delmain, do gaming w Uncharted's Tom Holland reportedly set to star in Jak and Daxter adaptation with Chris Pratt

If you’re talking about Chris Pratt and Tom Holland, why would you pick “Uncharted” to use as your contact point for Tom Holland instead of fucking Spider-Man?

E: This is targeted at whoever wrote the title for Eurogamer of course

Yokozuna, do games w Microsoft will sell Activision Blizzard streaming rights to Ubisoft

What the holy monopoly is this. Basically the three worst major game developing companies have now joined forces. Activision, Blizzard, and now Ubisoft. Holy shit. Yea guess who isn’t playing any more titles put out by them, big yikes.

Grangle1,

Almost makes you miss the days when EA was the world’s worst company.

Yokozuna,

They were always there lurking in the background making shitty titles, they just weren’t in the light like the are now.

Lord_Logjam,

I’m confused. Why would this be the thing that stops you playing games by these companies? Especially considering Activision Blizzard might stop being so shitty when the people at the top leave after the acquisition. I’m not saying you shouldn’t avoid games based on ethics, I just think this deal is a weird one to be the deal-breaker for you.

Yokozuna,

Never really liked titles from Activision or ubisoft to begin with and thats just my opinion, just enjoyed the odd blizzard game and that’s been a rocky road as of late. I’m just not a fan of monopolies really, and if I can avoid shoveling money into the beast then I will. But as time goes on it will be harder and harder to navigate this because I’m sure there I’ll be some games put out by companies owned by Microsoft because their reach is so big I’m starting to get more into indie games as well party because of this in part.

Lord_Logjam,

Fair enough. I do agree with you on the indie front. Hades and Hollow Knight are two of my favourite games of all time. Remnant 2 has knocked it out of the park. And there are so many interesting smaller games coming from indie studios these days.

Exactly. When I watch pirates I watch so much Monkey Island it’s not funny.

I walked past my niece watching it the other day, and there was governor phat, right there on screen. Except it was the king. But it was governor phat.

The dog with the key. The voodoo woman, etc etc etc etc

Knowing how these adaptations go, I don't blame him. Good chance they'll muck it up somehow.

Is that 220 number the first party games or all 360 games the aren’t backwards compatible? I thought the number was in thousands.

Edit: I was wrong it is 220 only.

Oh please let it be good.

FancyFeaster,

Same. It will either be amazing or terrible.

Or amazing and cancelled after 1 season (rip Peripheral)

Huh, this wasn’t even on my radar. Well, like the rest of the folks said, we can hope!

The dead silence when the Fallout title came on screen is pretty telling. Everyone was rolling through the possibilities in their heads about just how mediocre, unimaginative, and unmemorable this will be after it doesn't get renewed for a second season.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

i heard itll be about as mediocre as fallout 2, which was also set in LA at parts

VoltaicGRiD,

@MattBoySlim
Its crazy to me how companies can keep writing up these TV show adaptations, and get away with it.

90% of your target audience doesn't want anything to do with it, and yet you keep making it.

Wild.
@chloyster

MattBoySlim,

I don’t know, I’ve enjoyed Fallout ever since the first one and I’m looking forward to the show. It’s not like they have to follow a specific storyline from the games, just a new story in an established setting. Should be easy enough. If it’s good, more people will get into Fallout. If it’s bad, oh well, the games are still there.

VoltaicGRiD,

@MattBoySlim

I always, always hope that its good, but unfortunately 8/10 times, it tends to be a disservice to the franchise.

Could you imagine a Metal Gear TV / movie adaptation? I can't imagine anyone could ever make that a descent representation of not only the content, but the people who are invested in it too, but I would love more than anything to be proven wrong.

I wish the series well, but when we’ve just been told another game isn’t coming out for 10+ years you cant expect too much hype from fans. The best I can do is mild interest.

wish obsidian had the rights…as og fallout fan it really hurts to see what bethesda is doing to the franchise

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

why? almost nobody from obsidian has also worked on new vegas. and new vegas was and still is the buggiest fallout game ever made

entropicdrift,

Buggiest and one of the best written. RPGs need high quality writing.

HotDogFingies,
@HotDogFingies@kbin.social avatar

Yes. I love New Vegas. Fantastic storylines. I started off with 2 and I'd say that New Vegas is the title I remember with the most fondness. The Fallout franchise is in my top 3. Just a joy to play.

