Wow really? There is so much competition that there are non-VR games that would dream about 10k concurrent players. That's crazy.

Tons of people destroying their furniture while playing.

Oh wow it was like the Wii again then!

Is that the one?

A bit hard to see how it actually plays from the video because VR, but it looks kinda cool.

At that point I have absolutely no idea what they're trying to do with that series.

They clearly don't care about the dozens of us (dozens!) that just wanted the end of that quirky little game from the 00's. So they'd want a new market for it, as was clear from that now old E3 shitshow... But why would those new players care about that IP at all?

A direct sequel, as good as it is, would have a tiny reception, and anything else would disappoint anyone who still cares about the first one. And I expect those to be vocal if not many.

What was the other one? i am not really following any kind of PvP shooters, but I wasn't aware zero-g ones was a thing.

Or is trying to be a thing, apparently...

Ceux qui n'ont pas besoin de conforter leurs idées pourries n'ont pas non plus besoin de passer leur vie devant une chaîne d'info en continu.

It's supposed to be the chronological order, and I imagine the games are separate enough, with only loose connections, that it doesn't really matter in this case.

Because really, chronological is not the best order for many stories.

One of the best known examples is Star Wars, where episodes 4-5 lose a lot of their power if you've seen the prequels first.

A video game example would be Beaten Kaitos Origins, which is IMO one of the best attempt at a prequel ever. It completely turns the interpretation of the first game on its head, and makes both better because of it. It would ruin the effect to play BKO first.

I think those were mostly from his predecessor, but yeah, the post seems well suited for weather vanes.

Just spew whatever bullshit is floating in the wind at the moment.

Perhaps perplexity has privileged pipelines for perpetrating its pumping purposes.

Oh yeah, you're right, that was a thing.

Wasn't there a bird game thing he was supposed to do on the side? I don't even know what happened to this.

I don't have much hope for that really. As I said, BG&E never was a commercial success, and republishing it twice doesn't seem to have changed much.

I am pretty sure they went for something completely different at E3 because they knew that fans of the first game were already not a lot, and part would have already moved on. They were not going to continue a story like 15 years had not happened in between episodes.

And now, we're 20 years later...
