Samurai Shodown revival getting great reviews.
Although for some reason I can't fire it up on my PS4 until 1 this afternoon. That's when the timer ends unless it got fixed overnight. |

I think 2K has to shoulder part of the blame here. I mean, they no doubt know about other similar allegations about Pitchford, so I have to wonder what the fuck they were thinking to allow him to handle the money personally as opposed to, oh, I don't know, maybe the person directly below him in the Gearbox chain-of-command?

For those interested in Samurai Shodown, apparently SNK's free Season Pass offer isn't restricted to only those who buy the game before June 30th.

Mine was already bundled in when I purchased through the PS Store.
Yet, for some reason the Nakoruru retro outfit on the store was free through the season pass, but they wanted $2.99 for the Genjuro outfit. |

* Besides Tetris 99 on the Switch, The Tetris Company recently announced a new Tetris battle royale game called Tetris Royale is currently in development for mobile devices and arrives later this year.
https://tetris.com/article/213/n3two...r-mobile-devic * Based on a recent job posting, Square Enix is currently working on a new Dragon Quest game for next gen consoles. https://www.destructoid.com/square-e...e-559047.phtml * For those holding some slim hope that games would be cheaper on Google Stadia than on consoles, Stadia boss Phil Harrison stated that likely will not be the case when the service launches. Harrison did mention that game prices are entirely in the hands of publishers and they feel the service will be worth the full price for games. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...-google-stadia https://www.destructoid.com/google-d...s-559081.phtml |

* During a recent interview with Nikkei, Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan revealed that Sony is currently working on plans to purchase more gaming studios as a counter to Microsoft's recent studio purchasing spree.
https://www.destructoid.com/sony-int...n-559292.phtml * Based on Remedy Entertainment's recent investor's meeting, the company has gained back the rights to the Alan Wake series from Microsoft. As part of the deal, Remedy was paid a one-time royalties fee of €2.5 million from Microsoft for all of 2019 and in return, the rights to the series reverted back to the studio's ownership. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...lishing-rights |

If the game was just the Hank-Connor stuff, it arguably would have been David Cage's best game ever. The other two stories are not as good overall and start to fall apart in quality around mid-way depending on your choices, especially the Markus "Moses" stuff.

I mean, I'm thinking of giving it a chance, but I wouldn't be terribly surprised if I just "nope" it right back off my PS4 out of boredom before I see the story wraps.
I'd also heard tell that one of the voice actors' performances is pretty flat, but like I said, I suppose I can give it at least a fair chance. |

That's a sweet tribute for River City Ransom.
I know Arc System Works snatched up the Technos Japan IPs from Million. But if some of the key people still alive gave their blessing for this, then that's even better. |

Didn't help that when the former community manager of Hearthstone brought this up on Twitter, she got blocked by the game's current community manager.
Her main issue was the lack of effort or care by Activision & Blizzard to first hire back as much of their old staff as possible and former employees only finding out about this via outside reports. |

Nintendo recently confirmed rumors of a Switch Lite model is currently in production.
Unlike the regular Switch, the Lite model is portable-only, has an actual d-pad, and has a smaller screen size (5.5 vs. 6.2 inches). In terms of improvements, it weights around 1/4th less, has a stronger battery, and an upgraded chip design for performance boosts and less overheating. In terms of pricing, it will be $199.99 and launches on September 20th. https://www.nintendo.com/switch/compare/ https://www.destructoid.com/nintendo...s-560326.phtml |

Going to assume no unless whatever is causing those problems are Tegra chip related.
The Lite and new base model are using upgraded Tegra X1 chip designs for the incremental improvements. |
