I'm guessing that was you! Fair play to you for taking part. Your run was a highlight for me and very entertaining. Hope you'll be back again.

It was yeah. I’m glad you enjoyed the run! I’d like to go back, it would largely depend on if I got another run in. The trip to the states isn’t worth the cost as an attendee.

Hope to see you back at it. Was a bit surreal to hear an Irish accent on it. And well done! Might be a good idea to have a fundraiser to send you over maybe if you got another spot?

Have seen a few rumours floating about for the next Batman game. Talk of it being a soft reboot and entry point into a larger somewhat cohesive DC games universe, with a next gen Superman game also in the works. The rumours of co-op play have surfaced again, with you allegedly being able to play as different members of the Bat "family". Oh, and there's concept art for the Bat-cycle from a previously ditched Damian Wayne game that might be used in the new game.

All speculation as far as I can see, with no real credible sources. So take out your Bat-salt-cellar and give it a good old twist.

Maybe we will finally get a good superman game.

You mean you didn't adore Superman 64????

I still don't think you can pull off a Superman games these days. How do limit his powers without every enemy having a kryptonite rifle etc.?

I think doing a twist on A Death in the Family would be cool.

You play as Batman for the first 2-3 hours before Joker actually kills Batman at which point you takeover as one of Batgirl, Robin or Nightwing.

Anyone played Metal Wolf Chaos? The recent Devolver Digital remaster in particular? Don't think I've played a mech game before and normally the genre wouldn't interest me but it's From Software!

Currently on a gaming drought as nothing interests me until RE3 so trying to find something to pick up.

Also, has anybody played the VR game from did last year? Deraciné?

Superman 64 had it set in a VR world. It worked brilliantly.

Metal Wolf Chaos is fantastic. The acting is amazingly bad but it's also a pretty biting satire of American politics with a president helping america by destroying most of it. The game is a lot of fun as well.

Only annoying thing is I spent 120 euros on a Japanese copy of the game right before the rerelease was announced...

I mean actual magic, Superman is vulnerable to it. Have one of the more magically inclined of the rogues gallery enhance or summon mooks and use the heavy hitters that can go toe to toe with Superman as bosses.

They should turn it into a single player survival game. You wander a vast empty wasteland alone wondering what happened to this once great civilization.

CastorTroy

I didn't figure it out with this generation, but when does "next gen" become "current gen"? Is it when the first console releases, both consoles or a number of months after?
I'm just thinking of Sony and Microsoft as I know Nintendo do their own thing

Varik

Would say a number of months after.

I would have said the same, traditionally you'd have had a period were games got released on old and new systems for a while but now aren't MS saying no "next gen" exclusives for a few years?? I might be recalling that incorrectly though.

The edges of this stuff are feathered. Arguably we've seen a bit of next gen from the ray tracing stuff in Control on PC

Retr0gamer

Think sometime after the first Xmas and before the second. The second Xmas is when the consoles usually start picking up a lot of steam and sales.

Bit of a stretch

Got a new Mechanical keyboard and it feels so good compared to my old one :cool: tactile feedback makes such a difference. It's like the neogeo pocket joystick of keyboards.

Those eurogamer articles about the best PC gaming hardware are going to ruin me. Have a lightweight mouse on the way as well.

one armed dwarf

I'd love a standing desk. Right now my PC is just a glorified console. A really fecking great console but still.

Realistically though, who is going to stand up playing games on their PC? I have a standing desk at work and it's great and all but standing while playing unless it's VR or something....nahhh.

Was going to ask what it is but suspect I won't shell out for it

Potential-Monke

Can't stand mechanical keyboards myself, membrane all the way! Just can't hack the loud clicking.

Next/Current gen, I reckon as soon as a next gen console releases, it becomes the current gen and the then current gen becomes last gen. Like, it can't be next gen if it's already out!

I thought that defeated the purpose of them? Thought the click was supposed to be audible to ensure you know you clicked it... But having a quick google, I can see now that's not the case. But I still can't see why, unless you're a professional gamer, membrane wouldn't suit.

It's just a preference thing really, isn't it?

Rob2D

I prefer membrane too.
