There's still the

Xbox Games Showcase Extended on June 14th

This was mostly an indie and DLC showcase until the last moment lmao.

Only the PC gaming show left.

[who is ted danson?]

i'd play starfield if it was on nintendo DS

[Beezy]

How tall is Sarah Bond?

[Svejk]

Capcom Showcase is still tomorrow... Aka, Dragon's Dogma 2 reveal, aka everything else in gaming will be piss.

[Bebpo]

Pretty disappointed Pentiment is the secret Josh Sawyer game in the works since Pillars II.

I really like Sawyer's work, but this looks so budget and I think the art style is real ugly. Plus looks more of a PnC adventure game than an rpg.

Hopefully it's good, but these years been looking forward to his next big New Vegas/Pillars-ish project and this is it :/

[demi]

Nightdive is showing something at the PC show nobody watches. They’re all about remastering old FPS games. Low but not no chance.

Goldeneye has been finished for ages, 4J Studios did it lol

It's already leaked on PC

That game looks butt ugly -_-

[HardcoreRetro]

Looked like it's going for the kind of art you'd see in medieval manuscripts.

Definitely.

But I also think it looks aesthetically ugly.

So for me in 2022 it's
- A Plague's Tale Requiem (enjoyed the first game on GamePass)
- Gotham Knights (depends on reviews)
- Persona 5 Royal
- Modern Warfare 2 (on PC)
- The Callisto Protocol (depends on reviews)

No hogwarts? Game looks sick

[Nintex]

Never been much of a Harry Potter fan, also I don't think it will launch this year.

[benjipwns]

Gotham Knights looks pretty good to me, I think they have confidence in it because they've shown gameplay for so long. The story stuff has had a minimal focus compared to how a lot of these go even though Warner liked the premise so much they stole it for a TV show they're giving the same title. Compare to Rocksteady's Suicide Squad thing where we don't know anything about the gameplay and all that's been shown about the premise was a "story" prerendered trailer that was just people making bad quips.

I'm willing to bet more on it because WB Montreal somehow impossibly nailed the story and presentation in Arkham Origins even though everything about that game should have been a failure like the multiplayer. Game also has the best boss encounters of the series.

[HaughtyFrank]

MS conference wasn't bad but I also feel like there's barely anything to talk about, at least not for me. Game Pass keeps being a good investment though

Only if you're willing to play games outside of their release window.

The worst part about these gaming shows is the cringe presentation

I mean outside of the Redfall presentation, thankfully we didnt have to sit through endless fake coop teamtalk (ala Ubisoft trailers)

Daaaaammmnnn,

Now tell me they are remaking SS2 in that level of visual fidelity next.

Starfield looking really mediocre

The amount of "AAA" sci-fi games revealed the past week is kinda laughable.

That actually happened, it's called Perfect Dark 

[D3RANG3D]

Are these people zoomers or something?

[Nintex]

Starfield has potential but I can see why they had to delay it.

I like the premise of a vast universe to explore but then the only goal is to raid bandit camps in space? 

[Bebpo]

Starfield reveal should’ve been flying around to planets taking on cool quests.

Not Mass Effect but worse.

SIXTEEN TIMES THE DETAIL

[Tasty]

Nintendo will surely save us 🙏

[Bebpo]

On the positive-side, I haven't paid any attention to Diablo IV because I'm not really into anything Blizzard, and I really dig the back to Diablo I/II dark & gothic & minimal color palette art style. Sure looks like old-school Diablo but in 3d.

Also the whole open world MMO style map fights sounds...cool? Basically seems like a Diablo loot MMO which I could go for. Might be the first Blizzard game I play since D3.

[Bebpo]

Good to hear that Woo Long is essentially Nioh 3 just in Ancient China instead of Ancient Japan. I still haven't gotten around to getting far in Nioh 1/2 but they really seem like the only worthwhile Souls-likes out there, so more is good.

[Nintex]

Nintendo will surely save us 🙏

In general Japan (and JRPG's) mostly will.
- Xenoblade 3
- Live A Live
- Soul Hackers 2
- Front Mission 1 Remake
- Persona 5 R

And many others

[Polident Hive]

Nintendo has a direct?

Excited to hear about the next Breath of the Wild 2 delay

You mean the best part.

Neil Druckmann was so obviously angry that his unneeded remake leaked before the show. Had me laughing the entire time.

"Anyways, here is a single piece of concept art of what our MP game might look like."

 

[Pissy F Benny]

Watched some of the Starfield trailer and it looks terrible

[Boredfrom]

I dunno why Bethesda thinks that it was worth highlighting the story of Starfield when is basically feels like standard RPG that lot:

“Join neutral organization that will allow you become a fascist, a hippie or a pirate. Collect magical items to advance the plot”.

I will probably enjoy Starfield, but dunno why anybody thinks this is going to end different than most Bethesda games.

Not a fan going back to the voiceless protagonist 

[Pissy F Benny]

The voiced was shit in Fallout 4 tho, and its current day Bethesda, a voiced protag would probably suck just as much instead of them learning their lessons and being better

Plus they get to avoid the whole identity minefield by going voiceless

Really? The voiced protagonists where shit in Fallout 4, it severely limited role playing and the answers you could give were very limited and unfun.

Capcom in theee hours, we ready to fly?

Next Gen patches for RE2, 3 and 7 as well. We feasting

That's true. I guess I hoped that this has some bazillion budget where they could maybe just do both. Lots of responses + voice.

Dragon's Dogma psychos like me are anticipating Itsuno to finally reveal Dragon's Dogma 2.. Waited 10 years for this game... Hoping the wait will be over... Got Into Free playing on repeat..
If they brought that song back, gonna lose my mind even more.

Can't wait for your reaction

[Pissy F Benny]

Whatever happened to that rad looking capcom game they showed around the launch of the PS4? Had a dragon's dogma/souls vibe to it.

I could very well be overly hyping myself for disappointment of a no show. Wouldn't be the first time.

Deep Down?  Yeah, most likely total vaporware.
