From that article it looks like they're talking about doing more shitty spin off games like the dancing and mystery dungeon stuff :(

I was fine with all the spin-offs I'm not obligated to play until I found out they they went and recast Rise with Ashly Burch and I died a little inside.

As for the core games, https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...keYourTime.gif

Danish film studio Nordisk Film went and bought Avalanche Studios for about $103 million dollars.

They're known for the Just Cause series and Mad Max. And they're working on Rage 2 with ID Software.

In a bit of eyebrow-raising news, the Korean gaming board has given a rating to a potential Borderlands Remaster for PC/PS4/XB1.

I know we've only recently had a discussion on all the games in the series, but this would include also all the GotY DLCs along with the main game of BL1, and if this proves true, I'd definitely grab it.

I get the feeling that if something does come of this news, we could potentially see a release on or around the 10th anniversary of the game next year or maybe we'll see it included as part of a special pre-order bonus with BL3.

I anxiously await further developments.

ClockShot 05-31-2018 06:43 PM

Rumor mill working big time as the next game in the Assassins' Creed series will be called Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

It'll be set in Greece.

You have the choice between a male or female protagonist. However I don't know if this will be like Syndicate or not.

And, for the first time in the series, you have dialogue options.

Finally, the game should be on store shelves before March 31st, 2019.

Sega confirmed the rumors of a new Sonic racing game being in development after pretty much giving up on trying to keep it a secret due to the amount of leaks recently.

The product listing - for the Nintendo Switch version of the title - also lists a whole host of features coming to the rubber-burning release. Team Sonic Racing will feature 15 class-based characters from across the Sonic universe, customisation options for your vehicle's appearance and performance and, apparently, a Story Mode.

It also appears that the "Team" element of the game's title will be emphasised, with the game encouraging players to "Race as a team, win as team" before going on to mention Team Specials and Team Ultimate maneuvers. The game's online and co-op modes will support 12 players and feature four player split-screen.

Wish it came with an actual silenced pistol so I could blow my brains out.

Kalyx triaD 06-08-2018 11:19 PM

No, gaming is not gonna be stream based in the next generation or the one after that. These are the thoughts of somebody ignorant of the importance of feedback. Nobody is playing street fighter or a shooter through streaming. Not unless the input lag is non-existent.

I really hate videogame futurists. They all talk mad, fantasy shit that never happens. The future tends to be common sense advances that don't disrupt how people play games now.

Sepholio 06-09-2018 12:03 AM

Yeah streaming is nowhere near good enough to even fathom that nonsense. Too many variables.

ClockShot 06-09-2018 07:14 PM

Ooooooh. That's a sexy collector's edition for Hitman 2. :drool:


Sooooooooo tempting.

Sepholio 06-09-2018 07:30 PM

Uhg EA announces game streaming service. Everyone talking about having streaming services will negate the need for expensive hardware. I'm sitting here like....all the different subs you'll have plus the cost of higher speed internet to support streaming in high quality will quickly surpass the cost of the console/PC. Plus when they go out of business or decide to turn off streaming of whatever game, you lose it forever.

F. That.

Should have known the retards at EA would do this.

ClockShot 06-09-2018 07:42 PM

Yves Guillemot over at Ubisoft believes that's the future, too.

He thinks the next console generation will be the last then everybody's going to a streaming service.

Ruien 06-09-2018 07:49 PM

So everything will be like the Xbox game pass?

Yep. That is the future, not this streaming shit. Paying a fee for a whole library of games will become extremely attractive by next generation. Particularly when one of the big three makes a 1st party game exclusive to the service. If it's a big enough game, that's a wrap on conventional 1st party releases.

Destor 06-09-2018 09:01 PM

Next gen is right around the corner. We arent switching from physical in the next 3 years

Emperor Smeat 06-09-2018 10:03 PM

Could be doable but really depends on how long the next gen lasts. Even then its probably at least 2 gens away instead of 1.

If the next gen has 2 upgrade phases and is more hybrid-like, that would create the time and bridge needed for the gen afterwards to be download-only. The download-only gen then bridges into the cloud/streaming gen. At that point, you'd be into the 2030s and enough time has passed for all the groundwork to be done and ready.

Frank Drebin 06-10-2018 02:53 PM

Maybe by then they'll introduce 3D or VR or motion tech. Things people have been clamoring for, ya know?

For those interested or own Detroit: Become Human, an upcoming update pretty much renders the game's ending moot.

Main reason its being done is due to a lot of players have been asking for a very specific request and Quantic Dream caved in even though it messes up the vision and goal they had for the game's story.

Small warning as the link contains spoilers to the game's ending for those who haven't finished it yet.
