Yeah, this is the guy who negotiated with the Russian government to get Tetris onto the gameboy. After the Soviet Union disbanded he founded the Tetris Company with Alexey Pajitnov (the original creator).
I hope they manage to salvage this game and steer it back. I loved HLD and solar ash and was really disappointed when I heard this game had major issues.
To be fair, the update itself was announced last year (here is a random IGN article about the announcement) after people started complaining about upcoming shutdown of the first game (which in turn spawned the Stop Killing Games initiative).
Not that this makes the filing irrelevant but it’s not some knee-jerk reaction thrown together on the spot. Besides, game built with online components in mind calling servers once a minute isn’t really that crazy (whether that should be a thing for a single player mode is a different matter).
The case by noyb referenced single player games. Stuff like session start, duration et cetera was being tracked.
I was one of the people that signed the SKG initiative after The Crew was taken offline. Not because I loved the game so much but it’s the principle. I payed for it and should still be able to play it.
Ah, I see. I thought it was specifically related to TC2. Thanks for clarifying.
I haven’t played or owned TC but game preservation is an important topic for me so I also signed and tried to popularise it as much as possible. I don’t expect much but every attempt is important.
Even though I have been gaming since Pong (my first game console), I have never played any Elder Scrolls games. This trailer’s voice over is new to me, and it is so strange and nostalgic to hear Patrick Stewart’s young and vibrant voice on the trailer for a game released this morning.
90% of Oblivion’s voice acting budget must have gone to paying for Patrick Stewart and Sean Bean to say a few dozen lines. It’s long been a meme that basically every other person in Cyrodill shares the same six or seven voice actors.
I’ve mostly been ignoring these Oblivion remake posts. I’ll believe it’s actually gonna happen when/if they actually drop it in the next 24-48 hours. I actually don’t give a shit, and it’s one of my favorite games.
I’m with you there. It’s going to be cool and I really want it, but I’ve already completed it a bunch. I’m never going to be able to get properly excited like I would for ES6
You could try the original version, they released it for free and the pixelation may help make it feel less disorienting. Or when I used to play some games on the psvr I’d have a ginger ale or something with ginger in it to help with any disorientation nausea.
That trailer made it look like Destiny 2 crucible. Complete with hunters going invis to one shot you without warning.
I was hesitantly optimistic over the past years. Maybe it would be a story driven game like Destiny, but in larger PvPvE maps. But now just looks like a generic extraction shooter done in Destiny crucible style
I have been waiting for this for so long that I even forgot it’s coming. This game released 6(!!!) years ago and ended on a cliffhanger with a “to be continued”. And it’s still going to be free, hell yes!
I’ll give you IGN is less than cool but the game will be quality. I can’t think of a bad Mario Kart game. I can’t even think of a mediocre MK game. They have all been great.
MK7 was great! Critically and commercially. It was the best selling game on 3DS. Review scores between critics and users were all pretty high as well. I would say it’s better than mediocre. Maybe for those chronically online…
