If it weren't for the 'we'll show more when we're near release' update from two weeks ago I'd be expecting it but there's no way we're seeing anything for at least six years now.

Spiderman is a cert and it'll be cool but I hope we get a bit more of a substantial Wolverine tease to go with it.

Spiderman is likely to be the big game shown off, otherwise i'm not really expecting anything else big.

I know some of the older ones got updated.

I really don't pay too much attention to them, but I know the cool toys I like to use I never have problems using?

Maybe do the DF trial and you can see if the toys you're talking about have been updated?

I was just curious, if I was gonna break boycott for anything it'd probably be to play my old hearthstone decks one more time.

I mean most games get balance patches to stop exploits and the like, it's just more prevalent in MMOs cause allowing exploits to exist for too long impacts other players.

Not having a crack here, cause I read you loud and clear that you don't like MMOs, but I don't think this is something unique you can hold against the genre.

I can agree that those sorts of things do generally get patched regardless of game genre, it's certainly more prevalently corrected in any PvP or multiplayer games where people will totally abuse the poo poo out of something to benefit.

Still it's always a pleasure when a bug/glitch becomes an official feature later on, even if the original cause gets fixed. I feel like that doesn't happen nearly as often in PvP stuff though.

A fun example off the top of my head on WH40k: Darktide, there was a glitch that let you cancel the (massive) backswing of a powered up strike by the Thunderhammer weapon. All you had to do was hit the "pull out melee weapon" button and a full second and a half of recoil was gone! Except the devs came in and fixed it (unsurprisingly) but to compensate eventually buffed the recovery time to be so fast it felt like you were using the glitch!

if you can believe it, an MMO of otherland was actually made and launched, but it was a passion project from a team that was way in over its head and was shut down a year or two ago

that full playthrough's still a treat to go through due to the insane amount of visual creativity the team managed to pack in to what was otherwise a rather tedious and rote package. it's an incredibly important bit of archiving

Whoa I'll check some of the video out, that's pretty cool. Curious if they put the real world into it to, since the kinda point of the MMOs in the books I got through were basically alternate worlds some people practically lived in they were so intricate and expansive. Trying to do the whole deal right would mean basically making a dozen separate full games with VR tech yet undeveloped haha

Been checking out the clips that have been coming out, and it is looking absolutely rock solid.

After Across the Spider-verse there will be a 3rd movie, Beyond the Spider-verse.

Sony going all in on Miles Morales as an animated property and it's great.

as far as i know, it's a basic "you're trapped in the MMO that's going haywire" deals, but it differentiates itself by pulling in multiple different realities of otherland instead of just being The Fantasy World or The Gun World or whatever, so there's a real grab bag of visual styles and aesthetics

They basically spent an entire year on polish, so they're pretty confident in the final product, but they're still checking for stuff for post-release patches.

A day 1 patch is a way to avoid having to go through certification again after making a bunch of fixes. It sounds like they've taken the unprecedented step of testing the game thoroughly, making their fixes, *then* submitting for cert.

i think one would have to be pretty thick in the head to think this is a 'main selling point' after everything they've shown. more a sign of respect.
