Hoping that THQnordic announcement is a teaser trailer for Timesplitters since they just bought the IP.

Thanks for the thread, seems like most places aren't paying too much attention to Gnomescom this year so it's harder to get round-ups.

 

[Life of the Party]

Those places need Jesus.

Is it me or this way of advertising looks really bad? I don't see myself playing game where I'd constantly lose beceause of unknown factors. I don't like pretending to have clairvoyance.

It's just played that way for comedic value in the trailer. Ingame it's the exact opposite of what you described, you are actually aware of all the routes of your enemies, their cones of vision, the tools they can use... the trailer is just poking fun at all the savescumming that happens until you find that cool strategy that makes you succeed.

Gamescom opening ceremony:

[Wirdschowerdn]

I do hope Microsoft will announce Age of Empires: DE for Steam.

 

[Belegarsson]

MOAR!









Ubisoft's new game at Gamescom is a new The Settlers. God damn I miss this franchise.

Also, Gematsu just uploaded a bunch of gameplay videos for THQ Nordic's new games like Biomutant, JA Rage, Scarf, Fade to Silence and Desperados 3 if anyone's interested.
