whoa ... 10 minutes of Indiana Jones?

crazyCoconuts855d ago

all they got to do is play that John Williams music in the background and I start drooling

outsider1624854d ago

If its a 3rd person globe trotting action adventure..count me in.

--Onilink--854d ago

Also curious as to whether there is any surprise showing, that image certainly looks like it can fit another game (and the whole presentation being close to an hour would also hint at something else being shown), though last time out even with the surprise reveal of HiFi Rush they did include the developer in the image, just not the game, so who knows?

Let's see. With the most developers of any platform they need to make their presence known.

InUrFoxHole855d ago

Their presence is already known. But it's about to be felt...

z2g855d ago

lets have a nice little shadow drop that day :)

Zeref855d ago

Stop it. Not every event needs a shadow drop.

Terry_B855d ago

Going to have two games you can play at the end of the year and 2-5 more trailers for games that are 3+ years in the future ;)

DOMination-855d ago

Meanwhile the other console has only one big game announced for it and the release date was 2026 before the leak.

Not defending MS here but what's your point?

Terry_B855d ago (Edited 855d ago )

Point is about speculating what will be shown and not talking about any other platforms. Since they don't matter in any form.

I look forward to Hellblade II..even if its again more a walking simulator than anything else. Its going to have the music of one of my favourite bands in it. But that we are again just seeing another "behind the scenes" trailer with most likely zero gameplay just sucks.

But revealing it like 5 years before release sucked. And the early reveals are a really annoying xbox problem since years.

Brazz855d ago (Edited 855d ago )

"the other console has only one big game announced for it..."

Hell Divers 2, FInal Fantasy VII, Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Sillent Hill 2, Rise of the Ronin, and more... All Playstation exclusives.

This bizarre narrative has been emerging for some time, that only games published by Xbox and Playstation should be compared.
It makes no sense to ignore the effective list of exclusives, which includes games made by 3rd party! It doesn't matter who "published the game", only if the game is good and can be played on the platform! That Said, partnerships made by Playstation give Sony a clear advantage, Final Fantasy VII is more promising than any Xbox game for 2024.

itsmebryan854d ago

@Brazz

Are those first party exclusive games?

Lightning77855d ago

Two 1st party games this year? Yeah it's way more than that lol.

Meanwhile Wolverine was announced in 2021 and isn't releasing until 2026. Announced 5 years early.

Terry_B855d ago

I did not say xbox will have 2 first studio games this year..I said 2 games in the stream that will be playable by the end of the year.

Wolverine has nothing to do with this xbox showcase I think. And what other companies do neither.

Terry_B855d ago

Eh..pretty doubtful that Ara: History Untold and Indy will be released in 2024.

Zeref855d ago (Edited 855d ago )

Avowed, TowerBorne, Hellblade 2, Flight Simulator 2024 are confirmed for this year. So that theory is already out the window.

Indiana Jones and South of Midnight are likely coming this year as well.

There's also Stalker 2, Ark 2 and ARA History untold from 3rd parties.

Not to mention Call of Duty and other Activision and Blizzard games coming to GamePass and all the other day one GamePass titles.

Xbox gamers are set for an amazing year 😁

Can't say the same about the other platforms though 😬

Terry_B855d ago

Dude. Please look up what this article...and my comment is about. (Pro tip..the Xbox Showcase)

Elda855d ago

One would hope those games are released this year. Until there are confirmed official release dates, those games could end up releasing early or sometime next year.

tay8701855d ago (Edited 855d ago )

Lmao yah ok. Xbox may have more 1st party games thusbyr, but PS has WAY more 3d party exclusives. FF7 alone is better than very single xbox exclusive that is slated for 2024. Add to that other exclusives like rise of the ronin, phantom blade 0, stellar blade, hell divers 2, pacific drive, gran blue fantasy relink, and silent hill 2. The only confirmed 1st party game for ps5 this yr is concord, but their will likely be at least 1 more announced. They will not match xboxs output of 1st party games this yr, but sonys yr is already stacked. There are a bunch of exlcusives already lined up for the ps5 for the 1st 3 months of this yr. Add in there will be some other announcements and Ps5 gets the superior version of most multiplatform games and ps owners are eating good this yr.

purple101855d ago

I’l take

Final fantasy 7
Stellar blade
& Rise of Ronin any day,
Helldivers 2, the proverbial cherry on top

x ✌️

LOGICWINS855d ago

@purple101 Yet here you are...commenting on an Xbox article 😆

Lightning77855d ago

Btw I'm thinking HB2 will release in May. Maybe mid May of this year.

EvertonFC854d ago

You started so well, then looked a tit with the ending.

itsmebryan854d ago

@tay
Sony should invest in their own studios to make quality 1st games and not just buy 3rd party games to keep them from games.

Insert the rest of why Microsoft buying ABK is bad for the industry and games. Then explain why what Sony is doing is different and how great it is. Smh

You said they had 2 games they can play at the end of the year you didn't mention the stream. They have more than that They still have to show off Towerborne and Stalker 2 which are 2024 games.

Then you mention 2 or 5 more trailers for games that are 3+ years away. It's obvious why I mentioned Wolverine. You're trolling Xbox games being years out but overlooked Wolverine being shown in 2021 and isn't releasing in 2026. Insomniac themselves said the game was early in development. Don't make excuse or change your story suddenly you trolled (like you usually do) and got called out.

Terry_B855d ago

Why would I talk about anything else? I read the article, read what this showcase is about and wrote my comment.

Please talk about Wolverine in submissions about that game.

Lightning77855d ago (Edited 855d ago )

Im clearly using that game to go against your argument can you not see that seriously?

And everything you said was wrong, surprise, surprise.

Thats what happens when you troll. Make a better comment next time.

Terry_B855d ago

What exactly was wrong.

According to the article viewers can expect 4 games in the showcase.

Avowed. Ara, Indie and Hellblade II.

Most likely only Hellblade and Avowed will be released in 2024.

Who knows..maybe Indie and Ara will make it into 2025..but I doubt it. So where is this "everything I said" is wrong coming from, eh?

Also look up what trolling means. My comment was not trolling at all..it was a speculation.

I still don't get why you had to bring up Wolverine. It does not matter here in the slightest if another company also reveals games way too early. Yes, Sony is just as guilty. Just like a few other companies like Square-Enix. But the topic here is nothing but the upcoming xbox showcase.

Lightning77855d ago

That's not how you framed it. You said it in a trollish fashion like you usually do. Maybe if you didn't troll so much in Xbox articles I would believe you. Now you're backpedaling. Your intention was to frame it they only had 2 games releasing this year, that was your intent.

Anyway, So where is this "everything I said" is wrong coming from, eh?

2 to 5 more trailers and games are releasing 3 years from now. What are you talking about? Or are you trolling? Because You're wrong.

"Yes, Sony is just as guilty." now you finally understand what I'm sayin I dunno why it was so hard form you to understand and why I mentioned Wolverine.

ravens52855d ago

Why are people giving Brazz dislikes lmao? It's true...doesn't fit the narrative that xbots are tryna put out there? Lol. On topic, I'm looking forward to seeing some Indiana Jones. If this and Hellblade are good I may be gettn an xbox.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio13d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing13d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9213d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit13d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing13d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9213d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
