My two cents is Capcom reflected on Chris Redfield's new look, and thought "maybe we aged him up too much?". Yes, it has been a long time since the events of RE1 by this point, and Chris has gone through a lot ever since so it's expected for him to look like a battered soldier, but I honestly did not recognize him until he introduced himself in RE7, and once again seeing him in RE Village. It's obviously not the same young S.T.A.R agent that we met all those years ago

So Capcom decided, "hmm, maybe we can have Leon look like a sexy middle-aged man, and not a tough-as-nail survivor?" even though Leon went through just as much bullshit as Chris.

That's my theory anyways. Honestly, I am fine with this design, but I also think they could've aged him up a bit more with more grey hairs (or receding hairlines) and wrinkles, but I think he still would've had the look that can seduce me any day (no homo).

RE9 takes place in 2026, and he's 49. They still clearly aged him up, and Leon looks good and aged fine. The ladies are still loving him or giving him the sexy grandpa monkier, even though he's not that old.

Great news: Rushing Beat X on Switch 2 and PS5 versions of this game can be bought on Amazon or Target. They're a bit cheaper there, but the Swtich 2 version is $10 more for some reason.

How long can one drag out a single already-stale joke in the medium of videogames, I hear you not ask? Good question, somebody should've asked sooner tbh!

But wait, what if they did already?

And it was answered?

What's a monkey paw for wishes people never wished? Is that just curses? Hexes? Well a curse hex finger may have been curled...welcome to, ugh, I don't have to say these words myself, may the pictures speak for themselves...

You see, if you don't put parody in the title people will not realise it's jokes

Ignore that second screen, was double tasking and couldn't be arsed (te...he?) to put anything beyond the absolute bare minimum of energy sharing this lol

Blurbble!

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE INCOMING! The most ridiculously epic Souls-like parody ever created meets outrageous humor in this absolutely insane action-RPG! You're no chosen one – just a blacksmith with questionable bean-eating habits who accidentally gained ancient dragon powers. Now, you're humanity's last hope, and it's time to show these evil corporations what REAL power smells like!


UNLEASH THE POWER OF MAXIMUM GASITUDE!
- Master the revolutionary "Gas-Souls" combat system – FART-DASH YOUR WAY TO VICTORY!
- Demolish epic bosses with over-the-top attacks and absurd finishers!
- Feast on magical bean burritos for power-ups (now with 100% more dramatic zoom-ins!)
- Strike fabulous poses while delivering devastating attacks!
- BECOME THE LEGEND that everyone talks about (but nobody wants to stand near).


FEATURING:
- Intense battles with tech billionaires and absurd villains!
- A protagonist who won’t stop breaking the fourth wall!
- Weapons-grade dad jokes and ridiculous RPG mechanics!
- Multiple endings based on your playstyle and gas-meter management!


READY TO BECOME THE HERO NOBODY ASKED FOR BUT EVERYONE CAN SMELL?

Disclaimer: This game does not condone or promote negative stereotypes based on race, ethnicity, or nationality. Dark Farts: Parody Smell Edition is created purely for fun and humor—because we listen, we play, and we don’t judge.
And they say comedy is illegal.

Ok you kinda slightly judging my relentless fart condition but I'll take the bullet if i must, as long as I still get to mock the utter shite outta you (no pun, this is farts only, remember? no solids allowed)

The otherr pics kinda have graphics that gives the 15 pound price a very suss vibe. Something is always cut somewhere, whether it's an asset flip, a fake game or a load of AI bullshit (probably the latter if I had to guess) you don't get them graphics for that release day price while avoiding the shameful feell of being ripped off either way.

And as a long-time souls fan, I am really offended by how much of a copy-cat, AI-asset flip this is. Sliver-lining is that everyone is gonna downvote the crap of this game, or the game will most likely become forgotten

Well, this looks a lot better than the first reveal. I'd rather play this over Destiny 2; The aesthetic feels a lot more creative.

Apparently it's gonna be $40, same price as Arc Raiders. As long as they don't go over-board with the possible live-service element, I might give this a shot

After the whole art theft/plagiarism fiasco, I want none of this.

So is this going to take like six years to exist as well?
Well it says 2026 at the end so the Team Cherry playbook would be they stay silent all year, announce an indefinite delay in late November, then quietly work for another 2 years and finally give a quick heads-up 2 weeks before release.

I'm kinda hoping they make their own deadline for once though.

Whatever, just wash your hands.

And when it does come out it ends up being so good that it almost redefines a genre.

$40 Upfront, then a year down the line another $20 for an expansion lest you get left behind, probably.

No thanks.

Insert "you were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!" meme here. This legitimately hurts.

Well, the claims are coming from blue sky, and I usually treat those takes with a grain of salt; Same if they are from tiktok, twitter, or reddit.

However, generative AI thing does raise concerns for me; yeah they are promising it will be used for very surface-level tasks, but how do we know they won't rely on that more throughout the development?

BG3 already was already big, and it was on the verge of becoming "too big" for me. Just how much bigger they are planning Divinity to be?

Don't get me wrong, I am still excited, but I really don't want CP2077 situation again; It's gonna be a terrible for Larian
