I suppose my initial enthusiasm was based more on the promise the game shows rather than the evidence on screen. I'm enthused too by some of the press reports of the media showcase that included the section prior to what the public saw, though they haven't actually played it themselves so all we have to go on as to how the game plays is what the devs have said.

I personally think there's a ton of potential for a Star Wars game that plays a bit like Sekiro and its ilk, and that's what the media have been comparing it to. It's never going to have the same level of difficulty, Star Wars is too mass-market for that, but something that's a bit more complicated than "swing lightsaber, kill enemy" would be very welcome.

Bleeding Edge, the new game from Ninja Theory. The subtitle, not revealed today, will be "Bleeding nora, another team-based hero shooter."

Minecraft: Diablo, err, Dungeons, or "how is it that a franchise this popular has had so few spinoffs?"

I think it sounds like he thinks they already have.

Blair Witch: Yes, apparently execs think it's still relevant.

Ooh, Cyberpunk.

I have to say that this is a strong conference so far. Even if you're not all that excited for some of the software, the pricing for the Gamepass means that you're going to be able to try an awful lot of it practically for free.

It's seriously making me reconsider my stance on buying an XBox One (which was influenced by all of the shit they tried to pull at the start of this generation).
