This sounds interesting. One of the better “highlights” of the disappointing show. I’m eager to hear more about it.

Obscure_Observer1398d ago (Edited 1398d ago )

"One of the better “highlights” of the disappointing show."

It was FAR better than Sony´s. With better looking games also.

This game´s gonna be amazing!

pwnmaster30001398d ago

It really wasn’t tho lol.

I’m sorry I had high hopes for this show and it didn’t live up to the hype. My fault on that. Should of came in with lower expectation

Marquinho1398d ago

I'm gonna be honest here. PS5 show was better... but not because of content, but because of how they carried it.

MS had a big opportunity to fuel hype with this game, Fable and Forza, but all them (not mentioning Hellblade, with zero new content) were shown with confusing/short teasers or in this case, the trailer stopped just when I was ready to enjoy some next gen gameplay.

Said this, Series X launch lineup is still stronger than PS5... I guess they're saving the bullets for E3 2021, as it seems that none of these games, apart from Halo, are gonna be released before it.

SamTheGamer1398d ago

Nice Joke Obscure_Observer!

SamTheGamer1398d ago

@Marquinho
"Series X launch lineup is still stronger than PS5" Whatttt???? 😂😂😂

DarkBlaze251398d ago

I've always been a primary xbox gamer and that still might not change but ps despite not really blowing my mind with their event it was miles better than this. Phil and Aaron talked about how they heard and was listening to feedback after the May event but I don't see any lessons learned. Barely any gameplay and my favorite damn franchise that's always been known for pushing graphical boundaries looks like a plastic potato. I'm honestly disappointed and pissed with xbox right now. Did they have some good interesting reveals? Yes but could they have done miles better? Hell yes. Nothing they showed makes me think I need a series X over my current one x and that's really what I was looking for. Might just keep my one x and get the ps5 digital edition to start with until they get their shit together.

oh my

Rambokind1398d ago

Ladies and gentleman, the art of living in an alternate universe

0rbital711398d ago

yep id agree, was a great show, and i will be getting both ps5 and xsx

Marquinho1398d ago

@SamTheGamer

I do think so yeah... despite of this badly carried event. What's the launch lineup of PS5?

Hakuoro1398d ago (Edited 1398d ago )

"It was FAR better than Sony´s. With better looking games also."

Heh, no.

And at least Sony had the balls to show game play on console.You're bragging about cinematic trailers for games which are clearly not coming out during launch window. Meanwhile Sony showed a bunch of games that are more than likely 2020-2021 games.

By the time Microsoft actually releases these games Sony will have shown a whole new batch of games. Heck we might even see more games during PlayStation's rumored August event.

And I disagree that anything they showed looked better than what Sony showed, in fact if anything what I took from Microsoft's show was that graphically SX isn't going to be much if any different than PS5. Especially if they have to be so reluctant to show real gameplay.

Microsoft again is still way behind Sony in development because Phil spent the 3/4 of last generation talking about how exclusives weren't relevant and only decided games were important in 2018. While Sony has had it's studios working on games non-stop and are ready to go day 1 with actual next gen PlayStation 5 games.

throne1398d ago

way better than sonys? yeah you're reaching

XabiDaChosenOne1398d ago (Edited 1398d ago )

LMAOOOOO!!!!

@Marquinho
"I guess they're saving the bullets for E3 2021"
And there it is, the infamous "wait till E3".

Zodiac1398d ago

How was it not better? In terms of actual gameplay shown, Microsoft showed more. Aside from that they were both just cgi trailers and announcements with no real release dates. But yeah, actual gameplay puts this showcase above the ps5 showcase.

MajorLazer1398d ago

Take off the fanboy goggles. This show was a massive dissapoint, and this is coming from someone who wants MS to produce great games again.

Marquinho1398d ago

@XabiDaChosenOne

Not this time. The content was there... they just didn't elaborate on it.

They've saved way too much. If they presented the exact same games, but with some attractive gameplay, I'd rate it 9/10, but MS limited themselves to show very brief bits of their games except from Halo while giving a lot of time to games like Tetris... and that made it frustrating.

