Looks like wolfenstein gameplay with some added camera shake and recoil plus battlefield like environment damage.
Add a metal soundtrack to it and it looks glorious

@Wanturo
There have been multiple vtm games since yh, mostly visual novels though.
Maybe you're thinking of Swansong?
I'm supposed to believe a new developer will get this on track within a year after it being in development hell for so long? 🤔

Gris is ***** great, barely has any dialogue but it's all about the immaculate vibes really. Great 2d platformer as well, kinda reminds me of a two dimensional 'Journey'.

Gonna be weird racing on spa again with normal cars instead of the f1 cars.
20 doesn't seem like a whole lot but I guess you can drive them in reverse as well next to what's mentioned.

@Kienda nah nvm you're right, apparently I suck even harder at maths haha

@Kaloudz forgot to mention btw I saw the thing as well a few weeks back.
I had previously only seen The Thing (2010) not even knowing who Carpenter was and I've actually always thought the 2010 version was a remake instead of a prequel.
So I watched the original The Thing, ***** was mad scary but properly enjoyable. In hindsight kinda bummed it didn't 'feel' as Lovecraftian as Prince of Darkness and Into the Mouth of Madness.
Most of all after watching so many of his movies in succession I can't quite wrap my head around if 'The Thing' is a lovecraftion horror or if the movie's supposed to just be a regular horror flick.
Definitely got more of the latter vibes from it.

@Kaloudz
If anything, Renfield's trailers are more telling of the final product than The Last Voyage of the Demeter is.
Also, Renfield nails social commentary. It's very modern in a good way.
Indiana Jones? Yeah man I watched Indy 5 the day before yesterday.
Been waiting for it to hit digital forever 😭😂, which is crazy btw cause I distinctly thought the first three movies were a bit of a letdown.
For reference I never watched the IJ movies before this year, I ran through the first four like 2 months ago.
I think they hold up pretty well actually but I dislike the whole schtick about Indy discovering something only to be captured by the bad guys, just to escape and be captured again later on.
They feel like very forced confrontations if you get my meaning.
But in the end, I always watched the next one because I foremost watch these types of movies because of the adventure part, them figuring out the puzzles, going to some exotic location and seeing mystical stuff.
I guess it's why I like the Uncharted games so damn much, and thought the movie was pretty fun and not all that bad.
I'd still rather have Mark Wahlberg as Nathan Drake though 😂
So after watching the first three I wasn't keen on watching 4 because I was led to believe it's somehow worse than the others but I ended up liking, especially Mut's character wasn't as bad as people made him out to be.
I hadn't seen the whole Greasers vs Jocks (I think) depiction in quite a while either so it felt more genuine transporting to a different era.
The s***tiest thing about IJ 4 is the ridiculous accent Cate Blanchett, apparently because it was on short notice, did through its entirety. I was cringing every time.
Ayy ngl I wrote this whole thing up before reading your last paragraph lmao, but 5's fine man. Kinda nice having a german villain again, stunts ain't all that bad either for an 80yo. The whole "I'm too old for this *****" schtick isn't drawn out either.
I prefer it over the others. Wasn't quite as good as I had hoped Mangold would make it though, I must note.
It would be cool if they manage to secure Harrison's voice actor for sure.
After 5 flopping it looks like Disney won't pursue the IP which I think is a shame, would definitely like a limited series or sth similar, wouldn't know who they could get for it though with everyone being so damn old lol.

@Kaloudz ehhh I don't want to hold you off from wanting to watch it but lemme explain nonetheless
I dunno if you've watched the BBC series (january 2020) with Claes Bang.
A three episode mini series based on some chapters from the book. I haven't watched it since but from what I can remember its second episode, based on chapter 7, handled the source material better, despite not having read the book.
The movie felt a bit lacklustre, disjointed, and not quite as thrilling as it should've been. The transition between day and night should've felt more like survival but instead it felt like just another take lol
It lacked a bit of a punch, though granted it had its better parts.
It also wasn't even the best Dracula movie this year, despite being two entirely different spins on the IP I much prefer Renfield.
Anyway don't let me get you down mate, I hope you enjoy it despite my ranting 🫡

@themightyant don't you think one could argue though that the 87 score is more likely to drop than stall or rise when the ignored parties launch their reviews 👀

Will be interesting to see who will get #1

@Kaloudz nah I haven't, never even heard of them. Apparently there are two sequels, both direct to dvd so I'll skip out on those.
But the first being a neo western action horror movie about vampires is enough to convince me. I'll watch it before the end of the week!
Actually happened to watch the Last Voyage of the Demeter yesterday, very middling and I can see why it was released on digital within nearly two weeks. It's made me wanna read Bram Stoker's Dracula, been meaning to read something else anyway.

@Kaloudz I've not seen reviews of either game anywhere. I'll be watching the DF vid on Starfield so I'll know what settings I might need to play with beyond the usual ones and just as a general idea of what to expect performance wise. Other than that I'll try and go in as blindly as possible.
A friend of mine convinced me to play Sea of Stars and I wasn't interested in playing it prior.
By store reviews, do you mean the reviews on the console's store?
If so, I never check those anyway because it's mostly empty like there aren't any reviews or there might be a review with no text. Even if something is written up it's nonsensical.
Feel like there might be a character limit to it the way no-one manages to write anything comprehensible lol

@Kaloudz you've succesfully waited long enough to have to pay to play lol
It's pretty fun man, I quite enjoyed it years back. Suppose it's gotten way better since as well. Would recommend (not for the story though)

@OrfeasDourvas proper xbox gamer lol
@Kaloudz ayyy I'm tryna have Sea of Stars tie me over as well untill Starfield finally releases on day +6

Bring on Dead Space and Wild Hearts already ya cowards
@Kaloudz it's an mmo tbf

@Kaloudz it's Bruce Campbell as Ash from the Ash vs Evil Dead (2013) series.
Been watching lots of horror stuff lately, Carpenter, Garland and Raimi's Evil Dead for instance.
The 2013 show is one of the best things on our not so green earth.
@Amigator ohh okay. Honestly expecting machinegames to randomly do a third person action adventure game is a bit odd yh.
Mirror's Edge but more fleshed out is a good shout, maybe a mixture of Ghostrunner in there as well but more cutscenes.

