Gonna be working on trying the challenges in TMNT while also playing the pleasant surprise that is Omori, both as a game so far and that it also shadow dropped on gamepass.

As a TMNT head and beat 'em up aficionado it's impossible to give this any less than a 9.

I feel like Shredder’s Revenge is going to eat this game’s lunch.

Oh. I was going to buy this on Switch.

Neat.

Silksong for sure

Bought physical on Switch, and played a good chunk of this with two friends this morning, game is an absolute triumph of a beat ‘em up.

Obsidian is definitely one of the best studios under Xbox. Them and Double Fine imo.

Cannot wait to see what the Outer Worlds 2 will be when it exists, and I’d love to see them work on Fallout again.

@NEStalgia Gotta push back if only a little to say 2012 did a lot more justice to some of the comic books storylines and characters, though not as faithfully as the 2003 cartoon did since the 2012 cartoon also brought in stuff from both previous cartoons and even the IDW comic in places.

I like 87 for nostalgia reasons and it was the right TMNTverse to go with for this game 100%, but my positive feelings for it are more of fondness for how silly and goofy it can get. And also for giving us Krang, Bebop & Rocksteady.

Best TMNT imo is still the IDW comic run, at least up until issue 100.

TMNT fanboy post over.

Tomorrow is going to be so fun with me and a group of buddies. Cannot wait!

Some very interesting looking games, can’t wait to try most of them.

Silksong is high key my most anticipated game right now so I’m gonna obviously say it looks like the best game here.

Echoing those saying give it to Obsidian. They did better with one Fallout game than Bethesda did with three Fallout games.

Time to reinstall RE2 then

Not only did they have gameplay, they had SILKSONG gameplay.

Ya can’t top that!

The PS3 stuff being streaming still irks me. If not for that or the lack of Shadow Hearts (for now…) I’d be all over this.

I'm betting the majority of them will be small or randomized, with a more reasonable and sane number, ballparking 8-12 being full on biomes/big open areas to explore.

Sorry, think I’ll pass on this game. Doesn’t look like my thing.

One of the more interesting games from the showcase for sure, definitely interested in trying it

@BartoxTharglod I rate them on the whole, multiplats included

@MiGke Well considering I’ll be playing them on Xbox yes, I do know they’re multiplat. But the presentation they were in was the State of Play, and those games excited me more than what Xbox showed today…and most of what excited me in that is also multiplat.

As someone with a Series X that is on the out with Playstation because they’d rather chase AAA blockbuster crap than make interesting games anymore, the State of Play WAS better. this presentation had a new Silksong trailer and Persona as the big ones for me, and some interesting looking indies I need to try for myself to judge. State of Play had Street Fighter 6, Callisto Protocol and Resident Evil 4 remake.

Just how it worked out.

@Kingleo31 They removed two. Both were calling out how smug PS players get about Persona being exclusive and this meltdown from them is hilarious to me. Let them sweat a little seeing a Persona game NOT being available on Playstation for a bit.

Boy, pushsquare is in full salt mode over this

@UltimateOtaku91 I highly doubt it’ll be in the next Nintendo Direct. For now, it’s announced for Xbox and this was an announcement in partnership with Xbox and anything beyond that is wishful thinking or speculation.

Silksong and Persona on gamepass was the highlight. Phil and co still sleeping at the wheel on Banjo though.

This and Silksong were the highlights tbh. P3P coming back is…weird. They really just need to remake 3 at this point.

I hope so. Would probably be the highlight of the whole showcase for me if it’s a full new game.

I’m guessing 86

TMNT is the definite highlight here, especially with that 6 player online co-op. Brilliant way to fill the hole Streets of Rage 4 left on Gamepass when it...well, left.

It also clears up how i'm buying the game with it being physical on Switch in the immediate future, and then digital on Xbox later down the road sometime before it leaves Gamepass.

Oh shell yes, I am playing this with my usual group so much with that 6 player online co-op and gamepass release!

Probably grabbing the $65 physical edition on Switch too!

