I wonder if Towerborne will get a release date soon. It would be a nice game to play during the summer

Get those Gamepass sub numbers up for the eventual explosion of new users at COD launch. Summer also has Kunitsu-Gami though but Towerborne with its multiplayer gameplay looks like a fun coop summer game for sure. Was hoping to play it during my vacations to be honest.

What the Xbox show really did nicely was showing some truly beautiful graphics from both their own studios but also multiplatform.
Expedition 33 looks fantastic for example, who is this studio? This came out of nowhere. And first party wise I gotta give it to Compulsion with South of Midnight. Visuals look beautiful, and really loving the character and creature design and voice acting.

South of Midnight is a tour de force both visually and an audio standpoint. Hopefully the gameplay matches it as well. Really proud a studio from my hometown is working for MS and producing such an amazing game. They sure have come a long way since Contrast!

Youāve said it. Contrast was a fun game though! I quite enjoyed We happy Few too and this is so different. Love it! The boss fight did seem way to easy and short, but that might be solely for demo purposes.
Anyway, this is looking damned good too!

People on YouTube are already bitching about Assassinās Creed Shadows, talking about the bar set by Ghost Of Tsushima.
Iām just like if any game involve Shinobi and Samurai should have been copied/taken inspiration from it should have been Sekiro.

Shadows looks incredible to be honest, donāt know why anyone would be bitching about it, and Iām sure itāll do crazy numbers for Ubisoft.
Plus why compare an AC game to GoT? Doesnāt even make any sense whatsoever. The scale at which Ubisoft does AC is and will stay unmatched.

Itās hilarious too because GOT cribbed the shit out of Assassinās Creed.

Ghost was a Ubisoft game through and through. It copied AC, not the other way around. One million map markers and repeated activities. I was burnt out after the first area.
I feel Shadows will set the new bar.

Exactly, I think the game is looking great. The fights look good and some people have even picked up similar animations to For Honor, which as much as I suck at the game itās obviously a game with very good fighting mechanics and animations.

I want to love GoT so much because it gets so much about the era and history right, but Iām with you, itās a poor job of a Ubisoft clone. At least quite a lot of side content in AC feels meaningful, even those that loved it in reviews always mention the less than stellar side content of GoT.

Yep I nearly always complete AC games as they do really well at making you feel like it matters - the assassination targets for example being linked and telling you how awful the target is.
GoT I didnāt complete - I still intend to go back at some point but it started to drag, the combat was becoming too samey and time consuming (thatās the issue with some games now always wanting to copy Souls stuff such as stance / breaking focus - every scrap is like a mini boss fight and takes too long when you just want to explore) and the locations were too copy-and-pasteā¦

The god tier art direction in GoT did a lot of heavy lifting for its current perception in gaming.

Yeah, I was really impressed, especially with Fable

The 2TB XSX will cost 600 dollar Iām seeing on Twitter. Surely not? And that will drop around the time of the still rumored PS5 Pro? Not sure what theyāre thinking, but if anything that XSX should be lower. Or do they keep the normal lower priced ones around too?
It shows that the PS5 Pro is gonna be really expensive.

Or Sony are going to kill their profits to sell it to us.
Possible, but I donāt see it. I can totally be wrong, but I feel like they want to maximise their profits from their existing userbase by making them buy a more powerful hardware.

It should be interesting to see what they do. I do plan to finally add a PS5 to my consoles, but if the price is too high Iām gonna wait. Backlog isnāt getting smaller on Xbox anyway. But if they do price it nicely MS would be smart to significantly lower it for the new XSX, since specs wise it wonāt exactly be competing with a Pro.
Or keep the current XSX and give it a real nice price. CoD on GP and with the right marketing who knows what it might do for their console sales.
So this guy first covers the Star Wars Outlaws Ubi footage we saw yesterday, but starting from 18:30 he shows new footage that Ubi sent him.
Gotta say, this is looking really good! This has me hyped more than I was yesterday after Ubiās own show.
