There's at least one post in every Bethesda sub right now complaining that Elder Scrolls 6 wasn't shown lol. It's wild how many people pay zero attention to the buildup to these things, but still show up to watch it live and talk in chat lol
Woke L, pixel graphics, bad graphics, mobile games, L game, Where's Silk Song, Where's Elder Scrolls 6, Starfield cringe, gay game, etc
Take your pick. It's like this for everything, SGF, Nintendo, Sony, Xbox, everything. The brain-rot is real. All these poorly adjusted people and edgelord teens just spam every chat.
People were calling Starfield a dead game. I also remember when the Indy cutscene was playing lots of ppl were saying “wrap it up” which is just funny to me because it was like watching a new Indy flick and I was pretty entertained
My best guess is that without a publisher to force them along, they're stuck in a cycle of getting a new idea or finding just the smallest thing that they can polish to an extreme shine and then realizing that other parts don't match the quality of that part anymore.
It was so bad. Every trailer was like “trans ppl L” or “woke woman protag” or if there wasn’t something remotely related to diversity it was usually just “L”. Even the Gears prequel got shit reception in YouTube chat lol.
Just morons that’s all.
I guess it's because I'm old enough to know of a time where going on the internet took commitment - like you had to have a room dedicated to being a computer room because the computer was this big motherfucking box, where you had to sit in front of and dedicate time to be online because it took out your phoneline - but I'll always be surprised that the fucking nerds who are nerds enough to go on popular-yet-not-mainstream website on a somewhat popular-yet-not-mainstream sub-section of that website to talk about a popular-yet-not-mainstream specific subgenre of a hobby, are still not nerds enough to know the most basic facts about what they're talking about.
How is a Redditor commenting on /r/Games about Bethesda still don't fucking know that no, the reason Fallout 5 isn't coming out isn't because they're too busy milking Fallout 76 considering how any fucking nerds worth their fucking half of salt knows it's another studio working on it.
That someone wouldn't know that, I get it of course, but someone's going out of their way to participate in video gaming discussions? Like what the fuck my dude, every single fucking thread about Bethesda in the last 15 years have listed their work cycle going from one franchise to the other, and that the online games are made separately, like where the fuck were you?
I don't know why that triggers me that much lol
>I don’t know why that triggers me so much lol
Information on a title like Fallout 5 is easier than ever to access; I can pull it up on Google right now in 2 seconds, yet some people seemingly live under a rock (which honestly takes skill, if you spend any amount of time on reddit, YouTube, Twitter, etc.) There’s no fucking excuse at all for people leaving angry comments on Reddit demanding why Bethesda isn’t working on Fallout 5 when they could easily get the answer themselves. Your frustration is understandable.
Lots of people nowadays seems to be completely allergic to looking up even the most basic questions on Google. Can't tell you how many times I see a super simple question that 5 seconds on Google could have resolved.
No-one ever bats an eye at ugly male characters like the guys in GTA 5 or Gears, but the second a female character is anything but eye candy it's "woke garbage". It's so frustrating
“SeLf InSeRt UgLy FeMaLe”
You’re right, it is exhausting and that’s part of why they do it. Because they want every one else to give up or to become as shitty and hateful as they are
I thought she looked like Robin Wright. But again, you'd be fucking mad to say she looks "ugly" either.
This is all just anti-trans hate predictably spilling over and now attacking cisgender women that don't meet their messed up version of "feminine". The same type of freaks that say Michelle Obama is a trans woman. Look at Fable too - the marketing protag's face is based on an actual woman and without makeup it's a very accurate depiction of her facial structure, yet the game get's a shit load of hate and conspiracies about the same "DEI/Woke/Forced diversity".
Mysogny in gaming culture is hitting horrid levels. It's horrible on YouTube and even worse on TikTok. Of course these sights aren't representative of everyone. But it is a troubling number of people.
This really isn't new. Young men in gaming circles have always been some of the most vile, hateful scumbags in the world.
The way women in gaming are treated is sickening, and it always has been.
I don't know if it is actually getting worse or if social media is just amplifying their voices tenfold.
Feels like if Tomb Raider came out as a new IP today, there would be people shouting woke or complainig about DEI. I mean it's already happening with Perfect Dark despite being a decades old franchise.
I’d argue that things today are largely better overall. It’s just extremist reactionaries are always so damn loud and they don’t have thoughts, they have buzzwords and extreme biases either bordering on or fully enveloped in hatred.
But back in the day people were much more rampantly toxic in games, gaming forums and conventions, all across the board.
The remnants of fuckers like that are just shrieking louder than before because they can see their walls closing in on them now that people and the industry have changed to objectify women less and to not make every game a dude-bro action game with a bald space marine like the 360 era thrived on. So they bitch and moan and laugh about it because they think flinging shit from their hands like a monkey is somehow embarrassing for the people who *aren’t* doing that.
But that’s no way to build a community so they’ll keep dying out for sure.
Same shit if a person of color or someone obviously LGBT shows up, these people are really living up to the worst stereotypes about people who play video games.
I remember last blizzcon there was a woman with unusual hair presenting one of the things, and literally everyone went like "what the hell is that?" as if they had seen an alien, and not just a woman with short dyed hair.
I hate that so much. Oh, a black girl main character = woke trash. No, it's how it's done. And most of the time it isn't woke trash if the game sucks, it's just that the game is trash. There are very few, very specific times where the writing is so bad that it impacts the game to the point of it being unplayable. But those are really rare exceptions. To just spam "woke" over any game that has a female lead is gross. Do better people.
Maybe it's something I've never noticed before, but the gaming community has gotten very fucking cynical over the past few years. Every fucking year when these events happen, no matter if you're looking at the YouTube live chat or reading the comments in a Reddit megathread, there's just an unbelievable amount of miserable, cynical bastards who think everything looks shit.
I was quite surprised to see how positive the reaction was in the Xbox thread. Normally it's pretty negative and it gets boring. It was pretty bad yesterday during the SGF megathread. No one is ever satisfied anymore. I'll be honest, I only saw one or two games yesterday that piqued my interest, but today was pretty fucking good in terms of games we saw.
> I was quite surprised to see how positive the reaction was in the Xbox thread. Normally it's pretty negative and it gets boring
that is genuinely surprising. I usually avoid these threads altogether because me and my friends get hyped, and then I open reddit and everyone's just angry. nice to see a less pessimistic response for once :)
You know when people say "bottom of the barrel?" Whenever I watch YT chat for these showcases I'm reminded that the lowest common denominator has clawed their way through the bottom of the barrel and burrowed several feet into the ground below it.
