- Thread starter --R
- Start date
It feels so unlikely to get both in the same year. Presumably both projects are PS5 too huh?
Fallout 4 will prob come closer to April around TV show time. It's gonna come to everywhere Fallout 4 already shipped to.
No clue about any Fallout remaster if it's still in the works or if it ship this year or even what platforms it will go to.
Oblivion Remake is almost certain to be multiplat much like the Quake remasters were.
i think also a full 10min gameplay segment doesnt show well for the game. If its like Hellblade 1.
Just miss so much when you are not playing yourself with sound, tension etc. Think how they did the last trailer its the best way to show the game
You sure you aren't thinking of Blade? Arkane outright came out and said, on stage, that Blade is third person. We haven't seen any statement from MG that Indy is third person.
Really curious about the oxyde game didn't see this annoucement, people who worked on civ 5, color me interested !
Same for Indy, I want to see if Machine games will do the lasso justice or not but if there's a team who can do the franchise justice it's them. I just hope it's more than a wolfstein reskin

Would be surprised if it's third person (in a good way). With the studio pedigree and for efficiency of reusing their pipelines it's probably first person
but also not stated its first person.
So just wait and see,
Just because they only made FP before doesnt mean its always
Just like Guerilla games from Killzone to Horizon. Or Respawn from Titanfall to Jedi.
these things wane with time, there's also a whole Young Indiana Jones series with other people playing Indiana Jones at various points of his life... (it won 6 Emmys). It's a corporate IP and it will be milked one way or another. Nothing is sacred.
Nick Baker (Xbox Era founder) said his sources indicated that it would have both.
It is almost as if Microsoft just needed time to get their pipeline in order.
2023 was always going to be the first year in what was going to be a generation when they showed they were serious about gaming.

It's not quite AAA (definitely AA) but the Frogwares Sherlock Holmes games are probably the closest thing you'll get to that.
Hmm, isometric Indy confirmed then
Excited to see them all! Hoping for a third person Indy
Just enjoy the games now man, no reason to always steer the focus on something like this
I forgot about that. Interested to see how the game implements the two.
This is me enjoying what they are doing.
Pointing out that for years this is what some of us said would happen. Some of us are happy, and satisfaction is something that is happening.
I'm guessing Indy is probably first person with maybe third person stuff for conversations/takedowns/environmental interactions etc to show off the character a bit more. Melee can work in first person just fine, see stuff like Riddick, Condemned, Zeno Clash etc.
It's not like melee in Uncharted or Tomb Raider was very technical, in those it's just mash attack to win or do a takedown if you haven't been noticed.

Looking forward to Avowed most! Indy is cool, but I have no expectations set, and as much as I want to play HB2, I am at the point where I just want the game to come out.
That said, I do enjoy Ninja Theory dev kids.
Really curious about Avowed's systems and story. I've always wanted more Living Lands lore, so this should be good.

I liked the last dev direct. The presentation was solid so I will tune in for this one, especially for Avowed
On South of Midnight, do we have any indication that the game will be good? Compulsion's previous games don't exactly inspire confidence although it does look cool and those were prior to the acquisition by MS.
First person games have always been my preference but in the case of Indy and for what would suit Xbox's needs best in this day and age I really hope this is a third person game.
With Halo, CoD, DOOM, Starfield, Elder Scrolls, Fallout etc they've got the first person genre SUPER well covered. With Fable, Hellblade 2, Blade, and Indy they'd have built up a great stable of third person games too.

Eesh, I don't need to see any more of Hellblade 2. I don't think it's as bad as Deathloop got, but it's still reaching "whatever, I'll play it when it comes out, I really don't need to see any more of it" levels for me.
Excited to see what Machine Games has done with Indy, though.

I hope the Hellblade II segment has quality bits of gameplay and a release date (or at least a season and reaffirmation that it'll release this year, dammit), but I actually like how often they show behind the scenes segments for it after some more thought.
Appreciation from the outside is always fickle and short-lived so if Ninja Theory takes pride in their process and wants to shine light on it/the people behind it then they should whenever the opportunity arises.
I was a big fan of how last year's Developer_Direct was formatted and flowed and this is a great lineup of content so I'm way more excited for this than I expected to be. On my birthday too 🔥

Some folks thought we might get DoubleFine's Kiln. It was originally in development ages ago, shelved so the team could focus on Psychonauts 2.
I'm not sure a shadow drop is the most effective way to set a game up for success, so I'm kind of hoping we don't see that again.
Although I'm a Ninja Theory fanboy... even I know Hellblade isn't for everyone.
That being said, I kind of hold MachineGames up there with top developers that come through. Their Indiana Jones game might be the one that stands out over all MS' other games. Released, or just announced. I expect it to be the total package. (Excluding multiplayer)

Indy: Curious, but sceptical because Machine Games makes bad games (sorry, really hated all the new Wolfenstein games). It's also very hard to top the Uncharted series which were basically the action-adventure Indiana Jones games we always wanted. This apparently being first-person also gives me some question marks? Good to finally see it live.
Avowed: Very interested, still sucks that this is Skyrim-like now instead of top-down like the other Pillars of Eternity games. But Obsidian is still some of the best CRPG makers around. Outer Worlds will be forgiven if this delivers.
Ara: I sleep.
Hellblade 2: Hope to see some GOOD gameplay at last. We all know that the graphics will be great.
