none of the stuff in the Future Games Show even felt worth commenting on
say what you will about games all being “what if [already existing game 1] meets [already existing game 2]”, I am not a fan of this new trend of “what if [already existing game 1] plus [art style of game 2 and nothing else]”

This stood out a little.
But yeah really remarkable how I’ve seen 100s of game trailers today (indie and AAA) and so few leave an impression. It might just be me being an old man but it really feels like things are going to a weird place. Saturation of very same-y looking games all using the same engines without being able to distinguish themselves enough.
Is it so hard to ask for something I’ve never seen (in a game)?

I swear, I was making fun of the idea of a Shadow Man remaster somewhere. Maybe it was just in my brain.
Or maybe it was Shadow Madness.
it’s a strange time obviously; I could easily make a case that 2019 was the best year for videogames yet (I do believe this more or less) and at the same time I don’t like any of what I’m seeing this week at all (except, like, new hitman I’ll play, and new trailers to bloodlines and baldur’s gate sequels I was already excited about), AAA is losing me again the way it did in the mid 2000s, and the new console hardware has literally nothing going for it, not even accessibility or unobtrusiveness compared to running a windows box. so who’s to say really!

best time for video games was between like, 1990 and 2005.

i am truly, unironically excited to play exactly three hours of Hitman 3 in 2 years after a steep discount. the three hours i played of hitman 2 were super memorable and worth the $10 i paid or whatever

Measuring the size of the disc slots is misleading because often times those slots are bigger than the disks themselves, but the I imagine measuring by the USB slots would be a bit more consistent.
This image doesn’t answer the real question though: is it bigger than xbox?

Makes the Series X tower look quaint.
I’m going to bet that it costs at least 599 US Dollars and the digital only version is like a hundred dollars cheaper.
Or maybe even more expensive than that since Microsoft is already going to be doing financing rent-to-own type plans with their box.
What the hell?

I used to think as long as something gets ported to pc a good thing has been done but all these remasters have just been one war crime after another
