"Every time... we added more exposition, and we tried to explain ourselves a little bit more, or we tried to lead the audience by the nose... it never felt right." "Ruthless efficiency -- that was the motto. Say everything with as little as you possibly can. If you don't care, just don't even look at it." "...we never really wanted to go out of first-person. We didn't want to do third-person cutscenes and all that kind of stuff." "...and then when [Hayden] comes in, delivers the exposition, the rules, like 'let's talk, I'm gonna give you orders and you're gonna go push buttons', and [the Doom Slayer] just throws it away." "It's a pretty bold decision to say 'we're gonna start some exposition like every other game does and like every player expects, and then we're just gonna throw it away.' Literally, we're gonna grab it and we're gonna throw it aside." "But that notion of respecting the audience enough to say 'you're here for a purpose' ... we're throwing the story straight out. You're here to kill demons, so go kill demons."

The most painful thing about this is that Phil Spencer and the team were there probably praising Tango to the moon and celebrating Hi-Fi Rush and saying how much they love it. Only to suddenly shut down the entire studio less than 8 months later. It feels so cruel. 😞
Capcom president says its recent success is thanks to a move from individual-led to team-led development Haruhiro Tsujimoto says Capcom’s series are no longer tied to a single creator’s ideas
Gears E-Day - New freedom of motion looks cool. Still bummed they've given up on moving the storyline forward. Lol at the console exclusivity announcement. Halo Campaign Evolved - Hard to be excited when I strongly suspect they built this with GenAI after all of Infinite's art leads were let go. I'll probably still play it, I guess! Persona(s) - Got no interest in these, but curious they were the only major third-party Game Pass titles announced. Signs of a shift in strategy? State of Decay 3 - Man I wanna get my hopes up, but the years of development hell + toxic workplace culture doesn't inspire confidence. At least it wasn't cancelled! Bad Magpie - Giving Goose Game x Little Kitty Big City vibes. I'm here for it. Senua - Oh so Ninja Theory is back to making actual video games now and not just interactive cutscenes like Hellblade II? Sign me up! Xbox Series X25 - Anniversary edition of a dead console that no one will be able to afford. Couldn't have picked a more apt metaphor for Xbox's hardware business. Vivarium - Gorgeous art style. Definitely want a better sense of what the gameplay loop will be, but it's caught my attention for sure. Spyro A Realm Beyond - The whole fucking point of this franchise is that the titular dragon *can't* fly. It's what makes it a platformer! What are we doing here?! Clockwork Revolution - I still have no idea what this game is! Lol someone on this team please make a gameplay comp so I know what I will actually be playing!!
RE Veronica - Kind of insane how fast Capcom is pumping RE games out, they're gonna run out of stuff to remake pretty soon! Alien Isolation 2 - Almost nothing to show here, but I'll be there day one regardless Gen Atlas and Haex - Both giving cool vibes but a bunch of fake footage w/ tiny snippets of gameplay b/w them doesn't give me anything to go on Stranger Than Heaven - The Tupac necromancy is fucking disgusting and Snoop Dogg is a fascist collaborator, Sega and Hiroyuki Sakamoto can go fuck themselves Black Flag Resynced - First played the original in 2020. Don't feel the need to go back to this but it definitely looks pretty Crossfire - A new game that definitely won't be delisted in a couple years like the last two times they tried to sell this franchise outside of Asia lol Control Resonant - Skipped this trailer because I'm already sold on this game and I don't need any more spoilers Star Wars Galactic Racer, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush, and Clutch - Burnout Revenge, Burnout Paradise, and Need for Speed all back and EA is making none of them lol End of Abyss - Giving me Inside meets OG RE vibes, I kinda dig it Stellar Blade Blood Rain - That is very clearly a child's face on a character w/ a skin tight suit and breast jiggle physics, you people are fucking sick, seek professional help
