Yeah a new IP would be great. I'm sure they have some ideas for new games in the pipeline. Naughty Dog isn't going to take a break anytime soon. I think we'll eventually get a TLOU 3, but that may be a while off yet. I think Neil Druckman is working on a new IP if I remember correctly. So maybe we'll hear more about that soon.

I do remember hearing when the game originally came out that it got mediocre to okay reviews, nothing special. But I think the Deadpool movies kinda brought the game back from the dead, and if anything helped bring out the remastered version. I have yet to play it myself, but have been considering buying it to see how it plays. I think the main selling point for this game is the humor though, and from what I saw of the game, it is full of Deadpool style humor.

Please play Watch Dogs 2. I prefer it over the first game, mainly because I enjoyed the story, the characters and the setting. Also the parkour style movement was awesome, and helped make the game more enjoyable for me. Lets just say, it was fast paced and I liked that aspect about it. Plus the hacking aspects were even better than the first game. Legion I can't comment on yet, but I think it just came down to being an underwhelming sequel. I hope they figure things out for a future sequel.

Seems to be so, especially with all of these AI services popping up. I know people have attempted to make stories with AI, and even create game code with AI, so the future for AI is pretty bright. Only issue is how much AI will be used and if any of what is used for the AI is copyrighted or not. That's one big thing I worry about with AI is if it steals peoples content to create more content. And yeah, I don't see AI being that good to make something like a triple A game, but maybe one day we'll get close.

Last I remember hearing anything about it, was back when H3H3 and his wife got character models added to the game as DLC. I think that was back in like 2016, so it's been a hell of a long time since I heard PayDay 2 anything. Yeah I think they dropped support for the game a few years ago. I don't know how much of a following the game still has, but I imagine there are people still rocking it to this day.

Fox News has always said dumb shit about video games and how they cause violence or that it's a waste of time. I never take what Fox News says seriously, because they can't be bothered to do any research into the BS they spew about video games. I've seen many reports on Fox news about how video games are bad for our youth or bad in general. If they can't take the time to do any research, then I say ignore them. What I hate the most, is how they try to pair video games with these school shootings and other shootings in general. It's just a joke at this point with how the media likes to point fingers at video games as being these things that teach kids to be violent.

True, but with EA, there's a lot of franchises that they kinda forgot about. From the SSX games coming to mind right away. Fight Night is a franchise I thought would stick around for a long time. It is due for a new game for sure, but I don't think it'll ever happen.

I call BS on that considering split screen has been a thing since forever now. I think it's more to do with studios just not wanting to bother with it anymore. Like Killamch89 said below, it's the fact that most people don't utilize the feature anymore and that's most likely why studios don't support the feature as much anymore. True, it's not a feature that is used all that often anymore, but there are people who still like split screen gaming. I'm sure developers can figure out a solution to keep it in some games.

The Guardians of the Galaxy game is not a live service game, it's a linear single player game. I don't think the game even has a multiplayer mode or microtransactions. Then again I only played about a couple hours into the game, so I don't know if they have microtransactions or not. But yeah, not a live service game.

I remember when Payday 2 came out. I remember how it had this popularity spike when it first came out, and then it kinda went dark after a while. Do people still play Payday 2? Or is the game no longer that active? I feel like it's probably time for them to finally make a sequel. Do you agree? Or would you rather they keep focussing their time on Payday 2?

Not much news to share on the Intellivision Amico, aside from the fact that it looks like the project has been abandoned or isn't going to happen. There was a whole lot of crazy stuff going on with the production, from the team allegedly lying about the consoles abilities, how the controllers worked and so on. Do you guys think this console could still release? And even if it did, would it even succeed with what we already have on the market? This article below discusses what's been going on. Doesn't seem like much is happening, especially since one of the leaders behind it, Tommy Tallarico peaced out from the project back in 2021, and that's where it mostly stopped. You can read more about this here - https://thegamebutler.com/2023/01/25/so-is-the-intellivision-amico-dead-or-what/ Do you think it's safe to say this console is never going to be on store shelves?

I know there are some movies, tv, music and even games that utilize AI to help with production and to help in other ways. But what if a game was made solely from AI, from the coding aspect to the story, everything. I know at this point and time it's probably not very likely AI can create its own game. I mean, I'm sure it could, but it'll probably turn out to be a jumbled mess. But I am curious to see what AI does with coding. I don't think something made with AI on its own will be good, but I can see more people utilizing AI to help perfect their creations in some ways. Anyway, do you think we'll ever see a game that's all made by AI? Do you think it would work as a game? Would it take coding from other games to make its own game? There's so much AI can do and so little we know it's capable of. AI is weird.

Looks like the game is getting favorable to great reviews across the board. Seems to be a mostly faithful recreation of the original game. The lowest I've seen so far is a 7/10, most reviews I see are 8s and 9s, or 4 out of 5 rating. I never got very far in the original game, maybe I'll pick the remake up and see how different and better it is.

