South Of Midnight Documentary Shares Detailed Look At Xbox's 2025 Adventure

I’m seeing you can turn off the stop motion so it looks smooth like a normal game, is this true?

Swear if they are going to do a music and art box set and not a physical release for the game I’m gonna lose it.

I really like the look of this one.

Fingers crossed it turns out to be a better!

@TheGameThrifter
Yup, I was looking forward to this, but learning that Sweet Baby Inc has written the script, makes me slightly more reserved.
Thats not quite the death blow many woukd assume as they have done some good scripts imo, but Ive dialled back my enthusiasm a little. Still hope this turns out great.

@Titntin They haven't done any good scripts...Did you see the stuff they wrote in Suicide Squad and Forespoken? Sheesh....Not to mention they bullied Compulsion Games to switch the character from white to black or they would tell everyone they were racist.

@TheGameThrifter from what I've read, it's Sweet Baby Inc who's being bullied, harassed, threatened, etc.

@TheGameThrifter
I respectfully disagree.
They designed all characters and wrote the script for Sable, which was a fantastic title.
They also wrote a lot of script for AC Vallhalla, which again I had no issue with.
Don't let your hate blind you to truth, and the truth is they have done some good work as well as hugely objectionable stuff.

I am for sure playing this. As someone from the south. This has everything i am looking for to explore. I love the art work. Can’t wait to play it. Man Xbox in 2025 is going to be loaded. South of midnight, Avowed, Doom, Fable and of course another Call of Duty wow that is a stacked year.

I am looking forward to this one I also enjoyed we happy few

@HonestHick If only 1st party games in that quantity and quality had been released every yerar of the Series machines life Im sure things would look realy different in terms of futures.
Im not a doom or cod player, but if the others hit well, then Ill be glad to have kept the series X..

@MeanBeanEgg Wait you’re buying a game because SBI worked on it? Surely other reasons right?

@Titntin i mean i am sure they wished those games were ready sooner as well. They know having a dry year is tough on the platform. But they went out and acquired enough studios to make sure they have constant releases going forward. Now they do have to make sure those games are releasing in good condition of course. But if they do that then they have a solid roadmap that no one else can match the output.

@MeanBeanEgg Interesting. I’ve never considered buying a game based on who consulted on it.

@TheGameThrifter I dont need another list of their ills. I pointed out the simple truth of some games not being affected by the issues that are of such concern to you. I also clearly stated I had my own concerns about some of their influence on titles and some of their agendas on other titles.
Both those things can be true. The world is not black and white. They have done decent work before, and I hope thats what we get here...

@MeanBeanEgg You can? I never said you couldn’t. Lol. I simply said I’d not based a game buying decision on whether someone consulted on it.

@TheGameThrifter I'm conflicted when it comes to people such as yourself. On the one hand, I detest reading the inane ramblings of those who are convinced that there is some sort of woke agenda. But on the other hand, it does make the people worth blocking that much more conspicuous.

@HonestHick i am very excited about 2025 for Xbox as well fable probably being my most anticipated Xbox studio game

@TheGameThrifter your posts make you sound absolutely deranged.

This game looked interesting, but it never looked good. Loved how the music sounded though.

@Fishmasterflex96 my thoughts exactly 🤣

Wow, just wow! After watching this documentary my excitement levels have shot up higher than Homer Simpson's cholesterol level. Can not wait to play this, I find it absolutely gorgeous.

Edit: Are the moderators on sabbatical?

Well I guess the stop motion style will mask the UE5 stutters lol. Looks interesting for sure

@TheGameThrifter What a exhausting discourse for such a non-issue…

The real issue arises when people summon moderators just because they don't see eye to eye with someone's post.

I cannot wait for this game, it’s one of my most anticipated games of next year, so far. Everything I’ve seen about it so far looks great. I couldn’t care less about Sweet Baby being involved, I really wish people would get over them. Personally, if they were involved with swapping the main character from a white woman to a black woman, I think they made a smart move, it makes sense for the story and setting.

(Fun fact that’s coming from a white male… sorry, “woke” white male.) RAAARRRRRRR INCLUSION!

@Markatron84 They both attack each other. There are no good people in whatever argument the internet and SBI is having online.

@Titntin OMG, Sable was fantastic!

I'm not a fan of SBI in the slightest and because they've had more fails than wins I'm going to give most of the credit to Sable to the developers rather than anything SBI actually contributed to it. I doubt they were sitting around composing the music or coding the hover bike physics, or working on the gorgeous cell-shaded filter.

That being said, I'm super excited for South of Midnight but it won't be a day 1 buy for me though.

@Utena-mobile only one side attacks. The other defends.

@Markatron84 Sure

Anyways, to take this back to South of Midnight, I'm super happy that Ahmed Best is working on it. Seeing him in the documentary made me happier than I thought it would, and I hope he gets the chance to work on many more projects.

Oh boy these comments got passionate. I just want to see the combat improve. Her attacks looked and felt lifeless in the reveal gameplay.

Hoping that's been improved.

I don't like the fact that the main character has a very ‘Western trendy design’, but I like the stop-motion and the world view.

I hope it's an interesting game.

This one looks interesting I’ll def be giving it a shot idk what’s up with all the unhinged comments tho lol ppl need to lighten up

Oh, man. I missed all the drama. 🤣

Anyways, I'm slightly interested in this one, mainly because of the visuals. But that's not really the most important part of a game, so we'll have to wait and see more.

Insert Avengers “What the hell happened here” meme

@HonestHick Yes mate, the output looks great and xbox players will certainly have tons to look forward too next year.
This game now being my most anticipated, closeky followed by Avowed. Good times!

I have a question for the mods since my post was deleted again. Why don’t you just ban me at this point if you’re going to remove anything I say that you or another poster doesn’t like?

I did not attack or argue with anybody in this thread, I did not ‘discuss moderation’ until now. I like some of the community here but if you’re going to keep removing my posts I’d rather not be a part of it.

I came back to check and the echo chamber has returned. You guys will never learn and it’s great.

Definitely willing to give this one a try.
