I'm really interested in how this one will pan out. Remedy doesn't really have any experience with first person shooters and the trailers so far didn't really borrowed much from the original IP (other than maybe the invisibility suit).
Some of them are at least pretty funny (if a little scary). Like the "scream the name of the brand in order to skip the commercial".

You should read both lawsuits. The pulling of Fortnite from the stores is not Epic complain. It was only used to make the public perception be positive on them.
They are going after Apple, because they don't allow other stores and payment methods on the iOS. While they are going after Google because they are stopping deals between Epic and manufacturer to have Fortnite or/and the Epic Launcher pre-installed on phones. Their argument is th...
I finished the original not that long ago. And it was a pretty odd game. The story was great, but the RPG gameplay was not really well developed and it was such small part of the overall experience (like 3/4 of it is basically a visual novel). Fortunately the story was more than enough to carry the game.
The studio also confirmed that the PC version will be uncensored. However that only applies for the characters of the original game. Because the new characters were all dev...
Yes, it's a very good decision for the game. If it's not ready and/or is still lacking then the best thing is to delay it.
No, it's a terrible decision for the Series X/S. Because now the launch lineup for the console is fairly weaker than it was before.
@rainslacker
You do realise that it's the same for iOS and Android, right? What Epic did was to intentionally break the rules of both platforms and break the TOS. To incite a response from Google and Apple in order to push their public campaign against them. If they pushed something similar on consoles and the manufactures block the update because of that. That would have the exactly same effect as having the game pulled from the Play Store and iOS.

From what I understood, the report claimed that he did that while he was actively representing Ubisoft at an event. Not on his private time.

I would say that there is a chance, after all the same could be said about the CPU market and look where are right now. Plus the reports on Nvidia hardware are not exactly good.
But we will see.
Pretty much.
Though the ramifications can be really interesting. Especially for consoles as they operate very similar to Apple iOS.

If the more recent news are true is really the opposite. With Nvidia even preparing higher memory versions of the cards to launch close to AMD offering in order to be competitive as the normal variants wouldn't suffice.
Very likely going for the current price of the RTX 2080 Ti and the Titan RTX. Though very few people should actually have a use case for such a monstrosity.
The RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 is where things will get more interesting. As supposedly those are the targets for AMD's Big Navi.
Apparently the reason for the firing is that he used his position at Ubisoft to met with said fan according to Bloomberg. Not exactly because he cheated on his wife.
That said Ubisoft is not going to release the investigation to the public. So we may never know with certainty.
Well, the more competition the better. And Intel did improved their onboard graphics a lot in last couple of year. So maybe we can expect something good. Though it's unlikely that it will be going against the top cards from Nvidia and AMD.
Xbox One and PS4 cancelled.
Xbox Series X and PS5 confirmed.
Even though Guerrilla did come a long way since the announcement - as back then they wouldn't even implement a FOV slider. It's not the best showcase for a optimized product or for their engine.
But most likely expected something on that level, giving that we are dealing with console developers.
They look really odd with those white buttons.
Why wouldn't it though? Like updating the firmware of controller is rarely necessary, unless there something broken or they are adding support for a new device/feature. But it's not something rare or impressive. Most modern controllers are capable of that. Including really cheap chinese mobile ones.
If they deliver it. The issue with this game is that the developers are formed from the Final Fantasy XV team. A game that while is not bad, was a half-backed released that never got completed. As Square-Enix cancelled the story DLCs.
So the issue is if they are going to managed to deliver a compelling experience. And Square-Enix themselves are also having a hard time with new IPs. Their "new" RPG Factory is yet to pump out a good game and it's already on it...
EA is doing everything to save this game.
They dropped the price to $5 in all stores (minus Steam, because reasons), made a free to play weekend and now are adding it to their subscription services. And of that in just two weeks after launch.
At this point I feel they should just make it free to play.
Nobody knows. The speculation going on Crossfire servers is that PC will get a release of Crossfire HD (multiplayer) by Smilegate.But Crossfire X (with Remedy's singleplayer) will be Xbox only.
