Can’t believe DF this week is just a bunch of reactions to trailers and the one show that had a hardware reveal they skipped 

I’ve beat the first 2 NG games and don’t remember problems with the camera?

Regardless, this looks much better and clearer than other hack slash games I played recently 

Yeah, I read similar that Windows works really bad on a pad so to make this handheld they wanted to really redesign the PC app experience. People complain about it, I don’t really have any problems with it. My only confusion is if using a Xbox pad on PC and press the Xbox home button it immediately moves to Steam lol. It’s like that’s your pad, own that button 

Maybe it’s just after my awful run at Stella Blade it’s nice to see one of these games where the camera is so far back and all of the action is on screen 

When Xbox teased a game next year that has “been with them since the beginning” everyone thinks it’s a Halo remake

For the love of god you will never solve the Halo problem by just remaking the first one. Even Infinite was like a pseudo remake of the first one, just with some current gen trends like open world and hookshots

If this remake a is a complete redo. So not a graphics overhaul but a complete remake like FF7 or RE2, then reluctantly fine. The current Halo story is basically in a body bag so if they want to try a full reboot then fine.

But even then I just don’t think people care and it’s still not a very exciting prospect to get people to care

Bungie did so well with Halo 3 and did what every good creator should do with a franchise where they packed up all their toys, cleared away their mess and left the door wide open for whatever the next direction wants to go. And ever since MS have just been trying to recycle Halo 1 and doing another remake of some kind, just says to me they still don’t actually have a clue what to do with Halo

If the Xbox handheld shows all your PC games from every store in your library I wonder if Sony have a say in that? My first thought was maybe they just don’t care about exclusivity to that degree anymore. Then I remembered at the State of Play they didn’t show a logo for any other device unlike Xbox that had logos everywhere 

One thing that stands out to me on this game is the writing is really characterful. Maybe it’s just for trailer but it’s got that Guy Ritchie, Lock Stock-esq kinda funny and it really works for me. Opposed to 99% of the other game trailers over the week which didn’t seem to have any interesting story, characters or unique writing

He said Fable, E-Day, a new Forza and a game that has “been with us since the beginning” so either Halo or…PGR 👀 (It’s Halo, it’s definitely Halo)

Despite looking like an NRS game this is an internal development team at Skybound made from the core dev team that made KI 2013. So that’s cool. But tbh, I don’t like the look of it, and don’t like Invincible, anyway. So will give this one a miss

Gears of War Remaster deep dive

Despite looking better, I wouldn’t say it looks amazing. I’ve also played this game to death so. Not a lot here for me

Here is 11mins of waffle lol. Xbox people saying the Xbox handheld is amazing. But again not a lot of details. However they did share details on the screen^ 

Sounds like the same type of screen on the Switch 2 but smaller. Which still waiting for someone like DF to review it but sounds not great

It's not included with Game Pass is it?

Damn. My bad. My reading is not working today 

I missed this in the show. It’s a Game Freak game?!

At first I thought it was one of those social, murder mystery games and was like ew. Then I thought it was like Powerwash Simulator and was like meh. Then it turns in to a puzzle game and I was like ooh. 

Here’s the trailer for it. Very light on the details

Uncharted in space, let’s go 

This looked great. Although I kept waiting for the reveal that it was Splinter Cell

But they’ve leveraged the Rog Ally to put Gamepass, Steam and Windows on it (so emulators?)

You’re right that this could be a car crash and something I would definitely wait for tech experts to judge and breakdown

But it looks kinda cool

This was inevitable. 
 

As good as P3R was, I think the glossy style detracted a bit from its dark and isolated tone. I think if they use a similar style it will suit this game much more 

Dropped today on console and on PC! Wonder how the PC version holds up against PS5 Pro

2nd best looking game. October! 

I think the handheld looks really sick but I don’t want 3 handhelds. I’m outnumbered as it is with video game machines.

But maybe one more wouldn’t hurt..

This was the stand out thing to me at the show. Wow it looks good. I just wish they’d gone the whole way and called it Super Meat Boy 64 

I played Black Ops 6 multiple times for all the achievements I have no fucking idea what that BO7 trailer is about

That was a fucking cool show. Token takes craziest announcement but Xbox take best show

Though they’ve got a few games I crash out on hard there were some killer games in there
