I really need to get to this game, it looks so good. I love the art style, the characters look interesting, and I love the Telltale Games style of gameplay. Sucks that I missed the episodic release, but I do that with all media these days, so womp womp
I'd usually groan at stuff like this, but FX is one of the most consistently great production companies and television networks. And it's from the people behind some of FX's best, so unlike pretty much anything else Ubisoft, I have hope for this.
Just to note, the "games were always just licensed to users" point isn't really accurate. When you bought a disc or cartridge on a, let's say PS2 or GBA, the developer can't take that away from you. They may own the copyright, but you own that disc/cartridge until you lose it or whatever.
Really disappointing outcome, hopefully the EU has a better response. As an outsider, it seems like the UK government has been out of touch its citizens, especially their younger ones, with this and the age verification controversy.
@dodgykebaab Cling onto the past all you want. I don't even have Game Pass anymore as of last year, I don't care about my own old comments, and I don't care much about how you feel about my old comments.
If you're gonna expect me to take time out of my day to defend a service that has increased in price by 1.5–2 times the price, or expect me to apologize for opinions I don't stand by anymore, I'm afraid that you're wrong.
So please, leave your troubles with more recent articles please, not articles older than the current generation of consoles. Thank you.
It's not a Push Square PS Plus poll if the majority of votes isn't "No, it's a crap selection", and it's even better this month, considering the fact that all three of these games are highly acclaimed.
@Haruki_NLI Didn't PUBG switch to Unreal Engine 5 last year? That engine is notorious for poor optimizing (GRRR, MARVEL RIVALS!!!!), so 1440p 60fps is honestly better than I would've guessed.
And, only 1440p? Is 1440p already an outdated enough of a resolution to be scoffed at? If so, don't tell any PC players about my 1080p monitor lmao
@TruestoryYep The "A ___ Film" thing is very common for directors of a movie. You'll see it a lot at the end of movie trailers (or at least used to, I think it's still done nowadays), and you'll usually see it on posters for films, especially from big name directors (Christopher Nolan, Russo Brothers, James Gunn, Ryan Coogler, Jordan Peele). Obviously, they're not the only people behind the film, and I doubt that many of them are trying to make it out like that, but besides the actors or characters, they're the face of a film, and that alone can influence whether someone watches a film or not. That, and also the director is arguably the most important part of a film, as they are the ones who bring together that team, they bring together a film's vision, and they get the film to the finish line.
Now, I'll be honest. I haven't played any of Hideout Kojima's games. But I do know that he directs the games within his Kojima Productions studio, and he does have a vision with all of them. So, yes, he's not the only one who puts these games together, but kinda like film directors, he does have a huge role in the production in the Metal Gear and Death Stranding games, so I understand why the "A Hideo Kojima Game" tagline is on the box art and credits of those games.
I'm glad that they got rid of the $80 price, but I'm surprised that Microsoft didn't follow up this price drop with laying off half of Obsidian's team.
Ubisoft will do anything but give us a new damn Rayman game.
Note: I know that Ubisoft announced that a new Rayman was in the works, but considering the fact that this is the company that is infamous for cancelling projects and having them be in development hell (Skull and Bones, Beyond Good & Evil 2), I'm not believing anything they say until we see a title, a release date, and footage. Maybe.
I think that every higher-up and executive in Xbox, Microsoft Gaming, and Microsoft deserve a huge bonus and salary boost for their brave work today. It takes a hell of a lot of ambition and hard work to do something so stupid.
Sucks that Sony is significantly deprioritizing their smaller franchises, but at least they're licensing it to Bandai Namco, and it's nice that Patapon will be available on modern hardware.
Hopefully this collection does well so that we can finally get a new Patapon movie game!
Hell yes. We need more good original VR games like Blade and Sorcery, Saints and Sinners, and Boneworks. Not as in action or fighting games, but moreso, great games that define the platform.
1. This doesn't look terrible, but the fact that it's made by GameMill makes me very cautious. 2. They stretched out the Nickelodeon logo at the end of the trailer.
It's really funny seeing grown adults get mad over a little Roblox game. Yeah, it's not particularly high quality, but it doesn't really seem harmful. And even if it was a high quality Roblox game, even if this game was as quality as something like Elden Ring, you'd still complain and still wouldn't play it.
What I'm saying is, calling children stupid over a gardening game is kinda pathetic.
If that's the case, this could potentially be a smart decision. Putting out a small collection of Halo titles for PlayStation users to get a taste of, and if they like it, maybe they'll buy an Xbox (or PC) to play Halo!
Will it actually work? Hell no! Or at least probably not, but it's not a bad idea, I just doubt that most people will be willing to switch platforms, or buy a Xbox alongside their PlayStation, just to play Halo.
Then again, some people buy Nintendo consoles just for Mario Kart, so what the hell am I talking about?
@Kelrics90 Why are you questioning someone else's opinion on a game that you, guaranteed, haven't played, and based on your dismissive comment, probably won't play?
If there's anyone I can trust with the knowledge of the creative process of game development and creative production as a whole, surely it's Push Square commenters! Right...?
@tameshiyaku Funny you say that, because I think James Gunn's style is the best of all the MCU subseries. Although most films trying to replicate it, with exceptions, fail. Taika's Thor Ragnarok was a good example of replicating the humor. Love and Thunder, not so much.
I felt like the new Captain America was pretty boring outside of the action and some of the drama. I'm glad you liked it, but I unfortunately found it bland.
