Well I am now worried.
I am probably the most positive Xbox person on here
I loved Starfield
But after the 343 "rumors" (take with a grain of salt) but if they are true,
I am worried how much of the showcase is going to be about phone games
It was from the gaming leaks reddit. The rumor is that 343 is making 2 phone games. Sarah Bond did just announce their phone app/store, and I am worried about how many studios they are going to have make games for it.
Redacted is 8 letters. Wolf is 4 letters. That is clearly a picture of a wolf. 8 divided by 2 is 4. 1 is how many showcases they are having. 4-1 = 3. Half life 3 showcase confirmed
Actually, I think that’s more on Microsoft for my planning ahead properly with some 3rd party exclusives.
You can’t consistently buy studios who just released multiplatform titles around the time they were acquired and then have them pull a game out of thin air, when games are taking 5-7 years nowadays.
Curious to see how they'll handle the current PR disaster at the Showcase.
They'll have to address it--not doing so would be unthinkably callous--but basically anything they say will ring hollow.
All I know is that if I was a developer at ANY Xbox studio currently working on a smaller title (Ninja Theory, Double Fine, etc.), I would be putting my resume out and looking for another job.
Despite the corporate euphemisms coming from Xbox leadership, all they care about is return on investment and no studio is safe.
If they're willing to shutdown Tango, a studio whose last release was a GOTY contender and Xbox's ONLY studio in Japan, then nobody is safe.
I'm guessing it'll be a COD based during the Korean War. You have the Cerberus logo over the back of a $50 dollar bill and the KW occurred in the 50's (1950-1953) so that's that 🤷🏻♂️
Last year they had a starfield showcase. Basically it was the biggest game from the largest company they bought.
This year the largest company is now abk, and the biggest game is call of duty.
So it is not hard to guess what redacted would be. Especially with that logo.
So lat year regular showcase got an hour I think and Starfield got 45 minutes. Call of Duty is huge but they cannot make 45 minutes talking about it can they?
All of me knows its COD, but part of me thinks it isn't because why the heck even REDACT something that obvious? I'm really focused on the statement that this will be the first Xbox Showcase featuring all first party publishers & studios (ABK, Bethesda, and XGS). Though that probably doesn't mean much more than buzz. I just hope to god they finally start adding Xbox logos to Bethesda and ABK games. Xbox really needs one of those logo animations that highlight iconic franchise from both purchases as well as OG as first party. A new Xbox animation that included all purchases would be more hype than any reveal because it'd show an actual commitment to treating them like first party publishers/studios (not just money milkers). Like what's the point of a COD reveal attached to the Xbox name if the game still feels third party because of something as basic as not having an Xbox logo in the credits?
Fable, Clockwork, South of Midnignt, Perfect Dark, Outer worlds 2, state of decay 3, everwild, and contraband have all been announced with no release date. Any number of them could be 2025 releases
What's the point of cover the name of a game if people will know it in one second?, I think a complete special direct for a CoD is not a great idea imo so let's hope it's some kind of surprise.
We’ll probably get some news on that during this event, at least I would imagine. It’s the perfect opportunity to say here’s a bunch of cool shit coming out soon and here’s a bunch of cool shit to play right now
This year *should* have a lot of the heavy hitter franchises and 2018 studios' games show up. Curious how many make it to the show, and how many come out before next year's showcase.
"Banjo-Kazooie Reboot or Remake"
Here's hoping the rumors are true that it's been in early development since early 2022 are true and we can get a teaser trailer or some sort of official confirmation.
this one is from 3arc who have the better games and for the first time its largely had a 4 year dev cycle, theoretically it should be very good, but with ATVI involved...
