I honestly think there should be some sort of copyright expirey date on these sort of dormant I.P's. Make a game or otherwise utilize it every X number of years or it goes to public domain... basically use it or lose it. that would stop these companies hoarding old dormant I.P's like Smaug on his pile of gold.
Meh, I'd need a modern remake. I struggle with older games now.
The first one is available as free dlc for Madness Returns on PC and Xbox, you have GPU iirc.
Shame alright. Never played the first one, but Madness Returns was a nice slice of a different type of pie. Remember thoroughly enjoying it. Suppose that's another side of mergers and owning IPs, can just let them rot until they figure out how to monetise every game.
I wouldn't say I was pining for a new Alice game but it's a little disappointing knowing it will never happen now. Shame as Madness Returns is one of my favourite "6/7 out of 10" games."

EA rejected American McGee's pitch for "Alice: Asylum"
On the question of funding, they have ultimately decided to pass on the project based on an internal analysis of the IP, market conditions, and details of the production proposal. On the question of licensing, they replied that "Alice" is an important part of EA’s overall game catalog, and selling or licensing it isn’t something they’re prepared to do right now.
Don't wanna make a game but the IP is too "important" to license out, so now it just rots in EA's vault.
For once I agree with Sony 😁
The internet is cracking up at Sony calling COD gamers "sophisticated".
Something something rattle, something something pram.
MS will have to go nuclear and withdraw Minecraft from playstation.
I saw these scalpers go mad for these, limited physical runs are a curious one because the supplier (Squeenix in this case) only get the RRP but the scalpers are usually making 2x times the retail price?
These were announced back in February with a release in May, the physical copies are a SE Store exclusive here and are sold out(Asian Switch copies still available from Play Asia). The release has now been brought forward to 2 weeks time.
Pixel remasters announced for console in news that will probably surprise the morons that gave out about it being PC and mobile only but not surprise anyone else that square enix like money.
Only for PS4 and Switch. Nothing for XBox, could well be shenanigans by Sony being complete arseholes and money hatting it away from Xbox.
Looking like some improvements over the original releases. The font now doesn't look like shite. They've rebalanced it apparently, I did find some of the games too easy. Hopefully these will roll back for PC.
The big change I want though is that they fix the framerate issues and roll that back into PC.
I know, right?
What the people really want is a sequel to DOA from 2006.
Ming Na could easily still play Chun Li
Yes
Oh god, not again. Why do they keep trying with this series?
New big budget Street Fighter movie announced.
God, it’s like Tim Langdell and the whole Edge thing again, except way worse.
Can we all just take a second to appreciate Glowstick Entertainment? Monster Energy are suing them for having the audacity to call one of their games Dark Deception: Monsters & Mortals (which has been out since 2020 by the way). Thankfully Glowstick are going to contest the case.
I was saying Boo-urns
Man I had to uninstall Vampire Survivors; that loop was too much like crack. Plus, like all randomised games of that ilk, I quickly hit that ceiling of "is that it?" I tend to eventually discover.
Hot on the heels of winning BAFTA's game of the year award, Vampire Survivors is getting a new expansion in a couple of weeks...
I'm a little rusty, been a while since I've bought games since streaming services have been my go to for the past while. Almost pulled the trigger and then I remembered my old mantra. Never pre-order. Never get sucked into the hype. Wait to see if a game is sh!te first.
Glad a I remembered this 😂
Oh I'll pick it up for sure....later....cyber punk later.
Exactly, don't need to be a fan boy or someone who "defends a multi billion dollar corporation" to see that.
A shame. I always loved E3 but it's become so diluted the past few years that it was always going to be a shadow of its former self anyway, so probably best just to let it slip off. It's too easy for everyone to do their own thing now.
Staying up for the Bethesda showcase at 3am on Monday morning. Good times, good times.
Always a good laugh with the E3 thread on here, not so much with summer games fest. Will miss you E3 :(
Trailers, reveals and cringe. E3 was good fun, I'll miss it.
Yeah, I'd say that's that. Thanks for the memories E3, good and bad. Now we're stuck with Blandrew Blanderson for the foreseeable.
Good night sweet prince.
