Xbox Developer_Direct announced for January 18, featuring in-depth looks at Indiana Jones, Avowed, Hellblade II, Ara: History Untold

[Apenheul]

Thats the old trailer

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II – Official Trailer | The Game Awards 2023

In-game cinematics and gameplay captured by Ninja Theory on Xbox Series X, with music by Heilung. The sequel to the award winning Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrific...

I think that old trailer was a reply to 'still no gameplay footage', showing there was gameplay shown as early as late 2021.

 

[Fantastical]

Really hoping for a good showing for Avowed.

 

[DemonCarnotaur]

Hoping Avowed looks a bit better, and cannot wait for Indy!

 

[k0decraft]

Calling Indiana Jones an Uncharted ripoff would be like calling Dr Pepper a Mr Pibb ripoff

Respect to the "not Dr. Peppers"

Dr. Thunder
Mr. Pibb

If that thumbail is in-game it already looks great.

 

[Mr Evil 37]

Two first-person games

Click to shrink...

First-person games can be good too.

Also, we don't KNOW that Indy is first-person. It's likely, but we don't know. Blade isn't, after all.

 

[Moose]

Excited for Avowed, Indy and Hellblade. One of the few people here excited for ESO reveal too which seems to be Skingrad or Falinesti or possibly both.

 

[aloner]

Yep. Even Disney, the kings of cynical recycling of ideas, believes that Indy without Harrison Ford is not viable. And if even DISNEY won't do it, that says something.

Click to shrink...

I'd be very surprised if that holds true for too long tbh... people thought James Bond would die without Sean Connery, and yet...

 

[jem]

Do we have any idea of whether Machine Games have plans for Wolf 3?

 

[AgentStrange]

Excited for Avowed and Indiana Jones 👀

Click to shrink...

No idea, but I have plans for MachineGames to make Wolf 3.

 

[HelloItsPulse]

I'll never understand announcing a show like this almost 10 days in advance, but it's cool that we are getting something relatively soon.

Hoping Avowed gets a release date.

 

[Pancracio17]

Ara is the only game that will be shown that im not excited about, but thats mostly because I dont really play those kinds of games.

The Avowed deep dive will be fun.

 

[Rocketz]

Looking forward to seeing more of Ara even though I'll be waiting for the console port.

 

[senj]

When is the last time you watched the films ... ?

Click to shrink...

About six months ago. He shoots at least 5 guys in Raiders. If your "90% melee" stuff was even close to accurate he'd have been in 45 fistfights in the first movie alone.

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I'd be very surprised if that holds true for too long tbh... people thought James Bond would die without Sean Connery, and yet...

Click to shrink...

I don't really think this is the same thing. James Bond was an adapted character based on books that existed for a long while before Connery was ever cast.

Indy is just Harrison Ford.

 

[Gavalanche]

All I want is Arcanum Remake and world domination. Why are those two things so hard to get!!

 

[TolerLive]

If Xbox has all of this in 2024 its going to be an incredible year;
Avowed
Indiana Jones
Hellblade 2
Flight Sim 24
Ara: History Untold
Towerborne
CoD Gulf War
Kiln
One more big surprise (Gears 6, SoM, etc)

 

[PRrambo_]

Very excited to see a first look at Indy

 

[Cassius Africanus]

I agree 100% and was going to write the same thing.

 

[Michilin]

First-person games can be good too.

Click to shrink...

They give me motion sickness so unless it's a very slow game I just can't play them. Widening the fov does not help, so I'm outta luck with most games.

The point is people keep making cracks about not seeing extended gameplay of HB2 yet the second trailer is literally a 6 minute gameplay sequence lol.

I think people just thought it was a long cutscene because of how good it looks. There are obviously sections where the camera control is taken away but also clearly lots of sections that show the character being controlled. It's labelled as a gameplay reveal yet people don't think it's gameplay lol.

What's wrong with knowing the show is coming in advance? 10 days isn't a ton of time. Maybe people wanna make time for it or something, take of work, whatever.

Thats a lot. My pessimistic mind says that something in that list is gonna slip past to 2025, but other than Indiana Jones and Kiln weve seen gameplay for all of them so...

Click to shrink...

I mean then make it about how many punches he threw ....

The directors literally said if he relies on his gun the tension is much lower so they try not to and come up with situations where he can't/doesn't have it, good luck with that.

Doesn't mean he never shoots, but yes the vast majority is him engaging in melee. Certainly not the other way around .....

 

[Boopers]

Oh, how fun! I'm looking forward to all these games.

 

[SpartyCrunch]

Just rewatched the TGA 2023 Hellblade II trailer. Chills all over again. Looks and sounds so damn good!

 

[TolerLive]

SoM?

Click to shrink...

South of Midnight!

 

[FrsDvl]

Exited to see Indy, and hoping for a date for Hellblade!

 

[Moose]

I would love a surprise on that Oblivion remaster maybe at not E3.

 

[Charpunk]

South of Midnight!

Oooooh that game.

 

[Astronomer]

What a surprise! Indiana, I didn't expect that

 

[Deleted member 24052]

Man, I hope Fable is not running into development troubles… we haven't heard anything about it at all for like, what, 5 years?

I believe Grubb said dev was going smoothly now. I think Eidos is helping on it?

Probably 2025 or 2026.

They released a trailer last summer. That is not five years.


Sorry missed this had already been pointed out.

There's even a small chance, we'll get the Oblivion remaster or they do Forza Horizon 6. It's been three years since the last one, but even without it, it's still a killer year.

It started in 2023 and from now on, they'll hit 9 or more first party games every year. Excited to see some of them at the direct.

I'm just used to Nintendo's 2 days in advance announcements. This isn't just Xbox though, Playstation does the same crap lmfao, it's just annoying to me personally.

 

[Morten88]

So excited to see avowed and indiana jones. Microsoft got some big upcoming games.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Damn, why so far away?

That's fair. Hype wise, Nintendo seems to be much more effective than the other two. I do appreciate having a little bit of time to prepare to watch it though.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Is the oblivion remaster internal or is it a third party job? Cause Bethesda needs to ship that F4 upgrade goddammit. I need it