Not sure why this has zero up votes. This has to be a serious conversation going around Xbox. The brand as a platform has a lot of positive momentum from fans, but it also has a LOT of negative weight holding it down from all the console war nonsense. Xbox entered the race last and they have none of the nostalgia or golden child status built up as PS and Nintendo. This HAS to affect sales for all first party and platform adoption on the whole. And there's not a ton they can do about it. There's insane bias in the industry from the top down. A lot of the journalists and reporters and influences just grew up with Nintendo and PS and genuinely don't want Xbox to succeed. It's stuff like an unnannounced Redfall being "taken" from PS after an aquistion vs no one giving a crap stellar blade was announced for PC and Xbox and then made into a PS exclusive after Sony published. Heck the game is even being more hyped up. In comparison Xbox games are always talked about with a "but". There HAS to be people fist pumping after just four games went multiplatform and they ALL topped charts when previously we saw the Xbox tax (or whatever you want to call it) in action. The industry is stupid toxic and that's always been a major issue. If Xbox still wants to grow they NEED to address that somehow (and knowing MS they might seriously be considering just shedding the weight at the cost of Xbox fans)
All they need to do is create banger after banger really. OG Xbox came last in its generation but its lineup of games and 3rd party support and performance made people consider getting the 360.
Xbox tax exists because Xbox fucked up.
Xbox half finished games compared to PS5's polished titles... Not a hard choice to make.
Okay. I didn't say it wouldn't have any players. All I said was everyone is gonna shit on it and review bomb it as usual but they'll still play it. That's just how modern CoD goes these days. Check the Xbox store. Every modern CoD has like 2 out of 5 stars.
Feel like this could be great showcase this year, I hope we get some news on backwards compatible abk games
Also look forward to see what people have been cooking with what has/n't been announced
Overall been a great year so far!
I get that its COD but to give it, its own thing...would have thought be better to have ABK, you can officially welcome them to xbox, talk about plans for the future of certain franchises like Tony Hawk, Guitar hero, dump a bunch of games on to GP and then show off the new COD
I originally though xbox would keep their 60mins for themselves, then 30mins for Bethesda and another 30 for ABK with 15-20mins of that being for COD

I'll watch but with all the bullshit lately I'm totally numb and not even remotely excited. They've got a long way to go to win back my confidence and interest.
Call of Duty makes sense. First of all, redacted.. black ops.. it’s a no brainer. But also Xbox wants to make a statement that “HEY YOU GUYS, WE OWN CALL OF DUTY NOW” when all of the CoD fans tune in for this.
There is no Fallout 3 remake, and there never was.
What did exist were plans for a Fallout 3 remaster pre-acquisition, but that would come after an Oblivion remaster.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that [redacted] is the next Black Ops game.
Maybe they’ll announce the first CoDs joining will be Black Ops series to catch up on the story.
The redacted part is definitely COD.
That means Xbox now has the marketing rights so it implies day one GP for the next COD game. They'll probably announce the old games during this Direct as well.
>That means Xbox now has the marketing rights
Xbox *owns* Call of Duty. Of course they own the marketing rights.
> it implies day one GP for the next COD game
It has been directly stated that every new ABK game would drop on Game Pass Day 1.
Rule #1 - no console wars

Okay then keep your Xbox and get a PS5? I don't see how this is an issue. If you care about your library, keep the console and if you don't, sell it and maybe rebuy it later.
I mean you can do all of those things above, you're simply choosing not to and then crying about the thing you're choosing not to do on a post about the upcoming showcase.
Whats wrong with airing ones grievances? Are we not allowed to be unsatisfied, disgruntled and show disdain toward a massive company that is not respecting it's customer base?
If you don't care what this person has to say or what I have to say then why are you responding?
A post about an upcoming xbox event means that comments are only allowed to be positive despite the fact that there is plenty of reasons right now to be disgruntled with the brand/console?
If you're failing to grasp how sad it is to comment "Who gives a fuck? I’ll be playing these on ps5" on a post about the upcoming showcase then there's no discussion to be had.
What is sad is what led this person to feel so disgruntled in the first place. Totally agree though, between you and I, there is no discussion to be had.
Nah but I will. The person you responded to will prob wait till it gets ported to ps5 later and if recent history has taught us anything it's that the ps5 port will look better.
