No Pizza Tower? Starfield on the list?!

Not again.

Just when I was hoping to see some fan games start popping up, we’re gonna get Spyro 4: It’s about Slime or whatever. And they’ll probably lock it behind their stupid blizzard launcher and it will be console exclusive before it makes it to pc etc. etc.

I’m done. I loved Spyro, but it’s time to let a dead franchise rest in peace.

It’s about slime lol

mesamunefire,

Hopefully Microsoft will give it a more open release. I doubt it, but it would be nice.

I wonder what they could do to breath new fire into it (har). It is a fun trilogy to play, for sure, but it also feels like playing a game of its time.

I really miss games like this though. The last time I felt the bridge between games like Spyro and “modern” times (I’m old) was Kameo. Kameo was such a gem and felt like I was playing a newer Spyro, Medievil, or Banjo game.

While we’re on the subject, where the heck is Conker?

simple,

Have you tried A Hat in Time? It really gave me the feeling of a really polished, modern PS2 game. It’s a ton of fun.

Pegasusrace,

To me, aHiT always felt like Sunshine 2: No FLUDD. Hat Kid controls just like Mario without the fancy flips

PM_Your_Nudes_Please,

In fact, it’s so close to Sunshine that there’s a FLUDD mod on PC. It performs exactly as you’d expect. It’s obviously cheating and makes platforming much easier than intended, but it’s interesting just how close AHIT actually is to Sunshine in terms of how the game feels to play.

hitmyspot,

Have you tried psvr? The astrobot on the first one is amazing.

VerseAndVermin,

Sadly I haven’t! I have a Vive but it isn’t on there. You got me watching a video and it looks like a lot of fun to!

Except for the Switch, I haven’t owned a console since the 360. I kind of went hard into PC by accident.

hitmyspot,

My son is 6 and wants a switch. I know there’s a new switch coming this year or next so I’m hesitant. From a value point of view, sales on steam and the back catalogue prices will be much more enjoyable for him. However, it’s where his friends go. We’re in Australia, so no official support or sales here, so we’ll see when it’s his birthday what the lay of the land is.

VerseAndVermin,

Being 6, I would just go with the game system they like. You and I know PC/SteamDeck are killer but youngins always fixate on what they like. Besides, I have a feeling a switch would be cheaper. Not so sure about a switch 2 being cheaper though.

Your kids lucky your thinking it out. 😎👍

Please, don’t give me hope.

There’s a comment on the article jokingly referring to a Parappa the Rapper tease. Now there’s a game I’d love.

simple,

I would love a remaster of the original game where the controls actually work and it stops failing you for no reason.

MrScottyTay,

I was going to write one here. Good to know others thought the same thing haha

EnderMB,

It’s a shame that Truggy passed away, because I can imagine De La Soul being up for reprising their role in the theme tune.

I’ve often dreamt about a reboot of Parappa, combining realistic graphics with 2Dish animation, featuring famous hip-hop artists.

I love how every article mentioning a game/IP owned by Activision has to say that ‘now that Microsoft owns BAK, the game may be an Xbox exclusive. Ragebait journalism at it best.

Totk is overrated as hell, I had so much more fun with any other game on the list

SmoochyPit, do gaming w Is Unreal Engine 5 'too big' for Steam Deck?

Interesting read— basically all games boiled down to running at “720p with 50% internal resolution”; that’s 360p internal resolution, less than the GameCube from 2001.

But, that’s paired with Lumen GI, high resolution textures, FSR2 or Epic’s TSR upscaling and a huge shift in how we render games (deferred rendering, temporal effects, normal mapping, etc). And on a Linux handheld. We came full circle in a way, but what a time to be a gamer!

Click bait title, as usual the answer is no.

chloyster,

A bit click baity but the test results I found to be interesting and fun to read through

Stillhart, do gaming w Star Wars Outlaws releasing "late" 2024, Disney says

I’m tentatively interested, but I can’t remember the last open world game I played that wasn’t just a reskin of something I’ve already played before. Sure, a game doesn’t have to be innovative to be fun. But it sure helps. Especially in a genre that can feel like doing chores, rather than playing, if it’s not done well.

DdCno1,

Try Rodina. Very unique and interesting seamless “open solar system” game made by a single developer. Comes with a fun ship interior builder. It looks very bland and dated on screenshots, but feels awe-inspiring to play, creating a sense of scale that I have not seen anywhere else. It feels almost 3D even on a flat screen.

Rodina does not have a ton of actual content, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Also, you can propel yourself around space with a fire extinguisher, which automatically makes this the best space game in history.

There’s a free demo, if you are curious.

“Star Wars Outlaws, the open world Star Wars game, is set to release late this year,” the post reads (thanks, IGN). "The game lets you explore distinct planets across the galaxy,

Desperately not trying to fall prey to the Starfield curse of too many fucking loading screens.

I just remedied the Starfield blues by starting up The Outer Worlds.

ConstableJelly, do gaming w Silent Hill 2 Remake developer teams up with The Walking Dead's Skybound Entertainment

I don’t understand what Bloober is doing to secure these partnerships. I enjoyed Observer for the visual spectacle, and I appreciated The Medium for what it was trying to do despite it feeling mechanically and thematically incomplete.

I’m not attached to Silent Hill so I’m not terribly invested in their remake, but figured it would be a fair proving ground for them to grow up from the ambitious-but-flawed style that has marked their other games. Maybe this deal is a sign that Skybound has already seem something they like?

GammaGames,

Maybe it’s just because they’re consistent? The Medium was fun enough to play over a few weekends and from what I’ve seen they do well with the letsplay crowd

ConstableJelly,

Ah interesting, I’m not connected to the letsplay scene, didn’t know they had clout there.

kernelPanic, do gaming w Activision Blizzard settles sex discrimination lawsuit for £44m

£36.85m ($46.75m) will be shared between claimants who claim that they were unfairly paid, and £7.1m ($9.1m) will cover associated legal fees.

That is a lot of money. Any idea how many they are?

Auzy, do gaming w Bethesda plans to update Starfield "roughly every six weeks starting in February"

Are they going to add more boring planets, to make it more like real life?

Introducing paid mods is something I don't support but I'm interested to see what things look like when it launches on Starfield.

That aside, I hope they take the empty world complaints to heart, if they can make the world more full I am willing to return to the UC Shitcan and fight for my citizenship.

I've got over 100 hours in and all the trophies, nothing left in the base game for me, I'm not doing 10 playthroughs with 1 character though.
