FBC: Firebreak is an upcoming 3 player co-op FPS from Remedy Entertainment. I wasn't expecting that, but I'm happy to see Remedy doing a multiplayer FPS like this. I can see myself playing this. It's coming out for PC (Steam & Epic Games), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. And the cool thing is, it'll launch day one on Xbox Gamepass and PlayStation plus. No official release date yet though.

This looks good, Xbox is cooking! It's an upcoming RPG that combines a soulslike game with an extraction game. Coming in 2025 for the PC and Xbox Series X|S. The Norse theme going on here.

This is a post from Altar of Gaming that you can view here - https://altarofgaming.com/playstation-2-weird-games/ It's a list of 11 weird and strange PS2 games. Have you played any of these games? Out of this list, I'm really only aware of Mister Mosquito and maybe Mad Maestro. The rest are all new to me. Do you recognize any of them? First four on the list are: Chulip Mister Mosquito Under The Skin Demolition Girl

Bloober Team may be hyped up recently due to their success with the new Silent Hill 2 remake, but they aren't done there as they have a new sci-fi survival horror gaming coming in 2025. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic Poland in the 1980s and includes time travel. The trailer is below. It looks pretty good, but it's mostly cinematic, and there is a hint of gameplay near the end, but it's not much. It's coming out for PC (steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

I do not have my collection insured or anything. Then again I don't know if I have enough games to be insured there. But I guess I'll have to look into it further. Anyway, have any of you's insured your gaming collections? How was the process? Did you ever have to file a claim on damages or loss? I bring this up because I watched a recent video from Lazy Game Reviews about how his house was damaged during the recent hurricanes. He lost a fair deal of his collection to water damage. A tree or two fell on his house resulting in water to come in. Games, PCs, and other tech items were affected by it. You can check the video of him taking a tour through the damage, it's pretty sad, but I'm glad he is in good spirits. I think it just goes to show that maybe it's a good idea to get your collections insured. Whether those collections are for video games or anything else. I think it's a good idea to be insured if you're a collector. Because you never know when natural disasters like this occur.

Did anyone play the VR game Arizona Sunshine? It came back for PC in 2016 and I believe PSVR back in 2017. But now there is a remake coming for PSVR2 and PC via steam. It's simply called Arizona Sunshine Remake and it just dropped today for PC and PSVR 1 (PS4) and 2 (PS5). Who here plans to pick this remake up?

Deathbound is a new Soulslike game, but in this game you can play with a party of people that you can switch to them whenever you want to. It's from the team at Trialforge Studio. This seems to be their biggest title yet, at least compared to their catalog of games available on Steam. You can find the game here on steam - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1277130/Deathbound/ It also looks to be available on Epic Games, GOG, PS5, and Xbox Series X.

The Analogue 3D is an upcoming 4K Nintendo 64, that can play the whole N64 catalog of games. This console works on the carts, so you can play the games you already know. The Analogue team is known for producing modern takes on retro consoles. They did it for the Gameboy with their Analogue Pocket handheld consoles. It was supposed to come out this year, but the date for release was pushed back into 2025. But since the delay, they have released images of the console, and it looks pretty decent. It has 4 controller slots like the N64 did. Pre-orders for the console open up on the 21st though, so you can pre-orders this as soon as next week, and you can do so here: https://store.analogue.co/products/analogue-3d-black It will cost you $249.99. A pretty heft price I'd say, but I think if you're an N64 fan, you might be interested in something like this.

Neva is a new action/adventure platformer from Devolver Digital that just released today. You may know them from making the popular game Gris. Check the trailer out below.

With the success of the Silent Hill 2 remake, it made me wonder if we'll end up seeing a Silent Hill 1 and 3 remake next? I think Konami will definitely work on some remakes going forward, and the Silent Hill series is likely to be picked over. I bet we'll end up seeing a remake of 3 before 1 and maybe even a remake of 4 at some point. Do you think the full series will get a remake? I know there are other Silent Hill games coming, but those are completely new games. Do you think we'll get remakes of some of the other Silent Hill games? Do you think we'll see remakes of Downpour or Homecoming? Maybe Shattered Memories?

Phoenix Springs is a new point and click adventure game where you play a tech journalist who is looking for her missing brother. If you're a fan of the old style LucasArts and Sierra games, you will probably like this game. It's currently available on Steam for PC, Mac and Linux. Check out the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1973310/Phoenix_Springs/

Check out this 2D side scroller where you can release your spirit to open areas of the world and find hidden items. It seems pretty basic, but looks like a relaxing game to jump into. And it's cheap at only $11.99 on Steam and Switch.

Source - https://www.ign.com/articles/forget-switch-2-nintendo-just-released-a-100-interactive-alarm-clock-called-alarmo This is actually kind of cool, Nintendo is releasing a $100 alarm clock called Alarmo that will release in early 2025. But, if you're a Nintendo Switch Online user in the US and Canada, you can purchase it right now on the Nintendo Shop. But it'll probably go fast, it's already sold out in Japan to where they have to do a lottery to pick the next set of buyers. You can buy it here - https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/nintendo-sound-clock-alarmo-121311/ Is this something you plan to buy? It reminds me of when they released the new Game and watch handhelds recently, the ones that worked like a clock too. This is hands down way cooler imo. What do you think about it?