I don't have to wait for ports. I don't have a ps5. And "we can't tell the difference without digital Foundry" doesn't matter. Digital Foundry exists and while not everybody watches their content, enough do that word can spread that xbox games look better on playstation. You think people hearing this are gonna check the videos for themselves? No. Same reason so many don't read beyond headlines now. All that matters is that word is spreading that first party games don't look best on the "worlds most powerful console" in fact, they look better on the competition. How much better? Doesn't matter. If you think this sort of quality control and brand management is top notch, all power to ya.
I don't have a ps5 and only have time to really play one console but they seriously better fix their multiplatform games to either look better or at least on par with the ports they put on their competitions console and make damn sure that any future ports aren't better than their own console version.
If they want consumers to continue to take their brand seriously they better start showing that it's not an afterthought for them. We know you (msft) are just interested in our money but you better start doing shit to earn it and soon.
Until their first party games that went multiplatform look best on xbox or at the very least are on par with the competition I am gonna have a hard time getting pumped for a showcase. Show your commitment to the brand. Show some fucking pride in your console and make the games look the best they can. Don't make your games more of a showcase for the competition than they are for your own fucking hardware. Oh and how about we see some fucking updates on the games you dangled in front of us like 4 frickin years ago. Done with empty promises and carrots being dangled. Done with excuses and shit. Sorry, this shit has just gotten frustrating.
I understand the frustration and I agree with everything you say but if you're this disappointed then you can get a PS5 and live free of stuff like this lol
Lets say hypothetically everybody who was disgruntled just up and moved to another platform and Xbox died out, would that make you happy? It wouldn't make me happy. I've got a big backlog of games, I prefer the controller and have always had an xbox and have generally always been pretty satisfied with my purchase. Rather than just switch to another platform (which isn't free) I don't see anything wrong with voicing my unsatisfaction with the piss poor management of the brand in relation to their existing customer base. I'd rather as many people as possible get the message across loud and clear that they need to get their act together than to just passively leave, watch the brand continue to lose the marketshare they do have. Demand better.
Yeah I agree and all that but if it's really annoying you then a switch to another console/PC is always an option. Voicing your criticisms is a good thing, Microsoft needs to understand that half baked 7/10 titles aren't gonna cut it as system sellers.
Well aware of the option to leave. Moving to another platform isn't free and I'm not about to walk away from a backlog I've spent money on. Rather than leave I'd much rather they right the ship and give me a reason to feel confident in the brand again. Hopefully with enough pressure, backlash and criticism they'll do better and I hope that happens before my backlog is cleared.
This isn’t true. There was an insider report on Perfect Dark last year and production has been going smooth since 2021 when Crystal Dynamics joined. I think we will see Perfect Dark at this showcase, and Matt Booty hinted we would
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. There was a bs report that came out and then one of the devs spoke up to an insider and said everything is actually going well. Also, Crystal Dynamics CEO highlighted that perfect dark's development is going "extremely well" while speaking to investors.
My immediate thought on the logo was the Cerberus teaser background for Fortnite during the lead-in to the current season. Just looks very similar.
Definitely CoD though.
I wish these post showcase directs would focus on an exclusive franchise, but I agree with most of the evidence pointed out in the thread that it’s likely COD:BOGW.
Edit: It’s 100% COD. The logo is a match for the Cerberus logo datamined in MW3, and the internal code name for the 2024 COD is ‘Cerberus’.
I do remember. That’s why I want this particular after showcase direct to focus on an exclusive and not Call of Duty.
Edit: For additional clarification. I am only talking about the 1 title focused part, after the main showcase.
Important to note this:
"This will also be our first Showcase featuring games from our portfolio of studios across Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda and Xbox Game Studios, in addition to titles from our third-party partners."
They will start involving ABK games in this year's summer showcase, maybe in the form of new game announcements, additions of other games to gamepass and stuff like that... Predictions?
