I love the format. Announcing what games will be there and even what kind of stuff they are going to show for each of them.
Also, officially saying that there is a dedicated Starfield show in the work is just to shut down all the people starting rumors based on thin air :) This is really good.
Really looking forward to the showcase! It's great that they're setting expectations and clarifying that Starfield will get its own personal deepdive. Let's start getting release dates!
I don't mind no Starfield since they're apparently doing a stand alone event later on. I just hope it's soon, like February or March.
Super excited to get more info on Redfall! It could go either way but so far it looks like exactly what I want.
It's timed to be about 43 minutes so that is plenty of time to get an in depth look at each title. Hopefully the Starfield Direct is 20-30 minutes.
