@Jawmuncher Super underrated. Wonder if this will stay in - surely it will?

"A Memory Palace is a technique that uses spatial memory to store and recall information. You visualize a familiar physical space and mentally "place" the facts you want to remember along a specific route."

Embracer says the new steward of its biggest game IPs will “more actively” explore external partnerships for franchises including Legacy of Kain, Saints Row, Deus Ex, and TimeSplitters.

@PaulTassi Does 007 count

Genuinely bizarre that Dead Space is so slept on. The remake was sublime in everything it did and the world was just so ripe for expansion. Huge shame that it's probably doomed to just be sat on by EA for eternity.

The Portishead drop in Mixtape is very good 😭

Saros finished. It's a huge step back from Returnal in practically every way except technical spectacle and the core combat loop. There's no reason to build craft, and I inadvertently finished three biomes in one go. Weird game, but ironically one I'd recommend to people BEFORE they try Returnal.

There's barely any reason to stray outside of a handful of the already small weapons pool they give you. The decision to make it more approachable makes sense but they over-corrected. By blitzing through so quickly, even with modifiers (which are not incentivised), I missed so much side plot too.

It will be a much needed retelling of the events of Star Fox 64

NINTENDO is now actively developing a STAR FOX film to be produced by Illumination.

This looks incredible visually and I like the idea of the expanded story and cinematics and what not but this is like almost the FOURTH time we'll be playing some version of 64 and like......I dunno.......🫪

My favourite thing about this clip is that the music depicted here is exactly as it appears in the film and to this day I've not been able to work out why

[James Berich @AtJamz]

Very conflicting thoughts about Saros so far as Act 1 closes - it's unabashedly Returnal but with all its edges sanded down but has anybody called it Doom Returnal yet 🌚

[James Berich @AtJamz]

Finished Pragmata in time for Saros. Enjoyed it - story blows and Hugh is boring - but the combat loop is super satisfying and stays fresh to the end. Not sure I see how a sequel could improve on the mechanics, but along with this and Kunitsu-gama I love that Capcom isn't resting on their laurels.

[James Berich @AtJamz]

@antonio232 @iriptheslitt Yeah. I'm doubtful the lightning in the bottle will be captured again, but we shall see. But so far I am mostly inclined to believe with you.

I also like......we have decades plus of characters to pull from and we choose Leon and Sherry and don't even MENTION Claire let alone include her. It makes zero sense to me the relationship that Sherry and Claire had that she would not mention Claire whatsoever in the face of everything. Especially given RE2R's most poignant moment was probably when Claire/Sherry speak after Annette's death.

I know people are like "RE STORY LOL" but idk commit
