Delays notwithstanding, next year is looking like a Pretty Good Videogame Year. RE2Make, Metro, Ori 2, DMC5, DOOMER, Sekiro...ah, there's also the poo poo FFT too in case you're a bad person.

Probably dead. I can’t point to examples of backwards compatibility selling any systems, and remastered versions sell too well.

It prevented me from selling my Xbone if that counts. Only bought it for exclusives, was underwhelmed but kept it due to BC.

You can buy parts as dlc so you don't have to buy the physical pieces. Once you've connected a piece to your game you have a digital copy and don't have to actually mess around with figures if you don't want to.

The trailer made it look like you use the ship as a controller or some poo poo, which sounds like a monumentally terrible idea but it's not like that's ever stopped toys to life things

Wait I lied, the most pathetic part of E3 was not nerds having orgasms over a game that doesn’t even have a title yet, but the part where Michel Ancel asked everyone to crowdsource the assets and textures for his game and they’ll maybe pay you if you win lottery odds of actually being put in the game.

Soul Calibur VI (PS4, XB1, PC Steam) - Friday October 19th


I'm still baffled they didn't go for a July/August release. Fighting games usually do well when there's no release competition. Anyways, I think that's the only game I want between now and Resident Evil 2, so my wallet is breathing easy.

Aris (a big bandai namco 3d fighting personality) was saying that it was delayed from summer a few months ago as he heard it. Probably wouldnt have been ready

The last gears was so bad it retroactively went back and destroyed my memories of gears ever being good. The last halo didn't even have fuckin' couch coop and halo 4 was garbage.
I might check out gears tactics cause I love me some xcom, hopefully it will be as big a hit as halo warz

I beat gow4 in may and it is so bland. The squad banter is like poo poo talking the game for you too with constant "i dont like this" or "this again?" In between the normal bad wisecrack buddy banter.
At least they let you play the end of the game in big mech suits i guess.

So thats gears 5 out for me. Same with the gears spin offs, dont care. Halo is a tech demo, probably need a new console for it so thats not on my radar. I'll get ori2 even though i thought the ori1 gameplay didnt live up to its art, cause gamepass makes it easier to try on a whim. I'll get the cuphead dlc. I'll get crackdown just to witness the trainwreck for 9.99

It's just graffiti and art pieces, they're not exactly crowdsourcing character models. A shitload of people do art like that for fun, so tossing their poster/graffiti/painting in the hat to see if it gets used is more of a "huh, cool!" thing rather than any real dreams of it being their big break as a design artist.

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."


Whatever the motivation it's still pretty scummy within the context of this greater trend toward outsourcing cheap contract labor over hiring an actual salaried employee. Ubisoft isn't some fledgling studio, they're one of the largest and most profitable video game publishers on the planet and can afford to employ dedicated artists for their time.
