News VI: Fires of Rumorcon

finding the clash between bungie’s fussiness and sony marketing funny e.g. the playstation accounts uploaded the lightfall trailer with completely wrong key art for the thumbnail, and i can’t imagine that trailer meant anything to anyone who isn’t already sold

yeah but it’s not like anything in Destiny 2 makes any sense to anyone who doesn’t keep actively playing right now anyway

i’ve been kinda nostalgic for destiny recently but they’re at the point where even someone with 1k+ hours and everything done in d1 and d2 up to that ‘expansion’ where it was a public event and a room you could go in can’t figure out which sku you buy now

i still think about how i paid 100 dollars for destiny 2 and the season pass and if I were to start up the game now all the content I paid for is gone and I’ll be bombarded with ads to buy new xpacs. Last time I did this it showed me an ad for an expansion they were literally sunsetting any time I tried to do an activity. Which, to be fair, they don’t sunset anymore, but it was incredibly insulting. Very sad to see Bungie in such a state.

bungies interviews are just like their raids, 8 hours long, done on 2 hours of sleep, and 15 people are involved

I will never forget the Bungie 2 doc that portrayed the Halo 2 E3 gameplay demo as a life-changing moment for gamers in the room.

the best part of this is how none of that halo 2 demo ended up being in the game

it’s getting restored to a mostly playable state for MCC along with a ton of other cut stuff from halo 1 and 2 which is kinda crazy

whaaaaat. I’ll be honest and say that this segment of gameplay kind of wowed me as a child. I have for the longest time confusedly believed the SMGs in Halo 2 were snapped together to form a battle rifle because of this trailer. That idea has captured me for two decades now!

last update was from 8 months ago so literally who knows if it’ll ever come out because 343

I love that they’re trying, this is like what my colleague Andrew at the museum of play in Rochester goes through when he tries to boot old demos that were donated to them

Some of the dialog at the beginning cutscene ended up in the game but that was it.

that lemmings game looks so fucking wild. instant must play day one thing for me even, and maybe especially, if it blows

Loads up bookmarks to find the cool random Steam game stumbled upon today

…Oh, you all found out about Humanity/The Lemmings-with-people game by yourselves, nevermind then >_>

Anyways there is a PC demo version up for those who want to try and don’t have a PS4 or 5 to try the demo there. Go nuts.

the time is right for a games studio to bring back crunk, i guess

Yeo’s got a new game in the works. I am disappointed to see it continue the violent murder trend of Arrest of a Stone Buddha, but it seems to also blend in the life-sim stuff from Friends of Ringo. Gotta take the good with the bad as a begger in this world of handmade artisanal existential Kunio adventures, I guess.
