Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuuuuck!!

I doubt the Expanse turned too much of a profit Both in its niche game IP and lackluster presentation.
Telltale also recently repeated history in spending money and buying out a studio ā€“ but they laid off people again.

Iā€™m getting really, really worried for Wolf 2 now. :grimacing: Will there EVER be a Wolf Among Us again??

A few years back I wouldĀ“ve been immensely hyped, but after what Kalypso did with the remaster(s), IĀ“m somewhere between oblivious to cautiously optimistic. The origins concept is something I wouldĀ“ve liked seeing from Mimimi, akin to Desperados III, and is a reasonable way to go (would be nice if Claymore could snatch some ex-Mimimi people now to help polish this). However, this trailer lacks any of the atmosphere the old games had (including Strike Force) and everything in it just looks way too artificial and plastic. ItĀ“s early footage though, so I certainly hope things will improve by the time the game comes out.

On a plus note, the handful of screenshots seem to indicate that there wonĀ“t be any censorship on KalypsoĀ“s part this time around (knock on wood), so hopefully that will be the case throughout the whole game. They really oughta patch those remasters and make them worth buyingā€¦

On a second plus note, the OG six is there, so at least thatĀ“s good. IĀ“d love to see Mateo Pascual back as composer as well. His music was a massive part of the experience.

Knowing the trajectory of Riccitielloā€™s career he will most likely find himself on the FCC board or some shit.

Also no shit that apology was written by ChatGPT I mean of course it was, they cheapened out with every other part of the game so why should the apology be any different?

And like that itā€™s over and Microsoft officially owns the series with the Airport Terrorist Mission.

Now letā€™s hope Microsoft doesnā€™t get over zealous and try to get more studios.

Remember, no studio acquisitions.

Five months ago, I lost 70 million dollars in the blink of an eye. And the Gamers just fuckinā€™ watched. Tomorrow, there will be no shortage of Xbots and no shortage of Gamepassers. I know you understand.

Except V-bucks donā€™t have tangible worth and canā€™t be exchanged for real world currency.

Now Robux on the other handā€¦.

Well thatā€™s surprising and pretty interesting!

I guess Remedy supplied them with a lot of official models since the quality lokks really authentic (to the originalā€™s basic art style)

Cool little advert they seem to have put some good effort into. Iā€™ll have to check it out.
(Little weird to have this sequel-promo in this kidsā€™-themed/demographicā€™d game, as the sequel is going for a dark M rating.)
But thatā€™s not stopped them from releasing wild dark collabs beforeā€¦

I was hoping Remedy would try to do something to get more people interested in the game but not like this. NOT LIKE THIS!!!
