As long as its fairly priced - no £70 or anything pleaser

Jaz007 said:

Good showcase. A few games looked good, but Stray easily stole the show. I'm glad I came for Stray - it's only a shame it's not coming until next year.

Enuo said:

Why would they?

JB_Whiting said:

Do Push Square not mention a game if it's not also on PlayStation??

nofriendo said:

LOL

Jaz007 said:

Xbox just lost the console war, no Stray, no cat

JB_Whiting said:

60fps is a given right? Realise this stream is 30

JB_Whiting said:

Judging by the visuals maybe PS5 only?

Jaz007 said:

Let me pre-order this please

nofriendo said:

They really seem to have captured feline movement.

looks delightful

nofriendo said:

Looks beautiful!

get2sammyb said:

Wow

JB_Whiting said:

*** this looks gorgeous

Enuo said:

Hal, it’s about cats

Jaz007 said:

I'm already looking at day one

nofriendo said:

What a gorgeous, meditative game Gorogoa is. Such ingenious design and a joy to play.

Jaz007 said:

YESSSS!!!!!

Enuo said:

Hi there

nofriendo said:

It's a first-person claims adjuster

Jaz007 said:

For half second I thought this was gonna be about making sure people's insurances claims went down the drain when I heard insurance.

nofriendo said:

OK. Serious laughs.

QBGaming12 said:

Solar Ash looks amazing.

JB_Whiting said:

Hipster tea party

Davey Wreden!!

nofriendo said:

I gotta get back to Hyper Light Drifter. Loved playing it but couldn't get past that first boss.

Enuo said:

And you should be too

Enuo said:

I’m pretty pumped for Solar Ash

Jaz007 said:

This could be really interesting or relaly boring. I'm leaning towards interesting.

nofriendo said:

Gorogoa vibes!

nofriendo said:

Especially when games news is filled with abuse and exploitation of same.

nofriendo said:

It's a different kind of Livestream for sure. I'm enjoying the change of pace and shift in focus on the humans making these games.

Jaz007 said:

I think devs should talk about their games like this, but I feel like it's a lot of talking with minimal showcasing of what's being talked about.

nofriendo said:

Sound Shapes looks like my kind of jam. Totally escaped my notice.

Enuo said:

Sound Shapes is so good

JB_Whiting said:

Man this livestream is sure making me sleepy.

Jaz007 said:

I felt like I got minimum info out of all that talking.

nofriendo said:

Falcon Age looks delightful

nofriendo said:

(Preferring PS5 when performance is an issue)

nofriendo said:

Just an observation. I love Annapurna games and I game primarily on my PS5 and Switch.

JB_Whiting said:

Don't be hasty; plenty of games to go around on all devices.

nofriendo said:

So far two games not arriving on the Playstation. Not looking good on the heels of Sony's attitude toward indies.

i REALLY like this format Annapurna is going with

Jaz007 said:

I would prefer my PS5, but this works on PC. So romance the girls too confirmed.

JB_Whiting said:

Good thing many of us have Xbox's too!

Jaz007 said:

This looks decent

nofriendo said:

Starting with an xbox exclusive

ANOTHER September game lol

i forgot about Artful Escape. this looks cool!

nofriendo said:

Cat person here too and desperate for details on Stray's gameplay.

get2sammyb said:

I fixed it

Jaz007 said:

lol. I'm looking forward to Stray more than anything else here. I'm a big cat person, so Stray is likely a day one for me if it looks good.

nofriendo said:

It is only visible to the pure of heart, so if you can't see it, well....

Jaz007 said:

How soon does this start?

AdamNovice said:

I platinumed The Pathless, really enjoyable

nofriendo said:

Looking forward to this more than any of the Major League players, to be honest. Really enjoying The Pathless at the moment and Sayonara Wild Hearts is one of my all time faves.

if they're publishing it, of course

my big wish would be a look at whatever Giant Sparrow is doing next

get2sammyb said:

Looking forward to this

im hoping for release dates for Stray and Solar Ash

AdamNovice said:

Hope we get to see Stray

Open Roads release date would be awesome! I'm really looking forward to that game.