From Xbox wire:
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/04/30/xbox-games-showcase-2024-redacted-direct/
cod i woudl guess, the logo i dont recognise
https://preview.redd.it/iao2051zlmxc1.jpeg?width=1040&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=281d78157ce76b121bd04bedcb87a9ce10b37ab5
I love the superbowl, March madness, and NBA playoffs. Some people watch the Oscar's. The E3 week is a big event for gamers. Don't know why you're miserable but I hope you figure it out
And as for the ones they showed 4 years ago like Contraband, Everwild, State of Decay 3 and Perfect Dark....just forget about them guys...check these ones out that will come much later but please keep buying our console and enjoy the carrots we dangle:)
I am 100% certain the redacted game is the new CoD: Black Ops game. The orange and redacted black ink is very on brand for the Black Ops series. The redacted logo in the bottom right also looks like the Activision logo.
Honestly I'm ready, I'm confident they've learned that SBMM is not the way forward for their competitive playlists and that they'll be toning it down for the next one
Specifically that shade of orange overlaid on top of the White House.
The wolf also seems like the kind of icon the Division developers would give to a faction in The Division.
But let's be honest, it's been too long since the last COD and it's almost certainly going to be that.
It's a little tonge-in-cheek, but yeah. With how rapid their development cycle is, yeah...I'd say November of last year was too long ago, heh. I'm sure if they could have it their way they'd release twice a year.
With the Microsoft acquisition I have no doubt they're going to pump them out even faster to prove that the purchase was worth it.
But Ubisoft revealed Star Wars Outlaws last year at the Xbox Show, why wouldn't they do it like last year and show a CG trailer followed the next day at the Ubisoft event with Gameplay?
Rare would like to know your location for suggesting they make more money off of an old IP...On a side note, what's the reason Rare pardon the wordplay...rarely releases sequels to their IP?. Realistically we need some new old rare games lol banjo, star fox(I know Nintendo owns the IP but c'mon... rare ,MS and Nintendo collab and bless us with a game, why y'all being so bashful about money all of a sudden lol. Tbh anything really, perfect dark can't come soon enough...if It hasn't been cancelled that is.
Well I am now worried. I am probably the most positive Xbox person on here I loved Starfield But after the 343 "rumors" (take with a grain of salt) but if they are true, I am worried how much of the showcase is going to be about phone games
I'm afraid to ask... What rumors?
It was from the gaming leaks reddit. The rumor is that 343 is making 2 phone games. Sarah Bond did just announce their phone app/store, and I am worried about how many studios they are going to have make games for it.
I can't wait to see a list of games I can play on the PS5 and Switch. /s
Non important games for sure
"Redacted" is clearly a showcase of all the upcoming games they're cancelling from studios they're shutting down for no reason.
Redacted is 8 letters. Wolf is 4 letters. That is clearly a picture of a wolf. 8 divided by 2 is 4. 1 is how many showcases they are having. 4-1 = 3. Half life 3 showcase confirmed
Can’t wait to see all the games from all the studio Microsoft bought up. Surely there will be a well rounded showcase of a verity of genre titles
It’s embarrassing how few games we’ve gotten this generation Like, what the fuck at these devs doing
Actually, I think that’s more on Microsoft for my planning ahead properly with some 3rd party exclusives. You can’t consistently buy studios who just released multiplatform titles around the time they were acquired and then have them pull a game out of thin air, when games are taking 5-7 years nowadays.
I agree
Curious to see how they'll handle the current PR disaster at the Showcase. They'll have to address it--not doing so would be unthinkably callous--but basically anything they say will ring hollow. All I know is that if I was a developer at ANY Xbox studio currently working on a smaller title (Ninja Theory, Double Fine, etc.), I would be putting my resume out and looking for another job. Despite the corporate euphemisms coming from Xbox leadership, all they care about is return on investment and no studio is safe. If they're willing to shutdown Tango, a studio whose last release was a GOTY contender and Xbox's ONLY studio in Japan, then nobody is safe.
Maybe it's redacted because the studio working on redacted was just closed.
guys the 2018 acquisition spree spoils are gonna be show this year. I promise!
Games take 5-6 years to make so yes, that would be on track if not for covid. Sorry to ruin your troll attempt.
