What a surprise, no gameplay or even proper in-engine footage from Hellblade 2 lol.

 

[Dr Bass]

I love being able to make your own controller design personally. But then I tend to like stuff that is all black anyway.

 

[jonnyp]

Hellblade 2 is not even in full production yet? I guess this is a ways off

 

[Greggy]

Tameem is a completely crazy perfectionist freak. It's like he's trying to make a Mandalorian movie.
That new Microsoft budget is definitely going somewhere.
That's another surefire hit for Xbox.
Exciting generation, folks.

 

[Bartski]

"most western European countries" ok

 

[ResilientBanana]

This is how you cap off your E3.

Paralysis by analysis.

 

[M1chl]

Not sure if I am going to watch it, because I'll wait for summary here, but that dude has amazing voice. Also nice reporting with CEST time, appreciated : )

 

[Deputy Moonman]

I was following the steam for a little bit. Was hoping to see new Halo stuff but have errands to run now. Will have to get the recap from this thread. Psychonauts 2 looks fantastic. Is it me or does it seem like it will be the closest game to Banjo Kazooie that we will get?

 

[Bartski]

no new stalker 2 footage

 

[reksveks]

More of a meta conversation but is this the perfect combination of events for E3 season.

1 event where its basically trailers galore (including some gameplay) but not alot of talking head
1 extra event where you get more time with the dev.

 

[AJUMP23]

The Mongols in AoE4......sign me up.

 

[prinz_valium]

Hellblade II will be sooo good

Take their time after what happen to Cyberpunk all game should take their time it better to make a polish product than a broken mess and face massive backlash.

It’s a brilliant format.

Xbox has been listening to us for sure. I'm thoroughly enjoying the deeper dives.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

God damn!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Shodan09]

Flight sim is a new benchmark for console graphics. Bloody hell.

 

[Shodan09]

It’s a brilliant format.

Yeah this has been great! I had no expectations but I've really enjoyed it.

 

[Banjo64]

Never seen or heard this host either, but yeah he’s not the typical Xbox fake hype man. Very relaxed and assured. I like him

It does feel so damn natural, show the gameplaus and trailers first, then detail them a day or two later. For someone who wants to just see the trailers and gameplays there's the day 1, if you wanna know more, they got you covered as well. I hope other publishers take notice and copy that approach in the future.

 

[Shodan09]

It feels a bit like the first time they did treehouse!

 

[reksveks]

Flight Sim updates look extremely good for a casual like me

 

[shoplifter]

hng support for real actual flight sim hardware

I mean Nintendo has been doing it now for many years with their TreeHouse Live.

 

[Matsuchezz]

The blew it again, boring conference, same old shenanigans.

 

[reksveks]

I hope Hades hasn't blocked remote play like Tetris Effect has

 

[Andodalf]

Did that say medieval dynasty is on console today?

 

[SirTerry-T]

The blew it again, boring conference, same old shenanigans.

Cool...it's nice to have opinions, part of what makes us what we are, right?

still better than all publisher showcases last weekend

This wasn't a conference lol. "extended games showcase"

 

[Kagey K]

The blew it again, boring conference, same old shenanigans.

Called this shit the other day.

This will be one of those conferences that people here just type "boring" and "yawn"

Most people don't give a shit about any of the games enough, nevermind the devs.

This is for ppl that actually like the games and want to know more about the behind the curtain stuff.

They are making a vertical slice. It means two things

1. They are making a portion or sample of each level and proving out all the gameplay
2. They are making a single level with a sample of all gameplay elements.


In some cases that literally becomes the start for game development.

 

[ManaByte]

Imagine pretending that Halo footage doesn't look amazing.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Kagey K]

Halo mulitplayer is the only online game that keeps pulling me in year after year, and this one looks like the most exceptional effort yet.

Something about it gets it's hooks in me and doesn't let go.

 

[Spidey Fan]

People who come here to shit, go back to your manbaby room. this is for people who wants to watch their dev talk. If you want to troll, go smell your own fart.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

This is clearly a show for who care about these games, plan to play them and want to hear what the developers have to say.

 

[Kagey K]

I don't know about them bringing vehicles back into 4v4, but ill give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

 

[CatLady]

Imagine pretending that Halo footage doesn't look amazing.

No Shit! Some fanboys are hilarious, especially fanboys that get over-excited about their cinematic 30 fps games that usually severely lack and/or have really crappy gameplay. I only do campaigns and have no interest in MP, but damn, Halo MP looks amazing, fun, exciting and at 120 fps no less.

They were bought three years ago. What have they been doing all this time? They don't even make their own engine. It almost sounds like they are just getting started.

This is the kind of mismanagement we talk about MS engaging in (Nintendo with Retro too while we are at it, what the heck). I mean, what does Rare do? What has 343i been doing? They just don't produce software at an even decent clip. Why does MS allow them to burn cash and produce nothing? Now the same thing is already happening with Ninja Theory.

And as far as Halo looking "amazing" ... I mean we can agree to disagree. It looks like a 20 year old series that hasn't changed or grown at all. I honestly don't understand how you can be a fan of something and ignore how badly it has stagnated. It's not even made by the original creators and it has shown.

People who come here to shit, go back to your manbaby room. this is for people who wants to watch their dev talk. If you want to troll, go smell your own fart.

Expressing an opinion is not trolling unless you're just trying to rile people up (which more lines up with your verbiage here), I'm watching the show looking for something I want to check out. Because you know, I like video games. The people in here moaning about others not liking what they are seeing needing to keep it to themselves are the same people in other threads dumping on other stuff.

What games have crappy gameplay that you're referring to?
.

 

[KormaChameleon]

Compared to the debut gameplay. It looks bloody gorgeous. I'm glad that MS & 343i made the right call on delaying the game. Could you imagine the backlash on a shitty game on a new console?

 

[Dr Bass]

Can someone post a link to a segment with a timestamp for Halo that is impressive? Please? I've watched the videos and feel like I must have missed something, and I honestly want to see it.

Come play with me, I always need mobile cover to hide behind. You can be my decoy and take some of the heat off me.
