God I love that template.

Interestingly enough, if not for Donkey's insistence, Farquaad would fuck over Shrek eventually. He was an asshole, and assholes do not stay true to their words.

It is already known it is a brand new sequel to Warped, which most likely will replace the old canon.

I haven't played the series much, but it looks to me like every other Crash game just with better graphics and one or two more gameplay gimmicks.

>>418515
Well, yeah. That's exactly the idea. It's for those of us who like that type of gameplay.

>>418519
Defund the critics.

So is Deadly Premonitions 2 good or just a try-hard attempt at recapturing the janky cult classic feel that got people to play the original?

People are making a big deal about PSPs and their batteries.

Should I bother searching through my storage stuff for my PSP before it explodes and burns the house down?

>>418551
As far as I know, rechargeable batteries don't just explode on their own - if they are broken, they just swell up, potentially cracking the case they are in.
If they are prone to exploding, they would do so when being recharged.

Sony was infamous for having several scandals in the 00s, that irreparably tarnished their name. One of those scandals involved exploding batteries in laptops.

I think the worst case scenario is that your old PSP is just dead by now, possibly have a cracked case.

>>418601
It's supposed to be, but it's PS4 only so I can't really play it until they make a PC port.

>Zangief is best street fighter

I've always known that.
They should change his block stance so instead of covering his head, he is just flexing his muscles.

Finally got around to re-playing Halo 2 on the Master Chief collection... it's been 14 years since I last played it, back when it came out on PC. I remember it looking better than this. But then, I may remember it wrong, the graphics do seem to be similar to what the standard was for those days. Simply polygonal shadows, one directional lightning, pretty much no shader effects. The only thing making it look better is the normal mapping (a very big thing in that era), ragdoll effects, and some parts of the terrain being destructible.

Incredible how far we came from there.

More Ratchet & Clank PS5 gameplay will be shown tomorrow, Thursday.

The shitfight between Epic Games and Apple has been funny

https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/28/21406013/apple-epic-games-fortnite-developer-account-terminated-no-longer-available

>>418631
The last good things Apple still have to their name are the iPon and iTunes. iTunes because it actually separates music from audiobooks from podcasts, and keeps EACH podcast paused for later. iPod stores the same info, and that is gr8.

>>418631
It's going to be especially funny because there's a good chance it will have further industry-wide repercussions.

In other news Lab Zero is going under, and Mike Z is such a gigantic cunt it beggars belief.

So that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 is out now.

Do you feel like a Superman yet?

Apple countersues Epic.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/08/tech/apple-countersues-epic/index.html

And honestly, while I have no love for Apple its fair to say Epic had it coming.

>>418646
Too busy playing C&C remaster and nuking the white house with a low orbit ion cannon.

It's odd though. Every game I've played in the past few years was either a remake of an old game, or a sequel to it. Maybe I'm just too old to try out new games now.

>>418647
I don't think Epic has enough pull to get through a legal battle with Apple.

>>418651
They thought their army of children would rally around them and horde Apple through the power of social media.

#FreeFortnite Fortnite Apple Ban Video “198Fortnite” (EPIC GAMES sueing Apple)

They had it all planned out and ready to go before they launched their lawsuit, the problem was most of their player base (a) don't care that much and (b) weren't alive when the ad they are parodying was out.

>>418616
Coc2 is actually a fun adventure game even outside of the hardcore fetish action.

>>418686
We are at a point where an actual sword would probably cost less than a high-end Geforce card.

So there's a big new Harry Potter game in the works, where you play as your OC learning at Hogwarts but in the 1800's?

Everyone seems to be going on about JK Rowling having gone from trying to be superwoke on social media to her having turned into a total nutter.
Meh, doesn't really matter, the books were always lame.

>>418700
Read it again, but with every instance of the word "wand" replaced with "wang".

>>418700
Just that, Rowling is a bad writer and both the plot and the worldbuilding was poor.

>>418704
Selling well is not an indication of quality writing, look at twilight.

>>418702
>its normal for a faggot like you to be obsessed with wangs, anon-kun

The point is that the writer hid their own wang obsession in the book.

>>418719
Looks like an okay game, but I wish it was topdown and not isometric. That shit plays havoc on my sense of depth and positioning.

Microsoft just bought up Bethesda (makers of Elder Scrolls, Doom, Fallout, Wolfenstein, Dishonored).

No, not making it up.

>>418723
Bethesda has been garbage for a long time, guess they finally had to seek someone to take them in.

>>418724
So then this was a good thing?

>>418725
Eh, will have to wait and see what the results of this are.

>>418640
Speaking of Lab Zero...

A bunch of staff formerly from it have come together and started their own studio

https://www.futureclub.dev/

>>418727
aaaahahahahah fucking lol.
I guess that's the end of that company. Shame because Skullgirls was really something that was in demand at the time (there were barely any quality 2d fighters when it came out, and it was the next best thing after Capcom took a shit on Darkstalkers). But now they basically run themselves into the ground.

>>418728
Its mainly down to Mike Z, he was a fucking psycho.

Apparently all this time he was a skeevy git, perving on chicks and generally being an autistic weirdo, and when people talked to him about his behavior he'd throw tantrums where he dramatically threaten to quit the company.

During the closing days of Lab Zero his behavior got worse and in the end he specifically fired EVERYONE who hadn't already left the company.
Keep in mind this was everyone who still stuck with him by this point and were giving their all to try and keep the studio alive.

>>418733
>There's some sort of development of a cereal-mascot based fighting game.

That's amusing because I have copypastas from that dating back to 2007.

Sega announced they'll be *doing something* with Virtua Fighter... the announcement mentioned "Virtua Fighet x esports" which sounds ominous, but at least they are finally doing something with what is the best fighting game series ever made.
