Jason Schreier on what went down with WB and Monolith. A lot of Monolith people had already left, and formed a new Seattle-based E.A. studio, Cliffhanger Games, now working on a Black Panther game (from DC to Marvel, heyo):

Kinda summarized here:

I would have been disappointed if they’d announced a Suiko III port at this point. The manga’s by the Suiko III mangaka, so I’m really excited for that alone, and a stage play sounds like a great idea. I’m not happy that the next actual game is a mobile game, but I’m willing to stay open minded.

It sounds like the Suiko V director has been working a very long time to bring the series back from inside the company, so I’m happy for him.

oh! yeah, this is actually a good decision to be fai

Split fiction is getting such good reviews that I think I’m actually interested which is a bit shocking to me because the developer’s previous work looked really boring, I think I’m actually just like easily amused by current production values when the rest of the game is done well enough

Not a bad time to go soft

They should remake Pro Skater 5 next and pretend it’s a brand new game.

Wait, this is by the A Way Out/It Takes Two developers? I didn’t know they had something new and will definitely try it out.

would this not just be better with the slider style sticks? or are we too engrossed with the hall effect to allow for those to return

i feel wary of these emulation handhelds being made not because i finger wag at piracy or whatever, but find it odd just how clunky a lot of them look. and a few out there are apparently trying to 1-for-1 the gba now, and i think it would be overly embarrassing to carry one around in public anyways, like getting caught with a pair of fake Jordans or something

Absolum looks great!
Weirds me out that the reviewer mentions loving late 80s brawlers and compares this to them, but somehow they’ve never played the more direct comparisons games of D&D Shadow Over Mystara, Dragons Crown, or Guardian Heroes?? How does that happen
