I’ve posted an old Gamescom trailer of this game in the indie games thread, but I think this game deserves its own thread, especially with the new alpha gameplay trailer released yesterday. This is a survival horror game in first person, with rogue-like elements like perma-death, level randomisation, and unreliable power-ups. The game’s style is an 80’s vision of sci-fi, and it’s set on a lunar base, where things have gone horribly wrong. And that’s were you come in. One of my most anticipated titles. Edit: Oh it's PC for now.

You see, now that's the kind of announcement I was hoping to see in an E3 Direct.

So still no word on a Nintendo show? That's a damn shame. Regardless of the actual quality of the show, I always look forward to it. it's also probably why I'm absolutely not aware of any other shows, because apparently I've totally missed the LRG show (and I probably can't be arsed to watch any other shows). At first glance that list doesn't contain many interesting titles, but I'll (finally) get Doom at least, and Turtles. On the other hand, I'm kind of bitter I'll have to order a LRG version after pre-ordering a regular version that's cancelled, it won't fit with the other game.

The problem for me is that you're right, and I can see Marvel heading the exact same way, with all these shows coming out. I still following the films because I love the characters, and all the castings have been on point, and there's usually some funny dialogue. But story-wise not everything has been great. WandaVision definitely wasn't great, and I don't care much for any of the other shows. I can imagine a future where I stop watching Marvel stuff altogether the same way I stopped watching Star Wars stuff. For now, I'll keep following the films, but I'm all but done with the shows. I'll give the 2nd season of Loki a chance, but have no interest in any other Marvel shows at this point.

I did, and for the most part it is to me, though I'm still going to judge individual stories on their own, if for some reason I'm still giving something a chance. I wouldn't mind trying Fallen Order for example, and to be fair, I've watched 3 films since the latest reboot before I gave up on the films, so you can't say i didn't give it a chance. Last thing I'll say about Obi-Wan Kenobi:

It feels different to me. It needs some drama, but I didn't feel anything besides annoyance. It's just badly acted, directed and written. None of the characters besides Obi-Wan, including Leia, were interesting to me, and all the plot points so far felt pointless.

Then they've still done something wrong, because that's not at all the vibe the show was giving. You must remember that 1] I once was a Star Wars fan, and 2] I had no preconceptions at all before watching this show, no bias whatsoever. I haven't watched any of the trailers, and didn't know anything besides the show being about Obi-Wan. My opinion is as objective as possible. I had no particular interest in watching the show, but neither did I have any particular reason to not watch it. If I knew I was going to hate it beforehand I wouldn't have watched it.

I don't even know what red letter media is. I was laughing out loud during that scene when that green guy ran into that branch after two minutes. I was wondering if anyone uploaded that clip, and that was one of the videos that showed up.

I happen to have watched the first 2 episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, as my brother was here and started to watch it, and I thought "why the hell not" and watched along. I've not seen a single episode of any Star Wars shows, including the Clone War animations, so here's a fresh take on it. It's fucking shit. This was too good to hide in a spoiler. At one point the show was so dumb that it was hilarious. This pretty much sums up the show for me.

None of the previous 500 sets interested you?

You don't respect the Goose? You motherfucker. (Don't play Gris)

Hmm, I don't follow football, but I'm going to be aware of the result tonight either way, as I live next to Feijenoord's home city, and I'll probably be in Rotterdam myself tonight.

I'll skip this one, I must admit I've seen a bit too much of Dr. Strange beforehand.

Surprising cameo for the Chip'n Dale film. I actually admire the marketing genius behind that.

@Julius set it up, blame him.

I bet Daredevil didn't see it coming.

That's why they invented the search . (Dead Space) The game was great, though I never finished it because of a floaty mouse.. I'll need to re-install it some day and play it with a controller. If you haven't played it I'd say go for it, but personally I don't have any need for a remake. I'll happily play the old version.

The sequel! https://www.spike-chunsoft.co.jp/ai-nirvana/en/ Yep I'm pre-ordering the limited edition.

@bob I haven't seent the show, so I have nothing to say.

I didn't!

Don't tell me what not to do!

You should make a "Belated happy birthday" threads for both.

The game's slightly delayed. I think the original date was in June, it's now 08-07-2022. https://www.spike-chunsoft.com/news/ai-the-somnium-files-nirvana-initiative-eu-release-date-change/

Are you going to do this everyday?

Whoo, it's official! Looks great!
