I’m honestly sorry for all the developers that Microsoft acquired in their buying spree around before and during 2020.

I think Lemmy users are more probable to skip Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo events than most, since 99% of the userbase of this site is a Steam addict.
- Comment on Wonky witch fable 1666: Amsterdam is the kind of sexy nonsense I want from Assassin's Creed: Hexe 1 week ago:
I remember what AC was like, I played it (and liked it a lot more than what it is now).
I think it’s unnecessary because (a) this game is nothing like AC, at least from the demo we’ve been shown, and (b) just because a guy worked on a game twenty years ago, doesn’t mean that all of his following games will be the same.
“From a former AC dev” is just a marketing pitch; the writer took that and ran with it for a cheap article. “You play as multiple characters in this game. It reminds me of AC”. Like, sure, I can see the similarities in playing a character, following by that character’s ancestors, but that’s where the similarities end with AC, and the article never spells out clearly why this game is what Hexe should be.
- Comment on Wonky witch fable 1666: Amsterdam is the kind of sexy nonsense I want from Assassin's Creed: Hexe 1 week ago:
The game itself is not supposed to be AC, the writer is making unnecessary comparisons.
That being said, I’m a big fan of cozy story-driven games, and this one was bad even by those standards.
- Comment on Wonky witch fable 1666: Amsterdam is the kind of sexy nonsense I want from Assassin's Creed: Hexe 1 week ago:
I played the demo and it was terrible.
Bad dialogue, horrible walking animations (especially when they let you move two characters side by side), and literally zero gameplay. No kidding: I extracted magic from an animal carcass to light some torches, chose a cat familiar among a group of half a dozen identical cats, walked in a library looking for some books (“Hi! I’m the director of this library. No, I don’t know where this book is, maybe you can look over there?”), then walked some more, then I was a cat, then the demo was over.
Is this really what people want from Assassin’s Creed?

Boring? I rewatch the legendary Sony 2006 E3 at least once a month!
Riiiiiiidge Racer! :D
- Comment on Spyro™: A Realm Beyond | Cinematic Announce Trailer 1 week ago:
Very curious to see how the free flight changes the game design. Of all classic platformers, I feel Spyro is the best suited to turn into a sort of open world exploration game (and I say this as someone who absolutely despises open world games).
- Comment on Resident Evil – Code: Veronica | World Premiere Trailer 2 weeks ago:
Umbrella operatives all wear the same uniform.
There’s a possibility of Hunk being in the game (the original Code Veronica had a file in which you discover that Hunk trained, as well as worked recently in, the game’s setting; they might expand on that for this game), but this is probably Juan, the guy from the beginning of the OG Code Veronica.

Thanks! Yeah, I grew up with Ace Combat and it’s my favourite series ever, so it’s the perfect gift for me :D

A lot of things that got announced will be playable on other consoles and on PC as well. I got Ace Combat to look forward to. It releases on my birthday as well!
- Comment on Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve - Release Date Trailer 2 weeks ago:
They clearly bought a lot of inspiration from Project Wingman, and I’m all in for it.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Don’t worry, the devs will crunch for a few days around release so that they can put out a new trailer with a new promised release date.

- Comment on Valve raises Steam Deck prices by more than $200 3 weeks ago:
Europe: 512GB OLED went from €
569to €779 (+€210, +37%), and 1TB OLED from €679to €919 (+€240, +35%).I really like the Deck, but I wouldn’t recommend it at these prices, and the price increase is just bonkers even for the crazy times we live in.
- Comment on Phonopolis Review: Cardboard and constructivism collide in Amanita Design’s masterful marriage of story, puzzles, and hand-crafted aesthetic in Phonopolis. 3 weeks ago:
I remember playing Amanita games when I was younger. They never strayed from their niche target audience, so it’s very cool seeing them still releasing bangers all these years later.

Psygnosis the PS1
That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while!
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
I wasn’t expecting another one so soon, after the long wait between TTP1 and TTP2!
I’ll absolutely buy it as soon as possible. TTP1 is my favourite puzzle game, and even if TTP2 was a bit of a letdown, I still had lots of fun with its puzzles.
- Comment on Sony hasn't decided on PS6 release date or price yet, and may even "change business models" in response to the memory crisis 1 month ago:
Reading this heading immediately following "Sony and Bandai Namco announce generative AI collaboration to find how the tech can “effectively contribute to realising a creator’s vision” must be one of the most unintentionally funny moments of my week.

I spent an ungodly amount of time on this game when it released. Just watching a few screenshots is so nostalgic.

- Comment on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update - Xbox Wire 1 month ago:
That was their plan all along. They tried to double the price of Gold and received a huge backlash, so they walked the change back, and then merged Gold with GamePass to raise the price again without people noticing. I don’t think there’s a chance of them going back to the old price point.
- Comment on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate Price Update - Xbox Wire 1 month ago:
I wasn’t shitting on the price going down. I was shitting on Microsoft. Give it some time, they’ll attempt another price increase. GP has had five price changes in seven years, I wouldn’t bet on this one being the last.

- Comment on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Director Says It Did Gay Romance "Right" By Not Going "Woke" 2 months ago:
I can confirm. I played the gay romance in KCD2 and the penises never touched for the entirety of the playthrough. Thanks to this, I was finally able to play a gay character that felt authentic to real life and, more importantly, I didn’t turn gay myself.
To make sure of that, I replayed the game three more times, always choosing the gay option. Lo and behold, I’m still very, very straight. In fact, it worked like a vaccine: now I can watch gay porn without it having an effect on my sexuality (I’m super duper straight! I only watched gay porn to MAKE SURE that I was still straight).
Bravo Daniel.

You might be interested in the USB hack. It’s got really good, easy to perform and quite reliable in the past few months.

So hyped for this one.
- Comment on What to Play (and Watch) While Waiting for Forza Horizon 6 (my article!) 2 months ago:
I really wish I could be hyped for FH6, but I doubt the bland corporate-approved Horizon series will do justice to the cool Japanese racing aesthetic. Part of the fun, IMO, is the thrill of night-time illegal races with cheap sportscars.
Your other recommendations rock, though! I’m not a huge fun of the F&F series but I like the first few movies, and Initial D is a lot of fun. I’m going through the manga and I’m in love with the aesthetic.
I’ll also add an OG recommendation here: Racing Lagoon. It’s an old Square Soft PS1 racing RPG (a rather unique blend) that released exclusively in Japan, but has received a fanmade translation a few years ago. It’s really dumb, but it’s fun.

It’s gay as in, “cheerful”.
You must be miserable at all times while playing it.
- Comment on "Palworld is going to be the survival crafting game everyone always wanted" and "people will be shocked" at how big 1.0 is, says Pocketpair publishing lead 2 months ago:
Quit rewarding creative bankruptcy.
Nintendo sucks. Pokémon can fall off a cliff for all I care. Palworld is a tired asset flip.
There are tons of unique monster collectors out there that try to do their own thing without stealing other people’s work. Again, if they pulled that shit with anything else, it wouldn’t fly. You collectively decide it’s ok because Nintendo bad.

I don’t want to dispute anything you said, but it doesn’t disprove my point, either.
Palworld may or may not have forced Pokemon to be better. Their artstyle is still Unreal Engine asset-flip slop.
