Another part of the teaser - 

Gears looks better than its ever had.



Around the Network

"Tested" some more games and will give an early impression:

Pro Evolution Soccer 2015:
Most of you probably won't care. I know PES2016 is supposed to be much better and honestly, it certainly has to to stay competitive. Only played one match so the comparison is not quite fair, but thus far this isn't even close to any recent FIFA.
Graphics are unimpressive and the resolution seems very low. So many teams are missing due to not owning the licenses. This has always been a big problem of PES though. Still have to tweak a few gameplay and tactics settings, before I make a final judgement.

Beyond Eyes:
Loved by many during E3, but after playing it, it's rather tedious. I understand that the girl is blind and therefore doesn't move fast, but there are simply things that don't convert well into gameplay and this is one of them. When you move so slowly and the worlds are rather empty, it's just not fun. The game is only 2-3 hours long, so with a normal walking mode (not even running) the game would probably be less than 2 hours.

Kameo:
Big thanks to Ryuu for the code. So far I really like the game. Obviously it's quite dated since it was a 360 launch game, but if I was a day one console owner, this would've been a great start. Had some problem with the controls at first as pretty much all the main buttons just swap your characters, but I'm getting used to it.

Baseball Riot:
Basically what you expect from a mobile port. There's a lot of trial and error involved and even the slightest change in direction will result in a different outcome. Therefore it's hard to recreate a shot. Still quite fun though if played in short bursts.

The LEGO Movie Video Game:
Surprisingly good. Very close to the movie with some scenes taken directly from it. It's still a typical LEGO game, but there are less situations where you don't have a clue what to do, so that's certainly an improvement.

Lords of the Fallen:
I'm no Dark Sould fan but whatever it was free. Performance-wise I'm a bit dissappointed. Didn't run that smoothly in the first level of the game. Only killed the first guardian, so I'm not far at all but it was all right. Didn't encounter any traps or cheap deaths so far, so I'm not mad just yet.

Murdered: Soul Suspect:
So far quite good, but also feels more like a Telltale kinda game, where story comes first and gameplay is only secondary. I don't always agree with the selection of clues for certain questions though. I think some others would fit better, but you have to select the ones that the game thinks are right.



looks like I killed the thread
Trying to revive it again.

Played a big chunk of Minecraft lately to get some more achievements and to my surprise I might even be able to 100% it. Always thought it would take too long or that I would never be able to kill the bosses, since I never did much, if any, combat.
A shame though that I still need the 100 (in-game) days achievement. Already had that on 360 :(
Crazy how much all the updates change the game. Will certainly come back to it when they release the next big update that will add new achievements. Looks like they will do that each time there's a new boss.



I have an alan wake American nightmare code if anyone is interested?

I'd gladly take it if no one else is interested. Completed Alan Wake and its DLCs and enjoyed it very much, but never played American Nightmare.

Did you get it for pre-ordering QB? 



I have mixed reactions about the new trailer. I'll decide if I'm going to get the new gears when i get my hands on that beta next week.



That trailer is awesome.



I hope that they don't show new Campaign gameplay until E3, there is no reason to blow their load this early Gears 4 is their biggest title for 2016.



Trailer gave me all types of feels. Reminds me of the Gears 1 trailer.
