I still say they should just drop the whole “awards” nonsense and call it "Winter Games Fest " or something. Only reason to tune in is for trailers anyway, it’s a 3 hour ad. Just drop the pretense and maybe shave an hour off, and just show a bunch of cool shit coming in the near or not so near future. Leave the awards thing to BAFTA and DICE etc
Digital Foundry awarded Doom TDA best graphic. id is built different.
Asus managed to restock Ally X to Best Buy to arrive before Christmas. If you’re interested to gift one or for yourself, now it’s your chance.
Working towards a build is one of the things I find to be fun about playing a game, I might not click with right away, because it really gives me a reason to keep going and learn to love it sometimes. Divinity Original Sin 2 and BG3 are games that don’t really click with me right away but working towards a build and learning the game really helped sell them to me.
Now I’m doing the same with Pillars 2, I just find the UI to be a little confusing.
im going to go on an old man rant here and say i find it hilarious that people are whining about games being announced and released in 2027. My dudes, we are 1 year and half a month from being in the year 2027! I know nowadays we get shorter times between announcement and release but people acting like 2027 is 7 years away or something! And also people complaining about Fate of the Old Republic possibly being 5 years away, i mean just the other day we had no idea if we were getting any future Old Republic games (besides the remake) and now the goalposts have moved to “its too far away” lol
What happened in Bondi is awful. There is someone from my country that was killed there, I learned. I’m thinking about our australian friends today. It’s a sad day.
Just saw more info on the shooting on Bluesky, and it’s shocking as hell to hear about in the US but places like Australia that have had gun control laws for so long makes it seem surreal as hell. If Ahmed Al-Ahmed hadn’t tackled that guy and wrestled the gun away from him, it could have been so much worse.
This is just fucked up.
2 or 3 years I don’t care about, but if the studio was JUST founded then there’s a non-zero chance we ever see the game at all. Which is what happened with the KOTOR remake we were promised. I get its for investors and what not, but me personally I prefer announcements for games that have work done. I mean for Xbox, Perfect Dark, Everwild, etc. Games get announced so early them ever coming out is in question is sad.
Yeah, I saw the video of him disarming one of the gunmen. Scary to see. And a muslim too which isn’t surprising to me, but I guess for some people on the right, it is… And he has been shot after that by the other guy. Man, in Australia, from all the places…
Prayers for all families and loved ones from those horrific events.

Well, at least we know this now. Besides, tons and tons and tons of amazing games to play anyway. Do I like it? Nah, far from the end of the world though, right?

What’s that? A year’s exclusivity on yet another 3rd person action game with Chinese/Japanese influences?
This is as shocking as my morning coffee, and about as remarkable.
But i thought Xbox was dead and defeated. Why then spend money for third party exclusivity?

I think Larian needs to work on advertising their own game being released. First BG3 Xbox edition, now this.
Seems to be Smart Delivery, but it’s not appearing as Optimized for S|X yet.
EDIT: And it’s now marked as Optimized, and 60FPS ![]()

Definitely wants to prevent Wilds backlash.
Very cool and fun game and the demo is part of the new Indie demos. Definitely check this out.
