play00:15

surprisingly very very solid with dozens

play00:22

dedicated an entire third of their short

play00:25

half hour presentations Concord a

play00:28

play00:31

PlayStation comes across as looking

microtransaction hungry financially

play00:51

predatory and to not give a damn about

play00:54

their loyal audience the Xbox

play00:56

presentation reminded Gamers the Xbox is

play00:59

the SST which offers the most value for

play01:01

money through these

play01:04

unprecedentedly tough Economic Times

play01:06

something that Sony seemed to brush

play01:09

under the carpet like as though it's not

play01:11

even happening at the moment primarily

play01:13

what I mean by this is that in Xbox's

play01:16

case after practically every game was

play01:18

shown on screen they would remind us

play01:20

that these games can be played Day One

play01:23

on Game Pass no huge $70 purchases every

play01:27

single time you want to play a game this

play01:30

this is something incredibly important

play01:32

to remind customers who you are very

play01:34

aware are thinking about every penny

play01:36

they spend at the moment essentially the

play01:39

whole thing came across as though it

play01:40

showed an incredible awareness of their

play01:43

core base and their needs rather than

play01:45

tone death like PlayStation last week so

play01:49

without further Ado let's begin

play01:50

discussing some or maybe even all of the

play01:53

games on the

play01:54

Showcase so the first came up was Call

play01:57

of Duty Black Ops 6 which they were

play01:59

obviously doing um a Call of Duty direct

play02:01

immediately after the main showcase so I

play02:04

Shan go into too much I personally don't

play02:07

play Call of Duty games but the trailer

play02:10

does look pretty cool so yeah not not

play02:13

really one for me but yeah it still

play02:15

looks really really awesome I can see

play02:17

why a lot of people would be really

play02:18

really really Mega excited for this one

play02:20

the next game not going to lie the

play02:22

moment I saw that it said Bethesda

play02:25

present I was already just ever so

play02:28

slightly hyped I can't lie I love

play02:31

Bethesda games um so for me that was

play02:34

already a good start and then as as we

play02:36

go through the whole the whole

play02:37

presentation what you'll find is that

play02:39

there's quite a few bits that have been

play02:41

put uh put together by Bethesda so I'm

play02:44

already a bit of a fan just a little bit

play02:47

so as the trailer had got into sort of

play02:48

full swing I was sitting there thinking

play02:52

what is this it looks meant to evil I'm

play02:54

like sitting there trying to place what

play02:55

is this and um all of a sudden it starts

play02:59

going almost like a bit mechanical

play03:02

looking I'm like what is this wrecking

play03:04

my brain trying to guess what it is I

play03:06

was enjoying it already and then it

play03:09

starts going into like all the action

play03:12

and I'm like oh my God what is this oh

play03:16

my God is this is this a doom game no

play03:19

surely not oh oh my God it's a doom game

play03:23

so yeah amazing looking Doom the Dark

play03:26

Ages it looks absolutely sick I cannot

play03:31

wait to have a go on that game it looks

play03:33

brilliant I'm very very excited for that

play03:37

absolutely on it the next game I was

play03:39

like oh what's this is this like a

play03:41

Walking Dead game or something and you

play03:44

know obviously I'd had a bit of moan in

play03:46

my state of play video um about tropes

play03:50

that seem to be dragged on forever and

play03:52

ever and ever so I was like oh God a

play03:54

zombie game but give this trailer a bit

play03:57

of a chance like it's usually all right

play04:00

it's not too bad you started seeing some

play04:03

slightly funky looking zombies was the

play04:05

moment I realized it wasn't a Walking

play04:07

Dead game um and that's when I realized

play04:09

oh hang on a moment this is State of

play04:11

Decay 3 I'm not really the biggest

play04:13

player of zombie survival type games but

play04:17

it does look all right I've got to say

play04:19

though it is just a trailer there's not

play04:21

actually any exhibition thereof any game

play04:23

playay but it does look pretty cool

play04:26

