"Team Bloober has revealed that the hardware limitations of the current-gen made it impossible for them to implement the core features of The Medium... With super-fast SSDs and higher capacity RAMs, games can have two completely different worlds with different assets, and players can switch between them on-the-fly."

Was one of the more interesting games shown. Looking forward to actual gameplay.
 
But didn't GAF tell me that it will take up to 4 years until we see nextgen only games on Xbox series x?
It was only first party games, for 1-2 years depending if that Microsoft quote was from when it was said, or from when next gen started. But yeah i have noticed a few people over the last few days start twisting it to mean 3rd party as well, which it clearly isnt.
 
Maybe its something to with rapid scene changes like in the trailer, but honestly - I'm getting sick of zero gameplay trailers.
 
I'm so down for some next gen survival horror. This and Scorn got me sooo pumped rn.

$15 a month and I just get these games too. Fuck yes. I'm going to get the Xbox logo tattooed on my forehead.
 
If this and Scorn are the level of graphics we get from early AA next gen only games, then i can certainly accept that. This looks pretty damn good graphically, and Scorn looks amzing imo.
 
The Medium and Scorn are both XsX console exclusive, I believe. Probably wasn't communicated clearly enough but it was floated out there on Thursday

 
I like it .. and that soundtrack when I first heard it I knew a silent hill taste in it hope the gameplay is great or as good as Alan wake at least

No interest in it or scorn...most of the game reveals fell flat for me. Nothing impressed me. That's just a personal thing though...I'm sure they have an audience.
 
Can't wait to play on PS5 after a year...

I doubt the exclusivity period will be that long. More like 6 months.

Not to be funny but given the state of the global economy thanks to Covid this next gen is gonna get off to a slow start sales-wise. So trying to float solely on sales from a single platform... not easy.

I don't know.... after that Blair Witch game.... they have a lot to prove.
I didnt like Blair Witch. I thought it was atmospehric, and looked great, but i dont know, how do you make a game about the Blair Witch when even 3 films have failed at it lol.

It's really hard... but they tried and failed... and I bought it on Steam. :messenger_loudly_crying:
 
Steadfast Xbox console warriors eating more crow?

No this isn't a console war post, just wait for info before fighting against the tide.
So Xbox fans will end up eating crow if the game isnt very good?, isnt that the same for any game?. Shall people just not discuss games until they release and we can check if they any good?
 
This makes sense, it seems like the traveling between the 2 dimensions it's essential part of the gameplay, and with the fidelity they seem to be going for, it would probably have load times between them unless heavily downgrade. I would assume this at least.

It looks like The Messenger's time mechanic, like you will need to switch between them to find new paths to progress and stuff constantly.
 
How do we get this game then? It's confirmed Xbox series x only and not coming to Xbox one. It also comes to launch.
It's just a console exclusive, but you are wanking off just to the idea that Sony owners have to wait 12 months.

I can just get it on PC. Why is this such a big deal for you?

No.

In the thread about 'gameplay' during the Xbox inside event and this topic, people were rushing to the defence of Xbox, incorrectly, then ended up with red faces when Greenberg apologised.

We're all chomping at the bit for info, no need to shoot people down just to end up with egg on their face
 
Woah, I wasn't expecting that. I'm rather interested, especially because of the atmospheric soundtrack from the dude who did the Silent Hill music. If they can back that up with gameplay it'll be superb.

Also good to see 3rd party devs doing what they need to do to deliver the vision (dropping last gen). I wouldn't want them to feel pressured to cater for the One.
