STUNLOCK THE PRESSES: combo breaking news (Part 1)

I thought all the games they showed off have smart delivery though?

I think some will be restricted by licensing agreements. Madden probably won’t have it and possibly other multi-plats.

Wake me up if they talk about Elden Ring.

It’s already finished and all we’re left with is a philosophical debate about what constitutes ‘gameplay’.

Most of the games they showed advertised it but some didn’t which, yeah, is probably down to licensing (since this was a third party showcase thing after all). I imagine all of Microsoft’s first party games will have it. There will be another one of these like next month or so that focuses on the first party studios.

Was kind of a mixture of ambivalent/underwhelmed by this one. Some games are known quantities like Dirt or AssCreed/Madden. Some looked neat like new Yakuza or that Geiger looking game and the rest was just that. The rest.

That very first trailer they showed had me thinking there was a new Crysis and/or a new Bulletstorm and I was like okay whatever then it turned out to be something else entirely by a solo developer and that made me more interested in it than what was actually shown.

Sony unsuccessfully tried to make cross-buy a thing with the PS4 but with the even larger prominence of digital purchases and the standard of backwards compatibility now present, I’m really curious if cross-buy will finally take hold or if we’ll see it used a few times as PR then ignored again. I can see Madden already putting a time limit on it being a crack that widens to more publishers.

They’re going so hard on ‘not a new generation but a treadmill of services’ that it feels like they’re willfully denying the graphics drool people want

can’t wait till the rage over it not being kiryu leads sega to make a sequel to Yakuza 6 called Yakuza 7 in the US, which leads to even more confusion. or just like Yakuza .5. Either way.

Yakuza turning into a Shin Sangoku Musou/Dynasty Warriors situation but with JP and EN reversed would be funny.

Took me a minute

I wish I’d actually had photoshop on hand so I could’ve done it better, but the timeliness was more important than the presentation
