This is the real reason why we haven’t seen a new Splinter Cell. Can’t shoot out the lights, the technology is just lost to time.

Yeah, sure, the same way I made BL3 happen.

Wait until the DLC is all out and hit the high seas.

We’ll find out in Kingdom Hearts Ultimix Collection Vol 3, where what work was done will be stitched together into a 6-hour long movie.

Heavenly Sword walked so Stellar Blade could strut.

I feel like it makes sense for the planned market, but not outside of it. MMOs are generally more popular in China, from what I’ve seen.

Damn, surprised Hotline Miami made that little. It feels like it’s still a fairly well known indie title. Not Stardew Valley big, but large enough that people still refer to it occasionally.

If you put a spool of silk next to a harp, the fans would lose their absolute shit at this point.

We’ve been starving for awhile.

This is a really interesting question. In my opinion, absolutely yes. It’s a piece of someone’s hobby, a passion large or small. A time capsule of things that made someone happy.

Beyond that, in cases like the authors friends love of Sea of Thieves, it can show a bit of the community they sought, the people they interacted with. A small tendril of ourselves, reaching out and entwining with others.

And, for those who maybe only knew the person online, never had the chance or want for an in-person meetup, it’s a place to mourn. A digital marker of a life once lived, a finished book of memories. The games themselves may come and go, but the traces they left will be there, captured in achievements and screenshots, to be shared as long as a copy exists.

Good on them. Not that the last two DOOM titles have been short of excellent, in my opinion, but I’d rather lose the multiplayer if it means I get more of what makes DOOM, DOOM, an army of demons to slay and all the pretty toys to do it with.

It’s been 13 years. 3 released all the way back in the PS3/360 era.

Not complaining about more Ninja Gaiden. Just feels a bit weird to see 4 after what feels like the series was just left on hiatus. Kinda figure they’d take the chance to get a fresh start, though the plot seems like it’s more a soft reboot.

From the same series that has two volleyball games.

With a focus on “social” gifting including skimpier swimwear and suggestive posing.

With a story that revolves around a rich pervert wanting a bunch of young girls in bikinis running around.

It’s weird to think about an MMO getting a remaster. They’ve kinda just been “living” things that one day die, and maybe come back on a new engine under a slightly different name or return more aggressively monetized.

An ongoing series of soft relaunches with some minor branding changes.

“Will 2025 have less layoffs?”

Gestures broadly at industry trends

No.

How many studios are about to be sacrificed to balance the scales for this?

You have activated one of my hyper fixations(people who do hour+ essays on the most useless of shit). If you can handle the occasional 1-3 hours of a monotone voice, Davey is actually a lot of fun.

One of my favorites, his list of war crimes featured in the Pokedex. He’s also done StarCraft stuff(obviously), Balloons Tower Defense, and a few other things. He also doesn’t really post terribly often. It can take months for him to record and edit a project down, and he normally has 2 or more going at once.

Bonus: You’ll get to learn about Bug. Bug is a good boy. We love Bug.

Terraria keeps having “last” updates.

It’s better to accept that during the heat death of the universe, someones going to be pushing out one last big update.

What about the fuse boxes? I see the other fixes, but what about all the goddamn fuse boxes‽

You can do it right this time, please cut out some of that monotony.

Is Gearbox just ultra-sympathetic to their fans(not calling this a bad thing, I genuinely hope they are) or does getting diagnosed with a terminal illness make you go “Y’know what? Fuck it”.

Cause I feel like when I read “terminally ill fan”, it’s either about when Blizzard gave a fuck about their players, or Borderlands.

Looks like they’re at least they’re blaming themselves on this one, from what it sounds like. A lack of marketing, and failure to generate buzz.

Its only been 13 years?

I can’t tell if I feel old, or need to figure out how the fuck 100 years has passed in 13.