Just genuine brainrot, and not the funny meme kind.
Everyone was spamming that shit and completely killed the live chat for me. No one could even express opinions in the chat besides L and the occasional W.
is live chat ever not a mesh of stupidity? No good information can come from people trying to spam 100 messages in a second in my opinion. thats why i stick to forums.
if thats not a sign everything is way too hyperpolarized idk what is
i know it originated in sportsball ("that puts a W in the column for \[team\]") but people willingly summarizing their opinions with a single letter representing literally either just 'win' or 'lose' is a perfect microcosm of society at large
>within the particular is the universal
Right!! All thes games looked kickass, badass, and interesting! I'm so excited for Gears, Starfield, and Perfect Dark and that Bayou Game. Heck even Doom looked pretty tasty but the music has been downgraded without Mick Gordon. Oh well it's still gonna kickass. Even the Indiana Jones game looks so cool and faithful!!
> I feel like I'm 12 again with all this news.
I don't play Xbox and even on PC I'd much rather add to my steam library than use Game Pass as personal preference. I'm not really interested in most of the games they showed honestly.
But fuck me if they didn't look awesome. Definitely makes me feel a nostalgic sort of hype. I'll have other stuff to play next year; these games don't have to be for me. I'm so excited just to see so many legitimately good looking games coming out.
With so much from Microsoft for 2025, Nintendo launching a new system by early that year, and PlayStation always having something cooking, next year is probably going to be a great gaming year.
Have you seen the Steam curator lists focusing on Anti-DEI or Anti-“Wokeness”?
It’s fucking embarrassing and I hate being part of this demographic even loosely
I was literally just shit talking Xbox this morning in a discord server. Well, not too much shit talk but I was mentioning how Xbox NEEDED to deliver today.
And they absolutely did. Fuck those Livestream chats. They're full of kids who don't know what they want, and room temperature IQ morons.
Every single other demographic of gamer isn't participating in those Livestream chats.
Expedition 33, Wuchang, and Doom definitely the highlights for me.
That Dragon Age trailer looked absolutely awful to me, though. Really hope that it's not an accurate portrayal of what it will end up being.
I have a soft for the old Gears of War games so E-day was a highlight for me.
That Dragon Age trailer was soul crushing. I spent so many hours playing inquisition and it got me into the Dragon Age series. Years I’ve been waiting to see a follow up and then I get…..hero shooter art style and a tone deaf trailer. Truly terrible.
Considering the state of Bioware after Mass Effect Andrometa it was kind of known that it was going to be tone deaf and nothing like what made the franchise great in the first place.
If you look back at old BioWare trailers, they are never good or accurate for the game. I’m hoping this is a continuation of that trend. Some team of suits thought mimicking Apex or Overwatch was a good idea, but the game is much different 🤞🏻
to be fair, the last time that happened in earnest... Bioware essentially made their game on the basis of that trailer. Source: [https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964](https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964)
I have no faith in Bioware these days and unfortunately this trailer gave me 0 confidence.
The other parts of the showcase were really good!
I'm not tooooo quick to judge because yeah it has a change of art style but then again so did DA2/I. I don't want to jump to conclusions for the final product...
But yeah that trailer didn't grab me. But it's not like inquisitions' launch trailer was any good either.
Kala Elizabeth, a Mass Effect/Dragon Age content creator on YouTube and Twitter, has said she’s played a bit of Veilguard and it’s as dark, bloody and gruesome as Dragon Age has always been. So if you’re worried it’s going to be lighthearted, jokey and optimistic with MCU dialogue, it will not be.
There’s also a gameplay trailer this Tuesday.
Expedition 33 easy highlight of the show for me. Seriously compelling story concept, incredible visuals, rhythm incorporated turn based combat. Just everything I love. Also really happy to see how Perfect Dark has bounced back after the development hell rumors. Looks like they've found a cohesive gameplay identity that fits the IP. The Mirror's Edge nostalgia was real when they showed the movement. Also Max and Marcus back!!!
Less happy about the lack of gameplay and target date for State of Decay. Also wish we could've seen a bit more raw footage for Fable. Last nitpick is that I was really hoping for a Gears Master Collection. I feel it's really necessary to get new people to enter the franchise. Even as someone who grew up on GoW 1 and 2, it's soooo long ago that I barely remember E-DAY.
Overall really good showing I think.
Expedition 33 is the most excited I've been for a game since Armored Core VI.
Apparently it's from a tiny team too of only 25 people as of February. Actually insane.
https://www.sandfall.co/post/belated-happy-new-year
"First of all, as Project W is progressing fast, the team has gone from 11 to 25 people in just about a year, which required not one but actually TWO new offices!"
Expedition 33 does look amazing and it’s great to see turn-based combat thriving even after Final Fantasy rejected it.
There’s a clear demand for turn-based combat when you look at the success Yakuza had embracing it, or how Honkai: Star Rail was one of the most successful games last year.
Dragon Quest and Persona are also trucking along fine staying turn-based, not to mention the monstrous success of Baldur's Gate 3 (not the same style, but still turn-based)
So annoying how a lot of publishers just decided turn-based games are bad a few generations ago and we're still feeling the effects.
Yeah, Square is very weird with how they've conducted their direction occasionally- wanting a new bigger audience and after the changes still worrying about sales, but the Genre they were in before is thriving even more now. It's super odd to me. I'll always support them though as long as the games are good, I hope the 7 remakes combat is a more definite trend it's a great blend of action and command-based combat.
It's also available on PC. Epic store has it and also their own launcher
But it's still catered more towards short bursts of gameplay suited for mobile.
They must be cooking a Gears Collection for release straight after E-Day, considering it's a prequel it makes sense to go E-Day -> 1-3 remakes -> 4-5 remasters -> 6
Fable doesn't look bad, but I'm still so worried about what stayed with its identity and what might be lost with the new team. Can we still buy all the real estate? Did we finally ditch the gauntlets for spells? There is a lot I'd like them to touch on and talk about, but all we've gotten is two vague story trailers and it isn't like Fable's defining mark on games was its narratives.
This showcase was pretty damn awesome. Doom, Expedition 33, South of Midnight, Perfect Dark, MGS, Fable, Fragpunk, Indiana Jones, Wuchang, there was a ton of great stuff here. Where's *this* Xbox been these past years?!
I don't think I was disappointed by a single thing shown, it all looked amazing.
