Cancelled WITH layoffs. I mean the writing was on the wall for this one as soon as it was revealed.

More layoffs. Guess the EPIC exclusivity deals aren't working out for them and as usual the drones are the first ones to get fucked.

It really does feel like this industry is about to collapse on itself.

Wonder what they spent the 3Bn funding they received over the last couple years on?

Wonder what they spent the 3Bn funding they received over the last couple years on? Top of my head: needless acquisitions, Epic Store game exclusives that led to no meaningful increase in users, paying lots of money to those famous collaborators in the Fortnite crossover events, oh and the shareholders who don't care about financial difficulties, they want their fucking money. I have a dirty feeling that UE being the only engine in town is going to lead to some substantial price increases for Devs.

Damn that's awful. Mediatonic had a great thing going with the success of Fall Guys. After Epic bought it out and made it f2p I pretty much stopped playing, but I figured it'd continue to do well enough.
to lay off most of the staff not that long after acquiring them just seems shitty. Wonder what they'll do going forward now. Will be hard to support the game as well when most of your staff aren't there anymore, and that generally means dwindling players. To add insult to injury, I'm pretty sure that Fall Guys clone, Stumble Guys or something, launches soon on console.
I'm surprised Epic was hit so hard in general when they have Fortnite which seems to print money. Think maybe they made too strong a push in one direction and never saw the results they expected. Making a metaverse and having Creative mode compete with Minecraft/Roblox looked to be their long term goals but don't think are working out. Fortnite will still chug on but I thought of it as too big to fail before

Is it? Fuck. I don’t need it. I’ve just started Trepang2.
But I never played it back in the day. So really want to.
Sigh. I’m going to buy it aren’t I.

Did not know Trepang2 was out on console
"Players control an amnesic test subject who wakes up in a horizon black-site."
Sounds brilliant!

It's basically a spiritual successor to FEAR (which is, along with FEAR 2, two of my GOATs). Fucking loving it so far. Slo-mo bullets and limbs EVERYWHERE.

I hadn't given it much attention as the title makes it sound like a graphics engine demo
I've only played the first FEAR as I didn't think the sequels were any good. I don't know if it's the second or third game but I swear I've seen screenshots of the character you're supposedly playing in the first game and he looks like Charlie Sheen in Hot Shots. I've been thinking about replaying the first one for a while though
Is Trapeng2 a horror game? It is spooky season

Think it's been out for PC a few months as well so prob had a few updates. It's bloody good for what it is. They've nailed the gunplay. It is literally a new FEAR game in that respect. How the rest holds up I don't know, but that's a damn good start.

I’ll die on this hill maintaining the second game is great though. Yeah it’s basically the same idea from what I gather. You kill a lot of guys but there’s spooky shit happening as well. Still early on though as I’m not getting properly into it until I’ve finished the RE4 DLC

Overpass 2
Don't bother with it
I was probably one of the minority who enjoyed Overpass on the XBox & it was one of the few games where, in some courses, you actually had to use the throttle & go slowly over certain sections so that you had the traction to get through it & up the inclines. With the hill climbs, it took ages just to get through some sections, trying various lines before usually sliding back down the hill and it felt like an achievement to get past some areas
In Overpass 2, from what I have played, full speed usually gets you through and the way the car rocks about, it looks like it's going in fast forward. Graphically not much of an improvement, it has ray tracing but this cripples the framerate so performance mode is the best option
Very disappointed with it & probably wont stay on my Series X internal storage for long

It is. It's like they thought we can't compete with Doom so just did all weird stuff
Have you got the godmode power up yet?

Not yet. Just grabbed a cheeky half hour when I got home and did the first couple of levels. I don't actually think I knew that it was a modified version of the Wolf3D engine. It's bloody impressive they did this with it.

So...I just started playing Bloodborne today for the hell of it, never really gave it the time of day before after spending ages trying to beat Father Gascoigne and hitting a brick wall with Blood Starved Beast. Today I thought I'd give it a go and damn I think I'm really into this game, did Cleric Beast, Gascoigne, BSB and almost did Amelia on the second go. The only thing annoying me is the camera seems even worse here than FromSoft's other fare.

But are they reversing his policies, or is this a good opportunity for them to change nothing, claim the damage has been done, and that everyone just needs to move on now.
