[old oxide]

did phil said 25 minute or 45 minute earlier?

[ruby fulcrum]

Is this finally not for Xbox one

[shy burrow]

It was for a couple years 🥲

[strong spade]

25

[charred grail]

black ops looks like its gonna suck

[charred grail]

It’s coming to last gen

[shy burrow]

If we get gears of war, then the next Halo, 😮‍💨

[old oxide]

yeah i would assume its 25 minutes

[charred grail]

theyre hyping it too much but its just going to be the same clone

[ashen walrus]

do you happen to play on ps

[charred grail]

atleast its day one

[elfin trail]

Nuh uh

[short blade]

@charred grail If you're not interested, move on and let others be excited.

[charred grail]

i play ps5 and pc

[elfin trail]

Black ops was always peak

[ashen walrus]

you have to pay full price on ps haha

[shy burrow]

Idk I heard that black ops 6 isnt transferring any MW, MW2, MW3 skins or bundles, so it seems a lil different so far 🤷‍♂️

[inland rock]

Coming to Game Pass, this will likely be the first Call of Duty game I'll play through

[craggy ledge]

We are back

[charred grail]

not on pc lol

[proven token]

just show more game play :S too much talking

[charred grail]

Every black ops game has been great or amazing, compared to other CODS

[mint wagon]

Bo6 connected to bo2??????

[shy burrow]

Agreed

[mint wagon]

WOOODDDSSSS

[shy burrow]

Treyarch is peak CoD

[ashen walrus]

who cares dude its a good game

[molten axle]

No ff7 remake though or Japanese games other than the mecha game

[charred grail]

i guess the campaign is fun

[elfin trail]

Cold War was peak

[inland rock]

FF7 Remake was never going to make an appearance today

[short blade]

Or ever

[elfin trail]

Anyways all digital Xbox is stupid as hell

[proven token]

i dont trust cod anymore

[elfin trail]

physical media all the way ‼️‼️‼️

[ashen walrus]

blame sledgehammer games

[short blade]

I prefer Digital, so fine with me.

[charred grail]

I’m guessing it’s cuz Xbox’s data tells them most people buy digital over physical

[neat sphinx]

To soon for final fantasy. Square just realized they need to go multi plat on their games

[molten axle]

Yah

[short blade]

I've no need for it though unless my current Series X dies on me.

That 2TB one looks pretty slick though

[charred grail]

It’s gonna be cheaper compared to the existing X

[elfin trail]

I have a fat stack of games so like I kinda need that disc drive

Plus physical is cheaper sometimes

[tulip citrus]

Ok, the new colour variant I like for the Series X

[sleek relic]

I was gonna say the same

[charred grail]

It’s way cheaper cuz you can buy and sell used games and not lose money

[olive tundra]

The Series X Digital Edition is most likely pointed to those that want the power of the Series X but don't use the disc drive at all.

This is just appealing to those that have all digital libraries, like me. I don't use discs anymore, everything is digital.

[tulip citrus]

Not the snasy Digital X

[tacit schooner]

Just bring back Kinect. Just dance 2024 is so pathetic, doesn’t even support webcams

[elfin trail]

Lmao the Kinect

[ashen walrus]

i got 13p for giving a game to cex

[charred grail]

honestly bethesda shouldnt have given too many expansions

[fervent kelp]

so is it true this game is going to be 300 GB? 💀

[inland rock]

Kinect isn't coming back, not much point for Just Dance to continue supporting after a certain amount of people no longer have a Kinect

[wheat bay]

OH NOOOO they said different approach. That's means that open map warzone type missions people hated in MW3

[charred grail]

On eBay*

I made money buying and selling games since 2015 only cuz of physical media. Hopefully it never dies.

[normal snow]

nice games

[tulip citrus]

Hell yeah, like every other COD

[ruby fulcrum]

Bruh

[solar glade]

Bruh

[normal snow]

im watch on youtube live on stream

[elfin trail]

They probably have a different take on it, like the levels are probably built around it

[olive tundra]

I might grab the digital Series X too, I'm moving to Brisbane soon and need a cheaper gaming device that plays games just fine.

[fervent kelp]

im actually scared how big file size GTA 6 will be lol

[olive tundra]

And that is within my budget too.

[solar glade]

Lol

[charred grail]

I’m guessing 200GBs

Jedi survivor is 150GB for some reason

[white shore]

7/10 no handheld

[fervent kelp]

no Halo 😭

[charred grail]

best xbox show of the last decade easy

[neat sphinx]

New Gears though.

[inland rock]

A handheld was always going to be too much of a stretch this soon when it was still early this year that Phil first spoke about being interested in one

[tacit schooner]

Their beta phone app is so inferior to just a simple cheap webcam input. I’m not asking for the full Kinect back, just saying I miss it at times, way less friction then VR.

[viscid jungle]

easily best showcase I have watched in awhile.. was expecting more GP stuff but I guess that could be a random post this week

[elfin trail]

Does anyone actually play gears of war anymore

When was that last one like 2019?

[sleek relic]

What year was the sod3 announcement

[tulip citrus]

No more than 200 Gigs?

[inland rock]

Gears 5 was absolutely fantastic though

[still ridge]

I don't like the sparkles on the Series X Special Edition but I like that it has 2TB haha

[tiny citrus]

Wa glad to see SOD3 isn’t dead

[onyx sluice]

I love Gears

[white shore]

Even then, a revised Xbox Series X may appease some folk but I don't think it's gonna sell a lot of Xboxes.

[old oxide]

damn thats interesting

[elfin trail]

Ok I won’t lie 2tb is awesome but again no drive so half my library is useless with that thing

[charred grail]

im really excited for all the games to come out

[neat sphinx]

Expanded movement in new CoD for all the teenagers who try to hard.

[charred grail]

I like it

Yooo sliding mechanics are crazy

[nocturne silo]

MP is about to be sweatier than ever

[ashen walrus]

it seems cool

[kind fog]

I love this

[charred grail]

Frfr

[onyx sluice]

Hackers are going to love that

[charred grail]

W buttons improvement

[ashen walrus]

that settings ui is awful

[charred grail]

It's about to be sweaty

[inland rock]

I guess the point here is to provide more entry points for players

[nocturne silo]

Copy and paste of MWII/III UI

[ashen walrus]

yeah its crap

[nocturne silo]

MW19 UI was peak. Simple and it did the job. All the next MW UI's were garbage.

[white shore]

Yeah, a 2TB Xbox is actually alright. No complaints there. I think it's definitely great for something like Game Pass.

[old oxide]

yay ragdolls

[neat sphinx]

Truth. I just am to causal I guess and am going to get smoked by people who can do all this stuff

[fleet urchin]

great showcase but damn was hoping to see that game pass streaming stick thats been in the shadows for years now

[ashen walrus]

death animation thing is sick ngl

[dull sorrel]

it's also 'limited amounts' and 'select markets' so I don't think they are looking to sell a lot of the 2TB

[charred grail]

cod ui and hub thing is a massive mistake but whatever

[white shore]

well yeah, it's a Special Edition.

[tulip citrus]

So if they implemented the 2TB on a Series X, why couldn’t they do the same for the Series S?

[elfin trail]

Costs

[ashen walrus]

im gonna love running around with that shotgun

[elfin trail]

They wanted to keep it cheap

[tulip citrus]

Ladies and gentlemen…HALO INFINITE EDITION

[onyx sluice]

I feel that 💯

[ashen walrus]

yeah like the one on mw3 rn

[vast raven]

How much will the series x be

[mint wagon]

I wonder if the 2tb version will still have the expansion slot

[short blade]

Of course it would.

