  • We recorded this week's episode live, immediately after Xbox's Developer Direct. And we loved that Direct! Indiana Jones and the Great Circle had a fantastic reveal (it's FIRST-PERSON!) and reminded us of the original Xbox classic The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay, Hellblade 2 looked incredible and we finally got the long-awaited release date, Avowed had gorgeous settings and meaningful character choices but didn't quite wow us in the combat department, and Visions of Mana showed up as a secret and unexpected game. Enjoy our reactions and recap!

      Eh, it was okay. Avowed looked kinda bad. Stiff animations, combat stuck in the 2010s. Mismatched dialogue with lips. Indiana Jones has the same animation problems. And it's third person. What a let down.

      Exactly. They're %100 committed to gamepass quantity with mediocre games filled. It's sad.

    Every year Xbox over promises and underdelivers.
    2024 is going to continue the proud trend for Xbox.
    Lets see how many of these will flop.

    Another Xbox show, another unlocked podcast singing its praises. Despite singing the praises of the last showcase and 90% of the games shown in the previous showcase failed. Or were average. Which considering what was riding on them last year, is pretty horrendous.
    But of course Ryan and the crew LOVED it all. Poor showcase again.
