Did someone make this in Dreams?

Nice.

Never did get through all of AK and Darksiders 3 I've never played. Winner.

@RBMango Horror achieved!

@johncalmc "... pipe of Pringles..."

I mean... tube, can even, but pipe? Never heard that.

Also, good review.

@NathanUC It's not really much of a grind if you break it up.

@NathanUC You could smash the main game in under a week.

@ralphdibny I don't think anyone is willing to put in the hardware to reliably cope with running 6th gen stuff.

I think Disney probably had a hand in publishing the majority of the catalogue - but as with SNES Aladdin, not all of it.

Nice. Actually tempted.

@Ralizah I recon that's something to do with publishing rights being with Capcom.

@Knuckles-Fajita Well the City That Never Sleeps DLC is £15.99 all in, so only a quid out

@ralphdibny Everything up to PS1?

@playstation1995
Shhh... You'll give Disney ideas about releasing their own micro-console-game-streaming-as-service-machine that you have to rent but also initially buy through Disney+ with a Disney+ subscription.

I'm totally in to this

@Psychoticjp "biological sex creates gendered behavior." - Or, gender stereotypes.
As I said, 'gender' as a social construct. Sex is immutable.

Take the term 'transexual'; it has massively fallen from favour as it doesn't really sit very well in current gender ideology because those invested would have 'gender' become the ultimate descriptor.

This isn't just gender studies nonsense, it's happening out there in the world - language is being manipulated to fit a new paradigm as it so often is. We should simply dispense with notions of 'gender'. People should certainly be free to present themselves however they wish, but sex doesn't change - and gender as an identity is bogus, narcissistic and ultimately damaging to women's rights.

@Psychoticjp
Gender as social construct is based on various stereotypical and ingrained patriarchal qualities, behaviours, dress and social standing of male and female humans - 'men wear trousers, women wear skirts' - that sort of thing. Feminism spent decades breaking gender stereotypes for betterment and societal and political freedom for women.

Through wide acceptance of the current state of 'transgenderism', 'gender' has moved beyond a term for denoting binary biological sex and leaned more in to the expression of 'identity'. So you have 'non-binary', 'gender-fluid', 'agender' and other such narcissistic nonsense that largely only really serves to reinforce gender stereotypes.

@Psychoticjp They don't have 'one of the highest suicide rates'.

Sex is not assigned. It is observed biology.

Gender is (or should be) largely meaningless. There as many genders now as people want there to be - either based on classic stereotypes or varying degrees of mental illness/narcissism/special unicorn.

Still have an MD copy. Great game so may as well get the 'remaster' treatment.

Though I'd hope that they base Aladdin on the Megadrive version.

If anyone's still reading all of this (ha) - my comments are based on the delivery of the information.

I see it as virtue signalling and nothing more; CDPR making out that their seemingly pretty limited/mostly standard character creation options are about diversity and inclusion. When really they are just there.

Even in the interview they conflate sex and gender, which makes me feel that they really are just ticking boxes.

It makes nigh on no difference in a game which appears to be mostly about transhumanism rather than transgenderism. In which case, it would be nice to perhaps just go with biological sex and then have at it with gender decorations. Perhaps even include all 73 genders?!

@nessisonett Couple of things:
Sex is not 'assigned' at birth, it is observed. Gender as a social construct based around sexual characteristics and patriarchy - and many trans people unfortunately have spent the last few years reinforcing gender stereotypes rather than dismantling them.
Trans 'suicide' figures are largely inflated, it's a regularly trotted out statement that trans people suffer more violence/suicide/'oppression'. Figures are fudged.
Wherever you plant your tent-pole, I wouldn't suggest to the trans 'community' at large that they cannot be gender fluid
GD is mental illness despite efforts to reclassify it and often these days coincides with a rapid onset based on social contagion. There is also far more for big pharma to gain by leading with affirmation treatments rather than anything else.
Affirmation isn't the only course.

The only remotely not-standard thing here is not tying the 1 of two whole voices to a body type.

Virtue signalling while not actually doing anything. It's good work if you can get it.

At least we'll be able to Lily Savage about the place with Keanu

'... you choose a body type.'

Would that be body types based around phsyical build and secondary sexual characteristics by any chance...

Sex and 'gender' - not the same thing.

Just a load of conflation and (albeit well-intentioned) woke-speak going on there.

Simple tip. Don't use Holland and make it a TV show.

