Rumours

Pumped for this one, so many possibilities, ready for the shocks :toot:

Honestly I’m keeping my expectations low, a good Infinite showing will make me happy enough.

So many games are far out, big 3rd party games day 1 in GP will be great.

I want to hear what the Austin team at Arkane are up to, I doubt we'll find out but that's my main desire!

MS buying Sony. You heard it here first!

I'm hoping I'll watch the Xbox segment and be sold on their exclusives. Not the Bethesda stuff. I want to see the fruits of Microsoft's investment in various studios.

The Xbox is basically 2023's best console, so I'd quite like to see some surprises that aren't so far off. The console is a little future-loaded, though admittedly with Gamepass/frame rate boost being as strong as it is, they've been able to get away with it for now. There comes a time though where old games free/better is going to wear off for people and they'll want new stuff.

MS have plenty of new stuff, but a lot of it is quite far away still. Would be nice to see more concrete information about stuff like Fable, more gameplay of Perfect Dark etc.

I presume we're going to see Forza Horizon 5 announced and revealed as a late 2021 release.

This.

I mean, it is looking like 2023 is going to be stacked. The Forza Horizon 5 thing seems to be a given, as in, all the ITK’s are confident it’s on the way which is good, some are also very confident about Ubisoft joining GP. These 2 announcements alone will be welcome, and we are seeing Starfield.

Far Cry 6, Battlefield 6 and another big 3rd party game are heavily rumoured to hit GP on release, (this is to supplement the wait for exclusives) if Infinite has a decent show along with the above then I think that’s a good (if not spectacular) E3.

Microsoft will focus on getting us a lot of third party day one releases to keep the momentum going until their first party lineup starts flowing out. I hope they don’t rush any of them and release them when they are finished.

I hope we get forza horizon 5, as I am loving 4 and even bought 3 and 2 on disk recently to see what they were all about, but shame about them not being 60fps. I must admit i loved the nods to daytona and pgr in forza horizon 4 and hope they try to make the sequel more like pgr.

Halo infinite is big enough to be the sole first party release of the year, however think it will be mainly a multiplayer game and push a lot of dlc.

You nearly made it man, you nearly made an entirely positive post about Xbox but messed up right at the end.

You'll get there, I believe in you. :wub:

You do realise that Gamerforever turning is just foreshadowing your own descent into a PS6-only next-gen.

You'll end up supporting United too.

The Dark timeline confirmed.

Was reading there that Avowed is coming along really well and had a gameplay demo ready but they are delaying it till later in the year. I know the world building (in terms of lore) is done because it's in the 'Pillars of Eternity' world but extremely surprised at it being in a playable state.

Hoping to see more news on Hellblade 2, and if Flight Sim is coming to console, whether that means it will be available on xcloud as well.

Would be nice to see if they have any updates on the next Elder Scrolls, but not expecting much there.

Hellblade 2 will NOT be appearing according to Jeff Grubb.

I'm always wondering how these people know what's in the show cos he seems to know it all (not specifically what's going to be shown as in trailer or gameplay) but Jeff and that Shpeshal Nick guy off Xbox Era know what games are in the show...

Could be nothing but Head Dice guy interacted with Xbox's E3 announcement tweet.

Well strawberry float Jeff Grubb, then.

I wonder if they'll discuss the possibility of VR at all?
XSX is certainly capable and Microsoft do have VR tech so it's slightly odd that they haven't given it a go.

Grubb the scrub.

Scrubb would have been better.

No because I would have spelled scrub incorrectly.

Will definitely be watching this, really hope we see some of Forza Motorsport. Seeing more of Everwild would be good too.
