USGamer: “Konami has the right to do what it wants with its franchise. Contra Anniversary Collection was enough of a boon from the publisher. But if it was going to update and modernize Contra, I would prefer something closer to Arc System Works' fast and smooth Hard Corps: Uprising. Alas, that title remains trapped on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, as it wasn't even included in the Anniversary Collection. Contra: Rogue Corps might be fun when it releases, but it's not what I'm looking for from the series.
Blazing Chrome hews closer to that mental ideal. It feels like an update of what Contra was. Contra: Rogue Corps might carry forward the name, and I hope it does well enough that Konami pursues more Contra in the future, but Blazing Chrome clutches the spirit of Contra close to its chest. If you're looking for some excellent run-and-gun, pick up Blazing Chrome on Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.”

It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.
To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"
Yeah worrying about digital ownership when you’re on the other side of the grass seems a little strange, but also on brand for these millennial journalists to worry about.
I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.
Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.
It's not difficult but It's against the policy. If they find out, they will lock the account permanently.
Ah ok, I had a feeling there was something like that. It seems kind of weird that you can’t just hand your account over to a family member or friend and let them take over the account.
CD Projekt Red is confident in the transition from its in-house Red Engine to Unreal Engine 5 for the next Witcher game.
My main concern with UE5, is that some developers have resorted to very low resolutions in order to enable the advanced feature set of this engine and sustain the frame rate.
In open world games, especially those with excellent graphics, we cant realistically expect 60fps from consoles (PS5 pro set aside as we do not know exactly how performant it will be) without huge compromises.
Thus the new Witcher game will probably require more powerful consoles to experience it the way the developers intended and in that sense, it reminds me of Cyberpunk situation.
It was released in current gen systems albeit in dire state (even PS4 Pro and Xbox One X suffered) requiring next generation consoles to achieve a desirable (and still not ideal) result.
My thoughts exactly. This is definitely a PC engine first and foremost, given the compromises required on consoles. Tekken 8 is a **fighting game** on UE5 and, even without Nanite and Lumen, needs to be upscaled to 4K to run at a solid 60fps. The engine straight up dog walks current console hardware. I don't see this getting much better on a PS5 Pro either.
I don't see this game releasing this generation. If it wasn't Sony owned, I think Decima 2.0 would be an excellent engine for this game.
I am quietly confident that they are going to make one hell of a jaw dropping witcher considering what they achieved with cyberpunk, i reckon they will bring a new level of what can be expected from ue5 BUT i reckon it will be a ps6/rtx 5090 game.
Arkane Austin has just released Game Update 4, the final patch for Redfall which is 16GB in size and adds an Offline Mode.
I'm not interested in this game but i think it's great they added the offline mode for those who are.
It was okay at first... once they added the performance update it was definitely better.
This game looks really good but not for $26. Digital only, indie games should not cost more than $10.
Screw Hard Corps: Uprising
Game is fantastic good, if they ever release a physical edition I will Buy It.
