@Dragon83 Valid points about the other black assassins. Black Flag, etc. came out before the culture war flaming landscape that we've been spiralling in since like 2016. I have no doubt that if those games came out a few years later we'd be seeing the same crap now. There's a whole generation now being fed algorithm ragebait and we can see the unfortunate results.

I'm guessing that supposed Skywalker Saga type Lego Harry Potter game by TT isn't happening then - or it's the last outsourced LEGO game to be in production.

Either way I'm curious/happy to see the studio doing a non Lego game in the future, it's been about 17 years since their last release.

I recently watched a video about a pitch they presented for a regular Hobbit movie tie in, using scenes from LOTR as a base, to branch out from the constant Lego churn. That ended up being forced into Lego LOTR by management, followed by the Lego Hobbit game. Surprisingly most of the elements from that pitch ended up in the final version verbatim - QTEs, stealth and magic mechanics, dialogue taken directly from the movies, etc. only with the realistic models replaced with minifigures.

btw, the President in this game is being played by Alastair Duncan (Senator Armstrong from MGR... oh and Mimir lol).

Then it isn't Pro Skater 4. It's Pro Skater 4 levels included in a Pro Skater 3 remake.

David Zaslav is a menace

Call of Slop: Sludge Ops 6

I might stick with PC for this as with the other Two Point games given that controller still remains a bit clunky for these kinds of games. Potential Switch 2 versions with mouse mode and touchscreen controls could be great though.

@xHHHx Konami has an internal team with plenty of Metal Gear veterans. Bloober probably aren't needed, but it would be interesting to see a more horror focused take given the past flirtations with the genre.

New game rather than a remake again is a W

@DennisReynolds Yeah, even if the Pro was twice as powerful and $1400 you'd have this situation where some devs will continue to offer multiple graphics modes. You just can't enforce a policy for games to only have 1 mode for Pro.

I really think they should have considered releasing the game, but not dedicating the studio to endless support. Launch the game, give it a year of support and then mainly leaving it there as a finished package for people to keep playing, only minor updates to maintain the game's stability. It's not like people will stop playing a game immediately if there isn't constantly new seasons with tons of content. Smash Ultimate still has a captive base, as just one example.

Either that or hand off post launch support to another studio.

Sony's problem was they couldn't market their AA games, which isn't the same thing as the market disappearing. Shuhei is missing the mark here.

Yeah this sounded like nonsense to me, but the Xbox guys were eating up Phil's words yet again. People have got to learn at some point.

@nessisonett And the sycophants who cheer it on too.

How many more times can Phil say the same thing slightly differently before it stops becoming newsworthy?

@get2sammyb It would be odd if it really was Xbox only, when Xbox doesn't care about exclusivity. Not even just talking about PS and Switch, but PC too.

@twitchtvpat Unless they recorded all of Tony's dialogue ahead of schedule, or just recast, I can see it not happening.

@Areus It's on Switch though that's the strange thing.

All-Stars Transformed x Sonic Riders with monster trucks and a bit of Rift Apart. Could go hard.

@Colour Goldfish memory from some.

@UltimateOtaku91 Kept seeing people asking for GTA6 lol. That game is big enough to not need to show up for any of these showcases. They'll do their own thing.

@Nei I guess people wanted a bunch of first party news. I couldn't care less personally, games are games.

Really good showing

We knew Death Stranding 2 news wasn't happening here because Kojima is doing something for SXSW btw

This sounds like it could've been whatever Bluepoint's live service offering was if this isn't a remake somehow, idk.

@ChrisDeku NetherRealm is WB's only studio consistently putting games out at this point lol. TT fell off a cliff with Skywalker Saga.

Rich coming from GameStop. Maybe don't destroy physical copies?

Interesting date. MGS3's events take place between August 24th and September 2nd. Perhaps intentional, ala Dead Rising Deluxe's release date coinciding with the game's events.

I gave up hope of remasters for the Onimusha sequels considering Warlords was years ago now.
I wonder what took them so long? I thought the sales were softer than they'd like and they chose not to bother (particularly with actor likenesses), but obviously not with the new game.

It's quite telling that this is apparently just the first three games, combined with the new game being a prequel. It seems they're moving away from the direction of Gears 4 and 5.

My favourite Xbox consoles are the PS5 and (eventually) Switch 2. Thanks Satya!

Most normal AC Shadows comment section

@Airsqueeble It will be.

Ninja Gaiden comeback tour!!!

Nice to see Platinum still doing well too!

Half of this comment section is removed lmao

@PuppetMaster Now we just need PS1 RE2 and 3.

@Shigurui RE6 is great if you can accept it for what it is, shame that most still can't after 13 years and a return to the horror roots in more recent entries.

The OLED screen in 2012 was pretty awesome, but it was also an OLED screen in 2012. Quite an expense. The rear touchpad was used in an interesting way in maybe a few games. L2 and R2 would have been better.

@CielloArc Based on Nate the Hate's comments about Delta being bound for Switch 2, I'm wondering if they're waiting for that to come out - presumably around June - and have it be day and date for all platforms.

@LavenderShroud this was always the plan.

@Alps_Stranger and this data was in the files from launch too iirc

Interesting twist. I'll give it a look.

@Steeleye50 he literally does that. He's not the sole person doing writing, producing, etc.

Just drop Miku already.

@Korgon Someone who gets it. Like Fortnite or not, getting your IP featured is big potential exposure.

Gears of War should have gotten a Master Chief style collection a while ago in my opinion.

@devil76 How is Mario Kart not casual? It has mass broad appeal including to people who don't play a lot of games.

@Bionic-Spencer Yeah I had some money saved aside for a Pro, but I figured I'd be better off waiting a bit and spending it on the Switch 2. I don't need a slightly better PS5 than my launch day unit as much as I need a brand new Nintendo system.

@AlexOlney Helloooo there, lovely person.

Would be perfect with coloured buttons.

Horizon is like Avatar. Everyone online is always ready to dump on it online but the sales show a different story.

Literally how?

@UltimateOtaku91 Still a Sega IP, Nintendo just funded 2, 3 and Origins.

The Wonderful 101 was a fully owned Nintendo IP but they relinquished the rights to Platinum. I don't expect something similar to happen here with Bayonetta, but it's certainly not impossible. It depends on if they see any value in the franchise without Kamiya going forward.

(Fatal Frame 4 and 5 were also Nintendo co-produced games with Koei Tecmo that are now multiplat since we're on the subject).

@nomither6 There's always a choice. Sequels have ignored previous sequels before. If whichever team has a different vision from Sanzaru they might just want to ignore the game entirely, do their own Sly 4 (the number hasn't been used yet). Could even reboot it.

Would suck for anyone wanting the resolution to the cliffhanger but it happens.
