Sheesh, I kinda hope something of this was lost in translation, considering this is machine-translated, because if not then this is one of the most drama queen-ish rants I ever heard from a gaming dev. I really understand being disappointed when you lose at something major but this man is going too far.
I played BMW and while not my cup of tea (far as action RPGs goes) it really is a good game and as others before me have pointed out it managed to, among other achievements, win several other awards. If Feng Ji wanted people to see him and the Game Science company in a mature and positive light after this loss then he really blew it with this act.
And frankly the part about having already written his victory speech two years ago alone really says something...π€¦ββοΈ
Indeed. I don't consider Superstars the worst Sonic game ever but its definitely one of, if not the weakest title in recent years and in the current Sonic era.
I was slighty interested until I noticed it is live service, urgh... Oh well I might as well try the game for a bit anyway (since I respect the devs behind this) whenever its available.
I'm guessing CrossWorlds refers to either crossover with other Sega franchises again (this I would like) or just characters from other Sonic media (mainly IDW, Prime and the movies), the latter would be boring imo.
I also noticed that this game is being developed by Sega Hardlight instead of Sumo Digital like the previous racing games since Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. Most likely because Sumo Digital was bought by Tencent.
Wow Tifa, you sure look different.π
Seriously though I don't mind being wrong in this case (well half-wrong anyway since its still Final Fantasy), as I'm quite neutral on any potential FF guests for Tekken really, so I'm fine.
Instead, I'm now suddenly imagining a scene reminiscent of the White House incident where loads of Tifa fans are trying to storm into Harada's home.π
Yeah, ever since Bamco confirmed there wouldn't be a reveal of the last season 1 fighter at the TWT finals I figured they were not only saving it for the TGA but also that the character in question is undoubtedly Tifa.
Far as guests for TK8 goes I almost can't imagine the first one being anyone else but her, unless they intent to mind[beep] us by adding either someone "infamous" (I have heard people half-joking about TLoU's Abby) or a non-VG (but still famous and likely more known) character instead.
The only times I pretty much watch anyone else play games is either through preview videos (of upcoming or available games that I want to play) or walkthroughs of "old stuff" (mainly games between early '1990s and late 2000s).
Thanks for the video Sony. It would have been nice seeing Spyro (Reignited Trilogy) in here as well, I almost expected it for a few seconds since we got Crash (N. Sane Trilogy). Say what you want about Crash and Spyro nowadays but those two's initial strong connection with PlayStation cannot be denied.
Moving on, I liked seeing Sly in there, even if it was for just one second. Its better then nothing.
Sad news (considering he is one of the few, if not the only one of the "old guard" members Sony had left), but after 31 years at the company its understandable. I will miss this good man and wish him all the best.π«‘
The acquisition makes sense for both parties, sure, but I'm still more concerned of Sonyβs plans and handling of the anime & manga side of it all then anything video game-related tbh.
I wouldn't call a purchase of Kadokawa, one of the world's big (if not the biggest) anime/manga/light novels companies, a 'smaller scale'. I get your point otherwise though.
They should honestly just get ChaosX (Project '06 creator) on board. I don't trust Sonic Team to handle a Sonic '06 remake internally all by themselves.
@N8tiveT3ch: I know you were joking but I would be genuinely intrigued to see Sakurai's take on PASBR. Too bad Nintendo wouldn't let him do anything of the sort.

Not so interested in the game but happy for Ben. He is a very good VA and has a nice personality, as well as a funny sense of humor.π

Re: PlayStation Thanks the Fans with Emotional 30th Anniversary Montage

Less nice that all of this is limited time, shock. >_>
Re: Sony Brings Back Iconic PS1 Startup Screen on PS5, But Only for a Limited Time
The PS1 boot sound is a timeless classic, it shouldn't be a limited time for the PS5 imo.
Re: Shuhei Yoshida's Resignation Prompts Massive Outpouring of Love for PlayStation Legend
Wonderful messages here, all of them.
Also I completely forgot about both Yoshida's appearance in Super Time Force Ultra and the game itself. I need to play that game again.
Re: Rumour: Mortal Kombat 1's Future DLC Cancelled After Poor Sales of Khaos Reigns
Not shocked at all. Gameplay is pretty good imo but outside of that MK12 (MK1) is just a disappointment in almost everything else.
I'll just stick with MK9, 10/X, and 11 right now. In the meantime NRS should just work on Injustice 3 if they're not on it already.
Re: PlayStation Exec Shuhei Yoshida Will Leave the Company in January
