Shitty about Del Toro. The Silent Hills bit he was working on looked to be amazing.

Mother fucking publishers

I still have P.T. on my PS4. Will never delete it. Creepiest thing I have ever played and it's not even close.

I even had the book.

P.T. is phenomenal. Reminds me, got a friend coming over tonight and I must make her play it...

It seems "cool" to hate on the new Tony Hawk game due to its bad graphics, even though most people claim they "don't care about graphics as long as the game is good," so how do you know the game isn't good.

Mostly the developer Robomodo doing the last 3 Tony Hawk games. Even giving them a pass on the two that used the board, they managed to fuck up Tony Hawk HD. They had no other work to do other than re-create some levels that were already made, but in doing so managed to ruin the physics and pressing grind suddenly gave the world gravity like Jupiter and sucked you down.

The latest footage actually doesn't look too bad in motion graphically, but my god, the actually gameplay looks like HD2.

If they just made a game that played like Skate 3 or THPS2 looking like that, but with a new world for new consoles, I'd be all over it.

This sure as fuck doesn't look like a game made in 2015.

He even said the grind button also serves as a "slam button". In theory, it sounds somewhat useful I guess..... but I think it will lead to more of

Side-scrolling beat em up version of FFVII. Fun game.

Well, looks like more time with Mad Max and Taken King until then.

That Windows 10 anti-piracy feature only applies to MS licensed services, such as xbox live and the windows games, etc. Doesn't apply to anything that does not tie into one of their direct services.

Should be

But there are no guarantees.

Advance Wars 2 coming out for Virtual Console today

Never played a ton of AW games but my brother-in-law swears by them. I think I have a few GBA cartridges. Not sure. I've only dabbled in Fire Emblem games as well. Need to fix this whole scene.

Anyone got a Blops III beta code they wanna give away? Really wanna give it a shot.

Today's News:
1) Rebellion Developments and Valve have recently collaborated on a free DLC pack for Zombie Army Trilogy which adds Left 4 Dead series characters as playable characters in the game. Game itself is also currently having a sale on Steam to commemorate the release of the new DLC pack.

http://www.egmnow.com/platforms/ea-a...madden-nfl-16/

Got a code for preorder....gonna keep the preorder.

Blops III is the truth.

Had a match, saw the spawn camping, remembered I only like zombies in these things anyway, cancelled pre-order but might get it when it's cheap.

CoD's issues run deeper than spawn camping.

Really? I played for a few hours yesterday and had no spawn issues. On occasion sure, but to be honest, I couldnt figure out the spawn points, they seemed fairly random to me. Regardless, this is without a doubt an improvement over Ghosts and AW.

If you enjoyed Blops II, this wont disappoint.
