shinymcshine Posted November 29, 2024 Share Posted November 29, 2024 Funny that some sources would have had you think that loot boxes were just in big name console games such as FIFA (EA Football) etc - but actually they are still prevalent in a majority of top selling mobile games, despite an element of industry self-regulation.

Maryokutai Posted December 4, 2024 Share Posted December 4, 2024 Probably should have made a topic for this at some point, but Victory Heat Rally comes out digitally next week (12.12.) on Switch and there's going to be a LRG published physical release as well: It's not part of the official LRG numbered collection, so with a bit of luck we're going to see a 'normal' release at some point, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted December 6, 2024 Share Posted December 6, 2024 XDefiant getting shut down in June 2025, already delisted, and UbiSoft closing down San Francisco and Osaka studios, resulting in 177 people losing their jobs: https://x.com/stephentotilo/status/1864093792682262762 Seems more and more likely that AC Shadows will be their Final Fantasy moment, but I don't quite see it resulting in the same outcome unfortunately. XDefiant seemed to be a decent enough game, but releasing yet another live service shooter (especially if you already have a good one in RB6) is such a dumb idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 I would've thought this was joke if the trailer came out April 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted December 11, 2024 Share Posted December 11, 2024 That's been out there for a bit, I think there's a demo on PC, too. I think it actually looks pretty cool and the idea behind it is rather neat. Indie fighting games are a bit of a risky proposition most of the time, but they have my attention.

Maryokutai Posted December 16, 2024 Share Posted December 16, 2024 Capcom might have more dormant IPs than 'just' Okami and Onimusha in line for a resurrection: https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/news/html/e241213.html Quote In addition to regularly releasing major new titles each year, Capcom is focusing on re-activating dormant IPs that haven’t had a new title launch recently. The company is working to further enhance corporate value by leveraging its rich library of content, which includes reviving past IPs like the two titles announced above, in order to continuously produce highly efficient, high-quality titles. I'd almost bet on a new take on Mega-Man coming at some point. Would absolutely make sense with how popular though-as-nails 2D games have become in the indie scene, plus there's no way the Secret Level short was just something they threw out for the heck of it. I do hope Breath of Fire is among those IPs though. I'd even be okay with a collection of the old games, III and IV are pretty much unavailable everywhere.

shinymcshine Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 D&D Dark Alliance (2021) is being pulled from sale at the end of Feb 25 (with the closedown of online play too). https://www.polygon.com/news/498079/dungeons-dragons-dark-alliance-shutting-down-date FWIW you can buy a physical copy (PS4) for around £15, Xbox One ~£10, so that's a route if you want to play it sometime in the future (of course if you buy a digital copy too before cut off you can play that).

Maryokutai Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 I wonder if they ever patched it into a somewhat finished state. I remember when I played it on release (should be a topic somewhere) I felt like it had the potential to be a decent, if maybe a bit superficial, action RPG, but damn was it a buggy and glitchy mess when it came out. If there's still discs available next month I might pick it up, was playing it on Xbox One back then, too, so maybe the Series X upgrade made it a bit better if nothing else.

shinymcshine Posted December 18, 2024 Share Posted December 18, 2024 Looks like they dropped a few patches, inc. a free DLC area https://darkalliance.wiki.fextralife.com/patch+notes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted December 24, 2024 Share Posted December 24, 2024 In reality I never really expected 4 anyway... I was low down fingers crossed for Remake of the second game but that hope was dashed months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinymcshine Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I didn't even know that the US music magazine Rolling Stone had a gaming section, but they do, and here's their Top 50 Greatest Video Games of All Time...
