21:05

Do keep your eye on the site for the next few hours! We actually saw a lot of these games a few weeks ago, like Saints Row, so we have previews ready to go!

21:05

And that's your lot! Thanks for joining us everyone!

21:03

A whale thing roars at Sam. And it's out 24th September. Brilliant.

21:03

And that's it... Wait, no... There's more.

21:02

You can do tricks on your motorbike, and there are races as well now. This is ridiculous.

21:01

There are new Metal Gear Solid missions now, basically.

Some of this new gear is amazing. It all seems to be designed around removing some of the frustration from the game.

20:54

Death Stranding: Director's Cut is LIVE now.

20:54

Here it is!

20:54

So, time for Death Stranding.

20:52

SIFU launches 22nd February on PS5, PS4.

20:51

Geoff Keighley says he's played it and he's hyping it up. "Like Batman Arkham with the precision of a fighting game."

20:51

Reckon we've just got Death Stranding left, then... No, SIFU!

20:50

But there's more on Genshin Impact... A concert!

20:49

20:20

Horizon Zero Dawn now runs at 60 frames-per-second on PS5.

Onto Far Cry 6...

20:08

Now a new look at Jurassic World Evolution 2. It's due out 9th November on PS5 and PS4.

20:07

DokeV is a kind of Monster Hunter and Pokemon blend. Looks mind blowing to be honest. The developers of Black Desert are behind that.

20:02

The Outlast Trials looks harrowing. But not sure we're fully understanding what that is.

19:58

LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga launches Spring 2022.

19:56

Now we're on to LEGO Star Wars.

19:56

And now time for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.

19:39

Midnight Fight Express is coming to PS4 next summer.

19:28

Call of Duty: Vanguard looks good. Very slick. The collapsing building set-piece is reminiscent of Uncharted 2.

19:14

Call of Duty: Vanguard is live at Gamescom Opening Night Live.

19:13

Gameplay will be shown off on 1st September, so not long to wait.

19:12

XCOM with Marvel characters sounds like the smartest crossover ever.

19:11

Keep your eye on the site later in the day, we've seen a lot of Saints Row gameplay and have all the details!

King of Fighters 15 launches in February on PS5 and PS4.

18:38

Gamescom starts now! Join us for the Opening Night Live pre-show.

18:38

Right then, a few seconds until the pre-show gets underway. Are you sitting comfortably?

18:33

As for the pre-show, expect a smattering of smaller games.

18:33

In case your just joining us, welcome to the Gamescom Opening Night Live stream. Updates on Call of Duty and Death Stranding are scheduled tonight. The stream is two hours long so there should be plenty of meat to this. Hopefully?

18:32

These countdowns really have to stop. Fortunately it's only a small one, so looks like the pre-show won't get underway until about 18:35ish (UK time).

The highlight for me was the release date for Horizon

GingerSilent said:

it was about what I expected

all the commentary from dev teams for games I don't care killed it for me

AFCC said:

Well guys, will see you all on the comments and hopefuly the next state of play too

GingerSilent said:

I didn't think it was terrible, wasn't great but not god awful

Went on for too long.

Thought it was a good show. Nothing over the top amazing but enjoyable overall.

AFCC said:

PREVIEWS tasty!!!!!!

nessisonett said:

but yeah oof

nessisonett said:

definitely could have been worse

GingerSilent said:

but that Jet Pack changes so much!

AFCC said:

Expected worse tbh lol

AFCC said:

We had some cool things here and there

Voltan said:

I thought everybody liked the Muppets

Average at best.

yup

nessisonett said:

well that was fairly garbage as expected

GingerSilent said:

cause it's like a 4 hour run right now

JB_Whiting said:

Geoff managed to squeeze some of his ego into the end. god bless

GingerSilent said:

I can't wait to see the speedruns of DS with the new mechanics

nessisonett said:

geoff really likes the muppets

QBGaming12 said:

That wasn't that exciting lol.

They seem to have addded quite a bit. Not enough to get me to play again but great for those that enjoyed it!

hypnotoad said:

roll on 24th

tricks while jumping a ramp and a racing mode... totally useless but fun

AFCC said:

Just wait for all the entitled kids to be mad about paying for the director's cut xD

SupmyG said:

for 10$ this is great

Voltan said:

a lot of additional work went into this, even if it's not exactly game changing

hypnotoad said:

wipeout's got slooooooooooow

Seems to be a pretty decent Director's Cut, to be fair.

