Geoff Keighly - https://youtu.be/g_HnB7wz0UE
IGN - https://youtu.be/Ar1dzkqt9eQ

Pre-show starts an hour before.

Giant bomb will also be talking over the stream at https://www.giantbomb.com/chat/, starting 15 minutes before.

Games:

Halo Infinite is confirmed, Hellblade and s new Fable seem almost certain to appear. Beyond that, who knows! If Elden Ring is going to show up anywhere this summer, it will be here.

Let's see what they're doing to tempt people away from PS5 then.

I suspect a lot of that will be very aggressive pricing and GamePass offers. That won't be here though, they have said to only expect games.

It'll be a great chance for them to turn their first party fortunes around though, because frankly Xbox's first party output has been shockingly bad for effectively a decade, and now they own all those studios they can turn it around.

I need a weapon

100 master chiefs drop onto a halo

100 anime school girls drop onto a halo.

---

Pre-show starting now!

---

DQXIS coming to Xbox, will be on GamePass.

Man PS4 players really got the short end of the stick there.

---

Exomecha, new Free to play shooter... thing that looks pretty cool.

---

Oh I didn't see this topic was already made. Cool.

---

Why did Geoff invite non Xbox players to his stream to discuss on the pregame show lol.

---

I see the Giant Bomb skateboard deck in the background of Danny O'Dwyer's office


---

It's so apparent they are spoiling fable being announced and obsidian having a new rpg.

---

haven't finished the Switch version yet, whoops

---

Twitch stream is gonna be a godsend from this terrible YouTube one.

---

I'll be watching on Giant Bomb as usual, but they don't go live until 15 minutes before the main show.

---

Trying to work out if Egoraptor is in a bedroom or a study

---

NlNJA, BROS

---

Can't even hear ninja lol.

---

The more I see of Watch Dogs Legion the more it pisses me off. Its just such a ridiculously caricatured version of London, and the inane way it is dealing with its subjects given whats happening in the UK right now is horrible. And I was optimistic when it was first rumoured.

At least the first line of the trailer was accurate.

---

Echo Generation announced. Looks like a slow traditional rpg game.

---

Who invited MetalJesus to this

---

GIant Bomb is playing Lockdown so it's official E3 content

---

Announce NCAA Football 2020 you bastards.

---

---

Hello Neighbor 2 announced.

---

Echo Generation looks awesome. Like a mix of Earthbound and FF1-7 with modern visuals.

...Wasn't Hello Neighbour supposed to be kind of bad? Why a sequel? Ah well!

I don't like how the combat is so slow though. There was another game I played a little of the other day where it was just tedious waiting for them to finally attack. Animations were so slow.

---

Tunic sighting.

---

Japanese game. Oh shit! Lol

---

Balan Wonderworld from Squeenix.

---

Yes costumes and floaty flower. Lezzz go.

---

That is a Yuji Naka game by the way. Cool to see what he's doing now. Looks very cute.

However I have now switched to Giant Bomb.

I will say though if that's the level of stuff in the pre-show that is promising for this event.

On which stuff Brad on GB just confirmed that there will be third party stuff shown in the main show.

---

Show starting now.

Opening with Halo Infinite.

---

Graphics don't look too mind-blowing in this halo demo.

---

Open world Halo?

---

If you were one of the many people thinking that Infinite would be open world Halo, you would be right!

---

this is a pretty looking halo

---

This game would look good on the 360. Considering this for the One and Series X, it's not what I would call amazing.

---

Looks like a potentially great game but the visuals are definitely dated.

---

I couldn't care less about Halo.

---

Yeah the graphics don't look great, but the gameplay variety looks fun enough to make up for it

---

That speech at the end was kinda sick.

---

Though also, literally the only next gen game shown so far that doesnt look like a current gen game is Ratchet and Clank. And I suspect thats a way off.

---

Hey look, we have a Last of Us too!
