Probably no actual gameplay but still excited as hell. One of my most anticipated Xbox games alongside Fable.

"One of my most anticipated Xbox games alongside Fable."

Yeah! Mine too. I heard that they shift the development towards UE5.

I don´t care if they don´t show actual gameplay today. I just want this game to be as good as possible.

[RaidenBlack]

They should've went ahead with the development utilizing their highly customized UE4.2 and release the game sooner. It was bound to look pretty good.
And then start work on their next project using UE5 from ground up.
Senua I was already a pretty good looking game.
UE4 to UE5 transition for a large game with extra dev customization will take time and then there's also time required for optimizations and further bug fixing and QA testing.

I think it will be gameplay, we saw a full trailer last year.

Will either be some in-engine gameplay, or a gameplay trailer

[F0XH0UND922]

Just watched it. There's actually no gameplay whatsoever.

[DJStotty]

I watched it too, glad you tuned in.

Disappointing there was no gameplay, but nonetheless still showed a few snippets of in-game action which could be representative of the final product.

Still looks good though, exciting times :p

[darthv72]

It wasnt game play but more a montage of wire frame and live action and the stuff thats going into making the game currently.

[isarai]

Please gameplay

[DOMination-]

All of the games will have a presentation similar to how FH5 was shown so there will be a mix between some gameplay and discussion on mechanics. Not quite "deep dive" territory ala State of Play but think bitesize versions of this.

[SullysCigar]

Great, but how is this news when IGN told us on N4G 3 days ago?

This talks about showing footage of the game where the previous mentioned only conversations with devs.

[DJStotty]

Niiiiiiccccceeeeeee, i knew it, i knew it, too many things to show in a 90 minute E3 slot.

The hype is real, but when i scroll down, i am bound to see some deflect comments lol

[Father__Merrin]

Started playing the first one was OK but only managed a few hours. Incredible audio though. Sequel might be quite popular

[Kakashi Hatake]

Wish this game would flop already so people can stop pretending they care about it. Nice music video reveal that people keep pretending is gameplay btw. No one even talks about the first game.

[King_Noctis]

Are you for real? I swear MS’s E3 show this year had made some people seriously mad.

“ No one even talks about the first game.”

Hellblade (which is 88% on Metacritic) won many awards in 2017. Where were you during that time?

[DJStotty]

"Where were you during that time?"

They were probably playing it on PS enjoying the game, which turned to disliking the game as soon as it went across to the other platform, and then they miss out on the sequel.

[alb1899]

Wow, so enthusiastic hahaha!!

[DJStotty]

Wishing a game to flop, speaks volumes in and of itself.

The more games flourish, the better others strive to match. The only reason we get xbox games as we do, is because of games on the competing platforms.

All in all, be careful what you wish for.

[CrimsonWing69]

Thank the gods!!!

[DJStotty]

Just imagine how fast the internet would break if they ended with

"available to download now"

[thesoftware730]

I'm not convinced we will see any gameplay or even an in-engine trailer like the last one. I don't see where they say that on the post.

I think they will be showing bite sized clips of scenery(Think cloud video we go a bit ago) and talking about the game in whatever capacity.

I will say this, MS already had a great E3 and if they do show trailers/gameplay of the games from each of the studios today, they would have effectively blow the doors off of this whole E3 time period.

Here is hoping we see more than just talking and 3 sec clips.

[IrishScotsman32]

It's the 17th, where's the Showcase?
