I did not see this coming. I guess there is an upcoming video game based off of the cult classic horror comedy, Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988). The game will be releasing June 4th for the PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Illfonic is the team behind this, they were also responsible for the recent Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, and you may also know them for that Friday the 13th game. Which I immediately was reminded of with the trailer below. I have never watched the movie, so I might wait to play this until after I check that out.

The Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons remake is dropping Feb 28th, for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Is anyone planning on buying it. I played the original game on the Xbox One back around the time it came out. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to others. But I don't understand why they decided to make a remake of it instead of just re-releasing it with some updated graphics maybe. The game looks great, and I guess the fact it has local co-op now does seem like a good addition. The original game would have been awesome with a two player co-op mode. To my knowledge you had to control both brothers in the original game. You can in this one too, but now you can do co-op. I hope the price isn't too high, the original game is going for $15 right now, I don't remember what it was priced at before, but I'm going to assume the remake will go for like $30 or so.

Found here - https://culturedvultures.com/delisted-digital-games/ We really need game preservation for the games lost to publishing rights and deals not getting sorted. Or Copyrights not being renewed. This list shows off 20 games that are currently delisted from storefronts, and likely only available via physical copies, that is if you can find the lot of them. Some of the games on this list are starting rise in price due to these delistings. Looking at recent prices, for Spec-Ops the Line on the 360, I see it's been going for around $50 for the standard edition, but if you have the Premium edition of the game, I see sold listings for over $100. The list also has P.T. which makes sense, since the only way to get it now is to find a PS4 with it downloaded, and I remember people making tons on selling their PS4 consoles. But yeah, might be time to find some of these games physically while you can. I'm still on the lookout for a copy of Driver San Francisco. That's one I want to get my hands on as I never fully played it. Are there any games that should be added to this list? Do you own any or most of the games on the list? Whether it be physical or digital.

Hidetaka Miyazaki, the owner and creator of Elden Ring and Bloodborne, recently discussed the possibility of releasing a remake of Bloodborne. It's likely not going to happen for the PS5, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it best to wait for new hardware to do it, so likely when the PS6 and other new consoles drop. He discusses how it was two console generations between the release of the Demon Souls Remake (PS3-PS5), so Miyazaki kind of expects the same for a Bloodborne remake. (PS4-PS6). Are you find with waiting for the PS6 to get a Bloodborne remake? More on this story here: https://www.eurogamer.net/elden-ring-boss-discusses-bloodborne-remake-benefits-of-waiting-for-new-hardware

I have a few old smartphones that I no longer use. I doubt I could get any profit for selling them or trading them in, they're phones that came out in 2017, so you probably won't be able to do much. I was thinking maybe use one as an emulator, another as a second webcam. I was thinking if I ever do stream, I could utilize two of the old phones as webcams maybe. If I stream, I kinda want to have a second screen for my cat. I think people would be into that. What fun things can you do with an old smartphone?

I found this article today featuring their list of the best Rockstar Games ever made. You can view it here - https://wealthofgeeks.com/the-best-rockstar-games-ever-made/ In it, they list GTA V, Red Dead Redemption 2 and San Andreas as the top 3. There was no mention of any of the original GTA titles. Than again, the first few games (top down) were developed by DMA Designs, but all were published under Rockstar. For the most part I mostly agree with the list. I know GTA V would stack up at the top, but I don't agree with it's placement over RDR2 based on story alone. But the way GTA V broke records sales wise, and how they continue to stay relevant all these years, it makes sense to put it at #1. Would you change this list around at all? Are any Rockstar games missing? Would you replace any on this list with some that didn't make the cut?

Neostream Interactive, the devs behind Little Devil Inside, have recently released a new trailer showing off gameplay for the game, including a developer update about the. You can view the trailer below. It looks really cool. I like the style of graphics, especially when it takes the sky view of the world. That looked cool. And it looks massive in scope, at least in terms of the world you're in. The combat looked pretty good too, was surprised how good it looked. I can't wait to get my hands on this game. You can find more on the game here - http://littledevilinside.com/ Looks like it's a timed exclusive for the PS4/PS5 first according to this article - https://twistedvoxel.com/little-devil-inside-new-gameplay-dev-progress-update/ But, was planned to also release on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. If timed exclusive, I imagine it will drop on those consoles later. Looking at their Kickstarter though, it looks like this game was in the works back in 2015. And they even had a Wii U port in the works.

Nintendo Switch will be getting ports of Grounded and Pentiment. They will be the first two of four Xbox exclusives dropping on the Switch. It's likely these two might also drop on the PlayStation consoles, unless Sony is getting its own 4 Xbox exclusives while the Switch its own as well. I'm sure we'll hear more about the other games coming to Switch. I played a bit of Grounded, but couldn't get into it. Pentiment on the other hand I have heard of, but never played. I hear it's a great game, so maybe one of these days I'll have to check it out. But yeah, I think this is great for Switch players. Grounded seems like a great fit for the platform.

