For those interested in the PC version of Crysis Remastered, Crytek decided to wait until very recently to reveal that version will be Epic Games Store exclusive at launch.

Aside from the release date, Crytek slid in some more info about the remaster. Somewhere along the line, Epic secured Crysis Remastered as an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC. Crytek, no stranger to being in dire financial straits, probably leapt at the opportunity for Crysis Remastered's development to be automatically profitable.

As for technical capabilities, Crysis Remastered is said to have "high-resolution textures up to 8K, HDR support, temporal anti-aliasing, screen space directional occlusion, global illumination, state-of-the-art depth fields, new light settings, motion blur, parallax occlusion mapping, screen space reflections and shadows, new particle effects, and more." Also, PS4 Pro and Xbox One X players will get console ray tracing. PC supports Nvidia DLSS technology and ray tracing on RTX cards.

I'm all for Sprint. if you want real classic Halo then play MCC.

It's not uncommon for me to argue that Halo 5 has the best feeling multiplayer of Halo to date. Something about sprinting, sliding, dashing and doing cheeky hovers makes me feel like a super hero.
I've gotten back into Halo2a weeks ago and I've learned to love it. Tbough I'm back on an Apex kick now.

I was actually kinda looking forward to it, but it looks like it will either never come out or be a hufe flop at $400. What are they thinking? You can get one of those crappy AtGames 2600's for like $50

* 343 Industries is currently denying recent rumors of development for the Xbox One version of Halo Infinite being shelved in favor of only developing the game for the Xbox Series X.
https://twitter.com/Unyshek/status/1298334578721996801

* For those who own Fall Guys but have been finding it to be less fun to play recently due to rampant cheaters, developer Mediatonic studios announced that an upcoming patch will tweak the game's anti-cheat system to boot cheating players after the end of a round instead of currently only at the end of a match.
https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...s-601615.phtml

* Update to recent Fornite lawsuit news as a judge recently gave a partial ruling both in favor and against Epic. The judge sided with Epic in granting a temporary order to prevent Apple from pulling their Unreal Engine developer tools software from the App Store but sided against Epic in their request to have Fornite reinstated. Official reason for the decision against Fornite was the judge stated that Epic's deliberate actions and not Apple were the cause for the game's removal.

* Nintendo is once again rumored to be currently working on a new Switch Pro model that is rumored to feature support for 4K graphics and be released at some point next year.

The more I hear about how Avengers works, the less I want it.

Its "armor" system is stat based, like Anthem. There's no visual change. That was a huge criticism of Anthem, and I don't like it here either. Showing off the armor you've earned is honestly a big part of loot based games, and removing that really takes a lot of fun out of the grind. Loot based games only work if the loot pool is diverse and exciting. This doesn't look like a lot of work was put into it. Feels tacked on.

Anthem did it so they could sell cosmetic armor as microtransactions, and it's no different for Avengers. They're just sneakier about it. Every character has their own seperate battle pass with cosmetic skins. You can grind to unlock it all in game, or you can spend money to unlock the skins. If it's anything like 99% of battle passes, it will have glacial progress speed to tempt rank up purchases.

Just about every "live service" game with the exception of Monster Hunter World has stumbled out of the gate, and this is looking like another in a long line of games that get "fixed" later on.

Wish we could have just gotten something like Spider-man.

Injustice 2 is a fighting game, and it has a better loot system than this loot based game.

Activision announced the next gen versions of their upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War game will be getting a $10 price hike.

This becomes the 2nd game confirmed to be getting a price hike for next gen following Take Two's announcement for NBA 2K21.

In a blog post breaking down the game’s different editions, the company tucked away that detail towards the end of the page. This makes Black Ops Cold War the second next-gen game, after NBA 2K21, to have a starting price of $70 on next-gen consoles.

Because Activision has never talked about this price increase publicly, we’re not yet sure if all of its next-gen games will also start at $70. In 2K Games’ case, at least, the publisher was hesitant to confirm a flat increase to $70 across its entire catalogue, opting instead to set prices on a game by game basis.

Think Nintendo can have a larger market impact with cheaper games that are still awesome.


I completely understand the rationale of hours invested into money's worth, but $70 just seems steep for a single purchase. As buggy and fucked as many games were at launch this gen, the quality drastically needs to improve.


Hopefully better tech will allow for that, but something tells me the driving force of "quarterly reports" will still produce meh results.

Oh with Microtransactions, seasonal battle passes, 'roadmaps', and such there's no more incentive to release a completed functional game. The bubble will burst and f2p+seasonal passes will likely become common.

Square-Enix has been releasing new articles on their website all week long about Avengers, and they've honestly gone a long way to soothing some of the worries I've had with this game. It SOUNDS like there is a lot of content beyond the campaign. That's where a lot of these types of games stumble out of gate.

Also, the battle pass style challenge cards that each character has, is not time gated. You can take all the time you want to complete them. The limited time factor is what makes most battle passes such a predatory tactic. So that's a big tic mark in it's favor, with me.

Still feeling cautious about it, but I'm definitely also feeling more optimistic. I've been a Marvel fan since I was 5 years old, so I was always going to get it. Just a matter of whether it was at launch or on sale for $20. The big War Table presentation tomorrow could seal the deal one way or the other.

I'm already ready to Assemble. My buddy got the reg edition otherwise I would have played today, but I'm good til the official launch. I really hope they go past Avengers and make this a general platform for the Marvel universe. X-Men, F4, solo heroes, etc.

