They could make good money on the nostalgia crowd with reprints.

I’d love a print of the advertising and coverage for Morrowind.

VitoRobles,

I’ve been getting a major kick out of the retro games community!

They’re reviewing old games, reviewing new games that look/act retro, interviewing designers of old games. It’s glorious.

Still missing NP to this day. Glad to see they’re back.

I really liked GI and i was saddened by their closure. Quality journalism (gaming and elsewhere) is dying, substituted by AI slop, paid influencers and clickbait articles.

Hopefully a few of the good ones remain. This is a step in the right direction.

I understand that they may never go to magazines but if GameInformer wants to give IGN and GameSpot some gaming journalist competition I’m all for it

A horde mode is nice, but making the existing maps more diverse is what the game needs for me to come back. Making all the maps from tilesets was a move in the right direction, but not going full procedural means we have generic looking maps that are also the same every time. The worst of both worlds.

Oh man. If you think game dev has been having a rough go of it lately, games media was already a smoking crater before all the waves of dev layoffs began. Now GI wants to dive back in and restart their print offering too? There are a bunch of good people over there and I’m happy they’re getting another chance unshackled from GameStop, but woof. Good luck!

Interesting that the District 9 director is involved with the parent company.

I thought Game Informer had some cool stuff. I really liked the second opinion on reviews, that tiny box inside the full review. It was fun to pick a side when they were at odds.

The rogue lite activity is really fun. I tried it this morning.

idogoodjob,

Have they added a similar rougelite mode to the one they had in vermintide or is this different?

Hermit_Lailoken,
@Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world avatar

I never played the Vermintide roguelite.

Predalien,

If you mean the chaos wastes, it’s not that.

In Darktide its always 12 Waves, at the beginning you choose a focus ( Indulgence) which dictates the character of the buffs you receive throughout your run. (think buffs to melee/ ranged, survivability, etc.) You receive a random minor buff every round in accordance with the Indulgence you chose at the beginning, and every 4 rounds you choose a major buff out of three presented to you (also in accordance with your chosen indulgence).

The mode is pretty fun, though the fact that there are currently only 2 maps lets it get stale pretty quick imo

I never cared for game informer. It always felt like GameStop was trying to shill it in order to sell subscriptions to a magazine that’s basically a giant advertisement for GameStop.

Gimme those cooler magazines. Game Pro, Nintendo Power, PSM etc.

philycheeze,

Game Informer always felt like the cheap knockoff to Electronic Gaming Monthly.

catloaf,

Most magazines are just ads.

wisemanzero,

Next Generation was always my bag.

I understand what you’re saying about Game Informer, but it’s hilarious you name Nintendo Power and PSM as alternatives, considering that.

altima_neo,
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

Yeah but all least they weren’t being forced on you

Lightor,

You don’t want a magazine that’s adverts but you like Nintendo Power and PSM…

altima_neo,
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

Those were the best ads tho. Game informer was just a GameStop ad. And GameStop always made me feel bad.

Lightor,

So you like ads, just not GameStop ads? I mean, GI had a lot of info about games, too. Beyond Nintendo and PS, you could actually learn about PC games.

People are into vinyl and tube TVs again. Barnes & Noble just opened a huge branch in a hot (meaning: expensive) neighborhood here in Chicago. I guess people like physical things again.

SatanClaus,

I see it in a different light. The people that were raised on digital goods finally have the money to purchase physical goods.

mesamunefire,

Might be both. I know a couple of 20s that love physical media. Its crazy to think about, but they stated their childhood was mostly screens and rectangles. They both like Vinyl which is crazy to me. They are working their first jobs too.

setsubyou,
@setsubyou@lemmy.world avatar

Just enough money to buy some physical goods, but not enough to buy so many that storage becomes a problem…

darkkite,

i have the money but not the space. i used to have a subscription back in ps2-ps3 gen but the world has changed. now i just follow a few people on youtube, pateron and use sites like this or reddit for news.

PacMan,

I think people are catching on to these digital services can remove things you bought or they even fold. You own a physical item it is yours to do as you please with it

Andonyx,

Damn, can we escape the encroaching hellscape by transporting everyone back to 1998? 🫰

Lost_My_Mind,

Yes please. To quote time traveling reporter Ryan George “PLEASE bring me back to the 90s! The future is dumb, and nothing makes sense, and I hate it!”

lol, I don’t believe they did that! That was awesome!

This was a really fun video. The context is that the voice actor for Nathan Drake (Uncharted) is talking to the voice actor for Indiana Jones.

SolidShake,

Uh. Troy Baker did do the voice for Indiana Jones.

simple,

That’s what I said, it’s Troy Baker (Indiana Jones) talking to Nolan North (Nathan Drake)

SolidShake,

Yup I’m dumb. I get these two mixed up a lot. Then j had to Google and realized Troy Baker played Nathan’s brother in uncharted 4.

Zahille7,

And the two were on almost every western video game from like 2009-2017, so they were everywhere

SolidShake,

And Matt Mercer as well .