[tulip citrus]

$600 for the 2TB limited edition (although the resell could absolutely be tarnished)

my high guess

[charred grail]

well that was a GREAT showcase, id most likely get most of the games tbh

[safe maple]

6/10 show, it flowed smoothly and it had some interesting games

[tacit schooner]

150 is the delta with a 1TB Storage Expansion Card, couldn’t imagine going back to 1TB.

[charred grail]

im really excited for state of decay 3

[fervent kelp]

Ayyyyy changing HUD feature

[ashen walrus]

cold war scorestreak system is so peak

[neat sphinx]

That are all coming out next year. My biggest gripe with the show is the ones that interested me the most were next year

[short blade]

No discussions of leaks and rumours please.

[dull sorrel]

I love their format of just trailer after trailer with little talking

[proven token]

still no activision games on game pass ? kinda would of been a good time to announce it

[mint wagon]

This

[tacit schooner]

This was bearable at launch, but with more and more games not just being happy with external ssd, the storage expansion maxes out at 1+2TB

[nocturne silo]

Same. A few of the trailers here had narration that was slow and mood-killing.

[ashen walrus]

presteige icons!!

[short blade]

Yeah, same. If a show has too much talking and interviews I'll turn it off and catch the trailers after. Save the interviews and stuff for the after show.

[inland rock]

Because they may be scheduled for a later point that doesn't clash with their current release slate

[safe maple]

this is what made SGF an absolute slog but what i like about the xbox showcase, its just trailer after trailer with some recaps in the middle

[tulip citrus]

Oh, my bad

[charred grail]

True

[ashen walrus]

presteige icons lets go

[charred grail]

My guess on the no release date Xbox games are they are planned for late 2025 or 2026

[dull sorrel]

exactly, save it for dev deep dives

[vagrant osprey]

Ah nice no longer the the bad prestige mode

[old oxide]

holy day one

[charred grail]

1000 levels what

[inland rock]

I like a mix of both. Sometimes show trailers and move on, sometimes, take the time to have a short presentation with someone from the team talking, tease, give a bit of pizzazz to the presentation.

[cursive sedge]

Finally classic prestige mode

[safe maple]

Thats how they did it in BO3

[charred grail]

fallout 76 dlc update is this month so thats one thing

[charred grail]

Wow

[ruby fulcrum]

Multi-player destroys games

[charred grail]

most of it are like coming 2025

[normal snow]

when back

[viscid jungle]

thats fine 6 months away till 2025, and likely have another developer diary in Jan/Feb

[vagrant osprey]

16 maps nice

[neat sphinx]

Is anyone else thinking of jumping back into Elder Scrolls Online after that 10 year video?

[inland rock]

I'm always concerned about having to pick between playing on console or PC

[old oxide]

one more thing

[inland rock]

Super solid list of games shown 😄

[tacit schooner]

Just assuming they are doing a GPU refresh. GPUs were just too expensive for what you could have gotten if it wasn’t for the crypto bubble in early 2020. Like +200% performance gains easily doable for less expensive gpu.

[neat sphinx]

Zombies, gotta love it

[charred grail]

Zombies!!

[gray junco]

Couldn’t help but notice the gym next to him

[neat sphinx]

I don't have a PC anymore so easy choice here

[ruby fulcrum]

Msfs2024 is the only thing I care about in this list

[gray junco]

Gum

[vagrant osprey]

Pretty excited for this cod now

[gray junco]

Gobble gum is coming back 😳😳

[inland rock]

It's not about that for me 😛 It's about which platform my friends would play on

[ashen walrus]

hope the zombies lore isnt awful

[willow berry]

Treyarch still using windows 10 🤣

[safe maple]

whats wrong with that

[tacit schooner]

Just wild that fall next year is already 5 years into series X.

[gray junco]

They know what’s good

[inland rock]

It's not uncommon for studios to not upgrade their OS until they are done with the current project, so as to not interfere with their existing tools and processes.

[old oxide]

whats wrong with that

[willow berry]

idk it’s just funny ig

[neat sphinx]

I refuse to believe that

[gray junco]

5 years into series x yet devs don’t want to use its full power because of Xbox one

[old oxide]

haha that "no" in the background

[charred grail]

Bruh why warzone 😭😭😭

[urban sail]

I really hoped xbox would put all cod parts on xbox pc store

[tacit schooner]

Hehe Warzone

[safe maple]

warzone
we were going so good...

[charred grail]

No warzone please

[urban sail]

no way

[gray junco]

Obviously they are gonna have war zone

Just be happy the swears will flock to it

Sweats*

[proven token]

not enough mp

[inland rock]

Games like Fable, Avowed and Perfect Dark all look pretty good and are for Series XS only (and PC)

[old oxide]

October 25th

[gray junco]

Took them long enough u gotta admit

[willow berry]

should i upgrade from a series s to that white series x 2TB

[ashen walrus]

mw3 zombies is so crap

[ashen walrus]

so glad we get real zombies back

[gray junco]

They bringing gobble gum back

[elfin thistle]

She mentioned warzone 😭

Its so over

[old oxide]

thats it

[viscid jungle]

only Xbox One game is BO6, Xbox already said they are not doing previous gen anymore. since late last year.

[dull sorrel]

isn't the white series X 1TB?

[willow berry]

battle pass :(

[old oxide]

the recap cinematics now

[vagrant osprey]

Good showcase

[elfin thistle]

This Marshall dude looks cool I like the stache

[limpid lantern]

so excited for some of these

fable hype

[old oxide]

Great xbox showcase

[gray junco]

Indiana jones looks so good

[proven token]

south of midnight looks really good

[elfin thistle]

What if we get to kill Saddam

[willow berry]

when’s that white series X coming out

[viscid rain]

My gf has just made me put the trailer on again

[willow berry]

that’s fine as hell

[old oxide]

"Sharing the love for all the teams involved in the making of these incredible games and this show!" ~ Xbox said in the twitch chat

[proven token]

1hr 45 mins lies

[inland rock]

So, SO many amazing games shown today

[elfin thistle]

ES6 announcing after the cinematics calling it now

[vagrant osprey]

I’m glad they didn’t drop physical with the 2TB model

[viscid jungle]

yep Anchel totally agree

[humble imp]

Great show!

[safe maple]

never ever

[willow berry]

i thought they did???

[old oxide]

2 hours and 13 minute show.

[shell sparrow]

wish they added some game pass updates on abk games

[old oxide]

thats pretty decent

[ruby fulcrum]

Yep I'm only pre ordering msfs2024

[elfin thistle]

Its over 🥲

[undone lichen]

I was pretty hyped for it all but the Playground Games thingy got me thinking it was Forza Horizon 6 - until noticing no cars and immediately shouting FABLE! 😄 I love these events. So full of mystery and exciting trailers 😍

[vagrant osprey]

No it’s just another option for the white digital which is fine

[charred grail]

We are so back
Metal Gear
Doom
Bo6
Gears
Elder Scrolls
Indiana Jones
W lineup

[willow berry]

the white series X is digital only

i’m fine with that but damn.

[red dagger]

was all the previous call of duty games coming to game pass just a rumor then?

[neat sphinx]

That Doom trailer was 🔥🔥🔥

[short blade]

Yes. Nothing has been confirmed at any point about other CoDs on Game Pass.

[inland rock]

And that's why you don't look at rumors so you don't get disappointed by misleading stuff

[short blade]

Everything else is rumours and people making things up for views/clicks.

