Eurogamer: "Xbox's Matt Booty has spoken more on the closure of Tango Gameworks earlier this year."
I call BS on this. All metrics were met apparently or was that another lie. There's something deeper happening within xbox's management
The gaming media better get on board with these sort of articles as MS buying up the industry means you guys won't get review copies or exclusive news unless you push the MS narrative.
The MS narrative "it's everyone else's fault."
WARNING ⚠️ SARCASM AHEAD WARNING ⚠️ sure they have an awful management with sexual harassment and embezzlement of funds so let’s close the studio we just purchased and leave games in the table. END OF SARCASM
( insert here a comic strip of guy thrown out of window for suggesting firing the management )
Limited Run Games, in cooperation with Square Enix, will release action adventure game Fear Effect for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC via Steam in 2025, the company announced.
What!? That is freaking great!!!! I really loved this game back in the day and was so pissed the Remake got changed and then eventually canceled. This is such great news that it’s the original. Will definitely get the plat for it.
so a ps1 game launched in modern platformos, mmmkay. I can play it already in emulators with high res, retroachievements support and more, doesn't make much sense.
While AAA games make headlines all over the internet, AA games are quietly and profoundly impacting the gaming industry with their creativity.
No sh!t, like that's one thing that I will give the modern game industry is the re-uprising of the mid-tier. It's not as big as it was during the PS2 like Golden era of the mid-tier, but it's pretty damn good at the moment.
I have enjoyed some amazing AA gaming this gen, and the Portal has been a surprising catylist for me getting into these.
Hades sold 7 mil on steam alone. Disco Alysium 2.7 just on steam. Plague tale Requiem(is this even AA?) is at 3 mill. How did they not get attention?
And Forespoken is on the attention getting side? It bombed! What a idiotic thumbnail.
SMTVengence is a game that is getting overlooked. Put that on the thumbnail.
Here are some examples of some smaller games that I'd recommend people give a go:
- Metal Hellsinger
- Katana Zero
- The Talos Principle 2
- Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
- Rollerdrome
- Trepang2
- Tinykin
- Another Crab's Treasure
- Sifu
- Ghostrunner
- Penny's Big Breakaway
- The Pathless
- Kena: Bridge Of Spirits
- Midnight Fight Express
- Jusant
- Solar Ash
- Outer Wilds
- Furi
- Superhot
- The Forgotten City
- Crow Country
- Signalis
And obviously stuff like Hotline Miami but that's an obvious choice. Great game
Good read. This will be a good comment thread. I can not wait to get some good laughs.
so let's get that out in the open. i appreciate all forms of gaming. currently i own and play pc/wii/360/ps2 and am looking forward to next year for a ps3 when the titles come out. BR/hd dvd means nothing to me, i refuse to spend $30 for a movie i'll watch once. i'm in the US group. but i must say that sony has been acting beyond retarded with the whole issue of BC. they took personal jabs at MS's system for not being 100% BC yet at launch they themselves weren't and now europe, aka sonyland, is getting it worse than US/Japan did. their arrogance is getting the better of them, follow what you preach sony!
BC might not be your choice but imagine those who already sold/traded in their ps2 hardware only to find out their favorite titles MIGHT NOT work until some patched firmware months down the line. and proof on why you would want BC, developer's make different versions of games. fifa 07 on ps2 >>> fifa 07 on the next gen systems; likewise suits for the other soccer title PES. and that's just soccer titles. i picked up fifa 07 for ps2 over 360 simply because it had more to offer and didn't feel like a pretty game with missing tidbits.
in the end it's simple really, if u go on preaching 100% BC stating how that's another plus; then do so. do come later on when you have troubles and say 'well, it's not really that important'
i stopped believing what sony has said since the ps2 (where was the aol client? netscape browser? etc etc?!) and it seems the ps3 is following the same suit, no matter how powerful it is or how great the games will be for it. this is something they had to do, business is about making money, and hacking tidbits away to save on cost is smart, but not so smart when the consumer gets the brunt of the hacking
It is important, they are hypocrits. Hopefully the support will be strong. Blah. I'm drained.

"Of course, including the extra hardware drives up costs. The magazine adds that Sony plans on removing the PS2 chipset from future revisions of the PS3 hardware once it has finished development of a proper software-based PS2 emulator. Such a removal would help bring down costs for the system.
Sony has repeatedly stated that PS2 software would run on the PS3 through software emulation, leaving many to believe that the company had developed a powerful emulator for the older hardware. This would have been a particularly impressive feat, considering that even the PlayStation 2 originally used a combination of hardware and software to maintain backwards compatibility with original generation PlayStation games."
Really really old news. I cant believe people here are so bent out of shape.
at least the price will go down faster for gamers.
