And it still has a thriving competitive scene more than 25 years later.

In fact, ASL (the biggest SC tournament) is going on right now!

Fingers crossed that Rift gets a similar revival… the game whose initial success paid for Defiance in the first place

Escape will make me God

Other than the setting, this was the only reference to the original trilogy that I spotted, and man… the way it’s used here is just so disconnected from what made that line iconic and cool. I was cautiously optimistic before, but the media blitz they did today has completely killed any hope I had for the Marathon IP.

Dancing through the wreckage of a beloved Bungie IP, Durandal was laughing fuming.

Hades 2 is only console exclusive to the Switch 2; it’s also releasing on Steam.

I suspect that Nintendo is offering them more than enough money for exclusivity to make it no longer ‘questionable’ for Supergiant, at least from a financial perspective.

Shouldn’t you be laughing?

Yes, and lawmakers should also do away with all safety regulations! Workers can simply quit jobs that they feel are unsafe!

detailed realism

Did we watch different trailers? lmao

Adblockers are your friend.

This was inevitable as soon as games started getting the budgets of blockbuster movies. No one wants to invest that much money into a project without getting some oversight and control in return.

Of course, very, very few people who have access to that kind of cash have any design sense whatsoever, and even fewer understand the creative process, or what makes games “good”… so they ask for shit that they think will be “safe” money-makers, and we get what we get: endless, samey, soulless shlock.

because IT sector wouldn’t have all it’s eggs in one basket that might break if one guy leaves or dies.

Whooooooooboy, that has not been my experience in tech!

It’s entirely possible these aren’t real players, but are actually some kind of automated testing scripts or service monitors that someone forgot (or just never cared) to turn off before getting sacked, running on a forgotten QA box somewhere deep in the bowels of Sony.

Honestly, I’d love to see games set in the Alien universe that have absolutely nothing to do with the aliens. The whole design concept for the original movie was “truckers in space”. So where’s my space trucking game?

At least horse armor was good for the memes. This is so bland no one even cares to meme about it.

TBH, I really wish he would’ve just shut up and let the gameplay breathe for a while. They started the showcase explaining how this game isn’t going to hold your hand, but then spent the next fifteen minutes over-explaining every little detail, lol

No Dark Souls?

Shame! Shame!

Epic vs Steam isn’t much of a turf war as far as the fans are concerned. Everyone universally hates the Epic Games Store and loves Steam. The only reason EGS has so many timed exclusive is because Epic pays out the nose for them.

Can’t find your game? We’ve tried to include all games that make it into the top 200 on the App Store charts.

This appears to only cover mobile games. I’d love to see something similar for PC/console releases…

Did someone say [Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker]?