[viscid jungle]

I was expecting more GP stuff for June. but yeah dont we get another announce soon anyway

[tacit schooner]

I would rather have one Series X with two Memory Slots. With all those Games needed fast storage now, you’re still capped at quite a bit below 4 TB even with the new Galaxy Black. That only 25% more Storage. 2+2 vs 2+1.

[dull sorrel]

this is why we don't take too much note of rumours, disappointment is bound to happen

[charred grail]

[viscid jungle]

that 2TB could be great but I dont really need another console

[strong spade]

This event was really awesome

[red dagger]

starfield was the only actual drop today right?

[tacit schooner]

Or their announce larger sticks. Or if you want, swapping sticks is the new “physical” lol.

[red dagger]

the starfield update

[strong spade]

Seeing metal gear solid in Xbox event was very weird.

[vagrant osprey]

2TB model seems great for people just buying

[undone lichen]

2TB is a lot of storage and you can only really play through so many games at one time haha

[viscid jungle]

ah yeah that Starfield update for tonight with new area and cosmetics

[red dagger]

i was hoping for a shadow drop 😩. I guess skyline valley is coming to 76 in 3 days so that will keep me busy

[viscid jungle]

dont forget there will be updates on podcasts from some of these games throughout the week.

[vagrant osprey]

I already find myself running out of room with 3TB SSD space on ps5 thanks to cod

[tacit schooner]

If they wanted they could go for the sticks as the new retail format, just considerably more expensive then printing discs or downloads. And you would loose a quite nice Blu-ray player

[frosty crest]

Would have thought we would get Indy and Avowed release dates.

[molten axle]

I’m wondering how the life is strange will work with previous save? Cause potentially a lot could be different

[frosty crest]

Shame, but I know they'll be out in a few months.

[strong spade]

They did?

[sand galleon]

We only know they are coming this year. No actual day and date.

[frosty crest]

We did get release dates? All I see is a vague "Q3/4 2024" details.

[strong spade]

Well release windows were announced previously

[strong spade]

Oh my bad I misunderstood what you said

Super sorry about that.

[oblique minnow]

Kinda disappointed we STILL don't have any word on when ActiBlizz games are coming to gamepass

[vagrant osprey]

Probably not anytime soon it looks like

[oblique minnow]

I imagine they're gonna announce a price increase to gamepass where the highest tier gets you day 1 games AND Actiblizz games.

othaerwise. this wait is annoying

[strong spade]

They already confirmed there's no new tiers

[viscid jungle]

did you not like SoD 3,Trippy?

[strong spade]

It'll be available in all of GP tiers

[tacit schooner]

My bet is, They will just add a new tier on top, shadow thin out ultimate and maybe even lower its price for cosmetics.

[neat sphinx]

With the legal challenges to the merger were they even allowed to start working on it before it finalized? And how much work is needed to bring a bunch of those previous gen games to series xs for game pass?

[opaque silo]

Guys. Should I get the new Xbox series X

[oblique minnow]

I liked it but with no release date or a deeper dive into other mechanics other than shooting, ngl I was a little disappointed

[limpid lantern]

PC gaming show in an hour peeps!

[strong spade]

If you have XSX already then not really

[viscid jungle]

yeah there are Xbox podcasts on this week with more info.. as they are not doing an extended showcase

[vagrant osprey]

Yeah will watch pc show probably

[limpid lantern]

https://www.pcgamingshow.com/

[strong spade]

If you were planning to purchase a Xbox console already then sure it's a good deal

[limpid lantern]

links to where to watch

[oblique minnow]

Aww yeea. I'm so in for that one

[opaque silo]

Ok bet. I'm looking into getting it then

[viscid jungle]

nice, Tes.. had enough games now for me.. making dinner now anyway. lol. all I am doing is watching Ubisoft tomorrow

[opaque silo]

Maybe for Christmas

[limpid lantern]

i'm going to go get some lunch while we have a break lol

[oblique minnow]

took just a few months for the bethesda games to caome to gamepass after their merger

[vagrant osprey]

Yep Destiny and Ubisoft tomorrow I’ll watch

[shell sparrow]

did we get any update for tony hawk or spyro coming to game pass?

[oblique minnow]

Nope.

[opaque silo]

No

[charred grail]

New?

[shell sparrow]

so no abk updates for their past games coming to the service

[strong spade]

All digital galaxy black series x

[opaque silo]

Yes

[strong spade]

Nope nothing about that yet

[charred grail]

Is it out yet?

[oblique minnow]

Overall I liked the show. Mixtape and Expedition 33 looked awesome.

[opaque silo]

In the holiday time frame yes

[strong spade]

Fable looks amazing imo

[oblique minnow]

Fable looked really good.

[opaque silo]

Get it like black Friday or for Christmas

[strong spade]

Playground games definitely know what they are doing

[storm badge]

any games coming out like soon soon or is everything end of year and next year

[opaque silo]

I'm getting mu Xbox for Black Friday or Christmas

[strong spade]

Definitely deserves an A

[oblique minnow]

I was shocked that they actually showed Perfect Dark gameplay. And it looked fantastic too

[strong spade]

The pacing of the showcase and variety of games were amazing imo.

[viscid jungle]

there were some in July,September so yeah not long to wait.

[grim ether]

No it doesn’t

[strong spade]

Well it was a very needed update for the game

[grim ether]

It deserves an S TIER

[strong spade]

True!

[oblique minnow]

I thought they weren't gonna show Perfect Dark gameplay for another 2 years but daaamn. Looked good

[tacit escarp]

Yeah uh that showcase was amazing.

[humble imp]

I love Fable. I've played all of them. I was hoping the new one would be coming out this year, but 2025 isn't too far away.

[strong spade]

Bestheda had alot of announcements in this showcase.

[tacit escarp]

No forza or banjo but thats most likely next year

[viscid jungle]

yeah I got plenty of backlog to keep me going while waiting for these games

[oblique minnow]

2025 is gonna be crazy

[grim ether]

It was awesome. Feels like Mirrors Edge + Black Ops on steroids

[strong spade]

Also south of midnight looks super cool

[tacit escarp]

Doom looks amazing

[strong spade]

People are sleeping on that one.

[humble imp]

I'm excited for Doom and Gears E-Day

[sand galleon]

Im looking forward to Starfields new update. Hopefully it means weapon skins. Expedition 33 looks great too. I love turnbased games.

[oblique minnow]

Flight Sim having that update looked good too. Rescue missions, etc. I may actually download it now

[strong spade]

Supposedly it's the studio first ever game

And it looks pretty dope imo

s.t.a.l.k.e.r 2 looks awesome too.

[tacit escarp]

I never played gears but im willing to try

[oblique minnow]

Yea Louie, Gears E-day blew my mind. I thought for sure that was Fenix's son but then Dom came up and daaamnn

[tacit escarp]

Expedition 33 looks cool af

[arctic sierra]

I tried so hard not to cry, seeing Dom again.

[grim ether]

SAME. The turn based looked so immersive

[tacit escarp]

And it has active input stuff while you're doing the move. Similar to something like paper mario

[oblique minnow]

Yea Exp 33 looked really good. For a second I thought it was Lost Odssey 2

[tacit escarp]

I thought it was dishonored 3

[sand galleon]

Dragon Age though. If that is how the game looks, it doesn't look great in my opinion. Have to wait till Tuesday though to see gameplay.

[tacit escarp]

Ngl i cant stop thinking about doom

The game looked so damn cool man. I cant stop thinking about it

[oblique minnow]

Doom looked so metal

And the fact that it's in a medieval setting now. Awesome.

[vagrant karma]

Soo what’s up, what big stuff got revealed?