especially at the end of the trailer

play04:27

where you have this absolute unit of a

play04:30

zombie coming forward um which is

play04:32

something that you don't get in Walking

play04:33

Dead stuff so yeah looks all right I was

play04:36

quite happy with it so the next trailer

play04:38

I was like oh right okay is this a

play04:40

service game just because of the way

play04:42

they had it set up with um like the

play04:44

different characters and their uh class

play04:47

titles and so on and so forth um but it

play04:49

was set in um like medieval European

play04:53

looking sort of environments and was

play04:56

looking pretty cold pretty dark and I

play04:59

was wondering if this is going to be one

play05:00

of them service games how on Earth is

play05:02

that going to work and I think I might

play05:04

have been wrong so the game is Dragon

play05:06

Age the vilard now I've actually got

play05:09

several Dragon Age games and I've never

play05:11

actually played them so let me know if

play05:13

you think I should give those ones a

play05:14

quick go but actually looks all right it

play05:16

does look all right I hope theyve not

play05:18

got it set up as a service game um I'm

play05:20

hoping that I'm just um worrying

play05:22

unnecessarily after watching the Concord

play05:24

trailer yeah it looks pretty fun it

play05:27

looks like a bit of me um so I might

play05:29

actually um I'll give that a go when it

play05:31

comes out and in the meantime I might

play05:33

give the older ones a go the next one I

play05:35

saw Bethesda again and then started

play05:38

hearing the theme from starfields

play05:40

playing so I was like okay what's this

play05:43

oh let's have a look so apart from

play05:45

watching um sort of like maybe the first

play05:47

15 20 minutes of Starfield on some Let's

play05:51

Plays I haven't actually had a go on it

play05:52

to yet myself so is this going to be the

play05:56

thing that actually kicks me into gear

play05:58

and encourag me to actually start that

play06:00

game because I've been meaning to and

play06:03

just not got around to it yet and I was

play06:05

watching the trailer and I thought oh my

play06:07

God that almost looks like a little bit

play06:09

EV vent Horizon and I'm starting to get

play06:12

into it a bit so if I needed any more of

play06:14

a carrot to get on to playing Starfield

play06:17

I do think shattered space is going to

play06:20

be that carrot says it's coming out this

play06:22

year so I will absolutely be giving that

play06:25

one a go oh but that's not all it looks

play06:27

like for people who have already got

play06:29

Starfield it looks like there's a load

play06:30

of downloads that they're going to be

play06:32

able to have on the game so yes I really

play06:34

think I need to get on Starfield sooner

play06:36

rather than later again another Bethesda

play06:39

one and I saw sugar bombs and I was like

play06:42

oh okay you've got me it's Fallout so

play06:46

yes I do love Fallout I haven't played

play06:49

Fallout 76 though I really haven't the

play06:51

last one that I played and I played it

play06:53

to Absolute death was Fallout 4 so yes I

play06:56

I was absolutely like quite excited when

play06:59

I saw this one because I thought do you

play07:00

know this is going to give me a reason

play07:01

it's going to give me a reason to play

play07:03

that game so yeah it was a brilliant

play07:05

trailer I liked how different it was as

play07:07

well that it was almost set up like um a

play07:10

1960s television program with um the

play07:12

voltech presenter and the panel there

play07:15

taking the telephone calls and then it

play07:16

was intering it with gameplay and a a

play07:19

ghou overseer as well quite liked that

play07:23

and um yeah it looks absolutely

play07:25

fantastic again another carrot for me to

play07:27

encourage me to actually install that

play07:29

game and have a go on it after having it

play07:32

on my shelf for such a long time but

play07:35

then they drop it at the last moment oh

play07:38

you get to play as a go I always

play07:40

wondered why we couldn't play as a go

play07:41

previously or why the character couldn't

play07:43

start like turning into a goal and so on

play07:46

and so forth but now we actually get to

play07:47

play as one I am

play07:49

absolutely I'm so happy I like that a