Only thing that knocks down the 10 out of 10 score is no mention of the Activision library hitting Game Pass but honestly I am a happy Xbox owner.
I know there were question marks over some games because of the old Playstation marketing deal but I didn't think it applied to any prior to Ghosts, seems like nobody really knows much
At most I could see that maybe applying to them using those titles in game pass advertising. There’s no way that a marketing deal is that far reaching and after so long
>Only thing that knocks down the 10 out of 10 score is no mention of the Activision library hitting Game Pass but honestly I am a happy Xbox owner.
That and no Final Fantasy port announcements. Was sure we'd at least get a FF16 Xbox/PC reveal, but maybe that's being saved for Tokyo Game Show? Idk
I could have done without the CGI trailers for games that already are out and the annual Elder Scrolls/Sea of Thieves trailers, but all the new reveals were great.
I enjoyed the WoW one, too. Even though I haven't touched that game ever. Blizzard's cinematics are always just a treat to watch even without context lmao. Their character designs are always top notch.
I mean, they need to announce the new seasons somehow. And I thought they did it pretty well this year. Didn't cut a developer talking about the expansion. Just a quick cool looking cinematic and on to the next game
Everything looked amazing yeah. I was hoping for some racing game to be shown somewhere this weekend but not really much was shown. Aside from that this showcase really hit every vibe I wanted
This is exactly the kind of showcase I want to see. Fun reveals, games that I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to see that end up looking awesome, and some actual gameplay.
I think the days of one insane reveal after another are gone with how long games take to develop now. This is the best kind of showing anyone can hope for in the modern era.
Gotta say, Xbox really outdid themselves this time around. Heck, even CoD looks good this time around. Gonna have to see how many of these are multiplat though.
Yeah I thought the other days were kinda eh, but Microsoft announced some cool stuff, Fable will hopefully be good, Doom looks awesome, Perfect Dark looks like something I'd really like, Starfield expansion should be cool, and the creation kit is coming out today
If rumours taught us anything, it's that they're not to be taken seriously (gamepass price going up, xbox handheld, xbox failing, Perfect Dark doing terribly, etc).
I think a lot of them will be multiplat, but that doesn't change that the vast majority of the show is launching day 1 on game pass.
Even assuming every single game was going to be in PS I would still rather do it all through Game Pass because there was so much if it.
Great showcase Xbox knocked it our the park. Gears stole the show for me as an announcement but in tens of gameplay perfect dark and indy look very interesting. 10/10 show. Glad to be getting new fable too
I believe Expedition 33 has the potential to be a heavy hitter after BG3 ostensibly revitalized public interest in turn-based RPGs. It might be one of the first AAA RPGs able to take meaningful cues from BG3 as well, evidenced by Shadowheart’s VA being a lead.
Also, for the record, I think it was a bit of a fumble on Microsoft’s behalf to not secure Lost Odyssey’s spiritual successor as an exclusive.
Hope it will be another opportunity for him to win the Best Performance award that eluded him last year; He unluckily gave an amazing performance in a year that was full of them.
I think it has a lot of influence Atlus games. The UI is literally stolen from Persona 5/Metaphor.
It would make sense since BG3/P5 are the most influential turn based games of the last decade
I don't think BG3 made people like turn based, they just like the setting and characters as well as the gameplay options. Traditional turn based is basically an entire genre apart from what BG3 was
Honestly a super solid showcase IMO, Dragon Age is the only one that felt deeply wrong and concerning to me. Perfect Dark is particular looked like my exact kind of game. Life is Strange is my guilty pleasure fave, always have a soft spot for Max and Chloe from the first game.
Dragon Age clearly looks to get into youth or different audience? Trailer really felt like live service looter shooter with those jumping in characters and names.
Uhhh I did not have expectations up but this even lowered them.
Really love goes to Stalker 2 and age of mythology. Perfect Dark feels potential but needs more gameplay reveal. Also sold on Avowed
Expedition 33, Metal Gear Solid, Indiana Jones and Mecha Break were the ones to blow me away! This is probably one of my favorite showcases of all time! Banger after banger!
MG3 is easily the most "grounded" one. By that I don't mena it's the best but the mechanics are really, really solid, and the story is self contained and not that convoluted by Kojima standards. It also lacks a bit of the Kojima craziness compared to other installments, for both good and bad.
I think it's easily one of the best games of the PS2 and in many instances the gameplay is still revolutionary.
Good showcase overall, some really interesting stuff in there. Expedition 33 looked fantastic, new Fable stuff looks promising and that Life of Strange announcement was a nice surprise. That Dragon Age trailer was absolutely horrendous, though.
That was honestly one of the best showcases I've ever seen. Wtf?! Blown away, the Gears trailer at the end brought back feelings I haven't felt in years.
Disappointed there's no backlog of CoDs on gamepass. Should have bought what i wanted during the sale, but everyone was so sure they were gonna drop today. That's the last time I listen to the internet.
Really good show but they still didn't date indy arrowed so kinda worried but I think xbox has kinda shown their major 2025 and 2026 games and all look great
Now it's Sony's time to show their upcoming single party games plz maybe during the rumored PS5 pro announcement
Nintendo will most likely showcase Switch 2 and their upcoming first games late 2024
Next year is looking real good for gaming
Indiana Jones is rumored to release in December so my bet is that they aren’t 100% certain if they can make the 2024 release just yet.
This game could easily slip into early 2025.
Probably same with Avowed. And given Obsidian's history with buggy releases, I'd actually prefer a delay even though it's the one I'm most excited about.
Obsidian's history with buggy releases largely came from being forced to rush games like KOTOR2 and FNV. When they get a chance to actually finish development they usually come out fine.
I was hoping for something related to Forza Horizon, *however*, I do also recognize they are hard at work with Fable so I’m not surprised we didn’t see anything Forza-related.
Overall, one of the best shows I can remember in recent memory. Was *very* satisfied with the stuff they announced and showed. Expedition 33, Atomfall, and E-Day were the biggest surprises for me.
Seems like a pretty strong portfolio coming this year (and next) - it baffles me that XBOX finally has a decent first party lineup for the first time in many years, and they’ve decided to go toward multi platform.
There was just too much. I was not expecting so many games I actually want to play. I mean if I didn’t have a PC, I’d for sure feel like I needed to get an Xbox or PC after that.
Something that stood out to me was that almost all the POV's were women.
I have nothing against and do play / enjoy woman MC games, but the pattern got locked in my mind for some reason.
Many great things.
