A new Halo game is coming in 2024, but it's not for Xbox consoles, PC or even the arcade. Instead, it's for your tabletop.

Halo in miniature! More fun than Infinite I bet...

I love how we continue to embrace the contrary narratives that live service/GaaS games suck and are ruining the industry and that every multiplayer game that doesn't have consistent content updates sucks.

TheColbertinator107d ago

I don't know if there is some clear viewpoint on live service games that everyone will agree on.

I only play one live service game on PC but avoid the rest like the plague. Meanwhile I'd like to play arcade games that didn't add too much bloated content from the old days but my favorite MP games all had their servers shut down.

@TheColbertinator

I mean I think if everyone was honest with themselves, that would be true. That's kind of my point. Anytime a game gets announced that even smells like a live service, we all start dogpiling on it and saying that GaaS is ruining the industry. But as soon as a game is launched and left to stand on the merit of its gameplay without heinous progression systems, micro transactions, and slight alterations to maps, we start crying about how there aren't enough updates and the devs sent the game out to die.

“…but my favorite MP games all had their servers shut down.”

I feel that.

I like tabletop games. It could be good if done well and has some well thought out deep systems but many of these licensed table top games are reskins of other generic tabletop games and are just cash grabs,

Mantic games have potential, though. They made great games out of the Hellboy and Mars Attacks licence.
Looks like they've made a fun game out of Worms, too, but it is yet to be fulfilled.

I'm interested in this and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do

Yep it’s wait and see for these games. Sometimes they turn out great.

If they wanted to, I feel like a Halo Wars 3 would sell like crazy right now.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
