I'll be honest, I thought this was like a remake from a blast from the past game called Hooligans:Storm over Europe. A bad game that I probably had too much fun with as a kid. This just looks a bit like Two Point: Football.

Wow, that's actually insane. Big applause to him and props to FC Bromley for supporting the project and believing the story. Makes me want to watch Moneyball again.

Been replaying FO4 since I finished the series. Fallout still has one of the best settings out there. Only hurts me more that we probably won't see another Fallout game before 2030. What a shame they can't pick up on this momentum.

Yet I do believe even though it's more wishlisted, the games you mentioned WILL sell and, in my personal opinion, BE better.

I own all consoles. So if I see a game I like, I can play it. If everything were to release on one console however, there would be no need for competition, or spend billions in R&D.

For me: perfect, I got everything on one console which makes it cheaper. For the companies involved: not so great. I do not see Xbox imploding. What I do think is that we'll get timed-exclusives launching on GP, then jumping platforms. It's smart from a business standpoint. Not so great from a brand/fan standpoint. All I hope is that they're not even more investing into cloud since I really dislike cloudgaming. (Lag related, personal)

@Kaloudz no Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Jedi games for you? I thought those are kinda the highlights

I remember this P3 FES being the first time I played a Persona game. I had already played SMT, but damn, what a groundbreaking game that was. It really left an impact. It laid the foundation for all other Persona games. I will be happy to replay it again.

@Arxagelos CRPGs mean Computer RPGs, but mostly refer to games like Baldurs Gate 3, Fallout 1 and 2, Pillars of Eternity. This is a western RPG, with emphasis on NPC interaction, so I beg to differ about janky visuals.

Everyone was bitching about Starfield, but this ***** is ok? Unbelievable. Makes Starfield GOTY.

Calling it, just like I called Redfall, this game is going to flop (though not on a degree as Redfall but still). They have a lot of polish to do on animations, combat (not visceral enough, ie. cuts or bruises on enemies, bloodsplatters on the ground, weight of weapons, ...), the FOV was weird as hell, like somekind of VR game. I mean story could be good. Still Obsidian. But nothing was groundbreaking, impressive or interesting to me.

They way one of those devs described a simple choice & consequence in a 'post-Baldurs Gate 3' world is baffling to me. For me, these choice & consequences should be standard almost in a western RPG (not necessarily on a scale of BG3, but still).

Just finished Yakuza 4, started 5 just now. Fun games. Not gonna try and 100% them though.

E. Ara was the only interesting thing for me, and that's stretching it.

Still waiting for it to come to EA Play 😅

Looks dead on arrival to me. Maybe fun for the first couple of days, and then to 100 people playing it within a week. Meanwhile, still playing Stick of Truth and Fractured but Whole.

Also getting rather sick of the plastic 3D visuals from THQ. South Park is meant to be played with the cartoon visuals.

I'd be more at ease if it was hinted at, instead of a full blown article about it. That way Microsoft won't crack down on us. But hey, whatever gets your website views right?

@GASEOUS i'm pretty sure no, you're locked to the platform. But I have no experience with this but seems most logic.

Guess I'm becoming a kiwi again for a day.

@AlwaysPlaying don't worry if you're scared of getting spoiled, you won't find any in this video. Just some clickbait, a rehash of the Starfield Direct.

Hardly a surprise right? Everyone who can see and watched the trailer saw that it looked awful. I will not comment on the story, but from a gameplay and a visual standpoint, it looks outdated and just a mess of a game.

Also, why the hell Daedalic Entertainment? Surely there are better and more known studios that this to give the rights to make a Lord of the Rings game? And let's not forget parent company Nacon that hasen't had the best track record with releasing games, like the recent Blood Bowl 3.

As much as I love LotR, I will not waste my money to these spineless cashgrabs.

Let's hope this means the deal will move forward, finally! If the UK will not follow, they can always geoblock certain content, right?

I said this months ago: this 4-player genre is so niche, it must be executed to perfection. But live service games "get better over time", or so they say. Read: you get an incomplete product. And it shows.

Boring combat, same old loot, dumb AI, a stupid stealth system, cutscenes that are just pictures with narration (no immersion), console copies that play at 30fps, and while I've played it on PC with my new RTX4070, I can confirm it stutters and fps drops to a point you can't even look around in the distance. Like I said MONTHS ago: Dead on arrival.

Participant C sounds like Gabe Newell. He also said something among those lines:

"Microsoft offered and even sent us a draft agreement for a long-term Call of Duty commitment but it wasn’t necessary for us because a) we’re not believers in requiring any partner to have an agreement that locks them to shipping games on Steam into the distant future b) Phil and the games team at Microsoft have always followed through on what they told us they would do so we trust their intentions and c) we think Microsoft has all the motivation they need to be on the platforms and devices where Call of Duty customers want to be."

Didn't Microsoft say the ratio is 70-30 for Sony? From a business standpoint, releasing it first to the biggest potential customerbase is realistic. That being said, I do believe a Xbox release will be there at launch.

Do not forget: they are still an indie studio, who have a big contract to fulfill. This is not a big company like EA or Bethesda we're talking about with unlimited funding.

I would not mind DLC at all. I loved my time in it, would love to spend more time in it, but hope that they leave last-gen consoles behind and focus on a next iteration. Absolutely loved it.

Question: if I never played this game, do I have to use this workaround?

@Clankylad oh don't get me wrong, I'm not basing my belief on this game in particular. I'm basing it on all the previous games that came before it. Anthem, Evolve, GTFO, Aliens Fireteam, the recent Warhammer game. Were they fun? Sure, some of them. Were they games that we still talk and think about? No. Not at all.

