They really are the gift that keeps on giving, and this time it doesn't even have to do with Fallout 76, but DOOM Eternal. Oh, yay.
https://primagames.com/news/doom-ete...cheat-backlash At this rate, the likes of Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI will never see the light of day. Bethesda is dying. |

New Sony State of Play tomorrow will focus on The Last of Us 2.
Sorry. Still no PS5 news. Still worth a look regardless since the showcase they did for Ghost of Tsushima was fantastic. |

* According to a report from VentureBeat, Sony is currently rumored to be holding a PS5 event on June 3rd focusing on PS5 games currently in development. It is also currently rumored this event won't feature an official price nor release date announced but will focus more on actual gameplay for footage in response to the backlash Microsoft got from their recent Xbox Series X event.

Sony postpones their PS5 Games State of Play scheduled for Thursday due to Coronovirus, riots, and other stuff. Take your pick.

Seems Kojima's recent habit of bloating the budget for his games ended up backfiring on him since a new game his Kojima Productions studio was working on recently got cancelled.
Also seems Death Stranding sales on PS4 were not that great compared to expectations based on his praise focusing around the game being profitable in terms of breaking even. Quote:

I don't see the appeal at all. Played it for about 30 minutes, which is NOTHING in a Kojima game and wasn't impressed.
It's definitely unique, and I was told the game "opens up" in the 3rd or 4th act, but I don't think I could stick with it very long. Boring AF. |

Once it opened up I literally spent hours just building a massive region wide highway system for everyone to use. Then I connected all the hard to reach places with the powered ziplines. There was no point. But I couldn't stop. Knew it would make others lives easier. Ended up with a zipline system in the end that connected the entire game from start to finish, making what would be hours of trekking by foot take a few minutes at most. It was tedious. I hated it. But I couldn't stop. I just couldn't stop.

Kinda interested to see where they go with it, to be honest.
The "live service" could be interesting with "roster updates" if they were to allow for that kinda thing. Clearly, making a new character isn't just "BOOM! there he is!" but it would still be awesome. Last time I bought a WWE game was because of the Ric Flair collectors edition. Got that replica ring and a sweet piece of memorabilia. Piece of Flair's robe that was actually worn, and I got lucky and it matches the plaque it is mounted on. I didn't even finish playing that game, because it was shit. |

Cults, pirates, dictators, cavemen, mercs, post-apocalypse thugs (twice).
As much as I like Far Cry (well, some of them), they're running of settings and bad guys. |

One weapon skin by itself costs $8. Out of their fucking minds. |

I would argue every shooter series revolves around aesthetic and narrative themes that are common. Far Cry found its niche since rebooting from the 'wild man' thing and experimented with the open world thing. The 'you vs psycho cult with charismatic leader' thing seems to work for them and all they need is various settings.

Far Cry is honestly my favorite shooter series at this point by a wide margin. They simplified 5 a bit too much though. Need to go back to the more intricate hunting/upgrade system from the earlier games again. Regardless they have the core gameplay loop that tickles my fancy and they can keep doing it with different settings as long as they want and I'll continue to buy in.

It's the same with Assassins Creed tbh. They can keep those coming and I'll keep playing. Love every one of the mainline entries, even the ones most people consider shit like Unity. Love me some Ubisoft games.

Prrimal was great. If they stuck with the weird id be more down. Farcry, like AC before it, nreds some innovation. Its been stagnant for too long.

They should do a whole game where your high as a kite like the Yogi and Reggie missions from Far Cry 4.
Or maybe they should do a role reversal and have you be the cult leader trying to convince people to join your flock while others are trying to shut it down. |

Hmmm. Someone's got a chance to grab some good studios.
AT&T looking sell off the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment division they own. NetherRealm, Avalanche, and Rocksteady just a few under that umbrella valued at $4 billion. Take-Two, EA, and ActivisionBlizzard reportedly are sniffing about. https://www.ign.com/articles/rockste...-mortal-kombat |
