'Probably one of the worst launches of all time': Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection players tear into Aspyr for bugs, crashes, and 3 64-player launch servers for nearly 10,000 users | PC Gamer
WWW.PCGAMER.COM The Classic Collection was meant to bring balance to Battlefront, not destroy it.  

Game has released and it's sitting at just 21% positive right now. Looks like a very low-effort re-release and a very expensive one too. Netcode and input lag issues seem to be the biggest complaint. The modded originals that you could've got anytime for a fiver in the last 15 years look way better.

Agreed.  I think Sony is just trying to squeeze more money out of it before a sequel is announced.

New update has dropped, think there's some youtuber hands-on gameplay coming this weekend too
 
 

Our podcast partner, Adrian has been digging it lately.  I may grab it at some point if it goes on sale.

Great news!

Would never have expected this. £36 for the trilogy though is quite heavy especially when you could pick up the collection for £5 back in 2014 on PC. Then there's the extensive modding scene which has proven to be essential and so beneficial over the years. I think £6.99 each would've been a far better pricepoint and you can run these games literally on a toaster.

Rather than increasing capacity, it seems they are more focused on reducing AFK players instead, so the lousy player cap will remain. 
 
Players are getting ripped off right left and centre with PS+ and the one time Sony's extended online services are required, they bottle it. 
 
Seriously have to question what gamers are paying for because Playstation Online is built off of 95% of other companies services.

This is a great little game that's coming out in a couple of weeks on the 20th to Steam and Playstation. Basically a roguelike deck-builder poker game where you strategically play hands, earn power-ups and other elements to increase your multi and defeat the blinds. Played about half hour yesterday and it works pretty well and its nice to see a poker game especially one with a unique twist.
 

C&C Collection now added to Steam plus more

They certainly enjoy milking DLC - Snowrunner has 4 season passes at £22 each whereas the original Mudrunner had 3 free map DLC's and an expansion that cost £9. Snowrunner is basically a shell and if you wanted the entire experience it would've cost about £105 and even then large parts of the game remain neglected or unfinished.  
 
Expeditions seems really watered-down especially coming off the back of Snowrunner and even the OG Mudrunner so it'll probably cost another £90 on top to get all the upcoming DLC's if not even more. 

This game looks a bit downgraded and simplified even compared to Snowrunner. I do like how they’ve done something new with the theme but it all looks a bit unspectacular when compared to lugging some serious cargo in the likes of Spintires and the original Mudrunner. Expeditions looks a bit straightforward and arcadey which is great for newcomers but veterans may be a little put-off. Since Snowrunner, the realism has taken a bit of a knock too and this one looks even more basic so I’m really on the fence but I do like the alternative theme.

Yep, plus the mods that put all three games together are free, you don't even need to have any of the games anymore as they're in the mod files 🤪
Weird how this just dropped without any publicity but I'll be interested to find any console reviews and what kind of improvements have been made.

Did not see this coming and out now apparently...
