2019 was the year of the first Quest VR headset release and unfortunately it looks like Meta is deciding to cut support for the device soon. It will still get security updates and all that up until 2024, but the device will no longer get compatibility updates and all that. You also wont be able to take advantage of the Meta Horizon home any longer. So really you can play games you already own, but any future ones may not work properly. As well, it's rumored the Quest 3 is coming sometime this year, so there's that too. https://www.destructoid.com/meta-ending-support-quest-1-vr-headset/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=meta-ending-support-quest-1-vr-headset

Super Mario Bros. WWE Smackdown games (around here comes the pain/SD Vs Raw) Metal Gear Solid Red Dead Redemption Call of Duty Grand Theft Auto Batman (Arkham Series/Original NES game) and more I'm probably forgetting about.

Probably Silent Hill 2. Even though I think I could finish it, the atmosphere and the tank controls really make it a tough sell for me. I don't like tight controls that can get you into trouble, so most horror games back in the day I didn't even touch. But Silent Hill 2 was just so cool, so I had to try it. I got somewhat far, but didn't play it too long haha. I knew once I hit a boss I'd get annoyed and give up.

It's going to increase in popularity in the coming years. It's already blown up as of late because of how popular competitive gaming has gotten over the years. People like to watch others game, especially gamers who are good, because lets face it, a lot of us are not nearly as good as some of the pro gamers out there, and it's kinda fun seeing them wreck teams with ease sometimes. But yeah, expect it to grow even more in popularity, especially when more multiplayer games come out that are probably made specifically to be played competitively.

Game mods bring new life to long dormant games. Like old multiplayer games like Battlefield 2, or Battlefield 1942, which has a small community of gamers with their own servers and game nights. They also make mods for the games and make new mods to keep the game fresh for a new generation. And of course, they make popular games more fun, and add loads more to do, depending on the game and if they allow it of course. But yeah, modding is huge, and if we didn't have people modding games, we wouldn't see some of the biggest games, because I'm sure a lot of the developers who work on your favorite games, got started in modding games and other such things, so that's a cool thing to keep in mind. :)

Social media has made it so much more easier to reach friends and make new ones, especially for gaming. It's easy to connect with people while online gaming. Much easier than it was in the past. You can find online groups all over the place, from Facebook to twitter, discord and more. Social media has opened up the world to each other when it comes to gaming. And on top of streamers coming in and increasing its popularity even more.

Not really no. I rarely have headaches, and when I do it's usually out of the blue. It could be from me looking at a PC screen most of the day, or not doing much that day. Or not eating properly, drinking enough water, etc. For the most part, it's rare that I ever have one, and usually it's not unbearable, just a maybe 1-2 out of 10 on the pain scale.

A remake is likely what we'll end up getting, and I'm kinda okay with that. I don't trust them enough to continue the story without Kojima, but if they can remaster/remake the full series, that'd be dope. Be even cooler if they start from the very beginning with the NES game and then moved on to MGS1, MGS2, 3 and 4 and I think end it there. Probably no need to remake 5. I wouldn't trust Konami to make a new MGS without Kojima, it just wouldn't feel right. It'd feel like Season 4 of Community when Dan Harmon was kicked off the show for a season, it will be okay-ish, but won't feel the same at all.

What I want to see with AI is how we're using it as of late. If AI is getting so advanced these days, I'd like to see the AI we're using now, implemented in video games in some way. We already have AI in gaming, but I feel like with the advancements that we've made recently with AI, it could add some interesting scenarios to our video games. But, I could also see it making games harder, or challenging in other ways.

The Xbox still would have come out whether Sega released a new console or not. I feel they would have jumped in at some point. Anyway, I don't think Sega could compete at the time. They had two failed consoles in a row on their hand, and things weren't getting better. I doubt them shipping out a third console would have saved them. If anything it probably could have killed them outright. Three failures wouldn't look good. So I think it was right of Sega to move their work to publishing/developing games instead of making consoles. If anything, I think they should have put more time into making handhelds. Their handhelds were popular and I am willing to bet if they shifted to a more mobile market, they could have at least stuck somewhat in the hardware market. And hey, they are kinda back with their classic consoles. So maybe that will interest them in making a new console one of these days.

Microsoft has been working on a VR headset for a while now, yet nothing new has come of it in recent memory. Do you think that Xbox players will ever get their own VR headset to enjoy? Or maybe even support for current VR headsets at the very least? I don't see why they couldn't add support for current gen VR headsets to work on the Series X/S at least. If the PS4/PS5 can do VR with their own headsets, I'm sure the new Xbox consoles can work with current VR headsets like the Oculus Quest 2, Vive, and whatever other ones out there. At this point, they should really try to jump into the VR game, or support other VR headsets if they don't plan on doing it themselves anytime soon.

