I guess there was going to be a Hellraiser game on the NES, but it never came out. Probably wouldn't have been good, but I could have been wrong. Anyway, I think a game today would work perfectly in that world. I imagine you would play as Kirsty or a completely new character. Probably won't get to play as Pinhead though. I could see it working. I watched it. Liked the first season but the second season was pretty forgettable imo. But, I could see the premise working as a video game, especially being able to come back in a new body. Instead, maybe it could be a game where you come back as a new person each time, but still have your skills and all that. But, maybe it would be random who your next body will be. Nice suggestion. 🙂

Yeah I'll certainly keep that in mind. I will need to get some controllers for some of the games, as I need to have something that matches the real controller or it bugs me. I'll look into streamlabs and what they offer. Yeah, I figure with Skyrim, the only popular people playing it seems to be that grandma who has her own YouTube and everything. I don't know if I could bring anything new to the table. But, it could be fun.

Oh for sure. I would be making all kinds of stuff. From statues I'd put on my desk, to wearable items. I think it'd be cook to make cases for raspberry pi devices too. You can do so much with them. I bet someone already made a scouter from Dragon Ball Z. If anything, they might the 3D plans on a site somewhere for free. 🙂

Do you guys ever use racing wheel peripherals? I have an old one for the PS1 that I remember stopped working at some point, and I still have it sitting in my closet. I'm thinking of finally getting rid of it, and finally getting one for my PC maybe. I'm not much into racing games, but I think it'd be worth it to use a racing wheel. Speaking of that, do you guys have any good suggestions for driving wheels for the Xbox One and PC?

Do you think we could ever get a Manhunt sequel? Manhunt 2 came out in 2007 and we haven't had a new game in the series since. Do you think Rockstar would ever produce a 3rd game in the series? I would welcome it, but I suspect Rockstar wouldn't want to deal with a sequel in today's political climate, at least not yet. What do you guys think?

I'm mainly asking for smartphone games, but I'm open to other games on other mobile platforms. Anyway, are there any good open world games available on mobile devices? Something that's more sandbox style, maybe with driving, or anything medieval. Just something open world where you can travel. I don't really see stuff like that on mobile much, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

Lately the Xbox One has been gradually updating the dashboard look, but there is expected to be a new dashboard release this week (though some may already have it?). If you check the home menu, it now has highlights around the buttons, and shows a circle with the amount of people online. Actually looks quite nice. Anyway, not a whole lot is being changed otherwise, it'll still be the same, but with some added changes. And good news is, it's expected to run faster then past dashboards did.

That's quite impressive. Call of Duty Mobile has surpassed 300 million downloads only in just one year. I wonder if we'll see an increase in more downloads. Could they maybe make it to 600 million? I downloaded it a while back and gave it a try. It was alright, but I don't think I'd be able to play it for long unless I got one of those controllers for mobile phones. Check the video out for more details on this news. \

It really depends on the game for me. If it's a GTA, of course it's gotta be an open world game. But, if it's more of a story driven game, with not much to do in the world it's set in, then a linear game is totally fine imo. Sometimes games don't need to be massive open worlds, because in order to have that, it needs stuff to do. That's why games like Mafia 1 and 2 for example, are more linear games, because once you complete the stories, there isn't anything else do to. And that's ok, because sometimes, a game can rely on the story and gameplay alone to sell it. These days I prefer a mix. I like a simple game from time to time, that doesn't have a massive world to get through. But, there are games where I want exactly that, a sprawling world that you can investigate whenever you feel like it. If I had to really choose though, I'd say sandbox games, mainly because of there being a lot more to do. But, linear games have their place as well.

Even so, that thing is going to take up a lot of space, even laying horizontal. According to The Verge here, the PS5 is going to be the biggest console in modern history. It is going to be 15 inches tall, so around the size of a smaller PC or so. I'm sure gamers will figure out how to place it in their entertainment center, but it's going to be a tough fit. Now imagine owning both consoles, it's going to get crammed.

Yeah, Mixer was an utter failure for Microsoft, and that had to of been a major blow to them money wise. Didn't they pay him hundreds of millions? And for sure, he'd still be popular even streaming on the worst streaming platforms. And I wouldn't really say different, as he was on Twitch in the beginning and is back there again. At first I thought he'd jump to Facebook Gaming, since that's what Xbox did. But that's a good thing he didn't, because who wants to stream games on Facebook these days?

I saw some gameplay of it, and it looks scary good. The gameplay I saw was alpha and looked weird, but hopefully they fixed that before release. Anyway, it kind of reminds me of a mix of RE7 with The Evil Within. I might have to get it for a Halloween stream one of these nights. 😄

I have an update, so I do have a game in my collection that seems to be somewhat rare. I have the PS1 version of a game called In the Hunt. I made a topic here about the game. 👉 Here. I'm not able to find anywhere selling the game aside from Ebay, which has the same exact copy I do, going for $459.99 here. Mine looks to be in similar shape, but does have some markings and scratches, and portion of the cardboard is coming off. I decided to check the two other long box PS1 games I have, Agile Warrior F-IIIX and Warhawk, but they aren't worth much. But In The Hunt, in the long box at least, seems to be quite rare. While the jewel case is also going for like $200 or so. I also noticed some people just selling the disc for like $100+. Wish more of my games were this rare.

