And we have yet another military shooter… Cause we had such a shortage of those…

Really seems like classic X-Box. It’s for you if you like shooters on gamepads.

Eden · July 23, 2020, 4:55pm

They’re really pushing the game pass?

mutation666 · July 23, 2020, 4:56pm

ZZZzzzzZzzzZzzzz… for most of this

Super underwhelming… Thank God STALKER 2 is coming to PC

Neilas · July 23, 2020, 4:58pm

It looked fine to me. The gameplay sandbox is what I’m interested in.

mutation666 · July 23, 2020, 4:58pm

Its just they had so much more gpu power barely improved graphics , sure the game will be fun but disappointing

noenken · July 23, 2020, 4:59pm

Speaking of gameplay … Where the fuck was it? Almost all of this was just cinematics.

mutation666 · July 23, 2020, 4:59pm

Thats pretty standard

psycho_666 · July 23, 2020, 5:03pm

9 out of 10 games on the SONY conference had gameplay…

noenken · July 23, 2020, 5:03pm

Well, I’m not interested in pretty much any of those titles. Senua might be interesting but I don’t think they showed anything new from that game.

psycho_666 · July 23, 2020, 5:04pm

STALKER 2 made me hard… No homo… Only erectus…

noenken · July 23, 2020, 5:09pm

Comments are … let’s say not entirely positive on the video either.

mutation666 · July 23, 2020, 5:20pm

I was watching engadget stream, wasnt looking good for people being pumped

noenken · July 23, 2020, 5:25pm

So, I rewatched the beginning because I missed the gameplay part from the Halo thing… it’s not amazing, I think. Horizon Zero Dawn and Uncharted 4 look better I think. And that’s one gen older. Sure, 60fps but still. I don’t see a tech advantage on microsoft’s side here. If anything it’s the other way around. To me PS5 looks stronger.

Actually… I’ll put this where it belongs.

4K version is up.

So Microsoft bought Obsidian, a studio know for making narrative RPGs and the first game they are making is … crafting survival open word online multiplayer thing…
How long before Microsoft destroys Obsidian?

noenken · July 25, 2020, 1:16am

Uuuuhm, yeah don’t worry about it. Everything is gonna be fine.

psycho_666 · July 25, 2020, 1:18am

You don’t say… Videogame Marketing is bulshit? Nooo… This never happens…

Neilas · July 25, 2020, 3:02pm

I know Gears 5 got a visual upgrade from the gameplay demo shown before release.

noenken · July 25, 2020, 4:27pm

That’s great but when you make a DEMO, it should demonstrate what the game will be, not where you currently are in development. And honestly, at this point in time if they are still putting together pieces of the engine … Let’s just say preorders are bad.

Digital Foundry has a really well done breakdown of why it looks the way it does. And there could be more coming it seems like.

From the photography side I might add that shadow is the thing that gives anything dimension. Without proper shadows you end up with flat visuals and a boring look overall. And that is what happens here.