It doesn't change a bit the fact that Microsoft is building a solid lineup... they just didn't show virtually anything new about them. They probably didn't felt like it was necessary looking at what Sony was offering for this year? I don't know.

kreate1398d ago

But the games look like xbox 360/one games. Doesnt look next gen at all.

CaptainHenry9161392d ago

It was probably the worse show I've seen from Microsoft in a long time. They hyped this show up and it was disappointing

pwnmaster30001398d ago

Yeah this game looks to be really hood. Pretty excited for this one.

phoenixwing1398d ago

Hopefully this is a better version of elder scrolls with good combat. Definitely have my attention with spell and sword in each hand. that's how i play on skyrim and oblivion.

pwnmaster30001398d ago

I don’t remember being able to use spell and sword in obilivion.
But at the same time I played as a wood elf archer..
Still pretty excited for it.
Say what you want with Bethesda but their elderscroll game is on point and hope this game can match it.

phoenixwing1398d ago

you give bethesda too much credit. i'm expecting them to exceed it.

Kados1398d ago

In Oblivion, you could cast magic regardless of what was equipped. Magic was set independant of weapons/shields and you would just put your offhand away during the casting animation.

MadLad1398d ago

Bethesda at least used to make interesting worlds with a lot of player choice.
ES and Fallout are just glorified looter games now, with weak combat.

Prubar1398d ago

Wow legitimately shocked Obsidian was one of the studios to announce something. We knew they were working on a AAA rpg but with Outer worlds release last year and Grounded this year I wasn’t expecting anything from them.

RaidenBlack1398d ago

Honestly, the last section of the trailer reminded me of Deep Down.

battlegrog1398d ago

well they do have 2 teams i believe so makes sense

Obscure_Observer1398d ago

3 Teams actually. Team Avowed, Team The Outer Worlds, Team Grounded.

Baza1398d ago

Don’t hold your breath probably 2 years out.

Bruh1398d ago

3 years out, the game is only on Series X and PC and Microsoft themselves have stated no Series X exclusives for 2 years. So its 2023 or out

King_Noctis1398d ago

Even if it is 2 or 3 years out, it still is coming exclusively on MS platforms, isn't it?

CDbiggen1398d ago

I forgot this was even shown. So much forgettable trash in one hour.

DiRtY1398d ago

“ I haven't read the article or other comments, but I'm just gonna come in with a big fat Nooooo. Nintendo is fine doing their own thing and Microsoft can continue to fuck their own consoles up.”

You are always hating on anything Microsoft. So yeah, we got it.

CDbiggen1398d ago (Edited 1398d ago )

Nonono, keep reading, there's more to me than that. I hate everything.
Edit: also there's legitimate context you've missed out for that comment. And you had to go to page 4 of all my comments to find that.

Look, that showcase was abysmal and I can say that as a Switch owner with nothing to play for the rest of the year.

MadLad1397d ago (Edited 1397d ago )

Only some people are allowed to instigate and troll around here. Depends on the content of the instigating and trolling.

I'm risking a suspension simply saying that.

CDbiggen1397d ago (Edited 1397d ago )

Well I was just being 100% honest, not saying it just to "troll". Are you saying I'm one of these people allowed to instigate and troll? Because that's just paranoia dude.

MadLad1397d ago (Edited 1397d ago )

@CD

I never called you out. I don't think I ever came across you until now on this site. I was just calling out the mentality of the site that I've noticed over the years.

Real talk though, the fact that you took this as an attack on you feels sort of "paranoid" to me.

If you feel you fall into it though. Let's be real, your original comment was needlessly aggresive.

CDbiggen1397d ago (Edited 1397d ago )

Nice spin, but I think the way I took your first comment made sense given how you worded it. I didn't feel "attacked" lol, was just asking a reasonable question.
My tiny two sentences were hardly needlessly aggressive; I was just expressing disappointment which the majority of people on this site seemed to have felt following that showcase. Just a load of CG trailers and no gameplay.

MadLad1398d ago

Obsidian has made some great RPGs, and are now working with the largest budget they ever had.

