Man.. no wonder why there is a talk of xbox going third party. what the fuck shove that aura ara aoura up your ass. god damn so annoying and so boring. 15 mins of shit talk OH MY GOD IMMA HANG MY SELF !!

 

[Jigsaah]

You know what, i went to make a sammich while listening to this presentation, expecting it to be a dud. But I mean I like Stellaris...this seems similar

I might give it a go. Not a priority but...I'm staying open minded.

Would be great if game studios would just focus on showing the game and stop trying to be popular faces of the studio. NO other product line has companies promote their products showing office staff trying to chum it up. even movie studios dont do this showing "Hey, here's out new movie, lets talk to the lighting crew and VFX desk guys doing the CGI trying to be personalities"

You can showcase double the time of the game if the people got less face time.

It's called developer direct for a reason. Devs and key staff members discuss aspects of their game.

Lmao turning standard grand strategy/4x elements into diversity box ticking nonsense.

 

[rofif]

OH GOD YOU KNO THAT LADY IN A HAMMOCK IS A HELL OF A BASTARD IN the office lol... stay away

 

[Generic]

I wish the event was just game trailers without all these boring dev talks.

 

[Bartski]

new gaming showcase drinking game: take a shot every time you hear "diverse" and "empowerment"

 

[Dazraell]

Geez, this is so boring

 

[Banjo64]

Woke as fuck lol. Was that dipshit really in a hammock?

 

[Ogbert]

'Get off the fucking miniature motorbike Claire. I'm hungover, tired and it's annoying'.

 

[jshackles]

Indy time?

 

[DJ12]

No Switch version, sorry folks.

No time to add that to this prerecorded crap.

Doesn't look like it would need much downgrading for the switch though.

 

[Ozriel]

Yeah, not impressed with the pacing of this show at all.

Dragging on a PC only game for this long. Why not just have the devs voiceover the game so they don’t have to waste time showing the devs. Why did they have to burn seconds talking about player feedback and balancing wild animals ?

 

[Krieger]

These "cool features" they are talking about like wildlife or building monuments is shit I witnessed over 20 years ago, with Empire Earth.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

Hellblade worked as a 2 hour little digital download.

This looks like the exact same thing, but with even less game. Its been 5 years and they can't even show more than a few seconds worth of total gameplay. At this point, why not just make it a show? This looks like an Until Dawn style experience, but with no choices.

I share the same sentiment. We've seen very little in the way of gameplay and we're only a few months out from release.

Looks amazing though. That's about all I can give it right now.

 

[Salty Popsicle]

lol show not tell is not the memo they got for this show.
fucking hell shut up. Yeah we know it's a civ clone

It's almost as if Xbox marketed this as a developer direct show with interviews from the people making the games instead of a showcase event with only gameplay.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Ara
Notes:

1. ok the same format.
2. this is one of those games that will required deep scrutiny from hardcore games to assses how good/bad the design is. (cool concept of the simultaneous player turns)

 

[Represent.]

I see now why they went 3rd party

 

[tommib]

Ara looks really good.

 

[GHG]

Xbox left out in the cold again.

Told you, some people really aren't paying attention.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

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.

You must have a short memory
Half the Xbox fanbase on Gaf and internet was cheering about how amazing this game is going to be and how it would easily outshine anything that would be released on the competing 9Tf machine.

I was already trying to tell people to lower their expectations a bit and it looks like it'll be jist more of the same.
That's all.

As I said, the 1st game was amazing and this game will be the same.
But it won't be the system-seller, i.e. top of the line product that blows away the competition.
So, I was talking more about the quality l, rather than actual sales numbers. But you probably know that already.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Fuck yeah talking

 

[Rat Rage]

Ara looked good, not gonna lie

 

[DoomGyver]

Less talk more show. How disconnected are these people?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

It's called developer direct for a reason. Devs and key staff members discuss aspects of their game.

They can discuss all the stuff while showing the game, and not themselves.

 

[Ribi]

iJ fans are just a bunch of boomers

 

[GutsOfThor]

It's first person

 

[Jigsaah]

This feels like a State of Play with more way more talking. Why would they revert to this?

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Wtf this is tought up by Tod howard... all hype is gone in an instant.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Noooooo first person.....

 

[adamsapple]

TODD-FATHER !

 

[twilo99]

This will be hella fun on my computer. Ain’t touching this on Xbox with a 10 foot pole though.

Should support mouse and key on the box too

 

[Ozriel]

Damn. First person?
Oof

 

[LordCBH]

DONT BELIEVE TODDS LIES HES A HACK

 

[LostDonkey]

When did Todd Howard become a ginger haired grandma??

 

[gtabro]

TODD WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE MAN LMAOOOOOOOOOO

 

[winjer]

OMG, will these people shut the f*** up.
Just show the game.

 

[Dazraell]

I had a good laugh when MachineGames dude outright skipped acknowledging 4th and 5th Indy. Good call lmao

 

[Kings Field]

 

[rofif]

It's almost as if Xbox marketed this as a developer direct show with interviews from the people making the games instead of a showcase event with only gameplay.

I still don't care lol. This is just boring.

[nikos]

Lost all interest when Todd Howard showed up.

 

[adamsapple]

They got Ford's likeness, good.

 

[TransTrender]

This Indy thing looks like a 360 game.

 

[Ribi]

Why does Todd looks like Conan O'Brien's ginger brother

 

[Larivel]
