The Last of Us Part Two is almost certainly not going to be as good as Hotline Miami though

gameplay seems potentially neat, something about the art/animation reminds me of those facebook ads for mobile games though

Yeah it sounds like this is the actual reveals show
https://www.gamesradar.com/future-games-show/

"The Future Games Show, meanwhile, is a new showcase of the best console, streaming and mobile games from GamesRadar+. Hosted by Nolan North and Emily Rose, the stars of the Uncharted series, you'll see over 40 games, including seven world premieres and some surprises from developers including Square Enix, Modus Games, Team 17, Curve Digital and more. As the name suggests, the Future Games show will feature a special spotlight on the future of gaming - with insight from key development figures in areas such as visuals, audio, machine learning and storytelling - to create a clearer picture of what we can expect from PS5 and Xbox Series X going forwards"

I didn't download Celeste off the itch.io bundle because I think that style of platformer sucks incredibly hard

I downloaded other lovely garbage instead

I played a bit of End is Nigh, which is a platformer that requires super precise jumping to thread a very narrow path through the level. That sucked, that kind of platformer is terrible. Is that what Celeste is?

when anyone outside of japan says "bullet hell" it always turns out to be what they imagine that to mean rather than having actually played one themselves

End is Nigh is good actually.

Celeste requires a lot of precision, yes. If you don't like that sort of thing you'll find it incredibly frustrating (although there are enough accessibility options to make it doable).

It's become a colloquial term for anything where you have to be constantly aware of your position and stay out of danger zones I guess. :shrug:

End is nigh is good

Celeste is more loosy-goosy than ein but it still expects you to be able to do quick, tight maneuvers.

Mythical Games gets another bag of money for Blankos Block Party
Posted on November 30, 2019 by Nederob
Blockchain-oriented games developer Mythical Games has received another big bag of money to work on their upcoming user-generated content party game Blankos Block Party. The studio now has a total of 35 million dollars in funding. This month they raised $19 million, after getting $16 million in 2018. However, their upcoming blockchain-powered game Blankos Block Party is still quite a big mystery.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


They're really scraping the barrel with some of these Future of Gaming reveals. I think this is even less interesting than the PC show.
