I get the feeling Mr. Vereecke has never actually played a videogame in his life.

I have six different friends who’ve worked at or currently work at Gamestops in the area, three of them at managerial level. From everything they’ve told me over the years, this part sticks out to me:

I’m all for it, unironically.

It doesn’t need to be a 100+ hour, open-world GaaS epic.

To make a game that has the same impact, you need to be able to rethink things drastically, to add whole new innovations, which a remake cannot do.

It’s almost like the games clearly designed with a small, handheld screen in mind play best on a small, handheld screen! (Excluding Witcher 3. That’s just an anomaly that no one will stop playing.)

“I don’t agree with how he went about it, but it’s his religion and we have to respect it just like people apart of the lgbtq community should be respected,” another replied.

Likewise.

I wanna say this is a satire post.

It comes down to getting people into the ecosystem. Their exclusive games are loss leaders.

RE:Verse had major server problems and the demo was very barebones. I enjoyed its premise, though. It plays like a combination between RE5 Versus and RE:ORC, but with the RE2/RE3 remake shooting mechanics. I enjoyed it when I could play it, but Capcom made it so hard to play because the servers could never handle the…

There’s definitely a graphical quality gap between Gears 2 & 3. Gears 3 is when they started using mocap for cutscene animation and made significant tweaks to the way UE3 handled lighting and greenery, which was a big reason for the visual overhaul from Gears 2's “brown everywhere” look. I’d love it if Gears 2 got an…

The only thing I’m positive on is a “Marcus Fenix Collection” style remaster of the original Gears games. There have been rumblings about it with industry insiders this year, and Microsoft has been making a PC push the last few years. Outsourcing the 360 games to a team like Splash Damage to scale up and re-release…

That’s a printer.

You know, if they’d just do a huge digital sale on PS3/Vita games before the stores go down, they’d make a fair bit of money off me.

This feels like a fairly regular thing for games-as-a-service shooters now, just exacerbated by the fact that BF2042 was extra maligned at launch.

This still doesn’t solve the mystery of where Shadow the Hedgehog was delisted from. I’m thinking it was a typo.

I didn’t know Heroes was ever on PC at all. So it was a boxed only version?

I can’t speak for macroeconomic trends, but I’ve been on Gamepass since day one and I treat it just like any movie/TV streaming service.

Other unpopular games delisted in this purge included Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic and the Black Knight.
