[@rahulpare4414]

I'm so impressed with Avowed now. Looks like it's gonna be so much fun. Art style is just stunning, I'm just stocked seeing it. That what makes it unique and stand out from other so called dark and realistic RPGs which are very competitive in the market right now. All I wanted to see from Avowed is more gameplay, more magic spells, dialogues and all RPG aspects of it, but I get it as developer direct was short and there were other 4 games still had to show, so that's fair. But Avowed actually needs its own showcase (20 minutes plus). Hope Obsidian does this. I'd so be happy if it's more than a 40 plus hours game, finger crossed.

It didn't look that good to me. Some of the environments looked really good but the character models. Nah... I'm sure GP has a budget cap. And say this because of how avowed looked and the fact that HELL BLADE isn't bigger than the first game.

[@ScubaSnacks]

@@benjamincurtis1412I don’t think they were ever planning on making Hellblade bigger than the first game, it’s not a budget constraint. The whole point of the game is to be this intense uncomfortable psychological experience, making it into a sprawling 30 hour epic would absolutely detract from that. I say this as someone who is not particularly interested in the game, but it’s obvious what they’re going for

[@teach9023]

I think a while back the developers referenced scaling it down from being Skyrim sized, to more like Outer Worlds with more density of activities within the different biomes/zones

[@dageekynerd2898]

I thought ppl seemed hyped that Blade was 3rd person even though Arkane is known for 1st person. As for avoiding comparisons to Uncharted & Tomb Raider I think that's kind of weak. Was Uncharted afraid of being compared to Indy or TR? They should inspire and push each other imo. I'm fine with the devs vision if that's why they did it or course. Great format of show.

[@S7eventhHeaven]

Anyone who expected hellblade 2 to be any different from the previous game in terms of experience was short sighted. A tight 7-8 hour experience was inevitably to be expected and a perfect title for digital only and gamepass. Day 1 purchase for me again. Looks great.

[@Christos2255]

I love Xbox and your podcast Rand but also hate 1st person games. People complained about Cyberpunk too. It's not always a conspiracy.

[@pebo94]

Start 06:16

[@Gregor_Von_DOOM]

The reason Indiana Jones being first person can cause some people to get motion sick is because it's not mainly a shooter. The games that often cause it are mostly melee focused, like a dying light for example. Some community members that are complaining about 1st person also got motion sick playing those type. Melee in first person moves awkwardly causing people with motion sickness to experience it faster because the motions don't look natural in 1st person. In VR to a degree seeing your hand move when you move your hand and placing it in a depth of space mimicking real life fixes this issue for a lot of people. That being said to me personally the disappointment with the 1st person is it makes the combat look like Wolfenstein without the focus on guns literally removing the best part of that series. Indy on paper is a pretty generic boring character, Harrison Ford's mannerisms make it great and you can't see that while in 1st person.

[@EazyE0117]

Congrats on the 300. I’ve watched you guys since the Xbox Series reveal. I did want to say, I was mostly drawn in by Jez, and Rand you are a great host also. But over the years I have to say, you’re a bit mean to Jez when he’s honestly pretty loyal to you. Mentioning doing the Xbox Two with Colt was a bit mean. Sometimes not wanting to hear him out or even laugh at a joke is a bit ehhh. Just been wanting to mention it.

[@NuclearAbyss]

Im not going to lie, I started considering switching platform. I have been on Xbox since 20I0 with the 360, but its rough being a Xbox fan. we dont get a lot physical releases or most games from Japan. I like having the option of buying physical weird hidden jems like (Signalis, World of Horror, Hollow Knight etc.) But with Xbox it self not even releasing 1st party physical copies, its just redundant to stay on the platform. When PC already provides that digital market with many more game options and mods. 95% of my purchases are 3rd party games that can be found everywhere else. So i guess Xbox is willing to lose long time revenue from players that buy everything for a xbox and are subscribed to ultimate. Obviously Xbox would go from being my main platform, to something that gets turn on a couple times a Year, and pc will be the go to platform "next gen". End of an era, i guess.

[@gothichellokitty]

we dont know if alan wake 2 sold well or not. it was a digital game, so stores couldnt report physical sales, and epic doesnt report their sales numbers to circana (former npd group). neither does larian, but we can get an idea based on steamdb and review numbers.

32:27 We don't own the games even when they're on disc. Very few games come complete on the disc. Most need a large day 1 patch to be playable. If they are ever removed from the store front you would have to have the patched game stored on an external drive to import it and play with the disc, and even then the game might require a check in with the store front to play. We stopped owning our games a long time ago.

You can throw a fit and pound sand all you want and it's not going to change anything. Microsoft is already making more revenue and profit than Sony is with their respective gaming departments. There's no need to port everything over there. This is 100% for making themselves look smaller to regulators so they can acquire more publishers and developers. If you think all this talk is Microsoft being nice, you've clearly forgotten how cutthroat they are. Because of all the acquisition wars going on, and how Sony has small attach rates to their big budget games with razor thing profit margins, it's far more likely that, over 10 years from now or so, Sony will be the one getting out of the hardware business and going full third party simply because they don't have the money to compete with these massive corporations.

Frankly I expected better from Avowed in terms of the graphical presentation. The game has the same outdated look as Starfield and it’s melee combat. I would have much preferred a more realistic and mature art style. Hellblade looks pretty cool! Ara History Untold looks pretty rough graphically and the gameplay is a direct copy of Civilization. The game does not look appealing to me. Visions of Mana looks like a game for little children, suited for Nintendo Switch but not for Xbox. Indiana Jones looks very good, but I am concerned about their “modern audience” talk and the fact that the game is linked to Lucasfilm and Disney…. And the fact that the same studio made Wolfenstein Youngblood…. I have the same sentiment with Marvel’s Blade, everything Disney touches or is involved with turns to s***.

To be fair, i complain internally at the wealth of 3rd person games. People have preferences. I have a rule, the bigger the character is on screen in a 3rd person game, the worse detail went into how it plays. Mario- small. The camera is designed to give you a full view of obstacles and gameplay. Kratos- huge. Field of view is zoomed in so hard on kratos so you can see his hair follicles, but you can hardly see the battlefield. Other people love that though and they arent wrong to have that preference.
