Re: The Best Star Wars Battlefront Games Are Coming to PS5, PS4

LordAinsley

There must be some mad game preservation obsessed employee within Disney.

I would not have expected to see this level of dedication to keeping classics playable, especially at a mega corp like Disney but over and over again, they keep releasing classic titles on new consoles. Hell they're holding up the entire PS Plus Premium catalog

Re: Outriders Dev People Can Fly Reportedly Hit by Layoffs

LordAinsley

Not looking good there, Outriders was unprofitable and what should have been a quick win, Bulletstorm VR, is turning into a PR disaster.

Sucks, they're a decent dev. They seem to have 5 projects in development. They're gonna need a hit there otherwise I think its over for them

Re: UK's GAME Stores to Stop Accepting Trade-Ins from Next Month

LordAinsley

I dont know if anyone has been to a GAME in the last few years, but they pretty much mostly sell Plushies, V-Bucks and Funkos now.

Even a decade ago I think their shelves were more filled with Skylanders figurines than actual video games. No big loss.

Also Mike Ashley owns it now, and quite honestly he can go REDACTED himself with a large iron rod

As someone who Platinumed Lies of P, I massively agree. Cannot wait for the DLC and Lies of P 2.

However, I keep seeing Lies of P praised in the same sentence as Lords of the Fallen.

Did we play the same game? I thought it was a buggy ugly mess. The framerate is atrocious, a lot of the design of the areas is pretty poor in my opinion. Ugly world, boring worldbuilding. Poor story. Only a few interesting bosses. Multiplayer pretty busted on launch.

I didnt play the original LOTF game but if this game vastly improves on it, jesus, LOTF (2014) must have been borderline unplayable.

You do not get lauded for fixing something you launched broken. Period.

At best you repair your reputation to pre-launch state. Personally, the assumption is now their next game will launch busted too and it will eventually be playable 3 years later.

Next game launched successfully puts their reputation on track to where it was prior to 2077s launch.

Re: Game of the Year: #7 - Lies of P

LordAinsley

People who don't understand the placement didn't play it.

It's truly fantastic and deserves any accolade it gets. A definite sufferer from the 2023 glut of good games, insane to think It Takes Two won GOTY at the game awards a few years back, P (and most of this years top 10) are strides above it
