News at XI: Pro Evolution Gossip

I want to argue that maybe the solution is “don’t make the franchise a yearly release moving forward” but

  1. they were already trying to do that with the sub-franchises and fucked that up
  2. EA let BF have a whole 4 years off and somehow the campaign for that was still a last-minute stitched together effort if reports are to be believed

well I’m sure the respective entities that acquired/are acquiring them will fix things up

the solution is to use the COD mobile engine which does everything the COD engine does but is built on Unity and does not have 20 fucking years of tech debt.

gonna take more than that to fix this

minimaps and healthbars, double damage and camo unlock, +30 Critical Kill popups on headshots, teammates that talk to you like they’re standing next to you but they aren’t there because you aren’t playing the campaign co-op, 8 minutes of the worst acted cutscenes you’ve ever seen in a call of duty before the game even starts

Congratulations to Gearbox for no longer releasing the most disappointing Borderlands game this year.

yeah call of duty is washed from a design perspective all the way down, it’s got nothing to do with the engine or the time in which they have to make these games, they’ve been trending into fortnite shit for a while now. mw3 had maybe some of the ugliest fucking skins i’ve ever seen in a videogame and they cost extra money somehow, yet you would see every idiot in the weird zombies dmz mode in awful glowing outfits, not to mention the actual other ip slop in cod now too

Zelda movie press photos. Link looking appropriately vacant here…

who among us will resist the urge to standup and clap (or cheer!) when, on opening day, in a late scene fighting against many enemies link releases his charged sword attack and spins shouting his classic hiiiiyeeaah…? i doubt very many of us to be honest.

Personally, I’m going to reserve my standing ovation for the .05 seconds when Link walks by a temple wall with a frieze depicting the Windfish on it. Also will be rolling around in the aisles screaming out loud when the post credits scene shows the skull kid picking up Majora’s Mask. Popcorn’s gonna be flying out of me like rings out of Sonic the Hedgehog.

Link sees his shadow and the world gets seven more years of Actually The Live Action Mario Bros Film Wasn’t That Bad

It would be nice if Zelda turned out to be the third decent video game movie adaptation ever (the other two being Detention and Fatal Frame) but looking at other things the director and writers have done there doesn’t seem to be any hope.

(To be fair, I know nothing about The Maze Runner. Maybe it’s good but I doubt it.)

I dunno, this looks pretty good:

they look like staged pics from a vgame-themed gender reveal party that will end up immolating several acres of woodland after she fires that bow into a box full of tannerite. which is the most zelda thing of all :^)

it just needs a few marvel quips and a lot of money and people will like it enough for nintendo to keep making them until we’re all dead

i saw some of it on tv once - it wasn’t too bad of YA b-movie version of The Hunger Games or something like that. not something exactly high quality but certainly not terrible. but also seeing stuff on tv lowers your expectations generally lol. i think it’s probably fair to not expect much from a Zelda movie, but given how safe the Mario movie was i don’t know how anyone would expect anything different.

I’ll be there only if Danny Devito plays a live action Tingle.
