Hype level over 9000
Yeah. But those were not leaked by "insider" but by dumb social media manager of Atlus who published trailers early...
Also. Avowed being there is hardly a surprise. And Fable is already announced game. In both cases it will be more about "how they look" or "when they will release."

Where is the surprise.
The fact that the event hasn't been leaked outside of persona is huge.
Pity you didn't take your own 'expectations' advice, eh?
At this point, it's all but confirmed we're going to see at least 5 AAA first party games Hellblade 2, Avowed, Fable, Starfield, Forza. Likely more, since we're long overdue input from studios like inxile, Coalition and Machine games.
I personally think it's going to be a solid show. Especially since I'm not focused solely on first party stuff and will be happy to see what else is coming to Gamepass. Feel free to remain despondent. Cheers!

I'm more hopeful Starfield releasing to great reviews is the kickoff. Xbox has had good showcases, but then it just seems the games never come, are canceled or disappoint.
If Starfield, Fable, Avowed and Hellblade finally release within the next year to great reviews, it might finally turn around.

Forza Tech for Fable and the engine for Avowed?

Avowed will be better than Starfield in every metric besides size.

UE5.
So expect some high quality graphics.

Just games aren't enough it's how they're presented. The 2020 event had Fable, SOD3 and Avowed reveals but people still thought it was bad.

Maybe. Obsidian seems to do Bethesda-style games better than Bethesda.

Considering outer world story, I am not optimistic about the story of that game.
Starfield on other hand has the world to explore with a garbage story line and okish combat.
Exploration ✓
The rest???

I would expect the story and writing in Avowed to be akin to the Pillars Of Eternity games. Seeing as how Avowed takes place in that already established universe.
Avowed is UE

Excited to see real-time footage of their big in-house titles, especially now that Sony has decided not to, possibly for the remainder of the year. We should have a definitive idea on what to expect visually for the rest of the generation. Also, there are two/three games that sound intriguing to me, and could hit really hard, if well executed.

The Pillarsverse is interesting. I have both games. I'm interested what they're going to do with the lore in this one.Is anyone else excited about Avowed? I think it's gonna be great !

The concept trailer looked like the next-gen Skyrim we won't get for a while cause Bethesda is busy with Starfield.

Yea out of all these leaks the only "new" game announcement would be P3 Remake. I'm sure they'll have other stuff (including some decent Game Pass announcements), but Fable, Forza, Avowed, etc will need to have substantial gameplay to get people excited. These games aren't surprises, and being surprised is the best part of these showcases.

There should be gameplay. Obsidian are talented people so you should not be worried.

C'mon Microsoft, make me buy something else than a switch
But this time they won't be presented as CG so it is an instant upgrade.
Only things that can screw this up is if games looks like shit (big doubt) or if there are no new release windows outside Forza Motorsport (which already leaked).

It's made by Obsidian who know how to write good stories(Fallout New Vegas, Pillars Of Eternity, KOTR 2, etc) and make good games. It will be using UE5 so we expect raytraced lighting(Lumen) and mesh shaders(Nanite) which are the two things that made The Matrix demo look as good as it did.

A new big budget RPG from Obsidian. How can you not be excited if you're an RPG fan?

when I called him out on Guerilla Games example, he didn't even bother acknowledging and then started moving goal posts. The plastic box console warrior trolls are out of the woodworks today and tomorrow so get ready.

Fable 1 sold 3 million copies on OG Xbox alone. Fable 2 around 5 million on 360.
3.5 million copies of Uncharted 2 sold on PS3
a console that had way more success than the og Xbox, and about the same level of success as the 360

AAA open world RPG set in the Pillars of Eternity universe, made by Obsidian... that's why it's a big deal for many

Also one of the rare few big scope RPG's that are in development with UE5 right now. Let's see if they're using Nanite and Lumen or not.

Do you really think that this comparison is reasonable? lolFable 1 sold 3 million copies on OG Xbox alone. Fable 2 around 5 million on 360.
3.5 million copies of Uncharted 2 sold on PS3
I don't need to say what Uncharted (franchise) have sold, right? But that's not even the point, Fable, as a IP, is completly irrelevant today. No one except the Xbox cult remember that thing exist (and to be clear, it's not so different with Uncharted).

You're crazy, plenty of people remember Fable and that doesn't make them "cultists". Uncharted just had a movie too. You are speaking from feelings and not logic.

If Fable is so relevant, so why Microsoft shut down Lionhead? Why they have wait all this time to do another game? lol
From the synopsis for the last Grinch movie.
“The Grinch grows increasingly annoyed with the ever-growing festive cheer that engulfs the village of Whoville. So, he teams up with his dog to ruin the festive spirit by being a spoilsport.”
Sound familiar?
Sorry bro. We’re still hyped.

Well for heaven’s sake, I would hope so. They both were announced three years ago, and in development for awhile before that. Are they real games or not? I’m tired of hearing “maybe next year”.

Agreed.
Throw in a dose of some.others (Gears collection, new Compulsion and InExole IPs) as well.as some solid GamePass Day Ones announcements. We already know the Persona games are going DaybOne as is Lies of P and Flintlock - both look great. I'm hoping Cyberpunk and Witchfire added to GamePass.

Good developer and at least for me the other reason is because it's part of the Pillars of Eternity universe so it's essentially the third game in that series. That means that the lore will be cool.
