Excitement for the Xbox Games Showcase
I’m sorry that I haven’t posted in a while. I need to get
back into the swing of things, and this is the best time to do it.Today I am
going to talk about the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase (it will be this Thursday, July 23, 2020). The Showcase will have
plenty of new announcements, from Halo Infinite, to upcoming games from other
studios. I will go over my hopes and my worries about the conference. Lets Dive
in!
Hopes:
I really hope that they showcase a lot of new IP’s. IP
stands for Intellectual Property, and a lot of these normally get announced at
big conferences, such as E3, or PAX, both of which were cancelled because of
COVID-19. Microsoft usually announces a lot of these new IP’s, and the trailers
that they have are usually bonkers.
On top of all this, they have a bunch of new Studios, collectively
labeled Xbox Games Studios. An example of the studios that are under this
branding are Undead Labs, the creators of State of Decay (I hope they make a
third one too). This will be the prime time to announce the new games/IP’s from
these studios.
I am a big fan of Gears of War (not so much 5 but that is
mostly on the campaign, which I can do another time if people really want me
to). I know that there will be an announcement for the game, and I hope it is
DLC, or an elaboration on a few campaign decisions (these are spoilers so I
will not put them on the blog post). Anything else is a waste of time at the
conference.
I WANT TO SEE HALO INFINITE GAMEPLAY. Please 343i, I need
this. Most of us want to see what is happening to the game, and now is the BEST
time to see what is going on. If 343i doesn’t show much of the game, then people
will not have much faith in it. It also helps that the game will be on the Xbox
Series X at launch.
I would also like to know more about the Xbox Series X. I
know that they revealed the Specs (what’s in the game console), but I want to
see more. Maybe the price, and some upgraded quality of life features, such as
an upgraded Dashboard as an example.
I think I covered a few hopes for now. Time for the Worries.
Worries:
I am kinda scared that there will not be a lot of Halo Infinite
Gameplay. This is the perfect time for 343i to showcase the game, and they
cannot fumble it here. If they fumble, then the sales potential is on the line,
meaning that the company may not make as much money.
I also am worried that the IP’s announced will not have
great trailers, which would diminish the hype of said games. This is really
only for the games in the Xbox Games Studios, and not the bigger ones.
I do not know if the Gears 5 content will be worthy for an
announcement, which would be disastrous. The game is back on its legs, and it would
suck if the content they announce does nothing for the game itself.
Will we get any Xbox Series X info? I do not know so, but I
would hope that the content is totally worth it. The price is important, and this
is a necessity for the fall. From what I have heard the Xbox Series X is supposed
to be cheaper than the Playstation 5, so it may be better if Microsoft waits to
reveal the price in the long run.
Overall:
I am super excited for the event. I cannot wait to see what is in store for the Xbox Game Showcase! It will be exciting, and I can't wait to see the new IP's.