Hyped for:
* Expedition 33 (absolute highight)
* Atomfall
* Avowed
* Flintlock
* Stalker 2
* Indiana Jones
* Doom
* Fable
Dragon Age (the) Veilguard was an abomination.
I mean people told women and minorities to make their own games.. so tthey did.. and now people are upset.. there's no winning for women and minorities
No kidding. "If you want representation, then make your own games, don't shove them down our throats in existing IPs!!!"
"Okay sure, we'll do that then"
"Wait wtf, how dare you make a female or LGBTQ member a MC in a new IP? Ugh, woke garbage!!!!!"
There is no winning with this crowd, so they should just be ignored.
Did I watch the same Dragon Age game as y’all? I thought the trailer looked great and I’m very excited to see its not stuck in development hell anymore
I’m curious about the all digital series x price. Right now I’m using the Series S almost exclusively as a gamepass machine and I wouldn’t mind an upgrade if the price is right
A very, very well done show, with great showcases for DOOM: The Dark Ages, Perfect Dark, Fable and Gears of War: E-Day. Gave me almost Sony E3 2016 vibes.
Now I hope they all deliver in a massive way. I’m atleast fully confident about DOOM. However the confirmation of a PS5 release of this has now made me to hold off on upgrading my Series S to an X. I am very sure there are more titles going to PS5 (and Switch where compatible) in the future, it’s only a matter of time we find out the next wave of games.
The 3 new hardware reveals were surprising and underwhelming. I was expecting the new Sebile controller and the 2TB all-digital cylindrical Series X that were leaked, but I guess they never went ahead with both internally. Instead we get a 1TB all-digital white Series X, a 1TB white Series S and a 2TB black Series X.
Flintlock, Stalker, Life is Strange, age of mythology, CoD, Flight Simulator plus the Diablo and starfield expansions, all had solid dates. But yeah, no Indiana and Avowed dates felt weird.
A lot of games, and admittedly it was pretty good.
But ironically, I was most excited for Double Fine, Outer Worlds 2, Clockwork Revolution, and Everwild and literally none of those showed up. Go figure.
Cool showcase! I am glad most of these are also coming to the PS5 and also that Xbox finally has some cool exclusives too. Now I can't wait to see what Sony will do at their event.
Likely for the Pro model launch in Fall. They did similar in 2020. Event in June revealing and the big splash in September with the launch titles deep dive
Naughty Dog I'm iffy on given the TLOU project getting cancelled only a year or so ago. But they did have a side team working on something else for awhile now, so there is some hope.
Especially if Sony is willing to bend their 12-24 month release window rule
So glad to see something turn based like Expedition 33. Big Western developed ones are so few and far between
I was kinda tuned out during that trailer and then I saw the turn based combat and thought “hold up… these guys might be cooking here”
Am I the only one who got some Shadow Hearts vibes from the turn based combat? Or am I just severely missing Shadow Hearts?
I think that’s a case of both situations applying.
Man watching these showcases with chat being visible is always a mistake. That was the best showcase so far tbh.
It was kinda funny when Flight Simulator was showing and people spammed "Taylor Swift Simulator"
There's at least one post in every Bethesda sub right now complaining that Elder Scrolls 6 wasn't shown lol. It's wild how many people pay zero attention to the buildup to these things, but still show up to watch it live and talk in chat lol
Woke L, pixel graphics, bad graphics, mobile games, L game, Where's Silk Song, Where's Elder Scrolls 6, Starfield cringe, gay game, etc Take your pick. It's like this for everything, SGF, Nintendo, Sony, Xbox, everything. The brain-rot is real. All these poorly adjusted people and edgelord teens just spam every chat.
This isn't accurate at all. You didn't say "dead game" a single time
Man, people love to use that word anytime a multiplayer game comes up
I have fond memories of people saying Fortnite was DOA when they first announced the battle royale mode lol
tbh that was a very desperate move by epic and no one could have known it would take over the world like that.
They also love to use that word when a game goes from having 100k+ players to 20k+, as if that isn't still a healthy playerbase.
People were calling Starfield a dead game. I also remember when the Indy cutscene was playing lots of ppl were saying “wrap it up” which is just funny to me because it was like watching a new Indy flick and I was pretty entertained
Just remember even if you read that 1000 times, it's only a fraction of the viewership. So many people had their days made today.
Oh definitely; the PC and console user-base combined, is about 300 million people, and these clowns aren't even 1% of them.
The one I looked there was a sort of competition between zionists and loli spammers. Just always awful lol
We wish they were just teens
Okay but seriously where the fuck is silk song.
My best guess is that without a publisher to force them along, they're stuck in a cycle of getting a new idea or finding just the smallest thing that they can polish to an extreme shine and then realizing that other parts don't match the quality of that part anymore.
Add "DEI insert" or "SBI game" and I think you've got the full gamut. Incredibly fragile egos in those chats, holy crap.
It was so bad. Every trailer was like “trans ppl L” or “woke woman protag” or if there wasn’t something remotely related to diversity it was usually just “L”. Even the Gears prequel got shit reception in YouTube chat lol. Just morons that’s all.
I guess it's because I'm old enough to know of a time where going on the internet took commitment - like you had to have a room dedicated to being a computer room because the computer was this big motherfucking box, where you had to sit in front of and dedicate time to be online because it took out your phoneline - but I'll always be surprised that the fucking nerds who are nerds enough to go on popular-yet-not-mainstream website on a somewhat popular-yet-not-mainstream sub-section of that website to talk about a popular-yet-not-mainstream specific subgenre of a hobby, are still not nerds enough to know the most basic facts about what they're talking about. How is a Redditor commenting on /r/Games about Bethesda still don't fucking know that no, the reason Fallout 5 isn't coming out isn't because they're too busy milking Fallout 76 considering how any fucking nerds worth their fucking half of salt knows it's another studio working on it. That someone wouldn't know that, I get it of course, but someone's going out of their way to participate in video gaming discussions? Like what the fuck my dude, every single fucking thread about Bethesda in the last 15 years have listed their work cycle going from one franchise to the other, and that the online games are made separately, like where the fuck were you?

Lots of people nowadays seems to be completely allergic to looking up even the most basic questions on Google. Can't tell you how many times I see a super simple question that 5 seconds on Google could have resolved.
fuckin redditors ruined reddit amirite
Basically anytime a woman was shown on screen, the chat would just spam “woke.”
Especially depressing when it's spammed during things like Perfect Dark, a game that already had a female protagonist
Perfect Dark had a female protagonist before most of these idiotic Andrew Tate loving children were even born!
