Going to basically do the same thing I did with the Playstation showcase and do a best of thread where several games go against each other each day and then for the last 4 days the winning games from the previous days will all be up against each other. I did randomize these games again, so please don't blame me if some days come off stronger than others. Instead of doing it the way I did last time though, I'll do a new thread each day so that we don't lose the previous polls.

Hellblade 2 and Fable I want to see a lot more of, but Towerborne seems like it's flying under the radar for many. You can tell Stoic Studio was founded by ex-BioWare devs from that studios glory days with The Banner Saga Trilogy. So I'm really looking forward to seeing their take of Action RPG meets side-scrolling beat em up. Game has a lot of potential and could be a lot of fun.

Basically my thoughts. If we are judging by purely what is shown at the showcase, Hellblade and Fable left a lot to be desired for me, Towerborne really looked like fun out of all those shown. 



Fable. Even though it didn't show much gameplay, it was all in-game and I still see people calling it CGI. It has the charm and humor of Fable, while Playground is putting their own spin on it. I'm hyped.



Idk, I really wanted to see more of Fable. I know the game is 2+ years out (which in itself pains me). Clockwork Revolution looked amazing (Bioshock vibes for sure), and Atlus/Sega had quite a big showing here Metaphor ReFantazio and Persona 3 Reload; both are absolutely day-one buys. Not to sleep on Persona 5 Tactica, it looked pretty cool in its own right but is definitely overshadowed by the other big Atlus games. Obviously, the biggest game there Starfield looked freaking phenomenal and I'm ready to store my sammiches with style. Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty looks freaking amazing, Avowed looked solid, Forza Motorsport is looking good, and Kunitsu from Capcom looked interesting too. Honestly, if you're a console player and a fan of WRPG's... Xbox easily makes the case that it's the platform you should be on (Starfield, Avowed, Fable, Clockwork Revolution, and obviously future entries in TES series and Fallout).

Hellblade 2 was kind of eh, I wanted to see proper gameplay so I'm actually a bit worried that the combat in Hellblade 2 isn't going to be expanded upon by much from the first game. South of Midnight could be interesting but the trailer didn't really tell us much about the game.

Yeah, Hellblade didn't show gameplay was insane, idk how they keep getting away with not showing gameplay. Guessing the game has none. 33 immortals, lol doubt xbox fans can pull 33 people to play anything together. Fable, youtube dislike bar says it all, not a good look tbh. Star wars was probs the only good trailer. Towerborne is their GaaS with regular updates, so no thanks. Not gonna comment on indies lol!!! Metaphor and persona on PS too. And we all know ESO is the poor man's ff 14, LOL. 



 Metaphor

Persona 3

Path of the Goddess

Like a Dragon 8 only games I am interested in and they are multiplatform.

 

The metaphor I am most interested in tho. it can be both a Persona and SMT without having the in-universe rules and restrictions of those games. They can experiment more and that has me excited. I have played many of the SMT games and spinoffs so this should be awesome.

Path o the Goddess I get kinda Otogi vibes and that's a great thing. Something original looking. Unique art. In a world where most games look like the exact same thing these days, this stood out.

Persona 3. I like the Persona games but have not played 3. Just 4G and both Vanilla and Royal of P5 plus Strikers.

LaD. It's more Yakuza so of course I am there...if there is a physical.

Realy!? Maybe a mixed Xbox press. With the gameplay video of Star Wars. My bad If this is the case...

Anyway, on this list, persona 3 re. Is the Winner.
