The game has been taken down from sale now and the 'developers' have begun scrubbing from existence. 201,000 copies sold and almost 92,000 refunds issued prior to Fntastic's closure. Very bizarre situation - whilst I did expect them to pull the plug early, I didn't foresee if occurring before Valve released the money to them. This opens the doors for store-wide no questions asked refunds back to anyone who bought the game irrespective of the existing refund policy and the developers likely wont even see a penny of the almost $3m holding. For them to quit before the first pay packet suggests either Valve were holding them to guarantees for a conditional release of the funds or they didn't want to embroil themselves in legality down the line. The evidence against them is beyond overwhelming and damning. IGN have also just released their review for the final kick in the teeth- first time I've seen them award a 1/10🤣 The Day Before Early Access Review - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Easily one of the worst games of 2023.

LMAO! The Day Before Studio Fntastic Announces Closure Just Days After Early Access Launch - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Mere days after The Day Before launched in early access, studio Fntastic has announced that it's closing: "The Day Before has failed financially, and we lack the funds to continue."

This upset so many COD developers it was bloody hilarious🤣

I'm seeing a lot of ''this game has soooo much potential'' lines from defenders yet there's less features and content than what was advertised in the pre-alpha 3 years ago. It's utterly extraordinary how deluded people are with things like this. It's not even like it's a game from a reputable developer - all their previous work has either been scams or abandoned. People just living off the nonsensical hype of the original fake trailer and other elements that were all plagiarised off legitimate games. Publishers laughing all the way to the bank.

Looks like the entire game was also build out of the Unreal Asset store American City Packs (Bundle) in Environments - UE Marketplace WWW.UNREALENGINE.COM The project includes a lot of high quality assets with everything that you need to create an American City. The city/architecture is based on New York City - NYC - Manhattan - Brooklyn. The buildings are... That's just one of the packs used but there's plenty more from foliage, interiors, vehicles and other small details. It's the sort of game you could clamber together for about £1500.

Only 13% positive now🤣

Game is currently sitting at 21% positive on Steam and most of those are meme reviews. Watched 30 minutes of gameplay so far and it's just an extraction shooter in the most empty world imaginable. 2 zombies and one person killed in the stream I saw and a whole lotta looting nothing. They are also using misleading fake gunshots to add ambience. No vehicles, no melee and barely any features that were showcased 3 years ago. Bigfry described it as WarZ but worse which says it all.

Off to a strong start😎

Today is the day! After almost 3 years of lies, deceit, plagiarism, asset flips, fake gameplay, amateur mistakes and a multitude of embarrassments, the game is finally out in early access for £33.50/$40. I am not expecting much and will have to catch some gameplay later. A surprise choice to also launch in Unreal 5 instead of the far more stable UE4. Unless the game has some significant features out the gate then this could be a poor move right from the off that causes unnecessary strain on optimisation for nothing in return.

They certainly can't be turning up in 2027 with the Creation Engine, 2D character interactions, visuals from 2012 and no facial animations again🤣 ES6 is probably still another 5+ years away - I get the impression from interviews that they announced it way too early and then let it take a backseat whilst they were halfway through Starfield development. After the reception this game got especially from a technical and outdated standpoint, they may go back to the drawing board because releasing another archaic and unambitious game later this decade will not sit well. Their reputation is beginning to wane and people ain't as forgiving.

60m views in 12 hours The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has smashed through 60 million YouTube views in 12 hours | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Y'all got any more of that once-in-a-lifetime reveal trailer?

Looks like the Jason character has had a slight redesign. Didn't see too much of him in the trailer but I assume he'll be a playable character like Lucia.

Real shame it wasn’t released as planned tomorrow but at least I don’t have to worry about finding a quiet 5 minutes at work! It would’ve been one hell of a global spectacle and many will go about their day tomorrow not knowing that’s it’s been out for 12+ hours already🤣 Trailer looks amazing and Rockstar never fail not to impress with their once in a generation games. Gutted it’s not 2024 and it could still be two years away but it will be worth the wait.

Bethesda developers have been working overtime all week responding to negative reviews and telling people they were wrong and how they didn't play the game right. Some of the responses seem really unhinged and remarkably out of touch. Here's one infamous take:- Some of Starfield’s planets are meant to be empty by design - but that's not boring. “When the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there. They certainly weren't bored." The intention of Starfield's exploration is to evoke a feeling of smallness in players and make you feel overwhelmed. You can continue to explore and find worlds that do have resources you need or hidden outposts to look through. Comparing a real-life moon landing which was one of the biggest achievements in the history of humanity to their shitty procedurally-generated copy and pasted planets to justify their emptiness is one of the most insane things I have ever heard from a developer. It's just one of many really weird responses. Surely they would thank the players for their feedback, understand the critique and take on board what has been said for future titles but no, they have to tell the players that they should not be bored because the game is 'realistic'. It's also a damning insight into their design philosophy through development.

The internet will break

Did this even get out of 'beta'? Activision Just Killed Call of Duty’s DMZ Mode — and No-One's Surprised - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Activision has announced Call of Duty DMZ will no longer receive new content updates, sounding the death knell for the mode. Half arsed support and a lack of monetisation opportunities for Activision. Shame because they could've done so much more to it with a dedicated team working on this mode.

That's a shame but somewhat expected under the recent circumstances.

This may be the most popular game out right now. Costs just £8.50 on Steam and is a sci-fi co-op horror game about scavenging moons and bases. 98% positive on Steam with 85,000 reviews and despite only 4,000 people playing last month, in November it's been up to 184,000 which is a huge blow-up - probably not quite on Among us levels but it's definitely gaining huge traction.

The 4th game is quite cutscene heavy plus it drags on massively towards the end. Still a great game but you have to be in the right mood to experience it. The trilogy are much better games overall - probably 6-10 hours and although they still focus on the story, it's not quite as prominent. Uncharted 4 took me about 25 hours and long before the end it began to outsay its welcome despite impressing in places.

I forgot about Delta Force which is kinda dumb as I've been following the upcoming new game just this week🤣 Another one is Operation Flashpoint which eventually would become Arma.

Ubisoft are blaming a ‘technical error’ after thousands of users experienced in-game ads popping up during their games. One user was greeted with a huge Assassin’s Creed Mirage banner when they opened the World map while conveniently playing AC Odyssey. The advert element scaled perfectly across the entire world map to the exact pixel for some users yet Ubisoft want us to believe this was some sort of ‘error’ lmao! They should come clean and just say they were trying something stupid for Black Friday and sorry for pissing everyone off. Other users were experiencing adverts appear during black screen transitions which adds a certain tackiness. This shit has been on the cards for years though and even Xbox are welcoming disruptive pop-ups upon starting the console of late but not for third party titles. I think 2K already do this for their casino basketball game but no surprises there. I remember revisiting Warzone back in 2020 and had 9 store pop-ups in the main menu before I could even start, but having your live game disrupted with a targeting advert sets a bad precedent. Thankfully it looks like Ubi have been left with egg on their face after a damning reception to this and their laughable excuse that nobody believes. Ubisoft blames Assassin's Creed in-game Black Friday pop-up ads on technical error WWW.EUROGAMER.NET Ubisoft has said that pop-up adverts seen last night within Assassin's Creed games have now been disabled, and...

Not bad, not bad at all. Not quite Chriss Brass quality but almost as good
