Turning the light on the darkest places, you and I know we got to face this now. We got to face this now.

Hopefully they can get the funding to jump start a new studio with that game on their resume.

I think Tunic isn't that great, but can see why people are so high on it. That alone probably makes it a good month for a lot of people. Most months are worse than this one. Oh yeah, and fifa is pretty well liked.

Man RIP Tango. I had high hopes for that studio. Too bad that Shinji Mikami started sucking at directing games the moment he founded it. Guy directed RE4, God Hand, Vanquish, then left Capcom and directed Evil Within, then stepped back to executive producer, and now I think he's aimlessly wandering the countryside. Glad they got one unqualified success out the door in Hi-Fi Rush, otherwise their record is a real mixed bag.

I think he said recently that he didn't want to direct horror games anymore and his main goal was to create opportunity for younger devs to stretch their wings.

having said that I still miss the era of a few GTA clones getting released every year, with the entire industry collapsing I doubt we'll ever get anything like that again
My favorite one-off GTA clone is Saboteur. Shooting nazis in occupied Paris with voicework by the Lucky Charms leprechaun and Pepe Le Pew.

There are rumors going around, and I guess have been for awhile, that a Fallout 3 remaster is coming out this fiscal year. Next month is Replacement E3 month, so I would expect an announcement then

Ninja Theory (Hellblade) is probably freaking out right now, considering that they are finally putting out a Hellblade sequel and I think it's one of MS' major exclusives for the year

Ghostrunner 2 was my second favorite of 23, Tunic rules, people still like FIFA.

It’s a good month aside from the fact that I already own all of the titles I’d play.

I imagine any company working under Microsoft is wringing their hands at this point, unless you're Bethesda because clearly there's no limit to the companies that MS will feed to the grinder to fuel their development. Award winning best-sellers? Nah, gently caress em.

Mikami left Tango and is starting a talent incubator studio, so I'm not really surprised that they'd roll Tango staff into the greater business given he was central to the studio being its own thing.

Ikumi Nakamura also left to start her own thing, so that's the other well known talent gone from Tango.

Still, hope the HiFi team can keep working together somewhere in the industry.

The head's of Arkane Austin and Lyon called the news "terrible" and "a loving gut stab," respectively. The director of HiFi Rush says it's terrible and he "doesn't have the words..."

So, I don't get the impression many people at the studios are still employed by MS in any capacity.

Initial thoughts on the PS Portal:

Wifi chip is garbage. I have a pretty good wifi setup at home with full coverage everywhere. None of my devices ever drop. Until today. I walked from one room INTO the room with the main router and it dropped in those 20 steps.

Also, for some reason when I turned off my TV / AVR, the portal popped up a HDR adjustment screen. When I turned the AVR back on, it went away. No idea why it did this. Very strange.

I do like the screen size, though.

So far: C+ I'll check it out for a while but might return it.
