Hey everybody! We’re back from a week hiatus and two out of your three hosts have fallen ill, so you’ll have to excuse us while we try not to cough into our mics. Not even this great northeastern plague can keep us from telling you about the great giveaways coming up on the site during the 12 Days of Evil going on right now! Then we have a nice chat about puzzle games as Kragg gives impressions of Ilomilo, and Pwnophobia takes a little bit more about Super Scribblenauts. Then in the main event Modeps and Pwn talk about how much they absolutely love Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood. Finally, Pwn reviews the less than stellar Thrustmaster Ferrari controller for PS3 and Jim explains why Mickey is far from Epic. All this, WoW Cataclysm, and a shocking surprise announcement you won’t want to miss, on this weeks Shotgun!
The hits keep on coming at BlizzCon 2023 after the announcement of World of Warcraft Cataclysm Classic.
The xpac that is still known by the majority of wow players as, the downfall of wow, it did nothing but lose subs from then on but releasing it as classic is good idea ?? Ok
"Hello everyone, we have more details to share concerning the upcoming decommissioning of online services affecting several AC titles, including additional information regarding the DLC for these titles."
When will you decommission this new one? I’m only asking so I can be happier by not buying it at full price.
The dog Chorizo from FAR CRY 6 has wheelchair legs, so is hardly a decommissioned pet. In fact very useful for digging up dirt.
Immersed Gamer writes: "Ubisoft came out with the announcement that some of their classic titles are shutting down their servers. While this is not entirely surprising, the next bit is quite shocking. As Ubisoft states in regard to many of said classic games, “additionally, the installation and access to DLC will be unavailable”.
The wording is a little vague, so the actual paid DLC could be safe. But it doesn’t change the fact that multiplayer modes of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Rayman Legends, and Driver San Francisco will surely be missed. Especially since no alternative exists in many of those cases. This happens to unveil right next to our story where I essentially beg Atlus to port SMT to modern consoles alongside Persona.
Seems like videogame preservation is on the down-low…"
And you want us to go all digital? This is the bull sh*t that makes me apprehensive to an all digital future. You corpo guys don’t understand game preservation or it’s importance.
Companies who withdraw support should be legally made to patch games to enable the 'owner' to create and host their own MP lobbies. This is theft
