How was this gameplay? At least Ashraf Ismail has a good track record with being the director on Black Flag and Origins.

[nachobro]

it seemed to be all crossgen stuff but since it'll upgrade to the xsx version that seems fine. kind of a good move in hindsight now that corona is gonna kill the world economy and no one is gonna want to buy a new console.

[HardcoreRetro]

Listening to the Bloober guy talk they have the right ideas. Now they just need game design that's worth a shit.

The reception from resetera proves for the millionth time that "hardcore enthusiast" gamers are the dumbest, least versed people possible. With a global pandemic and the global economy about to tank, people have great disdain that a Inside Xbox streaming event didn't have "next gen" games.

Life must not be that different when you never left the house to begin with.

When you hype the event up to showcase next gen gameplay

I'm an essential worker during the pandemic, I don't have the time nor energy to read Xbox tweets about inside Xbox streams. I'm very happy for those that do.

[nachobro]

you'd think the hardcore gamerz who are industry experts wouldn't be taken off guard by seeing that cross gen launch titles aren't bangers out the gate and also would know not to take marketing at face value lol

talking the wider internet, not this board specifically

[Positive Touch]

is there any other hobby out there with such consistently miserable fans as gaming? like imagine if a movie buff saw a movie they hated and then spent the next 16 fucking years searching out online discussions to talk about how that movie was the worst piece of shit they ever saw, all the actors in it were terrible, the movie studio committed some unforgivable sin by releasing it, the fans were idiots, and the entire medium itself has been on a decline since the film's release. that's what it's like talking to a fucking gamer.

That sucks to hear man, and the best of luck to you in these trying times but don't rage on people because Xbox hyped it up as something amazing, when it really wasn't.

When movies become as jaded as games have become, samey shit over and over again, call me back.

The only interesting things I saw were that Island game and Vampires.

The rest was boring in engine trailers. How am I supposed to get hyped behind that?

Pretty boring all told.

The Medium gives me major Silent Hill vibes. Scorn looking as HR Giger as ever (or more?). Nothing else stood out to me.

[Joe Molotov]

When’s Tales of Arise coming out, Scamco, you twats?

"George Lucas destroyed my childhood"

Little known fact: a third of the domains hosted on The Bore's IP are Star Wars fan sites

[Akala]

I really like how they are including the better versions on most of these upcoming cross-gen games, even if there isn't a lot I am hype about as of now. That's never happened before?

[Bebpo]

Looks a lot like God Eater.

[Nintex]

I greatly enjoyed the variety on display and not just seeing the usual multiplatform yearly third party reveals.

Also wanted to share this channel here because there a LOT of making of's he's done and so far they are all amazing, never heard of this channel

[nachobro]

Gamers are worse though, but nothing is worse than comic stans. That's a whole other can of worms. Same with weebs who cross over with gamers.

[mormapope]

To my knowledge, there hasn't been the equivalent of gamer gate or swatting in any other medium than gaming.

As in, the people that treated gamer gate as a serious issue, and the incel droves that demanded fair videogame journalism, to the point of starting a harassment campaign.

[Rahxephon91]

I actually think for a small little showcase, this inside Xbox was ok.

[thisismyusername]

Oh and Inside Xbox but what did you expect? Inside Xbox always sucks no matter how much they hype it.

Do they still do weekly updates that were just former MajorNelson.com blog entries?

(Catching up)

Bright Memory: Infinite looks like Bulletstorm. I'm mildly interested because it won't have CliffyB and "DICKTITS" cringe writing on it.
Dirt 5 looks like Forza Horizon, but will probably be just circular tracks like the others.
Scorn's a Yike's: Hard Pass.
Chorvs looks neat: But no gameplay. Not necessarily for me, though. Plus it's Deep Shillver, so it'll probably be Epic Spyware Exclusive on PC.
Madden 2021: I heard there was a football game at the X-box Beyonce Concert. Moving on... *fast foward screech*
Still no date for Vampire: tM: Bloodlines 2. :| This should've been out this year?
Call of the Sea: Pass.
The Ascent: Ruiner-clone. After Ruiner was ruined for me ( ) I dunno if I have my heart on another cyberpunk cool young dude-stick shooter.
The Medium could've filled in for Vampire, to be honest.
Scarlet Nexus: But it's Scamco-Scamdai.
Second Extinction is from Systemic Reaction, which did Generation Zero which is still EXTREMELY EARLY ACCESS. #FIXYOURGAMEALREADY"RELEASED"AVALANCHE Bikes are fucking worthless in that game, Naruto Running everywhere is faster than the bikes, for instance. Shit is completely fucked up, and now this trailer screams "we're abandoning Generation Zero since it didn't sell well to do this" while I'm seeing this as "we need to scam people a second time to float since we're an Avalanche offshoot" and all I can think is: You should've just done Just Cause 6.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon/Yakuza 7: A re-tread of Yakuza 1's story (beat for beat nearly based on this trailer) just now with an ATB-bar.  (*silently wishlist it and hopefully it'll turn my opinion on the series around*)
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla - Traditional Ubisoft CGI instead of gameplay. Plus it's Epig Spyware Store exclusive on PC. Ubisoft

