Xbox Developer Direct returns on January 23rd, 2025

The fact that you can alter your game in multiple ways is genuinely amazing stuff that i think will lead to multiple challeges online .

They need to chill. They’re showing us what a complete game looks like.

Same, perfect birthday present too :slight_smile:

If Xbox wants buckets full of money from studios outside their teams, i would highly think allowing Id tech to be used by studios outside the xbox team like how Epic does with Unreal Engine would be very smart. It would actually make Epic do great innovations for their own engine. Its a massive win on all angles and i think the best thing ever would be to have RomeroGames be the first to help in that regard.

PLATINUM TRUTHERS VINDICATED.

Excellent show.

Nice showcase. Really liked how meaty Expedition 33 seemed. One of my fears for that game is that it would be a corridor JRPG like FF -XIII

I’m sure they’d be glad to, but they’d have to invest tens to hundreds of millions to get the tools documentation and training to the point that UE is at. UE is just so established and entrenched. There’s a good reason even other Bethesda studios have opted for UE instead

Ok, that made me laugh.

Now that Kamiya’s gone and this seems to be the full studio behind the game this time, I’m actually excited. I’ve been disappointed with the half-assed games and cancellations we saw last gen, but I’m hopeful with this one.

But the PS5 sells more and that means Sony fans are winners!!! They win the Sony charity drive. The rest of us don’t give a damn

that was something else

… So you just ignored everything I just said then? Might want to do a bit more reading here, and on general development. Just because you have an engine that works for one game doesn’t mean it will even be beneficial to another studio, even if it’s in the same genre. If idTech was built to be more general-focused like UE, Unity, and CryEngine, sure… but it’s not.

Amazing show. Really wish my Xbox wasn’t in storage I’d be downloading NG 2 Black right now!

Xbox Publishing made it happen and bonus, we got a shadow drop of a remake/remaster of a game that is actually warranted for one. Better by calling it Black, call back to first one.

The show absolutely ruled, Ninja Gaiden 4 is a fanboyā€˜s wet dream, South of Midnight continues to look awesome now that the talented developer has a budget and enough time, DOOM has its fans anyway and Expedition 33 is the surprise gamble that might actually turn out super great.

I haven’t seen it, but everything’s pre-summer?

So Avowed, Clair thingy, South of Midnight and DOOM by May? And other stuff on top? Wow.
