Back in the day, devs used to release screenshots of their games progress every few months to game mags. Maybe if they started doing that again these hackers will lose their incentive. They're pretty much doing it for the attention right?

@Stevemalkpus It truly was a gem. In Power Stone 2 I don't think I've spent more hours crafting items than I did in that game to this day. I'd even take a remaster over most of today's party or moba offerings.

Onimusha and Power stone for me. With all the souls games and Phantom Blade/ Wukong coming out. There's a large enough market to bring back Onimusha.

@Silenos haha yea I'm pretty sure everyone who unlocked her has been using her technique to blaze through SU so far.

Yea Kebab shops and McDonalds early hours. Most of them have security guards with pepper spray now. Although I'm a bit surprised he said this kind of thing doesn't happen in Japan as it's a staple trope in tons of anime and shows where the yakuza or hoodlums cause a scene in a restaurant. Can't all just be fiction right?

I'll consider this another Chinese tech demo until there's a review on Push.

No Cyclops No Interest. I'll gladly take an X-men open world gacha like Genshin or even turn based like HSR. I'm surprised they're not doing that instead of an Overwatch clone.

They'll probably ruin it. There's no MGS without Kojima san same way there's no Ninja Gaiden without Itakagi san. These companies should just move on with new IP's and take the L's for their decisions.

Wuthering Waves and Warframe

@Starkei Do loot boxes have a guarantee? Gacha does. Much lesser evil if you know how much you might have to spend to get required item. Still a vile and evil practice though.

Been playing WW on PC and while I do see the similarities to Genshin in the world design aspect I'd say it's closer to HSR in character and enemy design (Echos are pretty much Void rangers)and even some of the names of people and locations are practically identical when pronounced. Combat is much better than in Genshin which was the reason I couldn't sink much time into it. The VA is quite bad though compared to HSR it sounds like they need to invest a lot more into that department as it reminded me of the earlier days when VA's became a part of games.
Hopefully this is just their "We can do it too" phase and they will show what they truly have in store for this title.

Playing through WW at the mo on PC. So far so good. A few bugs but that's to be expected on day 1. Will probably all be sorted by the time it's out on PS.

If the rumors are true and xbox is no longer competition for ps5 then this whole force the world to make a psn account might be the first step to psn no longer being free.

Honkai Star Rail. Just finished the 2.2 story now back to the farm. These materials are breaking my back.

I'm guessing we should expect a DC variant of Marvel Rivals some point in the future.

I wouldn't classify Destiny 2 as F2P it's more free to try. You will hit the pay walls after a few days of playing. No story, dungeons or raids unless you pay.

@NEStalgia I think it's great if it introduces newer gamers to some of the best games out there. Remember most of them would gladly pay 100's on skins every season so getting them interested in spending on different full games should be great for the industry in the long run.

@Fiendish-Beaver Bud nipped for awards speech maybe?

If MK had the smooth animations of Tekken or Soul Calibur it would be my top fighting game.

I'll be waiting till the entire arc is finished before I decide.

I believe that sub-species of human is called "Whale"

@Specky I'm with you on this. Studios keep churning "nostalgia" dlc in the hopes that it will sell. When they would be better off reinventing those characters or IP's to suit modern day tastes or the franchise they are being introduced into. Bungie did the same thing with ghost busters recently and that was such an insult to the fans of both IP's and to the work they themselves had been putting in for over a decade.

@tameshiyaku Hahaha haven't heard that name in a while. Didn't it suck so bad they gave players end game equipment and gear just to keep them entertained before it shutdown?

@get2sammyb Yup Acheron is a must have. Her technique to 1 shot enemies on the field and prevent encounters will be most appreciated while I'm trying to get all the hidden chests and puzzles in an area.

@get2sammyb Is Penacony Land of Dreams better than Broken Keel? The 10% damage increase only applies to allies of the same type but with Keel the CD buff is team wide.

@Mostik Same reason I'm waiting for the Super Ultimate Championship Edition that will most likely be released in a few years with all DLC and patches. I'm sure I've got enough games to tide me over till then.

Is it related to the anime story?

