Parris: "Gotta give the Xbox Developer Direct an A+ all the games are must play and the Production team knocked this out of the park 10/10"

This feels unreal. Wow.

Damn Parris disabling Bsky embedding! 

Everyone talks about Halo, and rightfully so, but the likes of Ninja Gaiden, Fable, and Doom were games that got me to love the original Xbox so much! Throw in Indiana Jones giving me Chronicles of Riddick vibes to end 2024 putting me on the biggest nostalgia trip lol

Obsidian is showing off the Avowed character creator on Twitter using examples.

AND GOING OBLIVION-LIKE IS POSSIBLE!

GOTY CONFIRMED

This...This is Glorious.

More Normal Example

I havent watched the show but saw the announcements.

Happy about Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and Ninja Gaiden 4.

Hopefully in the future, we'll see a remaster of Ninja Gaiden 1 Black.

Doom Dark Ages PC Specs for 4K ULTRA - I have all the required specs except for the 4080 GPU - I have a 4070 SUPER so hopefully I'll be able to get close to 4K 60 FPS.

Shame nothing from SE/Final Fantasy. I guess it'll be around Summer Games Show time when we see if FFXVI comes to Xbox.

Gears Eday was a prediction and based on their marketing trend of showing Gears games one year ahead of release.

Oblivion is currently targeting June release. Fable remains on track for 2025.

Hey NateDrake when you predicted the number of games xbox would publish this year on the xbox predictions for the year, were the 2 Ninja Gaiden games accounted for there? If so fair enough, if not the number might actually be higher.

I still don't see Fable's 2025 release tbh. I know I've been wrong about this before (Ragnarok), but there's something about its development, the limited amount of info, the peculiar engine choice for an RPG, etc. etc. that suggests it'll be set aside for next year.

Oblivion Remake dropping the day of MS's press conference would be impressive.

Seeing the return of Ninja Gaiden makes me wish we could get the return of Otogi! Such an underrated Japanese action game series.

But I think FromSoft are rather busy these days

At this point, I'm actually more iffy on Outer Worlds 2 being in 2025 than Fable. Having 2 big RPGs to close out the year would be too much lol
