Maybe, but I'm really looking forward to Two Point CampusWouldn't that have been even more filler though? There was already quite a bit.

If I knew the answer to that I wouldn't be telling you, I would be on the phone to Bethesda...What would have been evolution for you?
I think evolution for something like this would have been hard to convey to be fair. I think there's a chance there's some really good QoL improvements in there. What were you hoping for?
Red Dead 2 - best and most detailed world and sandbox ever made.I'm not backtracking. It's exactly what I expected to see. I still think it'll be a huge hit for Xbox and get lots of critical acclaim.
I've never said it's going to be the best thing ever or push the needle though. Haven't hyped Starfield up much at all to be fair.
On that innovation front, outside of BOTW2 and maybe Elden Ring (though even that I'm not convinced), what games have pushed the needle in recent years? I'd argue that should be the biggest criticism of Sony too - really high quality games with high production values, but usually very formulaic.
Diablo 4 will be coming to PS5/PC mate, not exclusive to Xbox. So you can cross that off tooWas hoping to see some news on Avowed, though I guess the 12 month thing means that hope was never getting fulfilled. Didn't really see anything I'll lament not playing there except Diablo 4.
Starfield looks like more of 2010s Bethesda, which was always likely but still very disappointing.
Xbox fans dep..?Funny seeing Xbox fans dep
Red Dead 2 - best and most detailed world and sandbox ever made.
God of War - one shot camera and some of the slickest combat seen at that stage.
The Last of Us 1/2 - Probably the best story game ever produced by a triple A studio.
Elden ring like you said. Hell even Horizon blew me away with the facial animations and dialogue. I think there’s been plenty of innovations across the board but Bethesda constantly let us down. I absolutely love Skyrim (probably my fav ever game) but it came out 11 years ago, they should be making massive strides in the years that have gone. Starfield just doesn’t represent as much progression as I hoped we’d see. You’re right about one thing though, it will still end up a bestseller regardless.
Not sure what I was going to say there, think a hangover from a previous life?!?Xbox fans dep..?
Not sure I'd agree with the innovation of Red Dead 2 or TLOU personally. They follow the same formulas as tons of games before them but execute on certain things better than anything that came before them. Not sure they brought anything new to the table. Maybe TLOU really showed the industry that a narrative driven game could sell shit loads and compete with other mediums for it's storytelling but I think that's a stretch.
GOW probably a fair one with the one shot camera. Good to add to the list. Brilliant game. Even if we did agree on those, it's a handful of games from the past 9 years..
Horizon is super polished but there's nothing innovative about it.
I think I’ll look at one in 2/3 years time by which point there should be 5/6 good games to play. I wouldn’t say theres much right now though for me personally.Bit by bit Xbox is looking like something worth getting.
There was a huge amount of games. No show is every going to be all great. Even if just 20-30% of stuff there is something you will play or try I think that’s good enoughI mean, that was a bad showing... What can I say?
Was referring to Starfield, show was a bit meh too but I'm sure if you have GP it's a lot more compelling.There was a huge amount of games. No show is every going to be all great. Even if just 20-30% of stuff there is something you will play or try I think that’s good enough
cheers, my bank account rejoicesDiablo 4 will be coming to PS5/PC mate, not exclusive to Xbox. So you can cross that off too
Nah, I wouldn't expect much from Tuesday's show. I thought they should have managed expectations for today - nevermind Tuesday!They have another showing on Tuesday.
More of what we've seen today, or maybe more of the future rather than the next 12 months
Yeah Forza looks incredible. Huge step up. Disappointed it's next year though.Forza Motorsport immediately looks more enjoyable to play than Gran Turismo. Of course the usual crowd here could never admit it to themselves though
Wouldn't take anything from today. They cut today a bunch of clips and there wasn't actually that much action or gunplay in them. Hard to tell how much of your time will actually be in combat.Ugh, not thrilled that Starfield looks way more shooter than I'd expected. Was hoping it'd be more No Man's Sky with a story than Fallout: Planets.
Yeah there's only AoE4,Starfield and Hellblade coming for me. Hopefully it'll get better in a year or 2I think I’ll look at one in 2/3 years time by which point there should be 5/6 good games to play. I wouldn’t say theres much right now though for me personally.
But NMS is in VR, that cannot be topped unless Bethesda were to follow suit. Which they probably would have done but can't see XBox allowing it as things stand.Not enough on Starfield to tell much from, but the combat alone will make it more interesting than No Man's Sky. If they can do No Man's Sky but better and with a Skyrim level world I'll be very happy. They'll need interesting planets though. Hopefully not all barren.
Did they show AoE4 today? I couldn't believe it wasn't shown today with a console version. Maybe they're struggling to make it work well with a controller.Yeah there's only AoE4,Starfield and Hellblade coming for me. Hopefully it'll get better in a year or 2
They'd be absolutely creaming themselvesYeah Forza looks incredible. Huge step up. Disappointed it's next year though.
Looks much better here in 4k than it did live in muddied 1080p. @afrocentricity would be buying a new £500 racing setup for it if had GT's name plastered over it.
Makes no odds to me, but it would be very cool to try.But NMS is in VR, that cannot be topped unless Bethesda were to follow suit. Which they probably would have done but can't see XBox allowing it as things stand.
Guessing somebody on PC will mod it onto VR? But yeah.. I wouldn't expect proper support until VR becomes mainstream enough that Microsoft put 3rd party VR support on Xbox.But NMS is in VR, that cannot be topped unless Bethesda were to follow suit.