Didn't Pal World cost 6.7million to make? with about 50 people? These AAA games cost hundreds of millions and I've known hungry artists and designers long enough to know they're only getting scraps.

I'm guessing they couldn't make a live service justice league as there is the DC online universe still about.

They should rehire (If any left) the team members that worked on Soul Calibur 1-3 as those were the Best in the series IMO. And what happened to weapon break from Soul Blade/Edge? That was such a good mechanic that forced you to parry or focus on attacking. Now that they've mastered various martial arts in Tekken, they can bring that mechanic back and give the SC fighters their own unique martial arts after their weapon breaks.

I'd much rather have a new season of the anime. Also I don't think I'd refer to Bell as "Horny". If anything it's his goddess that fits that description.

This is why creators need more control over their IP's. I doubt Aktusami san would have allowed this to launch in this form.

@Shigurui That makes sense, Thanks for clarifying. I'm getting vibes that there will be some kind of arena with the worst prisoners to fight.

Why no powerstone 2? That will most likely be a guaranteed hit these days. It was ahead of it's time when people barely had internet and console connections were a joke.

I just hit me that Penacony is just Penal Colony. I do like the retro vibe for the new map and the article is right in saying the Xianzhou's space politics was already getting too much. This new arc is supposed to span 3 updates if I recall correctly so we probably won't see a new world till 2nd half of the year or later.

Didn't a studio try this back in the day with an MMO and TV show? Where players actions influenced the direction of the story. I believe it got cancelled due to massive trolling but I could be wrong.

If fans stop buying they will stop making this trash and focus on the actual game. The fans are to blame for this.

The success of Honkai star rail has shown that scifi magic turn based games still have an audience. Gimmie FF8 with updated graphics and turn based.

@themightyant That's why I'm looking forward to getting Sparkle. Her SP refunds might make DHIL and Bronya team ups viable. This might even make QQ worth building.

@Flaming_Kaiser Lol I can remember thinking "If only this had prestige". It was a pointless addition to CoD imo but it kept me playing even though all you got was a different looking medal icon and weapon skin in some iterations.

I agree. They tried to go the CoD route and it flopped. They should have gone back to the KZ3 formula but I guess Horizon was on the ...Horizon so they shifted gears.

@ZhuckelDror Nothing to do with delusions, gamers have preferences.

@Flaming_Kaiser IKR?! KZ3 is still the best multiplayer FPS I've played to date and I've played all the major ones. The balance of the various classes, weapons and mission objectives has yet to be beaten in any other multiplayer FPS imho. I think to date it's been the only game that's gotten me super hyped during load screens as you never know how a match will turn out. From the level to sound design and kill animations it was so immersive, even when playing as a Helgast I felt like it was my duty to win for the emperor lol. GG might not want to touch KZ cause of the lawsuite that followed after Shadow Fall. I hope they do though as even a remake would be most welcome.

Wouldn't Killzone and Resistance be more than suitable candidates for Sony's Live service mid life crisis? The lore and fan base are already there.

@ZhuckelDror KZ3 multiplayer was for a lot of gamers. I also had COD but spent more time on KZ3

Killzone 3 multiplayer was my most played fps multiplayer game. I miss that game.

Lmao Hachi. I hope that's not the only version of Heihachi we see.

I'm surprised there's complaints (unless i'm getting this wrong) but isn't this the same as the late Sir Sean Connery copyrighting his face and voice so if any one used this they had to pay royalties? This way great VA's can take on multiple roles from their couch and still get paid right? I understand that early on it will only be the more popular VA's used but with lots of mods out and coming out for rpgs that make npc's have multiple voice lines this would be a boon for lesser known VA's. They will need to revamp the payment structure for sure but it can be done. A shop keeper/ quest giver will get asked more random questions than villager A.

@Judal27 It just might do. I hope all the people selected for the beta request it's return in their feedback. If you've completed the current TB continuance mission it seems the Heliobi are going to be a mainstay type enemy/ antagonist/ pawn so fiend fire just might make it back

@get2sammyb I'm emerald with jealousy... I bet you've got all their signature LC's too.

@Judal27 Fiend fire was a great mechanic. Sacrificing an ult to ensure the enemy did not get the buff was a nice twist.