Meh out of 5.

[tiesto]

This looked pretty fun but nothing that couldn't be done on a Switch. Hopefully it's multiplat and not exclusive.

Star Wars fans almost drove a man to suicide

The guy who killed John Lennon was the head of his fanclub 

GNR fans started a riot cause they wouldn't finish a set 

And nothing compares to the wide scale violence sports fans have pulled

I like making fun of gamers too. Probably the whiniest and most amplified on the internet. But fandoms are inherently toxic, so at the end of the day it's a moot point.

Calling out trash people isn't moot, hardcore gamers fucking suck breh and I don't care if a John Lennon or Kansas Chief fanboys fly a plane into a stadium.

[Raist]

gamergate was a huge delicious hamburger sandwich that was talked about so much because it was in every party's intesrest.

Swatting is fucking awful, but it's not like there's a case every other week.

Every fandom has its extremes that turn into some really awful shitshow dude.


edit: word filter for nuffin burger? Really?

[Don Rumata]

If that was supposed to be a look at next gen power/graphics... oh boy. 
That SSD better be fast. 

EDIT: Some people were expecting "bombs" for some reason, i personally wasn't, but i was looking forward to a showcase of a graphical jump for next gen, yet what they showed (which was mostly AA, admittedly) was very much NOT that, and i'd challenge anyone to guess those were next gen graphics if not advertised as such.
So yeah, it was a completely pointless showcase of a couple of mediocre trailers for some middle of the road games, and showed nothing (i hope) of what this generational jump is supposedly going to look like.

[paprikastaude]

It's been indies and crossgen. There probably won't be great graphical improvements outside of AAA sad dad walking sims.

Yeah i clarified in the edit.
A really bad idea to advertise this as "a first look at next gen" for your "most powerful console on the planet", and then just show a bunch of low budget titles.
Which btw looked themselves pretty derivative and uninspired, for the most part.

[Rahxephon91]

I’m kind of content with where games are at the moment so if next gen is continuing that I’d be happy.

[nachobro]

almost everything seems like it'll be crossgen so between xbone and pc i'll still be able to play all the new shit til the xsx is worth it. works for me.

And somehow I still missed it lol. It's pretty amusing. Some of them you can kind of deduce. Cause probably 3 or 4 of the ones I was able to guess correctly I never actually played.

Another one that pissed me off was

Red Alert 1/2/3. Command and Conquer. And then tapped out. I have never played or seen an actual game of Fortnite though outside of "streamer compilations" or some quick tweet or something. Not sure what the sound effect is for. I'm guessing when the map gets smaller? A wrning for that? That does happen in Fortnite right?

Peggle 2 is 1.19 on xbone right now and I didn't have it so I'm now installing.

Thanks for the heads up - have 400/400 on the 360 version but that doesnt have the DLC. Girlfriend is pleased, and Im happy I get MORE GAMERSCORE

[tiesto]

I got 26/60. The ones I missed that I should've known were Super Metroid, Quake (I guessed Doom or Halo, forgot the other major FPS series), and Max Payne. I've played Portal, Dark Souls, and SH2 but don't really remember their sound effects.

Like, there was no way I was getting Heroes of Might and Magic, Counter Strike Global Offensive, or Age of Empires  And one of the games on the list (Enter the Gungeon) I never even heard of before.

[Bebpo]

How's Mechwarrior 5? I saw it popped on PC Game Pass. Haven't played a Mechwarrior game since like MW2. Used to love them and all in for good mech sims like Tekki/Steel Battalion. Is MW5 a decent single player mech game?

It's most likely the God Eater/Code Vein team.
