Very pleased to see Dragon’s Dogma II there - that’s gone straight towards the top of my wish list purely based on how much I loved the first game. As long as they keep most of that wonderful combat mechanic intact, I’ll be very happy.
Spider Man looked great, and so did Final Fantasy XVI but then we all expected that.
Not so sure about the handheld thing… streaming only? I guess a Vita 2 would be too much to expect, but I can’t say I’m enthused. Maybe I need to wait for more…
Probably my biggest disappointment is Bungie’s next project being a PvP game. Like they decided to focus on the very worst bit of Destiny and jettison everything that’s good. Ah well…

The Spiderman subreddit is hilarious right now, they've literally been complaining like children for some gameplay and then when they get it and more so, they're like "I don't like these textures", "the lighting looks downgraded", " I wanted upgraded swinging physics". God I would hate to be game dev sometimes.

Interesting, Marathon isn't an exclusive. It's multiplatform.

Watching back through this, Phantom Blade, Dragon's Dogma and AssCreed are definitely on my watch list, as is that Cat Quest game oddly enough. Looks like a fun palette cleanser among the bigger stuff at least.
FF16 looked oddly poor graphically in places... The fights still looked phenomenal, but some of the more mundane cutscenes, not so much, at least to me.
Lots of "Not Actual Gameplay"s being thrown around though...

Wasn't a bad showcase. That samurai Nioh Sekiro thing as the one that stood out the most, then Alan Wake 2. The samurai thing though. I want that.

It's not a samurai thing, it's extremely Chinese looking. If it's like the other games they're bringing from China (Lost Soul Aside, Wukong) I don't think we'll see it complete for a long while.

Oh yeah. It’ll be nothing like as cool as that makes it look. Nothing wrong with a little dream mind you.

I'm also struggling to see the point of the wireless streaming thing. Like you can only play it on your home connection. I just don't see this selling in great numbers. They have remote play already, it isn't great, I can't imagine this being any better.

I think it has a place, in the same way a Switch is often played on the sofa next to a partner watching some shit on TV - it’s a more elegant solution to propping an iPad on your thighs and a controller squashed up in your lap. Really depends on the price as to how popular it will be, but it won’t blow the roof off and they can’t be expecting it to.

Sword of the Sea pushed the biggest button for me. I love Journey, Abzu and Pathless so more of that is very welcome. Their games never look less than gorgeous to me and I didn’t know they had something new coming.
Alan Wake 2 looks like it could be a tense one. Glad it appears so faithful to the quirks of the first one. Hopefully the gameplay is a big less walk forward in a straight line-y in this game.
Spiderman 2 looked great. The same but more works for me.

Yeah but a Switch is its own local device it's not really comparable other than it being portable. It will be bought by the person with too much disposable income and little time because it's a shiny thing to have and end up gathering dust.

I'm quite tempted by the streaming thing. It would be a decent little addition when the big TV is being used. Just dependent on how good the screen is and what sort of price it comes in at.

I like the visual in the Neva trailer. I assume it’ll be a melancholy platformer.
Ultros had a fun look too for what appears to just be Castlevania beneath it.

From a quick glance, that wireless streaming thing is the Wii U but none of the two screen capability.
Maybe not a bad thing, and a lot of my Switch use is when I'm already near the TV, but I'm unsure anyone was crying out for that unless it's super cheap.

So you can play it while having a shit...I guess

I’d think it’ll sit about £100, though if anyone is selling for £80 it’ll do a lot better.

Seeing as a controller goes for almost 70 quid and it contains the dual sense innards and a screen it'll be over 100 quid.

I can never tell with this stuff any more. It *should* be £99, which means it will probably be £129-149. But then I wouldn't put it past Sony to rip the piss at £199 either. Absolutely no idea to be honest.

The Vita was like 179 quid if memory serves me well. If that Project Q thing has a decent screen, which looks pretty massive, then it'll be pushing 250-300 I reckon.

MS was dropping the trailers in the showcase as they were being announced, that are coming to XBox.

Want to see more of Phantom Blade 0 which was the highlight for me though i get the feeling it has QTEs and they left the promots out.
Immortals also looked fun.

Yeah that samurai game looked mint. I have serious reservations about it playing as smoothly as that in reality though. It at least looks like it's going more for style and set pieces than chasing the Souls formula though, so that's a nice change.

Ordered that WD-Black SSD. Going to pick up a PS5 from Game tomorrow. Just need to decide which bundle to get.
