Anxious to see what Indiana Jones looks like. Machine was a 1 hit wonder with New Order. All the rest of their games have been complete shite.

Hopefully Hellblade 2 pans out

First game was fantastic, so I'm hoping they're able to follow through on that one for sure.

I feel like this is one MS needs to be a hit, especially with the Blade game coming down the line. I've never really been into Wolfenstein and Quake so can't say I'm super familiar with MachineGames.

Avowed preview looked pretty decent. Much better than the last look I recall. Multiple loadouts that you can swap between during combat to move from melee to range to magic seamlessly. Interested in how that will work but Obsidian has a pretty good track record so I'm inclined to believe it.

Releasing "Fall 2024."

The preview for this game looked awesome. Apparently it's releasing in May.

Square Enix presented at the direct and announced "Visions of Mana," which will release "Summer 2024" on XBox.

MachineGames gives first look at "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle." Todd Howard is producing and helped introduce the game.

They had a dude in full rainbow gear talking about creating the game for a "modern audience." Looks pretty good but anytime someone talks about a "story for modern audiences" it makes me pretty skeptical.

ETA: Oh, of course. a female of color as the second protagonist.

ETA2: Releasing "later this year."

Are people going to complain about Obsidian's game design being outdated? The Avowed trailer showed footage of NPCs standing still and talking.

So...Tomb Raider? Because that's what came to mind while I was watching the trailer and gameplay.

ETA: Also, I find it hard to believe anyone could actually claim Indiana Jones is following anything at all in this genre...

Might be a better choice.

No one said anything was following anything. Just that if you want an Indiana Jones style game, those two were already done.

I hope it's as good as the newer Tomb Raider games with a decent story on top of it. That would be a home run imo.

Here's the reveal trailer for anyone interested.

Indiana Jones looks good, I just wish it wasn't a first-person perspective.

I just read that it's a mix of first- and third-person. I hope the third-person gameplay isn't limited to QTEs or something.

Indiana is Day 1 on Gamepass, guess I am in

Looked good, but Lara is my girl. Mr. Jones will need to be pretty awesome to top the TR Reboot

I absolutely loved that first one. Rise seems just as good but I just can't seem to finish it. I'll download it, play it for a night or two, and drop it.