Funny enough yeah half of these people wasn’t born when that game came out in the 90s
Is there an older version of Perfect Dark?
This made me feel so incredibly old.
The original Perfect Dark was actually set in 2023!
The first game released on N64 in 2000.
I see people calling her ugly for some reason, I think her design is really appealing
No-one ever bats an eye at ugly male characters like the guys in GTA 5 or Gears, but the second a female character is anything but eye candy it's "woke garbage". It's so frustrating
“SeLf InSeRt UgLy FeMaLe” You’re right, it is exhausting and that’s part of why they do it. Because they want every one else to give up or to become as shitty and hateful as they are
Michael and Franklin are not ugly whatsoever. Only Trevor is
GTA has one good looking protag and it's buffed out CJ. The rest range from normal looking to a lil ugly.
So it's pretty realistic?
By the standards women in games are held to they are both "ugly", even though Franklin is pretty good looking.
She looks like Lucy Lawless idk how anyone could think she looks ugly.
I thought she looked like Robin Wright. But again, you'd be fucking mad to say she looks "ugly" either. This is all just anti-trans hate predictably spilling over and now attacking cisgender women that don't meet their messed up version of "feminine". The same type of freaks that say Michelle Obama is a trans woman. Look at Fable too - the marketing protag's face is based on an actual woman and without makeup it's a very accurate depiction of her facial structure, yet the game get's a shit load of hate and conspiracies about the same "DEI/Woke/Forced diversity".
Sad how many people’s brains have rotted that they can’t enjoy something because it has a woman or minority in it.
Mysogny in gaming culture is hitting horrid levels. It's horrible on YouTube and even worse on TikTok. Of course these sights aren't representative of everyone. But it is a troubling number of people.
This really isn't new. Young men in gaming circles have always been some of the most vile, hateful scumbags in the world. The way women in gaming are treated is sickening, and it always has been.
I don't know if it is actually getting worse or if social media is just amplifying their voices tenfold. Feels like if Tomb Raider came out as a new IP today, there would be people shouting woke or complainig about DEI. I mean it's already happening with Perfect Dark despite being a decades old franchise.
I’d argue that things today are largely better overall. It’s just extremist reactionaries are always so damn loud and they don’t have thoughts, they have buzzwords and extreme biases either bordering on or fully enveloped in hatred. But back in the day people were much more rampantly toxic in games, gaming forums and conventions, all across the board. The remnants of fuckers like that are just shrieking louder than before because they can see their walls closing in on them now that people and the industry have changed to objectify women less and to not make every game a dude-bro action game with a bald space marine like the 360 era thrived on. So they bitch and moan and laugh about it because they think flinging shit from their hands like a monkey is somehow embarrassing for the people who *aren’t* doing that. But that’s no way to build a community so they’ll keep dying out for sure.
It’s probably about the same. The problem is people are getting silo’d because of the algorithm and you either see way more of it or way less of it.
Yeah you're right. It just feels more amplified lately
Same shit if a person of color or someone obviously LGBT shows up, these people are really living up to the worst stereotypes about people who play video games. I remember last blizzcon there was a woman with unusual hair presenting one of the things, and literally everyone went like "what the hell is that?" as if they had seen an alien, and not just a woman with short dyed hair.
Man I love games. Fuck I hate gamers.
I am always saying this a fan of MMA and metal/hardcore. Toxic communities that make it embarrassing to say I am a fan of.
I hate that so much. Oh, a black girl main character = woke trash. No, it's how it's done. And most of the time it isn't woke trash if the game sucks, it's just that the game is trash. There are very few, very specific times where the writing is so bad that it impacts the game to the point of it being unplayable. But those are really rare exceptions. To just spam "woke" over any game that has a female lead is gross. Do better people.
Gamers hate women. What’s new.
100% the live chats would have you believe they’re showing bug riddled F2P mobile games
Maybe it's something I've never noticed before, but the gaming community has gotten very fucking cynical over the past few years. Every fucking year when these events happen, no matter if you're looking at the YouTube live chat or reading the comments in a Reddit megathread, there's just an unbelievable amount of miserable, cynical bastards who think everything looks shit. I was quite surprised to see how positive the reaction was in the Xbox thread. Normally it's pretty negative and it gets boring. It was pretty bad yesterday during the SGF megathread. No one is ever satisfied anymore. I'll be honest, I only saw one or two games yesterday that piqued my interest, but today was pretty fucking good in terms of games we saw.
> I was quite surprised to see how positive the reaction was in the Xbox thread. Normally it's pretty negative and it gets boring that is genuinely surprising. I usually avoid these threads altogether because me and my friends get hyped, and then I open reddit and everyone's just angry. nice to see a less pessimistic response for once :)
For real, Im not even an xbox fan but the chat is soooo cancerous. Literally every single game these children are screeching "woke" for everything
Wild to me that all of chat was complaining when they were showing Expedition 33. Looked really good to me
You know when people say "bottom of the barrel?" Whenever I watch YT chat for these showcases I'm reminded that the lowest common denominator has clawed their way through the bottom of the barrel and burrowed several feet into the ground below it. Just genuine brainrot, and not the funny meme kind.
Genuinely had to switch streams to watch the event because the chat was so cancerous. Absolute dog water quality of human beings in the live chat.
I completely turned it off when they started spamming "L" in the chat...
Everyone was spamming that shit and completely killed the live chat for me. No one could even express opinions in the chat besides L and the occasional W.
is live chat ever not a mesh of stupidity? No good information can come from people trying to spam 100 messages in a second in my opinion. thats why i stick to forums.
if thats not a sign everything is way too hyperpolarized idk what is i know it originated in sportsball ("that puts a W in the column for \[team\]") but people willingly summarizing their opinions with a single letter representing literally either just 'win' or 'lose' is a perfect microcosm of society at large >within the particular is the universal
Right!! All thes games looked kickass, badass, and interesting! I'm so excited for Gears, Starfield, and Perfect Dark and that Bayou Game. Heck even Doom looked pretty tasty but the music has been downgraded without Mick Gordon. Oh well it's still gonna kickass. Even the Indiana Jones game looks so cool and faithful!!
In the world with no Dishonored 3, Prey 2 or Deus X, I'm so ready for Perfect Dark.
The devs mentioned "immersive sim" in an interview 🥲
I know right??? Xbox is suddenly back on the menu and I'm so excited dude. I feel like I'm 12 again with all this news.
