Yes, I'm very offended by a baby hot take formed from a handful of mascot games, Playstation press conferences and GameFAQ console wars. Like after a toddler calling me doodoo head, I am very triggered. Either way, have fun with that goofy Witcher show, as we know that this kind of deep material would be impossible to adapt into a video game.

Money well spent, Sony.   :wow

I guess at least they're acknowledging that Kratos is the shittiest of parents... it was hard enough to "relate" to him because of how shitty of a father he is.  Joel at least had well developed fatherly reasoning.   If GOWR is meant to be a fatherly repentance of sorts for Kratos, it doesn't take away that Atreus was never a likeable kid in the first place.  Almost felt shoehorned in.  It's dumb they went this way for such a franchise which has always been intended as action spectacles, nothing more.

Hell, Sony would've been better off bringing back Syphon Filter and have Gabe Logan be a father and you go all-out on a Liam Neeson style thriller akin to TAKEN.

It had ~200 employees and released a single mobile game over the last six years. Who would even care about this news but he tweets it as a scoop? :lol

https://twitter.com/pcgamer/status/1583610106180431873
I don't get the headline or the line in the article "its overall market capitalisation was overtaken late last month by—of all things—Kweichow Moutai, a Guizhou-based firm specialising in the production of Maotai rice wine", liquor companies are very valuable, this Chinese one seems to be nearly as large as Microsoft. Seagram's once was so large of corporation it owned MCA (aka Universal Studios) and part of DuPont among a bunch of other random things.

Quote from: the article
Maybe Tencent should just pivot into liquor production.

...

Not bad for what is now only China's second most valuable company.
Would they write this article if Microsoft swapped rankings with someone like happens constantly? I doubt it.

So the Front Mission 1 remake trailer is out tomorrow with the release at the end of the month. I was under the impression that these FM1 & 2 remakes were going to be budget ass by some D developer, but I guess I missed this video of Front Mission 2 remake gameplay?



Because that looks...pretty solid. Fairly quick and looks very decent enough 3d in a FM4/FM5 way (but a bit less detailed). I guess these FM1/2 remakes could be good after all?

We've reached the point where upping the resolution no longer matters  :doge

8K? Can barely clock the difference between 1440p and 4K. Think with post processing AA solutions softening the image and hiding shimmering details, it literally blurs the lines once it reaches a point. (At least with a 27 inch monitor and 55 inch TV)

So the FM1 trailer doesn't look quite as good.



I looked into this and basically Forever Entertainment is a publisher (Panzer Dragoon Remake / House of the Dead Remake) that has licensed the old Front Mission games from SE and within Forever Entertainment, different developers are doing the FM1, FM2 and FM3 remakes. Each game has a different developer. So quality may vary between them.

Apparently SE has nothing to do with these games. They just licensed them out for a few bucks.

Hmmm...dunno, will wait for reviews I guess for each of them. FM1 remake doesn't look bad, but the FM2 trailer definitely looks better.

Square can't make these games with their internal staff, it wouldn't get a return on investment. But people paying them to use the license may re-invigorate a property which has been a fan favorite. If any of these hit, it's a win for S-E.

PG Classics:
Bayonetta 1/2, Vanquish, Metal Gear Rising

Pretty good:
Nier Automata, Astral Chain

Good:
Transformers Devastation, Anarchy Reigns

Better than it should be:
Legend of Korra

Meh:
Star Fox Zero, Wonderful 101 (should revisit someday to reevaluate)

Unplayable due to controls:
Madworld

Dogshit:
TMNT

Never played:
Babylon’s Fall, Infinite Space, Sol Cresta, World of Demons? (Whatever their mobile game is called)

Don’t think I missed any of them. I still like Platinum overall  :idont

Updating this post a bit. After beating Bayonetta 3 (I replayed B1/2 right before it), felt the urge to play some other PG games. Ended up playing the remastered version of W101 which I kickstarted, and also played through TMNT (lol) which I never went past the first level before.

New ranking categories:-

Decent (but super fucking messy and not tuned/polished as much as it should, otherwise it’d be fairly good):
Bayonetta 3, W101

Meh (but could’ve been fun if it had 4P split screen):
TMNT

I ended up rewatching a system explanation by an old character action games legend called Saurian if anyone here knew or remembers him. That helped me wrap my head around W101’s combat system since the actual game explains jackshit. Had a lot more fun than the first time around because of that, but much of the same issues I originally had with it were still there so I didn’t enjoy it as much as I would’ve liked.

TMNT is actually not too shitty if you judge it by PS2 licensed game standards. Where it fails is that unlike said PS2 licensed games, it doesn’t have local co-op annoyingly. That definitely would’ve elevated it to something fun to waste an evening with the brehs. Amusingly, I think the online servers for it are still up despite the game being delisted for years now. Can’t say with 100% certainty though.

I’ll probably replay Transformers right before GOW:R comes out. Don’t see it changing rankings though. Really enjoyed it back in the day.

The whole Kaiju concept is still fun enough, but it really needed good hardware to shine. If this was still Scalebound and on something like Xbone SX, it could've really felt like the next logical step for P*. But by looking like a mid Xbox 360 game (worse in some areas), the spectacle of B3 can't come fully across and it feels more like a typical "third game gimmick". Like in those PS2 trilogies back in the day 'Ratchet 3: Summon the monsters!'.

They're obviously designed around sawnix gameplay with a dash (pun intended) of Phantasy Star or Journey. 

Seems to be getting good reviews overall so far.  Solid 7-8's mostly with some 9's sprinkled in too.  Personally, not sure if I can justify the $60 price ATM, but I'd rather pay Sega full price for a game than Sony's wiggity woke western studio doodoo.

Game looks like real 3D Sonic trash to me. I havent played a 3D Sonic game I enjoyed, ever.

Bland enviroments, 'Breath of the wild' inspired but nowhere close in regards to mood, atmosphere, cohesive world, interesting gameplay.

How anyone could give it a 9 is beyond me

SA1 & 2 were pretty great...Honestly, I haven't played a 3D sownic since those...  This looks to be almost a proper SA3 to me.

I played SA1 and 2. They arent great, they are 100% mediocre. And I was a huge Dreamcast/Sega fanboy back in the day. Those games were ass with only a few good stages.

The Sega thirst was pretty real for me then.  :tocry  Playing SA for the first time was practically a Mario 64 moment for me.  But then again, the hype was trill when it came to the generational leap from Saturn to DC.  Damn, I miss those days.   Needless to say, I just still want a proper Sega redemption, but the days of Sonic could be gone for me... I dunno.  As much as I loved Sonic 1-3, I wasn't feeling Mania.  As good of a 2D Sonic it is, like Shenmue, they just need to remain in the past and settle where their trail blaze ended.

Speaking of Sega, as much as I would've said I want a proper Phantasy Star 5 or a Panzer Dragoon Remake, they'd never live up to the expectations now having waited this long.  :stahp

I have such low expectations of 3d Sonic games, that when a Sonic game has a MC in the 70s I'm like "wow, that's surprising (in a good way)"

Still not touching 3d Sonic games with a 10 foot pole.

I mean given the series history, I'd count a 73 MC as a "good 3d Sonic" game.

2D sonic is shit enough. No one needs to subject themselves to 3D sonic.
