DQXI on Xbox is awesomeness news, a really superb edition to the catalogue, set aside a good few months for that one folks

Hey remember when people used to be excited for the potential of new technology, rather than wanting a new console generation purely for creatively hidebound recreations of {game I played in 2001}, Metacritic 68?

 

You weren't a fan then RJ? 

 

You're right of course, we should be more excited for what advances in gaming these new boxes deliver, rather than pining for shinier versions of games long past. Onward and upward. On that note, I hope this gen builds on the sort of traversal mechanics we've seen in Titanfall 2 and we get something which really marries fluid motion with shooting. Titanfall 2 is the pinnacle so far, I'd love to see how Respawn build on that and with the fast streaming of assets afforded by the SSD's, I imagine they could really up the intensity and scope of FPS traversal.

HAL..... Oh

[teddymeow]

Does ray tracing mean all games at the start of the gen will be stupidly shiny just for the sake of it?

Probably :/

[teddymeow]

What if the main show is 45 minutes of Halo and 15 minutes of everything else?

[Marlew]

Better second panel. Danny and Alanah are generally great. I don't know the other dude but seems a bit more comfortable than the first gang. 

[layten]

Youtube is so fucking shit at these live events.

[Transient Curse]

Can none of these people look into their camera? It's like they all think they're on the phone, not broadcasting to the world. 

 

My stream was buffering for a bit there, genuinely more entertaining

I guess they wouldn't be if they were all in the same studio.

I think that would still please a very large crowd.

It's  a fair point, perhaps they should arrange them on a virtual stage so it looks like they're talking to each other rather than split screen boxes. 

 

Sorry for complaining, I clearly had unrealistic expectations!

[Isaac]

It is becoming clear that this preshow could have been about 5 minutes long.

Oh yes.

[Eighthours]

How’s the Twitch stream? The trailers in the pre-show on YouTube look awful.

[Alex W.]

Just now, JPL said:

Oh yes.

 

I kept forgetting to ask, was that some MST3K fake audience cutout business? He wasn't actually in front of an audience of weird mannequins right?

[layten]

This is fucking awful. 

[Uncle Mike]

The brief gap at the end of each trailer where Geoff painfully reconstructs his smile, seemingly while reading a manual on how to human, is crazily weird.

[teddymeow]

I thought "N1NJA" was minted?

 

Can he not afford a tripod for his camera?

It's like a robot rebooting. It's fucking creepy.

[Uncle Nasty]

This is a massive fluff/promo piece for Halo and of course everything they have said is scripted and will be in the game. It's going to be fucking amazing.

[Ry]

That looks neat.