Never been much for in-depth character creating apart from one of the N64 WWF games.

The designed by committee during school lunch times 'Bad Boy Pimp Ass' and 'Kevin Damage' were both pretty awesome though.

@Th3solution Totally.

I suggested near the E3 reveal that the comic style Spidey suit in the PS4 game worked so well, that a whole game like it with the Avengers could be great. Imagine the costume change possibilities!

@thefirst Vita> Nephew

@thefirst Burning Skies on Vita is OK. The story set up is good though the game lacks a bit of atmosphere. Main issues are the ridiculously easy difficulty and the graphics - though in fairness as far as I recall, Nihilistic didn't even have a dev kit or target specs for the Vita for a lot of the development time.

It's worth a play, and a pretty easy plat of that's your sort of thing.

Absolutely yes!

@FlyingFoxy Haaaaa!

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy he was bored right in to my teenage-angst ridden mind right along with Portishead. I just can't help it!

@get2sammyb
Didn't Sony acquire Spidey as part of distribution deal with MGM anyway. They didn't really pay a penny to get him.

Regarding the game, I don't think Disney has any say actually.

Spaaaaaawwwwwn!!!

i hope he has a Fatality of saying he doesn't want to be involved and slinking off down a dark alley

Seriously though - dig Spawn!

Avengers: The True Blood years

There's Sam, Arlene, Eric, Alcide and Terry!

I can't unsee it now!!

oooh... Deathwing and Space Hulk Tactics for tenner a piece!

@Nakatomi_Uk Because DLC probably

I jest, for once I don't think that's an overt intention for the game and that the designers just wanted to add something new and go their own way. As I said earlier, retreading old ground wears thin pretty fast.

@Nakatomi_Uk

I quite like the format. It's a good call I reckon, but it needs at the very least to look a lot better.

Tapping in to the original film for the setting and giving the soldiers their own missions to do dulls the Evolve-ness.

Evolve was pretty good fun though, what I played of it.

@East76landS
Me too. But it's a good move not to be yet another 'retro' pixel art sidescrolling brawler. Whatever the pedigree - if it looked the same, it'd get lost in the crowd I think.

SoR can afford to stand out from the pretenders and move itself forward. The team involved in this is pretty dynamite. It should be good.

Could be an interesting mechanic. It'll be nice to see how it works in practice. I'm assuming more of a 'Fatal KO' (Hokuto No Ken, PS2) sort of feel.

This does look really good... said as I gaze ruefully in to the backlog ether at X-Com..

They really should've saved Little Richard for a more impressive trailer.

What an odd decision to release such a ropey looking clip!

@ShogunRok Is it bad?

I'm watching The Tick and keeping an eye on the football score 😂

Crikey!

If PS5 launches with SSD streamed, Ray-traced Resistance 5; I might just die! 😂

Unclean!

Seriously though, the collective 'age' of the games listed there is pretty interesting.
Minecraft is essentially 10 years old, GTA V is 6 this year, MK8 is 5, CTR - a remake of a 20 year old OK kart racer...

And today I finally Googled "do ducks have knees..." (they do).

Yet EA can't get a few dozen Tie Fighters to spawn properly...

@Tasuki I'm glad he did!

I think what we have here @ShogunRok is the final and possibly greatest Easter Egg of Marvel's Spider-Man.

Old Peter looks a lot like Cliff Robertson when he played Uncle Ben in the Raimi films. And upon Googling Peter in the game looks a lot like young Cliff Robertson!

Take it to Insomniac!

"Ultimately we didn't go with an alien race because we felt like — no pun intended — that it would alienate a lot of people."

Read: "We know people would've been fine with it but EA said no."

Oh my goodness!

I'd buy that for a dollar!

@soracloud28 @QualityGeezer Nooooooo!

Djimon Hounsou!

@LiamCroft
"If you're still waiting for the upcoming Marvel's Avengers to really grab you"

That's a really nice way of putting it!

Insomniac staying classy!
I've already got the main plat and traded Spidey, but it was good fun - and the photo mode is pretty versatile too.

@NintendoFan4Lyf
I don't recommend all that many games, but I'd say get to it sooner rather than later. It breaks no moulds or new ground (despite the frothing adoration), but it's a very slick package that looks great and is pretty satisfying to play.

HCT looked alright. No particular interest in PES, but I might give it a go.

@tomassi
Not too sure about that tbf.

@tomassi
The single player looks pretty good actually - certainly worth £8.