According to a report from Bloomberg, AT&T has recently changed their mind regarding plans to sell off their Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment gaming division due to their current serious financial debt situation.

Quote:
Originally Posted by Destructoid

A sale was an intriguing scenario, as Microsoft was rumored to be interested in buying the whole WBIE portfolio. That includes developers such as Rocksteady, Traveller's Tales, Avalanche Software, NetherRealm, Monolith, and WB Montreal. Collectively, a sale was estimated to be valued around $4 billion.

The impetus for exploring the idea of selling WBIE is because AT&T reportedly has about $154 billion in debt after acquiring WarnerMedia and DirectTV. However, the video game unit is apparently staying put as AT&T opts against some fast cash to pay down a very small percentage of what it owes.

Thought that was kind of weird at first, having two archers as the first dlc characters, but it seems like it’s for story purposes. It’s a two part story likely having the player use Kate to free Hawkeye from AIM’s control, and then playing Hawkeye in Part 2.

Looked like Hawkeye had a Katana, so he’ll likely lean into his Ronin skills, while Kate will use her teleportation. Hopefully their archery abilities are varied and not just cut and paste.

Also Black Panther is all but confirmed. They declined to make an official announcement out of respect for Boseman’s passing. Seems like Wakanda will be connected to or maybe even the setting for a raid.

The marketplace prices are pretty absurd. Not the worst I’ve seen but still. They need to work on that. People were saying you can save the credits you get from the challenge cards to purchase future cards, but I honestly think it’s a better value to pay $10 for the card and save the credits earned to cherry pick stuff from the market.

It’s already been revealed that there’s buckets of skins, emotes, nameplates, etc. available to get just through playing so this isn’t a deal breaker. Just disappointing. If this game has the continuous, meaningful content it says it will, I would of liked to support them with a skin purchase now and then, but not at those prices.

Hopefully it’s something they’re willing to take feedback on, but I doubt it. The whales justify this kind of thing every time.

There were actually a lot of people let down by the beta, and now that they've gotten the full game in hand, they're turning their opinions around and giving it shining reviews.

The beta poorly represented the game just like everything else in it's marketing.

CD Projekt Red currently denying recent rumors of their upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 game will require at least 200GB of free space on a harddrive in order to be playable.

The company stated the actual size of the game will be comparable to other recent modern games.

Basis for the rumor revolves around a recent tech video that showed off the game's graphical and technical abilities using the new Nvidia 30XX graphics cards. That led to some people thinking to achieve those very high fidelity results, the game's file size must be very bloated as a result.

If they provide enough good, quality free content I might be willing to splurge on a skin once in a while, if I have extra cash.

But I’d probably spend a lot more if it was cheaper. I pretty much bought anything that caught my eye in sfv, because for 5 bucks you get a new skin with 12 different colors.

Just take my bank account Nintendo

Play three of Mario’s greatest 3D platform adventures—all in one package!

Play three classic games at home or on the go—all in one package on the Nintendo Switch™ system! Jump into paintings in Super Mario 64™, clean up paint-like goop in Super Mario Sunshine™, and fly from planet to planet in Super Mario Galaxy™.

Run, jump, and dive with ease!

Make Mario move using the Nintendo Switch system’s Joy-Con™ controllers. You can also pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend to play the Super Mario Galaxy game in Co-Star Mode! Mario’s movements are as smooth as ever with HD resolution for each game, while still retaining the look and feel of the originals.

Listen to timeless Super Mario tunes

Listen to a total of 175 iconic tunes from all three games! Whether you want to get up and dance or take a minute to relax—this collection has music to fit your mood!

Discover (or rediscover) three of Mario’s most iconic 3D platform adventures, all in one package, available on the Nintendo Switch™ system. Experience Mario’s first foray into 3D platforming in the Super Mario 64™ game, originally released in 1996. Wall jump, backflip, and even fly as you explore paintings and collect Power Stars to save Princess Peach!
Soak up the sun in the Super Mario Sunshine™ game, originally released in 2002, and spray the goop away with your water-spouting pal, FLUDD! You’ll need to collect Shine Sprites and clear the picturesque Isle Delfino of pollution—just look out for Bowser Jr.
Defy gravity as you explore space in the Super Mario Galaxy™ game, originally released in 2007! Help Rosalina restore her ship by collecting Power Stars and save Princess Peach. Gently shake a Joy-Con™ controller to activate Mario’s Spin ability or pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend for some extra help in Co-Star Mode*.
Even when you aren’t playing, you can enjoy the sounds that these worlds (and galaxies!) are so famous for. With three games, modern upgrades, and music-player mode, this collection is filled with fun for both new players and 3D platforming Mario masters. Super Mario 3D All-Stars will be available as a limited-run retail edition and a digital edition that is available for a limited time until the end of March 2021.

Also a cool looking augmented reality Super Mario kart thing.

Xbox Series S model is currently expected to cost $299 based on a recent video leak.

Also the console itself is smaller and a lot thinner compared to the more powerful Series X model.

Oof that's an ugly box though. The Series X looks like a minifridge, the PS5 looks like a giant router....but they both look far better than the 1980's intercom speaker that is apparently the Series S.

Hope they at least have an option for that (and the PS5) in black though. Not a huge fan of white consoles because they don't match any of my stuff and will stick out like a sore thumb.

I have never in my life cared how a console looks. It's the least looked at thing in my life.

Couple torx security screws with a white finish = lots of custom cases if you wanna go that route. Love taking apart white controllers and doing work on them, can be fun.



Bonus if it goes retro into an old school intercom, complete with a dome attachment over the speaker.