JB_Whiting said:

so is this technically the big PS5 release this holiday or is there another lurking?

hypnotoad said:

I love Nobody

AFCC said:

Just hope Bob Odenkirk gets well soon!

hypnotoad said:

might watch it then AFCC

AFCC said:

It's pretty good!

nessisonett said:

yeah with bob odenkirk

JB_Whiting said:

think he did that Nobody film, too

JB_Whiting said:

no way haha

AFCC said:

There is a new movie from the Hardcore Henry director

hypnotoad said:

is hardcore henry any good ?

nessisonett said:

the lead singer of them directed hardcore henry

SupmyG said:

Bruh

JB_Whiting said:

Mikami rather

JB_Whiting said:

what about Mikama and Kamiya!

hypnotoad said:

he's 2nd only to Miyamoto

AFCC said:

I love this Director's Cut but I am so ready for the next project

Voltan said:

I couldn't get into it - loved the setting but the deliveries were not my kinda thing

hypnotoad said:

I love Kojima

nessisonett said:

oh boy jetpack time

Yeah. Death Stranding was a better game than I expected but can't see myself playing it a second time

SupmyG said:

been holding off from playing the original very stoked

nessisonett said:

loved just wandering about

nessisonett said:

the trudging is way better than the plot stuff imo

JB_Whiting said:

i loved DS but it was a one and done game for me; i don't have the energy to trudge through it all again, even in 60fps

Voltan said:

except I'll most likely be moving between now and then so I have to think about where to order it to, lol

finally something cool for me

Welp, I'm out.

oh yes

Voltan said:

a limited edition if there is one

JB_Whiting said:

okay Elden Ring here we come

hypnotoad said:

I want psvr2

GingerSilent said:

ITS TIME

nessisonett said:

barry b benson

Voltan said:

yeah, Horizon is a pre-order for me

Horizon: Forbidden West. Sifu will have to wait.

GingerSilent said:

SIFU looks fun, I played alittle bit of Absolver but SIFU looks more up my alley

I'll probably grab Horizon FW near launch. The original was superb.

nessisonett said:

sifu first then horizon in a deep sale hahaha

sorry Sifu - you'll wait until I finish Horizon

nessisonett said:

february too

hypnotoad said:

this look damn good

AFCC said:

No blood?

Voltan said:

February is kinda stacked, ngl

JB_Whiting said:

hell yeah

Third party and first party support seems pretty good. Just that most games are pretty far off in the distance.

hypnotoad said:

now this is more like it

AFCC said:

SIFU

JaphyRider said:

lol

If they don't dance and play I'm out

Until Sony spills out some future games, this crowd here won't be pleased with anything. 3rd party output seems weak for the near future.

AFCC said:

GENSHIN CONCERT? XD

Do characters actually jabber that much in Genshin?

Shepherd_Tallon said:

@JB_Whiting lolol

nessisonett said:

that's linkle

Talks a lot more, too.

JB_Whiting said:

this should satiate the neckbeards who were turned off by HZ2 Aloy

AFCC said:

toad you mean Zelda

Voltan said:

that's Zelda smh

hypnotoad said:

link looks different

AFCC said:

Genshin is cool but it's just too time consuming for me

GingerSilent said:

i dunno either way, I didn't go in with high expectations

JB_Whiting said:

i spoke too soon

Voltan said:

I'm not even trying to look at other chats lol

AFCC said:

There isn't even a comparison tbh

nessisonett said:

i feel the nordic metal plus tank imagery is probably a bit problematic

GingerSilent said:

JB_Whiting true that

JB_Whiting said:

they just spam GENSHIN IMPACT. SILENT HILLS OR GTFO

DeepSpace5D said:

This is pretty tame on the negativity front compared to other places

JB_Whiting said:

we're being facetious though. we're not toxic a-holes like YT chat

It's been a pretty below average show.

AFCC said:

They spam the sleeping emote for EVERYTHING

nessisonett said:

kinda hard not to be negative

Enuo said:

I hope you’re having a great day

AFCC said:

Don't even compare this chat to twitch lol!

