It’s not much but it’s the first footage of the game
-
Made by the same designer behind Limbo and Inside I believe. I'll definitely consider picking this up at some stage.

This looks one of the better YouTuber games and it's being made with good ethics. Although I'm not interested in it as of yet, it's sure way more deserving that Dr Disrespect's DeadDrop shite.

Either it's been cancelled or development has radically changed making the original trailers and announcements moot. It's highly likely not the latter Renewed Concern for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake as Trailers and Tweets Are Culled - IGN WWW.IGN.COM There is renewed concern for the status of the troubled Star Wars: The Old Republic remake after fans spotted trailers and other promotional material was pulled from the internet.

I'd also have to say Watch Dogs 2. The game was somewhat tainted by the sheer disappointment of the original plus the general dislike of Ubisoft especially at the time. It's actually an incredibly fun game that looks amazing, has lots of highly entertaining missions plus the AI is incredibly dynamic and alive. It's an absolute travesty that they didn't follow this standard up with Legion and have probably killed of the series altogether. As said above, Days Gone is another I forgot about. Had a miserable reception at launch on PS4 due to various woes and when it was fixed, many users had already moved on. I took a punt when it arrived on PC and thought it was a remarkable game and a very rare instance where I never got tired of the open world and was left wanting after I finished it. The hordes are very impressive from a technical standpoint and the game is mechanically on-par with TLOU. Absolutely scandalous Sony cancelled the sequel. -
They had a big 6 hour test yesterday apparently. Too bad they decided to have it during CS2's release and that clearly impacted player counts and interest. This game is in danger of being swamped especially with MW3 round the corner.

Just finished the DLC after just shy of 6 hours and for £8 it's a remarkable return. Although there are a few familiar areas, there is plenty of entertaining combat encounters and few new mechanics. The story is a really nice alternative perspective that fills in holes and sits side by side with Leon's progress. You see him a few times and can always work out where the narrative is between both characters. Incredible value for money especially when you have cocks like Activision charging £24.99 for some stupid coloured gun and ghastly skin.

More Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways

Xbox definitely has never been in any control of the market even against niche Nintendo. PS2 is still to this day the biggest selling console of all time and every PlayStation console has sold substantially more than the 360 by tens of millions of units. Even the PSP sold 3x the rate of the original Xbox. The one thing Sony has always achieved was its relentless dominance over Microsoft in the past 30 years. The only things they got wrong IMO was the backwards compatibility and shitty online service but even then, it didn’t harm them at all.

CS2 launched last night - bit disappointed they completely overwrote CSGO including achievements and data and also haven’t provided a legacy client. Did have a quick butchers this morning and it’s incredibly beautiful and smooth but they defo should’ve not wiped GO from existence. I was expecting a watered-down version to remain at least.

Anyone still involved in this? In the last week or so, viewership has dropped below Diablo 2 and 3 to between 400-1300, plus several popular Diablo-focused content creators have not only stopped playing this game, but have also seemingly departed the series. Haven't been following much since post-launch but it seems things have gone from bad to worse and Blizzard has been making some rather bizarre and unworkable design choices. I was looking to jump into the game at some stage but it does seem in a really bad place right now and I'm not sure if they will be able to turn it around.

I still remember the day when PC games made the transition to DVD cases. I was so used of having a big box with fat manuals and suddenly games were releasing in a plastic box with barely a few bits of paper inside. I think Max Payne was the first game I bought like this. Deux Ex was probably the last big box edition I got. The industry got so lazy, even the Gamecube mini-discs came in some full-on DVD case too!

Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways DLC
-
I think Sony will try and retain physical for a long as possible until the developers themselves deem it non-viable. It depends on the production costs and margins with wholesale retail in relation to the PS Store cut Sony take plus general demand. Not many retailers left on the high street now and those don't want to buy into dead stock. To be honest, games are mostly so shit these days, there's not many worth getting a physical for anyway and even then, the disc is worthless by virtue of a game needing a mandatory update to execute. I think the PS3/360 was the last worthwhile generation for collectibles and with Microsoft trying to kill off physical for the past 9 years and Playstation only having a few tangible exclusives worth picking up physically, it's basically curtains.

I'm pretty sure it's the same guy who around a decade ago, once proposed that players PAY to reload their weapon in Battlefield i.e buy ammo on the go at the press of a button when in a match. One of the greediest and disgusting ideas imaginable. Surprised Activision didn't hire him but I guess he was too scummy even for them.

Played about 5 hours of 2.0 and still undecided as to whether to get the DLC. They've definitely done a good job with fixing the base game and I'm sure the expansion with the complimented improvements is very good but I'm not sure if I'll even bother progressing the main game let alone beginning the Phantom Liberty story. I still feel for all the perks and RPG elements, this is a far too linear game for it to really make a difference. Sure you can do a few variable builds but it doesn't radically change how you approach or complete missions aside from perhaps the combat method and hacking a few things. At its core, this game will always be first and foremost an adventure game in an open world rather than an RPG. They can add all the padding they want but it will never shake off the linear and very basic design.

Having something like this in the free western world would be pure dystopian hell. Digital currency is already a big part of the world but that is always based on real hard currency which is still tangible and exchangeable plus it's accepted in almost every single domain. Nothing with change in that respect and governments wouldn't endorse things like NFT's as recognised currency because digital serials of pictures and other tat don't pay bills. It will always remain as underground money that is only garnered from the exchange of what was recognised currency anyway.

Finally Ubisoft use their brains! The first two games had their disappointments but were both very impressive titles especially in terms of scale and attention to detail. I couldn't believe it when they decided to go the F2P route with Heartlands and have a mobile version. Thankfully if they are doing a new mainline game then that's all that matters.
-
Had a brief go at the 2.0 update having not played since 2020 and the game is massively refined since then with a host of improvements. The general UI seems much cleaner too which was crucial, but the really irritating phone bloat is still there and I still utterly loathe some of the sound effects which seem ingrained into the base game. Haven't tested out the police system yet though. I'll give it a few hours more and the make a decision on whether to continue and possibly get the expansion on top. Game looks and runs absolutely amazing

Looks like Microsoft have a new console pencilled in for 2028 which will be the next gen.
-
And the other 5% is absolute trash like Logan Paul laundering money via NFT's with his junkie buddies in that LA cesspool which is the only reason they have real money 'value'.

Expansion is live now and confirmed at just £7.99!

Phantom Liberty has been getting some good reviews today. CDPR once again are preventing the media from releasing their own footage but it seems to be a better experience which is further bolstered with the 2.0 patch. It's frustrating that we can't actually see it in raw action but at least users will be given the chance to play the new version before deciding on whether to invest in the expansion. I'm kinda in two minds minds as to whether I should even re-install it just to try but I may give it a go and it could even see me buy into the DLC if the game is radically improved. A part of me simply can't be arsed though!

Probably avoid the Switch version
