Any chance they're saving Elden Ring for the end?

I was hoping to see it, but it won "Most Anticipated Game" or something, which would have been the perfect time to reveal it. Hope I'm wrong though!

Its nice to know that even after a difficult year nobody loves themselves quite like Geoff Keighley. A Geoff Keighley among us mask :rolleyes:

Mass Effect 4.....in 2024?2025? Dragon Age seems ages off still.

Does Keighley have something on these people to make them do these presentations for him and mention his name of course.

That's that. Goodnight!

Fair play for all the trailers, Mr. Crispy.

Liara? Wow, they're actually going back to the OG crew. No complaints from me, I adore that trilogy and those characters.

Zero-Cool

Nice one Mr. Crispy, I'm all caught b up! Was not expecting next mass effect reveal but feel like it's too far off to be showing anything.

Kiith

Nice to see Dragon Age and Mass Effect, and a few other interesting looking titles in there.

Retro is gonna enjoy this one

What did I miss?

None of those announcements excited me at all. Ghouls n' Ghosts resurrection is the only one that has my interest piqued and even then it looks very like Ultimate Ghosts n' Goblins which wasn't very good.

I liked the look of the Capcom arcade but then I noticed this is basically one game being free and other games being sold in packs so it basically is like any other compilation except sold in a different model.
The Ghosts N Goblins game looks like a 2014 iOS game.

The new Fullbright (Gone Home) studio’s game looks gorgeous - the heavily stylised characters against the more traditional backdrop are really striking. Wasn’t super fond of Tacoma, so hopefully this’ll work better. They do have Keri Russell and Kaitlin Dever on board, which is good

Season looks outrageously beautiful too, in a way that’s very different to the ways video games usually look beautiful.

Had a look at the award winners. Pretty crappy popularity contest. Last of Us 2 walking away with a bunch of awards it didn't deserve (and missing out on one it did with soundtrack but it was a tough year there). Do agree with Laura Bailey and the accessibility award it got.

Hades at least one something.

I think you are referring to Sephiroth in Smash? Kind of think it's awesome although nothing will ever beat Kefka making fun of Seph in Dissidia.

ELITE DANGEROUS ODYSSEY!!!!

Perfect Dark the clear favourite for me anyway.

The only good perfect dark game was the gameboy colour one. The original was janky and got really bad once Elvis the alien appeared and Perfect Dark Zero is garbage.

It has potential though if they reboot it well but it's a franchise that hasn't delivered and from a studio that is unproven.

Will the laptop gun be replaced by a tablet gun?

Only watched a few trailers so far but imagine if there was a rule imposed where trailers had to be made up of at least 50% of actual gameplay footage.
And I don't just mean for this show

Flight Simulator coming to xbox next summer. Awesome

Yes but Xbox Series X/S only. Important distinction. Will not be on Xbox One.

So it's really one of the first truly next gen games on Xbox. (The Medium, coming out next month is also only next gen).

Yep - MS Flight Simulator - it's the Xbox killer app - finally ! Beautiful stuff.

Perfect Dark is yet another dystopian/zombie/fps/doom/halo yoke. Zzzz.

Mr Crispy

If they're smart, they'll play up the secret agent angle with Perfect Dark, rather than go for straight-forward shooter.

I really hope so. They have Halo for the bombastic linear FPS, so let this be more akin to Arkanes offerings with multiple pathways in each map and ways to play as Joanna (one-woman army, silent assassin, hacker, unseen ghost etc)

I don't see what the past games being rubbish (who says garbage here?:D) has to do with new reboot.

I think it's going to be a huge game and having an impressive cinematic trailer at this stage is promising.

Also, to call it an unproven studio is harsh. They're brand new and recruited top staff from the likes of Rockstar, Naughty Dog & Bungie.

I think this studio has big ambitions and Microsoft has big plans for it.

It's mad the appeal of Flight Simulator, no interest in it myself but I know a couple of gents of mature vintage, one retired one not far off it who were wetting themselves over this latest one having played older ones for many years. My bosses husband was asking me about an Xbox "for the grandkids when they are over" and if it ran flight sim earlier too

It should show off what the console can do and connected to a decent TV will look amazing. Plus it's the sort of game that'll be mentioned in media apart from gaming. And it's got more universal appeal than most other Xbox games. Also, you've got the whole world plus real time weather on it pulled in from.a huge cloud service. So, it's unique in that respect. Also, it is a very authentic flight simulator with airline pilots praising it. Plus with all the crap news at the moment who wouldn't want to fly past the Pyramids or Sydney opera House or even over your own house. Also, it'll be free on game pass I presume. You can start off with baby controls and work up to a jumbo jet. Brilliant !

Mr Crispy

An ever so slightly extended version of The Callisto Protocol's trailer has been released, with a little extra gore.

There are a few tidbits of other info over at PC Gamer, taken from a Q&A session Glen Schofield had on Discord.
