Having refused to purchase the video game console since its introduction in 1994, local parents John and Melissa Gionda confirmed Thursday that they had finally caved in and bought a Sony PlayStation 1 for their 33-year-old son, Daniel.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.

This article is from the Onion so it`s probably not true, but thought I`d share.
My parents would never purchase games for me after my Vic-20 which they bought for me and my brother when I was six or seven. When they eventually picked up a Commodore 64 for us, instead of buying us games they would buy us a copy of Compute`s Gazette magazine which often included game code and say "If you want a game, enter the code" so I spent a good part of my childhood entering and debugging code on a C64 and figuring out how to modify the game when I grew bored. We picked up a used Atari 2600 at some point at a farm auction that had a few games but my sibling didn`t have a game console until I bought them a TurboGrafix 16 for Christmas when I was away at my first year of university. Today I`m retired from the brokerage industry and attempting to make my way with a game studio I started.
The point of my story is my parents were cheap bastards.
well atleast he got it
Lucky SOB. I'll trade him my PS4.
I want my N64 dammit
Had to wait from SNES to GC. Child abuse I tell ya (jk)
