Also I'm not a superfan of 1st Person Shooters, but that Betrayal Trailer looks interesting.

 

That trailer does look interesting but I hope the game isn't in that grey colour?

It is, that's what they're saying.

You know when Monolith old-timer Craig Hubbard has left the firm, things at Monolith must have turned really ****ty.

That's what clued you in? Not the free-to-play Batman and Lord of the Rings games they've been doing?

 

 

Sorry, I was dazzled all the time with #Hopechange and stuff.

[Morgoth]

I have to admit, Sega buying Atlus worries me a whole lot - particularly since Sega can't seem to get their act together, I can only fear how they'd run/ruin Atlus and Atlus' games.

 

Also I'd have to figure some of the niche games Altus USA publishes wouldn't get picked up under Sega.

 

but maybe I'm being too gloomy & doomy

 

Also I'm not a superfan of 1st Person Shooters, but that Betrayal Trailer looks interesting.

 

SEGA is doing better lately. They reported a profit recently.

 

Also Betrayel doesn't look like a shooter to me, but more like a slow, creepy first-person action adventure. Just like the devs are advertising it. Difference.

Okay thanks and for clarity sakes why would they make the game in grey?

Only Atlus game that should come to PC is Catherine.

If they're gonna release mod tools for that I'm gonna replace every tin soldier face with Wolfgang Schäuble's one. It would be an instant classic.

It apparently looks interesting, fits the story and setting and ramps up the suspense.

I really wasn't talking business so much as - IMO - they've been making a lot of terrible games, and have been for some years now.

So it seems!

 

Oh and SEGA buying Atlus would be a bummer. I expect half of their stuff not to get localized.

That's a rather sizable collection of songs, I imagine most of them are snippets rather than the full song.  Gen X, Klassic, KRhyme, and K12 I recognize as stations that have been in every SR game.  Hopefully Mixtape (user station) is coming back.  I don't see why it wouldn't, but stranger things have happened.

Disappointed the stereotypical Gino anthem is in there (Haddaway)

On the plus side, they got The Safety Dance.  I'll mostly be rocking my own tunes (assuming Mixtape returns) or listening to Klassic anyway. I wish they had more than just one Fryderyk Chopin track, but I guess one is better than none.

[Oerwinde]

Aww, no. 106.66 The Blood? I pretty much had it on that or Klassic.

Company of Heroes 2 recalled from stores in Russia.

Normally I'd say that's a stupid overreaction but if Relic is sticking to the 'historically accurate' line...

Basically the Russians want the Red Army depicted as gleaming paladins of virtue, none of whom murdered prisoners, their own dissidents or raped their way across Germany.

[Malcador]

Or at least the same as the Western allies in games.

I watched the video from TheBadComedian and although it's blatantly obvious he is indeed a very bad comedian, he has a lot of valid points. I haven't played it myself, but it seems CoH2 is roughly equal to a game about WW2 from a British perspective which only features planning an invasion of Narvik, bombing civilians in Germany to smithereens and sending underequipped colonial troops to their death.

 

He showed some points of the game which were definitely ahistorical, and more which were decidedly mendacious. Especially the misplaced Vasilevsky quote made me cringe.

 

One point he tried to make against the game which I don't agree on was the summary execution of Polish partisans with an implied conservative political allegiance. I am absolutely certain that the Soviet Union would do anything in their power to eliminate counter-revolutionary guerillas in own as well as occupied lands. Furthermore, Soviet penal battalions were probably very awful, unlike what he says in the video.

I find due to your excellent understanding of history it is difficult to dispute what you say

[mkreku]

Yeah, I am sure all western troops were angels during the war.. No rapings, no torture, no firing on their own troops, no sacrifice of foot soldiers. Right.

 

The point is not if it is historically correct or not. The point is that games like these are usually heroic and completely devoid of realism.. until they start depicting anything else than USA/England. Then suddenly they need to show every dark side of war in all its glory. Slightly nauseating.

Focus on a brave group of Indian soldiers. Have Narvik, but don't have the Warspite. Next France, as Britain bravely abandons the french to fight jerry alone "when danger reared its ugly head the british turned their heel and fled" followed by going to Egypt. On the way, work in Mers-El-Kebir and the Brits sinking the french fleet. End, part I

 

Arrive in Egypt after O'Connor's dash, but in time to stand still several months in terrible conditions before being sent off to Greece in a pointless political gesture ending in disaster. Then Crete, where you can have no air support and lots of ships being sunk plus lots more command snarl ups. Return to North Africa in time for some toffee nosed incompetent to allow a german party apparatchnik picked because Hitler liked him to stroll merrily back to the gates of Egypt. Have several utterly pointless offensives in which you get trounced. Quick break in old blighty to work in Churchill allowing Coventry to be bombed, maybe some emotional "child's toy in rubble" pics with stirring classical strings in the background. Get back to Egypt in early 1942, just in time for Rommel to trounce you again. End, part II

 

Then a break, to Cassino, and an assault on a big hill with lots of germans on it, all the while getting information on the Bengal Famine (oops, sorry, that was the British mediated famine that killed more than Holodomor, I meant the british mediated 1943 one which only may have killed more). Make sure to show that it's the french who actually win the battle, plus that American putz strolling through Rome  sorry, that's for the US campaign 10$ dlc.Then get sent to Palestine and blown up in the King David. End with Ben-Gurion being welcomed to London and pictures of all the violence in post independence India.
