Nintendo Direct tomorrow.
C'mon Team Red, gimme Prime. Or Silksong. Xenoblade? I'd take Zelda.

Well, I guess not, the rumor mill would be buzzing if it were any of those. Then again, wouldn't be the first time they did lame direct with a big "Oh, and one more thing" surprise at the end. Or the even better version "Oh, here a game. It out next week/month/now. Mic drop, bitchez"

Gamers Nexus did a teardown and some in-depth thermal testing:


Yeah, by all accounts it is a very impressive piece of tech considering the aggressive pricing, tho there's no real answer yet whether the software is equally impressive. And battery life is apparently not that great, like 1.5-2 hours if you're playing more demanding AAA stuff. Still, if I didn't already have a Switch for my portable gaming needs, I would've considered getting a Deck.
Fuck the game, publisher and developer for not releasing their game in BE and NL because of their gambling laws.

If your game can't pass gambling laws, it's not a game worth spending time on.
Oh, is that so? Guess that's one reason for why I'd never heard of it before Criticalgaming mentioned it his ferbuary releases thread. The other is that mmorps are a personal blind spot.

I don't blame you.

Y'all remember Atomic Heart? Apparently not cancelled
I do. I know the game wasn't canceled since last year. They had one trailer released around during the late spring I believe, and that was it. Glad to see they're still going and they have an "official" trailer now.

I did not see that coming. I'm surprised Telltale has anybody left at this point. I just hope nobody's going through crunch again just to make this product happen. I also thought they went out of business.
This isn't the same TellTale.

TellTale went out of business in 2018, whilst making The Walking Dead: Final Season.

Some other company bought a lot of TellTale's assets, and revived the studio - name intact. For all intents and purposes, this is effectively a brand-new company, though some of the original company's employees were offered positions.

Hopefully this new TellTale doesn't fall victim to the same issues as the old company.

The game looks very BioShock.

It also looks like a lot of fun!

Definitely a game to play in its original language. That English voice acting is definitely questionable.

Well I do like to give Nintendo credit, they don't usually announce games that aren't coming pretty soon. I think Zelda games are the only exception to that.
