@LifeGirl sorry for the second @ IIRC they also sued games over using a frying pan as a melee weapon because they argued PUBG’s “iconic” frying pan default melee weapon was too closely associated with their brand.
And they sued a game over using “winner winner chicken dinner” for similar reasons
@LifeGirl yeah they argued that PUBG invented the Battle Royale genre and term even though the Genre was literally created by a Minecraft mod and the term was literally stolen from a movie with a similar concept.
@nessisonett yeah I’m double on this. On the one hand I don’t want Atari gobling up indie devs because of Atari’s past. On the other hand Atari has been treating their studios really well and they’re kinda an indie publisher atm seeing how small they are and what they make.
@PuppetMaster Gunn and Suda both have stated in the past they where blocked from any involvement with the franchise. They both have tried to reaquire the IP for a potential remake or sequel and Gunn even offered to help out with music licensing for the remaster.
After the last 2 BF’s flopped commercially that would be absolutely idiotic.
That’s a garanteed flop unless all old BF fans suddenly return.
EDIT: also is charging €79,99 now gonna be the standard in Europe despite the euro being stronger than the USD by a lot?
Nintendo is also charging €89,99 for Mario Kart World in Europe.
Playing Donkey Kong Bananza on the Switch 2 at the moment. I’m at layer 1.100. Also bought No More Heroes 1 and 2 last week on sale which I’ll be playing after. Besides that some more Fortnite on PS5
As long as he’s bald and south/south east asian I don’t care how handsome he is. Never thought of dhalsim as a character that needs to be ugly or below average anyway.
@rjejr last I checked @get2sammyb has no obligation to follow the masses their opinions on games. It’s not some journalistic code to only praise what’s commonly praised.
Bought Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Edition on my Switch 2 yesterday. Also still enjoying my replay of Yakuza 0 through Yakuza 0 Directors Cut. Besides that I’m still playing Mario Kart World online with friends.
Been thinking about starting Odin Sphere on my Ps5 though.
@get2sammyb I don’t mean this as moderation discussion as I was expecting my joke to be removed anyway. I fully agree. But I feel like the joke about Greta screaming is equally if not more unconstructive. 🤷♀️
EDIT: and counterintuitive to the point of the game and article.
I beat Soul Calibur II on NSO and put 22 hours into Mario Kart World. I’m currently playing Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and replaying Yakuza 0. Good stuff.
Mario Kart World, Cyberpunk 2077 and Fortnite on my shiny new Switch 2 Besides that I want to test some Switch 1 games like Super Mario Odyssey and Link’s Awakening.
Got 1000GS in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on the XSX. Playing through Asura’s Wrath and its DLC on Ps3 atm. Almost done so I’ll play God of War on Ps3 after. Switch is benched atm till the Switch 2 releases.
@shogunrok I’ve spoken to someone that speaks Japanese and apparently Hori never mentioned a CT remake and that was entirely added by the Italian interpreter.
Playing Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on my 3DS. Not much else this easter weekend. Might start Wario Land 4 or Densetsu No Stafy 2 after on my Switch.
@liamcroft also seen people on Reddit say that the EU price is being raised to €100/€150/€200 but haven’t seen proof of that myself yet and haven’t gotten an e-mail yet so I doubt it.
Almost done with Sea of Stars on Switch, I was recommended to pursue the true ending. Not sure what to play next yet but Octopath Traveler 2, Elec-Head, Grapple Dog, Jedi Survivor and Princess Peach Showtime are all on the shortlist.

Sounds like what Bayonetta 1 to 3 did.
Re: Konami Wants to 'Consider Lots of Other Games' for Remake Treatment if MGS Delta Succeeds
Goemon please.
Or give us a goemon collection. Either works.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Finally Out on 4th September
@get2sammyb not until the PushSquare, NintendoLife and PureXbox reviews are out!
We also need our obligatory “game was mid” hot take cycle to start in 2 months.
Re: These 8 PS5, PS4 Games Will Leave PS Plus Extra in September
Damn 4 games I installed last month to play soon.
Guess I’ll be looking for the physicals again.

Not much else.

Re: Lollipop Chainsaw Statement Invites Scrutiny, as New Game and Anime Are Announced
No Suda and no Gunn means no interest from me.
I hate how they where both blocked from any future involvement despite offering to help fund a remake.

