Nah it's still on, just in development hell. Tencent bought the license but that only applies to sequels so the remake isn't affected.

Armored Core 6 trailer is loving RAD. Never played one but that trailer + FROM is a day 1 preorder for me.

Armored Core cinematics have always been pretty baller, their artistic direction is so fantastic. What really held the games back was sparing, somewhat plain environments and rather low project budgets, I guess customary of its sim-adjacent origins. Critically speaking, the series kind of fell off during the latter half of the PS2 era when there were like 6 AC games released from like 6 different publishers in as many years, so the upgrades between titles became super granular, almost like buying Madden games every year. Miyazaki eventually came along and worked on 4/4A, and they released like 1 more after that, but this really feels like the first time an Armored Core title is actually getting a sizeable budget and a bunch of environmental asset artists working on it. In other words, AC, but now with a decade of award winning games under their belts.

God the Death Stranding trailer is amazing. I was speculating that the Lea parts take place in a prologue and then there’s a time skip and Elle Fanning as adult Lou is real but Lea hasn’t really aged in that last bit so I dunno

Yeah, it looks incredible. Great stuff. I think 80 hours burnt me out on DS1 at the time, but I should've just taken my time on it and not been in a rush to finish. Then lockdown happened, would've been a great game for lockdown. Anyways, my fondness for DS has only grown in the last 2 years, it's just a very unique game whatever its problems may be.

Everything I’ve seen from D4 just makes it look utterly out of ideas, which was more or less confirmed by that article.

It's hard for me to care at all about this one. Diablo 2R gets me in the good place because its appeals to my nostalgia are extremely faithful to how I remember it back then, and its story and vibe were always actually interesting and not played out. VV's remake appealed to the Blizzard of another age, a studio that no longer exists. And yeah, it played awesome on a controller, too.

Played the Forspoken demo, I think I am probably the only person that will buy the game at launch. Really liked it a lot, but I can't find a single person out there that hasn't written the game off as trash. I have the brain worms.

I'm def gonna download it and give it a try, strangely enough I've been anticipating it regardless of the awful marketing.

I finished the forspoken demo tonight. Bullet points:
I don't think it's going to be a bad game, necessarily.
But it is a bad demo.
It's the worst use of haptics ever. Beyond awful. Had to switch it off.
If you add a menu option to make the main character stop talking so much, just make that default, you already know it's too much.
My day job is working in computer graphics, I spend 20 hours a week in ue5, and I cannot figure out what the ray tracing mode does.
Also, normally I go for 30fps 4k in games - absolutley no chance in this. It feels awful. 60fps here feels like 30 in other games. People who are sticklers for 60 will find a new level of discomfort.
The world is nice.
Juggling a bunch of powers sometimes feels both spectacular and technical, which is a lot of fun, when it all comes together.
The only time I lost health was jumping off cliffs.

All in all I am going to guess they have hurt sales with this demo. The same team did a weird demo for ff15 but I think they forgot that was a main ff title so of course it would sell well... this is a game where you play as a brown millennial woman and change your nail polish for stat buffs.
I used to work with a girl who I know for a fact must be SO hyped about this game right now and it's kind of dope she has a big budget rpg just for her, but also I hope they made it good enough that it's fun for me for 50h. I will find out when the reviews drop though, not a day 1 purchase.

It’s weird. I re-downloaded Fortnite just to see how it looks now. It didn’t look as good as it does in the DF video. And I’m not talking about compared to PC. The DF video shows even the tiniest little rocks casting small shadows on PS5, but they just…don’t when I was playing. Also no-where near the nice indirect lighting on things like the undersides of bridges. This was at 60 fps (I don’t even have a display capable of 120 hz), so I don’t think it was from having 120 fps on.

Also reminded me that I just really, really don’t like Fortnite. Glad other people like it, but I think I’m just too old for my brain to understand what the kids like about it.

It’s not just you I downloaded due to ur5 hype and it’s just not a good game feels like trash and looks like a Disney movie ingested quaaludes

I was glad to watch that DF video because I don't play Fortnite, nor do I want to, but it's cool to see the future of video games being implemented already in something beyond that Matrix demo.

Finally decided to start cyberpunk 2077 after holding off for a while and I’m gonna take a stab and say the game never comes up with a better character once they kill off Jackie?
I’m only like 6 hours in but I feel like they already blew their load as far as characters go
Still, pretty decent game in my opinion but the loot side of this game is annoying I wish poo poo was more streamlined

Let's be honest if it sweeps 8-9/10's like gow18 off the story and how the combat develops, you would pick it up earliar.
It's not likely... But that's my threshold too. I'd love it if it managed to sweep strong reviews, I'm genuinely rooting for it.

The bib on the baby says ‘Louise’, and you can see the BB tank in the corner turned into a fish tank, plus Sam’s dream catcher, so it’s probably a year and a half or so after the first game, I’m guessing based on BB’s age, but also Sam is way older than he should be in the trailer, but maybe that’s way after the first scene with Fragile and Louise. Maybe it’s another rapidly aging protagonist, maybe the time fall did it..

But yeah it’s so good, Troy baker is back, but as a cyborg Amelia, playing a guitar which owns. Also I had missed the opening shot the first time and there’s so many cool little things, like all those people dressed up, maybe making a pilgrimage to something, carrying a futuristic sarcophagus or something. Something is obviously up with BB Louise, I bet Higgs kidnaps her and says he needs her to do the death stranding 2 or something, she clearly has super powers.

I keep forgetting sifu was this year, it’s definitely gonna in my top 3 list of gotys. I assumed you had it already, but yeah you’ll definitely enjoy it. Tunic as well, but sifu is one of the few games that feels similar to Sekiro imo, very few games have combat systems that look and feel as stylish as they do.
