Don't care about any of these games but I'm sure lots of people do, so that's a good thing.

Microsoft saving PS5 single handed is the biggest news here. Sony in BIG trouble once again. How about some games Sony?

None of these games will sell amazingly well on PS5.

Decently at best.

 

[Shaki12345]

This format is great, but we have Nintendo to thank for that.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Xbox is publishing NG4 .. so yes that's definitely an XGS game.

Really? Lol interesting it's on PlayStation, too big to ignore

I guess that means Stellar Blade is PlayStation studios too huh?

That's the logic that people have used on me when I tried to argue against it

 

[Kvally]

I love the public voting for this thread.

 

[cormack12]

Interested in all of it
Good format

That is all

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Then you are being logically inconsistent yourself

 

[Mister Wolf]

An "A" no question.

 

[nial]

Ninja Gaiden 4 is a XGS game, and Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade are PS Studios games.
Warriors need to shut up about this already.

Ninja Gaiden is a XGS game, and Rise of the Ronin and Stellar Blade are PSS games.

People can't help themselves

 

[DanielG165]

A+++

Ninja Gaiden and Ryu made the entire show. The rest were just icing on the cake.

 

[Mr Moose]

These are all Xbox Games Studios, so it feels perfectly accurate calling it an Xbox Direct.

[Elbereth]

Considering the state of XBOX in general, this was a surprisingly solid showing. B+ from me.

[Jigsaah]

Team ninja, platinum, and that French studio is Xbox game studios now?

Don't pay the extremes any mind.

Compulsion and ID are 1st party. Rest are 3rd party. It's not that hard.

 

[TBiddy]

C.

It shows how mediocre Xbox has become and how they can only rely on nostalgia from the most dedicated fans.

The only reason I didn't give a D is because I somewhat liked the art direction of South of Midnight and Clair Expeditions or whatever it's called.

I love how you try. A for effort!

That said, none of the games really looked like something for me, so based entirely on that, it was mediocre.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

F. There was only one Strong Woman Protagonist game. Last year we got like 15 of them.

 

[adamsapple]

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Try what? These games are coming to PS5, it's just another 3rd party/Playstation showcase.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I have to wonder if some of you are even fans of videogames, or just fans of licking corporate boots

 

[Zacfoldor]

I didn't watch it, did they announce South of Midnight for PS5 or is that still Xbox console exclusive?

 

[Aion002]

A.

I love KT games and I love Ninja Gaiden.

Also, that Clair Obscure game seems cool.

 

[TBiddy]

Try what? These games are coming to PS5, it's just another 3rd party/Playstation showcase.

"It shows how mediocre Xbox has become and how they can only rely on nostalgia from the most dedicated fans." Two of the games shown are entirely new, one of the games is a PC franchise originally and of the last two, only one is a remake. How is that pandering to the "most dedicated fans"?

I could understand your reasoning if they had shown only Halo, Fable and Forza.

 

[Judge Magister]

D oom

Don't care about Xbox but Ninja Gaiden surprise announcements were cool. And The Dark Ages is going to be fire.

 

[Fess]

That was awesome. But I save the A for something truly legendary, so B it is this time.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

warriors in here really trying way too hard, you know neither corp actually gives a shit about you right? Just enjoy the games instead of creating all these insane mental gymnastics arguments in an attempt to detract.

 

[TheTony316]

Nice third party showcase.

 

[Calverz]

C from me

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Doesn't matter what I think it scored. I'm still an avenger

 

[Lucifers Beard]

It was really good! This is what I want to see from showcases. Games coming soon and not years away and maybe a shadow drop. Great show.

 

[Topher]

Great show. I'm not a Ninja Gaiden fan, but looks like it is going to be fantastic for those who are.

Firmly in the "wait and see" spot for South of Midnight. Compulsion has a lot to prove and, unfortunately, they have to fight past the SBI stank.

Expedition 33 still looks amazing. That's going to be a day one for me. Look forward to getting Plat on that one.

Doom stole the show though. Every thing about that game looks amazing.

 

[GymWolf]

Not personally interested in most of the games, but you can't give less than a B with new doom and ng4, 33 also look good.

If they also showed fable i could have gone with an A.

Ninja Gaiden en Doom were the big titles, which rely on nostalgia predominantly.

The rest wasn't really noteworthy, except maybe that Clair game.

And me talking about Xbox is the same as me talking about EA or Ubisoft.
People need to realize that's how the industry is going to be going forward.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Microsoft showcases a bunch of third party games not developed by their studios = A+

Sony showcase has a bunch of third party games not developed by their studios = worst generation ever

 

[vaibhavpisal]

S - Tier

 

[SEGAvangelist]

If you don't rate it an A, you're a hater or don't play games at all. That was a great showing, and Game Pass is looking strong this year.

Microsoft showcases a bunch of third party games not developed by their studios = A+

Sony showcase has a bunch of third party games not developed by their studios = worst generation ever

A Concord revival would have helped.

[TBiddy]

Ninja Gaiden en Doom were the big titles, which rely on nostalgia predominantly.

So by that logic, every new entry in a franchise shows how the publishers rely on nostalgia predominantly. That makes absolutely perfect sense. Thanks.

 

[Magic Carpet]

That was A.

 

[Hudo]

It was a pretty good show. B-

 

[Antwix]

A. Doom looked great, same with Expeditions. South of Midnight is whatever, not interested. Ninja Gaiden looks amazing. Plus I love seeing the words "Play Anywhere". About time they actually started mentioning it.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

So by that logic, every new entry in a franchise shows how the publishers rely on nostalgia predominantly. .

Not at all, but for these specific games, yes.

 

[Lokaum D+]

dust

meanwhile Sony

 

[March Climber]

Solid B+.

Very informative content on all titles shown, two pleasant surprises, extensive gameplay deep dives, and all release dates announced. The only thing it was missing was just a bit more. I'm not sure how they could do it but I would add a couple of high profile indie or AA to this next time.

That way you could get the AAA, Japanese game, and high profile AA/indie as a big bang to start the year.

 

[Evil Calvin]

How many are day one on PS5? I think the only one which won't be, is South of Midnight which is by Compulsion Games and is an Xbox studio and a new IP. Doom is by ID Software but has always been multiplatform. Sandfall Interactive is 3rd party, as is Platinum Games.

 

[Ceadeus]

Jesus Christ it won't ever be better than this personally, Ninja Gaiden is so important to me it's an immediate S rank I feel rejuvenated today, no kidding.

We've been waiting for this for so long.

 

[MayauMiao]

Didn't watch because I expect a typical Xbox failure show.

 

[Senua]

Microsoft showcases a bunch of third party games not developed by their studios = A+

Sony showcase has a bunch of third party games not developed by their studios = worst generation ever

You're eternally salty

 

[TBiddy]

Not at all, but for these specific games, yes.

And we both know why that is.
