Incredible visuals in this cinematic trailer. It gives me "prologue" vibes. These are traditional to all From games, and it seems this is the one we'll see at the start of Elden Ring. Super intrigued by the story and characters presented. Tolkien influence is unmistakable. Then again, Martin himself is a Tolkien successor, practically.
I guess I dig the lighting, in some scenes it is inferior to the originals though. My main complaint here would be that overall it looks like Fortnite or Sims to me. Character models especially have this plastic look and shine to them, like these are action figures. Very bizzare stylistic choice. If there was any artistic direction here at all... Characters look separate from their surroundings at times.
Everyone praising this ugly mess should go back and compare the remasters to the originals. Some of the details and interesting visual solutions R* were able to achieve in 00's are gone in this. It looks plain now, and plastic. What a failure.
Uncharted looks super bland and uninspired visually.
The falling scene is horrendously obvious green screen nonsense (poorly executed too) where you can see Holland just lying on a green matrass istead of falling through the air. All in all it looks like it has nothing to offer in the context of similar movies that came before and did it so much better than what we see here.
I am curious abou HBO The Last of Us though, since it is being made by very very talented crew of people, such as Craig Mazin, Kantemir Balagov and Drukmann himself. And under the HBO banner, no less.
i would honestly love an even more complex, unique, pedantic, crazy gameplay in the sequel. i love this about the original game. i'll be happy with whatever from Kojima, be it a new ip or DS sequel. the man is one of a kind and he is yet to dissapoint.
@JJ2 ND being very precious about it to the extent of yanking it from the hands of another studio and making it them selves sounds realistic, because ND is a studio of absolute perfectionists and they care deeply about this particular IP reputation. And remake of the first game being made just in time for the TV show hype, which, with Witcher series proved to be quite a deadly combo for additional sales, makes a lot of sense also. So, it's really likely.
@Porco not necesserily the case. TLoU Remake and Factions for TLoU Part II is unlikely to take up a whole generation to make. I would expect at least one other game from Naughty dog in the next 5 years. Which, admittedly can very well be TLoU Part III haha
@Ken_Kaniff i actually prefer their new controlled, gradual approach with State of Play. Instead of adding it's own announcements to the pile of informational noise that is E3, Sony did well to distance it's brand from it and be more mindful about the time frames for information dumps about it's projects in development.
You have to understand that E3 has an extra quality of a competition, and wether or not you have enough content to show at that given time in June of a given year, will affect the way general public thinks about you. So why invest time, money, stress and risks into this show that is cringe as hell to begin with, when you can do it your own way entirely. More direct, time effective, meaningful and ultimately cheaper way of doing things. They were on this trajectory for a while, before calling it quits entirely.
So, beside a possibility of an even more balanced and direct way of communicating with fans, what they do now just makes sense to me. E3 can die right now and i will not pity it for a second. There was a time when it had it's use. Now, with the immediacy of information flow, it is dinosaur bones.
BtS was badly acted and the writing wasn't half as engaging as the original game. Although the dlc chapter with Max had the original's beauty and emotion.
@SterlingEyes finished Demon's Souls Remake today, which previously was the only Soulsborne game i haven't finished. Now im all good and ready for the final From torture.
Very much so. I love both Kotor games. To me the ideal candidate is of course Obsidian, since i love Sith Lords the most. But apparently it's someone new and not very famous. The news are thrilling, none the less.
I love Lazlow. Ever since i was a kid playing III, and having a very limited understanding of english language through to V, where he made a full blown cameo. I want a tonal shift within GTA series for a long time now. But not having Lazlow on the radio in VI will be weird. Best of luck to him and his close ones. I really hope he revamps his podcast presence in some shape or form. Lazlow Show was brilliant.

Phil's rationale here seems a bit unfair at best. That phrase Is a poor justification for the lack of next gen caliber games on the new Xbox. Just work hard on your first party line up, man. Don't need to be all smart about how to twist public view of your console with this ***** philosophy. Gamers want great games - that's what its all actually about.

Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think of the Latest State of Play Livestream?
It was okay for the most part, ending on Godfall (and for so long) was a mistake though.
Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think of the Latest State of Play Livestream?
@Akurusu so true. What a waste of space.