Would there be any games you ever considered yourself a pro in? Maybe to the point you could one day go pro and play in tournaments? As a kid I probably thought I was the best at WWE Smackdown Here Comes the Pain because I played it so much. I rarely played it against others, and never played it online at the time, so I don't know how I'd consider myself to be a pro, but I thought I was. Anyway, I don't think there are any games today where I would consider myself a pro. I used to be fairly good at Call of Duty, but I was never pro good. If I ever tried to go pro, I would have been destroyed. I may not be a pro, but do you consider yourself a pro at certain games? And if so, which games?

Battlefront fans are going to love this. It's a new collection that will include both Battlefront 1 and 2, and will have 64 player lobbies. Looks pretty good. It will release for PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and the Switch. It's releasing March 14th.

With the recent release of Tomb Raider I–III Remastered, it made me wonder about the many sequels to these three installments. Do you think we'll see another remastered set release that includes the next three mainline games? Those games are; Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and The Angel of Darkness. There are games to follow, but they could easily tackle these next three games for a remastered set and then take on the next set of games. Would you like to see these three games get remastered in its own set? And maybe after this remastered trilogy, they can work on a remaster or remake of; Tomb Raider: Legend, Anniversary and Underworld.

I love me some kart racers, especially the likes of Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, the many Sonic themed racers and maybe Crash Team Racing. With that being said, what popular franchises would you like to see land their own kart racer? I'd love to see a kart racer for Sony themed games, could toss in Kratos, a lot of the Twisted Metal characters. They've already done a fighting game similar to Smash Bros. I think it was called PlayStation All-Stars. For the Microsoft side, maybe a Halo kart racer, or Xbox's own all-stars themed racer. What are some franchises you'd like to see get their own kart racer?

Alan Wake came out in 2010, with a remaster dropping in 2021. And of course, the official sequel came out last October. So a 13 year jump from the first to the second game. Now, I have yet to play Alan Wake 2, so if there is some tease near the end that could open up for a sequel, do you think we'll get that sequel in the next few years? Or could it take another 10+ years to see a sequel? If you have played Alan Wake 2, please don't spoil it, I just want to know if a third game is a possibility.

Freedom Fighters was a popular game that dropped on the PS2, Xbox and PC back in 2003. I've only ever played the game once myself, and haven't heard much about it ever since. I think it would be the perfect game to see a reboot of, or hell, even a remake or remaster of the original game. Square Enix currently owns the rights to it, so it's really about them giving the go ahead and starting production of a new game. What would you prefer? A re-visit to the original game with a remaster or possibly remake? Or would you prefer they make a completely new game in the franchise?

Source - https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2024/02/xbox-fans-petitioning-for-helldivers-2-to-launch-on-xbox Helldivers 2 is an exclusive to PlayStation consoles and is also available on Steam. It sounds like Xbox fans are a little jealous of Sony fans for getting this one, so much so that fans have created a petition to bring the popular release to Xbox consoles. If you're so inclined to vote, you can do so here - https://www.change.org/p/bring-helldivers-2-to-xbox-fans-await-thrilling-co-op-action It's already nearing the 50,000 signatures needed. Though I highly doubt this petition will change anything. Do you think we could expect Helldivers 2 on Xbox one of these days? Maybe with Xbox allowing a few of their exclusives, we could see Sony dishing out some of their own. But even that I doubt would happen.

I am looking for some free, but fun fighting games. I've recently been playing Drunken Wrestlers 2. It's a free to play fighting game essentially, where it utilizes more of a ragdoll effect when fighting. I have been having a blast with it and was curious if there are any other similar fighting games that may be free on Steam and other platforms?

If you still have your memory cards for your PS1, and you have saves you want to protect, there is a way to secure those saves for the future. As sad as it is to say, our memory cards will eventually stop working, as any device does. The files on said memory card don't stick around forever either, so there's always a chance that your old saves could be long lost to time. But, someone was able to make it possible to copy your old saves and transfer them to a PC for safe keeping. It's not an easy process, and requires an adapter for it to work, but it's one way to backup your old saves. You can view the full guide here: https://pslegends.com/how-to-backup-your-ps1-memory-cards/ I don't know if it works for PS2 memory cards though.

