Shareholders again not realising that when they hear about pyramid schemes and gaming trends they are already too late to jump on them.
You would think they would have learned after the avengers and releasing a destiny game 7 years after loot em ups were relevant.
It literally reads like a well-constructed April Fools joke.
Then you realise it’s three months early so it must be real.
Madness.
This is just pure insanity...
I realize that some people who “play to have fun” and who currently form the majority of players have voiced their reservations toward these new trends, and understandably so. However, I believe that there will be a certain number of people whose motivation is to “play to contribute,” by which I mean to help make the game more exciting. Traditional gaming has offered no explicit incentive to this latter group of people, who were motivated strictly by such inconsistent personal feelings as goodwill and volunteer spirit. This fact is not unrelated to the limitations of existing UGC (user-generated content). UGC has been brought into being solely because of individuals’ desire for self-expression and not because any explicit incentive existed to reward them for their creative efforts.
As ever: NFTs = No **** Thanks.
Ah, infinite growth. I love modern capitalism.
🤦
Ok, last few years have been bad enough without game companies continuously **** up. Let's have a good start to 2022.... ah ****.
This remaster is actually available to play right now, albeit illegally. The entire thing leaked earlier this year, and you're able to play it on either a modded 360 or an emulator on PC.
Ars Technica thought it was so good that they included it in their games of the year round up, despite the dubious providence and lack of legal availability.
It's not woeful just been surpassed. The framerate is the biggest issue but if it's a rare remake like perfect dark that should at least be fixed.
It's the Rare developed N64 one not the Activision CoDeye monstrosity.
Yeah. Which Goldeneye are we talking about here? Cos there was that remake (that IIRC "starred" Daniel Craig, replacing Brosnan?)
It's a game I've intentionally avoided replaying for that reason.
Remake or "remaster"?
Now a new generation can discover that it's aged horribly.
Will still buy it day one.
Instant buy for me. It'll probably be on game pass actually, seeing as it's Rare game
Seems the leaked XBLA version of Goldeneye has been polished up and will be getting an official release on Xbox One.
The latest game to use the Terminator license has had some promotion pop up. It's a RTS of all things, which I wasn't expecting; between this, Company of Heroes 3, Homeworld 3, C&C remastered, AoE4 and some others the genre is getting a small bump these days
I finished Turok 1 a few months ago. The Nightdive ports are excellent and 1 and 2 are still great games. What a shame. I still remember that nonsense where they got a 'superfan' to change their name legally to Turok and get a tatoo as a marketing stunt and they managed to spell it wrong as Turoc. Maybe they were a dyslexic superfan.
Yea but it had that awful fog though. After Turok 2 that series could have been up there with the other classic shooter series, instead we slowly had to watch the corpse rot before being brought back to life as an undead monster in 2007 before rotting all over again.
Turok 1 performance was actually decent. I surprisingly enjoyed it when I revisit the N64 version.
Turok 2 on the other hand is a slideshow
Imagine a good Turok game that ran at anything north of 17 FPS on release. That is the dream right there.
Maybe they can give Turok to Nightdive and we can get back to having good Turok games again.
Also, Hellboy and Sin City are creator owned as well. What they do own themselves isn't really popular. Having said that, maybe some gems that can do well, with some money behind them.
It is, I love it myself. Just pointing out that it has sold more in the US for Dark Horse than their own US properties, that doesn't usually happen with manga.
But Berserk is incredible.
Says something that their property with the highest sales is Berserk, even over stuff like Hellboy and Sin City.
Darkhorse was mostly know for licensed comics, most of which they lost when Disney bought Star Wars, and Fox, and they lost the Star Wars, Aliens and Predator comic licenses. Most of the other stuff was either creator owned, or properties that never sold that well.
Embracer buying all the things. Dark Horse themselves launched a games development arm earlier this year IIRC.
They have over 300 IPs.
Dark Horse Comics: The core business of Dark Horse is content creation, with comics publishing being the key expression of that content. Dark Horse publications include company owned titles, such as The Mask, Time Cop, Father’s Day, and Ghost; licensed titles, such as Star Wars, Avatar the Last Airbender, Stranger Things and Witcher; Japanese manga titles, such as Berserk, Lone Wolf & Cub, and creator-owned material, such as Big Guy and Rusty and Grendel. Dark Horse is also a leader in game art collections with books like the best seller The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia.
Dark Horse Entertainment: A production company founded in 1989, which has produced over 40 films and series, including the #1 box office hits The Mask and Timecop, the Hellboy films, and the critically acclaimed series The Umbrella Academy and Resident Alien.
I don't know Dark Horse too well; what are their main IPs at play here?

Robust enough discussion that it deserves its own thread!
