Indy looks amazing! Very very pleased its not an uncharted reskin and they are doing their own thing. Bravo!

 

[Nonehxc]

Uuuh nice. Now we're talking.

 

[Fabieter]

WTF? Pacing? that's impossible to determine without playing the actual game lol.

The pacing of the conference ofc.

 

[Beechos]

Hot damn 2024 is going to be lit. Xbox having no games narrative should be over this year. All games look really good and polished with 2024 release dates.

 

[Bartski]

2025 is gonna be the year

 

[bender]

If it has some proper tomb puzzles we have a winner.

Not counting on it. Modern Tomb Raider somehow managed to dumb down Uncharted's brain dead puzzles.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I don't believe that indy game is releasing this year.

 

[Dazraell]

Wish the best for MachineGames. Indy looks neat and I think it may have a good reception, but I personally feel it's not a good call to make it first person as with that type of game you want to feel like you control Indiana Jones, not that you are in his boots, so to speak. But I guess they want to make it feel more distinct from Uncharted and Tomb Raider games, which does the job, I guess

 

[Ribi]

Xbox killing it

 

[LostDonkey]

I thought the indie game was the best of the lot but I don't know if I'd buy it.

 

[Md Ray]

Wait... IS THAT TROY BAKER ?!

Sam Drake!!

 

[HoofHearted]

Sit down son. We need to talk

 

[Adam_802]

Indy looks amazing. 1st person was the right choice. Good on them not making just some Uncharted clone.

 

[sendit]

Presentation 9/10. Games 1/10.

 

[Evil Calvin]

So anything in the 1st half of the year (before May 21st?).............................

 

[Senua]

Who knew making a game in first person was so controversial lmao

 

[Nonehxc]

and what the hell is a pussle?

A pussy with a pustule.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

2024 with no clear release window is screaming for the delay to 2025.

 

[Optimus Lime]

What I got from this is that mainstream video game developers don't have a single original idea left in their heads.

Indiana Jones looked painfully boring. There wasn't a single thing shown that I haven't already seen in other games. Nothing.

 

[saintjules]

Aside from Hellblade and somewhat for Indy

 

[Dane]

Will it have animations for ass whipping?

 

[FunkMiller]

What that wasn’t was any kind of advertisement for the Xbox Series X. Mine’s going on eBay.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Avowed looked better visually than last time at least.

Did I hear correctly when Ninja Theory said Hellblade II would be a shorter experience? Does that means shorter than the first Hellblade?

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Meh... I'll play indie but didn't look even as good as Uncharted 4.

This.
Uncharted out Indied Indy years ago.

 

[adamsapple]

Indy looked great, first person with lots of third person cut-scenes, very Robocop-like.

Can't wait.

 

[Dazraell]

As for the showcase as a whole, I feel it was underwhelming. I had low expectations and still felt they could do much more

 

[Mortisfacio]

What I got from this is that mainstream video game developers don't have a single original idea left in their heads.

Look at this gens most anticipated games. Many are remasters/remakes. Industry is creatively bankrupt and cost of new IPs for potential failure is a high risk.

 

[Jigsaah]

Points taking off for not showing more Hellblade combat. Avowed looks ok, but seems really rigid. Was really hoping for like the next level combat and story telling, but no...doesn't seem like anything that special.

Mana is mana...I mean yay for those who are getting nostalgic. ARA looks ok, Indy looks fantastic. Overall C+ for me.

 

[N30RYU]

Can't wait for the rate the show thread

 

[Hawke502]

What I got from this is that mainstream video game developers don't have a single original idea left in their heads.

Yeah, im quite sure Indiana Jones with all the varied gameplay they showed looked boring, what would really be inovative is if it was third person, we surely don't have enough action adventure 3rd person game where you go on hunting ancient relics.

 

[Beechos]

This has been one of the best conferences in a long time.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Very entertaining show and I'm interested in 4 out of 5 games that they show. Good stuff.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

This showcase wasn't bad Indy, Hellblade 2 and Avowed all looked ok.

 

[BoxFresh123]

Not great, not bad.

 

[Roberts]

Did anyone claim he was?

No, no. I was just thinking out loud, what with all the talk about Uncharted here. Anyway, Direct did address it and I'm super happy about it.

