    I've never really played anything like this before, so I've no idea if it looks decent, or is as bland and generic as **** :p



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,799 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    If it's anything like Bulletstorm, it'll be crazy fun but forgettable. I really liked Bulletstorm, they tried to do something different, pity it didn't take.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    2020 Steam Game Festival: Summer Edition postponed to June 16 to 22

    IGN's Summer of Gaming yoke starts tonight. There's a charity stream of a Doom Eternal speedrun first, with the news, reveals etc starting at 9:30.



    There's a list of what to expect on IGN itself, but nothing major jumps out at me. Maybe the gameplay trailer for Mortal Shell.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,067 ✭✭✭Gunmonkey


    A few bits n pieces there, Chivalry 2 will thrill by brother-in-law. Yakuza 7 gameplay and interview, could possibly get more info on Western release. And some kind of a classic game revival....probably just some mediocre mobile tier game everyone forgot for a good reason.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Anyone watching this? Don't want to be posting here if I'm on me tod. :pac:

    Just started watching will post some of the trailers. Will wait for a few to air so I'm not creating multiple posts


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,405 ✭✭✭RedXIV


    Just joining now, dunno if I've missed much as I've just seen a guy playing with dinosaur toys so far


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Alex the ****ing kid, what a blast from my master system past.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Think I'd have been more interested in Darkborn/Project Wight than Metal - Hellsinger.

    Aye, never saw that coming. Played a ton out of the built in copy from my Master System.

    IGN just doing interviews at the moment, no real trailers at the moment

    Watching the Yakuza 7 interview, i really don't like the look of the turn based combat. I mean, it's good they're trying something new but it's like a step backward. Would really need to try this before buying.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,889 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Looks like they are grouping trailers together with a few interviews in between them. Personally, I'd just prefer trailers or gameplay demos


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Wasteland 3 looks to be shaping up nicely.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Wasteland 3 looks alright, never played the first 2.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Xbox, steam and Nintendo can keep Demon Turf.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,472 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    I was tempted to get Observer a few times, will definitely check out the next gen version, looks so nice.
