An Avowed gameplay trailer has now been revealed during the June 2023 Xbox Games Showcase giving us a look at its fantastical world.
Avowed will be expanding on the bespoke fantasy world established in Pillars of Eternity, and which holds great promise for more in the future.
A wondrous world is hiding in the remnants of Avowed's vibrant take on medieval fantasy, but a rough demo marred PCGamesN's preview experience.
Huh? So he enjoyed it but the ending to the demo was too easy which left him disappointed. Did I understand this correctly? Had they removed or made grenades rare and limited would that made it better? Author didn't dive into the disappointment enough
Complaint over the easy difficulty it's a demo often very early stage gameplay it's meant to be easy it's also not a souls game so I think they needed to temper their expectations.
I imagine they're playing a very edited version where everything is setup for them to succeed
It doesn’t need to be a souls game to have some sort of challenge to it. I’ve played demos you couldn’t just button
mash through. Maybe they did make it easy on purpose maybe they didn’t. Most great RPGs give you a challenge of some sort. Hopefully this does as well.
This only makes me more interested, I really don't see the appeal of overly difficult Souls like games.
Amen, the souls games essentially are losing a large chunk of their potential audiences by simply not offering difficulty levels. $$$ being swiped off the table.
That would be a great way to lose their entire current audience. I certainly wouldn't play them anymore. I think Elden Ring has shown that they have a big enough fan base to not worry about appealing to everyone. Not every game needs to appeal to every audience. That's how you end up with every game becoming homogenized slop the same as every other game. There's enough AAA games like that for people who want it.
Never played a "Souls" game but Elden Ring is in the top 5 games I've ever played. I loved it.
You should try some of the others they may not be for you I feel like they made eldin ring hard but more accessible than other souls games for players. It's a pretty good into to their genre. I've played them all only beat demons souls, dark souls 1&2, bloodborne, and working through eldin ring taking my time. I could hop into the dlc but just leveling up more and trying to get through the mountain of the giants first.
I love souls games but I also love regular games with difficulty sliders. It just depends on what I'm in the mood for. I can say playing from demon's souls on has made a lot of games super easy to me. Souls game just make you concentrate more.
They made sure journalists played on the journalist difficulty.
But seriously this is obsidian. I have little doubt it will be good....unless this is a turning point for the studio since the purchase.
It's a preview demo designed specifically for a single slice of gameplay shown to only a select few people, not a demo for the general public. Is the writer of this too young/inexperienced enough to not remember the E3 floor demos? They are literally created to show off the game but also be tuned to allow the previewer to finish no matter what, otherwise we get the stupid previews with writers saying they didn't know how to jump or shoot properly.

Yeah, if it's even just half way decently optimised it would run far better on a high spec machine
not much detail or even specs of a PC, just saying series x ran well, still figuring out the s
Bro the series S was a great idea with poor execution. Sad because the potential was there.
@lordo: “ Did the art director mention the PC specs or is this another xbox plug?”
Doe he need to ?
All he needs to know is that promo paycheck is already in the bank 🤣
@anast
Idk if you've seen the recent stuff on it but apparently gamers are impressed by it. Maybe not for you though but it's getting traction
The only time I was wrong was about Cyberpunk being good on release. I suppose there could be a second time. But usually, when they make statements like this, it usually means there's an issue of some kind. If it were another CRPG style game I would be more confident.
He didnt say what PC it was. He could be talking about a Tandy 1000
It also takes us back to 2005 with that game engine they seem to keep wanting to regurgitate!
Not exactly amazed by the visuals. That said, it's Obsidian and I'm just hoping they bring their A-game in terms of the game, itself.
Avowed looked good in the CG trailer but this actual gameplay looks like a knockoff Skyrim.
The game felt like a colorful Elder Scrolls and since the next ES6 is wayy far off ..... this might just be a great substitute next year? Lets wait for more news on this one.
Hopefully, since its made with Unreal Engine, might ship with less bugs than Bethesda's RPGs?
I liked what I saw. Don't know why everyone is hung up on the graphics when it looks like a good version of elder scrolls