If you're someone who has dealt with stick drift in your joy con controllers, how often has it happened to you? And how many times have you sent your joy con in for a free repair? I know Nintendo a while back would offer free repairs to those who have joy con drift. I had sent my nephews joy cons in and they sent a new replacement in. But now another of his controllers is starting to act up, and I may have to send that in for repair as well. With that being said, how many times have you had to send your joy cons in for repair or replacement because of controller drift?

PlayStation hasn't released a new inFamous game since their release of Second Son in 2014, which is nearing 10 years now without a new game in the series. Do you think Sony forgot about the franchise? Do you think we'll ever see remasters or remakes of the original two games and maybe a remaster of Second Son? We'd of course have to hope for Sucker Punch to make a new game, they've been mostly focused on Ghost of Tsushima. But now they look to be free to make new games, do you think that a sequel to inFamous could happen? Or are we more likely to land a remaster or remake of the original games?

From - https://www.gameinformer.com/2024/02/16/report-respawn-developing-a-first-person-mandalorian-game Looks like Respawn is working on a new first-person game around the Mandalorian TV show. If you don't know, The Mandalorian is a popular Star Wars spin-off show that airs on Disney Plus. I watched the first two or three seasons, but haven't caught the most recent season. Or it could have been the other spin-off they did, I forget what it was called. Anyway, it finally looks like we're getting a game based on this series. And with Respawn doing it, I am actually kind of hyped for this. Though, it's being said you do not play the actual Mandalorian, aka Din Djarin, but as Mandalorian of your own, likely a completely new character in the story. It won't be an open world game though, and is said to be more linear, but that you'd travel to other planets and do missions there. I think it's similar in style to Jedi: Fallen Order. With Respawn making another, I'll be happy to check it out. I liked Fallen Order, but have yet to play Survivor. That will be next for sure.

I know the original game was a mixed bag for some, but I had a hell of a blast playing this with my friend and brother back in the day on the PS1. Even though it wasn't that good of a game and got pretty repetitive, I still had lot of fun with it. So much so, that I would welcome a remake. I doubt that would ever happen of course, as I don't think it was a game people particularly cared about. But if it ever happened, I would put money down on it. I think with a remake, they could do a hell of a lot more these days. Would you like a remake? Or even an updated remaster with better controls and additional content?

When I was growing up my parents would sometimes rent me a Sega Genesis and some games for the weekend. I specifically remember them asking if I ever wanted to rent the Sega Channel. I never understood what they meant by it, and I don't think they fully understood either. But I never did end up renting it along with the console, because I never had a clue what it did. That was until I got older and realized it was like an online service with the option to play certain games. In a way like gamepass sorta. Did anyone here actually get to try it out? I've always wanted to see what it was like in action. I assume you had to use your phone line to utilize it, and I see there was a monthly fee for it, so I don't know how places like Blockbuster were able to rent it out.

Found this article - https://culturedvultures.com/nes-facts-nintendo-enterainment-system/ it's about 15 NES facts you probably didn't know. I am by no means a pro when it comes to the NES and definitely don't know the full history of it. So there was a good deal of stuff I had no idea about. Like that Atari were in talks with Nintendo to release the NES in with Atari branding in the US originally. Didn't know about the NES satellite and quite a few other things listed. I sort of knew about the Tetris dispute between Atari and Nintendo. Atari thinking they had the rights to put out Tetris, but then turning out it was Nintendo who had the rights. And of course who doesn't know about Nintendo Power, like huh? I imagine there are a few of you here who do know about a lot of the stuff mentioned on this list, or even all of it. Is there anything they may have missed, or something you'd add?

Has anyone played the new Payday yet? I have not heard much of anything about this game in forever, and it's been out since Sept. I don't recall it releasing with much fanfare either, seemed fans weren't too pleased about something they did, maybe it being an online only game. And I read that the userbase fell off to the point that Payday 2 has more active players. Starbreeze even recently announced the game was underperforming, but it sounds like they are going to attempt to fix the problems. Like No Man's Sky style maybe, how it came out hated, and ended up actually working out. I don't know if fans are going to come back to Payday 3 though. They'd have to do some big changes. More on what Starbreeze had to say: https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/starbreeze-admits-payday-3-is-massively-underperforming Reviews on steam have been pretty brutal too. I guess they released paid DLC recently with all the problems going on. But, it's good to hear they are going to fix the problems. I hope.

Target currently has an Xbox Series S starter bundle going for $219.99 new. It comes with a standard controller, and 3 months of gamepass. Not a bad deal. Found it from IGN here: https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-series-s-consoles-have-dropped-to-just-220-at-target I believe it's only available in the US though. There are some other deals in the article, but the Xbox was the best deal from what I could tell. Here's the link to the target page: https://www.target.com/p/xbox-series-s-starter-bundle/-/A-89786038 Wish I had some extra money to splurge, cause I'd pick it up.