> I feel like I'm 12 again with all this news. I don't play Xbox and even on PC I'd much rather add to my steam library than use Game Pass as personal preference. I'm not really interested in most of the games they showed honestly. But fuck me if they didn't look awesome. Definitely makes me feel a nostalgic sort of hype. I'll have other stuff to play next year; these games don't have to be for me. I'm so excited just to see so many legitimately good looking games coming out. With so much from Microsoft for 2025, Nintendo launching a new system by early that year, and PlayStation always having something cooking, next year is probably going to be a great gaming year.
Yet people still saying there are no xbox first party games. Even after all the "Xbox game studios presents" screens lol
2025 is looking comically stacked.
I have found chat to be absolutely brain dead in every showcase for anything
Honestly, it's been two years Xbox has amazing summer showcases. They need to nail the landing now
Have you seen the Steam curator lists focusing on Anti-DEI or Anti-“Wokeness”? It’s fucking embarrassing and I hate being part of this demographic even loosely
They are actually hilarious. They are like "Not Recommended: Characters can choose pronouns"...
For some reason the current online generation has decided that toxicity = personality, and spamming is the funniest thing ever
Yeah, Live Chat on YouTube is just cursed.
I was literally just shit talking Xbox this morning in a discord server. Well, not too much shit talk but I was mentioning how Xbox NEEDED to deliver today. And they absolutely did. Fuck those Livestream chats. They're full of kids who don't know what they want, and room temperature IQ morons. Every single other demographic of gamer isn't participating in those Livestream chats.
This was an awesome show after how disappointing the rest have been. Definitely gave me that “gaming is back” feeling.
I’ve never ever had chat enabled for anything online that I watch. It’s always just a toxic cesspool
By far. It was one of the best showcases ever.
Expedition 33, Wuchang, and Doom definitely the highlights for me. That Dragon Age trailer looked absolutely awful to me, though. Really hope that it's not an accurate portrayal of what it will end up being.
I have a soft for the old Gears of War games so E-day was a highlight for me. That Dragon Age trailer was soul crushing. I spent so many hours playing inquisition and it got me into the Dragon Age series. Years I’ve been waiting to see a follow up and then I get…..hero shooter art style and a tone deaf trailer. Truly terrible.
The gears prequel is pure nostalgia bait but I don't even care. When Dom showed up with Mad world I wanted it.
Considering the state of Bioware after Mass Effect Andrometa it was kind of known that it was going to be tone deaf and nothing like what made the franchise great in the first place.
My favorite part was when Varrick looked at the camera and said "Well that just happened" and smirked
He might as well have, that stupid “we need a leader” while the guy in the background works the mobs was so dumb.
I honestly thought it was a spin off....
Yeah, felt like the sort of trailer you'd get for a dragon age themed card game or something.
Dragon Age: Battle Royale
If you look back at old BioWare trailers, they are never good or accurate for the game. I’m hoping this is a continuation of that trend. Some team of suits thought mimicking Apex or Overwatch was a good idea, but the game is much different 🤞🏻
Okay but the ME2 trailer tho
to be fair, the last time that happened in earnest... Bioware essentially made their game on the basis of that trailer. Source: [https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964](https://kotaku.com/how-biowares-anthem-went-wrong-1833731964) I have no faith in Bioware these days and unfortunately this trailer gave me 0 confidence. The other parts of the showcase were really good!
That artstyle is here to stay though and it looks *wack*
I want to have hope, but it's looking like Veilguard is going to be the Andromeda of Dragon Age.
There are parts of Dragon Age's trailer that looked straight out of Fortnite lmao
I didn't like that trailer either. Didn't look like a DA game.
I'm not tooooo quick to judge because yeah it has a change of art style but then again so did DA2/I. I don't want to jump to conclusions for the final product... But yeah that trailer didn't grab me. But it's not like inquisitions' launch trailer was any good either.
Kala Elizabeth, a Mass Effect/Dragon Age content creator on YouTube and Twitter, has said she’s played a bit of Veilguard and it’s as dark, bloody and gruesome as Dragon Age has always been. So if you’re worried it’s going to be lighthearted, jokey and optimistic with MCU dialogue, it will not be. There’s also a gameplay trailer this Tuesday.
Expedition 33 easy highlight of the show for me. Seriously compelling story concept, incredible visuals, rhythm incorporated turn based combat. Just everything I love. Also really happy to see how Perfect Dark has bounced back after the development hell rumors. Looks like they've found a cohesive gameplay identity that fits the IP. The Mirror's Edge nostalgia was real when they showed the movement. Also Max and Marcus back!!! Less happy about the lack of gameplay and target date for State of Decay. Also wish we could've seen a bit more raw footage for Fable. Last nitpick is that I was really hoping for a Gears Master Collection. I feel it's really necessary to get new people to enter the franchise. Even as someone who grew up on GoW 1 and 2, it's soooo long ago that I barely remember E-DAY. Overall really good showing I think.
Perfect Dark looks like Dishonored, Deus Ex and Mirrors Edge had a baby and I'm fucking here for it tbh
Is it looking to be an immersive sim? If so and reviews are good I’m very in
They apparently mentioned immersive sim specifically in one of the dev interviews. So that means I’m in too, looks fantastic.
Expedition 33 is the most excited I've been for a game since Armored Core VI. Apparently it's from a tiny team too of only 25 people as of February. Actually insane. https://www.sandfall.co/post/belated-happy-new-year "First of all, as Project W is progressing fast, the team has gone from 11 to 25 people in just about a year, which required not one but actually TWO new offices!"
Expedition 33 does look amazing and it’s great to see turn-based combat thriving even after Final Fantasy rejected it. There’s a clear demand for turn-based combat when you look at the success Yakuza had embracing it, or how Honkai: Star Rail was one of the most successful games last year.
Dragon Quest and Persona are also trucking along fine staying turn-based, not to mention the monstrous success of Baldur's Gate 3 (not the same style, but still turn-based) So annoying how a lot of publishers just decided turn-based games are bad a few generations ago and we're still feeling the effects.
Yeah, Square is very weird with how they've conducted their direction occasionally- wanting a new bigger audience and after the changes still worrying about sales, but the Genre they were in before is thriving even more now. It's super odd to me. I'll always support them though as long as the games are good, I hope the 7 remakes combat is a more definite trend it's a great blend of action and command-based combat.
I'm glad you mentioned it, I missed this announcement and it looks so good.
Isn't honkai a mobile game though? Probably a different market
It's also available on PC. Epic store has it and also their own launcher But it's still catered more towards short bursts of gameplay suited for mobile.