@Amigator why do you think that? I'd think Kaloudz is on the right track

@Rmg0731 it's not much of an 'internal' memo anymore yeah but I kinda like them

Yh sure, 5 was a bit limited. Well done with the skiff and all as far as transportation goes. But I'd like more.
Preferably do multiple destinations like the island in 5's dlc

@Lightweight lmao I trash people all the time but you must've done tremendously well for someone to do that 😂😂
You happen to play pro clubs and looking for a club? 👀

@Cashews you're about to get every single xbl user banned lmao 😭😂
@bpomber lmao I rate it, ya should be happy you didn't comment it anywhere on xbox else you would've been treated to a ban

@Foxx_64740 chorus is pretty damn great, but I haven't even played anything else from that list except dmc 4, which I couldn't stand because it's corny af.
If you have gamepass they recently dropped Everspace on it which I think looks pretty similar to Chorus, if you like it enough I suppose you could go for Chorus.
But they're all pretty different games tbf so depends what you're feeling.

Ah speaking of I do hope quick resume works as it should on this one

Never played Payday before, I hope 3's quality. Really looking forward to heisting with some friends 🥹

@Kaloudz just messaged you buddy

@Kaloudz ya shoulda gotten it now

@Nightcrawler71 aha, I was wondering whether they'd drop a trial. Guess I'll have to wait for the full game to drop to give it a try.

Looks nice but not all that dynamic 🤔
Gonna have to test it out meself

@Hutchilawd I'd highly disagree, feel like I mention it quite often but I think it's great.
Actually looks distinctly different compared to other racers because of the effects and it just plays well. MP is lacking in content and SP might get boring fast but it's definitely worth a try

I know for a fact I'll somehow mess up in applying the wrap and make the xbox look infinitely worse lol

@Kaloudz nah it's only the gear shop man, buy some shirts or whatever. I haven't checked the store yet but it was mostly branded merch before.
Last time I entered in 2021 I got my rewards three days after in my mailbox.
Apparently I ended in the top 2500 back then 😅

@Kaloudz huh, that's pretty surprising. Here I was thinking at least the top 10 folks must've used AI but maybe they used a different one. Or they actually just knew that much.
And yh speed must've mattered a lot, got one answer right within the last few seconds somewhere half way through and ended up staying in the exact same rank lol
Any plans for your shiny newfound tenner and the gear shop code 👀

@Kaloudz ohhhh nice, how'd Bing not manage to get you top 1 though. Did you get any answers wrong?
This is why people don't use Bing lmao

@Kaloudz #397, how about you? You get to google anything within the 12 secs?
Pretty neat btw, for some reason I thought top 500 got a $10 gift card instead of $50.

@Kaloudz lol yh depends on how fast you are I suppose, I think it was 15 secs or so

@Kaloudz noo worries I got nowhere near top 500 the last time I tried this.
Starting gaming in 2016 and knowing ***** all about gaming history apparently translates to being bad at gaming trivia, who could've guessed 😭
I survived exactly one round when I did this before.
Best of luck though 🫡

@Kaloudz alright Kaloudz you convinced me to sign up

Is this not getting an ea trial?

Ngl pretty hard, might've chosen a better angle though. And would've preferred to see a different player.

@Tonmoy nahh why'd you feel the need to attack my man mozzy 😭
Word to mozzy because he's right, these 'up to x resolution and fps' are as useful as the pc requirements a dev releases for the 'targets' their game will hit but in most cases just calling them 'minimum' and 'recommended'.
Very non-telling in both cases

Bruh I thought Devoted Studios was plural instead of being one studio assisting them.

@Fiendish-Beaver wait so why pre-order then? Aren't you expecting aveum to get a pretty steep pricedrop shortly after launch anyway? Seems pretty doomed if you ask me.
Happy gaming

I've never bought cod, played a few, but a zombies mode in mw feels wrong. Not unlike zombies in the original wz.
But still, it's nice to have. Hope it doesn't take away from other game modes, cough campaign cough

Looks pretty fun

I still keep pressing it because I think it's my games and apps 😭😂

@somnambulance
Ayyy I don't even know if the previous games had it but now I can justifiably be angry.
@Ep_13
I mean, people bought Halo because they promised the same thing but never delivered on it. Besides Xbox Game Studios has proven to still be quite a mess so trusting on blind faith seems a bit dumb.

Would be very surprising

@Kaloudz joggers mate

Getting a call from mr moneybags himself must be pretty neat. But stil kinda weird for these deals to happen like this, I'm sure the fine print is all done in handwriting after but how do you know it's not just an impersonator on the other end to begin with lol?

@Markatron84

packed full of microtransactions that generally don't carry over into the following year's game.

I thought they did nowadays, since wz?
Been playing cold war for a few days and I've surprisingly found out that I have some reticles and skins and whatnot. It all says it's from some season pass or sth as well, figured it's from an older game.

@Markatron84 you'd hardly be at school what with the amount of times the students get attacked 😂
