obsidian made avowed looked like it's done by piranha bytes. Perhaps they feel the need to send them a tribute lol. It really doesn't look promising at all.

 

[Mister Wolf]

These people want to show themselves more than the fucking videogame. Shit is crazy. Ninja Theory has to be the number one most pretentious game developer.

 

[saintjules]

Is he a Yakuza member?

 

[Carmen Winstead]

When did games stop being about fun and gameplay and more about feelings, 'lived experiences' and mental illness?

We really living in the worst timeline.
Everything is so pretentious nowadays.
The little combat they showed did not look much better than the shit they provided in the first game.

Graphics look great and story might be good but I also want to PLAY a good game if I'm spending 70 bucks on it.

 

[SlimySnake]

Great to hear that they changed the combat. interested to see if its improved.

I dont care if its 4 hours or 6 hours or 12 hours. It needs to be good. FF16 was 60 hours and it sucked despite having probably the best 15 hours of the year in there somewhere. I am so sick and tired of 30-50 hour campaigns. The stories these games are telling just cant last what is effectively 3-5 seasons of episodes. If this is 6 hours then i wouldnt mind spending $10-15 for it on gamepass.

 

[Krieger]

This Mana game looks worse than Tales of Berseria, and that was a PS3/4 game.

 

[onQ123]

Who the hell gave Square my number? Interrupted me when I was watching the Xbox Direct

 

[Sacred]

Typical whining and complaining from the same fanboys in here. Just going to enjoy the conference and ignore the utter ridiculousness in here.

 

[TidusYuna]

Koichi still pullin

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Kocihi looks like a bad ass mofo

 

[Laptop1991]

Avowed doesn't look great to me, not actually bad but it just seems a little off, the game play might be good, but the art style seems a little bit poorer than i would expect from Obsidian.

 

[Calverz]

Hellblade 2 looked amazing.

 

[GHG]

Leather jacket slicker than Jensen's.

 

[Bernoulli]

Xbox is really pushing mobile gaming

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Hellblade 2, a PlayStation exclusive that's is only on Xbox ecosystem. Got to have a walking simulator too. No matter what, that what the reviews will complain about and give it a 6 out of 10

 

[Null Persp]

Koichi Ishii, boss of Square Enix tojo clan

 

[Kings Field]

Finally a good game shown

 

[LostDonkey]

He's wearing his rivals dog tag round his neck like a trophy.

 

[SJRB]

Still got jack shit to show with Hellblade except the trite motion capture stuff we've seen three times already.

Ridiculous.

 

[Mr Moose]

Is he a Yakuza member?

Nvidia GPU reseller.

 

[rofif]

Better than avowed and more gameplay than hellblade... but still not the best showing for square enix

 

[MacReady13]

No

We are ALL a character when that character is a female. We are all NOT a character when it is the same generic white guy. This is woke gaming today…
Also, is it meant to be a game we control or a short movie we watch? I want gameplay, not fucking movies.

 

[jshackles]

Can't wait to ride on Pickle

 

[bender]

They should have spaced out the Senua and Mana sections.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

Hellblade 2 cutscenes are pretty, but show us the videogame already.

 

[Senua]

Looks like a switch game with better iq

 

[jshackles]

Can't wait to ride on Pickle

 

[Calverz]

This weeb stuff is taking up too much time. Where is my bro shooter already?

 

[Dazraell]

Mana looks interesting but dayum, that presentation for it drags for way too long

 

[Del_X]

How much to steal Koichi's look?

 

[Orbital2060]

Avowed looks great.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

SE
notes:

1. show dont tell.
2. this japanese creator is so yakuza
3.it seems like an internal PR/marketing presentation.

 

[Jigsaah]

I loved the Mana series back in the PS1 days...I'm not sure this is really for me...at 42. I'm more interested in Granblue honestly. I'll still give everything shown today a try...though I'm only really considering buying Hellblade 2 on Steam.

 

[Hudo]

Can't wait for Visions of Mana.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Like what they showed here with Visions of Mana.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Not sure about you guys, but GAF forum has slowed to a crawl.

 

[Ribi]

Visions of but hole

 

[balls of snow]

Hellblade 2 is straight fire. Expecting
a Plague Tale Requiem level experience. Avowed looks ehhh but still gonna try it on the strength of Obsidian pedigree.
if Indiana Jones looks good then yeah cool lineup for 2024.

 

[ShaikhCroft]

Am I the only one who liked Avowed? I think it upgrades a lot since last showing!

 

[JackMcGunns]

Hellblade 1 was an amazing game. Didn't play it with headphones, but with surround sound it was an outstanding experience all the same.
I actually loved the combat as well.

HB2 seems to be the same, with some upgrades.
But that's all it is, more of the same. It'll be a great game, but not the system-seller people were claiming it's going to be.

Like you said, Hellblade 1 was an amazing game, and if the developer said they had very good ideas that they couldn't really implement because of their limited budget and are now given practically an unlimited budget, wouldn't you be excited to see those results? I think that's the impression, everyone is really excited about it and it's now an Xbox exclusive. I don't think sales figures have ever been brought up.

 

[BoxFresh123]

No pressure Indy

 

[Represent.]

lmao that game looked like absolute trash

 

[LordCBH]

"That's Dan we started in his basement"

Mufukka no one cares

 

[SJRB]

Bro stop talking and show your goddamn game. What the hell is this?

 

[Oberstein]

Xbox...

 

[Krieger]

Ara is so far the best looking game, but isn't that a PC game, cause who the fuck plays strategy games with a gamepad? Someone needs to tell Oxide to make games for the Xbox, not PC.

 

[cormack12]

This looks really good.

 

[GHG]

Ara looks right up my alley.

Hopefully it has a decent amount of depth and isn't dumbed down like most recent games in the genre.

 

[LostDonkey]

Fuck sake where are all the sexy video game girls