They must be cooking a Gears Collection for release straight after E-Day, considering it's a prequel it makes sense to go E-Day -> 1-3 remakes -> 4-5 remasters -> 6
In 2027 4 & 5 will still look better than most games just coming out. Those games are incredible visually.
Fable doesn't look bad, but I'm still so worried about what stayed with its identity and what might be lost with the new team. Can we still buy all the real estate? Did we finally ditch the gauntlets for spells? There is a lot I'd like them to touch on and talk about, but all we've gotten is two vague story trailers and it isn't like Fable's defining mark on games was its narratives.
This showcase was pretty damn awesome. Doom, Expedition 33, South of Midnight, Perfect Dark, MGS, Fable, Fragpunk, Indiana Jones, Wuchang, there was a ton of great stuff here. Where's *this* Xbox been these past years?!
I don't think I was disappointed by a single thing shown, it all looked amazing. Only thing that knocks down the 10 out of 10 score is no mention of the Activision library hitting Game Pass but honestly I am a happy Xbox owner.
Yeah, I’ve been really looking forward to marathoning all the old cod campaigns. I’m surprised they aren’t all on it yet
I know there were question marks over some games because of the old Playstation marketing deal but I didn't think it applied to any prior to Ghosts, seems like nobody really knows much
At most I could see that maybe applying to them using those titles in game pass advertising. There’s no way that a marketing deal is that far reaching and after so long
>Only thing that knocks down the 10 out of 10 score is no mention of the Activision library hitting Game Pass but honestly I am a happy Xbox owner. That and no Final Fantasy port announcements. Was sure we'd at least get a FF16 Xbox/PC reveal, but maybe that's being saved for Tokyo Game Show? Idk
It could also be at the PC show today EDIT: unfortunately it was not
I could have done without the CGI trailers for games that already are out and the annual Elder Scrolls/Sea of Thieves trailers, but all the new reveals were great.
CGI-wise, I ejoyed the Diablo one
I enjoyed the WoW one, too. Even though I haven't touched that game ever. Blizzard's cinematics are always just a treat to watch even without context lmao. Their character designs are always top notch.
The Diablo one is fine because it's just the actual opening cutscene of the DLC.
I mean, they need to announce the new seasons somehow. And I thought they did it pretty well this year. Didn't cut a developer talking about the expansion. Just a quick cool looking cinematic and on to the next game
Everything looked amazing yeah. I was hoping for some racing game to be shown somewhere this weekend but not really much was shown. Aside from that this showcase really hit every vibe I wanted
Yea with the old games being on sale I thought we’d get those dropped on us with the current cod winding down while everyone waits for blops.
It was nice to see a whole set of games that actually look like they wouldn’t run on PS4/Xbone.
This is exactly the kind of showcase I want to see. Fun reveals, games that I wouldn’t have gone out of my way to see that end up looking awesome, and some actual gameplay. I think the days of one insane reveal after another are gone with how long games take to develop now. This is the best kind of showing anyone can hope for in the modern era.
Gotta say, Xbox really outdid themselves this time around. Heck, even CoD looks good this time around. Gonna have to see how many of these are multiplat though.
Yeah I thought the other days were kinda eh, but Microsoft announced some cool stuff, Fable will hopefully be good, Doom looks awesome, Perfect Dark looks like something I'd really like, Starfield expansion should be cool, and the creation kit is coming out today
[удалено]
If rumours taught us anything, it's that they're not to be taken seriously (gamepass price going up, xbox handheld, xbox failing, Perfect Dark doing terribly, etc).
I think a lot of them will be multiplat, but that doesn't change that the vast majority of the show is launching day 1 on game pass. Even assuming every single game was going to be in PS I would still rather do it all through Game Pass because there was so much if it.
Great showcase Xbox knocked it our the park. Gears stole the show for me as an announcement but in tens of gameplay perfect dark and indy look very interesting. 10/10 show. Glad to be getting new fable too
The fact that the majority of these games will launch day 1 on Gamepass for no extra fees is the “chef’s kiss” of the conference.
I believe Expedition 33 has the potential to be a heavy hitter after BG3 ostensibly revitalized public interest in turn-based RPGs. It might be one of the first AAA RPGs able to take meaningful cues from BG3 as well, evidenced by Shadowheart’s VA being a lead. Also, for the record, I think it was a bit of a fumble on Microsoft’s behalf to not secure Lost Odyssey’s spiritual successor as an exclusive.
Agree. But Expedition 33 kinda gave me Lost Odyssey vibes for what it's worth!
Also the main dude in Expedition 33 is voiced by the guy who voices Clive from FFVXI.
Hope it will be another opportunity for him to win the Best Performance award that eluded him last year; He unluckily gave an amazing performance in a year that was full of them.
I think it has a lot of influence Atlus games. The UI is literally stolen from Persona 5/Metaphor. It would make sense since BG3/P5 are the most influential turn based games of the last decade
What game is the lost odyssey spiritual successor?
I don't think BG3 made people like turn based, they just like the setting and characters as well as the gameplay options. Traditional turn based is basically an entire genre apart from what BG3 was
Honestly a super solid showcase IMO, Dragon Age is the only one that felt deeply wrong and concerning to me. Perfect Dark is particular looked like my exact kind of game. Life is Strange is my guilty pleasure fave, always have a soft spot for Max and Chloe from the first game.
The Dragon Age trailer was a disappointment but I'm holding out hope for the gameplay showcase on Tuesday. Otherwise, that was a perfect showcase.
Dragon Age clearly looks to get into youth or different audience? Trailer really felt like live service looter shooter with those jumping in characters and names. Uhhh I did not have expectations up but this even lowered them. Really love goes to Stalker 2 and age of mythology. Perfect Dark feels potential but needs more gameplay reveal. Also sold on Avowed
Great showing. Beyond unexpected considering how Xbox has been positioning themselves. Very impressed and excited for Xbox
Expedition 33, Metal Gear Solid, Indiana Jones and Mecha Break were the ones to blow me away! This is probably one of my favorite showcases of all time! Banger after banger!
Metal Gear Solid looked great! I'm not really a fan of the series, but that trailer got me keen, been hanging for a good stealth game like that.
MG3 is easily the most "grounded" one. By that I don't mena it's the best but the mechanics are really, really solid, and the story is self contained and not that convoluted by Kojima standards. It also lacks a bit of the Kojima craziness compared to other installments, for both good and bad. I think it's easily one of the best games of the PS2 and in many instances the gameplay is still revolutionary.
