STUNLOCK THE PRESSES: combo breaking news (Part 1)

Man, I never saw them, but the way people talk about it I thought the Captain America movies were only about him fucking his shield.

It’s real hard to say. I think it’s evaluated mostly as a media event they don’t have control over, which is terrifying because it throws off their inherently-astrological marketing plan leading to a specific interest and sales curve. If the spoilers create a negative media culture or weaken planned events later, it can have huge sales impacts.

Of course, if they are seen as heavy-handed in their reaction, it can also create this environment. They’re in a place of high risk at the moment.

Speaking of marketing events artist BossLogic drew a piece for the new AssCreed and they streamed a 7 hour video of it’s creation all day today officially unveiling the game. The best part (aside from getting to watch the creation of the art) is that it was all to tease a “world premier” announcement trailer tomorrow.

assassin’s creed advancing directly to its logical conclusion by just straight up becoming skyrim

the setting for the new asscreed is the most boring, uninspired thing possible lol. like, after they realized those games worked better as museum installation pieces the series got some renewed potential . . . and they choose this

EA is proud to announce, today, the first details of Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order 2, the hotly anticipated followup to 2019’s Game of the Year Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order. Join young Cal again as he continues on his quest to restore the Galaxy’s hunted sect of powerful Force-wielders, this time across a new collection of harshly frigid planets all mysteriously inhabited by a legendarily infamous and proud sect of nomadic warriors, their ancient magic-infused technology; and the deadly, mythic reptilian beasts they both fear and worship.

Well this came out of fucking nowhere, huh?

Ported by Code Mystics, looks like it has the same “pick a console skin/no skin, adjustable zoom, chunky lcd scanline” filters as the SamSho2 release.

Even has scans of the manual, playable in Japanese. Wild stuff. Hope more NGPC come later (along with SamSho2 being, uh, not just limited to Samurai Shodown Switch preorders).

Messing with it now and, y’know, it’s never the same without that clicky stick, but the game is still good!

That Neo Geo Pocket horoscope twitter account rules my life.

It says I have one star for money tomorrow but three stars in romance so I’m hoping I get at least one valentine tomorrow with a Wimpy-esque promise to pay me on Monday for feet pics today.

Not my picture, but holy shit, this thing has a quasi-cocktail table mode for multiplayer.

(You can play it traditional style, too, but this is wild)
