I don't get this liberal joke, is net neutrality not an issue for everyone?

So when is the vote happening?

Clearly they lost the battle with Halloween.

I don't know why, but Uncharted 1's AI has always impressed me, then it gets dumb again in 2. Enemies also become bullet sponges in 2. Perfect example of two games in the same series of a good difficulty setting with good AI, and the exact wrong way to do things. One reason why AI hasn't really improved much is because all the games assets still need updated on the CPU, even though things are rendered out on the GPU. So FEAR landed in the perfect Era of high-computational power but graphically moderate, so they had a lot of overhead for the AI.

Even God has made some bad art...

Dreams honestly looks revolutionary. I think it will employ some well known gameplay formulas, but it's being driven by an absolutely incredible creative content technology. I thought LBP was a game-changer, and this seems like the progression of that. Witchfire looks like a game I'd want on PC, but it does look great. I love that proper-FPSs have been coming back.

for some reason that is blocked for me, but great song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP5wcDfP7k4

Adding more enemy damage makes sense in games where the enemies are already designed to take mountains of damage. Smarter AI is the ideal, but you also probably want to have the best AI in all or most all of the difficulty settings. I think making the player character weaker or the enemy attacks stronger is usually the best option. Maybe with a few AI perks, or occasioned cheating by the AI.

Oh ****, PSX is already underway... Man Sony has been killing it. Both with 1st parties, and with saving their back catalog. I wonder if we will get the full reveal of From's new game.

I'll match ya

And lower case. Also it's a friday night, Josh is lettin' loose! The party must just be getting start on the west coast.

Same, relic is a great dev pick. I think it's still over a year out though, so we probably won't see anything soon.

Whoa, chills.

Not weird at all. Alita looks like she does in the manga. You mean just as she does in a medium that employs a consistent art style, which is also in-line with the design language of that medium in general.

Well it's based on a manga, that James Cameron had been planning to adapt for ages until he turned 110% of his attention to Avatar. At which RR was selected to direct. I've never actually read the manga myself. But this hybrid style that they are going for is really weird. Hybrid in two ways. One, a mix of CGI and real people. Two, the anime aesthetic on Alita is not applied to the other androids. I can't tell if it's a movie aimed at kids, trying to capture a wider crowd, or in someway trying to tap in part to a simmering western fetish that the west, unlike Japan, is too prudish to wear bluntly on the sleeve. The whole fem-android trope clearly has always played to the later. Plus weird fudging of the aesthetic to cater to two crowds isn't helping it's case. I don't think it will be debase, but It seems like the creators have some strange priorities while exploring transhuman ideals. I like Waltz and Connelly a lot, so maybe something will come of this. Not holding my breath. The trailer seems to over sell itself.

Jurassic World 2 director JA Bayona: 'Jeff Goldblum Fallen Kingdom role is a cameo' Hmmm

What, that game looks interesting. Spellforce? I've never even heard of that series. It looks beautiful. Now that is how you do a 3D iso game. Is it a campaign based rts?

I thought "Shadows Die Twice" was more of a tag line. It's probably Bloodborne 2, and it's looks like it's going to be a dream set in some Japanese town, as opposed to Victorian England.

Shirley you mean grazenbran.

Kojima said it's going to be something like open world Uncharted. I imagine it will be somewhat like MGS5 seeing as he was already moving in that direction. I'm sure he'll leave the rampant crouch walking behind, and hopefully avoid knee high cover.

Is it really presupposed on the LHC failing? I must say, I'm getting a strong Prometheus/Arrival feel from this game. Kojima is really flourishing away from Metal Gear it seems.

Holy christ what did I just watch?

Well, this teaser was more of a "Hey we have this thing that exists!" Basically an acknowledgement to the fans that another one of the dark ****ed up games is coming. Imo this is what a teaser should be, an acknowledgement of somethings existence with enough information to tie it to a greater body of work.
