Video games sales are sliding, console sales are off, and executives are bailing. Despite the fact that brand new consoles launched over the holiday season and gamers would typically be snapping up video games to play on them, sales of video games in the U.S. were down by 26% in January 2104 when compared to 2013’s numbers.
Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.
This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.
tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?
Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.
By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.
It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.
Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.
I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.
I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.
Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.
It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

"Video games sales are sliding, console sales are off"
Really??
A combined 10 million next gen console sales in 3 month beg to differ.
Just shows no matter how well consoles sell there are always people proclaiming their doom.
TitanFall, Infamous SS and Dark Souls 2 are two biggest game out. I think its alittle to act like a chicken with its head cut off.
Here is something novel. I plunked down $500.00 for a console, $60 for a second controller, $25 for a recharge kit and $60 for a game. Hmmmm. So I didn't buy more games in January. Wonder why???? Who writes these opinions anyhow? Maybe I can start a new rumor.
Investors seem to know very little about how cycles work in this industry. Instead of drawing comparisons to the previous console launch, they see fit to draw comparison to last years sales. News flash, last year "current gen" consoles were in their 8th year of existence, they had extensive software libraries, and everyone could afford them. Now, we are in a new generation, the last gen console market is saturated, and the new consoles are far from critical mass... Everything starts over.
