So Guardians of the Galaxy must have a comic writer working on it because the trailer alone had Cosmo the Dog, the Universal Church of Truth, the fucking Worldmind, the Technarchs and a more accurate looking Nova Corps.

Oh and of course there is a Wolverine solo game, can Marvel stop using him for a year? Is it really to much to ask?

Wolverine’s regeneration ability must extend to personal finances.

I’m seeing they’ve brought back a couple things. At least one old move that I can’t remember the name of (at 1:45) and Centaurs.
Centaur being back is interesting actually as it’s related to Greek mythology. We going back to Greece?

One sneaky detail I saw was when Artreus is bringing the deer back home his silhouette matches some descriptions of Loki perfectly.

Spider-Man trailer was going so well for me as the two Spidey’s were fighting the hired mercs with Kraven the Hunter narrating but then it ends with Venom who I am also sick of seeing, I hope Insomnia do something interesting with him though. They made Doc Ock work as a more serious character so maybe they can do it with Venom.

Santa Monica posted images of the characters that were shown in the trailer, including Thor. I won’t post them here in case anyone wants to be left surprised.This is the first time we get to see Thors character model

Cool video showing off the callbacks the GT7 trailer has to older GT games.

It’s like HITMAN Legacy trailer, but for Gran Turismo fans instead. Well done, PD! Not just aesthetic, but the core gameplay in the form of GT mode also makes its return. It makes me believe we finally have a proper GT game again. Well, first time for PS4/5 consoles, that is. :blush:

Finally got around to watching the presentation.

  • KOTOR remake has me interested… I always keep hearing people talk about how the original was one of the best Star Wars games ever, so experiencing it in a modern format would be nice.

  • Project EVE looked cool. Then looked scary. Then I realised I once saw footage of this series when I was young and, yep, I remembered freakish mutant monsters with lots of teeth freak me out.

  • Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands looks like fun to those who enjoy Borderlands. I’ve seen gameplay of the Fantasy expansion of BL2 and this looks like more of that. Cool.

  • Forspoken looks like if Life Is Strange was an Isekai, sure. The Art style is this similar cartoonishly-realist looking thing, dialogues weird, but the gameplay is unique! Cool twist.

  • Alan Wake on a PlayStation woooooo!! This really doesn’t look like much has been remastered other than the framerate, but honestly I’m glad I’ll finally be able to play it on console. (It’s up for pre-order already and… It’s only 40 dollars??! 40$ CANADIAN??! I am shocked. Lower than I thought.)

  • Honestly, I’ve warmed up to the Guardians game shown off. It’s still got some awkward-looking comedy like with the ‘heart attack gag’ in this, but I’m gonna chalk that up to the trailer editing. It looks detailed, something with focus and polish (a single-player adventure, rather than live-service co-op).

  • Deathloop is finally, after like 3 delays, coming out. Wasn’t really a fan of Dishonored’s gameplay (that’s just me – I don’t like stealth missions in first-person) but this looks fun. I’ll keep it on my radar. The over-abundance of promotion for this does have me a bit worried.

  • I was sure the music behind Kid A Mnesia was the electronic group Weval, but it’s not! It’s Radiohead. I didn’t know they had that sound in their repertoire… maybe I should check them out.

  • Tchia looks adorable and could be a culturally educational game. I’m very interested in that!

  • Uncharted let’s-not-release-a-patch Collection is… well, that.

  • Wolverine is surprising. Insomniac has a great creating team that seems to know superheroes well, so that’s promising. I hope it’s a linear action game. I can’t see it being open-world.

  • Spider-Man 2, hype! Love the updates to the costume. Kraven and Venom as big bads is cool, haven’t had a game with Kraven in a while. I haven’t got Miles Morales yet, so I should probably get to that. I’ve got 2 years at least.

  • God of War, cool, but I haven’t played the first yet, so I don’t have attachment to it.

  • 4K Resolution

  • 60 FPS

  • Ray Tracing

  • Updated Models (obvious one is Alan Wake, he looks more like the Live Action version of himself which is good)

As far as I know of this is the first game on Next Generation consoles where it will run at 4K 60 with Ray Tracing so it’s a substantial enough remaster.

I checked the website, this isn’t actually being included.
It would have been too much work to implement Ray Tracing into the old AW engine, (and they wanted to stick as close to the original vision as possible) so there’s no Ray Tracing.

Edit; FAQ — Alan Wake

Does Alan Wake Remastered support ray tracing / HDR?

No.

As this is a remaster built on the existing Alan Wake engine and technology, adding in ray tracing / HDR support was deemed too time-consuming. This would have taken resources away from other critical areas.

We are confident the game looks great even without ray tracing / HDR support.

Ahh I was going off of what it said on the Xbox Store Page. It was updated and they removed the Ray Tracing Part.

I mean it is there in the title, Kid A and Amnesiac were two albums they made as a part of what used to be a single project. Probably why it has an electronic sound, the As had that sort of electro/krautrock inspiration along with 50 other genres.

I’m not familiar with Radiohead so there you go. :laughing:

They made the best bond theme that isn’t a official bond theme and they were in a South Park episode. That’s my brief knowledge of Radio Head.
