EA reportedly under criminal investigation in Belgium due to FIFA's loot boxes

Many game developers think they know better and operate above the law. Sweatshop environments, long hours, impossible schedules, low pay, leading to poor health. From time to time these issues catch up with them.

EA is one reason Battlefront 5 will not be purchased.

As pretty as Red Dead Redemption 2 looks, it's not on my wants list. I'm done with Call of Duty, have been for years, although did return briefly to give Advance Warfare a try, and put it down all too soon.

On the subject of Battlefield, i only ever gave the first game (demo) a try, which involved a suburban street lined with houses, from what i recall. Battlefield 5 sounds kinda cool. Maybe now is the time to get into a new war game :)

Avalanche insists "Generation Zero is not and has never been intended to be a Simon Stålenhag game"

The two legged Generation Zero creation looks more like an half-assed take on Sahelanthropus (Metal Gear Solid). No I’m not seeing the connection to a Simon Stålenhag creation.

The Swedish connection (location) is more suspect.

The bottom line is, is this news worthy?

@Cypher-Unknown Due to a technical error, pre-orders for the 500 Million Limited Edition PS4 Pro Console went live before the announced time, and some customers were able to order multiple units. This is unfair to those who had planned to order at the announced time. All customer orders for the console have therefore been cancelled, please check your email for more information if you had placed an order.

Pre-orders will now be available from 10am (BST) on Wednesday 15th, August, limited to one unit per customer.

Death Stranding gets lengthy gameplay and story trailer

1Million_Tons_of_TNT

3 years ago

O M G !

Death Stranding appears to have all the hallmarks Hideo Kojima MGS game. The new trailer looks great. Lindsay (Bionic Woman) Wagner has never looked so good.

I played the crap out of The Phantom Pain on PS4, and it rates as my favourite game of all time. Some months ago I decided to hang up my console pads for good. The fact remains, I want to play Death Stranding. It’s looking like a PS4-Pro is on the cars for me. This will also give me an excuse to pick Detroit Become Human, Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima and possibly GT Sport.

Been waiting for Detroit: Become Human, and loved every minute of Heavy Rain

I hung up my console pads some time ago. Detroit: Become Human might have what it takes to get me to buy a PS4 Pro, as my PS4 HD is full, and i want it to stay that way, just in case i ever decide to return to those games on that HD. If i pick up a PS4 Pro, then i'd have the HD space and power for Gran Turismo Sport, and Resident Evil + VR device. Let's not forget Death Stranding

Interesting article.

The PS3 was great, mine is still in action today, mostly to play GTA V online for free.
Admittedly the fantastic controller feels dated, although it did well to last 3 generations. Sony found a way of improving it, and the PS4 control pad is sublime.

Metal Gear Survive flops at UK retail

1Million_Tons_of_TNT

@ProTw33ks Konami do appear to be somewhat stuffed on the games console front. Pro Evolution Soccer, do gamers still bother with this?

It would be amazing if Konami re assembled Team Silent for a new Silent Hill game.

After Death Stranding, maybe Hideo Kojima could work on Metal Gear Solid for Sony, as Konami might sell it off, having killed it off.

Hideo Kojima is getting on a bit now, and given how long his games take to make, i doubt there is more than one more game let in him after Death Stranding. If Death Stranding does well, which i'm sure it will, Sony will no doubt want a follow up.

I have many fond memories of playing Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3, with their pre_rendered locations. Jaw dropping at the time. I completed all 3 games.

I have equally fond memories of playing Resident Evil 4 on the PS2. The opening location was really something. As tough as the game is, i battled through to the end.

For one reason or another, i passed on RE5 and RE6, although i have every intention of picking up RE7 :)

Ex-Uncharted developer alleges sexual harassment at Naughty Dog

1Million_Tons_of_TNT

4 years ago

@robilott1 It doesn’t matter. Since this guy has gone public, questions are raised. Without knowing sexual orientation, throws up various possibilities.

1. If David Ballard was gay and the lead was male, it makes some sense, one hitting on the other, even if the other is unhappy about it. You’d have thought they could have sorted it out between them. Maybe they tried.

2. If David Ballard was straight and the lead was male, it would somehow make the situation worse than the scenario no.1 As that enters the realms of one thinking they can turn the other gay.

3. If the lead was female and David Ballard simply wasn’t interested, his complaint would be taken less seriously. If Debbie looked like a bit of a hottie, and word got round the office, then David’s sexuality might be questioned by co works, making David feel uncomfortable, all the while just wanting to get on with his job.

4. If the roles were reversed, and David was Debbie, and the lead was male and harassing Debbie, the complaint would be taken more seriously than scenario no.3

Moving back to point no.2 I know of two lesbian couples who are similar. Both are made up of a female who likes to act the boss and to some degree look masculine, while the partner has a child from a previous boyfriend. Both these females act weak, and to some degree were turned lesbian by females that are head strong and offer a financially better way of life.

It is never a good being in a position where others higher up on the ladder abuse their position. Without wishing to offend in any way. After reading the statement, I was left wondering:

David Ballard, what is his sexual orientation?

'was sexually harassed at Naughty Dog by a lead’
Was the lead male or female?

Given how long Ballard has been out of work maybe he should have taken the $20K

15 years on, Syberia 1 gets Switch release date

1Million_Tons_of_TNT

4 years ago

On the subject of Syberia 3. Once you get past the fact that the game is 100% 3D unlike the first two instalments, which feature static pre rendered backdrops over which 3D characters perform, Syberia 3 becomes all the more enjoyable. It’s not without its faults, as I was required to restart the game, having encountered a bug that put a stop to all progress. It wasn’t uncommon to see sections of 3D backdrop either missing, or floating, disconnected. Given I experienced Syberia 3 on the Playstation 4, there were times I got the impression the Microids engine hadn’t been refined for Playstation, as the game frame rate had a habit of dropping considerably. I did wonder if the Playstation 4 wasn’t simply running a PC emulator, given how little happens on screen for the game to run so slowly at times.

Completed all three Syberia games. 1 and 2 required the help of walkthroughs, as the puzzles were too difficult. Sure some of the puzzles were fathomed out, many were not. The art style of both games is simply gorgeous. Syberia 3 looks good also, although the game is 3D, not to mentioned somewhat bug ridden.
