Official 2021 E3 Schedule/Discussion

square enix 4 out of 10 slightly better than xbox but not to good. Only like 45 minutes long and like 20 spent on Guardians and no update on forspoken and no TR news.

The main theme of Xbox's conference was to show the value of Gamepass. Which it did. To get those games day one at no added cost, is a big seller. If I was on Xbox, I would get GamePass. I would love Sony to do a PS Plus/PSNow bundle. Most of the Xbox games weren't for me, but it is still a great value. Never played Far Cry and don't know the art style, but it looks like a last gen game(PS4/XB1) that received a "next gen patch". I did think we would see a few more non-exclusive 3rd party games. But the focus was obviously Gamepass.

Something we have to take into consideration with E3/Summer of Gaming, is the impact of pandemic. Over the past 15 months, game development has took a hit. So anything that wasn't close to being finished, got pushed back. I wouldn't expect a normal flow until late 2022 and on

Starfield reveal date and game play - I'm sure we'll see more game play before then but I'm mostly in so far. It looked stunning but I want to see more damnit!

Announced date for Console release of Flight Simulator - July 27th!

New next - generation IPs - Saw more than a few that looked good. Console maybe a must buy for next holiday season if not sooner

Very pleased with their show




As for 2K announcing NHL hockey returning ??????

I'll keep dreaming..............................

"Microsoft announced Xbox Games Showcase: Extended, a presentation that will take place on Thursday, June 17 featuring conversations with Double Fine, Obsidian, Ninja Theory, Rare, and more. https://t.co/KDYhvwYAm9 https://t.co/Em3Dt88xwN "

I did figure Microsoft would have another showcase this summer. I just thought it would be a little further down the road. But will tune in

I do wonder what 2k will show tomorrow. Take Two's presser is slotted for 55 minutes tomorrow. So, I do wonder how much of 2k Sports we'll see. I don't expect PGA. NBA2K will be very minimal outside of Cover and release window. Definitely will see WWE. I don't expect the NFL game.

I was pretty disappointed by the Starfield trailer. I thought it was awful. The first 30 seconds of 2:18 trailer didn't even show anything. Hope we get something better soon.

I'm just not interested in anything that's pre-rendered. Nice to have a target date, but will care more about Starfield when it gets closer.

The nice thing about Game Pass is I don't have to worry or get hyped about games, I just get to enjoy them whenever they release. Good or bad I'm not out the money.

Holy hell, MS Flight Sim.

And free with gamepass. And also closer to coming out than I thought. I have it on PC, but don't have the graphics card to push it to 4K and get a good frame rate.

I wonder if they will sell DLC packs for airports and terrain, or will everything be in the game day one?