play07:53

lot so yes that's going to be out in a

play07:54

couple of days and it's straight on Game

play07:56

Pass yeah love it very very consumer

play07:59

friendly

play08:00

so the next game is something I've never

play08:01

seen before uh CLA obscure Expedition 33

play08:05

this game looks absolutely brilliant

play08:09

like outrageous like the trailer as soon

play08:13

as it opens I'm like what the hell is

play08:15

going on honestly color me intrigued

play08:18

like the first part of the trailer where

play08:20

it just shows sort of like a story um a

play08:23

story trailer showing I guess what's

play08:25

going on in the game and I am already

play08:28

like so ke I I cannot wait to have a

play08:31

gone on this game even better than that

play08:33

it seems to have some jrpg elements to

play08:36

it so yeah love that very excited for

play08:39

that very very excited for that the art

play08:41

style of the next game is absolutely

play08:44

glorious it is it's so different looking

play08:47

it just looks so good I cannot oh I I

play08:51

can't I cannot explain to you how pretty

play08:54

this game looks and I like the

play08:56

characters on it um I like the

play08:59

environment I like the sounds it it

play09:02

looks so imaginative oh I just

play09:04

absolutely love it it's gorgeous but

play09:07

this is one of the trailers where you

play09:08

actually get to see some of the gameplay

play09:10

and it looks so fun and a little bit

play09:13

scary but mostly fun I I want to have a

play09:16

go I love The Vibes of it it seems to

play09:19

have almost like deep south vibe to it I

play09:22

like the blues music um I I even like

play09:26

the accents of all of the characters it

play09:28

just it feels so different and really

play09:30

really fresh I really really like it so

play09:33

yes it's called south of midnight and

play09:35

it's coming it's coming next year but

play09:37

it'll be going straight to Game Pass so

play09:40

absolutely I will be having a go on that

play09:42

game I love the look of that game the

play09:46

next game was World of Warcraft that's

play09:48

not um a game that I've ever

play09:50

particularly been overly interested in

play09:52

I've never really had a go on it so

play09:54

there's not really much that I can

play09:55

comment on it apart from it looks pretty

play09:56

good then we move on to Metal Gear Solid

play10:01

and that was quite an interesting one to

play10:03

see now I have not had a go on a metal

play10:06

gear game for a really long time and

play10:08

I've never actually had a meaningful

play10:10

playthrough of a metal gear game either

play10:13

so I actually think this is one that I

play10:15

might um give some attention to when it

play10:17

comes out like I've gotten quite used to

play10:20

playing quite fast-paced games but

play10:21

obviously this one forces you to slow

play10:23

right down and really think about what

play10:25

you're doing and it looks absolutely

play10:28

marvelous from from the trailer so

play10:30

that's definitely one that I might have

play10:32

a look at I don't want to go too deep

play10:34

into the trailer on that one because

play10:36

it's not caught my eye as much as some

play10:39

of the other games on this so next up

play10:41

they had official sea of Thieves season

play10:45

13 uh become a villain which um I again

play10:48

I've never actually had a go on see a

play10:49

thieves I know a lot of people who

play10:51

actually really really enjoy that game

play10:54

um it's not one I've had to go on before

play10:56

but it does look pretty all right I like

play10:57

the look of it stylistic Ally this one's

play11:00

probably the most unique one so far as I

play11:02

said I've never had a go and see a

play11:04

thieves myself but by the looks of this

play11:06

trailer I think I've been missing out

play11:08

next they showed flint lock the siege of

play11:10

dawn which is coming out on the 18th of

play11:13

July and going straight to Game Pass I

play11:15

can't put my finger on it there's

play11:16

something about that game that isn't

play11:18

quite hitting it with me I am not sure

play11:21

that's one that I'm going to rush to

play11:22

have a go on I can't put my finger on it

play11:24

I don't know why it looks all right I'm

play11:27

probably being a bit harsh

play11:29

