Someone wishes for 2003 and they give you Peter Molyneux, seems fitting.

Squid Game looks terrible.

That berserker game looks gorgeous.

Finally something I want to play

I guess I'll be playing not Sam Drake in 2025 then.

Saw this thread and thought it might be related to that short-lived handheld console.

As a relative gaming n00b, Peter Molyneux is something of a mythical figure to me - part creative genius, part bullshit artist nonpareil.

I'd almost started to believe that he didn't really exist, and was just a cautionary tale told to aspiring game devs so they wouldn't get too high on their own supply.

Fable 3 was shocking.

But Theme Park was awesome and despite the lies Fable 1 is still one of my favourite games.

Fuck me Destiny 3 anyone? ✌️

Didn’t realise this was on. Have found a stream which I’m now watching not-live starting with a dead pan guy and his cat, I hope I’m watching the right thing.

Belatro still looks awesome and I’ll likely never play it unless I can get a Switch 2. Indie stuff so far, Begone Beast, could be meh could be great, can’t tell. Cairn looked quite good.

Just finished it. A couple of good looking indie horrors, one with the VR headset thing and Reanimal, which I assume is from the Little Nightmares people.

Space Marine obviously.

That Berserker thing was very stylish with a very different graphical style. If it’s yet another impenetrable hard souls type game it won’t be for me though. Can’t tell.

A lot of Japanese games are completely lost on me so large swathes left me cold.

Can’t tell if this mecha Xbox game will be good or not.

Peter Molyneux’s game looked like a Tik Tok Trailer for a bad fake mobile phone game and not a good one either.

Borderlands should excite me but I bounced hard off 3, I could just not get into it after the first 2 were some of the best game experiences ever. Maybe I should revisit them.

Batman in first person could be interesting but part of the fun of the Batman games is seeing him in action isn’t it.

COD will provide a reliable campaign and multiplayer until they start selling Paintball and pop singer skins and I leave again.

There were several COD-alikes that looked drab. The Delta Force thing looked like it maybe, possibly, could be fun.

Overall what a boring show of games.

Hmmm. Maybe I’ve come across as culturally ignorant there sorry. I’ll change the sentiment to ‘games that remind me of a JPRG type aesthetic’.

I was already at the, "Shut up and take my money!" stage with Monster Hunter Wilds, and yesterday's trailer did nothing to change that; a release date at the end of it would've been nice, but them's the breaks.

I'm expecting MGS Delta to be at Tokyo Game Show next month, so I wasn't too bummed out by its absence at Keighley's shindig.

Kind of underwhelmed by everything else on display - and still very much of the opinion that a one-hour show would've been better for all concerned - but there's some good shit due out in Q4 this year, all the same.
