The upcoming Xbox Games Showcase should be full of exciting announcements. Here is what John Hansen from GameSandwich thinks we will see.
There are a number of issues that arise whenever games decide to announce early so let's go over some of them to find out why this is a bad practice.
To be honest I'd rather know stuff is in the works but other ppl throw fits over it so it's whatever
I'd rather they announce a game when it's like 3 months away. Quick little advertising campaign, round of interviews, gameplay deep dive, and a launch trailer. That's all you need. Cheaper marketing rather than wasting resources trying to maintain hype over like 4 years.
Looking forward to hearing the full score as the artists involved sound amazing. Today, Ubisoft announced the composers involved in the making of Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ original soundtrack. Four exclusive tracks will be made available on Friday 14th.
Search and Destroy remains one of the most popular game modes in CoD, but Black Ops 6 players want more variety.
Percentages time
Gears 6: 95% very high chance it'll get announced. It'll be in engine trailer but no deep gameplay.
State Of Decay 3: 60% fair chance development was said to be rough development but now is going very smooth recently according to Jez Cordin. It's a fairly good chance they could show it off but don't be surprised if it no shows... Again...
Blade: 20% very small chance. It's still a few years away and they probably don't want to show it off this early.
Fable: 80% High chance. I believe we'll see another trailer from Fable with a 2025 release.
Perfect Dark: 80% High Chance: apparently they wanted to be shown off last year but Matt Booty blocked them. Development was going badly for a while but according to New report it's smoother now. Yeah high chance and it's time to show something.
Avowed 100% chance guaranteed. Gameplay released date and all.
Indiana Jones 100% chance guaranteed. New trailer gameplay and release date.
Stalker 2 100% chance guaranteed. New trailer Day one on gamepass.
Contraband: 70% good chance. The game is said to be up and running with lots of play tests. Confident they'll show gameplay. If not it's vaporware 1000%
South Of Midnight: 80% High chance. There was a rumor it was releasing this year I'm actually expecting gameplay actually.
Clockwork Revolution: 50%. Maybe if it's a 2025 release then yeah they'll show off a new trailer. If not then it's a no show this time.
ABK gamepass stuff:100% New cod of course. Retro games crossing my fingers for remastered Tenchu games but I highly doubt it. One can hope I guess. These aren't all the games I missed some but wanted to hit the main stuff everyone's been waiting on.
Remember, every screen is a XBOX. Every console too...
MS is in a tight spot with all the bad games lately, they need a major win here. I'm a Sony fanboy my entire life but I did get an Xbox One just to play the Gears and Halo games and ended up loving those. I don't care if Xbox goes away but I do care about those IPs and I really don't want Sony to get uppity and start dipping in quality and become profit first over the gamers, if they end up becoming a monopoly.
