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.

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. https://www.engadget.com/judge-prote...053428437.html * 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. https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...r-601587.phtml |

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. Quote:

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.

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. |

15 is actually less than I thought, being that I'm dressing up the most iconic characters in media today rather than spending $20 to dress up some asshole in a shooter.

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. https://twitter.com/Marcin360/status...91805627383808 https://www.destructoid.com/stories/...e-602399.phtml |

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.

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. |
