Outcast 2 protagonist looks like a Sitcom Dad.

 

[Orpheum]

After the horrible demo, i'm not too confident about Gothic. However i have incredibly fond memories playing it as a child so i want to give it a chance

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

Outcast 2 looks great

 

[CamHostage]

New game from the Dangerous Driving developer (ex-pats of Criterion's Burnout crew.) Interesting...

 

[danklord]

Wreckreation looks exceptional, great surprise

 

[Kenpachii]

Only thing i want to race is that chick

[CamHostage]

Here's the really good-looking hunting game, Way of the Hunter. (It's by a new studio, but they have ties to Bohemia Interactive and I think also maybe a studio some people might remember called Cauldron?)

 

[fermcr]

Decent show so far... but no release dates.

 

[CaptainSlayAHo]

I can't believe of all the game shows/reveals /whatever you want to call them shown this summer, the thq show has the most current gen exclusives

"He never misses a shot."

Proceeds to miss a shot.

Not seeing anything that is really grabbing me from THQ NORDIQ here, all seems like bargain bin games for me so far, a couple games I'd consider when they are dirt cheap.

 

[CamHostage]

HA! So THQ picked up publishing of the new AEW game? Yukes, making wrestling games, for THQ... It's the 2000s all over again...

EDIT - And South Park?! THQ is back, baybeeee, pull out your flipphone and tell a friend!

 

[mansoor1980]

that host is HOT , love her accent.

 

[YuLY]

For all the money this company throws around, buying this and that...they still only make mostly indie-like or at best AA games with super niche appeal. They are like a Devolver, but actually have billions to throw around...so weird. I dont get it.

Yea no kidding holy shit.

I was kind of thinking the same thing, that or good game pass/ps+ content

 

[TVexperto]

can we get a LIVE tag?

 

[anthony2690]

I think Alone in the Dark was probably the highlight.

But yeah I agree, would be nice day one game pass or ps+ games, or deep sale titles.

 

[ShaquilleOatmeal]

STILL no date for the Gothic 1 Remake?

 

[R6Rider]

can we get a LIVE tag?

It's almost over.

 

[CamHostage]

STILL no date for the Gothic 1 Remake?

Come to think of it, I don't think anything has had a date attached/mentioned? (Even the Spongebob game didn't list a date, and that's a past-gen game) Some of these games are coming up for pre-order though, so maybe THQ might give some kind of timeline at the end or after the show.

 

[March Climber]

Even if you didn't like some of the games shown, this is an absolutely perfect example of what a third party conference/showcase should be. Perfect pacing, perfect amounts of gameplay shown, fun reveals, and perfect amount of information told about a game afterwards to leave you curious enough to look it up yourself. Other third party publishers should study this conference for future reference, especially the publishers that waste people's time with a 30 minute dialogue and barely any footage for 1 to 3 games(we all know who). The AEW segment was the only small misstep, but otherwise this was incredible.

For all it's worth, this show was an A+ in my book.

 

[chromhound]

kinda bland ?...

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

Did they tease a new South Park game?!

 

[mansoor1980]

good show that was to the point with no extra bullshit.
also can anyone ID the girl

 

[El Muerto]

Good variety. But i was hoping we could see more older IPs resurrected.

 

[DragoonWalker]

Outcast 2 and Alone in the Dark have me mildly excited. Gothic, still looks too early for anything but I hope it's good. Jagged Alliance looks fun. Was expecting a bigger show since THQ Nordic owns 1/3 of the industry.

What the hell is the ex-burnout dev team doing? It looks devoid of personality, doesn't look to have proper deformation, and overlap with Stunfest in THQ's product line up which looks infinitely better. They should be working their way back to a proper next gen Burnout, not this bargain bin trackmania.

This was only hope AitD...
but wtf @THQ is this Outcast 2. Is this a Joke.... You ruined my Childhood Memories

I am almost impressed... If I didn't think it was strange how fast you found this woman haha

She has a nice smile though.

[j0hnnix]

Need to see more of Gothic. Alone in the dark looks ok.

Missed the first 30mins so catching up on the stream.

 

[March Climber]

I think they're going to do a slow burn with them. They know that people want these properties back in some form as THQ has a big vault of surprisingly fun games.

Apparently literally nothing of the demo was kept for the remake, since "it was clear they were moving in the wrong direction with that one". Unless the devs lied about it, of course.

You should go play Archolos immediately.

Lots of next gen only stuff in there.

I am confused why THQ invested in two different stunt games (they have differences, but they also look pretty cannibalistic.)

It's a small team though, and getting into procedural generation and UGC makes sense. Plus, this is still in their wheelhouse of expertise (there's a lot of Crash Mode in this concept,) and the description reads like there's still a lot of traditional open-world driving systems in there too, so it could work.

I would assume Dangerous Driving 2 evolved into Wreckreation (it feels unlikely they could be making both?) Maybe they just got into a pitch for an "indie-made Burnout Paradise" for a publisher and ran into a wall with the moneymen where "just" driving fast on real streets wasn't enough, and adding on rollercoaster tracks suddenly pushed it to the next level.

 

[Fbh]

Oh, ha, Outcast 2, I almost forgot about this game, but I'm looking forward to it.

Interesting, I thought the new Outcast was coming to all platforms (including Switch) but now they only list next-gen+PC.

Never played the original but that looks pretty fun.
They are also talking about focusing on exploring on your own and progressing the story in a non linear way which sounds nice.

 

[VeganElduderino]

I got horny for a second ! I tought we were getting Wreckfest 2 ..

 

[Sentenza]

Abysmal streaming quality aside, in the end there were more games I’m tentatively interested here than during the entire June if Not-E3.

 

[GreenAlien]

This might have been the best showcase this year..

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

DAH 2 and SB2 looks great

 

[kiphalfton]

This might have been the best showcase this year..

I know the host is pretty hot amirite.

 

[Kataploom]

Stream should start in a few hours

Definitely gonna watch it, stuff like theirs is what I've liked more this gen
