Basing the gameplay on tag team combos and not having any online co-op is a giant fucking L.

Pretty much gave up on redfall. At it's very best, it's no better than average.
Microsoft has had so many fails lately that when they do get a win (hi-fi rush) no one even notices. Starfield can't just be a home run. It has to be a grand slam. |

Today's News:
* Add the EU Commission to growing list of government agencies that have given or hinted their approval for Micorsoft's attempted purchase on Activision Blizzard. Similar to others, the EU Commission did not believe that MS' ownership of AB would give them monopolistic power in the gaming industry but also similar to others, they did have concerns over the impact it would have on the cloud gaming market. MS managed to resolve that issue by offering a 10-year deal as a concession for all European Economic Area (EEA) gamers to play “all current and future Activision Blizzard PC and console games” via a cloud service of their choice. This deal for the cloud gaming market will also apply globally as well. Link: https://www.destructoid.com/eu-commi...vision-merger/ * In some somber news, the original voice actor of Crash Bandicoot, Brendan O’Brien, passed away on March 23rd at the age of 60. The reason for the delay between his passing and it becoming public was not given but likely was just due to family privacy-related reasons. Quote:

I thought Ubisoft's plan was to dump more resources into Assassins' Creed. 2025 seems more realistic unless LucasArts strolls in for a visit says they want it done now.

Some cool looking new ips. Great to see gameplay for DD 2 ans Spider-man. Overall though, it wasn't an amazing showcase. Only big announcement was MGS 3 which we knew was coming.
If xbox had a bunch of big games under wraps, now would be the time to unveil them. |

Capcom recently released a new survey asking fans which game in the Resident Evil series should be the next to get the remake treatment.
This question did not have any games listed as choices to select from and instead was entirely left up to the person to fill in the game name as their choice in a blank text box. Quote:
