I was honored to put the phantom blade showcase together for cruel man studios. It’s an insane amount of animation work blended together to create cinematic choreographed looking combat.

[MunchingOrange]

Who is this Frank guy and why do you want to be him so bad? 😂

Jokes aside, that Spider-Man trailer had me hooked, felt like I was actually playing it. Can't wait!

[ethan]

Phantom Blade was definitely the best new game shown imo. If the gameplay is half as fun as it looks then this will be amazing

[DefinitelyNotBender]

Alan Wake 2 actually giving a release date is huge. That means it’s actually really coming out finally. And Dragons Dogma 2 was great to see.

[rooster]

I ain't gonna lie to y'all when they showed Dragon's Dogma 2 I straight up teared up, I'm such a big fan of the original and finally getting a sequel after so long felt good, super stoked for that one

[torishadow]

Man, when I see such cool concepts just to hear the game is a competitive FPS or an extraction shooter, I just make the biggest groan of all time.

[tmack]

Saw Dragons Dogma 2 announced at work and shed a tear. Thank you Capcom 💯

[WhatchaGotSay]

This was a great showcase. Some people are throwing unnecessary hate at it but they showed some very interesting looking games - like Phantom Blade 😲

[mattf]

Journey was so transcendent. What an amazing experience. You can't even call it just a game.

[htogr]

Alan Wake 2 release date announcement means everything to me. Can't wait.

[DroosterH]

My favourite aspect of the original Helldivers was that, overall, you were trying to avoid combat (unless there was a combat specific objective). You just dived in, got the jobs done, then got the hell out.
I really hope Helldivers II leans in to that.

[yourboyconnor]

New party game. Take a drink every time Falcon says 'to be frank'. 🤣

[electrolytes]

That Metal Gear Solid reveal was the biggest shock to me. Welcome back !

[Xograch]

Spiderman 2 way of fighting reminds me of prototype, nice to see that honestly. Also Phantom Blade 0 looks amazing really looking forward to that game. Dragons dogma 2 and a remake of MGS What a treat

[logixindie]

Talos Principle 2 was the biggest surprise, I never expected a sequel.

[tm]

Falcon must of lost a bet and had to say to be frank 1000 times .

[alwaysalonesoki]

1. Dragon’s Dogma 2
2. MGS
3. Phantom Blade 0
4. Granblue Fantasy: Relink
5. Tower of Fantasy

This is a proper top 5

[qizeaqfile]

The biggest surprise for me is how surprisingly disappointed people are about the showcase. There's more than 5 games that I really exited to play and for me, that's a lot.

[JDMStav]

I loved the fact that even though I had no idea they were showing off DD2, I knew it was DD2 the second the trailer started. Masterwork
