Future Historians: After homeless snail brought President Abraham Lincoln to the then present day and showed him Grindr, Lincoln's keen interest was likely down to a need to save money by sharing a bed....

On Star trek they would always physically hand someone that ebook reader thing when they wanted to show someone else something. The whole notion of a personalized pocket computer was completely alien to them.
Their notion of a future computer was a magical voice in the sky making thing appear. I guess they predicted online shopping, but free since money did not exist, at least in S1 of TNG.

apparently the ransomware hackers that hit insomniac last week were legit and leaked a huge amount of data some hours ago
got a lot of projects including stuff that was apparently never greenlit or multiplayer stuff that withered on the vine

their timeline is booked through 2035
and apparently the upcoming list is
Venom: Lethal Protector (seems to be the Miles Morales for Spider-Man 2 - smaller standalone "midquel" to lead into Spider-Man 3) - 2025 or 2027 target date.
Wolverine - 2026 target date
Spider-Man 3 - 2028 target date - possibly split into multiple games
Ratchet and Clank - 2029 target date
X-Men 2 - 2030 target date (sequel to Wolverine)
New unnamed IP - 2031-2032 target date
X-Men 3 - 2033+ target date
New unnamed IP (either a second new IP or a sequel to the first) - 2035+ target date

there's at lot more in-depth stuff, including scripts and videos and slides and budgets and how well sony ports have been doing on steam (it's a BIG leak), that's just the quick schedule run-down

No, but PC was directly named as part of their sales strategy for future titles, so that train's keeping on, at least.
For a potential date (merely inferred, you understand), it could be at or after next year's Holiday season, as that is when they're supposedly releasing Spider-Man 2 GOTY Edition for PS5.

I think it's in Contact by Carl Sagan, he had a really weird (in retrospect) idea on how future entertainment/games etc would be distributed, basically just extrapolating out from video rentals.... BUT he did accurately predict adblockers at least, since I think the guy who funds the device they want to use to travel made his fortune by developing tech that could detect and immediately block you from seeing or hearing ads which immediately made him the richest man in the world :)

I mean, sure, maybe someday you'll be able to ask your TV "What was the score in last night's little league game?" before you go to work, and come home to watch a custom newsreal that tells you the answer, but the technology just isn't there yet.

I never played Max Paynes but I did watch a really long retrospective on it after I played Control and the essayist had a convincing case for why the 3rd one was thematically fitting for the characters or story or the devs making them. Seems like playing Max Payne 3 leads to a worse opinion of it, so I won't ruin it by trying it.

Max Payne 3 rules and everyone complaining about it is a big whiner whose opinions can’t be trusted.

So yeah, you’d hate it. :v:

Yes. The first two are a lot weirder and more noirish while the third feels like more of a standard crime story. It's probably 'better' if you didn't like MP1 and 2 but it's infinitely more generic.

that sounds like noah-gervais' retrospective; i believe his core idea on 3 was that max being a hardboiled noir detective stereotype necessarily trapped him in an unending cycle of loss and pain, and that the true culmination of the story is him dropping the old cliches and moving away from that life, something that also nicely ties a bow on the trilogy as a whole
