You too can have your very own clown car.
Alright. Switch got the Personas.
SMT5 on other platforms when?
This is why AI-synthesized voices are coming. For games, TV/movies, probably even music.
Biggest scam in the history of gaming.
Was that an ad for a remake of 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand?
I feel like by the time we are firmly entrenched in "next-gen" with no cross-gen games, the Pro consoles will be out and these base models will have been a suboptimal purchase.
Not trying to piss in anyone's Cheerios, but I never saw the appeal of the first game. I have it on GOG or Steam or something. I don't even remember. But like someone below said, I gave it a couple tries over the years. And it just never hooked me.
So I don't understand how it has attained this legendary status where people keep talking about it and this vaporware sequel. I followed gaming press back then more than I do now, and I just don't recall that much...
I remember when Halo came out. I saw how it rose and how important it became. I remember when H2 released, (only game I ever waited in line at midnight, IN THE COLD) it did more business than some popular film or films at the time (can't recall the exact details there). And it was then that gaming was allowed to sit at the adults table in the entertainment world.
It was a transformative time in the industry. It was like another Super Mario Bros. or FFVII.
PC gaming becoming a boutique hobby. Prices going up across the board for all things.
Well, my neighborhood isn't being bombed by Russia. So I guess things are alright.
They will be able to train AI to sound just like celeb VA's. They are already almost there.
A series I always wanted to like. I bought Last Hope on 360. I thought it was alright. But this is a futuristic space series that always seems to end up in villages with swords and elves.
The last one bombed, iirc. I suspect if this one does too, it'll definitely be the end of the series. People were surprised the LAST one was even made.
Edit: And man, that protag with the 80s metal hair wig just looks bad.
Hate to see the consolidation in the industry. But if it's unavoidable now, I'd like to see Sony buy up Capcom, Square, Konami, Sega, and Namco. I would rather see Japanese companies in Japanese hands, not MS's.
Hate the thought of supporting current Konami.
But this was completely unexpected.
Forgot the first Tenchu game.
Thank you, sir. I tried to include a nice coverage of genres there.
@brewin
Soulcalibur was in arcades in 98. I was 24 at the time, and still went to arcades.
1998 was a miracle year for gaming. And this one was right up there with all of the others that year.

Not much hype around this game. Last game bombed. Surprised this is even getting made.
I am sure that this one will be the make-or-break for this franchise.
I would buy a remaster for sure. In my heart of hearts, I know it won't happen.
If I was making the call, it'd be a PS5 collection of all of them remastered/remade in one package. Might as well wish for a lottery win. Fuck Konami.
Persona 5 proved that you can do turn-based and be successful in the 2020's.
Not at all enthused about 16 so far.
