Stumbled upon this article and:

quote:

Q: Possible to re-release the Activision TF games to coincide with Gamer Edition?
A: Sadly, apparently Activision’s not sure what hard drives they’re on in their building. When a company eats a company that eats a company things get lost, and that’s very frustrating. Hope is that now that the deal is moving forward with Microsoft and Xbox that they’ll go through all of the archives and every hard drive to find it all, because it’s an easy Game Pass add. We want those games back up for people to have a chance to play.

The same interview mentions they own the rights for all Transformers games and stating that they want Microsoft to find War for Cybertron & Fall of Cybertron (the two really good 360 era Transformers games made by High Moon Studios) to put on Game Pass is really exciting. It's all if they can find the source code however and the BC team would need to get to work but theoretically it shouldn't be too difficult since the games were made in Unreal Engine 3 which Xbox is very familiar with (Gears of War, for example) so now it sounds like there are zero rights issues, we just have to hope that they can find the source code now that they own Activision. Would be awesome to get to revisit those games, and maaaaaaaybe get another one? :3:

Nice unexpected perk of the ABK acquisition is Hasbro now wanting Xbox to put Transformers games out :D

Final nail in the PS5's coffin 16


New trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 dropped btw and revealed Geras is coming back. Continues to look really good but if it's not your thing it's still worth skipping to the end to see the insane fatalities. Wish the kameo characters looked a bit better though, Sektor looks kinda rough compared to the main roster :( I think that's Jade we see at 2:20 though which is awesome.

Also gonna dive in to Alan Wake remaster in prep for the sequel and holy poo poo I forgot how rad Quantum Break looked and so I'm gonna grab that too since apparently Remedy is tying all their games together into one world and revisiting the old gameplay demos is still impressive as heck.

Gamer score is about 104k. I play a healthy combo of single and multiplayer games. I don't go chasing cheevos until one of those progress tabs shows up on my idle screen. And I don't chase anything that's ridiculous or unfun.

Examples of unfun are CoD campaigns completed on Veteran.

Examples of ridiculous include bringing the gnome to the rocket in HL2 E2.

28k and same. I don't care and I'm not going to do achievement hunting on garbage games to inflate a number. The only true achievement during the 360 era was having over 90% avoided on the rep panel because of goon teams in Call of Duty.

Far Cry is the one Ubisoft game I still enjoy playing because it's actually fun, but god drat every game seems to be a game of one-upsmanship in which the writers attempt to fill the game with the absolute most dogshit clichés possible. Thank gently caress they let you skip cutscenese

I was hyped as heck for Far Cry 4 after seeing this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TE69TPrkfcQ

Then the game launched and it turned out none of that content was actually in the game and it was massively downgraded too. Real bummer because that demo looked so fun to play but should lave learned after the exact same thing happened with Far Cry 3. Their gameplay demos always look really fun but aren't actually part of the final game (unless that's changed recently?) so I've written them off entirely. The last Far Cry looked great in the demos and Cuba is an exciting setting but all I could think was "Is any of this actually in the game?" and then it came out and general consensus seemed to be "Meh" so I wrote that off too.

It's why the Star Wars & Avatar games they revealed recently are kinda frustrating because they look really good and I'm almost certain the final games will be completely different at launch and not look or play anything like what they've shown us. Get major Anthem vibes of them being developed just for demo purposes and entirely separate to what the actual games are.

My pitch for a Far Cry game is a spiritual successor to Far Cry 2. No overwrought storyline about yet another plucky resistance group fighting against whatever the current fascist populist movement stand-in is. Just dropped into a wartorn (ambiguously placed -stan) with access to several biomes, and a few morally ambiguous factions you can choose to work for, ally with, or subvert to whatever ends. Instead of characters as a series of stereotypes and cliches, you get the return of the buddy system. 8 characters with a few character traits to give them a veneer of difference. You pick a buddy to follow you through the storyline, and if you play with permadeath on, if they bite it a randomly selected buddy will replace them. Bare bones storyline doing the bare minimum to gate gear and additional areas etc. No infinitely respawning checkpoints, unless you decide to keep playing sides against each other. I could see two main factions, with some alternative options like a crime cartel or international aid group or foreign legion to do side missions for.

Ubisoft could never

e: once MS owns ActiBlizzard and thus have the Soldier of Fortune license, they should have Treyarch make this game and call it Soldier of Fortune

I don't get why anyone would be even slightly interested in that when Skyrim exists. Maybe it's some Oblivion-themed expansion thing for Elder Scrolls Online? I've never played it and not 100% confident I'm right here but isn't Morrowind a beloved part of the franchise and they opted to just add it to ESO as a whole updated area with stuff for people to do? Maybe they're doing that with Oblivion?

No idea how many different teams there even are but they've got people working on Starfield, a team for Elder Scrolls Online and another team for Fallout 76 and remastering anything seems like a big waste since Starfield will no doubt get a lot of post-launch support and they'll probably have people starting work on a new Elder Scrolls game soon? They don't seem very interested in remakes either aside from Skyrim being a special case? Another remake of that seems like it would be more likely.

Then again their fanbase seems really into everything they do so maybe an Oblivion remaster would be a huge deal but idgi.

It's these guys supposedly working on it and not Bethesda. Not an ESO thing. Who knows if it's even true.

I think OP is referring to Skyblivion, an overhaul mod that renders Oblivion's Cyrodiilic setting in the updated Skyrim Special Edition engine, and which's been in development for like a decade now by a small team of scrappy modders. Also, update on Xbox desktop update - still no update.

Yeah, Skyblivion was given a 2025 date relatively recently, so presumably someone heard about that and got their wires crossed.

Morrowind probably wasn't as much of a breakout for the series and Oblivion may or may not carry forward some nostalgia from the xbox 360 launch era
