Pixar hasn’t had Pixar money in a long time. Their last huge success was Toy Story 4 and that was 5 years ago. Of course you can blame Disney+ for a lot of that.
The Last Night, Replaced and now this. I can’t keep giving my hopes up for highly stylized, somewhat pixely blade runneresk games. I hope one of these get released.
Crystal Dynamics have a really strong track record with the exception of Avengers but I’d put the blame on the publishers for pushing a game on them that isn’t their specialty
Or Cate Blanchett. Like if me and my friends were dream casting this movie one of us would say Cate Blanchett as a joke and we’d all laugh and move on. Don’t get me wrong, she’s one of my favorite actresses, you can Tar and feather me all day but this was frankly a bizarre call.
Reminds me of the show Barry, the character Sally is on a press circuit and someone throws the question at her “Who should play the next Spiderman” and confused by the question she says Ben Mendelson
I think we’re past this now, we’ve had a number of good (or at the very least enjoyable) adaptations now, Sonic, Mario, Pikachu. Werewolves Within was really good though no one has heard of the game. And of course TV has been knocking it out of the park, Last of Us, Fallout, Cyberpunk, Castlevania, League of Legends, hell I’d even throw in Twisted Metal. Even stuff about people who play games like Gran Turismo and Players were really good. We also have things that considered bad at the time are being reclaimed like Mortal Kombat
Borderlands is (by the looks of it) just an IP dump which isn’t exclusive to video games.
They had to sign a 10 year deal to allow COD on other platforms in order for the courts to allow the acquisition to go through. After that they’ll almost certainly go exclusive, they didn’t pay Activision King Blizzard $75 billion just to keep the status quo. Xbox isn’t in the games business, they’re in the game pass business.
I didn’t have good gaming gear at the time so I was all in on streaming. Stadia, GeForce now, xcloud, even moonlight on hosted locally with Gamestream. Stadia was hands down the smoothest cloud gaming of all the options I tried. Moving between TV and phone was so quick, no noticeable lag at all and constant 4k.
It’s too bad their business model sucked. Most of the other game streamers have caught up now but I always wished they would have just somehow provided their tech to other services.
This might fall under what you’ve already mentioned but they also have relations with large publications and streamers.
There’s thousands of games released every year but there’s a good chance you can only name less than 30 of them. We often underestimate the power of big marketing.
My dad was complaining how the younger generation doesn’t answer their phone anymore and I had to explain it’s all scam calls now and it’s his generation that keeps the scammers in business
Ubi also needs to just kill Beyond Good and Evil 2 at this point. There’s no way anything good can come from a project with 17 years of development and nothing really to show for it.
Just a heads up, there’s a good review on the steam page that breaks it down a bit and it seems this is less a free game and very much a F2P game with a battle pass and expensive currency.
If I can give Apple credit for one thing is they keep their primary OS pretty free of ads and junkware. Like when I open my Apple TV it’s just a grid of apps vs my Google TV which has a huge ad for a show on a streaming network you might not even subscribe to. Now what companies do inside their apps is a different story of course.
I don’t have actual stats on this but I’m fairly certain I’ve put more hours into Slay the Spire than any other game in my life across its various platforms. Pretty psyched for this one
Going back though, I’d probably just skip the first now. 2 improved on 1 in every way. 3 and ultimate was also good but a bit bloated. Then we get a slew of mixed to bad games until we get to the nether realms era.
So basically play 2 then play series that starts with the 2011 Mortal Kombat
Year 1 I went hard on pokemon go, I committed to the original 150 (I don’t recognize anything past red and blue) that were available and in my region then peaced out. There wasn’t anything there past my nostalgia.
Looking at a couple hours of a stock means nothing and is purposely misleading. Zoom out and it’s got pretty good upward consistency.
Posts like this are like the sad ex who can’t move on and just makes up bullshit about their former partner. Let’s move on and make Lemmy better instead of being stuck making up fake news for internet points.
Yea now it’s going through fluctuations. When this post went up it was at the peak of the 26th. Either way, we gotta wait this out before jerking ourselves off about a stock crash.
Based on the YouTube comments people are excited for this one, moreso than the previous one. I’ve never played a Paper Mario game. Can someone help me understand the significance of this?
Played the shit out of this and Rush 2049 on the Sega Dreamcast. I miss these arcadey racers with exploration. Like Beetle Adventure Racing and Diddy Kong Racing. I feel like Burnout Paradise was the end of these.
