Xbox Developer Direct: How, where, and when to watch

Hope there is a surprise game drop like with Hi-Fi Rush last year

Me too but it's unlikely, shadow dropping is apparently a difficult feat, and it'll be leaked before the event no doubt if there is anything in the pipeline

mcfcbrad9320 said:"Hi-Fi Rush" basically managed to avoid that (it did get leaked but only a day prior with minor details and basically no one noticed); you never know.

Also this being at 7 AM makes me actually kinda interested to check the stream out while I’m playing "Assault Android Cactus", hopefully that’ll help a bit with the (enjoyable) tedium.

I’ll just wait til later in the day and look at the articles here. Nothing I’m absolutely invested in that I’ll watch it for.

I really hope they showcase some studios made up of industry vets who didn't stick around to watch their companies be gutted by ESG to placate the illusive modern audience. A lot of them are working on some really cool games (shoutout to Ghost Story Games with Ken Levine) and don't get the attention they deserve because Microsoft is too busy focusing on which AAA half finished bullshit they're gonna overhype and dump out next or delay.

I will wait for TLDW on youtube. Not the most convenient time tbh.

I. Will watch, but have very little to no interest in any of the games mentioned so far, so will be hopefully that the possible shadow drop or unnamed stuff is something I'm interested in.
Halo 3 remastered being shadow dropped as an update to mcc could be cool.
A update on fable would be lovely, but dev on that is not going well from accounts
A remastered collection of all 6 gears games would be nice.

33 Inmortals shadow drop

I hope that the big studios that belong to Microsoft will announce that after how their last big games were not as good as expected, they worked on small to medium but fun games and they will release them on GamePass.

Like Ubisoft released Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and it appears to be a very good game. I think that focusing on making a game and not an open world / 100 hours story / service game really help to do this. And it helps to not put too much pressure on the developers.

Hoping for a successful show.

Where is State of Decay 3?

cant wait

Nice

Elder Scrolls Online 2024? Is this an expansion or new MMO release?

JAQS TIS ROCKER said:The yearly expansion.

MisterPillay said:Reports are Microsoft is unhappy with Hi-Fi Rush's shadow drop because it didn't let them build up the game (this is something indie developers who were shadow dropping during Nintendo Directs, a fairly common occurrence for a while, had also been noting from their own experiences). So I wouldn't expect any sort of shadow drop; perhaps a new game announcement with a month or two run-up to release in order to get the marketing cycle going.
