I just hope we don't see a huge surge in FPS of the same type and era. This tends to happen when success is in the air and it drowns out a lot of great contenders.

That Indiana Jones spread is amazing. It's a shame EGX (UK) seemingly isn't a thing these days :/

I really liked TDK saga so I'm definitely going to pick this up. The first LEGO Batman was one of the finest in the LEGO series IMO.

Glad that the feedback so far is so good for it. It seems to be quite universal.

Not sure what this means for the IP overall, but I love Halo (aside from Halo 3, which sucked) and cant wait to see where it goes next.

Accessibility is going to be key next gen, and I'm all for it. Barriers and divides have ruled the industry for too long.

The visuals here look amazing. Definitely one to keep on the old radar.

No doubt give this a smash in due course. I never really got into this series and only ever played MGS 2.

Really impressed with GC this year. Lot's of announcements and heaps of diversity.

Wildekin looks amazing, as does Silksong.

Japan would be an exceptional location. Between the landscapes and the city, it could be the biggest release yet - and if they cross plat release day one (which they absolutely shout), I daresay it will smash records for the IP.

Man, what a gorgeous looking game. I absolutely loved Hollow Knight so this is high up on my list. It's not as hard as it looks either (HK) so I am hoping this is the same.

I hope this plays more like F13 and less like Texas. Texas was okay, but it didn't have that magic that F13 had (even with all its issues).

Oh so it was just a controller? Lol. I was hoping for haptics etc... Still, that being said, that is one good looking pad.

They know what they're doing and they're one of the more interesting of MS Studios IMO. I think they'll be more than okay with whatever they have cooking.

@Millionski I'm not a tech savvy person, and you may know the answer to this more than I do, but could PC not play console games natively? Or does that require emulators? (which I know can be pretty hit and miss).

@Coletrain That's a very good point. I'd definitely be happy to have one as a supplement to play the games that suit it, but I wont do that until next gen so hopefully MS reignite the plans to make their first party version.

@nomither6 I might just do that bud. The first one pops up on offer for like £5 so I'll grab it next time it's on offer. I always wondered why the first game always cost more than the sequel during deal weeks.

@JayJ I had no idea it wasn't released over there. Why the heck would they release it here in the UK and not in the US? o-O

Halloween! Made by the same people that made F13? o_O That will be huge. Styx and Tormented look amazing too.

Very interested in 1348 Ex Voto, that one looks pretty decent, as does Edge of Memories.

The Blood of Dawnwalker takes top spot for me here though. This one caught me off guard when it first showcased its cinematic. What a great look story.

@Lup I'll have to give it a whirl lol. If it's as fast as it looks, I'm sadly out of luck...

@Millionski Honestly, I think next Xbox will play not too differently to the Rogs. I think we will be able to play Xbox and PC Xbox, from the console, with streaming available for both. I also think these handhelds (and other supported handhelds down the line) will also play Xbox PC natively, with streaming for console games.

That's pretty big to me. For instance, there's a game on game pass today classed Blacksmith. Sadly it's only on PC game pass and not Xbox. That wont be a problem if I could play PC from the next Xbox, nor is it a problem if I had one of these Rog handhelds. If they can really remove all these barriers, we're in for an amazing and accessible future.

The SE presence was great! Overall though, SH and FF (during the event so far) together with Triangle and FF, have my attention the most. Either way, it's been amazing so far.

I couldn't stick with the first one due to the lighting, but I'm hoping this one isn't too flashy because the first one was funny as hell and this one looks just as hilarious.

@Lup Is it as fast paced as it looks? O_o

Powerwash is one I cannot wait for. I wont lie though, it really sucked when the first one came out for one reason...

PS got Final Fantasy Remake.
Xbox got the ability to clean Cloud's bike in Power Wash...

I'm glad those days are behind us now and it aint long until FF comes out to Xbox

Yeah the tech chat goes way over my head but on face value, and on paper, these Rogs sounds like little beasts. If the price is right (or close to what's leaked) then I think for what you're getting, it's worth it.

I'm a simple guy to please, but that UI doesn't look bad at all. I actually think it looks pretty nice.

If the prices are right, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to be fair. It seems to be well worth it and not "overly" different to what else is on the market (and what they launched at).

It's on GP so I will try it either way (and what a great service this continues to be) but damn, that look so fast paced...

It sounds pretty accessible overall to be fair. It's certainly something I might get in the new year if the feedback is decent, but that's a bit "might" because a lot of folks here advise against it for good reasons. I'm really on the fence.

I likely wont pick one up, or at least at launch, but I wont lie, every time I see it, the temptation ramps up so much. It looks amazing.

This looks amazing. The art design reminds me of that classic GBA game Golden Sun, which I really hope comes back one day because that was one RPG that was way ahead of its time. I'll probs pick this up.

This is one of those series that I've always toyed with the idea of getting into, but never followed through. I'm frequently told to play one and two, and forget three.

Not bad at all. This should do very well on the Switch userbase.

Nah, symmetrical sticks can do one. They don't half make my thumbs ache.

Oh some great additions here. Shame Blacksmith is PC only as that looks right up my street. Now, if the next Xbox really does play PC games, this wont ever be an issue

@bazchillin That's actually a very good point to be fair and certainly not something I'd have even thought of.

@Ricky-Spanish Ah okay, so not much difference outside of resolution and such. Which I assume wont make the world of change considering the screen size anyway?

@JayJ Ah okay. Fair enough. I just remember picking it up and being absolutely buzzing that it was like 4 discs long haha. That was like gold dust back then.

@CaptainCluck Thanks dude. I guess I can get behind it if you liken it to the likes of Dishonoured. That alone makes it a worthwhile consideration. That, and I have a fondness for vampire related stuff

@johnedwin That's a good shout. I played it on the S and it was really good. How does the S2 stack to the S?

@BAMozzy You're absolutely right. And I guess a lot can change between now and then. It's a bit of a shame we're still getting announcements for games years and years away (Cyberpunk and Witcher 4 as well as many others are examples as to why that's not a good thing) because it really does suck.

You're also right that it may be a next gen game. I guess one factor is how long this gen tethers to the next gen, because last gen seems joined at the hip with this gen - which I guess has its ups and downs, right?

There's some really good looking games here. Especially Moonlighter. I hope that isn't in EA for too long...

Good. Glad to hear it'll launch day one. I might get this one as it seems more aesthetically pleasing than the predecessor (for me at least).

I absolutely love what they're aiming for here. It's got a heavy sense of atmosphere and a ton of dread. This might just end up trumping 7 and 8, and I really enjoyed them.

It'll be interesting to see if Black Myth goes multiplat out the gate. All in all though, there's some stellar titles here. The standouts for me are Silent Hill and Resident Evil - as well as Moonlighter.

Routine also looks like it could be one hell of a good time, as does Swords of Legends. Either way, Game Pass has done very well here overall. Looking forward to the rest of the week

P.S. Thanks for all the work guys (staff).

I came in late but from the articles I've seen so far, it seems pretty great for an opening. I'd go B.

@16BitHero I thought as much. Man, back then it was cool. Sure, it was a small feature, but cool nonetheless.

I've never played this series but the trailer is definitely turning my head. Has anyone here played these and can liken them to anything?
