So the zombie-state Rocksteady gets to see another day, but Monolith who worked on the Middle Earth games gets axed? WUT?
It makes no sense. I don't want anything bad happening to the people at Rocksteady, but it shows how flippant and uncaring alot of the exec class in the AAA gaming industry? The game's a failure? Shut the developers down! The game made triple the money and is great across all boards? Shut the developers down! I swear, it's MS closing down Tango Games, yet keeping Ninja Theory (for their camera technology) all over again. Even though HF Rush did much better critically and financially. While Hellblade II most gamers don't like or find mediocre. Yet most of the critics go on the over praise. Though there is even some discourse between critics on the game, so it's not clear cut criticism there either.

It's a damn shame, but the studio also hasn't released anything in almost 8 years other than a teaser for a game that is now cancelled. Whose fault that is I don't know, but that is a LONG time for a company to not be generating any revenue.

I am legitimately shocked that Veilguard is on there. That's one of the quickest drops on Playstation Plus Monthly, and probably THE quickest for a non-day 1 drop. For a game that seems...not exactly great, but at least serviceable. In other words...is it that bad to be given up on that quickly?

Ubisoft is stupid.
Not that I was ever going to buy it myself, since I checked out of Assassin's Creed when they introduced Diablo loot in Origins, but on some level I was still holding out hope that Shadows might beat the odds and not be an absolute trash fire.

That's gone.

And do what with it? They have no fucking games! You know what? Doesn't matter; most developers don't even need it.

Of course they are. Why use something when you can just hold onto it and make sure no one else can? Namco showed us the way with loading-screen minigames!

Deprecated PhysX on the Nvidia 50 series won't factor into my next GPU purchase at all. Can't imagine ever playing Mirror's Edge (Should have been in third person view.) and Arkham City and Knight again. Witcher 3 is dull. Didn't think Velvet Assassin was that young. That list has a lot of slop. Guess it speaks more about that period in games.

...A Promising-looking Terminator game? Do my eyes deceive me?

Hope AVGN plays this, because man he deserves a good Terminator game after all the crappy ones he experienced.

Looks like that could have been in arcades in 1993. Not a style I'm interested in personally but respect to the commitment.

A Contra style Terminator game....

What took them so long?! I'm in!

Terminator Resistance is pretty good. He should keep himself occupied with that one until September.
