It originally came out on PC in '95.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Some game release dates would also be nice.

I think you’re remembering wrong. Hexen was a N64 game, like Doom.

Another mini fridge but in the shape of the ABK acquisition contract.
Joke all you want, my Xbox fridge gets more use than the Series S collecting dust!

Possible. But it would mean really a lot of money then. At least that would be a good ending to the baldurs gate 3 Series S fiasco.

I sure hope so.
They don't even have a release date for their next game at this point. We don't even know what their next game is FFS.

Based on numbers from France and Spain they are actually about to shut it all down

This. I believed for a while but like thousands of other disappointed gamers I’m just fed up with their bullshit.

Sure, but that's expected really, not some big special annoucment, or at least I would think.

New controller color.
I have a feeling that we will see Indiana Jones.
According to the Bethesda FTC leak game was supposed to be out in 2022. And since almost every game in that list was delayed 1-2 years I guess it is time to see it with 2024 release year.
It would be also fitting, since TGA looooooves "cinematic" games.

We're going to get the leaks we already got. So sebile controller and possibly cylindrical XSX revision/pro without a disc drive.

is not going to be "cinematic"
Yeah. It's going to be FPS open world game with text walls instead of cutscenes

having cutscenes dosen't mean "cinematic"

GTA 1 week exclusivity deal? Jesus would have to be the biggest money hat in history, and no way would Take2 want to shit on their potential sales with PS5 and its 50 million user base.
While teaser was ambiguous in terms of details I really doubt that Indiana Jones won't be third-person action adventure with linear-semi linear design.

also those things don't make a game "cinematic"

Okay, I'll go left-field.
What are the chances Xbox showcase its upcoming 2024 Series X refresh during TGA?

- It will help them avoid showing games (assuming they don't want to / they aren't ready to be shown) and still have an "important" announcement.
- It will help them counter PS5 Slim, at least somewhat from the marketing perspective.
- They did reveal Series X for the first time ever at TGA.

Two things nobody is asking for lol. Halo 3 in MCC is fine. Why the fuck would you waste resources remastering that? And a portable xbox? They need strong new games/IP. Not this shit.
What would be a point of showing "refresh" design now if they are supposed to release it at the end of 2024? Or you want to suffocate sales of Series X even more?Okay, I'll go left-field.

Who's with me?

There is a reason why Sony revealed "Slim" PS5 few weeks before release. Because they had clusterfuck of base PS5 in their warehouses and they did not want to risk slowdown of sales because "people are waiting for Slim"
If Microsoft will be at TGA there are several more logical option
- GamePass ad (fuck me if that is true)
- reminder of Perfect Dark with gameplay (since Perfect Dark was revealed at TGA and Booty said in June that we will see the game in next 18 months)
- new game reveal (Hoberman said that Certain Affinity's new game will be revealed in December and there is rumor that this game is "Project Suerte" - Monster Hunter clone that is made for Xbox)
I honestly don't think Hellblade 2 will be there because I'm kinda certain that Microsoft is preparing Developer Direct with Hellblade 2, Avowed, MSFS2024 and Towerborne for january-february. So my bets are on Indiana Jones.

I won't make the mistake of hyping myself up. While it does seem they'll have more than just some GP ads (with some unannounced titles in there) I am not expecting anything big. The XSX teaser was cool, also hadn't leaked and Hellblade 2 came out of nowhere too.
Only show me that damn game again if you have proper gameplay now and a concrete date for release. A big unannounced title would be great too or actually finally PD gameplay. Hopes are nice, just don't have crazy expectations.

GAMING
(in a video game) a scene shown to the player when they reach a particular point in the game, such as at the end of a level or when the player's character dies; a cutscene.
"players must select a chapter, watch a cinematic, win a fight, and move on"