Oh man, I couldn't tell you what I have off the top of my head, but I know I have a lot of the stuff listed. A while back I was using tiktok videos to help me find certain items on the map, like the masks, trinkets and all that. I'm sure there's a lot more I need to find. I have a lot of the melee weapons, hats, as well. I know you open some items from hunting and delivering furs/animals to the trapper and the fences. I haven't played RDR2 in a month or so now. Still have to get back to it to finish the final bits of the game. I want to collect as much as I can before the end though.

Not sure, but I'm going to guess around $80-$100 or so. I know the Xbox adaptive controller was around $100 if I remember correctly, so I hope it's not too much more. I wonder if this could be classified as a medical aid or aid device, and maybe it can be covered by some health insurance. I'm doubful on that, but it can't hurt to look into. As well, maybe there are services out there that rent these out to those in need or even provide them at a discount price.

Anyone picking this MMO when it comes out? I haven't heard a whole lot about it, but I guess it's been split when it comes to this game and its future release. I hear they've been having issues completing the game and got some hate for asking for volunteers to help finish development. This new trailer shows off RTX in action. It looks pretty decent, but fans seem to still be worried about whether this game can deliver on the promises the devs have dished out.

Some new details on AEW Fight Forever can be found via the link below: https://thegamebutler.com/2023/01/05/aew-fight-forever-preview/ Includes new screenshots and a video you can see below. Honestly this game is shaping up to be something special. I hope it brings me back to my childhood of playing WWF No Mercy. I miss those days.

That's kinda cool, does look very similar to PS1 graphics. I'm actually kinda tempted to play it this way. But idk how long my eyes can handle those old style of graphics. My eyes don't do so well with graphics from the PS1/N64 era.

A little update to this news, looks like there's more to the story. Yuji Naka, has since been charged with insider trading for Illegally Trading Over $1 Million In Final Fantasy Stock. Link below with more details: https://kotaku.com/sonic-square-enix-final-fantasy-dragon-quest-stock-1849935301 The total comes out close to around $1,080,000.

Source- https://www.wired.com/story/sony-releases-first-accessible-controller-project-leonardo/ It's good to see more accessible controllers made, especially since there are many gamers with disabilities, and they make due with what they have now. Now imagine the options they will have with a controller like this. I hope we see more of these controllers made. Gaming is for everyone. It's said to be a fully customizable controller, and is called Project Leonardo. Here's what it looks taken apart with all the different options available. I imagine something like this would cost upwards of $100+. Much like Xbox's accessible controller they released a few years back.

I had no idea Sony was making a Gran Turismo game based on the popular franchise of video games with the same name. The movie is going to star David Harbour (of Stranger Things fame) and Orlando Bloom, who was in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and a few others. I'm willing to check this out, but I'm not sure if we're going to get a good movie out of this. But, we'll see.

lol now Microsoft is saying they didn't know when COD started, or first came out. And they also said they don't know why COD is such a special franchise. You can read that here - https://tech.hindustantimes.com/tech/news/microsoft-claims-to-have-no-idea-why-call-of-duty-franchise-is-special-71672767803456.html I think the sale is going to happen eventually. This is just a temporary stop to keep them from creating a monopoly. But I think at some point, Microsoft deep pockets will get them their win.

I think my PC could handle playing a couple games at a single time but I wouldn't dare try it. Has anyone here ever played two games on their PC at a time? And if so, did it work fine? I assume smaller games would play fine, but any games that take up a lot of your card, will probably not allow for much of anything else to be played. If you have a powerful PC, have you ever tried to play two games at once? Maybe even by mistake, like maybe you forgot to close out of fortnite and booted up another game. A friend of mine has done that a few times haha.

Wait, the TLOU2 has an 8-bit graphic mode? I knew they had accessibility options built in, but I had no idea they offered an 8-bit mode, that's actually pretty cool. Is there any videos of it in action? I saw some of the accessibility options for blind and those who have bad eyesight. Does it make it look like a PS1 game? If so I kinda want to try that out.

I downloaded it from Gamepass a while back, played maybe 30 minutes to an hour and then never touched it again. It's a fun game, I just didn't feel invested in it like I had hoped. Eventually I will come back to it and give it another go, but for now I just don't have any interest in playing it.

Never owned a Vita or PSP, but wanted to have both of them so bad. If I could own both, I would. I see they're fairly cheap on ebay these days, so maybe I'll bite. If I get one, I'll probably get the newest models they made, for both handheld respectively. I wouldn't mind modding it to play emulators as well. I hear a lot of people do that with the PSP and Vita.

Can't go wrong with a classic. San Andreas tv spot with Gun's N' Roses Welcome to the Jungle playing, Iconic! :) I remember watching this trailer as a kid in preparation for the game to drop.