This looks fantastic, big step up from V in terms of style and the Metro City exploration bits look interesting. Very glad this is coming to Xbox too, will definitely be getting it.

A bear and bird adventure please and thank you

It looks fun, definitely excited for this.

Gamepass or not, I’m buying it. Probably twice, digital on Xbox and Limited Run CE on Switch.

June 16th release would kick shell.

As a Sonic fan that has liked some of the titles that get a bad rap, I’m optimistic for this.

Don’t care either way, certainly not even before I’ve even seen the game.

This was one of my most anticipated releases on Xbox this year, but this delay is more than understandable. Good to hear the team and their families are safe.

I remember renting this and beating it over a weekend with a friend way back in 2006 when we were teenagers.

And what a weekend that was. Don’t think I need to relive it though, no desire to ever touch this game again.

Well I’m buying this. Huge TMNT fan.

@GuyinPA75 No, but if you actually think 95% of the indie games on Gamepass are NES level fodder then I stand by the point of you being reductive towards indies, same as anyone that thinks indies are inherently lesser than the big shiny blockbuster games.

@GuyinPA75 imagine being so reductive with indies that you claim stuff like Hades, Streets of Rage 4, Tunic, Death’s Door, Bug Fables, Art of Rally etc. are no better than NES games.

@BartoxTharglod A shame then, because they have a better idea on how to make a good and truly deep WRPG than BioWare or Bethesda.

I’d give it a B, but I’m also not one of those shallow minded folks that only care about AAA.

That’s a definite blow. Still undoubtedly the good move to make in the long term but this year is looking pretty barren in terms of marquee titles.

All the same though, I won’t be too bothered if good indies and AA games keep coming to Xbox and gamepass.

As always, a new Banjo-Kazooie game

I’m buying SoR4 before it leaves then. That game rules and I still like to play it.

@RevGaming I find that most AAA games are either open world game #5603 or third person action game with story focus #7314 with very little change between, where indies and AA games have a lot more variety from my experience, and I find the exploration, combat, and secrets upon secrets of Tunic very engaging.

It’s different strokes, but I wish people like you and Dezzy stopped pretending AAA is all that matters and that people who play gamepass MUST be fine with playing MTX games. That’s a shallow and binary assumption to make about people when AAA is not the only game in town.

@RevGaming I know why Sony shut Japan Studios down and I don’t care that it’s because they’re chasing after blockbusters, they alienated part of their audience and even if it’s a smaller part I’m under no obligation to let it slide. I think Sony and Jim Ryan going down this route is unfortunate, and I don’t intend to support it.

@RevGaming And those blockbuster games bore me. If you only care about big games fine, I think Psychonauts 2 put everything else that came out last year to shame personally.

I think getting lots of ‘AA’ games from a subscription model like gamepass is more compelling than dropping $70 on a game that looks and sounds nice with boring and shallow gameplay masked by glitz and glamor, and I wish when people actually talked about gamepass it wasn’t ‘they’re not doing what Sony does with movie games so they’re failing!’ Instead of looking how it actually appeals to people that maybe want to save their money on game buying or just don’t like or care about the big AAA market.

@RevGaming I’m going to say Unsighted and Tunic are more fun than Red Dead 2, which isn’t hard since that was an unfun tedious slog of a game to me. Yakuza is a far more compelling series to me than Titanfall, and Death’s Door completely buries it imo. Weird West has been fantastic.

When I say I love gamepass, it’s for these kinds of games. And all the people banging on about AAA or MTXs conveniently leave the hundreds of games like those on gamepass out of their equation, well people that care more about these kinds of games than Spider-Man or Last of Us do exist. Sony lost a lot of my attention when they shut Japan Studios down since they put out most of what I cared about from Sony in the last two gens.

@Dezzy70 So you still believe only the kinds of games you like matter, big AAA games which is only a fraction of the kinds of games released, and something I and many others don’t care about, will make or break a product that’s already meeting the expectations and success for Microsoft, and that if Series X consoles are still on the shelf where you live that they’re failing and need more of what YOU care about? Well at least you aren’t changing your tune but it’s still a short sighted and not well thought out tune.
