Yo Rimland! Replying to your old post because of a new TXR game coming in early access later this month! :partying_face:

I am so excited for this. Would be even better when they decide to release on consoles as well. TXR Zero was my first ever PS2 game, which introduced me to street racing, JDM car culture, and Tokyo Expressway. I believe there’s many like me who then fell in love with such scene. Can’t wait to hit Wangan route and blast Eurobeat in those sweet Japanese tuner rides. :racing_car:

New Minecraft snapshot pigs are one of my favourite animals so finally getting new ones makes me very happy

Funny how the usually harder to get variants are actually easier to get then the regular ones for once

Well, personally I didn’t expect this, unless they don’t delay again…

I mean, with the fact that the february release date was just gonna be 1 month + 4 days from now, and they still haven’t put up official pre-orders for Shadows again yet, I was wondering if another delay was in the cards…
(Yeah lol, the official Shadows Page on the PS Store still has no pre-order option, and still lists Feb 14 for now…)

Like, marketing has also seemed pretty quiet for a while too. And I guess it might be quiet for another half-month longer… :laughing:

this fucking suuuuuucks. but yeah, you could kinda see it coming. they have shared a few articles about what the combat/stealth/parkour will be like on the website and nothing else. let’s hope the project is not completely doomed. I personally think what they’ve shown looks cool overall.

speaking of doom.
new info coming.

But they also announced this:

In short, they are looking new shareholders, maybe this time someone very big? Maybe Tencent?

I think it is bold for NetEase to add Dr. Fate into their game, I had no idea they were crossing over with DC so soon!

“Transformational strategic and capitalistic options”, “significant cost reductions”, “highly selective approach to investments”… somehow that feels more like (the wrong) people losing their jobs.

That is the case with all mergers and acquisitions. Same with buyouts, takeovers and the like. There are almost always lead to layoffs, restructuring and giant bonuses for board members

It is almost like the sort of person who works in mergers and acquisitions would be some sort of psycho…

Nintendo Switch 2 has had a pretty major leak, with a gaming peripheral company showing off their peripherals for the upcoming console at CES. Nintendo has responded, and only states that this third party wasn’t using official Nintendo hardware. It doesn’t deny that this is the Switch 2.

With the Switch 1 hitting 8 years old in March, and the speculation and rumours. I do think it is safe to say that the Switch 2 will be coming out in 2025. Possibly announced very soon with an April 2025 release date if the rumour mill is accurate.

I don’t play the game myself but a lot of you do so here is some news.

The leaked characters are:

Cyclops

Professor X: Because sometimes you want to look like an asshole on your highlight reel by no-scoping a paraplegic

Colossus

Locus. Who is a teleporting mutant terrorist, she will more or less be a Tracer rip-off. I have no clue why they even chose her.

Jia Jing (Sprite): A Post M-Day mutant with wings and morphing rock skin. I don’t know why NetEase would chose her…

TrapsterPaste Pot Pete: Fantastic Four villain who gave himself an alias that was both derivative (of Piss Pot Pete) and stupid, his name became more famous than the character did. He uses a gun that shoots an extremely powerful adhesive and he isn’t afraid to use it on people who forget he calls himself Trapster now.

So are leaks for other games allowed here? because if so there’s a lot of stuff id like to post also some other previously leaked characters for marvel rivals during season 0 and the closed and public betas are Blade Hit-Monkey and Ultron

also was that paste pot guy you mentioned in one of the LEGO marvel games because he sounds familiar

Are they? Either way if Forbes is posting them then I doubt they are going to send the MSS after me.

Looking at his credits page on Wikipedia? He was in some Lego Avengers adjacent media but not in the actual game.

Trapster gets used a lot because despite his stupid name he has actually been in some decently planned schemes and hos glue gun is as effective as you think it is given it shoots immobilizing fluid.

Miku local co op and the ability to use instruments as pickaxes and backblings very good update

Damn, something feels kinda last-minute scummy by Epic to feature “Miku” by Anamanaguchi in the trailer as well as the key art being Miku’s regular design… but they’re only available as paid items in the shop. :thinking:

The Festival Pass gets a Neko-themed Miku outfit and different Miku tracks.