Good that there's an fps game for Xbox - they certainly are lacking such games

GingerSilent said:

its not like Geoff didnt set expectations at the beginning

GingerSilent said:

so much negitivity both here and in every other stream chat

Voltan said:

lol

JB_Whiting said:

sorry... 'awards'

JB_Whiting said:

oh sorry you mean awards

JB_Whiting said:

Deathloop did get a pretty extensive preview last time

DeepSpace5D said:

My vote would have Kena

AFCC said:

Elden Ring isn't this year either

nessisonett said:

deathloop's an xbox first party game technically hahahaha

hypnotoad said:

I do

I legitimately forgot about Deathloop, lol

DeepSpace5D said:

Nobody gives a crap about Deathloop apparently.

Well, there's no exclusives for the rest of the year.

AFCC said:

We have so many great first party franchises, better than any Dark Souls game

So... uh... how do you give awards to games that aren't even out yet?

AFCC said:

Elden Ring best playstation? XD

JB_Whiting said:

the winner is.... a multiplatform game

So is this a cartoon or what?

theshizer1210 said:

Me and my buddies put 200 hours into it.

JB_Whiting said:

don't tease me

Hopefully Elden Ring gameplay

AFCC said:

Is this game any good?

@JB-Whiting

JB_Whiting said:

are they going to cap this show of with something exciting??

hypnotoad said:

Zzzzzzzzzz

nessisonett said:

age of empires would be more fun if it wasn't an rts because i hate rts games

Voltan said:

*thought

Voltan said:

to be clear - I appreciate that it's more about sound design than actual music and though that was cool

nessisonett said:

well yeah it's deadmau5 he's hardly orbital

AFCC said:

I wish Playstation would say "as a surprise, the new system update is out NOW" because damn it I want it!

Voltan said:

like, he said he had to click around the computer to find a melody and that he would have had a much easier time if he knew what he was doing

JB_Whiting said:

ohhh this game looks sick

nessisonett said:

moreso back in the days when it was sample heavy

nessisonett said:

eh edm is its own artform

Voltan said:

I once saw an ad for some sort of "deadmau5 sound design mastercalss" on YouTube and like how he was totally honest that he can't play an instrument or know anything about music

AFCC said:

Lmao

JB_Whiting said:

it's Nightmares

AFCC said:

Is this Dreams?

JB_Whiting said:

looks like a compilation of bargain bin rip-offs

hypnotoad said:

mickey mouse on crack

AFCC said:

@Voltan I still haven't finished that game, but I love them all. They are great

Voltan said:

lol deadmauFIVE

DeepSpace5D said:

Playing sets for a living must be so f’in cool though.

Voltan said:

is the first Judgment that good? never played it (or any Yakuza games for that matter)

ha calling Keighley out

AFCC said:

deadmauFive

JB_Whiting said:

deadmau5 now we really are in 2011

nessisonett said:

deadmau5 smh i did say it was like 2011

AFCC said:

Playing a Yakuza game in English should be jail time

Can't wait for Lost Judgment.

hypnotoad said:

looks great

DeepSpace5D said:

Now we’re talkin

nessisonett said:

Eugh english voices are so wrong in Judgment

Game of the Year contender right here.

AFCC said:

Oh ok! I was thinking about the games, sorry lol

JB_Whiting said:

sorry i mean their behaviour, less the games

nessisonett said:

Ubi also love a good healthy chunk of abuse

AFCC said:

Maybe now they are a bit meh, but they have some classics

AFCC said:

Come on, Ubi has done some good games

hypnotoad said:

inon zur??? a joke name shirley ?

JB_Whiting said:

stop giving praise to Ubi

I really hope they show more Elden Ring gameplay. And looking forward for Death Stranding DC

I want her to smash the violin like Jimmy would a guitar

hypnotoad said:

stategy games - yuck

Voltan said:

just saying she could technically get that sound

Voltan said:

but like I said I'm not sure she had one

Voltan said:

nah, those things are solid - guitarists use them just fine and some run around like crazy - and with a overdrive any crackles would be way more apparent

QBGaming12 said:

This show hasn't been that good to be honest.

nessisonett said:

woah mario directing himself

or the whole show for that matter...

How spoiler-filled is the Tales of Arise demo?

