Is there anything other than Halo that is going to be interesting in Microsofts event...

Think From/GRRM's game will be revealed at the MS show, as well as a couple of other third party big hitters. They'll have 14 first party titles as well that will likely make it to PC. And I suppose I'll have a gander at their new hardware as well.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

They've been dropping hints in their Twitter feed for "Scarlet", so it would be a surprise now if they didn't reveal anything.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

That was pretty ******* awesome.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

12 Minutes looked great.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Was it just me, or did they specifically say Scarlett had hardware ray tracing?

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Hopefully they don't forget to release the wrestlers from the dungeon under the stage.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

And new PvP mode where you can play as demons vs Doom guy.

The only other highlights from the Bethesda show were from external devs; Deathloop from Arkane (Dishonored) looks intriguing, and Ghostwire: Tokyo from Tango Gameworks (Evil Within) has potential based on past work.

Lowlights? Bringing Commander Keen back as a ******* mobile game, and that one particularly obnoxious douche in the crowd.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

That woman from Tango was sooo adorable Looks an interesting game but no in-game footage just the usual CG trailer.

Yeah, she was enjoying herself anyway.

True of course on the trailer, but Mikami does horror as well as anyone. Hopefully they deliver!

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Finally, a BR game I can get behind.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

They'll just bus in the crowd of actors from the Bethesda presentation, in all likelihood.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Chivalry II on the way.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

The PC Gaming Show is a weird format, and I'm not a fan of Day9, but it's good that smaller games get some coverage.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

I like his t-shirt

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Poor show from Ubi. Want to see more of Gods and Monsters though... at least that and the roller derby game are different to their usual cookie cutter shooters.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

BGaE2 nowhere to be seen?

They said a few weeks back they wouldn't be showing it. No new Assassins Creed surprised me though.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Part of me wonders if they're waiting to see when Elden Ring is supposed to launch, both being Norse myth-themed.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

The Vikings bit came from a "leak", which turned out to be fake.

But it was confirmed a whole ago that the next AC game will be released in 2020. Cross-gen seems likely.

What was confirmed as fake? I thought it came from an easter egg it in the Division 2, rather than some leak?

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

I was thinking of this story:

www.gamesradar.com/amp/those-assassins-creed-ragnarok-screenshots-are-fake-but-the-other-details-have-us-thirsting-for-vikings/

I missed the Division 2 story.

Ah, and I missed that leak!

Just caught up with the SE stuff there. Christ, there was a lot of Final Fantasy! Not sure what to make of Avengers. How does their plan for ongoing content work? Nice voice cast though.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

anyone impressed with the avengers game?

Thought it was a bit meh as far as trailers go. But it's still a year away, and the promise of extra content for free isn't to be sniffed at. Will need to see the core mechanics at play before getting excited/losing interest completely.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Another obnoxious generalisation. Well done lads, you're on a roll tonight.
