the real reason microsoft bought so many studios is so that they can match the output of a single older studio

They are just vertically integrating, same as any other big business in any other industry.

What a literal shit show. Every time I alt-tabbed back to it, it was another candy-coloured, stylised, Snarky Joss Whedon-written crapshoot set to an atrocious soundtrack. A couple of exceptions, but a stark minority. I know it's normal for the current adult generation to "not get" the incoming generation's culture, but zoomer aesthetics are objectively terrible. Only sat through this embarrassment for Todd.

P.S. Pentiment is what happens when Josh Sawyer plays South Park and decides to Balance everything about it.

 

[Matador]

All protagonists are entitled,ugly and masculine lesbians.

Hope everyone had as much fun shit talking and laughing at the show as I did.

Best part - Reading the dex
Worst part - Starfield character creation

Man microsoft owns every IP known to man, and that's the best they could do.

Liked the medieval kingdom sim trailer.

Yes medieval Rimworld is interesting. And I liked the look of Lysara: Summit Kingdom. I've never played a single city builder before, so take that as you will.

I must have missed that one. Looks like something I would like. Thanks

Todd's presentation had a couple of moments, like the first big creatures shown are mudcrabs spacecrabs and then there was that "see that ship? you can fly it" moment

And yeah, it's 2022 and Bethesda still hasn't learned how to do proper seamless loading, something a bunch of German nerds did in Gothic (2001 ), along with other advanced features for the time such as NPC schedules.

Overall it was out of

 

[Venser]

Couldn't sit through the PC presentation even tho I looked forward to it. Looked like absolute garbage so I quit early.

Summer Game Fest in an nutshell:

 

[Derringer]

All I saw in Capcom's stream was dogshit, Monster Hunter and VR garbage. And the usual announcing ports for games they already fucking ported.

 

[Fedora Master]

The fuck did you people expect?

 

[Duraframe300]

They're doing another show. Pete Hines just finished talking about Starfield:

[The Wall]

They're doing another show. Pete Hines just finished talking about Starfield:

Pete Hines talked with his Bull
He agreed to let him steal his spaceship in Starfield

So Fallout 4 with space ships is the most interesting thing to come out of this shit show? Is that where we are here?

Yeah.

It's possible I'm just getting older and am disconnected from what's hip in games, but it feels like the last two-three years have been lacking - even from just a blockbuster appeal, not even taking into account the actual quality of the games.

Like... it's all remakes or remasters.

Feels like 20 years ago the show would have been "new Zelda, new Metal Gear, new Halo, new Final Fantasy, new Metroid, new Resident Evil" etc - not speaking to the quality of the stuff, but what's the point in having a big ass Summer festival for games reveals if the spectacle isn't there? Now we got... what Resident Evil and Last of Us remakes and Starfield.
