Avowed looks like a Rope Kid game. Pentiment was pretty small, so I just assumed he has been juggling multiple projects. Currently working on Avowed, and The Outer Worlds 2 I assume?

While Pentiment isn't the largest game he was the director of the game and looks like sole writer as well, I'd imagine that would of kept him pretty busy. Although yeah no idea what he's up to know. Possibly helping out with either of those two, although Obsidian seems to have quite a few different games going so there could be other projects he's working on. Grounded seem to just come out of nowhere so it's possible they have other announced titles in various stages of development as well.

That watch has got to be cheap as gently caress for being included in a $300 set.

It's probably one of those real cheap smartwatches you can't add apps to, just better made. They only cost $30 or so, but they aren't as fun

I'm a little disappointed that the black series S is likely to be the only hardware refresh this year. I know we are unlikely to get a Pro or physically smaller update anytime soon this cycle, but I was holding out hope for a 2TB series X, maybe without a disc drive for them to manage costs.

Im not normally into gimmick peripherals but that Starfield controller and headset look dope as gently caress.

bizarre to me they didnt just make series x 2TB at the same price point. There must be a lot of people buying the S?

Starfield looks really, really good. Like the combat looks at least as good as Cyberpunk, but with tacked on squadrons power management dog fighting in space. I am officially hyped.

Is starfield all realtime combat or are there rpg/vats type elements?

Fair, I only have a 4th gen Apple Watch, so I am not up to date on what to expect from watches.

They covered a lot of combat stuff in the Starfield Direct, so I would think if they were doing VATS or something like that it would have come up.

Re: hardware refreshes, that seems like kind of a waste when you have one decent console and one console that is basically running top-tier last gen hardware.

Lot of super rad games shown off, Avowed looking good and Starfield looked surprisingly like it makes sense? So many hints of other games, but in good ways.

Also as one of the many people who bought a Series S cause I got other things to spend the extra money on instead of worrying about grafics I am glad for my contribution to your annoyance :smug:

Same. My Series S was AU$400. The only places with the Series X wanted almost a grand. Not worth it. I know a lot of people with Series S' who love them. They're great lil boxes.
