Game News Thread

Am I missing something? Isn’t the CEO meant to serve the interests of the company’s shareholders? The same shareholders who are putting these French & Canadian operations up for sale?

Why is he painting those businesses in a bad light? Is he intentionally trying to dissuade buyers? Reduce the sale price? Prevent the sale from going ahead?

Does understanding all of this require me to be 17 layers deep into the #GME, apes together strong, r/WallStreetBets, To The Moon nonsense lore? Will I need to watch a 4 hour video essay setting out why everyone involved is either insane, evil, or stupid?

Am I going to regret asking all these questions?

Could be nothing, but Sam Lake might have shown the first look at Max in the Max Payne remakes that have been in full production as of last year.

Not official news but it’s hard to tell with this man.

In the latest Yooka-Replaylee news, Playtonic have revealed the total overhaul of the Rextro minigames! The minigames in the original were my least favorite part of the game. They forced you to do each minigame twice, the minigames ranged from meh to God-awful, and the games themselves didn’t look retro.

Now though they’ve completely overhauled them, with them all having a really good looking retro-modern artstyle with tons of unique enemies and mechanics. And I love the cute new Rextro model for them!

Something interesting is the Steam update says there are 8 upgraded Rextro machines within the worlds. There were 8 in the original too, but only 5 were used for Pagies in the worlds with the rest added as an afterthought in the hub. Hopefully this means that they at least moved the other 3 in places to be found. I’m not naive enough to think they’re gonna add 3 whole new worlds to the game.

Looking more likely that a THPS3 and THPS4 remaster is coming soon.

It will probably be something like “Tony Hawk enters the Warzone [Insert date]. Order now for free Gnarly emote”.

I wouldn’t doubt that, since it feels really weird to promote this tease first in CoD rather their own social media :joy:. But with this note, plus the reveal being a perfect ‘03.04’ date

Furthermore, fans have analysed the small symbol above the date and found the position of the skateboarder to be a combination of Tony Hawk’s moves from the box art covers of Pro Skater 3 and Pro Skater 4. It has the legs position from the former and the hand position of the latter.

It all feels a little too coincidental to not be about an actual THPS game announcement.

Maybe there’ll also be a CoD promo on the side too, though!

If I were playing devil’s advocate to manifest 3+4 into reality (Which I am) then I would say Tony independently teased something was in the works last year around the time of the series anniversary.

That is true (unless you like anywhere but the US and parts of Canada in which case you were thinking it was the fourth of April)

I remember when it was CoD that used Tony Hawk as a promotional vehicle.

ICYMI: Pegi would not rate it lower than 18 originally, due to “gambling”. Despite there being not real-world way to gamble, and it uses Poker hands as the basis for points in the game.

Other games with literal loot-box gambling (your Overwatches and stuff) had no issue being rated lower, despite… ACTUAL gambling.

And now, Balatro finally won!!

Warner Bros is cancelling the Wonder Woman game

Least surprising news on the fucking planet.

Here is a woman who spends her time between an ancient land of myths and a modern world of superheroes but DC want to do exactly jack shit with her because, some-fucking-how, they have no idea how to use her.
