I actually just checked and it looks like we've also got the PC Gaming Show later today, with the Future Games Show in the evening! I'll probably stuff those into one post though. Hope that our man Sean gets to be the guy hosting 🤞🏻
Matt Mercer as host! World premiere form Eidos-Montreal!
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy | Marvel & eidos-Montreal | XBOX, PC, Playstation October 26th 2021
Peter?? So...Spiderman? (Nope)
Guardians of the Galaxy-looking game. Haven't seen it so I don't know!
Seems to be exploring a world with a bunch of weirdo monsters
You are "Star Lord" Peter something apparently. Single-player, story-driven, third-person action adventure game.
People here to talk about the game
Choices matter!
Gotta say that after Marvel's Avengers (video game) I'm not really sold yet...
More gameplay, showing off the first? mission. Honestly it's not really up my alley, but the world looks pretty nice.
20 minutes of gameplay later, I think this shouldn't be in this show (save it for an in-depth look) but it looks not so bad! Unexpectedly. Still everyone's bored to death lol
FInal Fantasy | Square Enix
REMASTER??
The first six games get pixel remasters for Steam and Mobile.
Unfortunately this might mean it's the mobile ports which suck?
No date announced
Legend of Mana | Steam/Switch/PS4 | June 24th
Extremely anime trailer showing nothing
Marvel's Avengers | Marvel & Square
Oh no...
Well they are including more free updates that include new heroes? Monica?
New missions
Wasteland Patrol coming later (summer and beyond)
War for Wakanda coming later -- Black Panther expansion
I'm cautiously optimistic about this one! Since it looks very nice. The spaceships are cool.
Mobile game updates incoming
Hitman Sniper: The Shadows | June 13
Nier Reincarnation coming West (already finished playing it in Japan)
Final Fantasy x FFBE crossover (Free summon!)
FFBE advertisements
FFVII The First Soldier coming worldwide in 2021
Babylon's Fall | Platinum Games
Adventure four player game? Looks like lots of hack and slash mechanics
The English is a little obnoxious
PS4 & PS5 & Steam
Sign up for closed beta!
Develop interview with Saitou Yusuke and others as they talk about the development of the game, talking about the story and linear progression. Hack and slash > triggers skills > customization
High fantasy's "jouhin-sa" and they took great care of the atmosphere (will retranslate this later)
Also plan on supporting the game past release for a long while
Life is Strange series
Remastered original trilogy available September 30
True Colours first gameplay
Alex's empathy thing looks really interesting. I'm honestly very interested in the game but I haven't played the original trilogy
September 10th
Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin | Square Enix Japan & Team Ninja & Koei Tecmo | 2022
Development footage
This RPG features a chuuni protagonist who "wants to kill Chaos" and looks like an old version of the Warrior of Light. There are only 3 of them though?
Looks like an action RPG
Warriors of Light??! Wait I thought so at Garland but is this guy from FF1?
Final Fantasy Origin Strangers of Chaos -- an ARPG take on the series that is all new!
Demo coming to PS5 soon
Reel of upcoming games
FFXVI and Forspoken (?) are interesting but the rest are just?
Okay... honestly that was really lacklustre. I do think they did good by ending with the new FF Origin game, and I thought Babylon's Fall was interesting looking, (and Life is Strange 2's gameplay) but everything else was really... I mean seriously, don't stick so much mobile stuff into the show please. I guess their show will look better in 2022!
Thanks for reading this far! I'll probably summarize my thoughts on the PC Gaming Show and Future Games Show later on.
