Yes. Man-eater the SharkPG is releasing in May

Currently watching the trailer for Humankind, the new strategy game from Amplitude

[Malankazooie]

Maneater puts me in mind of Grand Theft Jaws.

I'm sitting at my desk with 2 beer cans, the show on my laptop and Glass Masquerade ( a super-chill stained glass jigsaw game) on my desktop

[Mentalist]

I have no idea who is singing (or what they are singing) Should I know?

Is this a Death Stranding song?

The fuck is Disco Elysium?

The best CRPG since Planescape Torment.

Coming to consoles next year

[Mentalist]

Uhhh. Wut? What is microsoft playing at?

They revealing VR now?

Oh, it's a next gen reveal by ninja theory.

Oh, no. It's a Senua sequel/prequel?

I liked Hellblade quite a lot. But I feel that turning it into a franchise would dilute the messages behind the game.

Oh hey, a PS5 game. Exclusive, looks like from Gearbox.

Edit: oh, also coming to Epic Game store. Hah.

More details: the game is an action-RPG "looter-slasher"- so like Borderlands with swords- set in a new fantasy universe. Also, new way of doing combat, apparently. Also playable solo, so cool.

Oooh, airship syndicate is making the league of Legends game!

Airship syndicate made Darksiders genesis, which is fucking awesome. These guys make cool RPGs.

I know next to nothing about League of Legends, but RPG from Airship Syndicate? Sign me up.

Should Control be on my radar?

I am gonna play the hell out of it when it's out of the EGS limbo.

[Mentalist]

Bahaha, Canadian takeover. This is that new D&D game.

First person is interesting choice. Also looks co-op-ish.

[Mentalist]

Ooh, the WolfEye stuff. Let's see another immersive sim, please.

A stylized Desperados with magic stuff. Published by Devolver, naturally.

I am intrigued.

[Mentalist]

Tsushima has stunning art style, but I'm still not sure how they gonna provide variety in an open world without becoming gimmicky.

Gears Tactics looks sweet, and I totally hope they'll bring more Gears games to PC after this prequel.


And here's that NetEase game, Naraka. It's an MMO, naturally, so, yawn. There's actually some cool melee-focused Chinese games in development on Steam, so I'd recommend looking there to get your Asian mythos fix.

[Mentalist]

Some cool stuff. That Amazon MMO's not dead: it's actually releasing in the spring.

And Disco Elysium cleans up, daymn. 4 awards, that's pretty damn good.

Oh hey, another LoL game. An action-platformer.

[Mentalist]

Daymn, Sekiro got it. That's awesome. Amazing game.

[Khellendros]

Xbox Series X???

[Aptorian]

Metal Gear?!

[Khellendros]

Xbox...SEX???

I reckon the ‘Series’ bit suggests there’s going to be a number of versions/iterations of this console.

Either that or more optimistically, it’s calling out the fact that it’s backwards compatible with all previous generations.

Couldn't watch the awards. Awards shows are too boring and I just can't. When Geoff Keighley was announced to start hosting, did Hideo Kojima walk out and then did Keighley pop out of Kojima's ass? *bu-dum-tsh.

Anywhoo, I kid. I see that Ghost of Tsushima has a release date of next summer (summer 2020). Watched the trailer on YouTube. It looks really good, but I would like to see some game play. Hopefully they will be releasing one of those type of trailers/videos.

Is it true there was no Babylon's Fall shown during the awards show? That's a bummer.

Weird West seems to be Diablo wrapped in a The Good, the Bad and the Ugly skin.

Weird West looks like Desperados 3 with the supernatural elements turned up to like 8.5

Babylon's Fall got shown at SoP, so we got Godfall instead.

Ghost of Tsushima had looks breathtaking with all those leaves and blades of grass bending with the wind; but aside from the Japanese setting, I'm yet to see what makes the gameplay stand out from AssCreed, Shadow of War, or any other 3rd person melee open-world game where your job is to take occupied territory back from an oppressing enemy.

I get that Sony isn't gonna hype this until TLoU2 is out; but once that's wrapped up, they really need to do some deep dives to show what makes this game different. Otherwise I'm thinking AssCreed gets revealed at E3 and it will eat this game alive.
