As me and all my XCOM homies begin our 8th year of waiting for XCOM 3, Take-Two decides to defile the corpse of our franchise with a mobile gacha game.

Auto-completing the game before you can ever play it is probably the best feature this game could possibly have.

Absolutely insane that this, kinda, single-player-available, story-based live service can be completely shut down due to no servers.
Sidenote: Iâm seeing on twitter that a lot of dumb people are up in arms about the fate of Batman when uh the aim of the game is literally to kill the Justice League⌠
(âThis is a terrible sendoff!â Jeez, people acting like Rocksteady knew or even caused Kevin Conroyâs death or something wtf)

Batman fans hate it when something, literally anything, will make Bruce look even the tiniest bit like the vulnerable, fallible and flawed person he really is. I blame Kevlar for completely ruining Batman in the current day. Instead we should be getting up in arms about the fates of the other heroes instead.
Most Gamers are morons, Conroy didnât seem to mind otherwise he wouldnât have done it. This is the same man that voice the version of Batman that boinked Batgirl for crying out loud.

40 minutes , 15+ Games including Stellar Blade , Rise of The Ronin.Sounds promising with rumors of Ken Levineâs âJudasâ game getting an update too !!!
P.S. I really doubt it , but if we see a new trailer of Project 007 I will be very excited !!!

Given context now and how Conroy kept his battle with cancer virtually private it makes more sense on why Conroy would want to do this job. I think it would be all the more tragic if we didnât get one last performance from Conroy that wasnât a CW show.
Thereâs a lot of context the viewer hasnât seen in regards to this game and whatâs been shown is very selective.
Also and to be fair Batman porking Barbara wasâŚahem⌠not the best creative decision when it came to the animated movie adaptation of one of the most beloved Batman stories. Like every other Batman story that used The Killing Joke as part of its lore they usually donât incorporate the nuances that are in that story that make it cherished to begin with.
When it comes to the fate of Arkham Batman I do think the fandom blow things out of proportion when this is the same Batman weâve only known for three nights seven if you count Origins, itâs spinoff, and the Cold Cold Heart DLC. This is the same Batman who is confirmed to have been active for more than a decade yet we know so very little about him.

No but it still is far from the worse, in fact it is still not the worse Bruce Timm decision either.
Story of his career.

A guy who correctly predicted the September State of Play has said that we could see a remaster of Sonic Generations announced at this State of Play. That would be good, although not really that essential in my view, there are other mainline Sonic titles that could really use the remaster treatment. Sonic Unleashed is notorious for having frame rate issues on some stages, something that is mitigated on the Xbox One since you can play the game through backwards compatibility. Lost World is still only exclusive to the Wii U and PC for some reason, might as well be a PC exclusive right now. Sonic Heroes is the oldest mainline title to never be ported. Iâd also say Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic '06 but I imagine Sega will just want to bury those titles in the past.
Anyway, hope itâs a good remaster, the Colours remaster definetly had issues, arguably not really making it the âdefinitiveâ version of that game. I own the PC version of Generations and it runs fine, and as much as I enjoy the game, it is pretty short. I wonât be picking up the remaster if itâs like $40, which is what the Colours remaster cost.
Still, hope to see Sega remaster or just port more Sonic titles. Thereâs a pretty big catalog of Sonic games, especially from the 2000âs that are just stuck on their original hardward, like a ton of 2D titles for the Nintendo handhelds.

Yes @EvilGeniusRo got there first but I feel VERY STRONGLY about Deus Ex.

I like to think they are named embracer group Because of how they embrace and snap the necks of every company they own

At this point, we should really be popping champaigne that IO and Square Enix parted ways when they didâŚ

I do think that we will get a real, fully realized Deus Ex game, made by Deus Ex devs, at some point in the future. It will just take a long time (decades, when the something-cycle spins anew and the ethereum stars align).
It is a cursed franchise, but a resilient one.

It really hurts seeing the layoff numbers climb the more you read this article.
It seems to me there is a upper limit for commercializing game making. Many companies these days donât go below a certain scope anymore and prefer to not develop at all then. Remaining are huge projects that are extremely sensible to the economy and can leave a franchise dead for a decade or more.
I wish IP owners would give small indie developers a chance to try themselves on them to create spin-off games feasible for their size.
