I’m kinda throwing at last year in my mind cuz of the 12 month thing, lol

I think after the Redfall debacle there may have been some changes to the showcase. Xbox may be even more conservative on what they show. MS can’t pull off: Get all of that Shenmue 3 announcement hype, have the game turn out lackluster/bad upon release, everyone brushes it under the rug and moves on. Xbox probably just needs to drop games right after announcement more often.

They didn’t pull or add anything based off of Redfall, c’mon. You guys do realize different studios are making these games right?

My bold prediction for this years showcase:

They will show a lot of games. I will play a lot of those games.

They are, but these “conferences” are updated up to the last minute sometimes. Just saying they may choose not show something early, or they might change what video or segment they show of a particular game.

No, these conferences are planned well in advance. Videos - even more on-site gameplay - are taking a lot of time to prepare.

Funny the showcase day will also be the anniversary of this article:

I personally don´t believe it until I see it with my own eyes.

Can you imagine it, a proper 3D new Banjo or a remake with lovely graphics on par with something like Ratchet or even the Spyro remakes which looked lovely.

The rumor was that Sumo was making it, they made the fantastic Snake Pass, God I love that game.

Don’t really care about Banjo but I hope it happens for those who want it

MS have a lot of big IPs that are going underutilised

Could be made by the team behind BattleToads.

Sumo Digital is really good. They also did the Sackboy game that launched with PS5 and that was really good as well from what I played. So if they’re doing a reboot or remake of Banjo, that should turn out really good.

And Sumo’s already worked on Crackdown 3 with MS not too long ago. Even though everyone was always hoping Playtonic would do it Sumo isn’t a bad choice, they’re a talented bunch of people for sure. I believe they made the Sega All Star racing games as well and those are awesome!

They have a good relationship with Microsoft and usually assist with the Forza Horizon series. Plus, they also helped developed some kinect games in the past, so I wouldn’t be shocked to see Sumo working on it

Personally, after playing yooka laylee… I didn’t want platonic working on banjo. While I did enjoy the game it had all the design decisions that were in my mind were the worst parts of banjo tooie.

Holy shit, they did Sackboy? Yeah it was quite a lot of fun what I’ve played at bro’s place from it.

As much as I am looking forward to Starfield, I am equally ready for Avowed. A big RPG set in space is a nice change of pace, but I also need my medieval fantasy RPG to hold me over until whenever ES6 is gonna be ready.

If it doesn’t get shown here, I will just have to accept Obsidian need more time and it is much farther out than I had hoped.

It was a good 2d platformer