[tacit escarp]

And it actually looks good!! Like omg imagine the music

[tacit escarp]

NEW DOOM PERFECT DARK NEW GEARS GAME EXPEDITION 33 METAL GEAR SOLID 3 DELTA AND SO MUCH MORE

[grim ether]

@strong spade you still have doubts on the future of Xbox after this showcase? I still remember our discussions before haha.

[tacit escarp]

Starfield expansion looked cool too

[grim ether]

Turned to a horror game real quick

[oblique minnow]

Biggest surprise to me was Perfect Dark gameplay. That threw me off-guard

[tacit escarp]

Yeah the switch up was bizarre

[vagrant karma]

Sweet stuff

[tacit escarp]

I like it tho. It's different from the main game

[grim ether]

South of Midnight for me

[arctic sierra]

Facts. I wasn't expecting that at all.

Looks super cool.

[shell sparrow]

perfect dark looks very good

[grim ether]

South of Midnight reminded me of a Southern Kena Bridge of Spirits. And felt really fresh

[sand galleon]

Never finished Doom Eternal. Didnt really hit for me. Hopefully the next one does.

[tacit escarp]

That's it. Im going to bethesda's studio, I'm stealing a copy of doom i need it right now god dammit..

YOU CAN FLY DRAGONS JSEJEJEMCKDJR

My dopamine receptors are dying

[sand galleon]

Indiana Jones is looking great. Really looking forward to it.

[grim ether]

Glad to hear the biggest Xbox critics also giving good praise for where it’s due

[tacit escarp]

Dreamcast guy:

[humble imp]

The combat in Perfect Dark reminded me of Mirror's Edge, especially the hand-to-hand combat.

[grim ether]

“Is that it?”

[grim ether]

Same. I thought it was from the same devs as Mirrors Edge.

[tacit escarp]

He said the show would've been a 4/10

Then he started deleting tweets. Clown.

[grim ether]

What a joker

[tacit escarp]

Perkect dark parkour looks insane

[grim ether]

Nahh even as someone who criticized Xbox last few months, that showcase was the best one they’ve done probably ever

[tacit escarp]

One game that i praise for parkour was watchdogs 2, god that game was great

[grim ether]

Every single game was hype and engaging

[tacit escarp]

Every person was at least happy with one thing there

[vagrant osprey]

Yeah reminded me of mirrors edge

[grim ether]

Exactly. I dare to say 2

[tacit escarp]

A gears prequel is really what the series needed

[vagrant osprey]

Marcus and my man Dom yeah looking forward to it and should be a great showcase of UE5

[tacit escarp]

Btw how was perfect dark in development hell when the product looks so far ahead right now

[undone lichen]

perfect dark sure looked interesting. I look forward to seeing more and playing that whenever it releases. Flintlock was one I had my eyes on from last year so glad to see it got a release date as I was beginning to wonder if it was shelved or something with little mentioned about it since the announcements last year

[strong spade]

Honestly Xbox is heading in the right direction this generation, and I'm loving how we are starting to see the results of their new partnerships, I can't say I was never pessimistic about Xbox future but you can say this event made me more optimistic about it XD

[tacit escarp]

This is what Playstation should be doing.

[grim ether]

What was y’alls favorite game from the showcase? And the underrated fav game/surprise?

Mine was Gears E day
Underrated was Mixtape or Expedition 33

[tacit escarp]

I own a Playstation and im extremely dissapointed

[oblique minnow]

What I really liked about this showcase was that there was something for everyone. If you don't like Doom then you got Avowed, if not then State of Decay 3, if not then Gears, then Fable, then Indiana Jones, then Flight Sim, Perfect Dark. It just kept going

[strong spade]

Seeing Konami/Square-Enix/Ubisoft in this event was amazing.

[vagrant osprey]

Gears and perfect dark

[grim ether]

True. Same it was the fruits of investment. We just had to be patient

[elder patio]

Perfect dark was so cool

[tacit escarp]

I quit xbox too and moved to pc but i get to carry a lot of my xbox content to my pc.

[humble imp]

Gears of War Judgement is also a prequel. E-Day seems to take place on the day of the first attack.

[strong spade]

Expedition 33, fable, perfect dark, and gears of war for sure!

[shadow axle]

I'll have to rewatch later, there's an unbelievable amount of things on my plate, but im glad perfect dark had gameplay

[sand galleon]

Avowed is looking great too.

[red dagger]

id like to see a lego fallout game tbh

[tacit escarp]

Avowed looks a lil rough but it still looks great

[grim ether]

I have mixed opinions about it. But I am excited for the game

[tacit escarp]

Im still sad that I'll never see a hifi rush 2 happen.

[strong spade]

Definitely in a way better state than last time

I forgot, assassins creed got gameplay

[grim ether]

Do you have a list to show what was gameplay/in engine and what was cgi?

[shadow axle]

perfect dark no date 😭

[tacit escarp]

Also no surprise, cod bo6 really is a return to the true cod.

[strong spade]

Well definitely not a 2025 release

Probably 2026-2027

[undone lichen]

first time I had seen anything about Avowed I immediately thought it was Fable. Has a Fable sort of vibe to it imo

[jade dagger]

Didnt' dig into that level of detail for ya 😉

[tacit escarp]

If the game looks this good now image how it will thenn..

[vagrant osprey]

Gears E day hopefully will be the Halo Reach for the franchise

[shadow axle]

big text jumpscare

[frosty crest]

Fable looks good. Can't wait to play that next year.

[dull sorrel]

pin this please

[grim ether]

Got this from another group. You can delete if it is wrong.

[sand galleon]

Alot of good games announced. Hopefully people can stop saying Xbox is dead now but it wont happen.

[strong spade]

Playground games will definitely make something remarkable with fable I'm sure!

[tacit escarp]

Ever heard of the xbox tax.

[grim ether]

Couldn’t fit in the last few games but that pretty obvious. Like Gears was “cgi”

[tacit escarp]

It was in engine

Gears was in engine.

[grim ether]

I’m pretty sure it was. Coalition

[tacit escarp]

Ue5?

[grim ether]

Definitely. Coalition are the UE5 masters

[tacit escarp]

Lets hope toys for bob cooks something banjo related for next year showcase

Or. Spyro.

[strong spade]

Banjo mentioned!

Well I do hope they remake banjo games or something.

[tacit escarp]

Ue5 banjo/j

[grim ether]

Only thing that could have made the game showcase God Tier was if they showed Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5 or a New Vegas remake. But no complains. They delivered more than enough just now

[strong spade]

Honestly i want bestheda to take all the time they need for ES6

[tacit escarp]

Fallout 5 aint coming out till for awhile.. same with elder scrolls 6

[undone lichen]

I can't wait to experience all these new games over time with the OLED monitor I ordered. Really going to look stunning 😮 though being on OLED I do worry a little about some games and their UI so sure hope more games add a dynamic UI option where certain elements of the UI can come and go depending on events in game etc

[oblique minnow]

Also pretty wild but the next 76 update will let you play as a friggin Ghoul. Niiice

[strong spade]

That one can't miss.

[strong spade]

I have been waiting for 10 years now (or more), I can wait few years more.

[humble imp]

UE5 🥺

The great Gears of War piece was a CG from Blur Studio, using in-game assets from UE5.

Game info: Gears of War: E-Day is the next mainline game in the Gears of War universe, set during the pivotal Emergence Day. Fourteen years before Gears of War, war heroes Marcus Fenix and Dom

Twitter · Jun 9, 2024, 6:28 PM

[oblique minnow]

I'm UE5 we trust.

