I really really want to see Project Suerte

Sounds certain to release this year.

Ara has a release date and Flight Sim as well, both games I just don’t care for. But the ones I really want to play like Indy and Avowed don’t have dates. Well Avowed did, but maybe they saw the date for AC and decided against it. So hopefully they move it forward or slightly back.

As long as it’s this year we’ll be good. They shouldn’t be too scared of other games.

Look at this way. If they get delayed, they will end up filling up 2025 because this year is getting jam packed by them alone.

I really hope not, because apart from Hellblade 2 it’s a bit of a dry time for Xbox first party so far.

Speaking of Avowed, have there been any more previews other than the podcast? We were told there would be previews for it and Indy, wasn’t there?

After reading the claim I don’t think there’s a chance in hell that Valve pays out a single dime.

Without those 2, you still got 4 confirmed dates and Towerborne is still pending. Sounds good to me, but I get what you’re looking for.

As for previews, it’s likely embargo.

I am thinking Tom Henderson mixed up these podcasts and previews.

There is this too

I wonder if remasters, like the rumored Gears of War collection or Fallout 3, could be something that Microsoft would choose to announce at Gamescom instead of their main show.

Does anybody know if SMT V is play anywhere? I can’t seem to find info if it is

Good video this one! I do get the disappointment by the hardcore Origins fans. Combat wise this goes back to 2 but improved, and not much tactical elements are left. I personally never used this and the combat system of DAO actually was the one thing I couldn’t get into. I did get far in the story, but sadly still dropped it because of the combat.

That being said, DAO’s characters with the Origin stories, subject matters, story, choices was top notch. And I’m not gonna kid myself believing we have THAT BioWare back. I hope to be wrong but Origins was at times very dark, I don’t think The Veilguard will be that. And if not, hopefully still a good enough story, cool choices that matter, interesting characters and a world worth exploring.

I hope so as well. I admit I was more of a fan of the tactical aspect you could find in all previous entries, especially Origins and Inquisition. That’s why, I’m waiting to see how deep will be the combat system.

Hopefully because it was the prologue we didn’t get to see the combat full fledged, so to speak. It does look fun to me, but ideally they do have tactical options for the fans that want it too, but it seems it won’t.

One thing is for sure, locations look nice and they beg to be explored, so to speak. Three new shots.

Those guys need Flex Seal.

Yes, think it is. The Persona games were all XPA and were Atlus’s titles.

Watched the CoD Direct in full now, last Sunday after the Xbox show I had my fill, lol.

But this is looking very good. They have added more hit points for enemies, so when you shoot them in the leg, they’ll drop down differently compared to when you hit them in the arm, head or torso and these death animations look great. The omni movement seems like a very cool addition too and I really want to try that out.

And the visual bump is clear too, especially lighting wise during some parts of the Direct. Zombies looked awesome too. Truly, Xbox couldn’t have finished their ABK acquisition at a better time, for this to be day one in Game Pass, this is looking like a damn strong CoD with tons of content and actual much needed changes being brought.

I was wondering this too!

I’ve been holding off doing another Gears playthrough on the hope they announce the collection.

That’s good thinking! It was after all Nick that mentioned the collection for the first time, wasn’t it? The new Gears of War is still quite some time off, so let’s get that collection in glorious 4K/60 please. Played a few story missions with my nephew for the first time a few weeks ago with the plan to start over with the collection but then Xbox show happened and no collection. Let’s hope GC yeah!

Fallout 3 Remaster was 2 years after Oblivion Remaster in the leak, and that isn’t out yet. Think Fallout 3 is 2026 at earliest, as most stuff has been delayed by around 2 years.