Have I tried unsuccessfully to revist it several times over the years? Also yes.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

rpgs also need to be playable. and the writing is very exposition heavy

entropicdrift,
!deleted5697 avatar

Never said it was perfect, but the game got great reviews and won a bunch of awards because it’s good despite the bugs.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

it actually made obsidian miss out on a bonus because it was so buggy it affected reviews

storksforlegs,
@storksforlegs@beehaw.org avatar

I dont know, I would argue Fallout 76 was much buggier.

AttackBunny,

IMO it depends on the system, and they are buggier in different ways. I’ve never not been able to play 76, but New Vegas would just shut down, or freeze, and you’d lose a bunch of stuff. Even 3 I still have never played the alien mothership DLC because it just wouldn’t let me. I’d get to the beam me up part, and it would freeze every time. I’ve also only played it on playstation, I’ve heard less issues with other systems.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

bethesda had a lot of problems making their games work on ps3, its why the dragonborn dlc for skyrim was released way later than it was on xbox

skankhunt42,

the only bugs i remenber are related to running it on newer tech.

but the story and characters are awesome and it actually captures the fallout spirit, unlike f3/4/76.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

there’s no way f3/4/76 fail to capture the fallout spirit haha. what a weird statement to make

skankhunt42,

I guess you never played 1 and 2. And 76 has obviously no other connection to fallout than the name, some words and assets. It is like the anti-fallout.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

so for fallout to feel like fallout it needs dated cringy 90s related humor? despite the fact the game takes place hundreds of years after the 90s? cause that’s fallout 2

and im guessing you never played 76

skankhunt42,

og fallout humor is timeless…

to my utmost shame I have to admit that I preordered it. it was not only a slap in the face for all fallout fans but also all gamers. bethesda put zero effort into this cashgrab.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

theres no way you can see the detailed world and say thats zero effort. its like the best world bethesda has ever crafted. its huge, vaired, and interesting. regardless of the games own failings, its definitely not a zero effort release, otherwise they would have given up on it years ago

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

Oh no, there’s absolutely effort put into the graphics. It’s just everything else that’s missing.

The overall writing and direction in Bethesda’s games is piss poor as they haven’t prioritized it in some time. Even TES suffers from this. But I guess that’s more about the crowd they’re trying to appeal to.

It’s all cool if you like Bethesdas version of the Fallout world. But not everyone else subscribes to it.

And for reasons that are quite valid. As Beth’ has deviated far from the roots of the franchise.

skankhunt42,

directly from my heart. on point, wish I could upvote more

bermuda,

There are plenty of games that feel true to their roots without needing to feel like the same thing. 1 and 2 came out almost 30 years ago. While they’re good games, there are other ways to explore those kinds of stories than by just replicating those two.

skankhunt42,

thats my point for new vegas, different but still giving you the good vibes of the original.

f3/4 is missing that completelly. feels more like fanfiction, but not the good kind.

bermuda,

You mean interplay? New Vegas is good but I’ve never thought it was so fundamentally different that bethesda was “hurting” the franchise as opposed to them.

skankhunt42,

new vegas was pretty close to the roots while bethesda just borrows terms and artwork, but is never able to combine it with a story and chars that give you that fallout feeling.

not arguing that they basically took a dead ip and created games loved by millions. but if you are looking for og fallout new vegas is the way to go.

pbjamm,

Interplay…feel like I am in the Wayback Machine. I worked there for a few years at the time of Carmageddon, Fallout1/2, Descent, and some other classics. A lifetime ago.

I still have my Vault13 flask from Fallout2. Sad that I can not really use it anymore though as the printing is very fragile now.

bermuda, (edited ) do gaming w Fallout TV series "sneak peek" leaks online following Gamescom Starfield presentation

Been looking forward to it.

ram, do gaming w Larian drops Series S split-screen as "solution" to bring Baldur's Gate 3 to Xbox this year
@ram@lemmy.ca avatar

This is great news. Glad to see Xbox players will get to play this fantastic game!!

theangriestbird, do gaming w Larian drops Series S split-screen as "solution" to bring Baldur's Gate 3 to Xbox this year

I remember split-screen being real shaky for D:OS2 on the PS4. Not surprised that they struggled to get it working for this even-more-demanding game on a resource-limited console.
