Maf Posted May 21, 2024 Share Posted May 21, 2024 I dunno how true this is but on Twitter I saw someone say the reason they bought these sites is to basically shut them down. Essentially the theory boils down to ad money and if there’s less big game sites to sell ads on then the sites that still exist can charge more. Not sure how true that is but there you go. I don’t particularly like Eurogamer UK, their tastes don’t really align with mine very much, but that’s an old ass site so it’ll be disappointing if it goes away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted May 21, 2024 Share Posted May 21, 2024 I think that's bad news from any angle, even though DF is the only entity on that list I frequently consult. They're usually rather transparent, I wonder if they're going to talk about it on their next podcast about what it might entail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted May 22, 2024 Share Posted May 22, 2024 Yeah I could see a lot of those going. Eurogamer were at least decent on YouTube but Aoife left (@radiofloyd can check my spelling), and they were already struggling to put out the fun multi-team member content, that killed it. If I was rich I'd have bought them, but I'm not so it will likely mean games media is going to get even more America focused Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted May 28, 2024 Share Posted May 28, 2024 Did all the indie devs have a meeting and say yo that pixel art shit is wack - from now on we all about those PS1 polygons Overall the game looks unique, but there’s something in the gameplay that looks familiar to me but I can’t put my finger on it.

Maf Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 @mfnick Dragon is Dead was a trailer on IGN YT Another Space Opera was in this compilation trailer There are a few good looking and bad looking games in here, but Another Space Opera really grabbed me so thought I would post that one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted June 8, 2024 Share Posted June 8, 2024 This is a really random remaster... Think I owned this back on the PS2 but barely made any progress... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted June 9, 2024 Share Posted June 9, 2024 ^ theres a table flipping simulator in that video a few posts up, wonder if there'll be a table peripheral to make it just like the arcade game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted June 9, 2024 Share Posted June 9, 2024 CoD BO6 is always online, even the campaign, so they can stream in textures Even with the texture streaming and not being downloaded, the install size for this game is over 300GB https://www.eurogamer.net/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-always-online-including-campaign-due-to-continuous-texture-streaming Maybe we just don't need 4K textures for everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted June 10, 2024 Share Posted June 10, 2024 Jesus. All that for fucking COD 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nag Posted June 10, 2024 Share Posted June 10, 2024 What you get in each tier of Game Pass is a little bit all over the shop too... I was gonna play the campaign for this but that install size is fucking crazy and I'm not sure I'll bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spatular Posted June 10, 2024 Share Posted June 10, 2024 Usually for cod I think/hope you can install the part of the game you want to play so just install single player or just install multiplayer… and hopefully it’ll be a smalller install.

Nag Posted June 10, 2024 Share Posted June 10, 2024 Let's hope that's the case... I have no real interest in multi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted June 10, 2024 Share Posted June 10, 2024 I thought the trailer for Black Ops 6 seemed really good and mental. But only played the 1st one and the last one so hope they put these games on Gamepass closer to release. I’d like to play all the campaigns start to finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted June 11, 2024 Share Posted June 11, 2024 This looks super cute and also potentially excellent. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
