A Change.org petition that calls for Sony to greenlight Days Gone 2 has amassed over 50,000 signatures. The petition was launched in early April, and it has 56,000 signatures as of this writing. As noted by VGC , this news follows a report from Bloomberg that states that developer Sony Bend prepared a pitch for a Days Gone 2 that was rejected by Sony , apparently due to its "mixed" critical reception. That report also claimed that a remake of The Last of Us. (Days Gone has a Metascore of 71 on Metacritic; for comparison's sake, fellow first-party Sony title The Last Of Us Part 2 has a 93.) Since the publication of that report, and word that several key creative staff behind the open-world zombie game have left Sony Bend , fans and developers alike have expressed their frustration with the lack of a Days Gone 2. Director John Garvin stated in a conversation with Twisted Metal creator David Jaffe that fans should "buy a game at full ****ing price" if they "love it." … [Read more...] about Days Gone 2 Petition Clears 50,000 Signatures As Fans Lobby For Sequel

After 10 years, Dutch independent studio Vlambeer has closed its doors. Despite the surprise shuttering, the studio's last game, Ultrabugs , is still on the way. "Today marks Vlambeer's 10th anniversary, which is way longer than we could've ever imagined," the studio tweeted. "We had a beautiful run, made incredible games, and worked with amazing people, but it's time for new things. So we're announcing the end of Vlambeer." Vlambeer didn't specify what "new things" are coming for co-founders Jan Willem Nijma and Rami Ismail.

The Destiny 2 Guardian Games 2021 event is fast approaching. For years players have argued over which class is best in Destiny 2. Warlock, Titan, or Hunter: You stand by your choice and you die by it. Although, until 2020, there wasn’t really any way to find out, once and for all, which class was the cream of the crop. And that’s why Bungie introduced the Guardian Games... which Titans won and the community cried out for a re-run. So, ahead of the Destiny 2 Guardian Games imminent launch, here’s everything we know about this year’s event. What is Guardian Games in Destiny 2? The Guardian Games is Destiny 2’s newest seasonal event. First launching 2020, the Guardian Games pits each of the game's three classes against each other. You have another chance to grind for limited-time items—things like medals and laurels—while wearing an event specific class item to contribute towards a combined class total. Laurels are generated and dropped on the floor by players in all … [Read more...] about Destiny 2 Guardian Games 2021: Everything we know

This is a pretty big deal. Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne is another long overdue remaster and PC port of a cult classic from Atlus, coming less than a year after the success of Persona 4 Golden's PC success . So what is Shin Megami Tensei 3, and why should you be excited? I had the same question going in. I'm a longtime PC player and didn't own a console until late into my teens, so I missed out on all the JRPGs of the '90s and '00s. Even among JRPG players, Shin Megami Tensei isn't as well known as Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest: it's a series of odd, profane, and punishing adventures that alienate even genre fans. But after a few hours with the upcoming PC remaster I'm all in on this strange, horny, Satanic artifact from 2003, despite some major shortcomings in the graphics and display options. It's a disappointing port Update: An Atlus rep confirmed the framerate is intentionally locked at 30. The biggest bummer and banner caveat here: I'm hitting a 30 fps ceiling. A … [Read more...] about Shin Megami Tensei 3 is awesome, but deserves more than a barebones PC port