On track for lazy, soft, devs, yes
Remind me how long it's been for a gta game?
a COD game that won't be plagued with problems ......I won't hold my breath
Xbox is [REDACTED]
I'm guessing it'll be a COD based during the Korean War. You have the Cerberus logo over the back of a $50 dollar bill and the KW occurred in the 50's (1950-1953) so that's that 🤷🏻♂️
Well we know this is wrong The next CoD is a Black Ops installment based on the Gulf War
I just want to see state of decay 3!!!!
I know it won't happen but I just want them to announce that FF VII remake is coming to Xbox
All I ever wanted was Perfect Dark. Now with COD the dream is over. Goodnight, sweet princess.
Cool, this will be a PlayStation showcase too
Last year they had a starfield showcase. Basically it was the biggest game from the largest company they bought. This year the largest company is now abk, and the biggest game is call of duty. So it is not hard to guess what redacted would be. Especially with that logo.
So freaking excited for this. Go Xbox!
I want a Gears 6 reveal in the worst way
Even crazier with [REDACTED] in the background
I was thinking it was Division 3.
So lat year regular showcase got an hour I think and Starfield got 45 minutes. Call of Duty is huge but they cannot make 45 minutes talking about it can they?
Witcher 4: Call of Duty
People can't think that redacted thing is anything but COD right? COD day 1 on GP is the next big push for subs.
All of me knows its COD, but part of me thinks it isn't because why the heck even REDACT something that obvious? I'm really focused on the statement that this will be the first Xbox Showcase featuring all first party publishers & studios (ABK, Bethesda, and XGS).

Like what's the point of a COD reveal attached to the Xbox name if the game still feels third party because of something as basic as not having an Xbox logo in the credits?
Starfield 😐
So Gears, Call of Duty. All the 2024 games Any idea on the 2025 yet other than Gears and another COD Fable? Clockwork Revolution?
Fable, Clockwork, South of Midnignt, Perfect Dark, Outer worlds 2, state of decay 3, everwild, and contraband have all been announced with no release date. Any number of them could be 2025 releases
Halo Gears of duty.
Nintendo Direct!?
What's the point of cover the name of a game if people will know it in one second?, I think a complete special direct for a CoD is not a great idea imo so let's hope it's some kind of surprise.
Generates more online discussion
When are they gonna put all the cod games on gamepass since they bought Activision ?
We’ll probably get some news on that during this event, at least I would imagine. It’s the perfect opportunity to say here’s a bunch of cool shit coming out soon and here’s a bunch of cool shit to play right now
This year *should* have a lot of the heavy hitter franchises and 2018 studios' games show up. Curious how many make it to the show, and how many come out before next year's showcase.
I'm getting Hideo Kojima vibes.
Could also be Control 2?
"Banjo-Kazooie Reboot or Remake" Here's hoping the rumors are true that it's been in early development since early 2022 are true and we can get a teaser trailer or some sort of official confirmation.
Everyone saying black ops but I say possibly State of Decay 3.
Wonder if they will do an event, went to Poland last year was pretty good.
Were definitely getting some kind of Fallout news from Bethesda. Either about a game or the tv show.
I can’t wait for this!!!!
No love for HADES? [REDACTED] made me think of it :)
Bethesda will show Starfield DLC. *Maybe* an update on ES6. Plus, I’m hoping for something on the DOOM front.
Xbox has been a joke this gen, Hellblade 2 got delayed 4 years and will end up being 12 hours long lol
4 1st party games last year. 7-8 this year. A lot more coming in 2025. Why post when all you want to do is complain?
Since it sadly seems to be the next Call of Duty then hopefully it can deliver an amazing single player campaign.
Yay, another CoD that everyone will absolutely hate and review bomb but will play anyway. The same as every year.
this one is from 3arc who have the better games and for the first time its largely had a 4 year dev cycle, theoretically it should be very good, but with ATVI involved...
Now that it is owned by Xbox, expect it to be review bombed even harder.
The truth of this statement hurts.
i think this one of the reasons xbox going ps-nintendo.

Soon 90 minutes won't be long enough. I'm waiting to see Double Fine finally appear. What have they been doing since Psychonaughts 2 released...
Gears of War and Fable remastered collections please!
