Hard Drive, the comedy/satire gaming news site, is facing hard financial times. Has to turn to crowdfunding/Patreon.

Posting it here instead of the PS thread, since there are several multi-platform games in there, but notably this seems to confirm that the remakes of SH2 and MGS3 will arrive this year.

Oh yeah this reminded me that we’ve got Helldivers 2 coming early next month!

Feels like they should start some marketing for it now, its been a while since the last trailer! (And we still only have Bugs and Robots as confirmed factions. There’s still (at least) one more…

Also ooh yeah driving-survival game Pacific Drive is coming this year too :hushed:

I mean so far the only real exclusive is Demon Souls since we know God of War, Spider-Man 2, FF7 Remake Part 2 Electric Boogaloo, and that other FF game will inevitably go on PC.

TLOU 2 is slated for PC at some point too.

You know what has games Nintendo Switch.

Hey we do have Gran Turismo 7 too!

Ah who cares about racing games, right? Besides I understand not many people appreciate the series’ direction, but I still play the game daily. Can’t help with that. :yum:

Oh man… the Dead By Daylight devs just teased a new character addition: a flashlight, a gun, and a piece of paper. Old typewriter-style font: more info January 9…

My boy Alan Wake might get me back into DBD for the first time in a long while… :crossed_fingers:

I’m gonna go to bed and hope that this is just an error :frowning:

But as part of a PlayStation trailer during its CES 2024 press conference overnight, the company appeared to confirm a small delay. As part of a montage, the Arrowhead Studios developed outing was listed as ā€œavailable 28th February, 2024ā€.

I was just talking to Silvereyes about this game, and how it comes out in just one month!
Ughs, such a small delay so close to release is a little worrying, but I hope everything still turns out okay.

(Also! Today, Playstation finally posted a new clip of HD2, finally ramping up the promotion for the game, exactly one month away. That feels very ā€œcorporate dealā€ of the company, so I can’t imagine they’d start that promo only to delay the game a few hours later…)

I wasn’t interested in this anyway, but now? Yikes. And I’m still fearing for it’s potential playerbase at launch.

In terms of the content in the game, this makes up about 0.01% or even less, but we have dabbled in it by creating these icons in the game

It is 0.01%, but no. Just no. Please don’t.

The only way I could be less shocked was if I was vulcanised and then rigorously grounded.

He’s not wrong. Eventually no one will remember when you even could actually own a copy of a game. Everyone will be ā€œcomfortableā€ with it because there won’t be an alternative. I own physical copies of some stuff I played decades ago and I have no way to play those anymore. Either the computer got too fast, or the operating system no longer supports it, or the CD just got too scratched, or the manual with the installation code is gone. Some of them I simply have no interest in playing anymore.

As long as publishers are content with this type of delivery model, that’s how it’s going to be.

Sigh. There’s just no getting away from this fake AI crap is there?
