Ok, show of hands if you've heard of this game before.


I bet it slaps tho
This is like that Chuck Norris cop game from a few months ago.

Its a well established setup in movie, take an ageing movie star, give him 95% of the budget, have be in the movie for the bare minimum of time and slap together a terrible movie to go along with it and hope people pick the movie because they recognize the actor.

I'm guessing they're trying the same thing with game, but there's not really an equivalent for game of going on netflix and just going trough everything there is to see if there's something you haven't seen and might interest you.

Not too surprising, if you ask me. And you know what? PC version release is automatically +2 years after consoles, so I think we can let this game stay in the back of our minds, just like Elder Scrolls 6


Well, that's one more reason to continue to stay away from this game

It always seemed “best case” when they put 2025 on the trailer. RDR2 was supposed to be a year earlier too. 6 in ‘26 sounds more probable, and it’ll either be April or October, but more likely the latter. PC in ‘27 doesn’t seem unreasonable either.

@Old_Hunter_77, I think you put your words in a quote that Chimpzy never said.
I'll redo the link for you.

Thanks. I just tried to correct and couldn't figure it out....

I was trying to compliment his Will Smith slap joke. Because Will Smith slapped a dude on TV, but his new game is butt.

Marvel wants to do their take on Overwatch. I might've considered trying it out, then I saw Netease and immediately said "no"
I mean, blizz decided to shit the bed and leave the market all ready for a new player, so why not try.

Pssssst gearbox, revive battleborn.

I like the concept of an over-the-shoulder brawler with Marvel characters, but it shouldn't be multiplayer only. A game like this needs a single player. Crazy, because I had a though about an 3d brawler X-Men game with the same camera system.

Follow up. Interesting move, publicly announcing you've learned nothing
I thought GB already was owned by T2? Anyways from one shitty owner to another
Nah, never were until now. Just frequent publishing partner.

I hope CDPR learned their lesson w/ CP2077. If either Witcher 4 or Witcher 1 remake fails (more weight on Witcher 4, IMO), there's no recovery for them
The only lesson they would need to learn is to not try to release current gen game on last gen hardware. I know people love to jump on how awful the launch was, but it really wasn't that bad outside of last gen version that could barely run the game.

Now, I would like them to learn from W3 that open world action RPG game need to have an interesting open world, good action and deep RPG system, but seeing as everyone love W3 its clear that its something they do not need to learn.
