    None of Valve's other games are are they?

    I know half-life and portal ported over but who knows what valve are thinking these days. Not sure what other companies they bought over the years.

    Could that mean that in the valley of the gods could be pc exclusive?
    More likely that the devs will work on it for years with no sign of release until they leave Valve one by one and then the game is forgotten about.

    They’ve said on Twitter the console versions will not be affected by the change.

    They'll fit right in at Valve given neither company make games :D

    GTA5 Premium Online Edition is being released. Only a paltry £59.99 on consoles (or £67.99 on Steam - not sure of the euro price) for a 5 year old game with some bull**** micro transactions.

    Rockstar are as bad as anyone in the business for this kind of ****e.

    Those micro transaction have gotten the game 5 years of support.

    With them they're might have been a DLC or 2 and that's it.

    I'd rather some single player DLC over a **** load of online micro transactions.

    They're only that bad because people are still somehow pouring money into that shíte, hollow, grindy hole.

    They're the real villains.

    Crazy Taxi, that was a sweet game. I'd love a remake of it.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 31,107 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Remake? I’d just like Sega to cough up the money to buy the rights for the Offspring and Bad Religion songs again. The game feels fundamentally wrong without them.

    Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

    I'd love a new Crazy Taxi, or a remaster collection with the Vegas one. Never played that.

    Belgium and the Netherlands declare lootboxes to be gambling and thus illegal - https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-04-25-now-belgium-declares-loot-boxes-gambling-and-therefore-illegal

    Unless you live in Belgium where you may soon lose access to the online elements of the games in question. :o

    Is it difficult to set up a US PSN?

    Also, the games listed as PS3, are they only playable on PS3 (or Vita) or can the PS4 play them too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,219 ✭✭✭maximoose


    Not difficult at all to set up, all you need is an email - takes about 10 mins

    The PS4 won't play the PS3 games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,536 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    Kotaku is going under.

    https://twitter.com/Kotaku/status/993873281483755520

    And a few of them seem have volunteered for the chop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,167 ✭✭✭Notorious


    It'll be a shame if they go under. I know they don't get great press, but I like Kotaku. I don't browse their site as much as I used to, but they make a decent podcast.

    Still do. They're Splitscreen podcast is always good. I hope that if they do go under Jason Schreier and Kirk Hamilton keep it going.

    I gave up on Kotaku when Patricia Hernandez made me cringe on a daily basis.

    WWE 2K19...Big if true


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,911 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    That is major **** up. I wonder if there will be something done about it.

    Hopefully a good few of them will be released this year.

    I… I… I'm not sure if you're joking or not. I think you are. It's hard to tell on here sometimes…

    A surprise, but one I'm on board with!

    Also glad to see Sam Fisher back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,385 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    A lot of dull arse sequels and remakes there. Does anyone really want another Gears of War?
