Now we wait for the journos to backtrack and try to claim they never attacked the game or its developers, just like with Bayonetta and Nier.

Black Myth: Wukong is out, and it’s already a major success. On day one, it broke Cyberpunk: 2077’s Steam record for most consecutive players in a single-player game and surpassed Palworld to become the second most-played game on Steam, behind only PUBG.

I’m liking it a lot. It feels good to play, and the story has me invested.

Black Myth: Wukong is still being targeted by game journos. This Gamespot piece included a section on the allegations that are by now widely known to be invented via malicious mistranslation. The video has a 7.5/1 dislike to like ratio.

Save for the 5 or so people. I feel bad for them.

The Borderlands movie is a complete phail.

The Dead Rising Remake is getting the modern audience treatment. First there was the Larry Chiang redesign that was meant to make him look white, now Capcom is tackling the male gaze.

@BikerDash
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking looking at it.

A Bethesda game?

IGN’s 10-minute gameplay preview of Star Wars Outlaws has spent the last several days getting roasted and ratioed on all platforms. Ignoring the graphical fidelity, it looks like a game from the late PS2/early PS3 transitional era. The water effects and particle effects look out of place, the cutscene animations are weirdly janky, and the stealth system is primitive.

Before they give us Fallout 5, Bethesda should remaster 3 & NV for us PC players.

Tomorrow is the first day of Evo

Aniplex (Sony) and Pocketpair have partnered up to make a Palworld Entertainment Co. The announcement of a Playstation release for Palworld is likely not far off, but making a counterpart to Nintendo’s Pokémon Co. is a much bigger move than just that. I expect the manga, toys, and anime are coming. There’s no word on whether the Sony partnership means console exclusivity going forward.

*A Japanese dev thinks

So here’s what the Japanese himself think.

Sweet Baby Inc. has another headstone on its record. Surgent Studios, creator of Tales of Kenzera: Zau is laying off employees only three months after the game launched.

I can’t wait to see how they fuck them up. Niggerize half the cast and NPCs of all the games and change the story of AC1 so Altair kills Robert instead of convincing him not to fight because muh crusaders ebil? Turn Ezio gay and give him a safe flaw instead of being a lecher? Side mission somehow based around trannies? Claudia is immediately a strong and powerful woman instead of a naive girl who doesn’t want to work, who grows into a capable ally?

Ubisoft is going back and remaking the older AC games.

The original three Resident Evil coming to GOG which i am excited for. 1 is already available and 2 and 3 will follow.

@ANoobis
Good. It just seems like a game that only the “go watch porn” types will cry about it being gone.

@ANoobis
13 years late for that announcement. XP

Unless you’re talking purely about sales numbers in which case…I dunno, too early to call. I see all the usual suspects saying “eehh, I’ll play it anyway just because I wanna keep up with the story-”

As if the entire plot didn’t fall apart in DA2, and what survived the retconning from that game was utterly butchered in Inquisition.

Dragon Age looks like it will be joining Mass Effect and Saints Row as a killed franchise.

@Cyborg_pony
Isn’t SBI involved with it? That’s probably why.

Insomniac’s Wolverine is looking a lot like Spider-Man 2.

9 months after its intended release date, Paradox has decided to pull the plug on Life by You, its attempt at making a clone of The Sims, and with it, their new California studio.

They haven’t stated why. The announcement just gave some prattle about how the game ‘didn’t meet their expectations.’ And I can see why.

This is what you get when you form your studio in Berkeley:

To be fair, Portland is overcast for most of the year.
