Looks like EA will be going to court in Belgium, because they are not willing to remove lootboxes from FIFA. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-09-10-ea-may-go-to-court-over-loot-boxes-in-belgium

New Tales of Vesperia trailer

The funny thing is, that the people who had the chance to see early demo already, has expressed, that what they’ve seen was boring, we’ll see how much will the hype train overcome this fun fact :-D Me personally, will not be buying this game, unless Take2 changes their stance to Lootboxes. https://youtu.be/DzW7d0jQ4ww

Tales of Vesperia has final release date confirmed!!! January 11 2019 http://www.siliconera.com/2018/09/10/tales-of-vesperia-definitive-edition-set-for-january-11-2019/ There will be also some kind of special edition, but so far, I have seen only link to Bamco US page for announcement of announcement of announcement of this edition. Hopefully EU will get this edition as well.

NES Mini sold 3.6 million copies in under 6 months. A single machine which can play more than 1 type of cartridges is less niche product than 4x space strategy games. There are lots of collectors. EMU scene has its boom on Twitch. And there are still games made for some old school game systems.

Nintendo NES Mini, and Nintendo SNES Mini, would like to have a word with you...

Possibly the lowest bar in history. Hard not to be the best, in the category with only single member

... as never before with Yes and No options in our Dialogue Wheel :D

After all the two month long Dark Souls adrenaline marathon, I have decided to chill at some older game in my backlog, and Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory is the perfect game, where I can just sit down in my chair and have easy time to play and enjoy without to much hassle. Dark Souls II will be on schedule probably after Xmas

Now I have checked the stats of my Dark Souls playthrough One thing which I find funny :D Time to Platinum 6 years, 10 months, 3 weeks This record will be very hard to beat :D

After dinner break, and 2,5 hours long NG++ speed run for last trophy (I have forgot to pick up Large Ember in the Depths, so I had to backtrack back from Anor Londo, and died few times), I have finished my Platinum Trophy run of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition on PS3. The game was little bit easier than Demon's Souls, with the exception of Smough and Ornstein, and Kalameet's tail cutting. Still I am happy to have completely beaten another Soulborne game right after turning 40 years old My collection of Platinums went up to 18 If anyone cares, complete list is in my signature

DQ 10 was MMO afaik. DQ IX was Nintendo DS or 3DS exclusive title. Correct me if I am wrong.

Just few moments ago, I have finished my NG+ run of Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition on PS3. I have now every item, consumable and equip, besides two soul boss upgrade items, which I am still missing for Platinum Trophy and 100%-ing the game. I've defeated Gwyn second time, after 32 hours and 139 deaths :D . Much less farming, this time, so it went much faster than my blind run and "everything possible" NG run. One last super speed run for Sif, two bells, Iron Golem and Anor Londo blacksmith, to get Platinum in this game as well

Yakuza Kiwami 2 \o/ for PS4

Looks like Final Hearts-nite will be comming soon to your favourite retailer... http://www.siliconera.com/2018/08/30/square-enix-announce-partnership-with-tencent-to-co-develop-aaa-titles-for-new-ips/ In other words, Square Enix teams up with Tencent. Why I have feeling that nothing good can come out of it?

Some people just do not understand, that even if you give newest Unreal engine to bunch of monkeys, that it does not mean, that they will be able to produce better games than the Docs in the 90's.

I suppose I will stop when people finally get out of their delusional ways that "era xx is better than the present/future." Without these types of people moving due to their paranoia, we can all achieve a better tomorrow. My nostalgic being screams inside furiously, my logical being couldn't agree more with what I'm writing. Alot, unfortunately. Mainly from older people than myself who can't get past their preferred generation/era. It's embarrassing as it is harmless.Why should we even consider to get over that era, when your statement, that everything new and "fresh" is always better, than something made in the past is just simply plain wrong Stop pretending you know it all, and try to accept, that some people might indeed have different oppinions based on their own experience, which might be due to circumstances at that time, completely different from yours. Thank you very much. Now back to doing something more useful again.

The day sonicmage stops complaining aboit nostalgia, will be the day the earth stands still.

Tower of Time has arrived on GOG!!! https://www.gog.com/news/release_tower_of_time

SoR 3 was the most awesome beat em up ever!!!

Also The Last Remnant by Square Enix will be removed from Steam very soon. It's pretty original JRPG. So if you ever thought, that you would like to buy that game, now is your last chance on PC. More info: http://www.siliconera.com/2018/08/24/the-last-remnant-will-be-removed-from-storefronts-in-september-2018/

Wow. An indie developer sues CBS and Netflix for copying his content to Star Trek Discovery I do not know, how much it can hold, but some similarities are really striking...

As far as I am aware, Gutenberg Projects books which are in Public Domain. First games start to fall in Public Domain in 50 - 75 years (maybe even more) depending on country legislation. So It is impossible to offer games for free legally, unless you have contract with copyright owner. In that time, most of the digital stuff would be lost without preservation project, and GOG like store fronts
