I think they showed enough Fable Legends already, I don't expect to see it at their press even again.  Tomb Raider is a given though, and probably the others on that list.  Much more interested in what surprises they have, they've been hinting at quite a lot of exclusives this time around.

Not showing a game the year it launches? Only if they've gone completely mad and want to give away easy press.

After playing Fable Legends this weekend, I would say don't bother dedicating much if any time to this F2P game. It looks great, plays fine, but it aint nothing to write home about. It's a rinse and repeat game sadly.

You don't have to give it any real time on stage, everyone knows about it, they've shown it off this year, at least twice, maybe 3 times, to date.  I think fans get the idea already, besides if you have other new things to show off that'd be better time spent.  Toss it up on some video with a list of other things and be done with it.

Gears of War 4 is certain enough to make it to the list? I know MS has re-secured the rights and a "project is being worked on" but could that not be a HD remake?

I just don't want to get my hopes up :(

I thought they they were doing both (an HD remake of the first three and a separate fourth).

I didn't know anything was official, I'm happy with a remake of one-three and then a fourth game

 

There was that whole story about leaked videos of a HD remake for the first game on XB1 and then people getting banned for breaking the NDA.   But that wasn't done by Black Tusk, it was reported through some other studio was handling it, like how they did the Halo HD, it wasn't done through 343i, other studios did HD updates to Halo 1 and 2.

 

I think they're going to do the same thing to Gears they did with Halo, a HD remake for 1-3 and then a new 4th game coming after that.

 

As much as I'm a fan of Gears though, I'd like new titles to, new IP or bringing back other/older IP we haven't seen in years.  Hell, I'd be down for a new Perfect Dark game, I'm a fan of stealth based games, it'd be perfect for some stealthy first person fun.

I know what you mean yeah, I suspect this will end up like Halo MCC. Bought it, played a bit but nowhere near as much as I expected.

With Sony moving to E3 and PSX (Playstation Experience in December), it's a decent move for MS to bulk up Gamescom. It's very close to E3 this year, the reason Sony peddled that they won't be attending. If MS blow their load at E3, it's a long wait till GDC with PSX right in the middle to keep the focus on Sony.

I do remember seeing a Tweet from EA Access saying there's something special during E3 for EA Access users so would expect a new game, Titanfall would be another good addition. ##

 

Can't access the link at work but why does adding Titanfall go against the T&Cs?

No idea, they never gave a reason why it was excluded. Probably because it was supposed to be their flagship seller last year and they didn't want to cannibalize sales.

    • AMD confirms 26.6.2 FSR driver breaks on many Windows PCs

      By WaltC · Posted

      I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By WaltC · Posted

      AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By +DDG3595 · Posted

      AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.

    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