I don't know what's um what's not doing

play11:31

it for me but there's something about it

play11:33

that's um not really all there for me

play11:36

you see the next game though as soon as

play11:38

I saw this as soon as I saw Isis I was

play11:43

like oh my God and I immediately felt

play11:48

this huge amount of excitement welling

play11:50

up in me and I was like oh my God age of

play11:53

apology oh my God Age of

play11:56

Mythology I watched state of play I've

play11:58

watched this I've watched otk I've

play12:01

watched a couple of the other ones this

play12:03

is the first time where I was actually

play12:05

like oh my God I'm so excited about a

play12:09

game and it's because it's a game I've

play12:11

already played a million times but

play12:13

they've made it new so yes AG of

play12:15

Mythology I am fully fully hyped for

play12:19

that very excited bloody love it yes I

play12:22

don't know else to say I love that game

play12:25

and they've remade it and I'm going to

play12:27

be able to play it on my Xbox

play12:29

and I so happy that it is a play it on

play12:33

day one with game pass the next trailer

play12:35

is for Perfect Dark and I thought that

play12:38

was quite interesting because virtually

play12:40

all of the trailer is nearly all

play12:42

gameplay and I liked that I appreciated

play12:45

that it looks like it's good fun looks

play12:47

like it's got really interesting story

play12:48

line to it um very intriguing and I

play12:52

definitely want to give it a go so apart

play12:55

from looking like a bit of a first-

play12:56

person shooter it's also giving parkour

play12:59

it's also giving day one game pass so

play13:01

very consumer friendly Xbox I'm loving

play13:04

it next up they have Diablo 4 and they

play13:08

start this part of the trailer saying

play13:09

the following trailer contains graphic

play13:11

content and may be disturbing to some

play13:16

viewers it grossed me out all I'm going

play13:19

to say is if you haven't watched the

play13:22

trailer and you're not easily grossed

play13:24

out then you'll be fine but I watched it

play13:29

and there was one bit

play13:30

and I was absolutely horrified I've not

play13:34

played Diablo and I don't know if I can

play13:37

if I've got to watch that

play13:41

again oh my gosh so yeah that's coming

play13:44

out later this year I can't say I'll be

play13:48

having a go though bloody hell the

play13:50

moment the next game trailer started

play13:53

playing I was like oh oh oh oh now I

play13:59

know some people online have been

play14:01

complaining about the appearance of the

play14:02

main character however I am a bit of a

play14:05

DieHard fan of fa I absolutely bloody

play14:09

love the Fable games for me I feel like

play14:12

all of the characters all look a little

play14:14

bit on the ugly side as it is so it

play14:16

doesn't bother me personally in fact not

play14:19

going to lie I think it looks gorgeous

play14:21

not the main character but the game

play14:23

itself looks absolutely stunning I just

play14:26

I love it it's so British now one of the

play14:29

things I really really really love about

play14:32

the Fable games is that you can

play14:33

basically choose whether you go like

play14:36

down the Goods Route a neutral route or

play14:38

a bad route and I always cuz I'm such a

play14:42

goody I always pick like the really

play14:45

really like good sensible route oh I

play14:48

just I love it and you would not

play14:50

convince me otherwise I bloody love it I

play14:53

will play it regardless of how

play14:55

unappealing the main character might be

play14:57

oh and it's another day day one game

play15:00

pass I love it when there's consumer

play15:03

friendly practices in place next up

play15:07

there's frag Punk uh not really

play15:09

interested in that one it looks like a

play15:10

service game Zuma shooter and so I'm

play15:13

going to give this one a quick skip what

play15:15

I will say though is kudos to Xbox at

play15:19

least you didn't make the first third of

play15:21

the entirety of your bloody presentation

play15:23

all about one of these games I mean cuz

play15:26

that would be really thick wouldn't it

play15:28

oh but the next game is so cute it's got

play15:33

mouses it's called winter burrow it's

play15:36

got an absolutely beautiful art style to

