My wife is from the town the final level of the demo is based on so it was very fun guy us. Level starts in the neighbouring big city and evokes the vibe of the local tram system, goes to the amusement park that overlooks the town, before steamroling her town on the way to Sakurajima volcano.

It has been discussed endlessly, but at what point do governments actually talk about the power of the Google monopoly, and do something to protect industries and jobs?

Koei Tecmo is investing in conversational AI for characters/dialog with the intent to use it in their games. Disappointing.

I have now played Denshattack and it’s even more fun than I expected. Holy crap.

We really do need Indie World writers to stop talking about indie games like we're babies

I had forgotten how hilarious this is. In case you ever make the mistake of thinking that the opinions of NeoGAF or ResetERA are worth a damn, just remember this:

Not surprised by this because there is almost nowhere in the UK now to buy brand new physical games in person and people don't want game key cards. Also, the primary audience for this is on other consoles. The modern RE games coming to Nintendo platforms is a very recent thing.

I saw Hoppers and really enjoyed it. One of the better Pixar films. It has a lot of heart and it’s surprisingly very funny. Also, 🦫🦫🦫🦫πŸͺ΅πŸͺ΅πŸͺ΅πŸͺ΅πŸͺ΅

Rob speaks very well here on some of the harsher reality of the games industry and why people are getting burned out and quitting. Please check out his great work and check out Berserk Boy as well! That game rules.

sony is 100% responsible for the demise of bluepoint. they bought the studio. they had no idea what to do with it. they closed it for a quick profit.

seriously. we're not doing this from software killed bluepoint bullshit.

A digital painting of a pokemon.
In a sunlit room, the new gen dog-like pokemon lies on a blanket while being petted with a firm, almost grabbing motion. Tufts of fur spill out between the fingers.

I find it almost infuriating how many people voted free to play here, man! That was the entire problem with the 2013 one. It was fun to play but lacked anything meaningful to do in it precisely because of the cheapskate FTP set-up and you clowns want a repeat of that.

This is all horrible but the AI generated fake journalist being a balding white guy with facial hair who likes Resident Evil is impressively accurate.

Jonathan Majors Makes Movie Comeback In Daily Wire Action Pic Filming This Week In South Carolina Filming begins this week on the action movie which stars Creed III and Ant-Man star Majors, who hasn't made a film in four years.

This is where he always was going to end up after his downfall.

Anno is joking. He's buds with both Miyazaki and Tomino (Gundam) and knows that they didn't even really breakout until their late 30s/40s.

Anno himself was 35 when NGE came out.

Despite what you may have heard, Japanese people can be funny and sarcastic on purpose.

It's already hard enough out there for video games media, come on guys, can we not be douchebags about giving the last five sites out there a few more clickthroughs?