Is anyone else bored by most of the upcoming games shown so far?

nessisonett said:

i dunno it would crackle af due to the movement surely with a pack

hypnotoad said:

dunno why lego star wars is so late

DeepSpace5D said:

Lmao thats hilarious if she was just miming that violin performance

Voltan said:

but I couldn't tell if she had one

Voltan said:

nah, all she'd need is a pickup on the violin and a radio pack

No do that with a cello

nessisonett said:

it's not live since there'd have to be 12 mics pointed at her

Pretty disappointing Sony couldn't get one of Horizon: Forbidden West, God of War or GT 7 out this fall. I look at Insomniac's output and wonder what these other teams are doing.

(no musical talent here)

Voltan said:

I mean - I know crazier violin players but none of them attempt that kind of movement while at it lol

No way she's playing. It might be a recording of her playing.

Voltan said:

if she's actually playing live, that's pretty impressive

nessisonett said:

ew

hypnotoad said:

she could play my fiddle

DeepSpace5D said:

Death Stranding does seem like the closer to the show, the way they’ve been talking about it.

JB, hard disagree, but that's ok. Different strokes for different folks.

Enuo said:

Lindsay Sterling is a legend

JaphyRider said:

wtf is this ***

JB_Whiting said:

it was a great narrative told poorly (at least tome)

QBGaming12 said:

So is Death Stranding going to be like the last 20mins of the stream?

Voltan said:

I really liked the story of HZD (the backstory more specifically, I guess) but I though the VA in dialogues could've been better

nessisonett said:

poochie died on the way back to his home planet

AFCC said:

What's up my bros, what did I miss?

Yep and the Zelda name carries some nostalgia.

nessisonett said:

horizon's alright but painfully bland outside the combat which is proper great

JB_Whiting said:

whereas HZ was just really, really solid

JB_Whiting said:

i think because BotW is one of those influential games; you see its DNA in a lot of games post its release

I still think it was better than BotW in 2016. But that's just me.

hypnotoad said:

Just got back from the dogs walk. What have I missed

DeepSpace5D said:

Horizon never gets a shot at GotY. Always comes out the same year as Zelda.

JB_Whiting said:

his pockets are well lined after this i'm sure

nessisonett said:

geoff serving us corporate simp realness with amazon, ubisoft and actiblizz in the one event

Enuo said:

2022 is going to be a baller year for PlayStation

Hey! Now I can do a New Game+ for both GOW and HZD over Christmas

I know. Kidding. I can wait.

Voltan said:

Bdbrady - nice try but that's been officially 2022 for a while now

DeepSpace5D said:

Let’s go! Been waiting for that 60fps update. Great news

nessisonett said:

another game i beat recently and wanted 60fps in wow they're killing me

Good thing GOW:R is 2021, right

ankehuber said:

Not bad, plenty in the meantime.

Not bad. Polished and delayed is better than 2021 and meh

nessisonett said:

is there anything left this year

JB_Whiting said:

i'm satisfied

DeepSpace5D said:

at least it’s official now

JB_Whiting said:

that's a minor delay

DeepSpace5D said:

Not bad I guess

Voltan said:

February - expected, I guess

nessisonett said:

problem with this is that the things i want them to improve wouldn't be shown in a trailer

JB_Whiting said:

60fps really? sweet!

exciting?

Voltan said:

also twitter says an update for Zero Dawn just dropped - 60 fps on PS5

ankehuber said:

Please no more delays.

DeepSpace5D said:

2021 release??

AHHHH

IanAlbarn said:

oooh here we go baby

BearsEatBeets said:

WHAT?

jdv95 said:

no way!

DeepSpace5D said:

Oh shizz!

Voltan said:

yoooooo

nessisonett said:

this looks cool at least

JB_Whiting said:

still not sure about this one yet

nessisonett said:

eh

DeepSpace5D said:

Farcry 6 if you like that

DeepSpace5D said:

Nah been a snoozer so far

nessisonett said:

just made dinner lol did i miss anything at all

IanAlbarn said:

this looks interesting

JB_Whiting said:

probably over-relies on motion capture and not enough hand animation

mrbone said:

Far cry 6 do motion capture, right? The facial movements are quite bad.

Voltan said:

FC6 reminded me I didn't watch the latest Ted Lasso episode yet

Voltan said:

so you build a park and have dinos wreak havoc in it?

JB_Whiting said:

PARK... only gen-z likes World

ankehuber said:

I've got dinosaur socks on. Sold on this too.

