I'm a big fan of the original Mafia game, which came out on PC and PS2 back in 2002 if I remember correctly. The PC version was highly regarded, and still is to this day, but the PS2 version was a really poor quality port. Even though I did play the PS2 version, I had a blast with it.
Now, 2K and folks are re-releasing the original Mafia game, but completely remastered from the ground up. It was supposed to come out this month, but was delayed until sometime in September. I plan to buy it myself as I haven't played since the PS2 version, and it's been well over 10 years by now.

So it seems that playstation is currently taking registrations to be considered for pre-orders of the new PS5. This means that only a select few will get first dibs on a pre-order, so in order to get in on that, you can set your spot at the link below.

It's only $20 on Steam and I think if you have PSN you can get it for free currently. I think $20 is a pretty fair price, but on the PS4 it's free. So if you got a PS4, I'd take advantage of that opportunity as soon as you can. 🙂 👍
Actually, just checked, and Fall Guys is available for free on PSN until the end of August. So you have 4 more days after today to get it for free.

I just want to see somebody other than the soulless, money hungry hyaena's at EA and 2K making these games, then at 90% of Thier problems could disappear.
I agree. I would like to see other studios jump in with new arcade style sports games. EA has been a burden for the sports genres in years, and has dropped the likes of SSX, NBA/NFL/FIfa Street and more. I would love to see a new SSX game again, but not in the hands of EA. And 2K, as much as they improve on their games over EA, they are still money hungry like EA.

One other game I think I could play forever, that I just remembered was Sim City 3000. I played this game so much, that I'm pretty sure I became a pro playing it. So I would easily fall back into the groove of that game if I need to play it for life.

Everyone in XCOM:Chimera Squad: These are psychopaths, who revel in violence, and plop disgusting jokes between kills, while acting like Karens in between missions.
Niko Bellic - GTAIV: A petty criminal who acts like a petty criminal even after getting loaded, what is there to like?
Michael, Trevor: GTAV: How could I like a selfish criminal and a violent sociopath? Franklin at least has some redeeming values, but not particularly likeable either.
What's his name? - RDR2: A plank of wood is more lively and interesting than this protagonist.
Max Payne - Max Payne 3: Let's be clear I love the original Max, I just hate the version written by Rockstar games. He is a miserable self loathing worthless burlap sack waste of space. Seems like a caricature.Geralt - The Witcher Series: A giant jerk, who constantly acts like an ahole, and is especially disrespectful towards women, I quit playing all three games because of my revulsion of him.
Wow you went to town on these characters. I agree with a few of them, mainly Michael and Trevor. Even though they had some good moments, they weren't redeemable people. As for Arthur Morgan, I gotta disagree on that. I may not have liked RDR2 as much as the first game, I still really like Arthur Morgan. I still prefer John Marston over him though.
Conner from Assassin's Creed III was someone I wasn't a fan of. He had his reasons, but I felt he was just blah as a character. I much preferred the elder Assassin that lived in his house or whatever. I forgot his name.

We've already seen the likes of PUBG, Fortnite, and Call of Duty make their way to mobile. They may not be perfect games, but for the most part they work on mobile. Do you think we'll start to see more triple A titles released on mobile? Maybe remastered versions of older games? I'd welcome some old games getting the mobile treatment. What do you guys think? I'd love to see PS1/PS2, Xbox, Gamecube and other games remastered for mobile. I think it could be possible at this point.
What do you think?

Weird to look at, but Sunset Overdrive is now a PlayStation exclusive. Sony now owns Insomniac Games, which made Sunset Overdrive. Expect to see this game dropping on the PS4 at some point. I don't think this will effect the Xbox One version, as I'm sure you'll still be able to purchase it from the marketplace. But who knows, they may have removed it from the xbox marketplace by now.
It's ok though, I'm happy Sony fanboys get a chance to play Sunset Overdrive. It's one of my favorite games! 😄

Medal of Honor is making a comeback. The most recent Medal of Honor wasn't well received at all. They gave it a try, but it failed. Now, they're bringing back Medal of Honor for another shot, and this time it's going to be in VR. It's going to be called Medal Of Honor: Above And Beyond, and the trailer is expected to drop sometime this week. Do you think Medal of Honor is back? Or will it just be another mediocre game?

