Yep, this is what I'm most eager to see.

Zero-Cool · 05-05-2020 03:45PM

I'm hoping to see Batman Arkham, NBA Live and Skate 4 announced. I'm sure there's more but that's just 3 top of my head.

Zero-Cool · 05-05-2020 05:21PM

Cyberpunk will be showing singing 11th June.

Read a headline today that some pro skater has said there's going to be a new Tony Hawk game this year (and, I'm sorry, a Skate mobile game).

Zero-Cool · 05-05-2020 07:28PM

Official website going live today that will have full schedule but events will still be announced on a rolling basis.

Scorn and Call of the Sea look so good!

Mr Crispy · 07-05-2020 07:53PM

Scorn feels like it's been around for ages. Someone has a hard-on for Giger anyway.

Potential-Monke · 09-05-2020 10:49AM

A few piqued my interest there. Aside from Valhalla which I am really looking forward to, I do like the look of the next Yakuza and Scarlet Nexus looks fun. Hopefully it's not a souls type game, doesn't look it. Bright Memory Infinite could be good too.

Sneaking suspicion they might show an AC: Valhalla Gameplay Trailer that actually has some AC: Valhalla gameplay in the trailer this time. Although knowing Ubisoft you probably have to watch the Gold or Ultimate edition of the stream for that.

Main thing I want to see is that Gods And Monsters game they showed last year. That piqued my interest.

The Geoff Keighley Gold Stream sponsored by Monster Energy Drink.
I would give my Beyond Good and Evil 2 plea but I think they've changed it so much it barely resembles the original concept, even more than the Assassins Creed games which still have the hidden blade but not really a lot else.
Whatever they are doing with Prince of Persia might get shown too. But forget Splinter Cell for now.

Yeah, same here. I have no reason to think it will, but I'm hoping it takes some cues from the Zelda series. It'd be fairly disappointing if it turns out to be just another huge Ubified open world game albeit wrapped in a more cutesy skin.

Tomorrow at 5pm Irish time, Geoff will kick off Sunrise 1, revealing a new game. Could well be Mafia with their tweets today.

Will wait until reviews are done considering the sh*tshow that THPS5 turned out to be.

That said, if it gets good reviews, I'm going to Christ Air off the roof of the San Francisco map. Always my favourite thing to do in THPS1.
