Nightdive Studios if you're reading this message please do a remaster of Realms of the Haunting. No I won't take my meds.Nightdive has just released the remaster for an obscure FPS known as Killing Time. God bless them.
Duke 3D only came out like 6 months before Quake as well, I think it took at least a year or two before the FPS genre really caught up in terms of technology (with Unreal Engine, Goldsrc, Lithtech, etc). It's kind of funny that 2.5D shooters are popular again now.Also came to PC after Quake. Once Quake hit, you were full 3D or you were fucked.
Shadow Warrior and Blood would've done so, so much better if they had come out before Quake. Only reason they did even decently well was because they were exceptional. Basically all other 2.5D shooters? Yeah, sorry, graphics were king, we were moving at a breakneck pace, and your sprites as enemies were so last year, man.
Pssst, throw in Heretic and Hexen in there while we're at it, maybe Unreal too (iirc business director literally tweeted at Sweeney offering to do it)Nightdive Studios if you're reading this message please do a remaster of Realms of the Haunting. No I won't take my meds.

As reported by Insider Gaming, Ubisoft confirmed the cancelation of Assassin's Creed Shadows' early access during a Discord Q&A session. The company also reiterated it will not be moving forward with its plans of implementing season passes. Consequently, the price of Assassin’s Creed Shadows collector’s edition will be dropping from $280 to $230. The collector's edition will still come with a steelbook, an artbook, a statue, and more. However, there may be additional changes to those products before the final release.
Yep, this game is going to release dead on arrival and they're cutting their losses already. And I thought Ubisoft was so confident about this game lol, even told their investors everything was all good.Ubisoft Cancels Assassin's Creed Shadows Early Access
The Assassin's Creed Shadows collector’s edition will no longer include early access to the game when it arrives next year.www.gamespot.com

Silly things happening in the anime waifu gacha scene: the Blue Archive devs (a South Korean company) pulled a Coco. During a livestream celebrating the 3 year anniversary, the devs showed a info-graphic showing popularity by country (note: Japan is not included, as it is in its own server).

Yes, that is right.
The no-no square game said that not only is Taiwan an independent country, but so is Hong Kong.
The devs of course grovelled and begged for forgiveness but it didn't stop the tidal wave of wumao chimpouts and endless shitposts.
The surreal thing is: as you can see above, PRC isn't even in the top 5 and their apology above involves shitting on their main market.
Watching Ubisoft finally die is like Christmas coming early for me.>no early access because they don't want people to see how garbage it is during those 3 days and then not buy it on the official launch
>no season pass because they don't want to get stuck into producing garbage DLC for this garbage game like how Suicide Squad still had to fulfill season pass obligations
>employees going on strike because they want to keep working from home and not go to the office 3 days per week
>AC Mirage launched on Steam earlier this week to a peak of only 7.8k concurrent players despite being 50% off for $25
Ah yeah, this is going great
They've had FIFTEEN YEARS to make an Assassin's Creed set in Japan. Ghost of Tsushima took that from them and now whatever they make WILL be compared to Ghost and we all know it's going to be a bad comparison. Now that they're actually making the Japanese Assassin's Creed game, they forgot that the Japanese are the one country that's hyperautistic and defensive about their history. They finally fucked up at recreating the historical setting for once, so small things like banners and crests are being analyzed and called out, while there's also huge fuckups like the Torii gate and copying Zoro's sword. Even worse, they summoned the DEI hate train and 2024 is proving to be the year where woke games are flopping hard while games like "Militaristic Space Genocider" and "Masculinity Final Form" are two of the biggest hits this year. This is all happening off of the tail of that disastrously bad Star Wars Outlaws game, where they somehow made a Star Wars game flop horrendously.Watching Ubisoft finally die is like Christmas coming early for me.
In addition to that, the game itself is already looking pretty bad. From the gameplay trailers we got, we had the sword model clipping through the characters in full view, floating doors, strange level geometry, incorrect/inaccurate Japanese architecture for the time period, rough combat animations (where the characters also clip through each other), and implementing a dumb as fuck system where you're forced to switch characters despite saying that the game wouldn't limit you in choosing a play style.They've had FIFTEEN YEARS to make an Assassin's Creed set in Japan.

An Assassin's Creed set in Japan was put off because it was their "Break Glass in Case of Emergency". However it's now looking like the fire extinguisher is actually spewing gasoline, so it's made everything worse. This is 15 years of hubris and retarded decisions fomenting into a nuclear payload in their building like Johnny Silverhand nuking Arasaka tower.
