It could've been 2pts but now the gap is 13pts just 5 days later! Arsenal should put all their efforts into the Champions League now but their lack of firepower wont get them very far even against PSV. Not signing anyone in January was fatal and although they've been unlucky with injuries, they should've brought a couple in even on short term loans for the rest of the season. A weaker strike force is better than none.

Just finished the original Dino Crisis and what a remarkable game! I was taken aback at how challenging it is in comparison with Resident Evil - combat is tough and the puzzles are incredibly hard at times. You need a pad and pen at hand just for codes and remembering certain solving techniques! It's refreshing to play such a rewarding and difficult game and it puts into perspective how easy games are now and even how basic the iconic RE games were for its puzzles. Great story and I also like how there are choices you can make which change your route/objectives like in Resident Evil 3. Wish there was more weapons but on the whole it's a superb experience

I've also just voted for Driver 1 and 2. There is an unofficial port for the sequel on PC called ReDriver with lots of QoL fixes but I'd love to see both games get revived for retail. Played both on the PS1 back in the day and they were both legendary particularly the original but the texture pop-up was pretty horrendous.

They use AI to 'help develop' in-game assets on their billion dollar franchise. After over a year of accusations and months of persistent denials, thanks to a Steam Store change requiring developers and publishers to disclose such things, the truth has finally been revealed. Call of Duty admits it's using generative AI to 'help develop some in-game assets', and suddenly all those poorly made calling cards make sense | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM "Disappointingly, I just grinded for an AI-generated calling card." So people are further shelling out £25 a season for generic rewards that were made by a machine and not crafted by an art team. Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if we soon found out that the map layouts were done by AI too because no human would've been idiotic enough to design half the maps BO6 has with intent. Also gun camos will probably soon fall under the spotlight as people aren't going to let this go easily without more answers. Calling cards were always a pretty iconic part of the series and I used to love unlocking them through challenges especially from MW2 to BO2. This news for me just taints the franchise even further and you just can't trust what you're playing has been produced legitimately and to the best standard possible.

Pivotal weekend of results - Arsenal were expected to go 5pts behind with a game in hand on Liverpool who were expected to lose today. Instead the gap is 11pts as Liverpool beat city and Arsenal lose to West Ham. You thought the tide was turning with Liverpool dropping 4pts on their travels and barely scraping past Wolves, but Arsenal's lack of recognised strikers and some severe out of form players like Saliba and Odegaard has put them way off the pace and you can see them dropping more points in the weeks to come. Villa managed to sign Rashford and Asensio which is exactly what Arsenal could've done with and they ended up with nothing despite being second in a title race. Could be one of the most fatal mistakes in Premier League history and it's not the first time they've failed to build in January.

Dino Crisis (PC)

Bloody loved Days Gone but not sure if it warrants a remaster. Thankfully it's only a £10 upgrade but I don't know how much of a 'remaster' it's going to be and if the content included is what you'd expect from a free update rather than a paid upgrade. I had the game on PC and there's no sign of this re-releasing but I can honestly see them replacing the original and then raising the price.

I've watched quite a lot of gameplay of this and I'm really not sure what they are trying to achieve. It's only a technical test but there's no in-game communication and the gameplay framework is just strange. Conceptually it seems like a fan made mod and the way it's executed doesn't feel do dissimilar either. Gonna keep my eye on it regardless but I'm not sure if this will sit well with the majority especially for £40. The Souls modding scene is pretty huge and you see creators producing 25-40 hour campaigns for Dark Souls 1 and 3 with everything built from scratch and with Shadow of the Erdtree not being as well-received either, it feels like they are souring things.

I can see Blackburn making it this year especially with all the teams behind being unable to string more than one with together! It'll be tough because there are 4 teams that are probably too good for this league meaning two will be in the playoffs but if Rovers can hold on, anything can happen. Wonder if Eustace will apply for his old job back now🤣
-
Eustace is currently 4-0 down to QPR in his first game. They could be rock bottom come tomorrow and after those games are finished, other teams in and around will still all have a game in hand over them too. They've even fallen into the drop zone tonight with nobody else playing by virtue of goal difference alone. He's got a monumental task on his hands and if he can't keep them up, he'll have a huge job on his hands trying to craft a League One side out of what he's got and what they'll have to spend.

