Platinum is teasing something... four.platinumgames.com/What can it be? Bayonetta 4 would make absolutely no sense. Perhaps it’s four new games being announced? Or maybe something unexpected. What if Platinum is making Ninja Gaiden 4 for Tecmo or something. Hmmm... Or it's a 4-way Cross-over of Metal Gear Rising, Bayonetta, Nier:Automata, and Transformers:Devastation. 2B encounters the Autobots, Decepticons, Raiden and the Metal Gear cows as machine life-forms to observe and engage, while Bayonetta is looking for the traces of the Queen-beast (from Drakengard 1) to contain and reduce its influence on the world.

Instant pre-order!

Looks like System Shock 3 is dead (the originally Starbreeze published game not the Nightdive remake). Not a whole lot of details, but from I've pieced together, Starbreeze's Walking Dead game was a money pit for years that didn't result in a finished game and dragged the rest of the company down. They sold the rights to the developer, and they were never able to find a publisher for it. Staff has been slowly being let go, but Warren Spector is still technically on it. Maybe it'll get revived, but it looks unlikely. www.usgamer.net/articles/system-shock-3-is-no-longer-in-development-claims-former-dev

Today I got my physical copy of Yakuza Remastered Collection. It comes with an empty PS3 box of Yakuza 5! How pointless, but also how very observant of Sega to realize that 99,9% of the people who wanted Y5 in the west wanted a physical copy to put next to their other Yakuza games. I missed out on this game completely because I didn’t have enough harddrive space on my PS3, so...yay! First time playing Y5.
I can’t believe every mainline Yakuza game is now on PS4. What even happened? It’s almost like we can have nice things again.

How disappointing. I read the first 2 volumes of the Sonic IDW comic and love it. Nintendo should provide more stories for the Mario cast. The upcoming movie better not be "NSMB plot with a few Minion Toads". Today I got my physical copy of Yakuza Remastered Collection. It comes with an empty PS3 box of Yakuza 5! How pointless, but also how very observant of Sega to realize that 99,9% of the people who wanted Y5 in the west wanted a physical copy to put next to their other Yakuza games.

What even happened? It’s almost like we can have nice things again. Yakuza 0 and Kiwami sold very well. Sega seems to put more trust into localization again and paid off.

It's nice having them all on PC as well. Just wish we got the fist of the north star game and Judgement, although that might still come to PC.
I wonder if Dead Souls will get a revival. I just finished Binary Domain and while not perfect it was immensely enjoyable and would love another third person shooter to play from the same team.

So I just beat D on PC.... I used to think this game looked incredible. Time has not been kind. The story is schlock of the highest order.
Yet.… It's short and I kind of enjoyed it.

Haha, yeah D was the shit back in 95 but retrospectively is really not a good game.

I recently finished my second go at Shin Megami Tensei if. Went for the Akira Route, since he has a fully different game from the other three companions. It's an interesting idea to include this B scenario on a New Game +, but honestly, unless you really like SMTif and want a bit more of a challenge, I'm not sure it's particularly worth it. It's a straight up dungeon crawl with little happening outside battles and quite a bit tougher than the main game. The boss designs are, as per usual for this game, pretty great tho.

I'm getting a bit farther into Dragon Quest XI. At a certain point you can go out of order a bit and explore a little, including some stray islands. Combine that with the fact the difficult enemies and no exp. for weak enemies draconian quests make the squid boss battle and general enemies quite challenging, and it feels more like an old-school DQ. It turned out I just needed to talk to someone to make the squid easier, but I went out of order a little when I couldn't beat him yet, and it's really fun to throw yourself at some enemy formations you're not quite ready for yet. The snow area (which isn't even the area the game wants you to go to after the squid) was quite fun to explore under-leveled.
I have 7 out of 8 party members now, and it's incredible how well made the battle system really is, and how fun it is to throw different combinations of party members at the game.

The news about System Shock 3 is sad to hear. I hope that the remake of 1 can come together at least...