Halo Infinite was delayed for the upcoming Xbox Series X. The console is still coming out, it just won't launch with Halo. I think this will be the first time an Xbox came out without a Halo at launch. Which is weird to me, but I'd rather they make a perfect game instead of a messy game.

Do you guys still own any gaming magazines? I used to get gaming mags from my local grocery store all the time. I always went for the PS magazine, because it always came with a demo. I always thought that was cool. I then subscribed to PSM for a few years, but sadly that never had demo discs. I also loved reading the EGM, Game Informer, and so much more. What about you guys? What gaming mags do you remember subbing to? Or just getting at a the store? What was your favorite gaming mag?

Yeah, Flash is pretty much dead at this point. I think sites like Newgrounds just use HTML5 now. Flash is also not very protected, so you risk getting viruses and stuff from sites that still use it.

I haven't really played many ROM hacks, but they're really popular. A lot of people make ones with their own sprites and graphics. It's quite cool. I wouldn't mind buying a few of the NES rom hacks out there. I'm always for trying newly made games from already established games.

That is cute, I want one! 😄 A bit pricey for me, but I would love to own one. With it being a LEGO product, and the amount of work is put into it, I can see the price being fair. Just not achievable for me.

I've yet to actually win a match, but I got to the final level. I got to the level where the platforms fall. I almost made it. It is quite a frustrating game though, that's for sure.

Nintendo has done some creative things over the years. They created the Wii, the DS, 3DS, and of course, the Switch. They always seem to re-invent themselves when things start to get bad. What do you think Nintendo would do next after the Switch line is done? Rumors are saying they're going to make a better switch in 2021, but what about the future after the switch has its final days? Will we see a traditional console from Nintendo? Or, will they continually upgrade the switch? I can see them doing the latter, because the switch just works. And it'd probably be simple for them to perfect it even more. What do you guys think?

According to many outlets, Nintendo plans to release an upgraded Nintendo Switch for 2021. Other rumors include that it may be in 4K, which would help them compete with the PS5 and new Xbox. Read more about this at the link below:

I'd love to see a 4K switch released. That'd be awesome!

Well I made a similar topic for the PS5, so I had to make one for the new Xbox Series X. What exclusive game are you most psyched for? It would have been Halo Infinite, but since it was delayed, there's not much I'm really excited for. I'd say, maybe the The Medium. That game looks like a scary spooky fun time. Maybe Scorn and State of Decay 3 too. Not sure. What about you guys?
-
The PS5 is nearly here, and with it will come a ton of exclusive games. The main game I'm interested in, Spider-Man: Miles Morales. I have not yet played the original Spider-Man on PS4, but have been meaning to for a while now. I suspect the new game is going to rock as usual, and on an upgraded machine, it's gon look pretty!
What PS5 exclusive are you most psyched for? And why?

I've built several, but that was during Win98. The parts you would need to build one are no longer made, so it would be just as expensive, if not more so, to build a current gaming PC. I still have an old PC that I use to play games like AOE2 and Diablo 2 on, but you're never going to find the parts to build one.
Yeah, I guess I didn't think of that. I've watched a lot of LGR videos about him building old PCs and he does explain the cost can be quite high. I wonder if I should just try to find a used PC from then and try to find parts as I go along. I may even have some old PCs lying about that I could take some parts out of maybe.
On 8/6/2020 at 6:27 PM, Shagger said:This sounds lie something more easily done through being cleaver with software rather than hardware, but I would admire one for trying this full on old school. If you go tough with it, I wish you the very best of luck.
Yeah true. There are a lot of ways to make old media work on newer devices. And thanks! 🙂