Re: PS5, PS4 Finally Gets More Picross, with a Hatsune Miku Flavour
IIRC this one in particular was panned because it was so overpriced and content bare compared to other Picross games.
EDIT: Should’ve fully read the article. Seems like the PlayStation port fixes these issues.
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 12.52 Out Now, Features 'Security Fixes'

Re: Final Fantasy 9 Celebrates 25th Anniversary, But the Rumoured Remake Is Nowhere to Be Seen
The remake was part of the old Nvidia leak. Like 99% of that leak has since been announced or released. The big outlier is still FF9R.
Re: Best inFAMOUS Games
Could never get into InFamous 1. The difficulty curve was insane.
Adore Second Son and First Light though.
Re: You Can Now Launch First-Party PlayStation Games Through the Xbox PC App

First thing I did after the SoP was go to Max’ strean lmao. Knew he’d lose his mind.
Re: Street Fighter 6's Big Balance Patch Bundles in Four Famicom Favourites for Free
Mighty Final Fight is a crazy expensive game these days.
Cool to see it in SF6. Here’s hoping they also add it to NES NSO.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 582
Hotel Dusk on the DS and Fortnite on the Switch and Ps5.
Not much in anticipation for the Switch 2. Gonna be a slow 12 days.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for May 2025?
Very happy with Sandland. That’s about it.
Still waiting for Premium to add things like Ape Escape 2 and 3, the ps2 R&C games and ICO.
Re: Like It or Loathe It, This Is Why Sony Won't Stop Trying to Make Live Service Games for PS5
Maybe they should continue leeching off of existing live services rather than investing that profit in their own ones that keep failing.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 580
Got 1000GS in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered on the XSX. Playing through Asura’s Wrath and its DLC on Ps3 atm.
Almost done so I’ll play God of War on Ps3 after.
Switch is benched atm till the Switch 2 releases.
Re: Mini Review: Little Kitty, Big City (PS5) - Forgettable Feline Sim Offers Short-Lived Fun
Agreed. When I played this on XSX it was a perfectly fine 6/10. Nothing wrong with that.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Oblivion Remastered?
Got all 60 achievements yesterday on xbox after 75+ hours of playing
Absolute masterpiece

Re: The Force is Strong in Fortnite's New Star Wars Season on PS5, PS4
@get2sammyb the battlepass also includes General Grievous as a quest unlock skin.
Re: Oblivion Remastered: Everything New and All Changes Compared to the Original Oblivion
@ShogunRok slight correction.
Levelups don’t give 15 skill points, the give 12 skill points.

Re: PS Plus Price Increase Hits Another Country, Canada Forced to Pay More
@liamcroft also seen people on Reddit say that the EU price is being raised to €100/€150/€200 but haven’t seen proof of that myself yet and haven’t gotten an e-mail yet so I doubt it.
Re: Mortal Kombat Is Koming to Fortnite This Week, Including Scorpion, Raiden, Kitana Skins
@Rich33 all these skins are based on MK3.
Only Sub-Zero has an extra MK1 (2023) style which is unlockable.
Re: Final Fantasy 9 Teases 'Various Projects' to Commemorate 25th Anniversary
Happy 25th birthday to one of the, if not the, best games ever made.
Hope that elusive remake is still real and not internally cancelled.
Re: Speculation About a Second Naughty Dog PS5 Game Starts to Circulate
Makes sense. They have a B team.
Re: Patapon 1+2 Replay Marches to PS5, as Sony Licenses Series Out
@anoyonmus I didn’t think sony would bring anything to Switch at all yet here we are, 5 games in.
They clearly don’t see the Switch as a competitor.
Re: Patapon 1+2 Replay Marches to PS5, as Sony Licenses Series Out
@VeldinX the available ones run on a psp emulator
The new ones are native ports with new QoL features and new content
Re: Patapon 1+2 Replay Marches to PS5, as Sony Licenses Series Out
Please I want an Ape Escape Trilogy and God of War Greek Saga on Switch next

Re: Split Fiction Looks Set for Hollywood as Bidding War Begins for Movie Adaptation
We still haven’t seen the It Takes Two and A Way Out movies. Can’t really get excited for this one because of that.
Gives me a feel this one will enter development hell just like the other two.
Re: AI 'Eslop' Rips Off Rumoured Xbox Port on PS Store
Saw this one on the Switch eShop last week when scrolling sales.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 572
Just beat Bakeru on Switch half an hour ago. Debating on wether to continue Jedi: Survivor on Ps5 or wether to start Sea of Stars on the Switch.
