Wow, the new Perfect Dark looks cool as hell! Didn’t like the first one tons, liked Zero at launch quite a bit, and this looks like my kind of thing.
Fable looks great too!
Tons of them look great, but especially those two..and Indy too
Wow, that first game in the end segment looked amazing, then a French turn based RPG? Awesome!! Mixtape? South of Midnight? Yeah, these both look awesome
The new Dragon Age looks predictably awesome, and that game from the Sniper Elite people? I’m not sure what it is but might be neat.
Considering this is a Microsoft game the new Gears of War is going to be Girls Of War, regardless of what they shown in the pretenderd trailer.
Misophonia warning: this episode is unlistenable for those of us with certain auditory issues. You guys need better spitcatchers or something.
ANOTHER fucking somethingfall game? Where the hell did this trend come from?
TowerFall, Titanfall, Matterfall, Dreamfall, Earthfall, The Fall, Shadow Fall, Light Fall, GreedFall, Planetfall, Moonfall, Fruitfall, PieceFall, Godfall, Bloodfall, Redfall, Soundfall, Atomfall
Give me a break. It doesn't mean anything. How does something so meaningless become a trend?
Snake's Nightmare isn't in any of the rereleases 🙁
Chances are the people making MGS: Pointless don't even know it exists lol
That perfect dark trailer showed me that they have absolutely no idea what was so cool about that world, and they should be forced to listen to the chicago streets bgm for six hours straight.
MS had a enshittified the Xbox experience over the last year or two, I no longer care and game elsewhere.
DF all rated it NEIN out of ten.
Sad to see so many game engines dying..Devs competing with their engines gives us better stuff.
I can tell Indiana Jones is running on the ID Tech engine just from looking at the character's faces. They're realistic yet slight cartoony.
Xbox 🏆
Spiderman and sony deal is WAYy different to Indie on xbox, cuz that inevitably has something to do with Sony's ownership of the cinematic rights to Spiderman and their agreement with the MCU, so they have a bit of sway already.
MS do not have a clue hardware wise.
Those sku are pointless.
They really should just drop the Series S and have Series X disc/non disc version also drop the price it needs to be cheaper over PS5 (It's a joke how an all digital console has such little storage as well)
I gave up on MS towards end of 360.
I will never support platform which forces you to have to be online like MS do.
Imagine these guy rating their kids school drawings, "well the resolution is a bit low, and the anti aliasing could do with some work, we know crayola crayons are capable of indirect shadows but they havent seemed to utilise all the of the technology thats available". 😂
I dont know about the weapons resembling painkillers, however i have seen the predator movies, pinning people to the wall with spears, a shield with a sharp edge that he throws like in predator 2, even the weapon that grinds skulls into bullets looks like a weapon the predator in "prey" could have had.
So glad I kept my original PS2 MGS games. Still hold up today, absolutely incredible
I can't get over the main character's look in Fable. She sticks out like a sore thumb, it's straight up bad character design
There's one game they didn't show which they showed in the previous Xbox showcase called "Replaced". It's a 2.5 indie game set in a dystopian world that uses a unique style of 8-bit and modern graphics. Hopefully more info on that soon.
Xbox Lost the console war 😂
I wish it was okay for games to be like 8-14 hours again.
The reason why game development takes so dang long now is they're almost always 30+ hours now.
That said Senuas Saga: Hellblade II took a while and was only about 6 hours long.
I don't know for sure why that was but I imagine partly because the tracks were being laid as the train was moving, UE5 being so unfinished for most of development.
So, it was just me who thought deus ex when i saw the perfect dark gameplay ….obviously plus parkour
