Strike another one potentially off the 2022 roster

So the showcase on Sunday is 95 mins long. So they're definitely showing us something...

Also, I doubt this will be for everyone but MS just gave me a free £8 gift card overnight. Got a message over Xbox Live and it's been deposited straight into my account with an expiry of Sept 8th.

Nice gesture! It'll be spent.

I don't believe for a second they'll have enough to fill 95mins with. It'll be like 30 mins talking about the future of Xbox. Then 4 trailers each 15 minutes long. 5 minutes of outro music.

Lol... well not long to find out!

I don't think it's going to be that bad. They've been announcing their longer term plans for cloud etc ahead of the showcase so I think it'll very much be all about the games.

Maybe some trailers and a bit of background for the bigger first party games like Hellblade, Starfield and Redfall which will be a time sink, but then interspersed with more trailers for smaller announcements.

Given that they have shown nothing for months I think it'll be pretty decent.

A rumble that Banjo-Fourie or whatever it ends up being is in development and will be revealed, if not tomorrow, then not too far from now.

I maintain impeccably low expectations but Xbox and more so Game Pass having been missing this obviously perfect IP for new content for too many years

[nonny]

I'll be very surprised if that is real.

I'm going radio silence for today in case of any leaks and I'm not going to be able to watch any of the showcase till after it airs because kids... 6pm-8.30pm is right in the zone for bedtime routine and my wife gave me a death stare when I mentioned it.

[Cassius_Smoke]

I'm going to keep my expectations low so I'm not disappointed.
They've still not released a game this year!
Also, if they don't show a lengthy look at Starfield then that game is nothing but dust and air

[Cassius_Smoke]

My expectations were low but **** me, so far it's a terrible showcase!

[hudson]

Man alive. My game pass subscription looks to be not getting renewed anytime soon. Where are the big hitters?

[teddymeow]

All filler, no killer (yet).

And people whinged that the Sony thing was only 30 minutes!

[hudson]

Oh they bought Kojima.

Starfield looking decent

[Cassius_Smoke]

Starfield looks arse. The Ai is Fallout 4 stupid and the framerate looks awful. Also did anyone see his backpack just pop in and out of existence?

[teddymeow]

What a waste of 95 minutes.

[briareos_kerensky]

Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Royal coming to all X Boxes and Windows PCs on October 21st. Why P3 Portable and not P3 FES, I don't really know.

Turned it off after a point, I'm interested in getting an Xbox but so little of what they showed interested me and it just kept going and going.

That was my first time seeing Diablo IV but it looked surprisingly drab and generic.

Halo/Flight Simulator trailer looked cool though.
