As I wait for assassins creed mirage to inevitably go on sale in the next few weeks I wonder why Ubisoft doesn’t just remake old assassins creed games. I would buy remakes of ac1-ac4 in a heartbeat.

still utterly mindblowing to me that this is all CGI. not gonna be too long before this kind of bodycam horror makes its way to video games, and while the first generation of UE5 poo poo's probably gonna be rough, there is some incredible VR potential here

i saw that a little bit ago and the sheer accuracy is almost unbelievable. there's a bunch of people in the comments saying they used to go to or work at the valley view mall and had an insane sense of deja vu watching, like the guy who used to sell DVDs out of a kiosk right outside the main entrance the dude in the video enters through

i think what i like the most about the rolling giant in retrospect is that it's a case study in the importance of atmosphere to horror: a weird looking puppet on a wheeled dolly coming atcha could easily come across as silly, but there's just enough time spent establishing a menacing environment that the menace transfers to it in turn

i can loving guarantee you that there's already at least 6 indie projects being rushed out for the halloween season where a big papier-mache man is chasing after you in a mall or mall-adjacent location

a monster you don't have to actually animate is, like, the holy grail of low budget production

[Code Vein] I lost a BIG NUMBER of souls haze because I refused to give up on the haze I dropped at a boss. the number grew each time i tried to take down the boss (cause of the enemies along the way), until i eventually forgot to pick it up and died to the boss again.

I'm at the cathedral. Is there a lot of game left?

it's been a while, but i think you've got, like, 5? major areas left to go after that, so there's still a good amount of Game after

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."


My favorite subgenre of youtube commenter are the people who get really really mad about speedruns that use glitches or exploits to skip over large segments of the game. It could be some obscure 90s mascot platformer crap nobody's ever heard of, there'll inevitably be some angry guy in the comments that's like "now beat the game for real." Their strange little minds mystify me.

The PC ports of the ps5 games are pretty decent in terms of tech stuff.
I think they've ported all of them at this point, with Horizon 2 coming soon.

Maybe that samurai game is still exclusive now that I think about it. And FF16.

To be fair sometimes a glitch is found that skips what was once a really cool and fun speedrunning segment, like when they discovered a way around doing the spider houses in Majora's Mask

Bowser's Fury was absolutely brilliant. It was like a modern version of Mario Sunshine, which I am incredibly fond of.

I think my favourite style of 3D mario is the one where you have a set level that you keep entering and it changes slightly each time - like 64 and Sunshine.

Pete Hines seemed (probably justifiably) pretty fed up dealing with the fans sometimes so if he's genuinely retiring to have a rest then good for him.

The best Bethesda game as of recently has been Hi Fi Rush and that's saying a lot, they've lost both Shinji Mikami from Tango and Raf Colantonio from Arkane so I don't blame Hines for leaving on a downturn

kinda curious now how starfield did compared to their internal projections. the 10 million player count i've seen bandied about presumably includes game pass numbers in there, so it's hard to get a bead on what the actual sales are looking like

i'm sure it didn't do apocalyptically bad or anything, but it's dropped off the radar shockingly fast for something that got hyped to high heaven prerelease

Once everyone found out that it was Another Bethesda Game I think that may have cooled off interest

The writing doesn't even appear to be all that compelling from what I've heard

There's nothing wrong with it really and if that's the type of game you like you'll have a great time with it but... that's the game

Like every big game they were making a lot of promises in the hypecycle before release for what turned out to be Fallout 4 In Space