Watch Dogs: Legion was the most recent game in the franchise, but sadly it didn't live up to the hype brought on from Watch Dogs 2, which I still am a big fan of and may revisit one of these days. Anyway, I have yet to play Legion, but I hear fans weren't too pleased about it and it kinda just got forgotten, at least that's how I feel. You don't really ever hear anything about it, it's almost like fans have lost interest in it. I thought the idea behind the game was cool, to be able to play any person in the world, recruit them etc. And the permadeath option was a cool idea as well. Legion from what I can see, looks to have been a letdown for fans and the studio as well. I don't think it sold well either. Anyway, what do you think they'll do for a sequel? Will they fix the mistakes they made with Legion? Or will they go deeper into that idea and maybe expand on it with new ideas? If they went back to the way Watch Dogs 2 was, I think it'll turn out fine. What do you think?

I'm assuming the big reason why is because Disney now owns it, I wonder if Activision and High Moon Studios still have a claim to it anymore. I know they made a remastered version of the video game back in 2016 I think, and that's been it ever since. Would you like to see another Deadpool game? I'm for sure welcoming to the idea, especially with the increased popularity Deadpool has received in recent years due to the movies and the game too. Who even has the rights to make a Deadpool game anymore? Is it High Moon Studios and Activision? Or is it reverted back to Disney?

Yup, today. Also dropping for the Switch tool. Sadly, it looks like the Xbox version doesn't come with online multiplayer, but the switch version does. If that is true, then I think the best version you could get would be on the Switch. https://www.theloadout.com/goldeneye-007/xbox-no-online-multiplayer

So I didn't even know this already happened. I booted up my Xbox One the other day and was greeted with a screen directing me to this show, but I didn't know it aired soon after. I thought they had planned to air it in the next week, but I guess not. Anyway, this new Xbox Developer Direct can be viewed below. It's a 39min video, but there is another hour long stream from gamestop as well, but I wasn't sure if I should post that one or the shortened one. The one I'm posting is of the full conference according to the description. I'll list the other video too just in case. I haven't watched it yet myself, but hope to check it out later today when I have some free time. And the hour+ stream also features the ESO Global Reveal.

You could build a raspberry pi and add RetroPie and emulation station. The raspberry pi and the rest of what you need should go for less than $100. If you want more space or ram, I believe you can pay more for a better board. But it's the cheapest way to build and emulation box or device. A raspberry pi is essentially a compact PC, that you can buy. You can use it like a real PC if you want as well. Usually it's sold as just a board. You will need to buy or build your own case, and buy a power chord, mouse, keyboard etc. It's really fun to build but is great to use as a PC. I had two SD cards, one with an OS, to surf the web and such. And I also had another SD card with the emulators on it. I just switched them out whenever I wanted to play or surf the web.

Doesn't the PS5 open up kinda easily so that people can clean it easier? Or am I thinking of another console? Wish consoles made it easy to clean, but they make it so hard to do so because you can't open consoles without breaking the warranty seal. So you are stuck with the can of air option, but even so, you're just blowing dust further into the device too. I should dust my Xbox one for example, but I should open it up to clean it. But I don't know if I'd dare open up my Xbox one. I don't want to end up breaking it.

Yeah I would never buy from a scalper. I hate how they think they're smart in what they do. They just hurt the market and waste people's time. If I was rich, I still wouldn't bother paying a scalper. I'd just keep looking for a store that might have it. Otherwise I'll wait.

A lot of people play just a handful of games over and over. I used to do it a lot with retro gaming. But lately haven't as much. I rarely play most of the games in my steam library. I have many that I haven't even played yet.

Looks like my original link had a typo. Because everywhere else states he plead not guilty to the charges. I'm assuming a typo or they forgot to add 'not' in the quote. CBS and Time both say he plead not guilty. I must've grabbed the wrong link after I saw it reported on Facebook. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/justin-roiland-rick-and-morty-adult-swim-cuts-ties-following-domestic-violence-charges/ https://time.com/6248022/justin-roiland-rick-and-morty-charges/ Still though, doesn't mean he didn't do it, just that he's denying the allegations. I wonder if the full story will ever come out. I don't think they said exactly what he did aside from just saying false imprisonment by menace or something along those lines . Did he keep a woman there against her will? That's what I'm seeing with the charges he got. Also heard he liked to text underage girls a lot. But haven't looked much into those allegations yet.

Yeah, let it end at a good point and let it rest. I think one day we could see Uncharted come back, but maybe after a 10-20 year break. I can see that being an acceptable time to revisit it. Or maybe a spin-off of sorts. But yeah, I think it's best to let something end in a good or even perfect manner instead of letting it run for too long either. Sometimes things stick around too long and it hurts the overall popularity of it.

Yup, that's the one I was thinking of. I think the next game that studio made was eventually taken down by Sony, and I think they're starting to take these types of games off, or they're not going to promote them anymore without first looking into it. Crazy that it even got a trailer on Sony's channel. This was literally a nothing game. I still don't get how Sony was dumb enough to promote it.

Yeah I'm reserving my judgement until I get the full story too. Roiland has please not guilty to the charges, so maybe there's something he has that will prove his side correct. If all the allegations are false, he could come back to Rick and Morty and his game studio I imagine. But I think he's for now, moving away from his projects to distance himself, and to not hurt the franchises he worked on. But if all of what happened is proven true, his career is probably over. Unless he makes some comeback on another platform later. I don't see him ever coming back from this if proven true.