It does indeed!Yeah Forza looks incredible. Huge step up. Disappointed it's next year though.

They didn’t show it here. They announced it last year i think, that it’s coming to console.Did they show AoE4 today? I couldn't believe it wasn't shown today with a console version. Maybe they're struggling to make it work well with a controller.
If they did show it, I totally missed it.
It's because it's a PS exclusive. Everything gets overrated to the hilt.Never really understood this one. I found God of War's combat very average compared to proper action games like DMC and Bayonetta
Don't think so. I was waiting for it tooDid they show AoE4 today? I couldn't believe it wasn't shown today with a console version. Maybe they're struggling to make it work well with a controller.

Plenty of PS exclusives have been panned by critics and gamers.It's because it's a PS exclusive. Everything gets overrated to the hilt.
AOE4 is great, the developers knocked it out of the park. no clue how they’d make it work with a controller. And you really wouldn’t want to cross play with a KB+mouse playerDid they show AoE4 today?

I’m a PS/PC guy but gamepass is insane value and is tempting me to pick up an Xbox. It’s surely one of the best things in gaming with all the first party games being day 1 and also a ton multi plat games on there too.Bit by bit Xbox is looking like something worth getting.
I didn't say it's not good. It's just funny how each platform's games are viewed with a totally different lens. Mostly on here obviously, but it's also pretty evident everywhere. Things that aren't particularly special get hyped up and things that aren't very good overlooked. Seems to be the other way around for MS.Plenty of PS exclusives have been panned by critics and gamers.
God of War is mint though, and the PC version got unanimous praise too, just look at the steam reviews.
I think looking toward 2023 if Microsoft pull it out of the bag with all these games then it is definitely going to put the series x and Gamepass in a really strong position and make it almost impossible to justify not having a subscription to the service. Hopefully they do nail it. Starfield looked a little disappointing but there is still time.
You said it’s overrated though. So… how? I mean, if every platform of it is universally well received then… no, they’re the wrong ones, not the guy who hasn’t played it.I didn't say it's not good.

I didn't say the game was overrated. I said it's no surprise an aspect of it is on here, consideringYou said it’s overrated though. So… how? I mean, if every platform of it is universally well received then… no, they’re the wrong ones, not the guy who hasn’t played it.
You're sort of answering your own question. GoW is so overrated that even a few people saying they didn't like it gets fans out to say b-b-but we all loved it, look at the scores!You said it’s overrated though. So… how? I mean, if every platform of it is universally well received then… no, they’re the wrong ones, not the guy who hasn’t played it.
like Ms flight sim, didn’t enjoy it personally, not for me, but I wouldn’t call it overrated, because most critics and people seem to love it.