It's a genre that's really niche, and you MUST have a real strong product to keep your consumers attached to you. And that's what I believe. The people will get bored and leave, before the game gets real good with patches and updates. Just like every other game before it.

Going to make fanboys angry but... I believe the same fate awaits Redfall. Though Redfall has a bigger team/studio behind it, I don't believe it will go on to live in the sunset for the next months to come, let alone years.

I voted for the six month window, but with a huge asterisk.

Six months before launch is a great moment to show off story, gameplay, mechanics, vibe. I'm not a market person, but I for one tend to pay more attention to things the closer to date it gets, wether it's about games or life stuff.

That being said, I do like a dry announcement like Elder Scrolls 6 did. Just a big banner saying, "Yes, we're doing this, you'll hear from us when we get there."

Remember how everyone got mad at Blizzard for not telling us if they were working on Diablo 4? We all knew, but they didn't say it. Did they have to make a cinematic about it? No, that's just bonus.

I guess what I'm saying is, say what's going on with your company/IP without putting dates or revealing mechanics.

I don't get why there's so much hype for this game. From what I've seen, it's a 4-player co-op, probably with gear and whatnot so you can do the same thing at a higher level. After that, it's probably more of the same, not in matchmaking because no comms, get frustrated, uninstall and forget 2 weeks after launch.

Also, being an adult means having responsabilities. Getting 4 adults to play the same game at the same time? Fiasco. In my book: dead on arrival.

@Sebatrox most likely. EU never get perks likeApple+ or Paramount+ or whatever.

I've played an hour or 2 before going to work. It really is a Stardew Valley clone. The gifts, routines, crops, tools, mine (dungeon), even the evil greedy corp. It's all practically the same. If you like these kinds of games (like me), perfect.

Some of the things that are different, obviously the graphics, bugcatching, I saw diving too, probably some events that happen through the year. I'll definitely play it some more. I also realise this is Early Access, so things are bound to change/be added. It's a good start.

@Sol4ris I'm pretty sure because this is the first time this game is releasing on Xbox, they just made the game next-gen. Note, it doesn't sound like a remaster, so doesn't really matter which version you play. I think it will be about the same as Persona 4 Golden on PC (Steam).

@Kaloudz that's up to you ofcourse! There's a "Tempedia", you can collect them all, but I feel the focus is more on breeding. It's "easy" (but farming) to breed to get perfect stats and thus get stronger and stronger.

@Kaloudz it's good fun! It's a bit harder than Pokémon, but easy to follow. I haven't bought battlepass. I saw ingame it only adds clothes and stuff, if you not into it, you won't miss anything.

Temtem for me, and some good ol' boardgames with friends.

Oh my god, Suikoden 2, actually one the most expensive games to get now on PlayStation 1, coming to Xbox. It's a good time to be alive!

@Lavalera completely agree. Can't wait to get some more Japanese goodness on my Xbox, even if it doesn't come to GP!

I actually played this game on my PC, since I didn't have a console yet. It was one of those "PC master race" moments, when I saw all those bugs and loading times on consoles. I remember the most annoying stuff for me were the cops spawning in the weirdest places, but other than that, I had a great time with the game.

Don't let other people say what you should like. Bugs aside, the gameplay, world and story were excellent and I wouldn't mind a visit in another cybercity.

Not surprised this will absolutely tank. 60 bucks for a game that failed to wow it's scarce diehard fanbase. Count me out.

I really hope they don't do another 3D rendition of South Park. I think the reason those RPG games were so great was because it stuck so close to the source material. I looked great, was funny and catered to gamers.

I think most people are too young to remember how bad those first games were. The Acclaim SP was and still is hot garbage, and SP Rally tried to emulate Mario Kart and failed miserably.

Do we REALLY need/want a Mario Kart in a SP skin, or do we want a SP game with SP humor with SP graphics?

Let me phrase it like this: would you rather watch a Spongebob cartoon, or watch a THQ Nordic Spongebob episode?

@Tharsman Yeah, tabloid journalism. In big words it's called sensationalism. Really not a fan of this. Use clear, useful titles. We'll read it anyway. It's not like this is Nintendolife with many articles a day.

On topic, game looks bad, it's a pass from me.

Very nice, breaking the crossplay barrier even more now. Now I had to use the phone app to play with people on discord. Halo isn't the only crossplatform game out there!

Don't understand the big deal about FNAF tbh.

Persona. Enough said.

I hope everyone who even only has a REMOTE interest in Final Fantasy or action RPGs plays this game. It has some of the best storylines ever in a Final Fantasy game. It's so hard not to spoil for this game, so please, PLEASE just play this game. You will not regret it.

Well, let's hope they finally fix the plethora of bugs with Gameservices, error codes and games taking up space you uninstalled.

Very annoying artstyle. I'll pass.

They totally picked the wrong planet and style to showcase this game. They took a "dead" planet (very boring colors) and showed how to shoot a gun. I wanted to see more narrative, more factions, societies.

Kind of a bummer for me. Atleast those facial animations looked good.

Well, time to replay all of them again! Loved every second of those games and will gladly replay them. Atlus is one of my favorite companies. I hope these games do well on gamepass so they bring more to Xbox.

I'm really hoping to see some more Forza Motorsport. As for my longshot, which I believe will sadly never come, Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

One can only dream.

Very boring show. Lots of pixel indies. Getting kind of repetitive. Maybe Ship of Fools if it's on GP. Coral Island looks promising.
