Nobody Cares: Gaming Edition

[Noodles]

Hell has frozen over, the first Microsoft published game on PS5 is out. Age of Mythology: Retold. Age of Empires comes later this year and Forza next month. Gears of War is also on the way.
Hey great Satan of Redmond how about Starfield and Flight Simulator?

Forza Horizon 5 as well.

Niantic sold "Pokemon: go!" and other games to Scopely for around $3.5bn. Scopely is the maker of the Monopoly app. People are afraid the change of ownership might affect the management of this well known game.

I enjoyed the show, mostly. I'm biased to anything starring Julie Benz, and something with Graham Greene in it demands a watch.

I did not enjoy the MMO.

I'm not sure I'm up for buying a video game where the controller requires its own storage room.

Maybe you want a human version?

So sick and funny.

I am supposed to be going to sleep and now I am laughing in bed. This is counter productive here...

Ehhhh?

Isn't it a bit soon for a reaction? I mean, we have almost a year.

 

[Dakota Tebaldi]

Well, the URL is what's really piquing my interest, just the very idea that this is a game that's being worked on.

But, a year is so far away for such a very precise reveal date. Surely a year away from release the game is deep into the early development stages. I'd think most game makers wouldn't be confident enough to fix such a precise date at that stage.

Maybe they already have the development sewed up or nearly so, and they're planning a 6 month vacation before the launch?

This is a video about There.com. In many ways it was the predecessor to SL. I only poked my head in there a couple of times over the years but it is still going. There are still around 100 active users who are passionate about the world, the creations made and the friendships they have there.