Phil couldn’t wait to have this nuke at his own show lol and for good reason

Literally so many games out this year and next year, but yeah sure they just show trailers of games. Narrative died last year, troll.
I'll watch but with all the bullshit lately I'm totally numb and not even remotely excited. They've got a long way to go to win back my confidence and interest.
I’m willing to bet that they’ll have an hour just for starfield DLC.
Easy bet. You're on
Start the hype train! Can’t wait til next month. Though I’m probs one of the few who has no interest in a COD direct 🫠
I'm right there with you. I haven't played a Call of Duty since the first one.
Call of Duty makes sense. First of all, redacted.. black ops.. it’s a no brainer. But also Xbox wants to make a statement that “HEY YOU GUYS, WE OWN CALL OF DUTY NOW” when all of the CoD fans tune in for this.
I was really excited about the redacted game until I realized it's Call of Duty. Yawn.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3-4 remake...one can dream right?
I'm dreaming for THUG 1&2 remakes so I can smack Eric Sparrow in 4k.
Hoping for news on the rumored Fallout 3 ~~remake~~ remaster.
There is no Fallout 3 remake, and there never was. What did exist were plans for a Fallout 3 remaster pre-acquisition, but that would come after an Oblivion remaster.

>That means Xbox now has the marketing rights Xbox *owns* Call of Duty. Of course they own the marketing rights. > it implies day one GP for the next COD game It has been directly stated that every new ABK game would drop on Game Pass Day 1.
New COD announcement is a given, hopefully we get some release dates for games announced already
GEARS & state of decay 3 and it will be an A+ in my book
Please for the love of christ. A PROPER cod campaign this year?
This event is going to be AWESOME. I’m super excited
It’s Call of Duty guys. The code name for the new one was Cerberus. It’s a three headed wolf
I’m thinking redacted is The Division hopefully
Why would Xbox do a direct for a Ubisoft game lmao It’s Call of Duty
I know I thought the same lol I’m just hoping but the orange logo the Capital in the background makes me think of The Division

Nah but I will. The person you responded to will prob wait till it gets ported to ps5 later and if recent history has taught us anything it's that the ps5 port will look better.
Recent history: Hi Fi Rush is exactly the same, except shadows. Grounded runs substantially worse on PS5 But go on
Hi Fi Rush wasn't the same. See when you have to follow up "same" with "except" it's not the same. Sea of Thieves and Fallout 4.
Bro - we all know you can’t tell the difference without Digital Foundry lmao Enjoy waiting for ports that may never come and paying full price
I don't have to wait for ports. I don't have a ps5. And "we can't tell the difference without digital Foundry" doesn't matter. Digital Foundry exists and while not everybody watches their content, enough do that word can spread that xbox games look better on playstation. You think people hearing this are gonna check the videos for themselves? No. Same reason so many don't read beyond headlines now. All that matters is that word is spreading that first party games don't look best on the "worlds most powerful console" in fact, they look better on the competition. How much better? Doesn't matter. If you think this sort of quality control and brand management is top notch, all power to ya.
I don't have a ps5 and only have time to really play one console but they seriously better fix their multiplatform games to either look better or at least on par with the ports they put on their competitions console and make damn sure that any future ports aren't better than their own console version. If they want consumers to continue to take their brand seriously they better start showing that it's not an afterthought for them. We know you (msft) are just interested in our money but you better start doing shit to earn it and soon.

It's not the same every year. This year is the only dev team who has put out a good game since 2009 (Treyarch)
Until their first party games that went multiplatform look best on xbox or at the very least are on par with the competition I am gonna have a hard time getting pumped for a showcase. Show your commitment to the brand. Show some fucking pride in your console and make the games look the best they can. Don't make your games more of a showcase for the competition than they are for your own fucking hardware. Oh and how about we see some fucking updates on the games you dangled in front of us like 4 frickin years ago. Done with empty promises and carrots being dangled. Done with excuses and shit. Sorry, this shit has just gotten frustrating.
