randombs spotted this, but how mint does this look? Apparently if they sell 100K copies, they'll do a release on the Saturn!

Me parking in John Lewis carpark at last day of summer hols and still not got the school uniforms. This is the backstory to the game now.

Did you attend sixth form, as logically you’d have to to be driving to John Lewis in the Saturn era?

Maybe I’m over thinking it.

Anyway game looks interesting and fell like buying just to make them commit to the Saturn release!

The uniforms are for his kids, paradigm!

The kids were at home, playing Driver's car park tutorial on their PlayStation.

Listened to the whole of this yesterday; there's a bunch of red flags (mainly around old-head elitism and the whims of Peter Molyneux) but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly jealous of some of the stories and the original Bullfrog ethos of just trying to do new things and being able to independently iterate on concepts until they were happy with where they landed.

More Firefight maps for Halo Infinite. Yay. Love Reach. Rate HI FF. Should refresh the grind to Hero somewhat.

" The hills in Firefight: King of the Hill have moved to a new location. Reach, to be exact.

The latest update to the map pool for Firefight will have you battling the Banished on the familiar territory that is Halo: Reach maps. (Okay and one that’s technically a Halo 2 map remade in Halo: CEA in Halo: Reach.) From the beaches of Gyre to the Ardent Prayer, drop in and get ready to make a stand."

Oof sucks to be a PS5 owner, they screwed up monumentally. How the hell does the game code not get checked before it's sent off to the press plant so the PS5 version is missing the DLC and most of the patches. Thankfully switch version didn't suffer the same fate.

and all 24 people will be getting refunds. Nice.

In a weird way, it's good that Sony got burnt hard with this release. I feel a bit bad for them as obviously a lot of talent went into the look and from what I played, it deffo played like a hero shooter, but yeah we all knew that this wasn't the move.

Helldivers 2 worked out though. What were the ingredients for that success? Third person, not-too-serious, PvE co-op shooter. Use this premise with for socom next please.

Whoa, it's that bad? I mean, not the game itself, everything around the game in general.

I think they thought people paid for Helldivers 2, so they will pay 30 notes for this. As no one was going nuts for this during the beta that should maybe have been a sign that to entice players it would probably need to be free to play.

I think for this even free to play would not have done much, the beta had a free period and seemingly was hardly played then to