play15:38

it it's just so cute looking that I

play15:42

might punch the wall and then have a go

play15:44

on the game and then cry because the owl

play15:48

took her friend it's okay though people

play15:51

because it's on Game Pass next year next

play15:54

up we've got um a game called mixtape

play15:57

which kind of looks like it should be

play15:59

one of those like ' 80s teenage programs

play16:02

that you see on Netflix it looks all

play16:05

right it's not something that I think I

play16:06

would have a go on but I can see how

play16:09

that would appeal to um quite a few

play16:11

people but it's just not really

play16:12

something that I would be interested in

play16:14

does look pretty cool and obviously it

play16:16

has got a really good soundtrack to it

play16:18

but again not really like my cup of tea

play16:20

personally then we've got the Elder

play16:22

Scrolls Online again I love Skyrim but

play16:26

I'm not an online MMO type person for me

play16:30

yeah it it looks all right I won't be

play16:32

having a gar on it uh then we've got

play16:34

life is strange Double Exposure I've not

play16:38

had a go on the life is strange games

play16:40

before it looks like it's really

play16:42

interesting I like the art style I like

play16:45

the hopping between one reality and

play16:47

another I definitely think that I will

play16:51

potentially be looking at giving that

play16:53

one a go um when that comes out because

play16:56

it just looks like quite an interesting

play16:59

experience next up we've got a game

play17:01

called Mecha break now when the trailer

play17:03

first started for that I thought oh

play17:05

Transformers then quickly realized I had

play17:08

that completely wrong but it is a Mech

play17:10

game so I wasn't entirely wrong but

play17:13

again like I feel like that's something

play17:15

that when I was younger I was too young

play17:18

for proper Transformers and then I was

play17:21

too old for like it's Resurgence so it

play17:24

doesn't appeal to me but I know loads of

play17:26

people who will be bang on that um and

play17:29

then they had Indiana Jones now this was

play17:32

quite interesting because I haven't

play17:34

watched the Indiana Jones movies but

play17:35

this game looks brilliant looks like

play17:38

it's going to be really really good fun

play17:39

so I actually think I will play that

play17:42

game like I've never like been

play17:44

particularly interested in in in Indiana

play17:46

Jones before definitely want to give

play17:48

that one a go like this trailer looks

play17:50

fantastic for it if it turns out that

play17:52

this is quite true to the movies maybe I

play17:55

don't know maybe I should give them a

play17:56

watch it's like pretty Epic that's like

play17:59

saying oh I've never seen Star Wars

play18:01

before or saying like oh I've never

play18:02

watched the proper Jurassic Park before

play18:04

it's kind of crazy isn't it then we had

play18:07

a game called Wu Chang Fallen feathers

play18:11

and I thought oh here we go we've now

play18:13

got one of our feudal China feudal Japan

play18:17

Feud feudal China on this one I think

play18:20

and I love that type of aesthetic but my

play18:22

God this one looks like a scary game

play18:26

does look scary I think it's one of

play18:28

those games that I would like to have a

play18:30

go at it but I think I will have to

play18:33

psych myself up for it it's not like on

play18:38

Playstation state of play where every

play18:40

other game was feudal East Asia this is

play18:44

like the first one so we'll see we'll

play18:46

see next up is the Val uh very colorful

play18:50

looks very interesting seems to have an

play18:52

interesting story line um it is a

play18:54

storyline trailer so there's only

play18:57

limited amounts of gameplay in it but

play18:59

from the gaml that I can see it's it

play19:01

looks quite fun I do think this is

play19:04

something that I would like to have a go

play19:05

on um when it comes out again I I'm a

play19:08

bit of a sucker for that kind of game I

play19:10

do enjoy them again with an incentive

play19:12

like Play Day One on Game Pass you can't

play19:14

really complain at that can you then

play19:16

avow is immediately followed by

play19:20

quintessential British Countryside that

play19:24

looks like the

play19:26

