*sigh*

The Line is probably the most ridiculous of the projects, but it's only one of a number of them in the Neom region. Apparently what dictators in the middle east like to do is secure their legacy, to make their mark on the world, so people pitch completely unrealistic ideas to them without any number...

Yeah, I can't say I really see the obsession with AAA games. I suppose it probably just comes down to marketing. Better looking game = better looking trailers and screenshots = more sales, and better looking game = better reputation for the hardware. I have no issue with flagship games, tentpole-tit...

That's something I meant to bring up earlier. Prior to Redfall at least, Arkane's games have usually been critical successes, but have they ever really been commercial ones? I seem to remember Prey was heavily discounted soon after launch, and I'm not sure the Dishonoured games ever had mass appeal.

Exactly; the developers they've bought already will be looking to leave, making their already very expensive acquisitions worthless to the brand.

They could just hire up a new studio rather than close a bunch down. I did see some stuff around Tango Gameworks and that a lot of staff left to join Mikami's new studio and there weren't many people left at the studio. Theoretically yes, but that's just not how these things work now. I suspect at ...

Here we go then; The Boys Season 4, June 13th. As with every trailer for The Boys, it might be worth avoiding if you want to go in fresh as there's tons of probably brilliant surprises in there, but then they usually fill the season with so many of the things that it must be difficult choosing which...

Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world's ending!

One of my absolute favourite scenes in all of cinema, and a large part of that was Bernard Hill. His delivery is so powerful and convincing that you could absolutely believe that horde of men would follow him into the jaws of hell.

I also watched it last night. It's a good half-hour too long, and it doesn't really hold a candle to John Wick, either in choreography or world-building, but the last half hour or so is very enjoyable.

I lost what had been my first pet last year. Despite not having seen her for two years (she belonged to my ex), it still hurt as much as losing any member of my family ever has. This is one of those things that people that don't own pets don't really comprehend; people can form bonds with animals th...

Christ, people were joking about it being a dangerous world for Boeing whistleblowers after the first alleged suicide, and it's actually happened? Is it just the case that there are so many whistleblowers because there are so many problems at the company, and this is actually just a reasonable morta...

BG3 certainly had a falloff, I don't think a single-player game would ever not, but the current numbers are more than ten times that of Starfield's.

So I finished Fallout. I think my enthusiasm dipped a bit by the end; there's clearly a ton of love for the source material, and it's the most faithful game-TV/film adaptation I can think of in terms of aesthetic (and it must have cost a fortune to make as a result), but the tone just didn't seem to...

I think there will be plenty of people looking forward to it. Starfield is one of those games about which the agenda was set by the people who didn't like it and ignores the thousands of people who did like it. Because the general consensus was that it would be a hit in the same way Skyrim was when...

Former Lionhead-staffed studio announce their new game, release a demo, and in the same breath postpone its development. https://www.eurogamer.net/ex-lionhead-devs-announce-new-game-shelve-new-game-and-confirm-layoffs-all-at-the-same-time It's a pretty sobering take on the state of the games industr...
