@JP80 Yeah, same but only tried the demo, it has way to much fantasy cheese like characters, visual effects even the music these days compared to Tekken 1, 2, 3 or even up to 5, I suppose it could be a Japanese style type of thing like many other game's but it's just not for me now.
At this point people wanting to get into game development might as well just study/learn/develop mobile games in python with advertisements thrown in & hope for the best. It seems more viable then working for some of these profit driven companies.
Yup, these days I would happily have games that are a bit like Elden Ring in quality, not super graphical but more in depth and creative with gameplay that can be played longer for the price tag instead of what gets released today which can be completed in 30 hours (3days) for 70 beans, Nintendo do ok in that playing field but you know, people are conditioned now, believing that if it is not super graphically intensive it isn't good and it's trash, I had this debate with a friend recently, a super photorealistic looking game in the future will not appreciate over time compared to a game that people can just hop on and have a blast with whilst becoming a staple like Tetris or Pacman (for example), a good percentage of games are just the same now but it's all about the story, cinematics and some Hollywood movie stars voice acting the games now not the gameplay, that's another reason why I stated Elden Ring but hey this what happens when it becomes mainstream, not like when it was a niche for nerds & no one else like it was in the 80s & 90s but here we are now, I'm not going into that dogma.
I like to think that, with what is happening within the gaming industry recently is due to the fact that GTA6 & the Nintendo switch 2 is coming out soon, everyone is going to flock to that game and nothing else, it's really gonna hurt other studios especially if they have a set release date at the same time as GTA6 but that is one of many reasons, I can imagine they have it in mind though and they're getting prepared for the setback.
scrumdiddlyumptious, giving us those old backwards compatible games that Activision has locked away would be sweet, if they're not cloud based on the playstation side of things I will highly thank them for that.
Ridiculous behaviour, I think these people's mum's & dad's never moderated their internet usage when they was younger. An internet time out feature needs to be implemented ๐, especially on twitter.
Just seeing... "sorry, our servers are in maintenance mode" makes me look the other way, sorry but no thank you.
When I bought elder scrolls online awhile back I landed on a serve maintenance day, it wasn't a good start for a new experience, it was the first and definitely the last.
โThe only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don't mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don't think of original ideas, and they don't bring much culture into their products,โ
Oh well pawn shops it is then, a guy who runs one near me does prices near enough to cex, it is closer to me compared to where my local GAME shop is so it's not much of a loss.
Ridiculous, I like to imagine & explain who these types of people are but it would be a little harsh so all I am going to say its the "mentally special" that need to be constantly supervised.
With the way some companies (LG) are now coming out with dual high refresh OLED monitors at 240/480Hz, 4k/1080p, it would be great if Sony did a nice 32" 4k 144Hz OLED monitor compared to last year which was a 4k IPS panel 27" at 144 (INZONE M9) but plenty of Sony products don't come cheap compared to others so it's hit or miss.
I've come to realise over the years a good top quality call of duty product/game comes out when another game comes out like GTA/RDR or even a Bethesda game.
After watching the trailer it seems like they could be doing a Tekken 2/3 story in this game, a remake of Tekken 2 would be sweet but this might cure my fix.
But they know the product is absolutely garbage, with a short campaign with reused multiplayer/warzone maps, assets & sounds just for bobby and his hungry profit driven chums to devour people's pocket change on their way out after the new year.
With the show getting speedrun I'm guessing they had some tight, systematic coordinated security protocols this time especially after the previous shows, when looking they had guards on the main entrance/exit paths and they had the announcers/presenters stood at variable positions, obviously for the cameras but it didn't seem like this last year.
I reckon the views would be higher if the YouTube search feed for the "GTA 6 trailer" wasn't video's with people's mouths wide open doing cheap react videos for 10+ minutes, which is ridiculous I may say so.
Now with bungie under Sony's roof maybe Sony will have the excuse and mindshare to use the limited dlc that will be removed eventually even though player's have bought it.
Jeez, what a bland stale choice (vouchers, gift cards) but I suppose its whatever makes them happy and occupied with a smile on their faces (whilst cooking the Christmas dinner eyy ๐), I used to get for christmas, from my grandmother, was some low grade cheap Genesis, NES, PS1/PS2 games, the games was snooker, chess and the like, I loved them and got plenty of hours out of it and those games was about the same price as skins & digital currencies, maybe even less.
If 2023 was the Genesis, Nes, PS1/PS2 era now, a gun for time crisis would be my choice.
