The Gaming Showcase Thread

Mr Crispy

We're nearly in May, so we might as well start this up for this year. There'll be no E3 of course (rip, maybe), but plenty of other showcases will attempt to fill the void in your hearts.

First details are from the Tribeca Festival (June 11 - 19). Their selection includes Sam Barlow's Immortality, the Cuphead DLC, and the sequels to Oxenfree and A Plague Tale. The full list;

• A Plague Tale: Requiem
• Cuphead: Delicious Last Course
• American Arcadia
• As Dusk Falls
• Immortality
• Oxenfree II
• The Cub
• Thirsty Suitors
• Venba

We can expect to see a lot of A Plague Tale's sequel;

June will also see the return of Keighley's SGF which he says will be more condensed this year, rather than being spread out over a few months. Promises, promises.

The XBox showcase is rumoured for June also, and will surely have new info/footage for Starfield and Redfall. Right? RIGHT??

Further announcements, and disappointment, to follow.

I'm hoping Microsoft will give us a release date for the next Forza Motorsport game. If they do, hopefully it will be out this year.

Good idea Crispy, I was actually thinking yesterday about what games to be expecting the rest of this year and doesn't seem like much. Hopefully some nice shadow drops to keep us going.

Mr Crispy

Yeah, lots of stuff still in the air but the summer months are looking a bit lean alright.

Retr0gamer

We have Xenoblade 3 coming so there's one almost guaranteed cracker Triple A RPG. And hearing previews that Switch sports is far better than it really should be and out tomorrow. Nintendo will probably surprise launch a few things as well.

Some great indie stuff coming as well.

More than enough stuff there to keep my busy and happy during the summer.

Mr Crispy

Trek to Yomi is one indie I was looking forward to, but previews were mixed. Hopefully it delivers because I love the Kurosawaness of it all.

I'm also patiently waiting for news on when Lego Bricktales will release. I already know I'll be humming the DuckTales theme song when I play, but obviously substituting Brick for Duck.

Aww I hope it's good, it looks amazing in the video.

Looks like we'll be getting a closer look at The Callisto Protocol over the summer. Keighley replied to the below Tweet with an eyeball emoji, so could well be during SGF.

Jeff Grubb says Star Wars celebration (26-29 May) is when we'll get a reveal for the sequel to Jedi Fallen Order. Pencil that one in to your diary, Retro - I know you can't wait for it. 😉

I thought Star Wars celebration was May the 4th.

So did I, but now they have a whole separate weekend to pimp their shows, games etc.

Foundations are there for a good game. Wouldn't be surprised if respawn learned a lot from the first game and make something special for the sequel.

Mr Crispy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119004864#Comment_119004864

We can but hope!

Hope they played something like Metroid Prime and learned how make a map that can be navigated.

Would love to see some Avowed but no doubt it won't be there, what was the name of the vampire game they announced last summer and we haven't seen it since?

I was looking forward to Avowed until I tried The Outer Worlds. I thought that was quite disappointing. Not terrible, just really average. It had it's moments, but not enough.

Mr Crispy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119006686#Comment_119006686

Redfall. That was supposed to be out this summer, but it's been rumoured as delayed for a while. I still think it will be this year though, so should definitely be shown next month.

Mr Crispy

Just like the XB showcase, both the PC Gaming Show and Future Games Show will be on June 12th with times TBA.

Mr Crispy

Day of the Devs and Summer Games Fest both confirmed for Thursday June 9th. SGF will be shown in select IMAX theatres apparently.

I suppose we could include this here seeing as there's no dedicated thread yet.

FFS, there is a dedicated thread in which I've posted several times. 😳

Anyway, 505 Games are having a product showcase next week - May 17th at 14:00 our time.

Don't expect to see Alan Wake 2 at any of the shows this summer;

There's definitely no thread for The Callisto Protocol yet (I double checked), so I'll leave this here for now;

Im excited to announce I won't be watching it.

Are there any new game based shows in the works at Netflix? I think Devil May Cry.

Wonder if we'll hear anything about Arcane.

Mr Crispy

I'm glad most of these events are happening in the same few days, more or less.

Date and times confirmed for both the Future Games Show, and the PC Gaming Show. Both sticking to the same weekend in June as XB.

Sounds unlikely to me, but Jeff Grubb has heard that Nintendo might do multiple smaller showcases throughout June instead of one large direct.

Guessing it's something retro-flavoured given the Mega Drive controller-shaped cake.

Shining Force Collection or they can feck off.

The only news I want to hear from Sega is when exactly Ichiban Kasuga is making his triumphant return to Yokohama.

Mr Crispy

Do ye want to do a prediction bingo thing this year? I can't remember how we did it last year, tbh.

EoinMcLovin

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119124165#Comment_119124165

I organized it last year, we had suggestions in the E3 and then I created the bingo sheets. Here's the thread

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2058192356/boards-e3-bingo

Have no problem doing it again

Mr Crispy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119124183#Comment_119124183

Fair play. Might it be an idea to change it up this year? We'll have even less people playing thanks to the migration, so even less chance of a winner. Something like a league system with points for predictions? 3 for a spot-on prediction, 1 for a close-ish one, etc (just for example).

EoinMcLovin

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119124599#Comment_119124599

I was thinking keep the bingo as is but include bonus predictions. So say we have God of War Ragnarok as bingo item , for bonus points you have to select 1 of the 3 options (release date given for this year, delayed to next year, gameplay shown), If one of the 3 happens and you picked correctly, you get points. Just a rough thought or what if we do smaller ones for each showcase?

Mr Crispy

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119125715#Comment_119125715

Bonus points were part of my thinking too. 👍️

With several showcases in the same time period, I'd personally go with just one contest for the entire week or two. We know SE, Capcom, EA etc aren't having a show, so their stuff could show up anywhere. As for the bingo idea, it works better with a larger group of players imo, because more cards = more combinations of predictions, meaning more likelihood of a winner. If there's only a handful of us playing (which is a distinct possibility 😅), it might be boring?

I was going to suggest people make their own predictions, each with a number of components and you could score points for each component that's correct. Kinda like some of the YouTubers do it I guess?

Prediction 1, just as an example;

What? Half Life 3

Where? XB/Bethesda Showcase

When? "Holidays" 2022

For a bonus - Barack Obama to voice the Vortigaunts

Having said all that, if people are okay with the bingo format, that's cool!

Mr Crispy

Warhammer have a videogame showcase coming up - Wednesday 1st, 6PM.
