The Gaming Showcase Thread 2024 General Gaming

[Tom]

I'm glad Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is going to Game Pass. I'll play it but I don't really feel like buying another CoD game just to be underwhelmed by it.

Excited for the new Perfect Dark game and surprised but looking forward to a new Gears of War game. Glad they've gone down the prequel route instead of Gears 6 after the way Gears 5 ended.

This was the best Xbox Showcase for a few years.

 

[Best]

30 games shown
30 games coming to PC
18 coming day one to XGP/PCGP

1 "And one more thing"

Hands down the best presentation they have done in years.

The new Gears of War looks class.

I'm interested in the new Assassin's Creed too mainly due to the location and setting.

Game Pass is going to be stacked.

Call of Duty campaigns have always been pretty good so I'll give that a go.

Atomfall could be interesting along with Mixtape.

 

[Gemma]

So excited for a new Gears game! My favourite franchise and Marcus and Dom back!

Thought that was an amazing Xbox showcase. Just one huge game after another.

Yeah, I'm interested in Atomfall mainly because it is by the Rebellion, the team that makes the Sniper Elite games.

KARMA: The Dark World Preview

At Summer Games Fest, we got to go hands on with the new psychological thriller KARMA: The Dark World from Chinese studio Pollard Studios.

The game is a psychological thriller that takes place in an alternate history where a mega corporation called Leviathan stops World War II thanks to having advanced technology and basically controls the world at this point. The game puts you in the shoes of an agent working for the company that has the ability to investigate and enter other characters' minds to experience their specific memories about parts of their lives.

This demo featured us exploring an office worker's mind who was labeled a traitor to the company. Through the demo, the character is being chased by a multi-armed monster through the office building as he's trying to get away without dying. The game isn't necessarily a survival horror game or too scary, but dabbles in some mind bending thriller aspects similar to games like Alan Wake or Control. There was even a specific moment that reminded me of something straight out of Control.
