[Spoiler Free] Xbox + Bethesda Games Showcase |OT| Tempered Expectations Not ALLOWED! [Spoiler Free]

Lets not start overhyping next years e3 just yet. MS didnt really show a lot of their own games this year. I would love for them to move to a model more like the State of Plays that Sony does. Show games when they are ready to be shown. With the amount of studios and projects they could have these on a fairly regular basis.

It’s clear that MS has listened to criticism about the lack of gameplay, we had some really good trailers here showing gameplay.

But that being said, it was a bummer Contraband, ToW 2 and Redfall were nothing but cinematic. I am guessing Contraband is so early they can’t show anything, the same is of course true for ToW 2 but Redfall is one I don’t really get.

Summer 2022 is the release date, you’d think this very last game at the show could have been a demo. But I am confident from here on out we can only see this improving more. Next year has a guaranteed Starfield deep dive, and I expect gameplay from other XGS titles too.

Contraband and TOW 2 are 2023 titles at best, for Redfall I think they went safe with CGI only, but, as I said in other threads, they should show gameplay at Gamescom/TGA/possible X021, being a summer 2022 game we cannot see the first gameplay at next E3 1 month before release.

EDIT: there’s always Quakecon, which can be the alternative of X021.

Def their best show in years. And easily my favourite from this years E3. FH5, Halo Infinite and Stalker 2 look absolutely amazing.

Also well done @Thanathorn for correctly predicting Sea of Thieves x Pirates of the Caribbean.