cotw that is so

play19:29

proper rural British Countryside like oh

play19:33

my God the game is called atom fall and

play19:36

it almost looks like it's like Fallout

play19:39

but set in England somehow and like a

play19:41

little bit more second world war it

play19:44

looks absolutely brilliant I am

play19:47

definitely going to be having a go on

play19:49

that that looks fantastic stalker 2

play19:52

heart of Chernobyl looks sick it looks

play19:57

absolutely bloody brilliant it says on

play20:01

the game trailer that it's actually been

play20:03

made in the Ukraine like how recently

play20:06

like still being made in the Ukraine

play20:08

like I don't really know what's going on

play20:10

over there at the moment so so if that's

play20:12

actually been created with all of the

play20:14

problems that are happening over there

play20:16

at the moment like that blows my mind

play20:19

with all of that going on around them

play20:20

and they can create something like this

play20:22

again it looks so good I absolutely

play20:25

definitely want to play that at at the

play20:27

earliest possible opportunity so the

play20:30

game looks like you're in the middle of

play20:31

a war but there's all of these

play20:32

Supernatural elements going on as well

play20:34

so it looks super intriguing next you

play20:36

have Sarah Bond talking about some

play20:38

updates to the X and S consoles um I'm

play20:42

pretty happy with the console that I've

play20:43

got I'm not going to be rushing out to

play20:44

buy the updated version but still that's

play20:46

nice for people that are interested in

play20:48

that sort of thing and last but not

play20:51

least we have Gears of War eay again

play20:54

it's a story trailer and it's Gears of

play20:56

War so I think that's going to go down

play20:58

quite well I am probably a bit too

play21:01

chicken to play the Gears of War games I

play21:03

don't know my brother-in-law used to

play21:04

like playing them so I'd have to see I'd

play21:06

have to see I think it looks pretty cool

play21:08

from the trailer I'm not sure if it's

play21:10

one I want someone else play it but it's

play21:13

um it looks pretty awesome I thought it

play21:16

was a very good show the presentation

play21:18

was significantly better than the

play21:20

PlayStation state of play first of all

play21:22

it was a much longer presentation

play21:24

secondly it also had Call of Duty

play21:27

presentation right at the end of it so

play21:29

it had its own best spoke show um

play21:32

thirdly it had so much more variety

play21:35

there was a lot more variety in in games

play21:37

there was a lot more games they gave

play21:39

each game um much more time to breathe

play21:42

they didn't waste an entire third of the

play21:46

presentation on Zuma shooter bollocks

play21:49

I've got to say that I do think that

play21:52

they've they've knocked out of the park

play21:53

with this one I will say though that

play21:55

they haven't made anything that I think

play21:58

think can challenge astrobot like

play22:01

astrobot was pretty much the only thing

play22:04

on stay to play that really stood out to

play22:07

me on this one I thought maybe they

play22:09

could have done with a few more cute

play22:10

games they have um winter burrow which

play22:13

looks really really really sweet but

play22:15

it's not really a game for kids at all

play22:18

that it looks like it might be a bit

play22:19

scary for children to play the owl um

play22:23

astrobot was that's that's going to be

play22:26

fun for everybody but astrobot alone is

play22:28

not enough to rescue PlayStation from

play22:31

this I think Xbox have really really

play22:35

really delivered where PlayStation

play22:38

haven't it's so much more consumer

play22:40

friendly yes overall I think it was

play22:42

great I'm really happy with it I'm

play22:44

really really happy with some of the

play22:46

announcements I I I think that

play22:48

PlayStation really need to take a look

play22:50

at this and think about their game plan

play22:53

going forward this could be their

play22:55

undoing this could knock them off their

play22:56

top spot and this could give Xbox some

play23:00

much needed boost that they really

play23:02

really needed like they needed this to

play23:04

deliver and I really think it has and if
