Crackdown multiplayer looks... ok, I guess? The destructability is neat but no neater than what I remember red faction to be like.

Man, the comparison of what Crackdown 3 currently looks vs. when they really started showing their "pre-alpha" footage is fucking brutal :lol

This is what it was supposed to look like btw:

if you watch the gamesradar clip you can see they almost entirely destroy the bottom of the one tower during the gameplay but AN INVISIBLE BARRIER establishes itself preventing any kind of toppling like in that pre-alpha :lol

Sony recently filed a patent that may suggest the PS5 will have full legacy BC. Patent being created by Cerny himself.  If this is indeed what this is implying, Sony could very well keep the lead in teh consull wharz.

Quote
Essentially, it allows the machine -- the PS5, in this case -- to mimic the behaviour of previous consoles using multiple processors. In other words, when an old game is booted up, the PS5 "tricks" the software into thinking that it's running on its original device.

I'll look up that EGM preview, and see if I can come across any other contemporary coverage of this.

I should setup an "ask benji" page on the blog where people can ask for loser research/investigations like this. Or actual looking into games themselves. Kinda like Hardcore Gaming 101 does.

Speaking of which, I just checked and they have a short article on Guardians of the 'Hood, albeit not much new that hasn't been in this thread: http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/guardians-of-the-hood/

This site has scans of the EGM article

https://www.unseen64.net/2008/10/11/pit-fighter-2-mdg-cancelled/
here's the full EGM page, i can make a way bigger one if it's too hard to read for anyone:

Dragon's Dogma 2 + Next Gen =  LESSDODISSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Quote
“So, when the discussion came up for Devil May Cry 5, I went to Kenzo [Kenzo Tsujimoto, Capcom founder] and I said… look, I want to make either Devil May Cry 5 or Dragon’s Dogma 2 next,” Itsuno told VG247 through a translator as part of a Devil May Cry 5 media tour. “He said ‘okay, do whatever you want. Do whichever one you want.’ So I thought, alright, y’know what… let’s do DMC5. So we did that.”
Quote
“I’ve always got maybe around four different titles in mind, maybe about four different ideas that I’d love to make. But there’s a difference between the titles that I’d love to make and the titles that I think I should make next. But here we are, we’re here, and… I’m already gearing up for my next project. We can’t say what it is, but we’re looking forward to getting to work on it.”
Quote
“Here we are – we’re now finishing up DMC5. But I had ideas for Dragon’s Dogma 2 at the time as well. So here we are, it’s the end of this project.” Itsuno grins.

Konami definitely, but SE? They've been having a great last few years... while I didn't care much for FFXV, a lot of people liked it well enough and it was a massive seller. KH3 has been getting lots of praise, and DQB, Nier: Automata, Octopath, and DQXI are some of my favorite games this gen. They've definitely improved since their awful last gen.

Looks like console gamers will finally get to play some good RPGs. :smug

The Infinity Engine UI is clunky af even with a keyboard and mouse, they're gonna have to drastically change it or else those games will be practically unplayable on console.

You should play the original: Divine Divinity. It's basically the early-00s Ultima that we never got. Plus, the soundtrack for it is fantastic:

The only Ultima I’ve actually ever played was Ultima 8.

I’ve thought several times about going back to play 7, since that seems to be the one most beloved, but not really sure how it would hold up today.

There's so much euro jank that hasn't made it anywhere, not even Gamersgate.

Look at this treasure trove:
http://legendsworld.net/shooter/news

I wish I could tell which of these are overambitious but charming little gems and which are irredeemable refuse. A lot of them have download links to 'full demos', so I might just probe around a bit. 👀 It's not like I have a pile of actually decent games to play or anything...

this is some really ambitious jank, it's like Dynasty Warriors but with all kinds of RPG elements that exist simply to perpetuate themselves you gain nothing from them, plus you setup the battles strategy at the same time as you're running around slashing people

Sunset Overdrive was XBOX exclusive but made by Insomniac. Sea of Thieves was trash and Crackdown looks like a fucking trainwreck.

I really enjoyed Quantom Break but that is mostly a Remedy game.
In any case none of these titles with the long development cycles seem to have been quite worth the investment.
