I hope some day after Microsoft lets the IP go back to Insomniac that they get Sony to fund a sequel so it can go cross-platform.

I loved Crackdown 1, loathed Crackdown 2... and my fear is this looks exactly like Crackdown 1. Mechanically, everything seems exactly the same. And movement in games like this has been revamped and improved upon since the first title. My fear is this is going to feel clunky and less refined than something that also…

You gotta know the politics. Have to. I feel like “knowing politics” is the new “knowing belief system,” which has always been (at least pretty) important.

False. There were no Mario hats nor mustaches in the provided clip.

Kind of surprised they didn’t bother having these announcements in the pipeline for last year, the series’ 30th anniversary.

My mother’s name is Martha and the character from The Americans was still the first Martha I thought of.

Hat. My bad. Fixed!

Correction: it lets you play a T-rex wearing a Mario hat and sporting a mustache. That needs to be called out. Because it’s gloriously dumb and it makes me giggle like a little kid.

They not only “added” mods to a game by way of ripping off existing content created by its most loyal fans, now they’re charging for it AND turning it into an awful microtransaction-laced system where you’ll likely purchase “points” in increments that don’t actually equate to the cost of full items, thus forcing you…

Bethesda was utter garbage. EA set a low bar and then Bethesda scraped underneath it.

I don’t count exclusives if they’re on a subset of the hardware. I can’t get excited for any PSVR game if I don’t own it. And NOTHING they showed wowed me enough to consider buying one, either. A shitty-looking military sim, a platformer, and some cartoon mouse thing doesn’t intrigue or excite me. PSVR might as well…

I fully comprehend how much manpower and engineering muscle it must take to pull these feats off, which is exactly why I’m so confused by their investment in it. The data is leaning toward no one using it. Which makes it baffling they keep backing it up.

I really like Sony, usually, but I can’t deny that was them sitting on their laurels. There was nothing in that show that was new and exciting. At all.

Did you miss Ubisoft cutting to a video feed of someone playing AC Origins on a screen in broad daylight and trying to discuss the graphical fidelity? Lol.

Nothing says “buy our new game on new hardware” like filiming someone play that game on a different screen in broad daylight. My goodness.

Even “regularly” means nothing if that means you’re hopping in for a single session of CoD: Blops 2 a week, but spend 10+ hours playing a One title.

50% of the time spent playing games is through BC? I find that hard to believe.

People used to be able to say Blizzard didn’t make FPS games either. Look how that turned out.

You said “contemporary Diablo,” which led me to believe you meant the latest. Why not say “the original Diablo” if that’s what you meant? If someone said “contemporary Final Fantasy” no one, not a single person, would think you meant the first title. Nice try, though.
