No Avowed.

That bitter disappointment aside, my highlights were High On Life, Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels, Pentiment, Persona 3-5, Diablo 4 Necromancer, and Starfield.

Yeah but aren't you excited to explore the lifeless 1000 worlds of starfield?

They rebooted development on that, so don't expect anything anytime soon. Maybe some teaser in the second xbox showcase.

Darkstar One meets Precursors looks like a massive timesink.

Diablo4 in 2023. We'll see what's it like... at least it looks pretty, so it'll probably be worth it to playthrough the story once.

If anyone is interested in following the Summer Game Fest formally known as E3, you can find the schedules and trailer links collected here. https://2022.e3recap.com/

High on Life, Pentiment, and Starfield look like pretty easy purchases for my money.

You are aware that the game changed creative directors. But to answer your question there is a deleted tweet from some dev.

😬 No, I wasn't. I will try not to go into panic mode now.

This was a very recent reveal from some insider. Something to do with losing directors back to back and also their lead narrator. And since the showcase emphasized these are the games to be released in the next 12 months, that means Avowed release is now second half of 2023 at the earliest and more likely 2024.

You play Diablo for the story?

I was pretty happy with what I saw on Starfield. I especially love all the customization, including for the ship, and base-building, and crafting ... all good. And I'm very happy we will get third-person gameplay option. That's huge for me, and I hope someone at Obsidian is paying attention to this too. And I have not got any sense from the game thus far that the 1000+ planets we can explore will be "empty."

Though, they did also say you couldn't buy items in immortal, so... (Which is technically true, just very misleading).

Even a large studio like Bethesda obviously can't custom craft 1000+ planets, there's not enough manpower and hours in the world for that. Presumably, there will be a heavy dose of procedural generation.

This looks like it could be a quality mind****.

They have a second showcase on Tuesday. I'm sure it's going to be there.

Looks like a less wonky Star Citizen to me.

Not sure I'd that was responding to me, but I will just assume it was.  I'm not big on Bethesda game design, and I felt skyrim and fallout 4 were pretty empty and lifeless.  Now stretch that game design  to 1000 worlds, instead of one continent or city.  I can't imagine it won't be empty and lifeless.

 

Todd basically said "the story we made doesn't matter as much as the story you make"  which tells me, "our writing will be lazy, just use your imagintion"

Who expects anything else from Bethsoft?

I can't speak for @MrBrown, but in my case I tend to play until the end of the story. I don't bother with the endgame stuff in these types of games and MMOs because it generally comes down to grind the same content over and over and over and over and over and... Or fork oversome $$$ to get that purple set of SUPER LEGENDARY ARMOR OF AWESOMENESS.

OH GOD! I FORGOT ABOUT KOMBI. And just like that I know the developer is Polish

Klei's new game. I used to adore these guys, but I just didn't connect with their last two releases (ONI and Griflands). At least they don't repeat themselves much.. which is a shame, I would love Invisible Inc.2.

Overwatch going free-to-play only worries me of how much they will milk this patch/sequel.

Well, Diablo Immortal should give a hint
