Honestly, they should just remaster the rest of the Modern Warfare trilogy and release it as one package. People would be all over that.

I wonder if the movie portion of the "Golden Week" sale is working yet. Sony had it shut off earlier.

ClockShot 05-02-2017 06:30 PM

And, nice twist on the new Darksiders game. The brothers have a sister.

I guess I should pick up Darksiders 2 pretty soon.

That description for Assassin's Creed is enough to make me stay away from this installment.

2 characters.........again, and Egypt are automatic red flags for me.

Not at all. Sailing up and down the Nile on a barge, climbing the eventual pyramid, and killing either King Tut or Cleopatra ain't my idea of fun.

I'm with Hasney needs more pirating if they're going to put naval action back into the game. Or atleast make the boat headquarters.

I was never able to stay connected to NFS for more than 10 - 15 minutes. No other game gave/gives me trouble like that one. I was never able to really play it. Hopefully that changes as it is one of my favorites arcade racers.

IO Interactive is for sale. Huge fucking bummer considering how great the last Hitman was. Think the release model killed them, even though that was one of the better elements for me. Kept me coming back to it all year.

Fignuts 05-11-2017 03:29 AM

Damn. I was looking forward to another batch of levels.

#BROKEN Hasney 05-11-2017 06:35 AM

Speculation is squeenix have already invested in s2 so they'll punt it out there and sell off IO when it's done. Hope that's true.

Hopeful Hitman news:

the situation may not be as dire as it seems: According to German site Gamestar.de (Google translated), "Hitman ist gerettet"—which is to say, the rights to the Hitman franchise will remain with Io, rather than Square Enix, if and when the studio is sold or spun off. Furthermore, work on the second season is already "halfway to completion," the site said, and it's "definitely" going to happen.
