I got an incredible email today from a Penny Arcade reader. Dave shared with me an email chain between him and Ocean Marketing (the folks behind the Avenger controller) Trust me when I tell you that this is one wild ride. I’m serious, Mr. Toad would look at this ride and just give a slow clap while shaking his head.
ScreenRant's Ben Brosofsky writes, "There have been a lot of great co-op games over the years, and the best of the best cover a wide variety of genres while maintaining the fun."
ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."
That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game
Sony owns a fair few iconic franchises - many dating right back to the original PlayStation. But while we’re pretty familiar with the likes of ongoing series such as God of War, Horizon, and Gran Turismo, there are plenty of PlayStation franchises that haven’t seen the light of day in a long time. So in this video, we’re going to be taking a look at the status of PlayStation’s many IPs, and checking in on when we last heard from them.
Indeed. We hear this “underutilized” talk as if every old franchise should have a comeback or reboot.
When new IPs start looking like Concord, you can't blame people for wanting another Resistance or Killzone instead.
J&D and Resistance are good ones. As much as I love these, though, I'm not sure they would payoff without an enormous marketing push. Younger gamers today do not have taste and the older gamers that would appreciate these might not be enough. But yeah, I would day 1 Resistance.
Well that’s just the consequence of consistently producing new IPs isn’t it. Not all studios can be or want to be like polyphony digital who made gran turismo all the time.
Here lies The Infamous Series; once a shining beacon of free flying, lighting bolt sniping, and wire riding amazing gameplay, it has been laid to rest and be forgotten for what seems like forever despite being loved by millions. Plot next to Wipeout across from NBA Jam.
Still baffling they cancelled Twisted Metal, Factions 2 and Spider-Man Multiverse LS game but thought Concord looked good enough.
Ape Escape, Parappa / Lammy, Gravity Rush, good times. Always hoping for them to make a return, or at least similar type games, such as the newly-announced Astro Bot, but one game isn't enough. Bring back the joyfulness of the 90's era of gaming.
"How to Destroy your Brand" 101
I love how the idiot simultaneously flatters and insults Penny arcade at some point .
It's like "I dont care you're a small site/con , but please dont hate me" . A guy with issues that shouldnt be involved in any kind of PR job
This is not how PR should be done. Im going to make a wwebsite which shows how before it was the internet.

Looks to me the customer was being a dick before the PR guy just went off on him. As a guy who works in retail, we get people of his kind of attitude far too often.
The fact he went ahead and posted the email to news sites before saying he did is just a dick-move. I wouldn't want to deal with you either and tell you off just like customer support did.
Read the email convo for yourself and notice how the customer was "threatening" customer support when the company already has your money. The fact it was shipped during the holiday rush: what the fuck do you want them to do about it? Teleport it?
Give me a fucking break, guy.
both were a bit "hard".
it's true the company can't teleport it, but it's also true, sometimes, companies, whenever they get your money, they will make you wait, wait, wait, so the can regroup orders, and let them have 1 or 2 or 3% extra rebate.
i know people who sell tvs and appliances online, once someone order something, even if it's supposed to be available on stock, actually, it doesn't. they wait one week, until the customer sends an email, asking when it's gonna be out for delivery: then they just say there was some delay, because of ..., and they should have it in a few days. actually, they are waiting for the item to arrive at the retailer.2, 3 weeks later, the customer already waited some time, he is ok to wait a few more days...all this because it was cheaper, when he ordered.
in 10 people like that, maybe 1 or 2 will cancel the order, all the other, will wait.
fortunately, it doesn't happen all the time, but, everywhere, sometimes it happens, just like that.
once they get your money, all you can do is wait.. wait.. and wait... or cancel your order. but if you order somewhere else, you will have to wait again, so.. you keep your order, and wait.
i'm not saying everybody do that, but, when you buy something that comes from another country, it's easy to tell customers that there was a problem with the boat, or plane, or submarine... or drone... or whatever will ship your stuff :)
