@whmchrish I'd also love to see an AC3 remake. One of the best settings in the series, but probably the worst execution. I beat the game, but mostly because the setting made the game very personal for me. The game itself I thought was pretty boring.

You'd think people would actually want a remake of AC3, so that Ubisoft could correct previous mistakes.

As an aside, I find it so interesting how there seems to be a complete lack of respect for keeping things quiet at Ubisoft. That place has more leaks than the Titanic.

I'd guess it's a remake of 1. Another obvious choice is AC2, but an interesting choice would be to remake the Kenway trilogy in chronological order. I doubt it, especially because Rogue isn't well remembered and the gameplay is almost identical to Black Flag, but I definitely wouldn't mind it. I enjoyed Rogue for what it was.

@Metonymy Yeah, I honestly just don't see how making a direct adaptation of the game works. The "story" of the actual game is: random unnamed person shows up in the Lands Between. They kill all the things. Killing all the things somehow makes them Elden Lord. The end.

The lore of Elden Ring is fascinating, but the contemporaneous narrative of the game is basically nonexistent.

I continue to be very curious as to what this movie will actually be about. While I love FromSoft games, there aren't really ever stories that you're playing through. Everything has already happened and you, as the player, are putting the pieces together through drip-fed lore.

I really, really hope that the movie is about the story the sets up the game, rather then a retelling of what you play in the game. I just don't see the latter working at all.

Edit: I have the same exact opinion on the Bloodborne movie.

The game is glitchy, but I wouldn't call it broken. It's pretty much on par with any other Bethesda game I've played. You'll occasionally need to close and reboot, but if we're being honest, that's a pretty mild inconvenience.

Once you understand that you're supposed to play this game through missions and quests, rather than aimless exploring, it really opens up.

Best moment-to-moment gameplay in a BGS game and best quests.

Yes, please! Been looking forward to this for a while.

@gamer153 No, they'll release it normally as well. It's easier to film for IMAX and edit the framing for normal releases than the other way around. The aspect ratios are different and IMAX has a higher resolution.

Seeing lots of people Garland has already worked with. Would love to see who these people are playing.

@AnginaPectoris Well then sign me up, baby!

@AnginaPectoris Or maybe you're the one with a special gene! Sulfur pretty universally smells like farts

@AnginaPectoris I dunno, it kinda smells like farts.

@themightyant I honestly don't agree. Sony/PlayStation is under no obligation to sell every title on their platform, the same way that Walmart doesn't have to sell every brand of TV in their stores.

I think Sony should do a much better job of curating what titles are offered on their storefront to make a, on average, higher quality experience for every player in their ecosystem.

@dark_knightmare2 I think I get what @nomither6 is saying. The game could very well be excellent, but you would hope that the "ultimate" Batman game would not be a you playing as a toy version of Batman. If you want the ultimate Batman experience, you want to play as Batman proper.

This sounds less like an extraction shooter and more like Payday, no?

This is actually f'ing great! Bringing back David Arnold was a boss move.

Maybe in a sequel, we can get Radiohead their flowers, too. Their Spectre track is absolute 🔥

@DartLOD This iteration of the Creation Engine is actually only as old as Starfield 🤷‍♂️

Hope this fixes the crashes I've been getting when trying to build an Outpost. Literally happens every time.

@get2sammyb To be fair, that's just the entertainment industry, in general. How many things have we seen Pedro Pascal in lately? I've lost count.

Dude looks like he's 35.

Favorite role has got to be Sam.

If you're a Trekkie, especially one from the 90s/00s era, this is a pretty good time. It has all the signature Telltale jank and clearly was a budget title, but it does nail the Voyager-era tone.

Starfield isn't Bethesda's best, but it's still a great game. Hope they can have a long tail.

While I don't think that Starfield is owed success, I do think that online cynicism has gotten way out of hand. In 2026, your game is either amazing or it's sh*t. What a sad state of affairs.

@Dragon83 I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or not.

@LikelySatan I get what you're saying, but I honestly like it. Makes things feel a little more real. Bushwacking can really suck in real life, haha.

@DartLOD While I agree that they need to invest more in the narrative of the games, that shouldn't come at the expense of other parts. Also, not really sure where you're getting the "flop" data from. AC Shadows may not have sold as well as Valhalla, but it certainly didn't do poorly.

AC Shadows is actually one of the most visually impressive games out there, full stop. This ranges from weather, foliage density, ray-traced GI, etc. It really is a feast for the eyes.

