So Avowed is... a thing. I mean it doesn't look bad, but it just doesn't feel like an Obsidian game. It looks more like an action game rather than a narrative-driven experience. I see NPCs and dialog choices and everything, but it doesn't feel on the near level as their past works
Senua's Saga looks decent, but from the description it looks like it will more or less be the same as the first game, just in a larger scale.
Visions of Mana sounds promising
ARA? Really? I mean the game looks fun, but why name a game like that?
So... Indiana Jones game. The face model looks accurate enough to Harrison Ford. Sounds a lot like him too. (EDIT: It's Troy Baker) But why the first-person view? Is it because Machine Games' experience with the Wolfenstein games? Wouldn't it make more sense to have it as a third-person view? Granted it has some third-person moments, but it looks like you are stuck with first-person view for most of the time. Otherwise, it actually looks really fun.

All I got from that showcase was Hellblade finally got a release date. And then maybe a couple other games might happen this year maybe.
It used to be that this would be because a studio wanted to try something new and different. These days, it usually means that some corporate suit read some three-years-out-of-date report of "what's big with the kids" and told the studio "do that".

Really not wanting this crap to catch on with other platforms, but MS seem determined to keep pushing with the "better to ask forgiveness than permission" philosophy till one eventually receives less pushback, so then they can double down from that incision point.
If I do get a Series X, it's only to play 360 and OG XBOX games. I have a ONE X, so it's not even needed at all."oopsie, did we drop another intrusive ad into our full price products again? How clumsy of us silly ol' smol beans... we super duper pinky promise to never do it again!"

I wonder if they'll fix that comically unfair mecha duel with Axle on the SNES version of Sparkster. I could never tell if that was a bug in the difficulty setting, a somehow unnoticed difficulty spike, or an attempt to discourage renting.
While still unofficially confirmed, there's the theory or rumor that both versions of sparkster were rushed out to development. The Sega Genesis version even more so. The Super Nintendo version feels more finished by comparison, but similar to the Sega Genesis version, there are weird or odd difficulty spikes that Rico something that wasn't play tested.

Gotta love that saying. Maybe those perpetrators should kindly just fuck off with any forgiveness plea since they should’ve known better than to try screwing with people in the first place."oopsie, did we drop another intrusive ad into our full price products again?

CEO of Palworld dev says he's seen death threats, asks people not to slander the artists working on the game

Because making death threats has worked SO WELL in any industry! /s
On one hand, I remember when "the gamers" were making death threats over a change in the refire rate of a pretend sniper rifle. On the other hand, I remember the whole Unity thing, where the "death threats" were coming from inside theCEO of Palworld dev says he's seen death threats, asks people not to slander the artists working on the game

Games industry leaders braced 'for up to two years of pain'
Games industry bosses thing 2024 will be 'the year of closures'

Anyway, also bad for players. Possibly less games overall and what games do release be generally safer and more predatory.
And another reason why I am mostly sticking with indie and smaller budget games. I do feel bad for those losing their jobs, because leaders are tired of investing with games. So why did you dipshits ever invest in the first place and dip because you're not making all the money in the universe?Of course, those same industry leaders will not face any real consequences for the shitshow they created.Games industry leaders braced 'for up to two years of pain'

The bad news is that this is not limited to AAA. A lot of AA devs are struggling just the same, and the number of indies getting funded has apparently dropped significantly.
Crap. You wish for the best for the smaller guys and gals. I'll support whoever I can. This sure as hell ain't over.