JB_Whiting said:

ok thank god something a little calmer

QBGaming12 said:

All of Pearl Abyss games look good.

ankehuber said:

Sold. I don't think I blinked once!

ankehuber said:

OK, this I want.

JB_Whiting said:

IT"S NOT ENDING

QBGaming12 said:

Makes me want to watch God of Highschool lol.

JB_Whiting said:

this is what you see when you have sleep paralysis

IanAlbarn said:

I threw up a little bit

ApostateMage said:

This looks a lot scarier than Outlast

Enuo said:

Wow. Sunset Overdrive 2 went in a really unexpected direction

JB_Whiting said:

i've had to hit the mute button

Enuo said:

I am very uncomfortable right now

QBGaming12 said:

Outlast finally

ApostateMage said:

Class!

This looks sso so good!

Enuo said:

This actually looks really good

JB_Whiting said:

panzer dragoon but minus the soul

Voltan said:

this dragon game looked very familiar - like something I might've played 20 years ago (except now in HD)

nessisonett said:

hahaha oh dear this seems ambitious

Enuo said:

Red Bull mutates you. Confirmed

nessisonett said:

stalker 2?

Voltan said:

what was that last one with the big monster?

JB_Whiting said:

ohh Scorn, forgot about that one

nessisonett said:

very very good news for me

Voltan said:

Xbox has a pretty busy season though

Enuo said:

Y’all ever heard of game pass before? It’s pretty low hey so you might not have

nessisonett said:

ok didn't know back 4 blood is on game pass pc

BearsEatBeets said:

Yeah best game no-one has played

JB_Whiting said:

yeah what?

nessisonett said:

for marketing purposes

Voltan said:

I don't get what these awards are for, it's confusing

JB_Whiting said:

just give us SSX!

nessisonett said:

like dancing to skrillex' bangarang at a school disco

Voltan said:

I tried Steep when it was on PS+ - wasn't into it. This looks like an extended version of that.

nessisonett said:

it's just very 2011

JB_Whiting said:

this faux "attitude"

JB_Whiting said:

looks cringe to me

nessisonett said:

why is this aesthetic literally everywhere

QBGaming12 said:

Riders Republic I feel like will be that game you play for a week, and them leave and come back a month or two later to play it again.

Enuo said:

That run animation

nessisonett said:

i called this earlier hahaha

JB_Whiting said:

deepfake

nessisonett said:

mate lay off the botox

nessisonett said:

god his face

JB_Whiting said:

the Yakuza dude as well?

nessisonett said:

red bull and jagermeister is brill

Enuo said:

Red Bull tastes like cancer

JB_Whiting said:

need some Elden Ring to sex this stream up

IanAlbarn said:

man, this ahs been pretty boring

No release date, that's disappointing. Probably means it's not 2021.

Cool that she won't be locked behind DLC.

Voltan said:

welp no release date?

DeepSpace5D said:

My toes, my toes

Voltan said:

cool music though

Enuo said:

Rise of the TMNT is dope as heck

Voltan said:

it's April

JB_Whiting said:

oh...

I love the old NES, SNES and Genesis beat em ups.

JB_Whiting said:

casey jones pls

Yes, this is what I tuned in for, tbh.

BearsEatBeets said:

Extremely slick for one person

nessisonett said:

Bet you have your manhole Geoff

JB_Whiting said:

that's a lot of energy for one developer

DeepSpace5D said:

The Sims: Hotline Miami edition

Voltan said:

I saw this guy tweet some updates about his game earlier this year. Looked cool af

Enuo said:

Diablysium

nessisonett said:

Diablo Elysium

nessisonett said:

Ok it's Disco Elysium the beat em up

JB_Whiting said:

oh... WOW

Enuo said:

Geoff looks unnervingly thin

DeepSpace5D said:

Yeah looks like Don’t Starve and Binding of Isaac had a baby

QBGaming12 said:

That game looks amazing

BearsEatBeets said:

Is this the Don't starve peeps? Looks similar

Voltan said:

lol this is cute

JechtUltima said:

hey

Hello everyone

Enuo said:

Is Geoff okay?

If it's the same price as the current model, of course.

DeepSpace5D said:

thats really it

Since you can pre-order the console, I might have to do that.

DeepSpace5D said:

Damn…

IanAlbarn said:

series X*

IanAlbarn said:

A halo xbox one s? that's cool. That I might actually get

Enuo said:

Halo is for squares

Voltan said:

Xbox has a ton of these limited series controllers, don't they? (and now a console)

Reach had my favorite campaign as well.

