Did they go the Silent Hill HD collection route and re-release an earlier build of the games?

Yeah, I’m baffled as to how the hell they can even try to put ads that are longer than a minute, but then I started seeing ads that lasted for several minutes on up to two hours (all skippable after a few seconds, thankfully). My irritation lately is with the frequency of the ads. I’ll watch a 10 minute video that…

This bears scrutiny, but I think it might be a bit premature to start flagging this as a continuation of Blizzard’s toxic culture. It sounds like a group of folks coming out of Blizzard banded together to form their own studio. It’s a small enough dev team that it was probably just one group of friends that broke off…

Nintendo should be in its own category. I’m not the biggest Nintendo fan, but I give them credit that they aren’t really chasing the dream of the latest* and greatest* hardware and instead just pursue whatever idea strikes them. They struck big with the Wii by pulling in not only the avid Nintendo fans, but casual…

He’s (seemingly) made too much money for the shareholders. Too many people would still buy an Activision game with him at the helm so there’s no incentive for them to drop him. If profits dip because of the bad press, they’d be more likely to give him the ax, but until then, they’ll keep him.

I feel you could have replaced the end of that sentence with anything video game related and still made an article out of it.

The game has been out for 5 years. I agree that the online check shouldn’t be necessary for a single-player game, but at the same time, how can people be caught off guard that a game released 5 years ago with an always online component requires you to be online to access the whole game?

I could easily see this being a case of Netflix not doing their research. Besides, at the end of the day, it’s a variant timeline and I don’t know that one line of dialogue is going to somehow rob this woman of all her accomplishments, given that they still did happen and I don’t imagine most of the people watching…

Are there any loot boxes that unlock the original Jake from State Farm guy?

Venom, who is confirmed to be voiced by Tony Todd

There is an argument that they have to target things like this because copyright law insists that they protect their IP or risk losing it. How applicable that is here is something lawyers would have to decide, but there is a shred of possibility that they’re doing this because they have to and not because they want…

Probably with the soundtrack gutted as well, seeing that the originals were released before people were really aware of licensing rights actually needing to exist after the original release. If they’re not aiming higher than an ambitious cash grab, then they definitely won’t secure the rights to every song.

Definitely something more along the lines of “Here’s some games that you might have missed dropping this month that are easy to forget because we spend most of our time reporting on AAA releases because advertisers”

“Blizzard is proud to announce that they have settled on a new name for the problematic McCree. From this point forward, the character will be named Cosby Weinstein.”

Same here. I have never had a problem locating a new console until this generation. It wasn’t helped that every local retailer was handcuffed to the “buy it from our website” sales approach. Actually selling the consoles in store would curb a lot of the scalping since no one is going to physically go pick up the…

38 Studios filed for bankruptcy in 2012, but in 2016 the SEC also took action alleging investment fraud, saying “Investors weren’t fully informed when deciding to purchase the bonds that 38 Studios faced a funding shortfall even with the loan proceeds and could not develop the video game without additional sources of…

I remember getting pissed off while watching Contagion last year. I hadn’t seen the movie before, but was at least aware of the premise. The movie itself was good. But watching a fictional scenario play out better than the actual scenario was extremely frustrating.

We need a lawn mowing game with the scope of Farm Simulator and the lax restrictions of House Flipper. Wander a neighborhood on your lawnmower or run around with a weed eater. Pop down to the store to get more equipment or parts. Get a crew of friends together to help mow grass or just have a demolition derby in some…

Why the focus on the Switch in the article? All throughout the article, you point out that it would be a multiplatform release, yet the title of the article makes it sound like a Switch exclusive and when first mentioning the remaster, you make it a point of singling out the Switch as one of the platforms.

You can add external drives to the PS5, right? Why is the perceived complexity of this such a big deal? It doesn’t sound much more complicated than replacing the drive in the PS3/4. I get that not everyone is tech savvy, but there is a perfectly functional alternative to dropping in an SSD, so why the uproar?
