It looks like the human characters are missing for the bulk of the story, but who knows if that’s true of the movie or just Paramount knowing the audience of The Game Awards.

This will at least be...a different kind of bleah than Forces, so I’m interested in seeing more.

I can’t think of the last time an open-world game had a super-fast main character that wasn’t literally a car. Infamous Second Son’s neon ability, maybe?

Man, I haven’t been able to get away from Hailee Steinfeld over the last month or so. Not complaining, ‘cause she’s great, but I’m not used to an actor having major roles in like 3 different things over the course of a year, even if just in promotional material

If a had a nickel for every time Joel MacHale prominently featured in a video game that brought together multiple IPs, prominently including Batman, and called them all different dimensions, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Yeah, but he’s still moderately famous on YT, and has some solid professional voice acting roles too.

I looked up this Car Thing nonsense and, aside from the addition of a giant, tactile knob (something that, honestly, I wouldn’t be against seeing on actual phones), it is a worse experience than the Car View mode.

 To “like” music tracks at red lights.

It’s not just LEGO. Over the last decade, Every arm of Marvel has slowly forgotten that the X-Men and FF are A Thing.
I have a big poster on my wall that’s a massive collage of dozens of various Marvel characters, and Wolverine isn’t there!

If you already purchased a GTA game, you can still download and play your old versions...once the Rockstar Social Club launcher is back up, at least. But if you don’t already have them, you can’t buy them anymore.

The only reason Nintendo is a counterexample is because they stubbornly refuse to mark down any of their games.

As long as they keep making obscene amounts of money on GTAO and RDO, I don’t see why R* would stop any of this nonsense.

In order for that to work as cleanly as it does in the Halo and Monkey Island remasters, you basically need the whole game running in both versions at the same time, which is a lot to ask.

Believe it or not, mocapped ASL was going to potentially be a feature in Half Life 2: Episode 3:

From the quoted piece in the article, this emulator only guarantees that games boot. It does not guarantee that any or all games can or will play from start menu to credits, or that they would do so without issues. 

Are you not aware that there have been official Mario LEGO sets for over a year now?

Honestly, it looks like this can be a “switch that magically runs PC games”...as long as you exclusively stick to games that have green checkmarks.

I find it hilarious that exactly none of the first-party games shown were fully compatible.

I dabble in IT, thanks to some temp jobs.

I’ve never understood how bad Microsoft is at making game clients on their own damn OS

Yeah, this is how I felt about the Telltale GOTG game. I like the movie versions of the Guardians a lot, but the comic versions (particularly as written by Abnett and Lanning) had their own appeal that’s been conspicuously ignored ever since...well, I guess since Bendis’ run on the comics that started shortly before…