I'll always enjoy AC, but it really is a shame that the scripts/dialog have gotten pretty bad in recent years.

I'm not sure who's nephew is writing these things right now, but they need to get someone else in there who can bring the caliber of the writing up to par with the visuals and game systems.

I want to play, but at this point it sounds like I'd be crazy to get it now. Seems like a no-brainer to wait until the patches fall off and the game goes on sale.

@Northern_munkey @Balaam_ Didn't take long for the faux leather to start peeling away 😫

Definitely not for me, but I already have the H9 headset (not the second edition) and love it. It's wayyy more comfortable on my head then the Pulse headphones. It also integrates with the PlayStation UI seamlessly. The only downsides are you still need the dongle and the headband doesn't hold up over time due to the sweat off my bald head, but that's solved with a comfy zipper wrap.

What Capcom should have done is send all these streamers a creepy M3GAN doll, since that's exactly the vibe I get from Diana.

I never watch Twitch or YouTube game streamers, so I feel so disconnected from all this.

Does the audience for these streamers actually consider them honest brokers for opinions? They seem so nakedly bought and paid for.

I've seen people act way stupider when it comes to politics, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised...

@AnginaPectoris Now you're making sense.

@AnginaPectoris Yeah Daniel Craig's movies definitely say it explicitly, but I think people floated the idea earlier to justify the recasts.

@AnginaPectoris Yeah, the chronology of the movies is all over the place.

It's not too late the read the books! I heartily recommend the original novels (the ones written by Ian Fleming). I haven't read all of them, but probably like 80% and loved each one. Some of them are nothing like the movie adaptations (I'm looking at you, Moonraker).

Reading the novels also puts to bed the whole theory that "James Bond" is just a code name for multiple agents. It's very clear from the books that it's one guy.

@AnginaPectoris They address it in Dr. No, which was the next one up. Obviously, he doesn't actually die, but Fleming does leave it on a cliffhanger in FRwL, which I thought was pretty cool.

Spoilers for a 70 year old book 😂

@AnginaPectoris @Rich33 Y'all might be surprised by the From Russia, With Love novel ending...

From Indonesia, with love. For everyone's eyes only.

@Titntin I'm sorry you went through that. I'm not against occasional crunch, but what you're describing is unacceptable.

The problem with articles talking about this and many of the comments here is there is a complete lack of nuance to the situation.

If no one is being forced to put in 60 hour weeks, I don't understand why this continues to be a story.

"...crunch isn't a strict requirement at Naughty Dog, but employees are incentivised to do it because the amount of work they put in is reflected in bonuses."

So, you put in more work and you get larger bonuses for it. Isn't that how bonuses are supposed to work?

The way people talk about game developer jobs, you'd think they were working in a mine.

I own all three games, but haven't beaten any. I've gotten through a decent amount of 2033, though.

I really need to get back to this series. The premise is crazy good and the vibes in what I've played are excellent.

@Steeleye25 I was just teasing. Sorry if that didn't come across.

@Steeleye25 Not sure if you've played a Kojima game before, but Kojima flair is a different kind of flair 😂

Getting crashes all over the place, but I guess it just shows the addictive quality of Bethesda RPGs because I just keep booting it back up.

The only consistent crash I've gotten is related to outpost building. That one needs to get fixed ASAP; I can't scroll past a certain structure without the game crashing, without fail.

@Max_the_German I love the game, but even I'll admit, that trend line isn't great to see.

@Zeke68 Fair enough. I think they're probably there since the last CEO left a few months ago, but Marathon was way too deep to do anything about the budget by then.

@Balaam_ @Zeke68 You're both correct. Isn't English fun???

Unfortunately, not that surprising. I hope Sony and Bungie are committed to the long haul because the game is actually excellent and, if done correctly, can grow an audience over time. But the cost for such a hardcore, niche game is pretty crazy.

That track is amazing - reminds me of old Arms and Sleepers music (iykyk). I know the music is the focus of that video, but the visuals are astounding! I've never actually played a Silent Hill game, but the setting and vibe for Townfall is making me very interested in this one.

@ShogunRok Yeah, hopefully they'll be able to tighten up the jank with some patches. I was really into the look of this game. Can't really think of another game that leans into the 90s Grunge aesthetic like this.

Sounds like this needed way more time in the oven, though.

Disappointing to be sure, but I wonder how fair the GTA comparisons are. Is this another Mafia situation, where people are asking the game to be something it was never meant to be?

I tried this once with NBA and the result would make Cthulhu proud. I think I'll pass this time. 😂 🦑🦑🦑
