I guess they don’t want to a) split the user base of similar games, b) force people into buying new stuff from new game, c) can’t or don’t want to maintain multiple live service games at the same time. These are guesses by me, not saying its the case here or always the case, just giving a few ideas why this could happen.
The biggest problem to me is, that they will shutdown the previous game. I think its different enough to keep it, but probably not many people play it. What is the current Don’t kill videogames campaign called again?
4v4, objective based gameplay with a slight hero-shooter twist
This sounds awesome to me! Add the portal mechanic to the mix and its a unique hero shooter with objectives. I played the first game back when it was new, but stopped playing because lack of content, playing the same thing over and over again. It got boring. Hopefully they learned their lesson this time.
Closing Tango Gameworks was one of the brilliant ideas of the decade by Microsoft. I’m curious to see what will happen how and what games they will produce. At least the talent can work together and have their jobs, regardless of the output.
Looks like it runs on the Deck. My concern was a possible problem with a new launcher or some kind of anticheat or DRM. Maybe its unsupported because some internet connection functionality does not work, but it runs in single player? Not sure, need to read the reports and comments. But at least many reports say it works.
These aren’t actually Half-Life 3 leaks. I watched the video. He says everything in the video is about leaks and speculation will be marked as such. But there is nothing that points the files being Half-Life 3 related. He speculates that its about Half-Life 3 (without marking it as speculation).
So no, this is either misleading in order to get more clicks and viewer, or in best case just wishful thinking. There is absolutely nothing that makes this a Half-Life 3 leak, this is just another speculation that Valve would work on the game. You know in the past years, how often Tyler was wrong with his own speculation…
They were much more tactical and had better controls too, visually and audio better and just more polished. The PES series (before they renamed it from ISS) were just the better games back then. I started with International Superstar Soccer Deluxe on the SNES and wasn’t even a big sports fan. But got obsessed (well not that extreme maybe) with this game. And then the Nintendo 64 followup International Superstar Soccer 64 was phenomenal! Everyone compared it to FIFA 64 and it was clear and cut which game was better for the majority. I’ve played PES98 on original PSX too.
Today, people can’t understand how good these games were back then compared to any other football/soccer game at that time.
It’s not just “it was”, but “it is”. I am right now playing TOTK on Yuzu (yes the one that is no longer available) at 1440p 60 fps, with around 60 hours and near the end. I played this year BOTW the same, but 130 hours! And I enjoy them with my favorite controller at the moment, the Xbox Series S controller. The experience is not perfect, but I think much better than on original hardware.
