So uh hey there
I'm the Wyseman, or T'ele depending on who's asking. I like to gpose this small orange creature and her many exploits every now and then
I'm also very fond of the highly underappreciated noble arse-kicker known as Hilda Ware. Might be a bit hard to tell

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

Man who announced new Elder Scrolls 7 years ago without anything being in development at all for about 4-5 of said years requests that we be excited for more snake oil in the form of a mid Unreal Engine Fallout 3 remaster that's 10x bigger in file size because they need it to look even more brown
Todd Howard teases that more 'Fallout' games are in the works 🎮
"We are working on even more. We are looking forward to the day when we can share that with everyone"

Ngl it'd be hard to notice any genAI impact on Halo's worldbuilding after over a decade of "And then Cortana turned into a dictator and suddenly got killed by THE NOUN who were always in the lore and were so super powerful and cool that even the Covenant/Forerunners were scared of them!"

Dawntrail is not immune from criticism, but if you see anyone who calls it FFXIV’s Shadowlands, I want you to know they never actually played Shadowlands.
Trust me.

I've been trying to put my finger on what exactly it is about Delta that looks just so awful to me, even beyond the complete erasure of the stylization (yes i know the bloom is overblown in the HD port shut up), and I think I realized it's because it looks like the "Hunt Down the Freeman" cutscenes.

I think we could make games quicker by drastically reducing the scope of projects so that not every title is some 50+ hour-long AAA project with massive bloat in every single aspect due to systemic incompetence on the middle manager level and above.
But what do I know? I just play the games, man.

At Gamescom, one sentiment remained consistent: We need to make games quicker. And to do that, more and more studios are turning to AI.

This is probably one of the most scathing things I’ve ever written, but Xbox has made it impossible to get invested in games like Marvel’s Blade, OD, and the new Toys for Bob game. There’s no reason to believe they’ll ever come out, and that’s because of the horrible mismanagement at the company.
There's No Reason to Be Excited About New Xbox Game Announcements Anymore
Xbox is earning a very bad reputation for announcing games and then just cancelling them several years later.

It bears reiterating, but the in-replicable combination of the pandemic quarantine, the major player exodus from WoW, and the culmination of a ~10 year long story produced sub numbers for Endwalker that shouldn’t be used as a standard or measure of an expansion’s quality.

Considering that Perfect Dark's "gameplay" trailer was fake, I'm still of the belief that Fable's one was ALSO fake. Like without a doubt.
If a game is published by Xbox Games and you have not seen gameplay, assume it will be canceled.
There are exceptions to this rule but not many.

BREAKING: Xbox is canceling Contraband, announced in 2021 from Avalanche Studios (Just Cause), after four years of radio silence, sources tell Bloomberg News. This news arrives weeks after a mass layoff in which Xbox canceled several other big titles.

Y'know I'm not one to claim that this was inevitable. Except for all those times that I did...
But yeah, the Bungie of today is a far, far cry from the Bungie of the 00's
Anyway lets see Sony go "Oops we're shutting them down because nobody played Marathon" about a month after it launches.

PlayStation is going to take a more heavy-handed role at Bungie than they originally said they were at the time of purchase.
