Gaming News So Small It Gets a Second Thread

Deadly Premonition 2 now out on PC , from reading the steam reviews

Good news... better framerate

Bad news
A port so barebones there are no graphics options (i think it might at least do resolution outside the game) and it's controller only.

Only got a few hours into the switch game, beat the first boss and never went back, just couldn't get along with the frame-rate and the skateboarding.

Varvarion got a new trailer in the smaller showcases today, improvements on the animation from last year debut. Just something about the way it looks and moves just stands out to me, like it's calling out some kind of PS2/Dreamcast era nostalgia. Nothing about the platform or release still.

Exoprimal looks pretty fun, assuming it's not a GAAS, which it probably is.

RE Village is getting a DLC were you play as Rose. It also comes with some extra modes like play as the bosses.
It seems you can play the game in 3rd person too if you want.
Out 28/10.

That Exo-Primal thing looks like they half thought about doing a new Lost Planet and then thought, nah.

The REVIIIage DLC thing was interesting more so because despite the sales figures for RE7 and RE8 it felt like an admission third person remains the series future and best form

Yeah, that T-Rex Vs. Mechs (T-Mechs?) looks pretty sweet and taps into what I love about Capcom and how it's a bit bonkers at times.

However, I'm concerned it's just a case of playing the same levels on repeat against other teams.

Grim, grim, grim scenes regarding Saudi Arabia's growing hand in games companies.

It's just a chunk of the industry deciding they have no scruples, but then that shouldn't surprise anyone.

Saudi Arabia own 5% of practically everything though. There's no point beating yourself up about buying a Metal Slug compilation when they also own 5% of the coffee you're drinking, the Uber you came home in, the plane you'll fly in on holiday, the gas company heating your house.

There's the whole "no ethical consumption under capitalism" thing, but with things like videogames and anime being luxury products, I've found those a bit easier to manage. I haven't bought anything by SNK since the Saudi investment started. But I wouldn't judge anyone for doing so; I'm sure if people went through my cupboard they'd castigate me for having Nestle-something-or-other.

The head of Playground Games said he pitched a reboot (same gen so presumably it would still pretty much be) Project Gotham Racing 5 but MS was immediately cold on the idea. To salvage the meeting he asked about expanding Forza and the concept for Horizon was hashed out there and then

I'm sure if people went through my cupboard they'd castigate me for having Nestle-something-or-other.

I'd love to see Blobcat's face as she walks in on me frantically rifling through the kitchen cupboards searching for an incriminating carton of Nesquik.

You wouldn't find that; hate the stuff. I swear it tasted better in the 90s.

Yeah, but everyone has a tub of Nequik at the back of the cupboard from the 90s!
