RE: Summer Game Fest 2023 Megathread | Xbox Games Showcase Summary - ShiraNoMai - Jun 18th, 2023

I enjoy that it has it's own theme song XD Genuinely looks entertaining and I love all the little touches of thought put into it (i.e. gun recoil being a mechanic)

RE: Summer Game Fest 2023 Megathread | Xbox Games Showcase Summary - Moonface - Jun 30th, 2023

I forgot that Wayfinder is from the studio a good friend of mine and @ShiraNoMai works for, and is right now the person who's wedding I am a groomsman for and currently partaking in their bachelor party. XD
Just wanted to share that fun fact again in here because they brought up how SGF annoyingly labeled their game as Fortnite by mistake during the presentation. LOL

Limited Run Games Showcase 2023 | Summary
Despite happening yesterday and not officially part of Summer Game Fest, since this thread is a general hub thread for any summer gaming conferences I feel it would be better to put a summary of this showcase here rather than General Game Chat.

RE: Summer Game Fest 2023 Megathread | Xbox Games Showcase Summary - Moonface - Jul 13th, 2023

I didn't know there was a Limited Run showcase happening yesterday until a few hours after it aired and I saw news of the Gex Trilogy announcement. Figured I'd just do a summary for it just to make it easy for anyone interested to see what else they had to show off.

I'm super interested in Tomba and Gex Trilogy, since I only ever got to play a demo of Tomba as a kid but always found it neat, and I liked Gex 3 a lot as a kid too. Not sure if I'll actually get either of the games (I'd only do it digitally I think) since I'll need to look into them more to see if they've aged well or not. XD

Other than those, I found the Shantae announcement to be really neat just because that was a cancelled game and having anything like that ever actually see the light of day in a finished state is almost unheard of, so I can appreciate the effort going into that if nothing else. ^_^

RE: Summer Game Fest 2023 Megathread | LRG3 Showcase Summary - Mr EliteL - Jul 13th, 2023

Good to see Tomba and Gex come back in some form, even if it's a re-release of the old games for the latter's case. I also played demos of them, may have borrowed them from an old store that lent out games and such. If I did, can't remember how far I got, or was just the demos.

RE: Summer Game Fest 2023 Megathread | LRG3 Showcase Summary - Moonface - Jul 13th, 2023

Something super notable about the Gex and Tomba games being re-released on modern consoles is that the engine they're using, Carbon, was until now only capable of running games pre-5th Gen. The fact it can now run PS1 games means there might be a lot more older games from that generation that get brought to modern consoles through LRG.