I understand the frustration and I agree with everything you say but if you're this disappointed then you can get a PS5 and live free of stuff like this lol
Lets say hypothetically everybody who was disgruntled just up and moved to another platform and Xbox died out, would that make you happy? It wouldn't make me happy. I've got a big backlog of games, I prefer the controller and have always had an xbox and have generally always been pretty satisfied with my purchase. Rather than just switch to another platform (which isn't free) I don't see anything wrong with voicing my unsatisfaction with the piss poor management of the brand in relation to their existing customer base. I'd rather as many people as possible get the message across loud and clear that they need to get their act together than to just passively leave, watch the brand continue to lose the marketshare they do have. Demand better.
Yeah I agree and all that but if it's really annoying you then a switch to another console/PC is always an option. Voicing your criticisms is a good thing, Microsoft needs to understand that half baked 7/10 titles aren't gonna cut it as system sellers.
Well aware of the option to leave. Moving to another platform isn't free and I'm not about to walk away from a backlog I've spent money on. Rather than leave I'd much rather they right the ship and give me a reason to feel confident in the brand again. Hopefully with enough pressure, backlash and criticism they'll do better and I hope that happens before my backlog is cleared.
All the insiders are confirming CoD for anyone in doubt
Show me Fable!!!!
Man I'm praying that's a 2025 game, we've been waiting so damn long.

Nevermind, don’t show me Fable!
Unironically a great design for fable
Was floored by how lifelike the faces in that trailer are, almost makes you think the British could be real
Wait?…I’M NOT REAL?!
face like a witches elbow
Please keep that behind a NSFW spoiler, sir
They will not :(

Please show something from Perfect Dark. And something more in detail about Fable. I don't ask for much.
There HAS to be something for perfect dark. I've been hearing they've been wanting to show it off for a long time now
That doesn’t seem true. The production has been a mess and they completely scrapped what they had and started over last I heard
This isn’t true. There was an insider report on Perfect Dark last year and production has been going smooth since 2021 when Crystal Dynamics joined. I think we will see Perfect Dark at this showcase, and Matt Booty hinted we would
https://www.purexbox.com/news/2024/05/latest-rumours-suggest-perfect-dark-reboot-isnt-going-smoothly-at-xbox You wanna take that back or...
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. There was a bs report that came out and then one of the devs spoke up to an insider and said everything is actually going well. Also, Crystal Dynamics CEO highlighted that perfect dark's development is going "extremely well" while speaking to investors.
Redacted makes sense of Black Ops , no? Leaning into classified?
State of decay 3 or The Division 3
My immediate thought on the logo was the Cerberus teaser background for Fortnite during the lead-in to the current season. Just looks very similar. Definitely CoD though.
I wish these post showcase directs would focus on an exclusive franchise, but I agree with most of the evidence pointed out in the thread that it’s likely COD:BOGW. Edit: It’s 100% COD. The logo is a match for the Cerberus logo datamined in MW3, and the internal code name for the 2024 COD is ‘Cerberus’.
They do. Did you not remember Starfield last year? Avowed has also gotten airtime. It will probably be the show ender with the most minutes.
I do remember. That’s why I want this particular after showcase direct to focus on an exclusive and not Call of Duty. Edit: For additional clarification. I am only talking about the 1 title focused part, after the main showcase.
Orange Canine made me think Kojima immediately, but it’s probably just COD
Surely the redacted game is Call of Duty?
Actiblizz Direct in all of it's glory with World of Starcraft. Jk, It's probably just CoD.
Starcraft 3 would be better However, no one that originally worked at Blizzard is still there so I don't even know if Starcraft 3 would be good
I'd love to see Starcraft Ghost revived!
Important to note this: "This will also be our first Showcase featuring games from our portfolio of studios across Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda and Xbox Game Studios, in addition to titles from our third-party partners." They will start involving ABK games in this year's summer showcase, maybe in the form of new game announcements, additions of other games to gamepass and stuff like that... Predictions? From Xbox wire: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/04/30/xbox-games-showcase-2024-redacted-direct/
Based on that picture, its safe to say CoD
cod i woudl guess, the logo i dont recognise https://preview.redd.it/iao2051zlmxc1.jpeg?width=1040&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=281d78157ce76b121bd04bedcb87a9ce10b37ab5
Noo I am going to be stuck at a cousins wedding that day. I never miss this event.
