did you not see the tweet above that said to temper your expectations? it would be a hail mary play if they delivered even one of those.

The simplest of BotW2 trailers IS tempered expectations. It's been 2 years since the initial announce, it's time to show something.

That said, I'm expecting a fall 2022 release date for it.

Edit: The people who are expecting too much are the people who think that there will be literally anything Metroid at all. Expecting anything even beyond that is just self abuse.

If you have game pass it was real good, since it was basically "here are some top shelf games you'll be playing this year in addition yo whatever else we round out the month with"

Otherwise yeah no invigorating newness really. Horiza Horizon 5 getting announced and released this year was kind of wild given Microsofts usual trends

Yeah exactly, the only real big “this looks SO GOOD and it’s coming soon!” Game was Forza. But at the same time I have a Series S + gamepass and continue to not buy a single game for it so maybe that’s ok

To be completely honest, I think thats exactly what they want. Obviously they want people to be more excited for new titles and such so new people buy into the ecosystem and current owners are more passionate, but for an existing owner to go " yep, steady as she goes" they're delivering their goal.

I have nothing to base this on so pure speculation but it would not surprise me if Microsoft has been shuffling around internal release dates backwards so they have both more even pacing throughout 2022 and bigger titles align to where supply constraints ease up on them.

I will say, while I'm obviously biased, I do think Battlefield 2042 could be rad as hell if it delivers on what those gameplay videos were promising. Wild poo poo.

Rune Factory isn't a JRPG, it's a Harvest Moon.

Now granted we are awash in indie Harvest Moon clones now, but most of them don't have Zelda combat as well.

Rune Factory 4 was the game where just about the one NPC you couldn't end up loving was some kind of mystical dragon, which made fans really upset because they all wanted to gently caress the mystical dragon right

Got it, that makes more sense. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad people enjoy games that I don't, but I just saw anime combat and assumed it was another JRPG...and we've had a LOT of that so far.

Yeah. As in who looks forward to another lovely JRPG. I'd take a somewhat unique genre with an art style that sucks over yet another bland as gently caress RPG.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


This E3 was the year of the forgettable pixel art cyberpunk action sidescroller, there were like at least 3-4 of them none of which I can remember.

I'm not sure what insider knowledge Alanah has working for Sony but I wouldn't be surprised if her tweet just meant "don't expect a Switch Pro or a huge slew of new stuff".

I really hope we get something on BotW2. Last year we got the 'we know you're waiting for news but hold on a little longer' talk so it feels like now is the natural time for it. Depends just how badly Covid hosed it I guess.
