Yeah, the more the series goes on, the more I think the first was their lightning-in-a-bottle moment.

I dunno about that. VC 2 was really good, and 3 apparently followed suit, with their only downside being that that they were released exclusively for the PSP. Sega's big problem wasn't that they couldn't follow it up, more that they just kinda futzed around with side projects instead of giving it a proper sequel on a big console.

Ghosts of Tsushima looks interesting. Stealth action always appeals to me and it looks like the art will be dope.
Hong Kong Massacre is Hotline Miami rebooted, no?
Seems the PS4 has loads of great exclusives. Imma have to get one finally.

Into The Breach is the next game by FTL-devs Subset games.
Much like FTL it seems to be a game whose brilliance can't be conveyed via video, so here's (

It's a lot like Invisible, Inc., while simultaneously being an entirely different kettle of kaiju. What's similar is that I can spend so long mulling over the consequences of a single move - it's amazing, because it shows you the consequences. There are no dice rolls, no random elements beyond the actual layouts and enemy placements. It gives you all the data and then you have to figure out how to make use of it.
I am suddenly very hyped for this. Turn based tactics games with no (or a minimum of) dice rolls are the best kind.

Also, damn.

I think I'd be more impressed if I hadn't lived a year on Tsushima and didn't realize it doesn't actually look like the island ... except one shot with the mountains in the background could pass for around the area where I lived. As an open world samurai game it sounds very cool anyway.

At the very least, I know that Icemann will be stoked.
Looks like we're getting another Universalist Judeo-Christian Pan-Hindu Buddhist Shinto Pokémon sequel, and this time, it's coming to the Nintendo Switch!

The Game Awards just happened and a bunch of trailers for new games were revealed.
Campo Santo's next looks intriguing!

Death Stranding gets increasingly weird and terrifying.

Witchfire, a gorgeous-looking FPS from the Vanishing of Ethan Carter devs.

Aaaand (
https://www.polygon.com/2017/12/8/16749576/death-stranding-zelda-soulcalibur-best-trailers-recap-tga-2017) here's a pile more. There's a new Metro game, a Zelda DLC that has a motorbike in it, Bayonetta 1, Bayonetta 2, Bayonetta 3, a new game by From Software, etc. Nothing you're interested in probably.

God damn it, the Bayonetta series remains exclusive to Nintendo. Must I really buy a Switch just for one game? :(
Pleased to hear about Soul Calibur 6 though, about bloody time. It actually wasn't that long ago that I did a search for Soul Calibur news, "just in case", so maybe they were reading my mind!

I hadn't heard of any of those before. Witchfire in particular has caught my eye.
I wonder the FS team are up to. It looks very BloodBorney...
