I also gotta appreciate we're seeing returns of demos and not just betas or early-accesses that requires payment first
Huh, I don't think we had a survival game set in ruined city during monster attack, much less set in a Kong universe. Looks interesting
We can only hope they carried it through the whole game. Hands one previews always leave me cautiously optimistic at best because too often the finished product winds up falling short.

I don't see Square Enix getting lambasted about the game download being 170GB. Wonder why that is when people are always so up in arms about Call of Duty wasting all their hard drive space.
Following up on my earlier post, but Bloodborne running at +120fps.
Requires a beefy pc, and cutting down on a lot of lighting other stuff, butb there it is

Really have to wonder why Sony continues to have their head so far up their asses that random blood sweating home brewers are going to have a working PC port before they do. Watch them copyright strike it too. Imagine the revolt!
Either Sony has zero interest in Bloodborne now, or someone's running a shadow marketing bit- "well, we're not really sure there's interest in Bloodborne, but maybe if you buy our newest game that'll be a good indicator!"
I always hate that arbitrary bullshit. Either you're interested in making a new game, port, remaster, or not at all. Even Suda51 was guilty of this when talking about No More Heroes III. Travis Strikes Again needs to sell well, and maybe we can get a III.
Fixed that for you.
Hm. Both Little Nightmares III and Tarsier Studios'(the developer behind Little Nightmares I & II) new title? I hope the reason Little Nightmares III was handed over to another studio was because they really wanted to work on something new and not that the higher ups took the title away from them.
Hang on, I was not aware that a new Arkham game was in the works.
Borderlands 4 Finally Gets Official Teaser, Coming 2025

Well I'd be lying if i said this doesn't excite me more than diablo 4 expansion
Can't wait to see how much of a scam this one turns out to be!
Also no news coverage on this yet, but the Indiana Jones gamesi coming on 12/9 for Xbox and PC, and on Feb 2025 for PS5.
And a new Mafia game, too!

So civ 7 reveal happen, the gap between 6 and 7 is the longest in the franchise history so fan have been a bit antsy about getting some news about it, so people waited with anticipation for it. And... well lets take a quick detour.
In 2021 a game called humankind came out. It was a historical 4x game, taking on the reigning champion that was civilization. It... did not go well, currently sitting at a "mixed" rating on steam, the game seems to have bombed pretty hard. There are many reasons for this, but the main one was that instead of picking a main civilization and playing with it the entire game you would instead hop between different civilizations every era. This destroyed all identity individual civilizations/"player/AI" had and had the very big problem that whoever reached a new age first had the pick of the litter for which civ they wanted for that era, letting them pick whichever was the best civ. 4x suffer a lot with problem of snowballing, doing a little bit better early let you do a lot better later on, and this civ hoping mechanic turbocharged that. It also had a litany of other small problems, but it can best be summed up as an interesting idea that was decidedly proved to not work.
Anyway, Civ 7 decided they were just copying that (and many other features) of humankind. No one understand why. Possibly its that that the dev are so disconnect from the wider 4x community that they either never played humankind to realize those ideas were bad, or never heard that humankind was doing badly.

I watched the 26 min official video. And I do think the purist would definitely stick with more historically-accurate route, meanwhile some would definitely get creative with their choices. But I feel for each age advancement, you can only stay pure to one civlization. Not to mention, this will create balance issues, as it always happens with any multiplayer games that offer build variety.
One other thing I'm dying to know is who will be the composer? Hoping it's Chrtistopher Tin again
