The first thread was fun, let’s try again! And let’s try to keep it positive, that’s always a lot more fun to read.
Personally, the new Fable trailer was exciting and Clair Obscure was the most interesting new IP I saw.

We finally have a release date for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024!
So is this a full new game, that I have to rebuy everything for? Or will this be an upgrade like train simulator where my stuff comes with me?
It’s a full new game that you need to purchase separately, but all the marketplace stuff you’ve bought for 2020 will also come with you to 2024
Hard to keep track, but wasn’t almost everything shown going to be in Gamepass as well? Not a great option for some folks, but potentially cheaper if you don’t think you’ll be playing for longer than a few months or if you’re interested in a lot of the other titles.
You know what? I like that. I think that’s respectable. I’ll happily pay another $60-100 for a quality game upgrade like this, even if it does melt my PC, as long as I get to keep my marketplace items through the upgrade. That also makes me more likely to purchase marketplace items, so I get to keep them for the next iteration.
Clair Obscure reminds me a lot Lost Odyssey with its dynamic turn-based gameplay with QTE to alter the outcome. The plot is also quite interesting. Perfect Dark also surprised me. It seems to have Mirror Edge vibes with a bit more infiltration / action phases.
So Matt Berry being in Fable is pretty much a given at this point, right?
Gears of War: E-Day.
That trailer is like bringing the original team from 2007 to 2024 to make this game and trailer. I had to watch it three times last night.
Felt just like when I was in high school and ooing and awing over the trailers for the original game. I remember those late nights with my cousins playing co-op against the hordes.
Perfect Dark
Never played the original one.
The new Doom looks fucking sick.
Okay, maybe you can help me out. I loved Doom 2016 but bounced off of Eternal because the beginning felt so arcade-y in tone compared to 2016’s “wake up in a tomb full of dead scientistsand punch the monitor” intro. Then I saw the DLCs and this newest game’s trailer and they look so cool again? Did I read Eternal wrong, does it just have a weird intro, or do they somehow integrate that arcade-y feel?
Eternal pretty much integrates the Sci-fi story of the first game with the medieval fantasy lore it had in the codexes.
It’s a bit jarring in the first few levels because you don’t have a lot of the new tools so the game is still pulling it’s punches in case you need to get used to 2016’s mechanics I think.
I think it really clicks around the time you get the super shotgun and the mobility you get comes into play.
The tone is goofier than 2016 but in a metalhead’s drug trip kinda way that works really well in my opinion.
You should give it another shot and stick with it until you have the full arsenal, it has a ridiculous amount of depth.
