I'm not a fan of early access for this sort of single player game. But I know that the devs didn't really have a choice on this matter. The game lacked a budget, there was very little interest by investors and even the original kickstarter failed.

It's definitely a passion project at this point. And I hope they succeed.

That is very unusual. Closing a game without any sort of explanation.

It might be because the game failed to gather a player base. But if that is the case, kudos to the developers for offering refunds.

Some are saying that they got a cease and desist from Warner or from J.K Rowling. But I find that hard to believe because as far as I know there wasn't anything directed related with the Harry Potter franchise. Even the game itself while similar to qu...

My perception of this game changed a lot throughout the years. It was one of the reasons of why I bought a Dreamcast way back in the day. And I love it, beat it a number of times and was one of my favorite games on the platform.

But after playing it again many years later and without hype backing me up. I found way more design issues with it than any of the other three classic Resident Evil.

That said I don&#...

It's a weird game. The gameplay is very similar to the first two, but some choices made it more approachable while the 3D visuals were pretty cool at the time but made collecting items a far more annoying process. It's story is bizarre to say the least, is a bunch of convenient stuff happening in order to get the characters going in an environment that lacks cohesion.

Overall it's a game that could really be fleshed out in the form of a remake.

They are not releasing a service at this time, but a game.
And that game will likely be distributed in the same way that their other title - New World - is going to be. Plus this is being made with PC in mind, where competitive multiplayer reigns supreme over any single player.

If they ever want to tackle a streaming or a console platform. Then sure they will need to expand their catalog and focus on more single-player experiencies. But it doesn't look like the...

That is because Apple is a public traded company. That means that there are shareholders that control the company. On a private held company like Gearbox, the people that control the company is its owners and in this case Pitchford is the owner with the majority of operational control.

So nobody other than himself or maybe the law can take him from there.

The company does not have investors. It's a private held company. With Pitchford legally owning half of it and having 51% operational control.

He is not going anywhere.

Well, he owns the company so unless he got arrested or chose to retire. He will always be the CEO.

This is one of those ports that I never personally used. However I do know that it's a extremely useful port for those with a older sound system. So it's a shame that is not included.

They will either be delayed or offered in a limited manner. Personally I feel that delaying them would be for the best.

They are very unlikely to stop now. Because even if they sell less copies than they would on Steam. Epic's money will act as a safety net.

And at the same time their own service get stronger. As between buying on EGS and buying on Uplay. The latter offer the best features and you need a Uplay account to play anyway. So it's likely that most people just go there directly.

Is such a shame that they release that game on that barebone status. If it was being release right now, the reception would be so much better. As there is a lot of new stuff to do and the overall experience varies between "alright" if you are playing alone and "fking great" if you are playing with friends.

That said. I highly recommend getting this through Game Pass instead of Steam. Because as it is essentially a live service game, owning it will not g...

I'm really interested to see how that will go. Because on PC after a certain threshold you really don't see much benefits on having a faster SSD in most applications including games.

And the PS5 will also support run of the mill SSDs. What make me wonder if some games will only be playable if installed on the internal memory. Or if the overall experience will be dictated by those ordinary SSDs.

That was what I heard as well. And as I'm single with no kids it doesn't really appeal to me as a gaming machine.

But as a novelty I really want to try it.

I really want to play on one of those. But it's very unlikely that I will buy it as I'm completely removed from their target demographic.

That is just too good to be true. Sony would be losing so much money on this per unit that it might compare to the PS3.

That said. As a consumer I would be pretty happy with that price. Even though I'm still gonna wait for the Series X price to make a decision. As the current value of the Game Pass is just too much to ignore.

@RazzerRedux

With the power of those new consoles is safe to assume that they will use higher quality assets and therefore their games will become even bigger than we see right now on consoles. The closest approximation would be the PC version of AAA games.

On PC, RDR2 size is 150 GB. So the PS5 would be able to hold 5.5 of those. It's definitely more than 3 games. But that is assuming that all of those 825 GB will be available for the user and that t...

There just isn't a place for magazines anymore. With the internet there is just no way that they can keep up.

Shame that they only copied the battle sytem from BN.

They look amazing. But it's such a shame that this VN never got a localization.
