Royal Mail are kicking off 2020 with a dose of nostalgia in the form of the Video Games Special Stamps issue this January!
Pokemon games that we feel should get a second life and be given the remaster or revival treatment.
I was into the idea of a Gale and Colosseum remaster but with how Nintendo has been handling their remaster I don't want em anymore personally. Pokemon pinball would most likely end up being a 60 dollar port too
Yeah Pokemon Pinball would be great as a 20 dollar game. 40 max if they include a ton of content.
1990-2000 truly was a great decade for some timeless classic releases on PC. Fill yourself with pure nostalgia as we take a look back at some of the best games released during this time.
There’s been a few articles popping up lately suggesting nostalgia is a ‘problem’. I’ve always found this concept quite confusing, as it seems to ignore any positives in the name of trying to approve a point.
i approved the article because it brings an interesting point. But i do disagree with it. Like JasonKCK said there is far more problem in the game industry right now.
Overwhelming increased in cost production and boardroom/shareholder calling the shot.
Dlc everywhere ugh ...
over saturation of crap like on Steam green-light. funny fact about he crap that Steam got in 2016.
40% of the whole Steam library ( everything ) came out in 2016. Lotssssssss of crap
I agree that I hate how revenue is being earned, various pay methods etc. But it's also true that competition is at an all time high, tech is movie exponentially, and no one wants to pay even $60 for games that cost so much more to produce. Add in the added risk for AAA especially as mentioned, and it's tough. We see what happened this fall with WD2 and T2. By most accounts EA and Ubi did just what we wanted and toned down micros, and we did NOT reward them. Instead we bought Multiplayer only shooters at full price with micros.
Just a yr and 2 ago, we condemned games such as these. FF14 is doing well but many hate the sub option, yet ESO is b2p, and many sub anyway. In addition, they add these absurd random loot boxes with rewards ya can't get in game. Add to that $50 mounts etc. and it's getting to be too much!
So, what is the answer b/c we have become a subsidized country. We live month to month and rarely have enough $ to fork out at one time. So, we pay on average much more over time than we would in one installment. And we let companies make their money with the nickel and dime strat.
I guess the fact remains that if the game is good and we are willing to pay, we will. If it isn't, we won't. Has nothing to do with whether they are honest or moral in their financial motives.
Im going to have to read those original articles out of curiosity. I find it a bit odd
Nostalgia is exactly the opposite. It reminds us of times where games were complete at launch, fully functioning and weren't riddled with DLC and microtransactions abominations.

Oh man I can't wait to get my hands on these!
This is a great opportunity missed... I honestly think some box art or concept art would have worked so much better...
The Designers Republic stuff for wipeout alone is amazing. Some of the best work for an IP to date and still stand up so long after the first release. Instead they opted for some lazy screenshots.
Wasted opportunity
