More Jones! (I'm still amazed by Troy Baker's Harrison Ford).

I'm not as big a gaming trucker as henke, but I can still recognize the good stuff when it's in the pipeline.
Well I'm fascinated by the Icelandic landscape anyway.

The resurgence of WRPGs continues? Bioware and Obsidian maybe staffed by talentless skinwalkers now, but there's potentially good news for us.

(https://web.archive.org/web/20250626141244/https://www.eurogamer.net/chris-avellone-joins-former-quantic-dreams-writer-at-republic-games-to-work-on-ambitious-project-inspired-by-golden-age-of-rpgs) Chris Avellone joins former Quantic Dreams writer at Republic Games to work on ambitious project inspired by "golden-age of RPGs". Studio funded by Korea's Krafton.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. Mass Effect-alike by Russia's, no... erm ummm Cyprus's Owlcat. Featuring traditionally attractive female characters in the key art is a massive GREEN FLAG, so they're off to a good start already.

Exodus: From a lot of the actually talented people who worked on Mass Effect trilogy (eg writer Drew Karpyshyn), so I'm cautiously optimistic. However the studio is owned by turbo racist company, Grand Wizards of the Coast (Eg recently (https://boundingintocomics.com/tabletop-games/dungeons-dragons-to-replace-inherently-racist-half-species-system-with-new-children-of-different-humanoid-kinds-mechanic/) erased the concept of half races from D&D. (https://thatparkplace.com/dungeons-dragons-executive-producer-kyle-brink-who-wanted-white-men-out-of-the-hobby-is-no-longer-working-at-wizards-of-the-coast/) Employed a racist.) They're getting the side-eye until proven otherwise.

An indie horror game that I'm surprised hasn't gotten more attention. It's a mix of a survival horror/dungeon crawler with a PS1 aesthetic.

On another note, I first thought this was Bioshock 4 when the trailer first debuted before realizing its a new IP from the folks an inXile that looks promising.

Yeh Labyrinth of the Demon King is very cool, like a horror Kings Field, with extra weirdness.

Xbox news:-

* -Perfect Dark (Californian man-jaw) reboot has been cancelled. Its developer "AAAA" studio The Intiative has been closed. (I remember they poached talent from Neutered Dog and Soyny Santa Monica when they formed this studio, LMAO.)
* -Rare's long in development hell MMO Everwild has been cancelled.
* -The new MMO from TESO developer has been cancelled.
* -Forza Motorsport developer Turn 10 has had 50% off layoff of the entire studio.
* -CoD studios Raven Software and Sledgehammer Games hit with layoffs.

A bunch of slop gets cancelled and hopefully AAA industry inches closer to imploding. Genuinely great stuff, burn it all down.

Hopefully someday they can lay off enough people to ensure that every woman's face is a perfect inverted triangle.

This just can't be a good thing:

(In a massive shakeup, Subnautica creators and Unknown Worlds co-founders have been replaced by The Callisto Protocol studio CEO months before Subnautica 2's early access launch) In a massive shakeup, Subnautica creators and Unknown Worlds co-founders have been replaced by The Callisto Protocol studio CEO months before Subnautica 2's early access launch

Yeah, whatever it means in concrete terms, it sounds bad. Even if they brought in a good person, doing so this late in the process is odd, to say the least.

I thought the Perfect Dark remake looked compelling, so that's disappointing.

And regarding Subnautica 2: I know it's just the nature of the business, but it still bothers me how IP works outside of literature and music. I know it's fruitless and naive, but it still bothers me.

So here's a new Beatles album with brand new original songs. John, Paul, George and Ringo had nothing to do with it, but we own the rights, the name, and we put a lot of money into it, so now it's officially a new Beatles album.