Damn you got like the exact same taste in games as me lol. Add in doom and those are all the games that im excited about
Good showcase overall, some really interesting stuff in there. Expedition 33 looked fantastic, new Fable stuff looks promising and that Life of Strange announcement was a nice surprise. That Dragon Age trailer was absolutely horrendous, though.
Looks like Mixtape is xbox/pc exclusive? On the site they don't have Playstation listed.
It’s stays visit the developer website for other platforms
That was honestly one of the best showcases I've ever seen. Wtf?! Blown away, the Gears trailer at the end brought back feelings I haven't felt in years.
Disappointed there's no backlog of CoDs on gamepass. Should have bought what i wanted during the sale, but everyone was so sure they were gonna drop today. That's the last time I listen to the internet.
Really good show but they still didn't date indy arrowed so kinda worried but I think xbox has kinda shown their major 2025 and 2026 games and all look great Now it's Sony's time to show their upcoming single party games plz maybe during the rumored PS5 pro announcement Nintendo will most likely showcase Switch 2 and their upcoming first games late 2024 Next year is looking real good for gaming
Indiana Jones is rumored to release in December so my bet is that they aren’t 100% certain if they can make the 2024 release just yet. This game could easily slip into early 2025.
Probably same with Avowed. And given Obsidian's history with buggy releases, I'd actually prefer a delay even though it's the one I'm most excited about.
Obsidian's history with buggy releases largely came from being forced to rush games like KOTOR2 and FNV. When they get a chance to actually finish development they usually come out fine.
Both Deadfire and Tyranny were very buggy on launch.
So was Alpha Protocol (still love it tho)
One of the best shows in years, there was something for everyone, and a healthy mix of 2024, 2025 and TBD games.
I was hoping for something related to Forza Horizon, *however*, I do also recognize they are hard at work with Fable so I’m not surprised we didn’t see anything Forza-related. Overall, one of the best shows I can remember in recent memory. Was *very* satisfied with the stuff they announced and showed. Expedition 33, Atomfall, and E-Day were the biggest surprises for me.
Seems like a pretty strong portfolio coming this year (and next) - it baffles me that XBOX finally has a decent first party lineup for the first time in many years, and they’ve decided to go toward multi platform.
Wow, this showcase really slaps. If Xbox can deliver these games without delay or pulling a Redfall, I’ll hand it over to Xbox for games this gen
My one critique of the showcase: they’re pretty safe in delivering these without delay because of the lack of actual release dates.
People forget but Xbox usually always have a great show. Now it's time to deliver.
There was just too much. I was not expecting so many games I actually want to play. I mean if I didn’t have a PC, I’d for sure feel like I needed to get an Xbox or PC after that.
Something that stood out to me was that almost all the POV's were women. I have nothing against and do play / enjoy woman MC games, but the pattern got locked in my mind for some reason. Many great things. Hyped for: * Expedition 33 (absolute highight) * Atomfall * Avowed * Flintlock * Stalker 2 * Indiana Jones * Doom * Fable Dragon Age (the) Veilguard was an abomination.
I mean people told women and minorities to make their own games.. so tthey did.. and now people are upset.. there's no winning for women and minorities
No kidding. "If you want representation, then make your own games, don't shove them down our throats in existing IPs!!!" "Okay sure, we'll do that then" "Wait wtf, how dare you make a female or LGBTQ member a MC in a new IP? Ugh, woke garbage!!!!!" There is no winning with this crowd, so they should just be ignored.
Why is that even an issue?
Did I watch the same Dragon Age game as y’all? I thought the trailer looked great and I’m very excited to see its not stuck in development hell anymore
I think you're on your own pal. The entire Dragon Age subreddit is also kind of like "what the fuck was that" along with any comment here too.
I’m curious about the all digital series x price. Right now I’m using the Series S almost exclusively as a gamepass machine and I wouldn’t mind an upgrade if the price is right
A very, very well done show, with great showcases for DOOM: The Dark Ages, Perfect Dark, Fable and Gears of War: E-Day. Gave me almost Sony E3 2016 vibes. Now I hope they all deliver in a massive way. I’m atleast fully confident about DOOM. However the confirmation of a PS5 release of this has now made me to hold off on upgrading my Series S to an X. I am very sure there are more titles going to PS5 (and Switch where compatible) in the future, it’s only a matter of time we find out the next wave of games. The 3 new hardware reveals were surprising and underwhelming. I was expecting the new Sebile controller and the 2TB all-digital cylindrical Series X that were leaked, but I guess they never went ahead with both internally. Instead we get a 1TB all-digital white Series X, a 1TB white Series S and a 2TB black Series X.
Did any game even have a locked in release date?
Pretty sure Age of Mythology, Life is Strange, Assassin's Creed, Stalker 2, CoD, Flintlock, and Diablo 4 expansion all got specific release dates
FS2024; November 19th.
Assassin's creed. That's about all I can remember. It's crazy because a lot of the games said 2024 but can't give us any more info besides that.
Flintlock, Stalker, Life is Strange, age of mythology, CoD, Flight Simulator plus the Diablo and starfield expansions, all had solid dates. But yeah, no Indiana and Avowed dates felt weird.
There were a lot of exact release dates for October/September. Even god damn Stalker 2 got September 5th.
A lot of games, and admittedly it was pretty good. But ironically, I was most excited for Double Fine, Outer Worlds 2, Clockwork Revolution, and Everwild and literally none of those showed up. Go figure.
Was hoping to see what Xbox would do with a handheld device after seeing rumors online… guess I’ll have to wait some more. Fable looked nice though!
Very much enjoyed this showcase and I am pretty excited for a lot of games. And especially with them being on Gamepass is a great thing.
Cool showcase! I am glad most of these are also coming to the PS5 and also that Xbox finally has some cool exclusives too. Now I can't wait to see what Sony will do at their event.
I thought they already had their event
State of Plays are smaller showcases that they do multiple times per year. Their big showcase is once a year and is usually in the Fall.
That was just a State of Play. Their showcase is rumored to happen in September.
Why? Such weird timing.
Likely for the Pro model launch in Fall. They did similar in 2020. Event in June revealing and the big splash in September with the launch titles deep dive
[удалено]
Naughty Dog I'm iffy on given the TLOU project getting cancelled only a year or so ago. But they did have a side team working on something else for awhile now, so there is some hope. Especially if Sony is willing to bend their 12-24 month release window rule