Not too impressed with what I've seen of this. Seems to be riddled with bugs, jank and looks like hideous UE5 asset slop. They should stick to their polished range of CPRG's rather than keep trying to relive the glory days of their New Vegas one hit wonder.

Overwatch 2 Spotlight - Is this Overwatch 2.5 or 3?
J4MES OX4D replied to GazzaGarratt's topic in Overwatch
Too late in the day for me. Overwatch was absolutely brilliant years ago and even lootboxes were done well. The level of polish, progression and nature of the gameplay were all top tier and they even proved that you don't need a campaign to deliver an abundance of engaging lore. The developers neglected the hell out of it (and we all know why) and Overwatch 2 was a needless sequel that cancelled the campaign, made progression absolute torture and also performed gameplay changes that people didn't like. They are only doing this now because of Marvel Rivals and not for the community but they can see how much money there still is in this market. The damage is already done for me and it feels that original era is long gone. Now they are just chasing any last shreds they can get their hands on by doing stuff they should've done 7 years ago. None of this makes up for any of the broken promises and that includes the single player campaign which should've also been done instead of trying to save money. -
GOG have recently released a new voting tool to help them decide what games to hopefully revive and bring to the platform DRM free. If you have an account, you can simply upvote any game you want to see or even submit your own request. We've seen lately the first two Resident Evil games and Dino Crisis 1+2 return and there are so many other classics like the Silent Hill games that could do with making a return. /dreamlist//apple-touch-icon.png GOG Dreamlist | GOG.COM WWW.GOG.COM Explore our Dreamlist, vote for games you hope to see on GOG and contribute to game preservation! I have primarily voted for:- - Black and White - No One Lives Forever - Project IGI - Diablo II - Silent Hill 2 - Silent Hill - Resident Evil Code Veronica X - Halo Combat Evolved - The Simpsons Hit and Run - Grand Theft Auto - Civilization II - The Movies - Dark Souls - Grand Theft Auto London Not every game can be brought back due to intellectual property complexities along with source codes being lost but some PC classics could easily be revived not just to be DRM free, but also be fully functional out of the box thanks to what GOG do with forwarding optimisation. This would also be the original versions and not some remastered garbage.

Elden Ring Nightreign release date set for May, will cost $40 | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM The co-op spinoff is coming sooner than I would've guessed.

I'm shocked Eustace would trade a playoff push for a relegation battle. If he thinks Derby is the best bet going forward then that is a worry for Blackburn but I just wonder if he's using it as an excuse to force a move through. I thought Rovers had a decent window in January and I get he has ties to Derby but it just seems a crazy move especially with them being in a terrible place in the league and off the field.

It's a good job Sony are back-peddling on the PSN requirement for some of their PC games now. This was announced prior to this latest outage but it just goes to prove that such things just hamper their games and gamers alike. Imagine not being able to play a single player game on PC which is already DRM protected by Steam, just because Playstation is down once more. 5 days free PSN is also a peculiar reward seeing that most people compensated will be rolling PSN members regardless. Doesn't make sense really. With a range of Microsoft games coming to PS5 soon like Halo and Forza Horizon 5, incidents like these will become even more embarrassing for them.

Sega will definitely be fuming especially with the licencing costs they are shipping for what will be nothing this year! They'll also be furious that there isn't a contingency plan in place i.e have an annual update on the side, which they can charge a smaller amount for but at least it'll keep money coming in and people happy. Konami did the same for their final paid eFootball game before they transitioned to a new engine and a F2P model and that worked pretty well and they were also honest about what was going on and what would be in the final product. Definitely should've been in place especially with the amount of high-risk changes and updates they were doing for FM25 and you just can't get away with delays or non-releases in annual franchises. A rare but extremely costly mistake from SI games. Not a travesty for the community though as a database mod update will do the job but it's disappointing none the less.
