What would be your "One more thing" for the upcoming showcase

[peter42O]

The resurrection of Star Wars 1313. Fully exclusive to Xbox Series/PC.

@Shpeshal_Nick

No I meant Goldeneye, but the new Bond game being shown might be cool too

would love to see an IOI acquisition and see the bond game built specifically for xbox

…This fades onto the screen with this music, it either says “Remake” or “2” (don’t care which, just give me more of this IP), “coming x year”.

I don’t think it’s big enough to end the show on though… Sadly I don’t think anything Japanese is really.

Ohohoho holy shit. That would be massive. That OST is god tier

[Hindle]

Killer Instinct II.

Being developed in co-operation with XGP and Dialla?

GAAS.

Launches 2023

What I think will be shown anyway

[AllianceOfficer]

Introduction of Vault studios under Bethesda. Handling the Fallout IP.

[rtansey]

ZeniMax Online Studios next game I guess? idk

[ShinMegamiTenseiX]

Chrono Trigger Remake. A big F you to Sony’s FF hoarding.

[Deus (Encyclopaedia Ludica)]

The next Yakuza. Day One one Gamepass.

@Deus

The next Yakuza. Day One one Gamepass.

I always seem to remember Yakuza LAD was a day one on Game Pass for some reason but then I find out not

Looking at past years we had:

2021: Redfall CG reveal 2020: Fable CG reveal 2019: Halo Infinite “Discover Hope” CG 2018: Cyberpunk “gameplay cut” trailer

So yeah, two reveals and two trailers for previously announced (but not much seen) games.

Now in terms of what it could be…

• I’m sure they go first party for this one. Too many options.
• I’m not sure they continue the current CG reveal streak. They like to change things up (see e.g. TGAs) and might figure they should try something different. I think it could be either a brand new game, farther along with a gameplay cut trailer a la Gears 5 in 2018, or it could be a first extended showing of an announced game.
• I don’t think it’s a Bethesda game. Best candidates for new games would be ending on id, ZOS new game, or Wolfenstein 3 (if it exists). None of those feel like a show ender to me - ZOS because it’s sort of “wat” as far as studio/game type and the other two because it’s a bit “stereotypical Xbox” to do an FPS. As far as “first showing” types, I also don’t think they end on Redfall two years in a row or Starfield right after announcing the delay.
• Main candidates for new XGS games would be InXile, Compulsion, Coalition, or publishing. Of these, it could be publishing if it’s the right project (Banjo) but I’m guessing it’s not. Coalition is a great candidate if far enough along as I said in my first post. InXile seems a bit niche and also far out, as much as I’m there for it personally. Compulsion is probably closer and a better candidate, but does it really work as a “mic drop” or “one more thing”? Idk.
• Main candidates for first showings from XGS would be Fable, Perfect Dark, Avowed, SOD3, Forza Motorsport, technically Everwild and Hellblade 2. I’d say it’s clear it won’t be SOD3 or Forza ending the show. Avowed doesn’t feel mass audience enough. Everwild and Hellblade are too “familiar” even though we know almost nothing in terms of actual gameplay.

So for me that leaves the following best options:

1. Compulsion’s game, if it looks amazing
2. Coalition’s new IP, if it’s far enough along
3. Perfect Dark, if it’s in good shape
4. Fable
5. Major publishing reveal like Banjo

If I had to pick just one, I’d cheat and say Coalition or Fable would make the best ends to the show.

@Cairnst

Not gonna happen any time soon but it seems like there’s a decent chance we’ll get a wave of Activision BC once the deal goes through, assuming that lack of publisher approval was the issue there and not technical reasons.

That’s a shame. It got be a nice way to get some good PR for Team XBox without needing to buy another studio. Hopfully MS will show me up and show off amazing stuff coming for 2022 next month

[TheBrightestSun]

@TeamAndromeda

but can’t we have more games getting frame rate or screen res boost

It all requires some work, investigations and technologies. There is a limit on what can they do. Stuff like Auto HDR, sharpening filters etc. took some time for development.

@TeamAndromeda

If XBox bought SEGA mind, Starfield could be delayed in to 2024 for all I care then LOL

Maybe they will acquire something. We don’t know.

[SoulBlazerz]

One more thing, hmm…

Honestly, I’m not sure. It can’t be a tease, because ending off not on gameplay isn’t fun. I also can’t think of current XGS projects that would fit that “Omg, this is being made?!” feeling I’d want from a “last thing”. It’s gotta be something that’s both a surprise but still either has some gameplay, or is known enough that people don’t need to guess how it’ll play.

Which really just makes one thing stick out to me. A Halo Wars 3 announcement would be very cool, even if I’ve barely played 1 and 2.

It was a next gen series exclusive though which was good.

I think Halo Wars 2 was the “one more thing” for Xbox’s Gamescom show in 2015 (with a CG teaser). That was a different time, though, and I don’t think they would end on a strategy game. Fable was the “one more thing” in 2020 but again, CG.

Honestly, assuming it’s a new reveal and not just gameplay of a previously announced game, Project Midnight might make the most sense. Or some unknown Bethesda title we don’t know about.

Yeah that’s actually one of my predictions for the future of Xbox. I foresee 007 becoming a pillar franchise for Xbox. IOI will be purchased. All of Activision’s 007 games will become backwards compatible. Rare’s Goldeneye will be remade.

[commanderbuck]

For me Conkers Bad Fur Day 2.

[No-1HoloLens-Fan]

At this point of time if they have any surprises announcement for release end of the year, then that should be the one more thing

[GamingFirefighter]

A kart racer game with iconic Xbox characters

[MrEvil37]

@No-1HoloLens-Fan

I agree with you if it’s something big like Wolfenstein 3. I don’t think they should end on Penitment or Project Belfry (or Forza Motorsport).