Does anyone here remember this game? It came out on the PS1, Sega Saturn, PC and arcades back in 1993 and again around 1995/1997 (Saturn,PC/PS1). I had the PS1 version in the big case as a kid. I remember having a blast playing this game. It got really tough though and I never finished it. I still have it in my collection too. Maybe one of these days I'll finally complete it. Anyway, from what I remember, you play as a submarine that can shoot projectiles such as missiles. You can shoot up, down, backwards (i think a powerup) and forward. There can be a lot going on at once in this game, but it's such a blast to play. On a whim, I decided to look into what this game was worth, and it's going for like $200-$400 used, but complete. My goodness, I found the rare game I own. 😄

You know how with Nintendo Online, you get NES and SNES games included. Do you think N64 and GameCube will be included in options like this? So a section just for N64 and GameCube, where you can go in and play a group of popular games on each console. They could easily do something like this, and it would certainly draw me in more, as I have wanted to get myself a switch forever now. I'd even like them to add options for Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Advance. Hell, while we're here, maybe even sections for DS/3DS games, because that'd be awesome on the Switch. Unless they already have something like that? I know they have the marketplace where I imagine some of their popular games can be purchased, but I'm speaking in terms of what online offers you with NES/SNES games. It could work for other Nintendo consoles. Maybe add paid tiers for N64/GC, and even the handheld consoles.

I don't get why character customization for a lot of games feels lacking. I just want a game where I can make my guy look almost identical to me. So, It got me thinking, why don't more games do what NBA 2K/WWE 2K series does with their custom face uploader? In those games, you can upload your face and put it on a custom character. Of course the results aren't great by any means, but it's a start for sure. I'd love to be able to upload my real face, put it on a character that looks like me, and then play in that world as me. It'd be so cool. But, most games these days limit it to skinny avatars or some with just a little weight. What if I want a fatter dude running around in RDR2? We're at a point in gaming, that devs could easily find a way to input a players face. I imagine with next gen, face models are going to look brilliant. I just wish they would give us better character customization for more games.

According to a post on Twitter from DOMO Capital Management, the recent deal Microsoft made with Gamestop, will draw a portion of revenue from Xbox digital sales into Gamestops pockets. As well, someone asked this group on Twitter, would Gamestop get sales from all digital games or just consoles sold from Gamestop, and according to what DOMO said, it looks like they will only gain profit if you purchased the Xbox from a gamestop store. So if you got an Xbox elsewhere, Gamestop gets no cut. At least that's how I see it. You can read more on this below:

The newest PS4 firmware update, simply titled 8.00, is causing some issues for PS4 owners. Some gamers are saying they're getting error code WS-44369-6, which has been mass reported to the PS4 reddit page since. Supposedly, the issues people are having is mostly with their friends list and party chat options. Others are reporting slowdowns and crashes. With some also saying the PS4 takes longer to shut down and restart. Has this update caused you any issues? Are you waiting until this is sorted before updating?

Yeah it's very confusing to consumers. Especially when it comes to parents, grand parents, etc. They're not going to know the difference between an Xbox One X and an Xbox Series X. I bet stores are going to see a lot of returns after the Holiday season lol. They should have just called it the New Xbox and be done with it. Or just Xbox. Or idk, go with the actual code names some of the consoles get. What was the Series X code name? Project Scarlet or something? If so, just call it the Xbox Scarlet or something. It rolls off the tongue better than series x and certainly won't confuse consumers.

Did you know Apple tried their hand at making a console already in the mid 90s? I can see them trying again, but I don't know if they would try it anytime soon. Plus, their iPhones, iPads, and Macs make them enough money, so they really don't have to.

Yeah, I agree on that. I haven't played it much as of late, and I haven't heard a whole lot about it in recent weeks. But, they recently added an update, so it's starting to get some traction again.

Ah this looks adorable. I never played anything in the Disgaea series, but this looks like something I'd be into playing for sure. Sadly, no switch yet, but soon enough I'll have one and can try out all of the great games I've been missing out on.

I imagine that would be coming out for both the PC and mobile versions of the game. It's very likely the DLC that's being spoken for, is a patch that the devs want to make to update the game a bit. I don't see it costing gamers any money, but I could be wrong of course.

Remember when fast food joints or brands like pepsi had their own video games? Like Burger King with their lineup of games during the Xbox 360 release. Like Sneak King, that kart racer and I forget what the other was. Anyway, McDonalds had their own game with McKids I think. So, why is it that more companies haven't done their own games? As campy as it is, I think it's cool when companies like Burger King decide to release free or cheap games with their meals. It gives gamers some extra games to collect, and who knows, maybe they'll be worth something in the next 20 years lol.

Interesting. I don't recall many great games from them. They did Crackdown 2 and 3 and most recently a game called RADtv. Rockstar purchased the studio and renamed them to Rockstar Dundee, as they're based in Dundee Scotland. What do you think will come out of this studio for future Rockstar titles?
