Paradox pulls Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 from dev, cans pre-orders
Paradox has pulled development of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs, delayed the game indefinit…

Woof, sounds like that Bloodlines 2 games was a bigger mess than the huge mess everyone already thought it was. It's been taken away from the current devs.
This boring ass shit is what they decide to show? The D2 remaster trailer looks way more exciting.
Agreed.
The class looks like it straddles D3's Monk and Demon Hunter, almost like the D2 Assassin but with added bows. I am intrigued.
The D3 DH trailer is still their zenith, as far as I'm concerned. It's the one with the most coherent narrative while dropping hints of so much more as backstory/epilogue.
Yes but that's mainly because of Nostalgia™.

Normally I'm skeptical of the "rumble messes up my aiming" argument, but in this case...
"Now I'm playing with power!" - Freddy Kruger, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare
Oh for fuck's sake. This episode better come to the PS4 too or I'm going to get pissed.
Big update for Subnautica: Below Zero, and an announced release date for the final product: May 14.
Have you (or anyone else) been playing Below Zero in early access? I got early access for Subnautica but not Below Zero, and I'm wondering how it compares to Subnautica, and whether it should be a day one purchase or a Steam sale purchase later on.
I've played quite a bit of it, though not to the end. I quite like it. I wasn't sure if I'd like the Seatruck, but I got to liking having a little mobile base.
Getting around on the ice is a pain the ass, though, especially in the areas with the ice worm things.
And now they've made it very clear that the Yuffie DLC will be PS5 only. Considering the general unavailability of the system, I suspect they back track on that... especially when they can't even justify putting Episode 2 on the PS5.
This is exactly what I feared would happen when they announced FF VII remake: the monetization. My spider sense was already tingling when they were splitting it up into episodes. And of course, no actual indication of such anywhere in the title; just "Final Fantasy VII Remake" as if that's the whole title, when it's barely even the first disc of the original.
Now there's DLC and you can only get it with the PS5 version. And now the mobile games.
I guarantee, this is going to get much worse before the whole remake finishes.

I’m confused. Is the next chapter of the FFVII remake coming out only on PS5?
They haven't said. I suspect they are being pressured to do such, but I also feel like they would sell more copies by doing a PS4 version.
Regardless, they haven't shown anything for FF7Remake Episode 2 yet.
Yeah, but being pressured to release something on a platform that isn't quite up to running it also comes with some risks. Just ask Cyberpunk 2077 what a good idea it was to release on multiple generations
Or Path of Exile on console. That sucked in so many ways.
I guess at some point, PS5s will be more available?

I don't really mind paying for each episode. I got 40-50 hours of playtime out of part 1, and I could spend more trying to 100% it, and to me that's worth my money. If each part was something like 5 hours of content for the price of a full game then I would hate it. But it was an enjoyable experience that left me wanting more.
I will happily buy each. I just hope that I can find a PS5 by then.
Yes, but that's the thing: we already KNOW the PS4 could run this. We have a PS4 version. It looks and runs great. If the next title is using the same engine (and it fucking should, because Square Enix has already said it's going to start using Unreal for stuff) then the -only- reason to make it PS5 only is because Sony paid them money.
Also, Square Enix isn't CDProjekt Red. It has more than enough manpower and technical expertise to port.
Which is weird, because teh ears in the Rogue trailer should have appealed to the same.
I mean i know it did for me.

Given the history of the Aliens franchise in video games, this could be amazing or horrible or anything in-between.
Aliens: Fireteam
I'm a little puzzled as to why it's only 3 player, though.

Zynga snaps up Torchlight 3 developer Echtra Games
Well that sucks, but by all accounts Torchlight 3 wasn't living up to the previous games anyway...
"The mobile publisher wants to bring its 'iconic licenses' to PC."
Oh dear God no.

"The mobile publisher wants to bring its 'iconic licenses' to PC."
Oh dear God no.There's a running "joke" on Twitter about it being a "dead game" because it's player base fell considerably since launch (which, I mean, that happens to literally every game).
But...yeah, this might kill it.
Meanwhile, the war between developer Frogwares and publisher Nacon just keeps getting worse.
Recently, Nacon put the game The Sinking City back on Steam after it had been pulled due to the ongoing legal issues. Except they used a PIRATED COPY, which Frogwares was able to not only prove but submitted a DMCA strikedown and had Steam remove it.
Now, Nacon is saying they were legally allowed to put an "adapted version" on Steam.
