Story modes in racing games rules. Diddy Kong Racing > Mario Kart

[Spieler1]

Fast & Furious heavily influenced the series ever since the former came out and I suspect Underground is one of the more famous titles - I don't know what people expect  In the end, I'd buy it if it had good gameplay like from Criterion, but I can't imagine it will.

[MMaRsu]

I dont think this is even being developed by Criterion right? Arent they disbanded after their new open world title didnt pan out?

[nachobro]

Last I heard of Criterion they were making the BFV battle royale so they are still around in some form.

It's being made by the people who made Need for Speed 2015, Payback, and Rivals.

just spent 4 hours getting my old motherboard and cpu out, and installing ( for the first time ever ) a new mobo and cpu.. well it wouldnt turn on..had some cables mixed up..

finally it works like a charm now it's time to see what this baby can do

I upgraded from a Phenom II 1090T 3.6GHZ to a I7 4770 3.4GHZ

So probably will work a lot better in tandem with my 1060 3gb
all second hand cause im on a budget it was only 180 together

IIRC, there's a studio in Criterion's old offices that EA essentially just gave the name, but has basically nothing to do with any of the Criterion people. Criterion was down to like ten people or something and then EA moved people from other UK closings into it and rebuilt it as a helper studio. It still doesn't have very many people.

I know they were designing the BFV BR but I don't know how much of it they actually developed.

Cannot lie excited to see Destiny stuff, can't wait for cross save to be a thing this week.

Can finally fuck off PS4 and actually have decent frame rates and load times. Anyone sticking on consoles I feel really bad for.

[Nintex]

Just in time for Rare and Retro Studios to announce and reveal some new video games.

Will we see a new Deus Ex? Perhaps F-Zero?

still rocking sub 30 fps retro games

I've been thinking what Nintendo could announce at GamesCom and came up empty apart from maybe announcing the SNES games for Switch and a port of another Wii U game.

[Svejk]

I'm most curious on whatever Sega's "AAA" game announcement is.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to be disappointed.

You ain't slick, Microsoft.

[nachobro]

Looks like a bunch of good stuff coming...all these plus Dead Cells too

[Akala]

Gamepass is better than I expected it to be.

[mormapope]

Playing Gears 5 days earler with game pass ultimate
 

Campaign, Horde mode, and multiplayer look excellent and all modes are firing on all cylinders quality wise
 

Having played the multiplayer beta, Im hyped as fuck. One of the best looking and running games on the Xbone X. Gears 5 as an entire package, and getting that package being a subscriber to a service

Turns out to be some civilization/city building sim game... probably the least interesting thing it could turn out to be for me.

Oddworld EGS exclusive and MTG Arena announced as EGS exclusive but it already exists as a standalone client

Yeah... worse than I actually imagined.

MTG Arena announced as EGS exclusive but it already exists as a standalone client

And that client is still available even post-exclusive. Wizards know this isn't a popular move, but still do it for whatever reason.

Also funny that Duels of the Planeswalkers is on Steam, but Arena isn't.

wizards always seems to have been so weird about the online/main clients. MTGO was a standalone game client that basically just loaded a website for a long time.

Me when Kojima shows those weird ass trailers and then says a bunch of nonsense and concludes with "That gives a great explanation for it"

Piss Stranding

 

[nachobro]

dorito pope in the game as a superfan lmao

[Coffee Dog]

Death Stranding looks like it does the same stupid bullshit that every one of his games have done for the past 15 years. His direction style and writing remains unchanged.

It's going to be a hilarious trainwreck if people attempt to take it as a serious drama. Hope the game is fun though.

[nachobro]

well that snippet of gameplay looked thrilling

[Nintex]

Kojima spending all of Sony's money to mo-cap Hollywood actors and Geoff. 

https://twitter.com/thegameawards/status/1163544441589620737



The gameplay:
- Piss to grow a mushroom
- Extend a ladder
- Talk to Geoff
- Fall down a cliff

 

[Rahxephon91]

Death Stranding looks like trash.

[Spieler1]

This is why MGS5 is actually the best Kojima game by a mile. i.e. cut all the dumb story shit his fans (and his ego) grave and focus on letting me sneak through Soviet Russia as fake Kurt Russel without any bs.

[Joe Molotov]

Geoff Standing

[Bebpo]

Kojima's gameplay has always been on point. Cutscene direction pretty good. Easter eggs & attention to detail fantastic.
It's just his writing isn't so good after his co-writer left post-MGS3.

I'm expecting a dumb stupid entertaining story game that hopefully has A+ gameplay and is very replayable with tons of cool stuff to discover.

True, but it is kinda strange that there has been a gameplay reveal about three times now and we still haven't seen any coherent gameplay.
Just bits and pieces of 'stuff' in a big empty world with nothing and vague descriptions of what you actually do in the game.

With MGS he always made sure there was a great gameplay loop in place to support the other entertaining military/sci-fi nonsense and the games had clear goals.
About 2 months before it goes gold and Death Stranding still looks like a concept video.

[Svejk]

Kojima... Broken from the Konami shackles after however many years...  Shit's gonna be amazing.

And yes... I'm justifying the shit outta my pre-order.

[Joe Molotov]

Got boob rubs but we don’t even get to see Norman’s reedus, foh Kojima.

[Rahxephon91]

I don't think Kojima has made a good game since MGS3. 4 was shit. PW was well....I'm not Japanese or into Monster Hunter so pretty meh. 5 was just crap. Good gameplay sandwiched between a bad open world structure and a nonexistent, but still pointless story.

I have no reason to excited about Death Stranding when everything it shows just looks like complete nonsense. He's drinking his own coolaid now but without MGS's homages and humor to bring some balance.

[nachobro]

i think it'll be entertaining one way or another
