Yep, since E3 DIED.

The last couple years they’ve had an event that was “e3” adjacent. Same week but down the block. Then since Covid everyone adopted the approach Nintendo had been doing for a couple years and moved to streaming events. Nintendo only had the Treehouse at e3 a couple years before Covid iirc.

After that disappointing Sony Conference, Xbox has a chance to gather some major momentum behind their platform. Knowing them though they're gonna drop the ball somehow.

I would love to see a new Banjo Kazooie game but that’s probably out of the question.

I don't expect to see Perfect Dark but we will see a bunch of cgi trailers. I just hope it's not mostly Starfield and Forza (as much as I want to see them we don't need to see a ton more).

Kind of hoping since Sony showed the MGS stuff, maybe Xbox will get to show the (still just a rumor) Castlevania stuff, and hopefully it is not a remake of Rondo of Blood or Symphony of the Night. I hope there is something unexpected like Atlus/Vanillaware remastering their catalog, JSRF remaster or sequel, a new Ninja Gaiden, or the rumor that just won't die, Scalebound! I'm sure that is just as likely as Bayonetta trilogy showing up.

The Developer Direct was a great format, more live demonstrations than CGI; really want to see Forza demonstrated live on a Series X, which may have just been confirmed.

There's practically nothing releasing for Xbox till 2024. The showcase will be just as disappointing if you're there for first party content. They have Forza and Starfield, and starfield is getting its own direct after the Microsoft conference. All we're getting is CGI trailers. Maybe a gameplay trailer for whatever MS will have out in spring 2024, but don't get your hopes up for any massive reveals and gameplay footage.
