I am excited just to get some new information on next Gen games/hardware. We have all been waiting years for this next gen so let the flood gates open. Once MS is done maybe Sony will show some 3rd party games in the coming weeks at a event!

Why dont they just say 'Series X enhanced'?, that sounds dumb. Its also pretty much confirming that everything shown will be cross gen.
Anyway what time is this on UK time guys?

I posted this at the other place and worth posting here too.....Before you go to bed, don't fall asleep thinking that this show is going to be ground breaking and that earth shattering announcements and that they will show the most amazing gaming visuals of all time. Temper expectations because when you "over-hype" something, even if the show is good, some will feel that it was not good because they over hyped them. I personally was going to switch my work schedule to catch this, but decided to just go to work and watch it when I get home. I am not going expecting anything major at all. If the show is great and they show amazing things then that will be great, if they don't it won't be a big deal for me because I am not thinking much or expecting much.
....

Screw that.

GET

HYPE!

I already know what will happen. They will show a bunch of cross gen games, that dont look THAT impressive. We will get tons of 'lolz Xbox' posts and memes, even though every game shown will also be on PS5.
Then a month from now, Sony will show a load of amazing looking first party games, setting off all the 'Teraflops lol, SSD for the win', 'The devs were right, PS5 really is more powerful' type posts.
Its just like E3 2005 all over again, where Microsoft showed a lot of real time games and demo's, which didnt look amazing, while Sony showed off all the Motorstorm and Killzone fake shit, and we ended up with the 'Xbox 1.5' memes.:messenger_sleeping:
 
I got this feeling that this show will be a disappointment to many and will start a huge negative first impression of nextgen that will be hard to recover from.

I think all publishers should be aware just how fucking tired people are of this drip feed marketing campaign from every side. Its going to bite them in the ass.

Whoa. I think you're jumping to too many conclusions. Lets just ride it out. Also, they probably have something planned for June as well. Actually we know for a fact they do.

Still want a Motorstorm game that looks like that. Looked kick ass.

And



So the optimized for series x doesn't mean it's a patch. That wouldn't get full hardware access. It means the game was recompiled with the series x SDK for full CPU, GPU, SSD etc goodness.

I don't know why anyone would expect anything less. It's good to get a confirmation though.

Optimized sounds really bad, feels like games made for XBOX One enhanced for Series X
I mean crossgen games usually don't take advantage of the full capability of the new consoles. So I think it works either way.

It tells people it will work with the capabilities of the console in mind and I think that's all that matters. They know they're not just getting the XB1 version.

Just got my Pot Noodle at the ready.

And hopefully Digital Foundry will be dropping some videos in the coming days, maybe even today after the event. Super hyped for this.

I don't expect much since it will be cross-gen games but if they demonstrate them well, highlighting and showing differences besides resolution and framerate, like better LoD, less pop-in etc. then I will be glad, though I think it will be only about praising how much better it is, bigger resolution and framerate and they will call it a day.

I just want to see what these next gen consoles can do. I'm not expecting some megaton announcement and am keeping my expectations in check.

Just about 5 hours 45 minutes to go. I haven't played AC since 2008, so all my hope is going on Valhalla.

Guarantee I'll be rewatching videos many times over the next few days and pray for Digital Foundry to drop some knowledge.

Interesting to see if there will be any next gen only stuff. If cross gen only then meh

that would be disappointing. Was really looking forward to seeing 5-7 min of straight-up gameplay...
no one said gameplay demo, just gameplay, thats means it can be gameplay trailers only too

Assassins creed is honestly my least excited game, way too saturated for me even tho I LOVE parkour and freerunning.
Excited to see other stuff, Bring Burnout Back, I want some sweet realtime body deformation smooth like butter

I’m trying to get hyped but I just can’t honestly. Do I want to see Xbox doing better? Definitely for a better competition. Ever since I switched to PC its like “eh, I’ll get the consoles just for when I have company”

Hopefully todays showcase actually shows the power of the console. Not expecting any developer to hit full speed any time soon. But yeah, you get the point.
