Hitman 3 (2021)

Hitman 2 (2018)

I saw a post a few weeks ago on what the game would actually look like without any of the stolen assets and it looks like some gigantic placeholder. The amount of stuff they lifted is absolutely insane and makes up virtually the entire games stylised aesthetics. I believe they are still auditing their asset library and the amount of stuff they will have to replace from scratch is crazy. Without the stolen material, they literally have no brand or game.

Bungie have today announced that Marathon has been delayed indefinitely and a new release date will be issued towards the end of the year. Honestly, I'd probably just cancel it altogether and cut the losses. A 6 month delay at the very least wont give them enough time to replace all the stolen assets, reshape the gameplay into something engaging and appealing, plus deliver a long-term strategy where the game remains viable for both players and publisher.

Looks like Sony started issuing no questions asked refunds. Also Cohh's sponsored stream was cancelled at the last minute to avoid further humiliation for the publishers. System-wide refunds may be on the cards and this could be another write-off.

Out on PC today and there is already a demo available. Plays like a cross between Metal Gear Rising, Devil May Cry and Dark Souls. Presentation is excellent and it runs smooth. Definitely tempted to grab it as the demo was enjoyable.

I ventured into the forum and saw a few suspects who pre-ordered The Day Before previous, who were literally bumming the game. Don't know why people have a fetish in buying into shit games and defending products they literally have no idea about. Leslie Benzies is pretty washed in the industry now and was blinded by NFT's and Crypto so the GTA and Blockchain bollocks probably got a few deluded people on board but any proper gamer with a brain could see this was absolute slop nonsense with no substance.

As expected, this game is shite. The fact that the publisher tried to convince everyone that the bad reception prior to launch was Rockstar bots causing disarray becomes even more hilarious. 40% positive on Steam, about 1200 reviews and no more than 3.5k players and falling massively. It's also emerged that this was once-part of a NFT platform which would explain a lot as the game does remember part-asset flip and part ulterior motive.

It's got some good ratings on Steam from its early access period and has a decent number of players. The finished game looks more refined but still seems a bit bland. I will probably keep my eye on it to see how it plays out once the rest get their hands on it tomorrow.

I think Black Ops 7 is supposed to have wallrunning and all that mumbo jumbo. The franchise does need a bit of a shake-up even if it does go back to that unpopular type of mechanics. It's just a shame they have to bleed the brands to death because they can't be creative and come up with something fresh.

Looks like Microsoft are entering the handheld market with a ROG Ally-branded device in partnership with ASUS. Xbox is no longer a console, it's a platform, and it's already entered a battle for control over your handheld gaming PC | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Xbox is becoming more like PC and Windows is becoming more like Xbox... is Microsoft looking to muscle SteamOS out of the way? Could be another interesting option especially as Valve's Steam Deck is restricted at retail-level but price will be a huge factor here. Hands-On With the Xbox Ally X, the New Gaming Handheld from Asus and Microsoft - IGN WWW.IGN.COM The Xbox handhelds are coming Holiday 2025 and they're impressive, but many questions still remain.

These games always get discounted early on - usually after 4 weeks the 'premium' edition reduces to that of the base game price and then a month or so after that you can usually get 33% off the standard. By the time the football season starts you can grab it for half price and then it's 75% off going into the new year. It's a great purchase after Christmas although the game is on its last legs at that stage but it's still great value. EA just bank on people to buy into it within the first month when things are fresh and everyone is playing. I'll probably grab this for under a tenner next January just for the single player.

Confirmed. Honestly, what a load of crap. As if the franchise isn't stale enough, let's release a sequel back-to-back off the back of a game that people already seem to hate. Can't one of these imbecile studios come out with something that isn't Black Ops or Modern Warfare now? If we get Black Ops 8 in 2026 then I'm giving up gaming.

Should be good! Now give us a Code Veronica remake and that’ll keep me happy for the next few years

I watched Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning the other day and enjoyed it. I did think the film was a bit long though and it was bloated with too many characters and poorly written exposition. Some strong character performances especially from the villains and the action was plentiful.

PSG absolutely battered Inter tonight! I can't see Spurs posing much threat for the Super Cup Final so much work is needed. Inter just didn't turn up and PSG were totally on it. I really like how they continued to press and try to score more goals - sick of seeing some teams shut up shop with half hour to spare. Could've been 8-0 if Barcola could for once hit the target.
-
Not surprised by the mixed reviews - really silly concept and I will never understand what they were going for. I think some of the positive reviews are reaching but they are too scared to give it a lower score in fear of a backlash.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sells 3.3 million copies in 33 days, in case you needed any more evidence we're living in a simulation | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM 33.3 percent, recurring, of course, chance of good sale figures.

This game is out in a couple of weeks and is in its last big publicity drive - it seems to be The Day Before meets GTA or some crap. There's been a few heavily scripted gameplay trailers which have looked generic as hell and according to testers, the game in its current state is monumentally bugged whereby cheats have to be enabled to bypass missions and bugged scenes. The game seems to be playing on the fact this is directed by washed ex Rockstar big shot Leslie Benzies but everything about it screams cheap asset flip. There's still hope that things could change but it's not looking very encouraging so far.

I think it's Sony pulling the strings and calling the shots. Kinda defies belief that they thought Concord and Marathon would be two massive online service hits🤣 It's also weird that they've chose to leech off of Bungie's sci-fi trilogy of the 90's for this guff and not do something original or a stronger classic brand maybe in the Destiny universe. Also just seen Marathon has an art book in the works - wonder if they will pull this seeing that a large part of their work (including part of the cover art) has been lifted from an 8 year old Twitter post. The game will cost £35-$40 which is the final nail in the coffin.
