Xbox Bethesda Showcase 2024 Live Thread

I got called away for a bit.

Wuchang almost feels like "We have Bloodborne at home"

I got called away for a bit.

I noticed. You missed me trash talking a lot of games.

[Legend]

And the biggest loser of the show is...

Dragon Age!

Only 864 likes at the moment, the lowest of all the videos. No love for the "fortnite" look.

Gears is the big winner. 14k likes, nostalgia works.



Doom is also doing pretty great, as is Perfect Dark and Fable.

State of Decay 3, Expedition 33, and Jones are all doing fine.

South of Midnight is surprisingly meh. Fewer likes than almost every other video despite having comparable views. Avowed also isn't doing that great but we've seen a lot of that game before so it might be apathy towards the trailer and not towards the game. Wuchang also has a low like count compared to everything else.

edt: does this still work?

Please update your browser.

edt2: seems one reason for the south of midnight dislike is the stop motion animation.

lol white series x is a $50 price increase despite losing the disc drive.

It's $50 cheaper though?
Series X is $499, without drive it's $449

$399 is what I saw but I guess this is a temporary sale https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft-xbox-series-x-1tb-console-black/6428324.p?skuId=6428324

doom confirmed day-1 on PlayStation.   I'm happy for that.

in that link doom looks exclusive but elsewhere it was confirmed mp.  

not actively looking right now but I didn't notice any other confirmations.   kind of surprised by doom tbh.  I figured it would be upfront in the reveal trailer or else they'd wait a few days to make people think it's exclusive to Xbox.   

we'll find out eventually.   I would expect most of them to at least be timed exclusive to Xbox.

not surprising but I see expedition 33 confirmed now too

[the-pi-guy]

Edt: lots of videos, put in spoiler tags so you don't have to load them on a page refresh.

"All videos" and you still missed Expedition 33

Copy and paste is hard!

"All videos" and you still missed Expedition 33

Also it's pretty funny that Expedition 33 isn't even the game's name. "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" is a really bad name since everyone seems to think it's just Expedition 33.

so i count 30 things discussed at MS's showcase (excluding hardware).   17 of them i can find confirmation of them being on ps5.   so 56.6%.  

it's mostly what you'd expect.   3rd party.   expansion to 1st party games already on ps.   CoD.  Doom.  

I wonder how many of those 13 titles that are exclusive to xbox as far as we know right now will come to ps5.  i was surprised that winter burrow of all games is apparently exclusive.   also stalker considering the rest of the franchise is on ps.  

not holding my breath for it but i do hope for fable.

Winter Burrow's inclusion was a bit odd. It's a nice looking simple indie game but it was the only small/indie game in the entire show. Kinda weird that they couldn't fit any more yet still found time for it, but I guess an exclusivity deal could be the reason.
