I feel like I’m watching a showcase from like 3 years ago. Everything is blurring together in a mess of plugs and inconsistent art direction. I feel like the visual rhetoric of next gen gaming is dead and has been replaced by a medley of every genre of advert.

I’m also finding it hard to discern anything from the indie trailers when they’re under a minute and barely communicate a concept e.g. High Water shows sailing around then Geoff says it’s a strategy-adventure game

it’s so hard to make broadly large scaled AAA games that so few companies are doing it at this point which means a lot of it is filled out by indie studios now which are looking more and more like AAA-style games. (or yeah, just not enough info is given about them that you don’t really learn anything about the game beyond the trailer)

i guess the counter to this is the Wholesome games stream where there is a consistent theme but everything blends together so much it ends up feeling sickly sweet

The Quarry looks to finally have a god damn sense of humor again after the miserable anthology games straight-faced depiction of Pazuzu in the Iraq War

im watching this and geoff keeps saying “wow a whole new indie game with industry legends epic team up” and bringing out two people that i have no idea who they are or why they are important even after being told their names

It’s a shame how the selling point of self-expression in Saint’s Row just boils down to neon.

I’d love a feature that just switches the character creation sliders every 5 seconds like this trailer

i feel like if there where a wholsome showcase ( might be due for one soon? idr ) i would at least wanna maybe play SOMETHING. i came in late but there is not a single game from this list i care ab besides soul hackers and like it’s not because it’s gonna have a dub. i already heard ab it from gematsu or something months ago.

if this is the state of games i can see why y’all shit on so many things all the time

the Wholesome Direct is happening early on Saturday (12:30 EDT apparently). i think you’d be surprised re: wanting to play something on that stream lol but maybe your tastes are different than mine.

and yeah tbh i watch these mostly as kitsch entertainment than trying to find stuff to play. that Nightingale game looked not bad to me though.
