It was an interesting trailer, but it's an Annapurna game, so 95% chance it'll be an EGS exclusive. Nearly every new game they've put out - Ashen, Outer Wilds, the PC Journey port, are all EGS games. Meh.

It almost certainly isn't. I honestly, don't know why these consoles are talking about 8k.
They do sell them, but they're insanely expensive and not much media actually supports them yet. Gaming monitors have had the same issues lately with the processing technology not actually catching up with the types of displays being put out.
I know they exist but I kind of question whether that's actually a better technology. The issue with resolutions after a certain point is pixel density right?
There's an interview about the game. It's going to have character customization, fromsoftware combat difficulty, bosses and open world confirmed. And some info about the collaboration.

I've heard some good things - though I'm really the wrong person to judge, as I hate that kind of turn-based combat system
FPS hasn't even been a selling point for consoles until this generation's revisions maybe. I guess with 100 inch 8K televisions existing, they think absurd resolution capability is as much of a selling point as other things. Which is fine I guess, if it's doable. Don't really know the math on being able to run games at 8k at even 30fps, but certain console games will even go below 30fps already at points as well even below 4K resolutions... so idk
I was interested in Deathloop, Arkane's new game. I'm a bit confused as to whether it's a multiplayer game or not, which is somewhat disappointing given their history of making good singleplayer games.
I guess "finishing" games post release is still better than not finishing them at all. Wonder if Bioware will ever get around to doing that for Anthem, which got all of 2 minutes during EA Play.I wanted it for the Switch but physical copies were all sold out. I'm curious about it for PC, but it's a joke that they're charging $60 for it. Everything I've seen suggests that it's not worth the full AAA price.

I guess they could be saving it for Gamescom. But since there are hints in other Ubisoft games regarding the next one, you'd think they'd have something to show.
Got to love the irony of giving out a free DLC tie-in to a game you can't even buy on the platform you're playing it on.
Everyone does kind of know what's coming. It's just a matter of when. Still I hope they are giving it maximum time required. Because, while I'm not an Assassin's Creed guy, if that franchise becomes Witcher-esque in terms of story quality and depth. I will change my tune real fast. Even if they keep the dumb overarching story.
Yeah, that's awkward. Still free is free. And it's on steam so it feels a little like an olive branch.Got to love the irony of giving out a free DLC tie-in to a game you can't even buy on the platform you're playing it on.
Haven't the games kind of already been like that since Origins? I remember people remarking on them clearly trying to take advantage of Witcher's success when they took time off after Syndicate's failure and relaunched it. There's no modern component to the story anymore since then either iirc.
I mean, I'm not sure I see it that way. Free is free, but it's a bit of a cynical move on their part IMO. But I guess trying to get people to pay for BL2 again on EGS just to play it doesn't make much sense either.
They are getting closer. At it's core it's Odessy was still an "Ubisoft Game" and I'm hoping they can get past that. They played with things like love interests and player agency and playing more of a "role" in story in a different way the they typical action stealth game way.
The Epic Games deal is signed. There's no going back on that 6 months of exclusivity on PC. However, they could have charged for this. I would have paid $15 to play it. Instead they are giving it away to get some positive buzz for Borderlands 3. And I think they'll get it.
