I'm looking forward to the Xbox one, everything else will get a swerve

LivDiv

The Opening Showcase will be worth a watch I think.

Im in on that for MK1 Gameplay anyway but I think there will be more from big hitters across platforms.

EvilRedEye

I thought Square Enix usually did a yearly presentation? Perhaps they don’t want to distract from the launch of Final Fantasy XVI.

Cant see anything.
Ive just added the FF16 pre-release show and a few other shows.
If there is anythign I am missing let me know.

I dont even know what half of this shit is mind.

LivDiv

Oh, RGG is Yakuza.

I'll watch the Xbox and PC shows, and probably the opener.

The others, I'll just pick up on the trailers after.

b0r1s

I really can't see the need to see anything else FFVI related, it's bloody ridiculous.

Its all they've got.
That and Spunktoon.

Hopefully Devolver just show an assortment of banging game trailers. I get the impression that they enjoy smelling their own farts too much for that though. I think I'd prefer the Robocop Chainsaw shtick to 'data suggests we need fluffy bunnies until Robocop Chainsaw breaks through the wall!", but I'll take whatever tbh. As long as they give me Gunbrella and Pepper Grinder.

Let's be honest though, everyone enjoys the smell of their own brand

LivDiv

Right lets get into wants 'n' hype 'n' hopes...

Hype (already announced to be shown stuff)
Mortal Kombat 1
Starfield

Wants (existing games not yet confirmed to be shown)
Toxic Crusaders

Hopes (not announced, might not even exist)
Soul Calibur 7 (unlikely with Tekken being in the early Hype stages)
Primal Rage (unlikely with MK being shown but even a retro release would be cool)
Literally any belt scrollers, collections, remasters sequels, anything.
A new Christian Whitehead led 2D Sonic.
That Jet Set Radio potential game from the Sega investor thing.
LizardCube's next project (SoR4 devs)

Moot_Geeza

Toxic Crusaders is coming Liv, you seen that one? There's a nu retro Double Dragon on the way too.

Wookienopants

Oh yea, good shout on the JSR alike Bombfunk Rush.

Can't wait for that.
Just keen to see some awesome announcements followed by "ON GAMEPASS TODAY!!"

EvilRedEye

New 2D Sonic would be ace.

A Hi-Fi Rush style shadow drop would also be ace (you’d imagine at a bare minimum they’d shadow drop an indie game or two).

Yeah, its in the want to see category. I think it will probably pop up somewhere this month.

Never been mad on Double Dragon but I would give it a go. Always felt a bit basic but if they can elevate it close to SoR4 could be good.

Div is talking about the JSR "remake" leak that came about from a apparent investor presentation or dev demo reel or something. Looks good if a lil chunky.

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk isn't confirmed for any other console bar Switch, but that may (hopefully) change!

LivDiv

Rout 96:Mile 0 would be a welcome subscription service drop.
Came out in April, I enjoyed the first one but didnt even know Mile 0 was out until I looked up what the devs were up to just now. Probably not gonna happen in a big reveal showcase mind unless they drop a whole bumper pack of stuffs.

LizardCube's track record is Wonderboy: The Dragon's Trap [10] and Streets of Rage 4 [10].

No pressure guys.

Played some Bomb Rush at GDC - movement feels fine but I have some strong worries about level design. I think it might actually be a duffer. Hope I’m wrong.

Eek! Fingers still crossed.

Devolver is usually a banger, love what they put together and how they do it.

I also like the Wholesome Games one, although I might just read the highlights.

Xbox one is going full Nintendo January 2013 "games are coming, honest" via Aaron Greenberg so keen to know what's on the horizon given my free gamepass ends next month.

I need to know what's at that Ubisoft conference given their pre materials which included Mr caffeine.

RGG has me sitting up in my chair because they've rocketed a bunch of Yak stuff already and if they are feeling bold as Fuck to do a showcase I'm ready to be Yak'd out my nut.

Raiziel

If I get gameplay from Starfield, Fable and Avowed it’ll be the best not-E3 for me in quite a few years.

Matt_82

I will watch the Xbox thing. For the rest, I'll just watch whatever takes my fancy on YouTube. These shows have trailers online within minutes so it's easy to avoid the jibber jabber and still see what's what.

I'd kill for Perfect Dark and Fable

regmcfly

Feels like a bit of a work there raiz, what do you think Starfield direct will be

Howdy, Stranger!