ApostateMage said:

Reach is my fave

IanAlbarn said:

yeah, that Halo 2 campaign was great

IanAlbarn said:

Yeah, I guess I'll just keep playing the Master Chief collection and play the free Halo Infinite multiplayer

JB_Whiting said:

remember Halo 2's split story with the Arbiter? that was the nuts.

The story has gone way off the rails. Started in 4. Once I got past the 'I'm a fan I have to like this' nonsense, I realized that.

JB_Whiting said:

i gave up about halfway through 5's campaign. the overarching narrative has lost all meaning to me since the trilogy ended.

IanAlbarn said:

Halo's story has gotten a bit cringe to me. I miss the good ol days

IanAlbarn said:

yeah. Halo 5 campaign wasn't very good

DeepSpace5D said:

but that has been nowhere tobe found since the delay. And it’s out this year.

DeepSpace5D said:

I only ever cared about the singleplayer campaigns of Halo.

Voltan said:

the multiplayer is

JechtUltima said:

isn't it f2p?

IanAlbarn said:

hopefully multiplayer is good because everything else I don't care about anymore

Should've ended when Bungie and MS cut ties.

Voltan said:

I'm sure the multiplayer will be fun though, people seemed to enjoyed the beta or whatever they called it

Yup.

JB_Whiting said:

hasn't been since Reach sadly

JB_Whiting said:

it's not very Halo at all

Voltan said:

again, I don't know much about Halo but this doesn't look like what I know about Halo

Screwing it up.

IanAlbarn said:

what the hell is 343 doing to Halo :c

JB_Whiting said:

there's no co-op campaign until next year; it's like guys, c'mon get your *** together

DeepSpace5D said:

Damn still no singleplayer campaign footage for Infinite?

JB_Whiting said:

look an xbox game quick cut the feed! lol jks

This was for a time my favorite series. Then 343 took over...

JB_Whiting said:

yeah WW2 was suuuper mediocre. maybe they've learned their lesson?

Voltan said:

this one's definitely prettier

BearsEatBeets said:

Some strange brickwork back then

Voltan said:

But I didn't like CoD WW2

I'm ok with less than native 4k if it has to be done to get a stable 60 fps.

Voltan said:

I remember CoD World At War being pretty good

JB_Whiting said:

i hope, at this point, we can get native 4K

jdv95 said:

tbh if you did noy know this was cod you would think it could be something else. this looks great

DeepSpace5D said:

And this is compressed

IanAlbarn said:

we're still watching CoD gameplay? maaan...

Visuals are great, but I thought Black Ops Cold War looked pretty good so with one year already working on PS5 it doesn't surprise me.

JB_Whiting said:

does look pretty

QBGaming12 said:

Wait for that Dualsense support.

JB_Whiting said:

stealth has never been CoD's strong point, interesting that this is the focus here

JechtUltima said:

last one i played was world at war

Pditty1980 said:

nessisonett i agree

KundaliniRising333 said:

jesus, please stop playing these COD games

nessisonett said:

Prefer the ww2 ones tbh

JB_Whiting said:

in the actual game this player will be hopping and sliding all over the place

JB_Whiting said:

maybe i'm showing my age

Yup. Couldn't get into them.

JB_Whiting said:

balls to the wall action

JB_Whiting said:

Slow paced?? Have you played the original 2! They're pretty mental

Never been able to get into the WW 2 era Call of Duty games. Too slow paced.

Voltan said:

Welp, CoD campaigns always looked pretty good

JB_Whiting said:

that's some steampunk ***shotgun

ApostateMage said:

Great VA she is

JB_Whiting said:

is that Laura Bailey there?

nessisonett said:

But based on Lyudmila Pavlichenko

nessisonett said:

Her character literally is just Aloy

nessisonett said:

At least they're actually doing more than one front

DeepSpace5D said:

Rumors that the Vanguard visuals are insane

Pditty1980 said:

the marvel game looks good

JB_Whiting said:

well we do live in a reboot world anyway!

nessisonett said:

Tbf having apocalypse would just be X-Men Legends 2 again

JB_Whiting said:

Dunno why they couldn't just use Apocalypse

Voltan said:

oooh, so it's like X-com but Marvel? that could totally work

BearsEatBeets said:

Love X-Com, totally up for this

nessisonett said:

Plus Nico Minoru turning up is very very cool

nessisonett said:

marvel xcom sounds like a good idea

IanAlbarn said:

I'm interested. Fireaxis is good

IanAlbarn said:

oooh that makes sense

get2sammyb said:

Think it's the Firaxis strategy game

IanAlbarn said:

Nah more avengers?