[grim ether]

I think for Elder Scrolls 6 it needs to have its own reveal trailer outside of the showcase. That game is on the level of GTA 6 hype so it should have its own thunder

[tacit escarp]

Did they add the cod games to the Microsoft store yet. Jeez. I wanna play mw3 on my pc, I dont wanna rebuy it

[vagrant osprey]

They didn’t announce anything about old cod games

Or the current one

[tacit escarp]

Bruh..

[frosty crest]

And Blur Studio too.

[vagrant osprey]

Yeah I was hoping they would at least put the 360 cod games on there

[grim ether]

Yeah tbf. I was expecting a COD drop on GamePass

[frosty crest]

It was Coalition and Blur.

[grim ether]

Lol that was how good the showcase was. We lowkeyed forgot about the old COD games dropping on GP

[strong spade]

Well I guess they are saving that for another day

[grim ether]

Yeah I’m not complaining. Have so much to look forward to

[olive tundra]

Gears of War E-Day, Fable, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, Black Ops VI, DOOM, think you've won me back Xbox.

Might grab a Robot White Series X.

[strong spade]

Though is the new doom game an exclusive?

[grim ether]

This is the official line up from GamePass 💚

[strong spade]

Oo expedition 33 on gamepass day one?

Well if the game looks great I think I'll buy it to support the studio first game.

[olive tundra]

PS5 too.

[grim ether]

For me, GamePass is the exclusivity. I don’t care if it release on PS5 as long as it is on GP

[strong spade]

great to know my friends were quite sad.

[olive tundra]

Expedition 33 is also on PS5 too.

[lucid birch]

what AoM was game pass too?

[strong spade]

Most of my friends are playstation users and doom fans.

[lucid birch]

[rustic juniper]

Im only interested in Fable

[strong spade]

Same here honestly as long as the Xbox made franchise don't go to other side I really don't care.

[grim ether]

Official post from twitter https://x.com/xboxgamepass/status/1799870414216409530

Xbox Game Pass (@XboxGamePass) on X

we eatin' GOOD

Twitter · Jun 9, 2024, 6:25 PM

[strong spade]

Well said Xbox game pass, well said.

[olive tundra]

I'm moving down to Brisbane soon so I'm in the market for a good priced gaming console and the Series X Digital is my choice.

[strong spade]

(wrong reply oops)

[grim ether]

I liked Mixtape. Stranger Things vibe

[strong spade]

South of midnight looks dope imo

[olive tundra]

The only complaint I have about the Series X though... expansion cards are expensive.

[strong spade]

Though the stuttering kinda ruined it for some people

[olive tundra]

At least here in Australia.

[grim ether]

We are also sleeping on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024

[strong spade]

Purchase external hard disk to store your games

Thats what I did.

[olive tundra]

That's going to be the plan.

Might be external SSD just so I can move stuff faster.

[frosty crest]

Doesn't Xbox also have another show later this week with more in depth looks at games?

[strong spade]

Extended showcase?

[olive tundra]

It has been a while since I've owned an Xbox myself.

I just use my dads Series X.

[grim ether]

Now now. Easy tiger. You asking too much now.

[olive tundra]

Honestly if I have to choose, Xbox for games. I had a PS5 at some point but the exclusives didn't really appeal to me.

[grim ether]

But yeah an extended showcase wouldn’t hurt hehe

[strong spade]

Also did anyone notice how they kinda announced that they are working on the next generation of Xbox?

"we are hard at work on the next generation of Xbox consoles"

[oblique minnow]

Not extended showcase but they're doing podcast episodes to talk more about the revealed games

[grim ether]

PS5 just for the LOU2, God of War games for me

[oblique minnow]

I'm surprised Towerborne wasn't shown. I was looking forward to that one

[grim ether]

They usually show gameplay there. Avowed had plenty of gameplay from Obsidian and Xbox podcast

[olive tundra]

TLOU 2 isn't on PC yet, hopefully soon, yet Ragnarok got a PC port announced.

[remote galleon]

Oh, is it 9pm GMT for the PC Gaming Show?

[olive tundra]

And Spider-Man 2 is soon most likely.

Most of these games are on PC already, that's why buying a PS5 isn't worth it for me.

[remote galleon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8trymrr_Fc fyi for stream

[grim ether]

The only god tier event in gaming now was the Playstation Event that revealed Last of Us II and God of War..

The Xbox showcase just now was so close to reach that. But it is definitely the best gaming showcase this generation

[strong spade]

God of war was announced in E3

[olive tundra]

Like if I was to build a PC a while after getting a Series X then all those PS5 games are already on there.

[hexed estuary]

New Life is Strange is the main thing I'm excited for from the showcase. Not too familiar with the other stuff they mentioned to be excited about it. But the Metal Gear Solid DID look cool makes me wanna check out their other games

[strong spade]

Same case with the last of us 2 I think

[grim ether]

At the PlayStation E3 Showcase right?

[remote galleon]

E3?

[strong spade]

Well E3 was an event where all platforms and developers announced their games

[grim ether]

Yeah but it was a proper PlayStation event with orchestra and all that

[grim ether]

Yes I’m aware haha

[strong spade]

I'm not sure you'd consider that exclusively playstation event xD

[olive tundra]

Had people say they didn't like the game because they think it was toxic yet they never played it, so how do they think it is toxic? 😅

[strong spade]

LIS new game looks super cool imo

Haven't played true colors yet but I played 1 and 2

[hexed estuary]

Huh???? 😭 Which game LIS?

[strong spade]

And before the storm.

[grim ether]

I mean tbf we all are in E3 season. Just not under the same umbrella and venue

[remote galleon]

Yeah, I would still book it off work for a week

[olive tundra]

Any in general.

[strong spade]

Well yeah, honestly I do miss E3

[olive tundra]

They think it is toxic.

[grim ether]

Who doesn’t…

[limpid lantern]

me

[grim ether]

But yeah. Covid…

[strong spade]

It felt like the gaming community was united during E3 event.

[remote galleon]

Only two things I ever booked off from work, E3 season and the big WWE shows like Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble

[hexed estuary]

Yeah that makes no sense 😭 I liked all of them, LOVED 2 and 3 especially

[olive tundra]

But like if they haven't played it then they can't really base games just off of what they've been shown.

[grim ether]

https://tenor.com/view/mayweather-for-you-throw-gif-8082067

[olive tundra]

As the saying goes.

Never judge a book by its cover.

[digital pewter]

#rules 😃 1. Be cool, kind, and civil. Treat all members with respect and express your thoughts in a constructive manner.

[grim ether]

World Cup for me

[arctic sierra]

Digital events are so much better than E3 ever was, honestly.

[charred grail]

e3 got worse and worse for like 10yrs straight idk how u could miss that honestly

[limpid lantern]

going to e3 was .. $$$$$

i can go to pax for way less

[olive tundra]

PAX way better.

[arctic sierra]

Too expensive, tons of prep work for a comparatively small event (as far as external media goes, that is), and yes, even though it sucks not being able to physically go to E3 or something, having everything at home is so much better.

[grim ether]

I think the quality of the showcases now are cooler in terms of the trailer and timed presentation.

But I miss the E3 vibe even just watching it live on stream. The community and fans make it fun

[arctic sierra]

Understandable, for sure.

[grim ether]

Tho for Xbox they’re digital showcases have been so much better than their e3

[olive tundra]

The days where you could connect with others there... long gone. 😔

Now it's all on screen.

[grim ether]

Playstation hasn’t had a good digital showcase. They really needed that live orchestra haha

[limpid lantern]

they still go to conventions

[vagrant osprey]

I do miss the PlayStation e3 events tbh

[grim ether]

Yeah they know how to make a show

[charred grail]

that social part of e3 was the good part but luckily is replaceable

[grim ether]

There’s still a convention that streams it for all the devs and gaming creators

https://tenor.com/view/keanu-reeves-e3-breathtaking-gif-14314495

[olive tundra]

True but I like full blown conventions.

