Nice, I don’t know anything about these titles. But hoping they’ll be worth the watch.

Xbox Partner Preview.
Xbox games that will be released on partner consoles including the Nintendo Switch and the PlayStation 5.

Asplundh85d ago

That should be pretty obvious, but then again there are some people who end up believing these are exclusive.

neomahi85d ago

Sounds familiar doesn't it? Xbox has never been creative or innovative

FinalFantasyFanatic84d ago

I normally just watch these so that I can add anything that interests me to my Steam wishlist.

Watch out for The First Berserker: Khazan. It looks really cool. It was first shown in TGA 2023.

Pretty cool as well that we'll get know more about Capcom's new IP Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.

I wonder which games they are going to announce for the PS5 and Android.

Lightning7785d ago

Seeing how it's a partner preview which I means 3rd party. It's safe to assume all be on PS.

RaidenBlack84d ago

they do ... many State of Play(s) are 3rd party focused

jznrpg85d ago

The 3 games listed are multiplats.
I actually looked up the Tales of Kanzera:Zau a month or so ago because I thought it could be an actual Tales of game but I was very disappointed to find out it is an indie game being published by EA and not an actual Tales of game. Gameplay looks ok but I don’t like the art style. It looks a lot like the recent Prince of Persia game.

FinalFantasyFanatic84d ago

I think we're overdue for a new Tales game, I know Tales of Arise isn't that old, but it feels like it's been forever.

That's great news. Hopefully the Coalition can smooth some of those edges from the last Avowed reveal.

phoenixwing9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you. I was ok with it and hoping to actually play it sometime soon. Now it's like 99% chance it's delayed.
Edit: effing graphics whores

"Well I'm annoyed. Especially at all the ppl who said the graphics sucked. It's your fault they probably shifted the game to unreal so it could look more fancy for you."

What the hell are you talking about dude? Avowed was already in development using the UE5. The Coalition is just helping Obsidian in the transition to its latest version (5.3)

Fishy Fingers38m ago

It already was Unreal 5, its just moving to the latest build.

Lightning779h ago

Apparently the latest build looks way better graphically. This rumor from Jez Cordin (who's credible) pretty much confirms it.

Interested in seeing more on Avowed in a few weeks.

Steam Account Transfer Via Will on Death is Not Permitted, Valve Confirms

In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.

anast18h ago

The games are theirs. People just pay to ride the ride.

Skuletor1h ago

Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway

Kornholic1h ago

This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.

So where is the outcry?

Skuletor1h ago

It's not like PlayStation is doing any different.

"You may not sell, buy, trade, or transfer your Online ID, Account or any personal access to PSN Services through any means or method, including by use of web sites."

NotoriousWhiz1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

It's not like your account just stops working when you die. Include your email, account id, and password in the will (including the password to your email) and your survivors should have no problem using your games.

thorstein35m ago

So just give your progeny the passwords.

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Terry_B15h ago

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

just_looken1h ago

They were different because they went from being a port studio with there last port being the god awful saints row 2 pc port to making the witcher one.

The first witcher was there first actual game with there own engine the 3rd one showed there years of experience/in house engine improvements.

This witcher game has very very few of the original people behind it and its using unreal engine like so many other games.

The big elephant in the room is that they are now proudly esg supports and go to a panel of esg reps to approve there games now.

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The is cdpr 2020's not the 2010's cdpr we used to know.

https://www.gamesradar.com/...

Take the blood/sex/nudity/adult humor/combat system/rpg mechanics/writing/story charecters/art/design and there passion/drive from the first 3 games throw it in the fucking trash there now you got what they have right now for the witcher 4.

New engine new writing team new everything even esg leadership so yeah "Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3"

Sonic188110m ago(Edited 10m ago)

This doesn't sound good without the original team

Kaii15h ago

My only issue with 3 was with the combat

bRuud833h ago

Combat was never the strongest part of the series.

just_looken1h ago

True but anyone that thinks witcher 3 2.0 combat is bad would never get past the first section of witcher one.

Profchaos3h ago

I felt 3 was ok took a long for it to click but I tried 2 and I found combat controls to be my biggest barrier to actually enjoying it was about 50 times clunkier than 3

thorstein1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I thought the weakest point was the copious amount of dialog. Sometimes less is more. I remember clicking through just to get to the objective.

outsider16241h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Compared to W1, W3 feels like a masterpiece in combat..lol.

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

Hugodastrevas4h ago

This can either go very well or very badly. I hope the latter.

just_looken1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

That is on your mobile device they copied pokemon go few years back

It was such a flop they removed the videos and removed the link to that article but its still on there servers.
