Mrs Nesbitt from GamersFTW writes: "I've recently started collecting little tid-bits of gaming memorabilia for my home office and for around my home. It really first started when I pre-ordered the Pip-Boy Edition of Fallout 4 back in June of 2015 and since then I have found it very difficult to stop. It can range from the £100 I spent on the Pip-Boy to a £15 Batman piggy-bank I picked up at Cardiff Comic Con. The above doesn't seem much or valuable to most collectors in general, but it's a start. I do not consider myself a 'true' collector however, as I do not have the willpower to not unbox items when I receive them."
An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.
He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷♂️
I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .
In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?
The remake teased an expanded universe, but now a sequel has no chance of delivering on it.
Honestly i believe it was mainly as retaliation for the original devs breaking off and making colisto protocol. They've done this a few times, ignoring fan demands for the return of a belived ip until someone does it for them, then they retaliate by only then announcing an entry. Colisto protocol was announced and EA announced the remake shortly after, Session finally hit consoles and skate 4 was announced, shortly after Undisputed was shown off, talks started happening about a new fight night.
It was a solid game and we'll have to move on and accept it for what it is. Just because we're not getting a sequel (original or remake) doesn't mean there's no point anymore in what is a great, tense, well-paced single player experience. No one's taking Dead Space Remake away.
I just hope that the game isn't so technically stitched together on PC that driver updates render the game unplayable like what happened with me and my RTX 4070 last year, requiring a driver downgrade just months after the game came out. If you're a console player then you've got no worries.
Most likely for EA to cash in on the remake craze that followed Capcom when they started remaking RE games. I am glad EA did it I enjoy the game. DS is one of my favorite franchises love the sci fi horror shit. What I don't like is EA not remaking DS2. So DS1 remake did not do well with the numbers so what. DS2 has a solid fanbase and is probably the best entry in the franchise depending on the fan. DS2 remake would have been a day one for me but I got a reminder on why I hate EA. Scrap the DS2 remake for a shitty Iron Man game.
It's because the gaming community want remakes and remasters over new games.
I think that is for the best of the franchise o be left alone then to be turned into a game as a service or something like that, EA has the awful habit of trying to monetize everything.
Screen Rant, "The return of one controversial character could have an incredible effect on The Legend of Zelda, prompting the introduction of new features."
Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her
Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.
I'm still on the hunt for a mint, sealed Majora's Mask Adventure Set. Anybody have one lying around?
*sigh* That Among thieves one -_- hopefully I get lucky come Wednesday night and it might be the first thing I try to get my hands on lol
Once upon a time, I owned the artbook of Dead Space that was in that collector's edition. Perks of working at Gamestation. Lord knows where it is now.
How weird, literally this morning I checked eBay for The Uncharted dagger, and now I'm reading this... Hmmm, it's amazing how much some of these things cost, and they thought gaming was dying out.
Very cool post. I love collecting video game things. Recently got a hold of a banjo kazooie branded back pack which probably made my life :)