[spiral tiger]

was too concentrated on the india vs pakistan match, what did i miss?

[grim ether]

Moments like this defines e3

[spiral tiger]

anything halo related?

[grim ether]

Nope

[olive tundra]

No Halo this time.

[spiral tiger]

: (

[olive tundra]

Maybe at extended showcase?

[grim ether]

New Gears of War

[grim ether]

Nahh surely they’d say something about Halo on the actual showcase

[olive tundra]

Hmm, would be a shocker if they dropped the ball.

[hexed estuary]

South of Midnight also caught my eye! I'm interested in that

[strong spade]

Well I'm not sure about most people but I didn't like halo infinite

[olive tundra]

And like surprised us all with new Halo stuff.

[strong spade]

I think they should take their time with the next game.

[charred grail]

We are getting extended gameplay for Snake Eater on Tuesday

[grim ether]

Here’s to another year struggling with productivity with all the games lined up

[strong spade]

No need to rush them for a new halo.

[charred grail]

Going over the missing projects, Everwild is one

[strong spade]

Playstation must be flabbergasted right now lol

[olive tundra]

343i kind of in shambles at the moment, give them a while and they'll be back on their feet.

[grim ether]

But I was confused with Snake Eater. That’s an old MGS game remaked eh?

[olive tundra]

Didn't their whole campaign sector get wiped with layoffs?

[strong spade]

Yup

[grim ether]

Never played MGS

[strong spade]

A really good MGS game imo

[charred grail]

Where was Townborne

[grim ether]

Is it Xbox exclusive? Snake Eater

[charred grail]

Also, going over the new consoles announced, I would still go for the normal Series X. It's what I want and not looking to spend more money on it for just 2 TB

[charred grail]

No.

But I guess Xbox might have marketing exclusivity

[grim ether]

Yeah that’s what it felt like

[olive tundra]

$699 AUD for Robot White 1TB digital, might grab one.

[grim ether]

AC Shadows “gameplay” was shown for the first just now

[olive tundra]

But then again I can get a brand new Series X on eBay for a bit less.

And a few games.

But Robot White does look appealing.

[grim ether]

The gameplay trailer shows real in-engine footage of the game in Unreal Engine 5, and The Coalition’s Kate Rayner details what the engine upgrade will do for the game, saying “With the advancements in Unreal Engine 5, the leap in technical capabilities is tremendous. This includes over 100 times more environment and character details than Gears 5, hardware raytraced lighting, reflections and shadows, next generation destruction and gore, and cutting-edge animation technology, to name just a few of the countless improvements that will make Gears of War: E-Day an unrivalled visual experience.”

Gears was in engine footage?????

[sage ibex]

blur studios yeah

[green rapids]

there's something really funny about IGN stream for a PC Gamer show

[olive tundra]

Actually never mind a Series X costs more than a Digital Series X.

At the moment so I might grab the new one.

[limpid lantern]

https://www.twitch.tv/pcgamer its tiiiiime

pc gaming show :)

[olive tundra]

The good thing is I can probably get it for $599 AUD.

Thanks to all the reward points I have on my Flybuys card.

[grim ether]

Let us know any interesting drops

[limpid lantern]

i mean..

things that are interesting will drop :)

[oblique minnow]

oh nice pc show on now

[limpid lantern]

lol

everyone has different likes and dislikes

omg those sheep

i am already sold lol

[grim ether]

Cool. Just wanted to hear your thoughts can’t watch it at work now. But can sneak a peek on discord lol

[remote galleon]

A farm game at the beginning

[limpid lantern]

this is all so weird and amazing

i love it

[remote galleon]

OH MY GOD

[grim ether]

What what

[remote galleon]

kURTZEGAZT GAME

[oblique minnow]

Yea it looked good

[remote galleon]

STREETS OF ROGUE 2

[oblique minnow]

I really need to try the first one. Idk why I never gave it a chance. I heard you can recruit a horde of people to fight the bad guys

[remote galleon]

You can, I have it, such a good game, hard though

[charred grail]

Playground Games also confirmed its collaboration with Eidos Montreal, who will be supporting the ongoing development of Fable, which will be coming to players in 2025. For Wishlist and more, visit xbox.com/fable.

[frosty crest]

You know, if I had a nickel for every time a developer of Marvel's Avengers went on to help Microsoft with a reboot of a fairly beloved IP, I would have two nickels.

[limpid lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/phineas-and-ferb-doofenschmirtz-if-i-had-two-nickels-gif-15378229905369786221

[grim ether]

Wait what? There is a Phineas and Ferb game?

Sigh

[limpid lantern]

i was talking about sulfur

[grim ether]

Ahh. Your doofen meme caught off guard 😅😅

[grim ether]

What work has Eidos Montreal done? I’m guessing they helping Playground with RPG stuff?

[oblique minnow]

Killing Floor 3

[grim ether]

Nvm just googled

[vagrant osprey]

Yeah killing floor 3 should be fun

[oblique minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-minion-gif-24225602

[limpid lantern]

this one is wild lmao

[vagrant osprey]

Probably the strangest gamepass advert I’ve seen

[limpid lantern]

i loved it

i wanted it to be a game though lol

[olive tundra]

The one thing I like about the Black Ops 6 UI.

Better than the Modern Warfare one.

[vagrant osprey]

Hopefully it’s back to what it used to be with the old games

[olive tundra]

I was getting sick of looking at the same UI three times in a row.

[green rapids]

I think COD HQ needs to have its UI and UX overhauled.

[limpid lantern]

hahaha this is amazing

all her snacks

[sand galleon]

Thats a bit too flashy.

[olive tundra]

So it says on the Xbox page that Black Ops 6 will be 310GB.

Is that true or is that with COD HQ installed?

Because there's no way MWII, MWIII and Black Ops 6 will take up just that.

[remote galleon]

I'm sure there was a thing about that today

Ignore me, it was from 2021

[oblique minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/piano-bugs-bunny-typewriter-gif-8019796

[manic sentinel]

They said black ops 6 size will be a lot smaller than that when it releases. That 310GB thing is the size of CoD HQ with MWII and MWIII combined.

[limpid lantern]

this game looks cool

speed running

[limpid lantern]

gi joe amazing

COD HQ was a mistake

[limpid lantern]

farming sim thats cute! i need it

gib

[arctic sierra]

So if you're banned...you can't even play the campaign?

...In what universe?

Not that this affects me, but like...the concept of this makes me feel icky.

[fair latch]

Crime doesn’t pay

[green rapids]

they really need to allow you to download the textures

install size be damned

we can uninstall MW2 and 3

[safe maple]

accounts banned on MW3, MW2, and warzone wont be eligible to purchase bo6

i think that makes up the online only aspect of this

[green rapids]

that's a specific clause for Battle.net

the first bullet point is the important one

[safe maple]

Aww

[grim ether]

Is Doom Dark Ages open world? They teased a flying mount and a Megazord damnn

[vagrant karma]

Oh god, knew it sounded too good, but it’s going to be with cod hq

[safe maple]

but yeah it kinda sucks it has to be online only

[sand galleon]

I woudnt count on it. Maybe open areas connecting to each other but dont think it would be open world.

[grim ether]

Yeah probably some stages in the game where you get to use them. But damn. A Doom megazord and a flying mount holy

And you actually get to fight in the Zord too apparently in the trailer

So excited

[safe maple]

i still dont understand the point of cod hq

[limpid lantern]

oooo solar punk game

[vagrant osprey]

They have had texture streaming since MW19, not sure why it’s required now.

