The leaked images supposedly are from a 2021 presentation, the reveal could happen whenever and didn't concern TGS. I mean, I wish it was false, but sadly Bloober Hill of all things seems to be the only big rumour that's actually happening :goty

So basically this probably got Konami Kancelled behind the scenes and we'll never hear about it anyways. :lol

Also indie devs often make pitches and vertical slices for pubs based on publisher IP. Renegade Kid wanted to do a Silent Hill on DS. And I don't think the Halo DS prototype was officially commissioned (or if it were, that's as far as it went).



For example this vertical slice was totally unauthorized and breaks copyright out the wazoo. Buuuuut if the publisher ended up liking it, then it'd be the start of a new project.

There were layoffs and a tone-deaf tweet.

Apparently someone haxx0red Rockstar and stole the source code for the game and for GTA5.   One of the GTA6 videos may also be running on a PS4 devkit.

Yeah, reviews are good. Sounds like a return to form after Monkey Island 4 and Tales from Monkey Island.

Starting it tonight.


Only gripe I have is the game is $24.99 when most stuff like this is $19.99. But whatever. Also I don't like the art style, but I can look past that.

Yeah, I think the whole "Curse isn't real because it's not the original team" is silly. I played these games as a kid as they came out and Curse was fucking awesome and my favorite of the first three easily.

It's not like when some other team takes over and makes a shitty game. If another team makes a game in a series and it's good, then it counts as a proper game in the series.

I don't see a problem with it.  The guy who came up with the ideas and themes for the original game returns and wants to make a game picking up where he left off- I'm all for it. 

Played for a few hours and am really enjoying the game.

Return to Monkey Island's art style works a lot better in motion when playing. Really good animation.

Also if you're playing on PC remember to put quality on the highest. I was wondering while all the sprites were lower resolution until I changed it and then it looked nice and sharp on my 1440p monitor.

That's fine, I'm just saying Curse is still a fine Monkey Island game. The fanbase has a tendency to just throw it under the bus because it's not the original team.

I like when the company tries to continue on with the brand and the creators make a spiritual successor. The FPS genre has lots of instances of the latter succeeding while the former fades away, Medal of Honor -> Call of Duty, Operation Flashpoint -> ARMA, STALKER -> Metro, etc.

This game literally incorporates 3, 4 and the Telltale episodes as canon in the beginning (if you click on the recap thing) and doesn't label itself as 3. :idont

Anyway, even now, the Guybrush face I simply can't get used to. Looks so bad.

Yeah, but it picks right up directly after the second game.  It's the "new" 3- which is fine since there wasn't a numbered 3 in this series anyway. 

Definitely nothing is being ignored:

Gilbert and Grossman, who created the Monkey Island series and co-developed the first two games for LucasArts, haven't had much of a hand in the series since then. In April, they announced their return to the world of Monkey Island. Speaking to IGN, the two stated that they have no intention of rewriting the canon of the series, and they intend to honor the decisions of the other writers and developers who worked on the franchise. "Neither Dave nor I felt like we could throw them out," Gilbert said, pointing out that the sequels released in the time since their departure added too much to the series to let go of.

Anyway, even now, the Guybrush face I simply can't get used to. Looks so bad.

I'm with Bebpo in that the art looks fine in-game.  I definitely prefer the old sprite art from back in the day though.

Impressive performance for such a small device.
However, it's a hungry beast (~1 hour of play time) and the GPU performance (Vega) isn't great.

Better to wait for the Ryzen 6000 models with RDNA graphics.

I'm surprised at how many people seem to think any objection to her rant was the vague feminist-ish content of part of it and not that it was stupid, seemed deliberately provocative in a needless manufactured way, and a weird thing to be doing in the context of when she did it. (Especially how G4 immediately tweeted it as a "mic drop" historic moment for women everywhere and then how last week they deleted it from their YouTube even as everyone was insisting G4 still backed it and her.)

The only thing anyone wants from G4 is more Icons (not the last season) and probably Cops/Man Show reruns: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icons_(TV_series)

Quote
Set in a world that celebrates videogame nostalgia, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia blends the complex systems and dark aesthetics of its Souls-like inspirations with a wicked tale told by a cynical narrator who jeers your attempts to save the world from a blight of pixelation at every turn. Delivering tough but fair combat, engaging narrative mechanics rich in lore and even an online co-op mode, The Last Hero of Nostalgaia draws on the best of the games that inspired it while delivering a humorous and innovative twist on the genre.

Nostalgaia is the world of videogames, and it’s collapsing backwards into a mysterious pixelation. Everything is fading away to nothing: even the memories of our proud, cherished video games are being lost. Now, with our fidelity all but gone, at the very brink of extinction, hope emerges to fight back.

As the most hideous pixelated hero to ever spawn in Nostalgaia, you must fight through an army of mindless inhabitants populating the degenerating world, all while absorbing the insults and putdowns of a narrator who despises your very existence.

I greatly dislike modern game trailers. That thing took a full minute to show actual gameplay footage
 
The gameplay looks really rough and even worse than Space Harrier 1. The animations aren't smooth and it's it looks about as good as the PS2 Space Harrier, the worst Space Harrier game of all time.

Not a good first impression.

Yeah, one reason I can't stand & skip most demos. Since they tend to be the start of the games which means sitting through 30 mins of cutscenes and tutorials just so you can fucking try the game for 60 seconds to see if it clicks.

I get why modern games have tutorials (because people are dumb and too lazy to read a manual or just trial & error figure things out) and why they have cutscenes at the start (to establish the "story" of the world and how you got to that point). But I think games would be better without both, or at least keep both to like 1-2 mins max.
