Are you really worried about Gears core gameplay? I actually liked that trailer, I'm very interested in kaits story and how she is going to handle her lineage to the locust as well as her loyalties to the cog. The trailer was showing her inner struggles of this, hinting that she may go evil and crazy at times. Or possibly turn into the villain.
Also, that new MP/Co-op mode sounds really fun. Basically an objective based horde mode, and also you can have community made m...
Ninja Theory or Double Fine?
Did you not see all the talk about Ninja Theory when Bleeding Edge got leaked or at last e3 when they were acquired?
As for Double Fine, just look at this comment section. People acting like they make shit games when they actually make very good unique titles like Psychonauts, Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Brutal Legend, Broken Age etc.
These are all good games and are all pretty unique. They may not be blow...
I love when MS buys a studio and then everyone on here automatically never liked the games they put out. Seen so much negativity towards Ninja Theory and now Double Fine. Lol
1. New Gears mode
2. Double Fine acquisition
3. Fantastic new trailer for Ori 2 and a release date.
4. Battletoads gameplay
5. Halo Infinite
6. A ton of great games coming to GamePass
7. Forza Horizon 4 Lego
Bleeding Edge I was going to list, but I'm on the fence with that one and want to see more about the gameplay, modes, maps and what not.
Well, unfortunately all the new studios they bought were already in the middle of making multiplatform games. So we wont see their Xbox games until next gen I'm sure.
The only reason Ninja Theory had Bleeding Edge ready so quickly is because they had a side team working on it since 2014.
How has Gears 5 turned for the worst? No fable (or whatever Playground is working on) was a bit of a shock. Forza Horizon 4 Lego looks as fun as the hot wheels DLC for FH3 which was highly praised. I was also expecting some gameplay even if it was quick glimpses.
Bleeding Edge is a new IP from Ninja Theory. That Ori 2 footage didnt blow you away? That new Gears 5 mode doesnt sound fun to you? There was a lot I took from that showing that excited me. Maybe you're all too cynical.
I'm not a huge fan of the art direction for Battletoads, but 3 player couch co-op will surely be fun.

Pretty sure it said that it was a real time in engine scene, but I could he wrong. The facial features aren't top notch, but you could tell with the lighting and shadows it was possibly using some ray tracing effects. Smoke and particles also looked fantastic.
Unfortunately launch titles usually try and bridge the gap, and you dont start seeing a new consoles full potential until year 2-3
Yep, that's all they showed. No new game from Ninja Theory, no new footage of Battletoads and Ori 2, no new acquisition announcement, nothing good in the GamePass department... damn only Halo, Gears, and Forza again?
@trooper
The OP brought up Death Stranding
Fable 1 and 2 were great. 3 was a big let down. The kinect game was lame and Fable Legends was going to bomb big time if what I played of the early alpha was going to be the final game.
If a talented dev gets their hands on it I'm fine, but I'd rather someone just make a new IP with silly humor and RPG mechanics. Not try and clone Fable
They certainly set the bar extremely high for the web head.
Just wait until we get next gen consoles. Switch will get even less
@Brave
Can I have a little more context? What are you trying to get at?
Like the first game, I'm fully expecting an EXCELLENT soundtrack
I agree, but it's also still early in the game at this point they said.
Plus on harder difficulties they may be more aggressive as well. Let's wait and see. All and all it looks good to me, at least it's not another online battlefront game.
Especially when they struggle to get most 3rd party games ported. What happens when Xbox 2 and PS5 come out and the hardware and graphics leap even more? Nintendo again will be left in 3rd party dust 3 gens in a row.
90% of this comment section haha
They showed gameplay after the main show. We know what Gears 5 gameplay looks like. Plus, there is a MP beta coming soon. The new announcement of the new mode was fine. However, I was bummed they didnt show more of Gears Tactics.