Just saying.

TFJWM1398d ago

? How do you know that? They are working on a game that will be included in GamePass.

MadLad1397d ago (Edited 1397d ago )

@tfjwm

The hell do you mean "how do I know that"?
They were handed millions by MS to be bought out as a 1st party company. They are now being bankrolled by said company.
Their cousin company, inXile, were purchased at the same time, indicating that they are looked at as the heavy hitters for Xbox's western rpg arm.

Prior to this, Obsidian was working on publisher deals, and Kickstarter campaigns, to get games out.

You do realize that first party titles tend to be the most funded releases that, well, release?

King_Noctis1398d ago

You're on a roll today. Funny that, as always, N4G's mods haven't mark you for trolling.

CDbiggen1397d ago (Edited 1397d ago )

As always? On a roll? What do you mean for both of those?
People are too sensitive on here.

SamTheGamer1398d ago (Edited 1398d ago )

The only game I'm excited for in the entire show, rest of them looks meh!

"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...

Einhander19721d 5h ago

Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.

It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.

....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.

That's next Thursday.

Einhander19721h ago(Edited 1h ago)

It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.

What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.

CaptainFaisal18h ago

Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.

Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.

MrDead18h ago

Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.

I_am_Batman17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.

If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.

Number1TailzFan17h ago

Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in

helicoptergirl17h ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.

Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 launch trailer will send shivers down your spine

Ninja Theory's latest trailer for their highly anticipated narrative action-adventure Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is absolute cinema.

Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible.

Rynxie1d 3h ago

Unfortunately, their games aren't big sellers. Will MS shut them down if hellblade 2 sells below expectations?

outsider16241d ago

If it sells below expectations, then i expect it to come to PS5.

Elda1d ago

The game may be a critical hit & still can get shut down. I highly doubt most XB owners will buy this game including the fact that it's digital only at $50. Most folks that have Gamepass will play the game through the sub service. If the reviews tomorrow are just average to low then that's another problem.

Obscure_Observer1d 2h ago

"Like I said before, buying Ninja Theory was one of the smartest moves by Microsoft. Games looks incredible."

Indeed.

Just a few hours to go

I can´t wait!

z2g1d 6h ago

badass. already installed via gamepass. if its as great as the first one I will pay for the whole game.

glenn19791d 1h ago

I just don't understand why all the down votes

jwillj2k41d 5h ago

Here we go again. Is this a game or a choose your own adventure???

purple1011d 5h ago

if you choose left, turn to page 39, if you proceed forward, turn to page 43, to turn right, page 209, you finished the book early,

no but seriously this looks like Microsofts first hit, or should I say, first game of standout quality.

jwillj2k41d 5h ago

Never questioned the quality. Question is will there be a need for the controller.

anast1d ago

The time machine 'choose your own' were awesome.

Tedakin1d 3h ago

If it's anything like the first game, you will spend a lot of timing walking and solving puzzles, with some fights thrown in.

Elda1d 5h ago

LOL! Didn't send any shivers down my spine but I'll demo it after midnight tonight through Gamepass to see what it's giving.

Obscure_Observer1d 3h ago

After the midnight? I see...

Day one as expected for another game that you said you had zero interest.

Elda1d ago (Edited 1d ago )

Finally making a re-appearance. When the heat was on about XB closing studios you were crickets on all articles. Now that the heat has died down all of a sudden you're here on an XB exclusive article or should I say a timed exclusive...lol!! If you must know I can demo this game at midnight because the University I work at is closed for the summer so I can play video games until my heart's content until the end of August when I go back to work. That's what Gamepass is for, knowing I would not spend $50 on Hellblade 2 because the first one I thought was boring so I'm going to see if this one is still boring or is it interesting by demoing the game.

PhillyDonJawn1d 1h ago

I'm surprised you're interested

Elda1d ago

Why not I have a year subscription to Gamepass, I don't have to spend $50 on a digital only game that I may not like including I'm on a lengthy vacation from work.

rlow11d 5h ago

It looks amazing, I’m hoping the reviews are solid. You can tell the studio really poured their heart and soul into this one.
