You know, how come there’s no “Why skip PS!” scenario. Legit curious and most likely won’t get an actual answer.

I didn’t realize the XBOX community had gotten so insufferable lately. Sony could have bought Square, because I think it’s the only way to stop all this repetitive and unbearable drama.

We get too down on ourselves and forget what it’s all about.

Reminds me of Touhou Lunar Nights, I recommend to anyone.

WB titles. What? Not good enough to say “more good games leaving service?” Because Xbox got one, so why they can’t get that treatment? Infinite free pass?

Maybe Microsoft could poach some of the developers and hand them jobs at The Initiative, InXile and Obsidian?

Do we really need to see more Forza? It’s cars, they look nice and go round, round on a track. A very short trailer and a date is enough.

I think we’ll get more Hellblade 2 though, and Awoved… That “soon” for Avowed is coming up on two years lol.

Other than that I feel it’s impossible to predict without knowing if they will stick to the lame 12-month thing or not.

They’ll definitely show Forza again as it’s a big game but I hope they don’t spend too much time on it

They already spent way too long on it last year and it killed the pacing for me and yes, please dump the 12 month thing

Not only because it opens you up to delays and “mismanagement” debates but because it really limits how much you can show, doing it again would be even dumber considering so many games are going to miss that window anyway so nobody is going to trust that going forward

I know people gave me grief for thinking the 12 month thing was stupid but I’ll be shocked if they adhere to it again.

All the doom/concern posting is kind of weird to see as someone who left the PS ecosystem behind after 4 generations and got his first Xbox this current generation.

Why? Not necessarily because PS is focusing on games I don’t care for. That had already been set in motion during last generation, when Bloodborne was the one and only thing that put PS4 over the top for me, even though I had considered getting an XB1. Last gen, PS’s proposition wasn’t necessarily exciting for me — but neither was Xbox’s.

The difference is that, while PS was focusing more and more on one particular cut of video game I don’t care for, while simultaneously dismantling Japan Studios, MS started to evolve partway through last gen. Backwards compatibility and Game Pass were huge, and the moment they announced the Zenimax acquisition, I knew their future first party prospect would be way more exciting for me than whatever PS could offer.

I get it, though. If you have been gaming on Xbox for generations, the wait for those prospects to actually bear fruits might be more unbearable than it is if you just got into Xbox gaming at the start of this generation, and thus still have a lot of legacy exclusives to work through.

I don’t get it… IGN gets the video first and Xbox own channel later?

Is this common?

They don’t call IGN First For nothing.

If it’s like the last three years’ worth of E3s, they’ll pivot to what the zeitgeist supposedly wants and then after the show we’ll hear about nothing but some new fabricated complaint about the makeup/presentation of the show… which they’ll adjust to, hear a bevy of new absurd complaints, adjust, repeat ad infinitum.
