Guys, in case you don’t remember, Max Payne happens inside a pulpy, comic book universe, almost borrowed from the 1990s classic Sin City (I believe Sin City was still publishing new chapters at the time the first game was released)

The AI Mario is right out of a nightmare.

I am getting convinced that in his new amateur Fox News anchor gig, Rupert Murdoch is being played by Vladimir Putin.

The saddest -and funniest, at the same time- part is all the people who turned their amateurish art into NFTs had to pay real money for the process. That money got somewhere, I just don’t know where.

There a hint of homo-eroticism I detected between Sepiroth and Cloud in the remake, and Rebirth is doubling down on that from what I’ve seen so far.

The idea would be: Fix Resident Evil 5, completely undo and change Resident Evil 6.

After playing Separate Ways a bit, you’re nailed it detecting the “bored office worker”. Wesker is basically an asshole boss, and you can see (in the game) she’s phoning it in for the paycheck and wants to be professional, but Wesker is definitively getting in her nerves. Her delivery is she talks through her teeth…

What about that social network that was purchased last year, and his owner started vandalizing it as soon as the deal closed.

I think the direction has to do more than the actress. Even in the script, you can tell the intention was to keep her more “mysterious”, and hold her poker-facey attitude until the DLC.

This means this DLC will be completely different than the original Separate Ways. This drastic departure from the original could be testing grounds for future plans for RE5 and RE6 remakes. I think many fans agree that RE5 and RE6 will have to be tweaked, and in the case of 6, practically everything in it should…

This is why the PS3 was the last console I bought (lack of backwards compatibility on the PS4 made it easier for me to exit the Sony ecosystem). I could play Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 without a monthly tax, and that was one of the reasons I chose the PS3 over the Xbox.

The irony of their communication coming out on X (formerly Twitter), a social medium that went from a digital town square to a digital bathroom stall in a matter of months.

Separate Ways looks like it’s going to be quite different from the original RE4 story, a good test to do more drastic changes to potential RE5 and RE6 remakes.

The trailer doesn’t confirm that Vincent will be playable, they could introduce him like Red XIII, which wasn’t playable in the last game. Confirmed playable:

People who say Gran Turismo doesn’t have a plot, sees a plot as a traditional game. While no one considers it so, one of the toughest videogame bosses I ever faced was Laguna Seca in the International S test for Gran Turismo 4. The corkscrew turn on that track is still seared in my head.

Octopath made money because its budget wasn’t the GDP of a small country, and it was actually good.

Octopath Traveler II was sandwiched between Forspoken and FFXVI and it was an unexpected smash hit. Unexpected because the marketing was terrible, if it existed at all.

Final Fantasy VII gacha game. It’s a terrible idea that somehow has become reality.

A game with that type of budget needs record sales to be considered a hit. The same thing happened with many hollywood movies that bombed, despite decent ticket sales.

PS5 exclusivity was a nail on that coffin. Even Sony is cushioning their sales with some PS4 and PC releases, that FF16 failed to even do that is head-scratching.
