It has been confirmed that Silksong willbe coming to PS4&PS5. Just no one knows when

It's been on PC since October 2020. November is the console port. I tried to get into it, but never managed to get into it. Looks interesting. Maybe I will attempt again, once I have more brain power available, and am not tempted by more accessible titles.

Yeah like oddly, because Civ6 launch with most core features it failed to develop each one of them that carefully. Both expansions for Civ5 added really well throughout systems - I can’t say the same for civ6 - their implementation of golden eras and natural disasters are interesting concept, but I don’t think they work well. On the other hand, I wish they would polish a bit more features the game shipped with.

Yup. Didn't get properly into Civ until Civ5 precisely becayse of the doom stacks. I would start Civ4 games and play until someone attacked me. Personally, I like a lot of Civ6 - I liked unstacking cities just as much as unstacking units! - but I don't think it comes together as nicely as Civ5 did with all it's expansions. Don't like religion in Civ6, and I just wish they would copy united nations systems from Brave New World - I thought it was done much better in Civ5.

He provides fair criticism later on. I do like the artstyle. I think it looks unique and interesting.

Cool! Loved SoaSE1 back in a day. I will keep my eye on this one. Also this just dropped. I rather liked Freedom Planet.

Noice. Just wish they were available outside Nintendo, with proper framerate.

and I don't know why Kiryu is back, nor why he got this stupid haircut. I thought, Like a Dragon, did well moving away from Yakuzas. Now they drop the Yakuza brand, but bring Kiryu back... huh? Edit. Oh! And Judgement and its sequel just released on steam.

Eh, a benefit of making a niche product for a narrow audience, rather then AAA product that is meant to appeal to as wide demographic as possible without fully satisfying none.

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/uncharted-legacy-of-thieves-collection-will-arrive-on-pc-in-october-leak-suggests According to Epic Game Store leak/unintentional update, Uncharted 4+it's DLC should arrive on PC on October 19th.

Has a cicle gone for long enough to try to appeal to nostalgia?

I need to get to do it at some point. I can't get into the game. I don't like writing nor the overall vibe of the world, I don't enjoy the combat. I don't dislike the game, but I just don't enjoy my time spent with it. Some excellent middle levels in that game. I am doing yet another Dishonored1 run at the moment. I have been playing Dishonored in a non-lethal low chaos playstyle so far, so I have been planning to do a high chaos run for once. I expected it to play better without restrictions, but I am somehow amazed how better it plays. There are far many more cool systemic interactions that just don't happen in a non-lethal run. So many toys and skills to play with. There if a feel of far more consequence to my actions, where for example chopped up bodies with spawn hordes or rats, while non-lethal runs ended up much more empty. I am also for the first time resisting X-ray vision, which makes the game so much more enjoyable - I am discovering envoromental details that I never noticed in my previous 4 (?) playthroughs and I just find the game much more engaging. Oddly enough I don't feel like I am missing much - my loot gathered percentage seems about the same as they were before. Game is good in pointing players into a right directions anyway.

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/we-almost-got-a-hitman-movie-directed-by-james-gunn James Gunn of the Guardians of the Galaxy fame, once upon a time pitched a Hitman movie, but was rejected . Just kinda staggeting to think about it, considering there are two god-awful attemts at bringing Hitman to the big screen. Looking at dates, they must have gone with 2nd Hitman film instead, which for full transparency sake I haven't seen, but rotten tomatoes stands on respectable 8%, directed by some Polish fellow with only one film credit to his name

Hmmm... I really liked shooting mechanics. I mean "really liked" is too generous, it's no Doom: Eternal, but I liked it more then any GTAs/Saints Rows or later Mafia games. That's probably my one dislike of the remake - a stock, standard cover shooter mechanics. In the original shooting from Tommy gun felt wild.

Keanu is back! Didn’t expect that.

Blasphemy! If I remember correctly big chunk of Mafia1 soundtrack is missing due to licensing issues. There is a mod for that, though, I believe. In case you didn't play it, the remake Mafia: The Definitive Edition, is actually really good and worth playing instead of the original. The story, while rewritten and recast is pretty much intact and the changes IMO are for the better. Gameplay is a bit on generic side, but it's smoother then the original. The only thing I would be wary of is the driving mission (you will know it while you get there). It's been famous in the original for being unreasonably tough, though in my opinion undeservibly so - once one gets a handle on the driving system, it's actually pretty straightforward to win. However, in the remake if played on hardest difficulty, it is what people claimed the original to me. It took me good couple hours to beat it, and had to look up guides for assistance. Just knock down the difficutly for that section once you get to it and fail once or twice.

Looks good! I hope the campaign will be more robust then that of Desert of K.

I must say, it was a weird feeling to be bored by a Bioware game. As poor of a showing as Mass Effect3 was, I don't remember being bored by it. Annoyed, yes, but bored no. Inquisition was worse then Ubisoft game. Speaking of which: I have been craving for some eye candy, so I installed Watchdogs2. As with all Ubi games I don't expect to finish it, but so far I have been.... enjoying it? Stealth based gameplay have been more engaging then usual Ubi stuff, and a choice of scouting and different gadgets have been fun so far. However, I am only about 4 hours in and repetition starts settling in. We will see how it will go. I installed it through Epic games store as I got Watchdogs2 for free a long time ago - oh boy, was that an adventure. As far as I can tell, Epic downloaded an installer, then launched U-play to install the installer, then the U-play didn't recognise the game so I had to manually add it through U-play, then U-play patched the installed game, and now it plays fine, but only if I launch it through U-play - if I launch through Epic, then the game never starts loading (no opening logos just black screen) and if it does it crashes pretty regularly. U-play though - no issues. Good job Epic. At least I don't need to use you to play games you gave me.

And I gave up on Inquisition. I didn't find Hinderlands that bad, but I didn't find the game got any better afterwards. The story missions have been mediocare but servicable - open worldish stuff, though have been bad. What is abysmal is inventory managemenet - running out of space all the time, tedious and boring items and constant upgrading of my party members equipment through a tedious UI. Combat is not good, but it never has been in DA games. With bunch of large areas I don't want to explore, story I don't care to finish I just decided not to waste any more of my time. If Dragon Age4 wants me, it will need to convince me on its own. I am somewhat curious about Andromeda - pretty much all criticism of it that I heard I would apply to Inquisition. How worse can it get? Maybe one day I will find the answer to this question, but for now I had enough of subpar Bioware releases.

I don't believe there is full demo footage to be seen by public for now. Some preview do show game's footage in the background like the one below. It being mostly a narrative title, there isn't much to dissect though, outside some curious stylistic choices.

Nothing was said about Avowed getting canned - but that's it has gone through potential reboot and won't be released anytime soon, as many of us hoped.
