In other news fools are soon parted with their money.

Legal swindling. Gotta love it.

ChrisW2197d ago

Well... I refuse to buy any game published by EA. I also rarely play FTP games or games riddled with micro-transactions. If I do, I absolutely do not purchase anything in game.

With that being said, I'm happy that I won't be a part of that $50 billion. Sadly, way too many do not have the same mindset.

Disruptor PS1, a pre Goldeneye console FPS from 1996 (with Command and Conquer type FMV cutscenes) and the first game by a pre Spyro Insomniac Studios directed by Mark Cerny. A good game for its time, and pre Bioshock use of telekinesis type powers. A game sadly almost completely lost to time

I have never even heard of it, so that must be a deep cut. Sounds really interesting and I might dig it out :-)

@Cacabunga A classic, no doubt. But, fondly remembered by many.

Cacabunga18d ago

First one was so good but second one on another level!!!
Still hoping to see a next gen version..

@Cacabunga Yeah, I preferred II for the real-timier combat. I would love to see both remade or remastered.

We need to bring back the golden era of ps1 & ps2 .
We need to see quality games developed with alot of passion to make gamers satisfied .
We need to benefit from new AI technology to bring something new to games something like " nemesis systems " that used in shadow of morder and upgrade it to next level

The economics of games has changed a lot since the PS1 and PS2. As much as I would love a return to those days, it's not not at all likely.