If you guys know, the new Until Dawn remake just dropped on the 4th, and ever since Sony has decided to remove the original version that dropped for the PS4. It's alleged that in some regions the original version of Until Dawn is not available for purchase, meaning people are forced to pay for the new remake in order to experience it. Fans seem mixed on the new game too, some dealing with bugs, glitches and other problems. I've watched a comparison video of the original and the remake played together and it doesn't look all that much better. Sure the character models look awesome, but the environment and locations all look dark and boring in comparison to the original game. Colors look muted and lifeless. I honestly think the original looked better. What do you think though of studios releasing a remake and then removing the original game from purchase? Especially when the original was much cheaper and doesn't look all that much different. You can read more on this news here: https://www.videogamer.com/news/playstation-removes-og-until-dawn-from-sale/ What are your views on this? It reminds me of when Rockstar removed the original GTA games (III, Vice City, San Andreas) from marketplaces after they released the horrible GTA trilogy remaster. I think Sony owes it to fans to put the original version back up for sale.

Source - https://mp1st.com/news/wb-games-montreal-working-on-new-aaa-game-set-in-the-dc-universe It's being said that WB Games Montreal is working on a new AAA game in the DC Universe. I guess some job listings revealed the details that a game was in the works, but there is no details about what the game could be. I doubt it'll be a Batman game, but maybe we'll get something new, maybe a Flash game, or some other DC character. I hope it's not something like Superman or something. What do you think it could be? Though, it's by the same team that did Gotham Knights, so it might be a sequel to that for all we know.

Got some cool news to share, the developers of Alien: Isolation have announced that a sequel is in the works as we speak, it's currently in early development. The announcement was made on Twitter, and you can view it below. https://twitter.com/AlienIsolation/status/1843305291322200488 This was announced on the 10th anniversary of the game. Crazy to think it's been 10 years already.

Oh boy, Ubisoft is not having a good year. From their failing sales, layoffs and more. This time it's alleged that Ubisoft has been sharing personal data of Ubisoft users to Facebook Meta. This of course was not disclosed to users I guess and so the reasoning for this lawsuit. Two gamers who were subscribed to Ubisoft+ brought the lawsuit forward because they had no idea their info was being shared after a purchase. What happened was, they downloaded one game while they were logged into Facebook, and according to them, it shared their personal info to Meta through Pixel's tracking feature. So yeah, not a good look by Ubisoft. But it makes you wonder how much other info is shared between companies like this.

It's finally happening. Red Dead Redemption is finally getting an official PC release coming October 29th. This is a great late birthday present for me, as I've been hoping for a PC release forever now. Not only that, but it'll also come with Undead Nightmare, which should be an obvious choice anyway. But yeah, I am super happy it's happening. Are you going to pick it up? Read more about this news here - https://techraptor.net/gaming/news/red-dead-redemption-pc-release-date

Night Slashers, the popular beat 'em up from the early 90s is getting a remake. It dropped late last month for the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Series X. I imagine it could come out for the Switch, but I didn't see a Switch release. Who here has played this game? I guess it was in the arcades back in the day, sadly I never played it. But I'm tempted to check out the remake.

I didn't know this, but there might be an Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag remake coming soon. I guess it was teased not too long ago about a possible AC remake, and it seems Black Flag is getting the nod. And the cool thing is, it looks like it could be coming out sooner than we thought. I think the big reason why is due to Ubisoft's game Skull and Bones being an utter failure. Maybe they felt going back to Black Flag for the pirate adventures would be a good route to take. Check out the article below for more details on this. It sounds like we might get it in November of 2025. So a little over a year if so. Not bad. https://insider-gaming.com/black-flag-remake-release-date/

Selfloss is a new emotional exploration/adventure game from the people at Goodwin Games. It came out early September for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and Epic Games. It looks like an interesting game, who here has played it? Who wants to play it?

Source - https://insider-gaming.com/star-citizen-developer-cloud-imperium-games/ Ah great, pushing crunch on your employees to get ready for an event. Cloud Imperium Games recently sent out an email to their staff requiring their employees to work 7 days of work a week to meet a deadline before the Citizencon event happening October 19th. The email stated that staff needed to double down the next 18 days in order get a patch done including a showcase for a demo. I get having to work overtime, but to be pushed to work 7 days a week until your game is done seems like crunch to me. They should learn to schedule their work time better so that crunch isn't needed. An event planned out like this, shouldn't require a couple weeks of crunch to meet a deadline. What do you guys think of this? Will the studio back down on this and go back to a 5 day work week?

Little Big Adventure: Twinsen's Quest is a remake of the popular 1994 game Little Big Adventure. The game is being developed by Ben Limare of [2.21]. He is a big fan of the original game and was tasked with the helping produce the remastered version. Has anyone played that game? This is honestly the first I have ever heard of it. The game will release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X|S, Switch and PC November 14th. There will also be a limited edition physical release coming out for the PS5 and Switch on December 5th.

This game looks interesting, it's said to be a retro style horror game from the team at 13th Street. I definitely get Silent Hill vibes from the trailer, especially with the style of music. Check out the trailer below. It looks to be coming out for PC, but there's no release date at this time.

This needed to happen in the states, no worldwide, because once the PS5 pro 30th anniversary console went on pre-order, people scooped up the orders fast. If you look at eBay right now, you'll see a ton of people listing the console for a lot. But, it looks like Japan is taking a stab at stopping scalpers, by implementing conditions that you have to meet in order to get a pre-order in. Those are; Gamers must have a PSN account registered in Japan, and have at least 30 hours of PS4 or PS5 run time on the account between February 2014 and September 19, 2024. I saw this exact idea suggested in a reddit comment recently, and I don't know why they didn't do it for the states or other countries. If they had implemented a system like this, it would have stopped a lot of the scalpers, because lets face it, most of these scalpers probably don't even game, or if they do, I doubt they have multiple accounts they can use for this. My question, is why are they doing this specifically for Japan only? I figure this would have gone a lone way in the US, especially to stop the scalper problem.
