I can hardly wait for The Last of Us 2.  Though I have no clue who those characters are in the trailer.

Me neither. But I liked it, it gave me some sort of MGS vibe.

 

 

On other news, Monster Hunter World sure looks neat:

Spelunky 2 announced

 

 

For PS4 (and presumably every other platform, like the first game).

 

It took me hundreds upon hundreds of hours to finish the first one. I don't need this in my life...

 

*Also: How long before the industry catches on that they can sell Steam achievements?

 

That's pretty much what the trading card system is though, isn't it- a parallel system to the achievement one with a randomised generation event attached similar to loot boxes? Sell them, buy them, craft badges, inflate your epeen steam level etc and every time they're traded steam and the game's publisher get a cut.

 

Why the hell would anyone want steam achievements though. The cards, you can trade them for in game stuff ?

 

 You buy stuff to be able to trade it for other stuff you want ?

 

Open world real-history game of the defense of Tsushima Island against the Mongol invasion.

 

RDR2 has competition me-thinks.

There was a storm, the mongol fleet was destroyed. A storm called 'Kamikaze', yes, that's where it comes from.

Well that was the second invasion. This is set during the more successful first invasion. Of which there was also a Typhoon crippled which crippled much of the fleet as they were retreating from the invasion.

The Khan looks exactly like the dude from the Marco Polo tv show. :>

(I guess it's the Khan, because... he looks exactly like the dude from the tv show)

Why is that dude pulling a sword  out of his armpit.

He's wiping the blood on his sleeve.

At least the protagonist isn't Tom Cruise.

That already came out this year, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nioh

Is PS4 the next PS2?!

 

 

I'm a Sony fanboy.

Vanity.

Sony seems more in publishing games on own console, you cant go wrong with that.

XBOXXX has more power (and more eXes) but not that much exclusives as PC (and we are closing with the price)

Switch just made own niche. (handheld, which could be also TV).

If it pans out, Microsoft could reclaim an interesting foothold in the PC market. I'm waiting with bated breath to see what becomes of AoE4.

 

At this point though, I think Sony has by far the best 1st party studio infrastructure. Nintendo has even shifted to contracting out to external studios to produce a lot of it's flagship titles.

Nintendo is doing great with the Switch. Less than a year out and GOTY contenders are basically Nintendo Vs Nintendo. Breath of the Wild & Super Mario Odyssey.

One PC to rule them all, One PC to find them

One PC to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

Wonder if the loot boxes are historically accurate

One can argue that air drops was a bit random.

Also in CoD i suppose they are ingame only?

To have gambling you need hat trick: randomness + real money + importance.

But it also feels weird,  video games generally turn WW2 into entertaiment, and often in cartoon way, but mix of historical accuracy and slot maschine is something new.

AssCreed features not one but two layers of DRM anti-tamper, after crackers make a laughing stock out of Denuvo with Warhammer TW2 and Shadow of War

 

Of course, Ubi assures buyers that there's no performance hit whatsoever due to this... but they're still looking into it.

Honestly I don't have a problem with this, DRM mostly exist to ensure keep the honest people honest on launch day. As long as they remove it with a patch once it's been cracked or once they have made most of their target sales then I don't see the problem.

I have a problem with it but I've also had several bad experiences with my legally purchased games randomly quitting on me because it thought it detected some tampering. Andromeda was the latest of these.

And naturally every performance problem you have on your GT1030 running Assassin's Creed is the fault of Denuvo. No further evidence needed!!
