This would go really hard if you have zero foresight and can’t see how widespread plagiarism could impact the industry.

@somnambulance I think that might be worse. Spending time and effort on ripping off others and succeeding due to having endless resources is the story of the last 200 years.

She’s amazing in Humans, a genuinely stand out role that she should have won more plaudits for. And she was in one of the best Doctor Who episodes. I think she’ll be great for this.

It’s Suda so it’s guaranteed to be a mess but we’ll see how it falls in the scale of good Suda to just a mess.

Why are all the games that rip off other properties Chinese?

You have to be supremely naïve to not question how they’re making their money back. But then who knows how much they’ve saved by completely ripping off animations from other games.

Slop. If the entire game is a series of copycats there’s no artistic thrust.

Last did SEO nonsense before the rise of the AI answer crap popping up on Google. Genuinely curious, is this article worded that way for the Google algorithm or so that it’ll be cited by AI if you ask it who’s playing Wolverine?

Absolutely will not be playing this. Capital subsumes everything, Disco Elysium was popular therefore there must be a follow-up to make more money that draws upon the work of the very creatives they ousted.

Proper excited for it but still I maintain PORT HORIZON 4

Sounds good to me. I had some pretty glaring issues with the first one that a sequel could definitely improve on so it’s good to see that they’ve spent time improving their core gameplay.

It was decent, Wolverine looks great. I want Dynasty Warriors too. Not fussed about Saros if it makes the same mistakes Returnal did.

Well that’s nice! I need more games where you can pick up objects and move them around in your digital mitts.

Kiwami 2 is one of my least favourite to revisit because of the 30FPS. I’d need a deep discount for this though.

Wow a colossal shame about the new actors, they aren’t even close to looking like the original characters. I love the cast of Yakuza 3 so it’s dampened what should be a cool announcement.

@zhoont It really is remarkable that there’s now two commentary options and both are a bit weak. But then I’d argue that most commentary teams in real life aren’t a patch on what we had even a decade ago. Clive Tyldsley being pushed out in favour of Sam Matterface on ITV is criminal. Honestly, EA should, at least for the career mode, be integrating a MOTD style studio package like the 2K games rather than the sterile stuff you get currently, interspliced with the occasional Alex Scott reading one of 3 lines (I don’t mind her to be fair but she’s a better studio host than a pundit imo). With Lineker being a free agent now, sign him up for these games whether as a match host for intros or bringing back the old podcast/radio idea they had back in World Cup 2014 for the PS3 or the Madden games in the 2000s.

I’m assuming this means the embargo is over which means I can talk about what I’ve played of it so far. Career mode gameplay is excellent but the managerial aspects are still a bit crap and very similar to last year’s game. Ultimate Team online gameplay is also great, just a faster paced arcade version of the game. The season pass nonsense is awful though, yet another way to fleece people.

The leap’s getting smaller and the price is getting higher. I’d rather we saw innovations in depth and interactivity over just a graphical leap, Red Dead 2 is probably the most impressive game I’ve played in that regard outside of MMOs and that’s from last generation.

This exemplifies Sony. Good fans get the opportunity to spend more money.

Should really include Silent Assassin and Contracts, shame they’re stuck to PS3.

Hijacked and Raid are good maps tbf. Haven’t played a COD since MW2019 though.

Yes please, looking forward to getting round to Old Country when I can. Would be cool to either get young Leo or another 40s/50s set game following one of the other gangs in the Commission. To be fair, there’s so many directions they could go in, even as far as the 90s.

I call my knob ‘the Beast’ too.

Literally just read this over on the BBC, bizarre story but honestly what an era for online shooters. Now sack the Celtic board.

I’d appreciate remasters over the emulation, I tried to play Legend through the emulator and felt incredibly sick almost instantly.

The PS5 just got a reduced hard drive. I’d sit this one out, both Xbox and PlayStation are absolutely taking the piss.

Maybe it’ll be worth playing in a few years.

Definitely more excited for the Sega offering, Jet Set Radio’s specific setting and style is yet to be matched.

Really like the artistic direction, looks almost like claymation. Could do with some more colour though, it’s a little washed out!

Probably stick to the PC version but would be very cool.

@tameshiyaku I liked 3 a lot but the combat is not brilliant. The chapter ‘The Plot’ sort of just exemplifies the narrative issues with the game too.

Randy really makes this series almost impossible to enjoy. Waste of fecal matter.

It’s a decent roster, I’d like to see Noh-Varr though. Definitely 90s inspired which I’d assume is why there’s no Hulkling. Odd not to have Captain Marvel too, whether that’s Carol or Mar-Vell.

I’m a Yakuza 3 defender in that I absolutely love the Okinawa stuff. I can’t really defend everything else, unlike the enemies who can defend until the cows come home. Kiwami 3 is a good idea.

Battlefield 1 going is a shame, that still seems to have a dedicated fanbase and I wish I’d played it at the time.

As much as I love Ren and Stimpy, does anybody really want more money going John K’s way?

While the modern day stuff in Black Flag is pants, this is a great opportunity to fix that. Instead of removing it completely, have different people delving into Edward’s memories to find some MacGuffin, which then means you can cover different events and remixed material from the original, it’s literally the perfect setup for a remake that changes some things. The Animus is arguably the greatest concept in gaming history to merge story and gameplay in a seamless way. They just bungle it over and over.

@ShogunRok I’m now realising that there was no fast-travel in the original PSP version of Sky, I’m definitely glad I played Evolution!

Downloading and very excited. The way AndyTHPS is talking about it, sounds like it’ll be perfect to just free roam in, which is what I did in Skate 3 for years.

@ShogunRok How’s the speed-up? I played Sky Evo on Vita pretty much exclusively for the turbo mode as it cut the glacial nature of the game quite a bit in places.

5 years into this gen and the console is more expensive than it was at launch and a worse product. There’s no doubt that this is the worst generation in gaming history.

After years of being repelled by the cringe and Randy and bouncing off 2 a few times, I massively got into the series over the last few months. Still plugging away at The Pre Sequel’s platinum so I have a while before getting to 4. Need to find 3’s DLC cheap too.

I want it to never happen for the sole reason that Grubb looks like a massive idiot.

Love the graphics personally, really captures the vibe of the illustrations. Also that guy looks like a Dragon Quest character himself.

I also would very much like the PS2 games. Couldn’t really get into the older games mostly because they’re incredibly difficult but loved Deadly Alliance.

The Switch 2 really is incredibly impressive for a handheld. That being said, this is not a game I would want to play in bed therefore PS5 or PC will suffice.

I thought they already did this on Switch with new modes.

Best case scenario is that this one isn’t even divisive, it’s just absolutely panned and we get Uncharted back.

@get2sammyb I’d actually say the opposite in that I think the 3DS version was too streamlined, I’d be happy with a middle ground between the obtuse nature of the PS1 original and the simplified 3DS version. I also expressed my wish for this remake like a couple weeks ago on here and now feel compelled to buy a lottery ticket.

Might actually try WWE. It’s probably terrible compared to Here Comes The Pain.