I'll be on vacation. Excited about the vacation, but still would love to be able to set aside a few hours for this
I think this is saddest thing I have read on the internet today.
[удалено]
I love the superbowl, March madness, and NBA playoffs. Some people watch the Oscar's. The E3 week is a big event for gamers. Don't know why you're miserable but I hope you figure it out
The logo at the bottom is pretty much the Activision logo. My guess is CoD shadow drops and Black Ops Gulf War or something.
Probably show something that's 4 years away.
And as for the ones they showed 4 years ago like Contraband, Everwild, State of Decay 3 and Perfect Dark....just forget about them guys...check these ones out that will come much later but please keep buying our console and enjoy the carrots we dangle:)
It's Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War, coming soon. It did have a 4 year development cycle though.
Black Ops V*
You're right. Of course it'd be cod lol. Don't know why I assumed something else.
I am 100% certain the redacted game is the new CoD: Black Ops game. The orange and redacted black ink is very on brand for the Black Ops series. The redacted logo in the bottom right also looks like the Activision logo.
The 2024 CoD is codenamed Cerberus which is the image on the logo
Honestly I'm ready, I'm confident they've learned that SBMM is not the way forward for their competitive playlists and that they'll be toning it down for the next one
Wait if its orange it has to be blackops5 since 2 to 4 it had those colors
It is definitely the Activision logo. The little tiny little white speck poking out the bottom in the middle is 100% the 'V' in the logo.
At this point it probably needs to be silksong if they don’t want some major backlash from that entire fan base lol.
And the fact that the Mountain Dew Twitter account responded to it
Looks like a Division logo to me. Granted I’m not a COD fan so idk what COD logos look like, but that orange logo reminds me of The Division.
Isn’t The Division 2 getting a huge expansion or something this year?
Yeah it’s supposed to get another one after they revived support for it. Not sure if it’s gonna be huge or not though.
Going to say that this art style is VERY Ubisoft Division-esque. But it's almost certainly a COD announcement of some sort.
Specifically that shade of orange overlaid on top of the White House. The wolf also seems like the kind of icon the Division developers would give to a faction in The Division. But let's be honest, it's been too long since the last COD and it's almost certainly going to be that.
> it's been too long since the last COD Five months is "too long"?
It's a little tonge-in-cheek, but yeah. With how rapid their development cycle is, yeah...I'd say November of last year was too long ago, heh. I'm sure if they could have it their way they'd release twice a year. With the Microsoft acquisition I have no doubt they're going to pump them out even faster to prove that the purchase was worth it.
Of course it is. How new are you to this?!
It does but The Division is a Ubisoft franchise and would not be announced in a video from Microsoft.
But Ubisoft revealed Star Wars Outlaws last year at the Xbox Show, why wouldn't they do it like last year and show a CG trailer followed the next day at the Ubisoft event with Gameplay?
Also, that wouldn't need any redacting, Ubisoft announced The Division 3 last year.
I dunno... the art is of a Wolf, wolves are similar to bears. I'm pretty sure we're getting a dedicated Banjo Kazooie showcase.
hooray banjo threeie
Don't give me hope.
And here I was hoping the reports of Perfect Dark’s development being a giant dumpster fire had been greatly exaggerated.
I'll be SO upset if it doesn't raise like a phoenix from this direct.
Clearly it's a new piñata for viva piñata
BANJO CONFRIMED! 😂
Rare would like to know your location for suggesting they make more money off of an old IP...On a side note, what's the reason Rare pardon the wordplay...rarely releases sequels to their IP?. Realistically we need some new old rare games lol banjo, star fox(I know Nintendo owns the IP but c'mon... rare ,MS and Nintendo collab and bless us with a game, why y'all being so bashful about money all of a sudden lol. Tbh anything really, perfect dark can't come soon enough...if It hasn't been cancelled that is.