ApostateMage said:

Ugh, Marvel. Get Saints Row back on.

DeepSpace5D said:

Best Metallica cover all time

IanAlbarn said:

Marvel Ultimate Alliance?

JB_Whiting said:

oh god no. what have they done to Enter Sandman

IanAlbarn said:

yeah, to each their own I guess. It doesn't look bad but looks kinda generic

nessisonett said:

Irony does not work online

JB_Whiting said:

Yeah give me smelly / grimy vibes. That just looks like Watch Dogs 3, Far Cry 6, with a bit of Fortnite. Hard pass.

jdv95 said:

it looks great to me.

IanAlbarn said:

why man, Saints row single player was cool

Voltan said:

lol

nessisonett said:

I have to boycott because it lacks the smelly gamer vibes of the previous games

JB_Whiting said:

If you did know much about Saints Row you'd feel that cinematic was completely off! haha

Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy said:

Eugh that looed absolutly terrible. Pass

JechtUltima said:

yeah sounds fun tbf

Voltan said:

I don't know much about Saints Row but the trailer was cool

jdv95 said:

i hope it is mostly sp though

JechtUltima said:

reboot i think

jdv95 said:

no it's a full reboot.

JB_Whiting said:

I'm confused, is this a remake of the original? Doesn't resemble it at all.

DeepSpace5D said:

Cool movie. Wonder how the game will look though.

IanAlbarn said:

Oh no. I don't like how this is looking...

jdv95 said:

agree

IanAlbarn said:

please don't make Saints Row a live service or something like that

jdv95 said:

wonder what those mystery games will be

Voltan said:

@jvd95 - wouldn't count on it - probably next week as usual

DeepSpace5D said:

Seems like some crazy ish is bout to go down during Death Stranding but we’ll see.

jdv95 said:

any chance of a ps plus game reveal in the show?

ApostateMage said:

I'm just here for Lego light sabers.

DeepSpace5D said:

??? Thats weird right there

Voltan said:

I just noticed the cat

DeepSpace5D said:

Where’s Routine?

jdv95 said:

speaking of horror in space,where is quantom error?

DeepSpace5D said:

The new CoD: Zombies looks pretty intense!

thechetearly said:

Very excited, but I am a bit disappointed that it seems we won't be getting a Playstation standalone event this summer.

DeepSpace5D said:

I guess…the content for the Director’s Cut doesn’t seem as substantial as Ghost’s. But maybe it will surprise

Voltan said:

Because Kojima and Keighley are best buds, I guess

IanAlbarn said:

just what I needed, simulating pre-covid world

DeepSpace5D said:

Why are they hyping up Death Stranding so much?

DeepSpace5D said:

Not enough blood comes out when they get shot

Voltan said:

here's a shooter that looks like every other shooter

Voltan said:

I have the stream on but I might fall asleep halfway through tbh (not saying it's gonna be bad, I'm just tired)

DeepSpace5D said:

KOF? More like FOK!!!!

jdv95 said:

i'm mostly interested in the new saints row

TowaHerschel7 said:

Gtg my tablet refuses to play the video.

TowaHerschel7 said:

It's a toss-up tbh.

IanAlbarn said:

Hey everyone! TowaHershecl7 I'd love that announcement too. Do you think it'll actually happen or is it wishful thinking?

TowaHerschel7 said:

It's the only Star Ocean game not available on PS4 in the West. Japan has all 5 cannon titles.

TowaHerschel7 said:

I am hoping beyond all hope for Star Ocean Second Evolution on PS4 and Switch in the West! 😍

TowaHerschel7 said:

Yay lol.

Grumblevolcano said:

There's the countdown, 8 minutes to go

jdv95 said:

you can on youtube via gamespot and ign

TowaHerschel7 said:

Is this actually going to aire on YouTube and Twitch because the official channels don't even have a countdown yet? I'd prefer to watch on my TV, but that's looking increasingly unlikely with each passing minute...