[arctic sierra]

Megazord. 😂

But yeah, that was such a frickin' awesome moment.

Doomguy in a huge Doomguy mech is insane work.

[sand galleon]

Hopefully I can get into the new Doom. Doom Eternal was just, I dont know it felt a little too modern. Hard to explain.

[vagrant osprey]

Doom eternal I really enjoyed but was quite a lot different

[arctic sierra]

I...have a vague idea of what you're saying, and yeah, I had similar issues.

[grim ether]

Yeah Doom Megazord is what I’m calling it forever lol

[arctic sierra]

I'm not entirely sure if this new Doom game will be for me, but regardless, I'm 100% trying it out.

[grim ether]

They teased the Megazord in doom eternal didn’t they? I remember seeing it in the skybox or something

[sand galleon]

I love swords and shields in games. Shields and shotguns will be interesting.

[vagrant osprey]

Been a while since I’ve played

[grim ether]

“Doom guy would never use shields”

Shields has blades

“Ohh”

[dull sorrel]

REKA looks so good

[remote galleon]

ew, ibuypower PCs

[dull sorrel]

Tactical Breach Wizards, that trailer was fantastic

[limpid lantern]

there is a demo on steam

oh aloft looks good

hyped for the multiplayer demo

[shell sparrow]

will the skins and skins rn on warzone and mw3 be able to play in bo6 or nah

[vagrant osprey]

Not sure. Seeing as they didn’t mention it I’d say probably not

[green rapids]

No

BO6 multiplayer is its own

BO6 content will be available in WZ however.

[charred grail]

to optimize space, is 300+gb. epic blatant disrespect

[shell sparrow]

damn so i could only use gundam skin in wz or mw3

[green rapids]

stuff still carries into WZ, just not into BO6 MP

[green rapids]

it's only the maximum amount of space. Which is 3 different Call of Duty games installed into CoDHQ at once, as well as Warzone

BO6 will very much not be 300gb on its own

[charred grail]

true

another reason i firmly believe the hub is a mistake. warzone should be a standalone thing

[green rapids]

hub very much was a mistake. keep items bound to an account but putting it all into the hub was a mistake

[crude wharf]

according to the listing on xbox bo6 will be 122 gb

[vagrant osprey]

BO6 and Warzone will probably take up almost the entire series s drive. MW3 campaign was pretty short and not much there so I’m expecting it to be larger for BO6 but obviously you can delete parts.

With COD HQ people quite often do not even understand how to install the games on there and play them let alone anything else. Most unintuitive UI I think I’ve ever seen. Hopefully they can at least make the navigation better

[charred grail]

And it's ironic considering that CD is working with Initiative on Perfect Dark.

I'm convinced that Perfect Dark will release towards the end of 2025 or early 2026, but the devs want to make sure it's possible

Gears I think is a 2026 game.

Same with Decay 3

[green rapids]

Map Voting seems to be present in BO6

thank god

[strong spade]

I have a feeling it'll be late 2026 to early 2027

And gears of war will be a next gen launch title

Considering that clockwork revolution and fable are probably next year releases if there's no delays happen

And south of midnight I doubt they would put a game like perfect dark along these games.

[vagrant osprey]

Seeing as cod will be on gamepass now I’ve finally picked up a 1TB expansion card on discount

Should pay for itself after a couple years

[arctic sierra]

So far, it seems like as much a return to form as can be expected, which is really getting me excited.

[green rapids]

Yeah

[shadow axle]

well that was a nice showcase, i should watch it again now that im not distracted by a million different things

yay perfect dark!

[sick rampart]

do i gotta install 300gb call of duty to play blackops6?

[shadow axle]

probably

[oblique minnow]

sameee

[vapid gazelle]

why? I don't think a cod will ever be 300gb

the biggest it will be is like 250gb

[fair latch]

someone linked earlier that it is already 300 lol

i didn't look in to it, but I still believe that xbox won't allow a game to be released that can't be installed on the original S, which meants 375 max

[arctic sierra]

I think I saw something somewhere say around 120 GB or something, but I'm not even close to sure. My head has been elsewhere. I think Xbox may list the full CoD HQ install as a singular thing.

Hence the 300.

So just take that with a whole beach of salt.

[oblique minnow]

time to check out the showcases i missed starting with wholesome direct

https://tenor.com/view/trixyblox-gif-23472773

[limpid lantern]

i havent see that yet either

at some point i will get to it

hopefully when ophelia is also free bc she can get me the whole time while i go 'omg so cute!'

😂

[oblique minnow]

thats a good idea 😆

Im counting at least 8 games so far im interested in so I count this direct as a success

[dull sorrel]

Anytime Tomorrow after ubi, or whenever you're free dm me

[dull sorrel]

I added so many yesterday

[limpid lantern]

does anyone know how long ubi will be?

[fringe root]

Ping the anchel!

[limpid lantern]

he is probably asleep lol

[dull sorrel]

I know there is a preshow and a post show, but no idea of how long

There is a twitch drop for watching for 60min as well. So I'm guessing the main show is an hour. But just speculation

[limpid lantern]

ok

just planning my day out, yk?

i still have to do my actual job 😂

so lame

[frosty crest]

I checked on my Xbox, and it is 122.

[vagrant osprey]

Destiny 2 stream up in a few minutes

https://youtu.be/-PYzMqhu3Fs?si=6TolOtQiXRc5Eaow

[shell sparrow]

The ubisoft forward is in 3 hours and 30 right?

[limpid lantern]

Yeah

[dull sorrel]

There is a 30min preshow with some announcements as well

Starting at 1130am PT

[limpid lantern]

Ok. 3 hours then

I'm debating watching at work or going home and coming back

[dull sorrel]

Will ypu have distractions at work?

[limpid lantern]

Hopefully not?

Kids are at school

[rough holly]

Yeah following on from this the 300GB mentioned is if you have all of the COD HQ DLCs installed

Aka MW2, MW3 and Black ops 6

At the minute installing literally everything is 272GB

[sour scarab]

I hope they announce some good games today

[shell sparrow]

Probably ac shadows, xdefiant and sw outlaws tbh

[sour scarab]

Could careless about Xdefiant…

[limpid lantern]

me dreaming over here about a fenyx sequel

a fools hope, but still lol

[shell sparrow]

Or the prince of persia remake

[vagrant osprey]

If they made this for me it would be Rayman 2 remake with Rayman trilogy remaster, remaster collection for first 3 splinter cell games, a return to Rainbow Six Vegas 3 and Brothers in arms

Maybe even an update on beyond good and evil 2

[stark lava]

Why do you think that's a fool's hope? Did it not perform as well as it should?

[limpid lantern]

with all the layoffs, and no trickles of info.. i am just figuring it wont happen 😭

just me being cynical, ig

[dull sorrel]

I'm not expecting many surprises since they shared posts of what was going to be shown. But there could still be something not mentioned. I'm really looking forward to this one

[limpid lantern]

guess i better figure out what i am doing lol

find headphones first

[dull sorrel]

10min until the preshow

[wicked sequoia]

What show is coming up?

[limpid lantern]

ubi

[wicked sequoia]

worddd

[grim ether]

When is the Ubi show?

[wicked sequoia]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPoJUPrCkkg

7mins

[grim ether]

So awesome. Will we be seeing you @inland rock

Looking forward to Outlaws and Shadows

[limpid lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-go-bullish-car-kid-kids-gif-27338537

[inland rock]

Haha nah, I'm in Malmo watching the show live with all my coworkers

[dull sorrel]

https://www.twitch.tv/ubisoft

there are Twitch drops

[boreal dragon]

Question is how come Xbox twitch is streaming the ubi forward. They've never done that before.