Nonetheless, this sounds such a fresh concept and a fun project to partake. My suggestion to you would be looking at some YouTube tutorials on how to build a PC for older titles.
I actually watched that video a while back. I could probably do this with one of my old PCs.
On 8/23/2020 at 11:51 AM, KuroInDistress said:You could use a Raspberry pi for this if you only want to play older games.
I actually have a raspberry pi for retro console games, got the retropi set up and have NES, SNES, and a bunch of other games. I haven't tried DOS or any PC games on it though.
On 8/24/2020 at 3:35 AM, skyfire said:Yeah but the thing is that it would be bulky and not something a lot of people prefer.. you need to design box for yourself if you are going with raspberry pi.
I disagree. I have a raspberry pi myself, and what I did was just buy a bundle case set, which included everything you need including the plugin, SD card etc. I only spent $80 or so. The only downside is that I use it on my TV, so playing PC games on it at the moment, isn't going to work for me. But yeah, I wouldn't say it's bulky. If anything it saves on room.

From what I see, the devs announced they were making a port for the Switch, but nothing new has since come out of that. I found this article below:
https://screenrant.com/hatred-game-nintendo-switch-violence-controversy-why-release/
I remember people going crazy about this game, saying it was made to just be violent, which it was, but the violence from what I recall, wasn't as crazy as people were expecting. And supposedly the game wasn't even that good to begin with.
I have a feeling it won't release on the switch. But, we shall see I suppose.

My question is how you are going to jusitfy the monetization of that device? Who is going to make games for that old device? As is old device remade can't get much benefits.
Well all they would need is the ISOs like the PlayStation classic. Of course they need to get permission from the publishers and devs of the games they want on it, but it would be fairly simple. The only other issue is the fact that PS2 games tend to be hefty in size, so if it happens, the PS2 classic would need a lot of space. Which will cost consumers even more.
On 8/16/2020 at 3:18 AM, Oliver said:No. Reason is the games are too large. They'd have to spend more in bigger storage. That brings the cost of the console up to an unreasonable price.
True. That's my biggest concern. My guess is, if they do make a PS2 classic down the road, they won't have a lot of games on it. I don't recall how many the PS classic had, so maybe around that amount, or likely less.
On 8/23/2020 at 10:12 AM, Wolves said:I can't really see Sony releasing a classic console these days. Too much focus and development on the PS5 that there probably isn't enough time and money to roll out hundreds of thousands of newly manufactured devices. It would be awesome though, I had some fantastic times on the PS2. I remember 007 being my game at the time.
I don't think their core team would even be involved in the PS2 classic if it were to become a thing. I imagine they had a small team handle the original PS classic, and if they do a PS2 classic, they'd probably use the same team. But, I don't see that happening anytime soon. I think it's a ways off if it ever happens. Would be cool though, I agree. 🙂

I'm not sure about this, it just smells alot like this Destiny style "live service" crap with the RPG elements and the co-op. This isn't what people wanted out of a new Batman game. It's as if DC felt the need to put something out there to rival Marvel's Avengers, but why? The world already hates that game, we don't need another one. This will probably be better than Marvel's Avengers, but that's not saying much.
Yeah, I can see what you mean. I watched a gameplay video for the game, and it does remind me somewhat of Destiny, especially when they showed the Mr. Freeze battle. But, I have a feeling it's going to work out. I just hope it isn't like the Avengers game, because that game looks like it's going to be just about the money.
Here's that video:

Fall Guys seems hugely popular at the moment, and I can see it being a big esporting event soon enough. Maybe not on such a grand scale as others, but I think we're going to see more competitions with this game. What do you guys think? Would you compete in a Fall Guys event?
How many monitors do you have?

How many monitors do you have for your PC currently? I have two monitors. I mainly need it for work and also gaming. It has helped quite a bit. I also got a tablet from a co-worker that I've been using as a third monitor, mostly for work stuff.
But what about you? How many monitors does your setup have?
