I still stand by that the benefit of announcing late port for Xbox is the way to announce it. Like how Fall Guys announce by playing an Xbox controller with the beep sound that turns on the console, or that Oddworld game with character opening a chest that chime Xbox noise, or even now with Genshin holding up the power of Xbox logo.
Is it me or February is looking quite stacked?

Yeah it was a decent show for sure. A friend of mine said this was possibly the worst show in a long time but I disagree completely. End of the day if these games don’t catch your interest then I can understand him disliking it, but damn. Worst? Not even close.
One thing though, why would you want Indy delayed to Spring? 
For me it’s…
- Dying Light The Beast (still need to play 2 though)
- Borderlands 4 (please have interesting villain and humor.
- BO6
- Revenge of the Savage Planet (big surprise this one. First game was great.)
- Reanimal (looked very creepy, very cool)
- Kingdom Come 2
- Floatopia (like the look of it)
- Indiana Jones
- Mafia (I hope they learned from 3 with the incredibly repetitive mission structure before story missions.

Most likely a switch 2 launch game
So…
What about Concord? It’s out today. Technically.

Game seems fine, but doesn’t have that standout factor in a sea of GAAS games.

I think the entire base of gamers just did a collective shrug and carried on with what they were doing…
EDIT: Good point though, where was it? They could have advertised it in that show, like BMW did with their launch trailer.
Does feel like Sony may have accepted it’s being sent out to die, as outside of E3 that was one of the biggest shows to highlight its release and early access
Also the characters are Marvel clones - in a few months, they can play with the real Marvel characters for free.
And in the meantime they can play Valorant for free, or Overwatch 2, another game it’s a clone of.
Agree it’s going to struggle to get much attention at all

We all know why, those sorts wont ever leak positive Xbox news.

Technically it was in that Amazon Video “Secret Level” clip teaser. Blink and you missed it.

Very cool! Not big on Genshin but hopefully Zenless Zone Zero makes it’s way over as well at some point in the near future.

Lol that was something weird - I do wonder if they’ll touch any Xbox IPs, it’ll be really odd if they don’t.
Doom, Quake, Elder Scrolls, Fallout (also Amazon!), CoD and Halo are all games with long histories that are central to gaming - so if they go purely left field stuff like Sifu (sure I saw that in there?!) and heavy Sony promoting but leave out those IPs I’ll happily skip it.
Do a decent Halo or Elder Scrolls one though, and I’ll probably rewatch it a hundred times…
EDIT: According to Deadline, this is the list - very odd choices in places and clearly partly funded by Sony?
15 episodes, 15 IPs (well PS Studios all in one except Concord)
Think for me it’ll be The Outer Worlds and Unreal Tournament, plus maybe ArmCore…
● Armored Core ● Concord ● Crossfire ● Dungeons & Dragons ● Exodus ● Honor of Kings ● Mega Man ● New World: Aeternum ● PAC-MAN ● PlayStation (Highlighting various PlayStation Studios beloved entities) ● Sifu ● Spelunky ● The Outer Worlds ● Unreal Tournament ● Warhammer 40,000

What is that Secret Level?
Some kind of anthology TV series on Amazon, seems they’ll weave characters and stuff from each of the IPs in.
Hopefully in standalone episodes rather than an overall arch so I can just watch the ones I want - the word anthology would suggest they are standalone at least.
The list of IPs involved is in my last comment above

Concord lol, must have been really struggling to get rights to IPs.
On second thought it’s possible Sony made a deal to include concord if they wanted GoW, as some sort of marketing boost.

Yep I wonder if they did the cinematics for it for Sony’s reveal.
Seems a weird one to do as it’s likely already got longer runtime expensive animations already made for the game - so it doesn’t seem like a single episode could tell more than all the promo videos Sony put out…
So the Xbox stream is tomorrow and as per ONL we know we’re getting the first gameplay of Revenge of the Savage Planet. Very cool.
Wonder what else will be there.
Probably more game for game pass as well as release dates for some if them. Alters being a contender for a release date trailer.