 

[Gambit2483]

I'm saying that I know some developers can, but if Machinegames couldn't get it to work, then the least they can do is give me fun gameplay at 60fps.

I think people also forget that Series S is a thing and that Xbox values parity and will often scale ambition appropriately so that Series S can also get performance parity

 

[Sacred]

Very solid lineup for 2024, I love the diverse genre of games. Should be something for everyone, 8/10.

Alot of you need to grow up, it's so embarrassing reading the parroting and stupidity that comes from the majority of these people that don't even own the console.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

I give it 8.3/10. Wasn't blown away but I was sincerely surprised that Indiana Jones actually looks like it will work in the first person.

Avowed looks like AA and I expect the plot and RPG system with choices to be really good.

Also surprised that Hellblade 2 is 50$, but for 8 hour game it makes sense.

Ara is a day 1 for me for sure. I am missing civ....

I do feel like they need another one show this year in this style.

P.S. Personally I would give it 9 just for the heart attack that PS fanboys got when they saw Square Enix.

 

[Diddy X]

I want to see more from Avowed, how deep the combat goes and the leveling.

 

[Hohenheim]

Very pleased with this direct. 2024 is looking to continue the awesomeness from 2023. Another great year for gaming.

Avowed is definitly one of my most wanted games. Looks so good.

If Hellblade 2 was a playstation game, the fanboys would jerk each other off non stop. Still not sure if it's for me, as I found the first one very boring, but it looks very exciting.

Indiana Jones looks amazing. Should be a very good adventure, and i'm glad they did their thing and didn't set out to make a Tomb Raider / Uncharted clone.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Who are these mooks, talking up this turd fest?

 

[systemr123]

I thought the showcase was pretty ok. Good Gamepass games I guess, I definitely look forward to try Indy. Somehow the more I hear and see of Senua the less hyped I am for that title. It is as if the studio really wants you to see this game as a nagging simulator.

With avowed though, I am reminded of this legendary Crab demo on PS3 I think it was? With the amount and focus of “real time weapon switching” phrase lol

 

[Ozriel]

Indiana Jones looked really really interesting. Absolutely didn’t want first person but what they’ve shown has sold me on it. Sorta reminds me of the Riddick game.

The rest of the show didn’t deliver the goods. I’m especially irrationally pissed at the Visions of Mana part.

Ninja Theory doesn’t know how to show off their games properly.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

I thought hellblade 2 looked good from the once again very brief clips shown of actual gameplay, the rest?

Avowed looked generic,‘mediocre, archaic imo

No interest in the RTS or mania series

Indy…my god what a disappointment that its first person . I should have known given the developer but still, this could have been something special in the third person action adventure genre. The cutscenes are ok but the rest, it lacks something, the lighting in particular is so flat. So disappointing.


Honestly if it wasn’t for Hellblade 2 , if someone said we were in the 1X generation still I would of believed them.

 

[Matsuchezz]

Nothing impressed me, and that is ok. I have never been a fan of Bethesda umbrella of developers.
Ninja theory Tameem Anthonaides is no longer at the studio? It was strange not seeing him.
Indiana jones looks lackluster I really do not understand how that looks impressive. These games are AA AT BEST. Really disappointing show. I am watching Xbox unloacked and ign and the face of Destin is really of disappointment his words do not match his face.

Gamepass quality games.

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

It was alright.

Gamepass/10

Ara is my game of the show because I love Civ 5

 

[Gambit2483]

Avowed looked better visually than last time at least.

Did I hear correctly when Ninja Theory said Hellblade II would be a shorter experience? Does that means shorter than the first Hellblade?

They changed the color saturation and subdued it a bit. Last time they showed Avowed it almost looked like something out of a Saturday morning cartoon

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Sorta reminds me of the Riddick game.

Weren't there devs from the same studio working for Machine Games or something? I believe there were some hires from Starbreeze?

 

[Beechos]

2024 with no clear release window is screaming for the delay to 2025.

Looked pretty far along with all the different stuff shown in the trailer but yeah with no clear release date wouldnt be surprised if it got delayed.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

In for Avowed and Indy, didn't watch the other 3.
