[Not_A-Cop_Maybe]

Been reading some of the comments and some of yall are weird as fuck. Its automatically DEI when theres a woman or a black character in the game or the main character but y'all go crazy for some as a Big titted, scantlily outfitted asian chick who fights robots and monsters in some dystopian future. Y'all seriously need to step outside and touch some grass. A lot of it.

Also, this has been one of the best showcases in years- regardless of MS, Sony or Nintendo.
There's probably been the widest array of game genres shown and a shit ton of games being published by MS alone. If any of them do/eventually come to Playstation, forget whether its good for Microsoft or whatever, there finally seems to be more than the typical Souls like, horror-esque, live service, remake clones that have been being released in the last 5-10 years. If anyone wins, its us as gamers. There were so many games shown today that will come to game pass alone that will give me a choice to try. Im hyped for that alone.

Also, the new COD is 310 GB. God help you if you have shit internet.

I'll play campaign on cloud. 3 GB per hour.

Not downloading 310 lol.

 

[March Climber]

Those new CoD movement systems...

 

[TVexperto]

where was the handheld?

 

[aliadiere25]

Not downloading 310 lol.

I have no clue how they allow their games to get that big. They must understand that not everyone has amazing internet or the storage to put it on their consoles or whatever. It's basically half of the PS5's storage.

 

[adamsapple]

Show is a solid A.

But I am a little disappointed that there was no Visions of Mana release date or some more BC stuff.

 

[clarky]

Damn COD does look great.

 

[j0hnnix]

Am I allowed to talk about warzone.

 

[LordCBH]

Show is a solid A.

But I am a little disappointed that there was no Visions of Mana release date or some more BC stuff.

I honestly thought they’d have some more RPG’s at this thing.

 

[Ristifer]

I haven’t been able to keep up with everything. Was there a new AoE 2 expansion announced? Or was that just a rumour?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Show is a solid A.

You were never giving it any less my good man

 

[JimRyanGOAT]

BO 6 looks great

 

[adamsapple]

You were never giving it any less my good man

Looking at the GAF poll, doesn't look like it was a controversial choice at all

 

[bender]

[Bartski]

bto that was sick what a win for Phil right there

 

[Varteras]

Is Everwild dead?

 

[hinch7]

Need to watch the first half but I like what I'm seeing from Xbox/MS. Lots of games finally.

 

[March Climber]

Show is a solid A.

My hope is that they show more stuff in their usual extended gameplay showcase, but I can't seem to find the time for this. Are they not having one this year?

 

[Calverz]

Xbox has gone from no games, to too many games now. I wish I was a teenager again with no responsibilities and a gamepass subscription. Fuck

 

[Salz01]

Excellent show. They needed this honestly 2 years ago… probably would have changed things.

 

[adamsapple]

My hope is that they show more stuff in their usual extended gameplay showcase, but I can't seem to find the time for this. Are they not having one this year?

Not a stream, this year they're dividing it into podcasts across the week. Probably gonna have devs from the games they announced on each one.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

It was a decent showing. The standards have been so low especially this week it’s to be expected at some point.

It will all even itself out in the end my fellow green gentleman. I’ve seen it all before.

Agreed it’s just silly to be triggered by any hint of diversity at this point: I will say though that creators kind of need to ensure the quality of their product is high enough such that it shuts up the anti-woke crowd. Give me great art direction, writing and gameplay and I don’t care if it’s a big boobed Korean hottie or a Subaru driving red head with no heterosexual appeal whatsoever.

 

[jorgejjvr]

They said 12 maps at launch? Where's the other 4. For bo6

 

[havoc00]

 

[Mr Moose]

The dickheads have added BO6 pre-order to MW3 when you press down to select game mode, now you have to press it again.

Did they give him a chair?

[Punished Miku]

So whats next? IGN spencer interview?

 

[geary]

Is there any other showcase tonight?

 

[adamsapple]

Is there any other showcase tonight?

PC Games Show I think, then Ubisoft tomorrow.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

it's a prequel to a prequel (Judgement). No remasters announced

Oh judgement is a prequel? Shows how much I know about the series.

Shame about the rest though.

 

[havoc00]

There were some no-shows this year. Games which are announced or that we've heard are coming that weren't shown:

-Project Mara
-Contraband
-Everwild
-The Outer Worlds 2
-Clockwork Revolution
-Fallout 3 Remaster
-Oblivion Remaster

Definitely felt like they held some stuff back for later shows.

 

[Moonjt9]

There were a lot of games. Honestly that was really good.

No Silksong though. It’s actually painful now.

 

[splattered]

Guess they're saving BC announcements, Xbox portable, GoW collection etc for later in the year?

 

[March Climber]

So whats next? IGN spencer interview?

PC Gaming Show Conference

 

[SF Kosmo]

Overall much better than State of Play or SGF. Decent amount of stuff I care about, even if a lot of it wasn't new announcements. I'd give it a B+ overall, but in a dead year like this it feels better.

• More Doom is good. I'm ambivalent about the medieval direction, but I expect it to be great like the last two.
• Perfect Dark has gone from a game I give zero shits about to an interesting looking im-sim
• Stalker 2 looks real and good now, and I can actually believe this release date.
• Indiana Jones is gonna be fun
• Fable looks great, and a little more like a real game
• Flight Sim 2024 is gonna eat all my time for like a month

On the negative/mixed front:

• I'm totally burnt out on Gears of War and the whole cover shooter genre so unless it's a radical reinvention I don't really care.
• Avowed looks better than it has in past showings but I am still expecting it to be mid. At least it will release on a dead year.

Is Everwild dead?

Was it ever even alive?

 

[Mr.ODST]

Guess they're saving BC announcements, Xbox portable, GoW collection etc for later in the year?

This is what I taken from it, Holiday season would be the perfect chance to announce an Xbox Portable with BC games being added or remakes, MS shown ALOT today, obviously they need to spread their announcements out through the year or they end up like Sony's SoP where they show one banger and a ton of indies because they already exhausted stuff earlier in the year.

 

[manfestival]

Pretty solid show since the variety and game options were there.

 

[TheMan]

was hoping for a return of dmz but oh well

great conference overall

 

[Antwix]

Is there any other showcase tonight?

PC games showcase starts in 1 hour

 

[Fess]

This was awesome!! And Gears was just perfection with that mad world soundtrack throwback from the first Gears trailer!

 

[Ogbert]

Y’all y’all y’all y’all y’allllllll

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

I am very very impressed by the pacing - despite having updates and indies it still had a really good pacing. Impressive stuff.

 

[Gudji]

Is Everwild dead?

They still trying to find the gameplay.

 

[MH3M3D]

I just hope they don't fuck it all up again with endless delays and cancellations.

 

[Roberts]

I loved the show. My highlights were (approx order of preference):

Shattered Space
Perfect Dark
Fable
South of Midnight
Doom
Stalker
Flintlock
Expedition 33
Mixtape
FragPunk

I didn't particularly like Avowed and Indy trailers, but I know I will be there day 1 when they drop.

 

[Kings Field]

Great showcase. Looking forward to playing some of these and at least trying some of them.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Here's a nice wrap-up video for those of us who couldn't watch live.

 

[Not_A-Cop_Maybe]

Y’all y’all y’all y’all y’allllllll

Sorry i used "Y'all" to convey in the same tone and language you pearl clutching clowns are used to .

that gif is me when i have to read you blame DEI in every single comment for the last few days.

 

[Stafford]

I really hoped for FF16 to get announced and hell maybe even FF7R, but that one is less likely. I guess GC or TGS are still possibilities.