[wicked sequoia]

I don't think you should read into it. it's probably not that deep lol

[limpid lantern]

Bc it's cool

[shell sparrow]

How come they have subscriber chat

[limpid lantern]

Bc it will be chaos no matter what and this limits it

It's what I'd want as a moderator

[sand galleon]

Especially since some people like to always dunk on Ubisoft makes sense.

[dull sorrel]

yeh, if you've ever watched any of the gaming events, just spam and nsfw posts

[shell sparrow]

Well i want the drop for ac shadows

[limpid lantern]

Not really what I was going for lol

[dull sorrel]

you can get the drop by watching, you don't need to sub to get a drop

[inland rock]

By the way, the Twitch drops start from the pre-show live right now already

[dull sorrel]

yep yep, on it

[limpid lantern]

Same!

[inland rock]

I did promise The Division 2 news during the pre-show

[limpid lantern]

I may or may not ever use a drop .but better to have them then be sad later

[wicked sequoia]

I'll get the drops and still be sad later

[limpid lantern]

I might get into a game ages after it out, yk?

[inland rock]

I wanna play Monopoly with people in this server. There's so many experts in macroeconomics here I wanna learn from! 🤪

[limpid lantern]

Omg hahaha

[wicked sequoia]

"I want to ruin all these friendships" - Anchel

[dull sorrel]

that's what I heard too

[inland rock]

If I ever exit this server, I'll do it in a big way: screwing everyone in Monopoly 😂

[limpid lantern]

Lmao

[fringe root]

I'm pretty sure he already started that process with the tease of Nix plushie

[limpid lantern]

Yes omg. Facts

[dull sorrel]

[inland rock]

I also have cupcakes 😄

[limpid lantern]

Yum!

[vagrant osprey]

Anchel is this PC or console gameplay?

[limpid lantern]

We did see one part of a clip where it said press x to do something

[fringe root]

Drop on head

[indigo furnace]

ah some shooter game

[limpid lantern]

Xdefiant

[inland rock]

I think the initial trailer was from console, but please don't quote me on it, not 100% sure

[limpid lantern]

Love that they put the name of the game in the corner!!!

[vagrant osprey]

Ah fair enough

[indigo furnace]

Thanks for letting me know. I thought it was the rainbow six game or sth.

[limpid lantern]

Pls tell them that we appreciate it anchel!

[indigo furnace]

oh lol, I just saw that - thanks tes

[wicked sequoia]

I wonder what season of Skull & Bones will let you swim 😅

[inland rock]

Meh, some people drown on their own tears anyways 🤪

[wicked sequoia]

[indigo furnace]

No way.

[inland rock]

Oh look!

Whoops wrong reply

[short blade]

Smurfs DLC

[limpid lantern]

Lmao

[undone lichen]

kind of hoping there will be some news on The Division but with all the work on other projects with the Snowdrop engine it might not be 😦

[fringe root]

It’s a game by who was it again?

[inland rock]

There were already during the pre-show!

[wicked sequoia]

The Last Airbender DLC?

[dull sorrel]

we used to know him before he got 'too famous'

[indigo furnace]

Finally

[limpid lantern]

We had the first fan club #stanchel

[fringe root]

So July 16 I find out if anchel is still my friend or not!

[inland rock]

There's some good stuff as part of the season, bigger than past updates

[final pasture]

Ok I organized the release calendar based off the last 3 showcases

[undone lichen]

ooh, that's pretty cool but I meant something entirely new. Though it wasn't that long ago Heartland got cancelled iirc? was looking forward to that to maybe restart my liking for The Division as I burnt myself out of The Division 2 something nasty - like I don't feel I can get back into that game at all type of burn out and I love the type of game with loot and stuff 😦

[final pasture]

Do I need permission to post images?

[indigo furnace]

Yes, check rule #16

[dull sorrel]

yes, unless you use a site like imgr

[limpid lantern]

You need a role that you don't have yet. But you can post a link to an imgur thing or the like

[final pasture]

Could I supply one of y’all the images to post?

[vagrant osprey]

Ah I didn’t know heartland was cancelled

[short blade]

No, you can't use other people as a workaround

[final pasture]

I mean I guess, seems silly because that’s what posting an Imgur link does anyway

[short blade]

Another Monopoly game? Ubi will have as many versions as there are of the board game soon. :C

[final pasture]

I just wanted to share the release calendars I made with y’all

[short blade]

Well no, because the link won't render the image in chat and it's still you posting it.

[limpid lantern]

They should make some of the themed versions toggleable!!!

[short blade]

The only one I recall them making was My Little Pony

[limpid lantern]

Hello kitty- opoly

Oh there are tons

[short blade]

I mean Ubisoft, not the actual board game

[limpid lantern]

Oh yeah. True

But I vote for all of them 😂

[undone lichen]

The Division lore spoilers ahead: ||I thought Keener was the first rogue?|| 🤔

[indigo furnace]

Music reminds me of zen music

[inland rock]

That's what the new season aims to plot twist about 😁

[undone lichen]

sneaky ||and I think I saw someone else in that trailer that the players thought they could trust||

[inland rock]

Cue @green rapids saying something something music sounds Chinese 🤪

[green rapids]

Listen

[inland rock]

👂

[green rapids]

It was 100% bamboo flute

Not used in any way feudal Japan would have used it

But was how Empirical Chinese would have.

[dull sorrel]

love the seasonal changes in weather

[fringe root]

Waiting for Darks comments on weather next

[undone lichen]

is it just me or do we really not see seasonal changes in a lot of games?

[limpid lantern]

It's so pretty

[green rapids]

Not watching. At work lol

[limpid lantern]

Can pet the dog!!!!

Wins

[inland rock]

First next gen only AC game too!

[undone lichen]

can't wait to play Assassin's Creed Shadows too! So many games I think I'll need a second PC to play them all on 😮 lol

[arctic sierra]

Yasuke looks so cool.

That huge kanabo on his back is wild.

Damn. Kanabo does kanabo things.

Okay yeah. This game is too cool. Gotta play it.

[limpid lantern]

Yeah same

[charred grail]

Not to be rude, but I could swear that Shadows looks very similar to GoT. UI and everything

[dull sorrel]

love that chain assassination

[charred grail]

I mean it's a cool game, and it does look like fun.

[limpid lantern]

The sounds and lighting

[arctic sierra]

Even if it is, means Ghost of Tsushima game on Xbox, so either way it's a bonus.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[charred grail]

I mean true

[inland rock]

Considering AC Shadows follows the UI of AC Origins before Ghosts of Tsushima...

[arctic sierra]

Also that. ^

[charred grail]

I have yet to play Origins anyway

But I figured that happened alreadu

[limpid lantern]

Loved origins! it's my favorite so far

[charred grail]

But it's all these parallels that make me go "a clone of GoT". But there are different elements in play.

[arctic sierra]

I'm very conflicted with this gameplay.

Who do I choose? The ninja gameplay looks awesome, and the samurai gameplay looks awesome. 😩

[short blade]

Just because a game is similar in theme doesn't mean it's a clone.

Assassin's Creed has been around looooooong before GoT

[inland rock]

You can change at almost any time, Kylie

[arctic sierra]

Huzzah!

[charred grail]

You get the options to play in either heavy combat or stealth

PoP targeting 2026 release. Ok, that's good. Now we got our next major 2026 game confirmed

[dull sorrel]

yes, at the beginning of this they said you could swap at any time. I love that option
