This sort of thing is why I love the internet. When I was watching this week’s Archer it didn’t even cross my mind to pay attention to the hexadecimal code that the Doctor Krieger clone entered as the launch code for the giant nerve gas missile, let alone decode it. But of course one observant Redditor did just that. He or she deserves all the credit for unearthing this wonderful gem so here’s their walk through…

We would like to thank you all for your enthusiastic support of the game.
The entire development team would like to express our deepest gratitude.

I mean… it was pretty underwhelming. They basically slapped on that overused “neon remaster” aesthetic that a bunch of older revivals have leaned on, cranked up the speed a bit, and called it a day. No real innovation, no fresh ideas, just a faster, flashier version of something we’ve already seen.

Although I still hold a little grudge towards them not just because of their treatment of Kojima, but also the demise of Pro Evolution Soccer, I am happy Silent Hill performed so well.
Looking forward to Snake Eater Delta, although I am still not so sure if I'll buy it.
So glad they are back in the game!
Regarding kojima story no one will ever know the true fact.
The guy cannot be that easy to handle for sure.
Personally, I seriously believe that Kojima's actually the type of person you'd consider to be too good-natured - often to his disadvantage.
They need to bring back Castlevania , man how cool it would be to play in a full 3d castle on a scale of what SotN had , something with secrets, loops and items to find in every area .
Yep! The Metroid Prime series showed that the Metroidvania style progression CAN work in 3D, it's just that Castlevania never hit the notes quite as right as Metroid Prime did. Souls games have integrated that Metroidvania-style progression also really nicely and shows what a Castlevania game could possibly look like in a well laid out, 3D world!
I've always thought souls games are the closest we'll get to it but they don't have the integrated traversal with things like relics ( Double/long jumps, Transformations, Holy Symbol... ect ) that I really wanna see . Basically souls you'd just just find a switch, key, ladder or drop to a lower platform for 90% of the exploration but it's nothing like metroidvanias where you get to see your character progress as the tool to open the game further. I'm still hoping though ... even after 25+ years
@Miraak82 Very true. Progression has never been item or ability based in Souls games, but it at least gives a good model of how it could be implemented. I sure hope they give Castlevania another 3D shot!
I'm still hoping we'll see a new 3D castlevania. If metal gear and silent hill came back then hopefully a new castlevania, whether it be a remake or new game, is on the way
There's always room for redemption, look a SE and Capcom ... most of what they put out in the ps3 and a part of the ps4 era was utter dogpoop but in the past 5 years they've been hitting it out of the park with some quality shit . Konami are responsible for some of the best gaming experiences I've ever had so discrediting them would be a disservice to gaming . It's not like they were putting out shit games , they just bailed from the gaming space all together ... I can't say the same thing for for alot of other companies
