The Gaming Showcase Thread

Mr Crispy · 27-04-2022 2:31am #1

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.

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

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.

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.

"Trek to Yomi is one indie I was looking forward to, but previews were mixed."

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

That looks like incredible machine with lego. Interesting.

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.

This game looks great, hopefully it comes to XBox.

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.

We can but hope!

CastorTroy · 02-05-2022 2:16pm

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

Sephiroth_dude · 02-05-2022 6:37pm

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?

02-05-2022 6:49pm

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.

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.
