The All-Purpose Gaming Showcase Thread - Now with 20% more Zest

[Finarfin]

Jesus, whine whine whine. Make a new thread called "The All-Purpose Gaming Whinecase: Now with 20% more cheese"

[rusty_shackleford]

I feel like I've been radicalised from watching this.

It's all slop...

Stranger than Heaven is ruined.

And the one Western game I'm interested in (Blood of Dawnwalker) was spoiled. Now I'm going to play it thinking "alright, when do we go to

► Show Spoiler

the present day?"

Seems obvious that it will happen when the timer ends.

[maidenhaver]

A day in a dev's life: getting fired.

[methoxetamine]

I dunno man, FF7 seems to have too many *******, but I do want to see HD Sephiroth.

Yeah it sucks but I came to terms with it, I'll just pirate and try not to look the NPC's. Rebirth was way too kino for me to skip over some unnamed *******

[Finarfin]

Friend seems to have interest in it, but he is xbox only, so I'll get them through my account and then be able to install them through the PC Xbox App. (I'd rather pirate them but eh, hopefully I can still mod the game through the microsoft store version)

Haven't seen much of the game (to ironically avoid spoilers), but I figured the in-game passage of time would be anything from a few months to several years in the same era. So, you're telling me that it's actually over centuries? That sounds pretty cool, but it would have been even cooler if I didn't know that was going to happen.

AION 2 Trailer Global Release Date Reveal [4K] - Official

I maybe check that out if it has no subscription. At least you can fly, characters look good and the music was great in the first maybe here too.

Cant really say anything else catched my eye in this showcase. The Attack on Titan game just seems like one of these dragonball fighting games with the usual cheap low poly 3D models which I dont like and I havent seen a little blood or dismemberment there, so probably censored into Oblivion. Sigh. Wish I could still get excited for games, but there is just emptiness now where it used to be.

Maybe Microsoft will announce the Fallout 3 remake which is rumored soon. Guess I could play that.

AION 2 Trailer Global Release Date Reveal [4K] - Official

Motion blur

Too fast paced action

Incomprehensible smear of particle effects

Forgettable environment art


Hrmm...

[Finarfin]

Check korean gameplay of AION 2, Val. Motion blur is probably something you can turn off.

Hrmm...

yeah world design is a little like xenoblade too I would say. Its just pretty looking asia grind where you can fly around in some zones, I havent really checked out the version on the korea server which run there for years already. If it runs on linux and there is no subscription its a good time waster.

But I maybe have rose tainted nostalgia googles of that.

[Finarfin]

It is free to play in korea so should be here too

[Oyster Sauce]

Goodness gracious they have 40% of the screenspace taken up by a fat silent language interpreter woman?

I went to eat dinner partway through and it's not letting me rewind the stream to where I was except on this ASL version with the fat ugly *****. The audio quality is significantly lower too.

[enisey]

It looks like Guild Wars 3 got a discount on Highguard's assets

[maidenhaver]

Was there a single game announced?

[methoxetamine]

ready for action again, lads?

first things first: FABLE: *******. ******* LITERALLY EVERYWHERE and a hilarious looking ******

[Finarfin]

The Xbox Games Showcase begins now:
Thank you for an incredible 25 Years, and heres to the next 25!

First game is:
Gears of War? Kalona District. Yeah Gears of War.
Dom, Marcus, a ugly ****** and a generic looking guy.
Gameplay, we see locust holes open up. Typical Gears gameplay, run and gun, and the sprint isn't the old crouch and run, it's upright. Ah, the guy is a police officer. Now Locust troopers appear, player flanks them and finishes one with the bayonet. Very nice! Carmine fights a group (or atlest I think it's one of the carmines)
Nice splash sounds and lots of blood. Another finisher. Seems like there are melee chargers in E-Day. Squadmembers can rescue you. Oh yeah, a lot more freedom in mobility. Locust just tanks a ******* bayonet and effortlessly disarms Marcus, choking him to death but Tai saves him with a chainsaw. Coolio, Tai Kaliso is in this too. Oh you can slide in this one.
Looks cool. October 06.
Gears of War E-Day

Asha Sharma talks about how Xbox used to release great fan beloved franchises. Gears of War E-Day is Xbox Console Exclusive. More than 25 games will be shown.

Xbox Game Studios.
A hut. A woman talks about her powers and when they came to her.
Playground Games, Fable
Isabel, a hero. Negroid woman being a *****.
A bunch of "Heroes" fighting things. Seems like these heroes are all assholes. Albion is broken, and Isabel will mend it. No Heroes needed, just ONE hero. Isabel will be that one. (Seems like she is the Villain)
February 23 2027 WAIT WTF - Jack of Blades

Halo 1 Remake.
Looks pretty soulless. Oh god, Cortana looks awful.
One year before the ring? Some gameplay of it, Chief blowing up enemies, killing enemies in corridors.
I dunno man, this kinda looks ****.
Three all new missions. Evolved Campaign.
Halo Campaign Evolved. July 28.

[Finarfin]

Some Gypsy looking woman. Strong independant woman fighting men without issues, another butt ugly ****** woman girlboss. Ah I know what this is, that Rat controlling kid game but a spin-off with that gypsy woman from the last game.
Resonance A plague tale legacy.

ATLUS
Persona 4.
The character models look nice. Has a fishing minigame. Cutscenes too. Doesn't look bad but the content is the important thing, will they censor because ******** and ******* are offended?
February 27

Xbox Game Studios
Caroline? A cassette is playing, a grenade is attached to attract zombies. Ah State of Decay 3.
Old Asian guy talking about what ended the world as we know it. It started in places that the world forgot. Smalltowns, empty roads. Certainly looks better than the test thing select people could play. Seems like they don't roam around anymore, they will hunt us. So I guess we have to get to them first. A lot of nice guns. Could be a nice co-op experience tbh.
2027

Xbox Game Studios
Sea of Thieves. Booooooooring. Custom Seas lets you create new ways to play. Oh can I make it PVE while getting the normal rewards and not being gimped because I am not willing to get ganked by junkies that are playing in a 6-men group? So far nothing like that, but gay chill areas and battle royale.

[Finarfin]

Ukraine game. Metro.
Tunnels, water. There is a liar named The Führer aka Hunter.
A spartan legend. He used to stood for something. Where are the Spartans to protect the Metro from HIM?
Promises over promises but only tyranny remains and to crush the Enemies yet he has become the enemy. Gameplay Quick-Cut, action, stealth, exploration, A LOT OF shooting.
Metro 2039 - Release February 2027

World Premiere.
Bird moves around, and burns a flowerbed. Causes mischief. chirps but no one answers. Kinda like Untitled Goose Game but with a Bird. Bad Magpie

Doom Revelations. July 7

Golden Gate Bridge? Guy stacks cans. Crazy Taxi, lol.

New monsters it seems.

Oh boy, I hope we get more over-animated UI that game devs will jerk off about for months.

[Finarfin]

Call of Duty, a movie is coming too. MW4 is coming soon too and DMZ will be shown now.
TV starts up. North Korea. Seems like we will be deep in enemy territory? This looks great so far. Wish this weren't PVPVE. Team member ignores advice, goes downstairs and gets killed. Team mates leave him there and move on. Footage is shown through the helmet cam, looks pretty neat. You can grab your downed teammates and drag them somewhere safe. They are trying to get to the Exfil, sniper scares them quite a bit. Right when they exfil, someone shoots them and then a Helicopter comes and shoots a rocket at them. Pretty chaotic and intense. Looks cool, but not for me. I'll stick with the Multiplayer

And thats it!
