Marcus pokes at the poor decisions behind this week’s big layoffs.
Release date and expected launch time for when the Fallout 4 next-gen update will come out along with how to download.
This is a huge release being treated like a patch update but really it’s a monster in disguise…Bethesda being Bethesda, no actual release times or pre load available or file size info, sigh. All that said, clearing space on the SSD and putting the PS5 in rest mode while at work so I can play later, fully expecting snail download speeds as millions bang on their servers.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "A Difficult Game About Climbing is obviously frustrating, and I don’t exactly think it’s a fun pasttime, but it’s exponentially more enjoyable than the horrendous Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy. It’s actually beatable with enough trial and error. Its mechanics, whilst not exactly polished to the brim, work as intended, with no intentional input lag. It’s still clearly meant for Let’s Play youtubers to film themselves losing their minds over it, but it can still be a passable challenge if you’re up for the task."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "I loved that New Star GP ended up being nothing like what I was expecting from it. I thought I was going to get a simple and straightforward love letter to Virtua Racing, only for it to be something more akin to the best F1 racing games from the mid to late 90s, with a perfect blend of accessible physics and simulation elements. New Star GP is adorably retro in its visuals and vibes, but it’s got some surprising amount of depth and an interesting career mode. A little hidden gem in the racing scene, without a doubt."
Someone needs to take off their nostalgia glasses. Besides Battlefront Lucasarts haven't done much that's genuinely good.
Edit:
Boy, and then he goes on and lambast the Square fanboys for their nostalgia glasses.
Worst part of that before FF13, I use to be one.
Damn, Marcus came back with a fury and pulled no punches.
No, they were thinking that LucasArts was garbage, because it was.
In the 90's they were great. In the early 00's still good but on a downward slope, that just continued to spiral down.
Personally, I wanted a new X-Wing/TIE Fighter game more than Battlefront 3. But I have to wonder how a company decides not to commit to Battlefront 3. Its relevant and has one of the best franchises attached to it.
How was it that BF3 wasn't the #1 goal? Its like LA sees a pot of gold sitting there and says, meh.
LA needed more than just the franchise to milk to stay in business.
Set aside your "fanboyism" for Star Wars or even one of the games LA attached its name to, then look at LA in recent years.
Disney may never make SW games again, but its still better than what LucasArts was doing.
Very nicely done. I've never seen one of these videocasts but I will be sure to keep an eye on them in the future. I agree with everything he said.
nice one Marcus. couldn't of said it better.
