I love what they're doing with Doom theses days, making you feel like a badass playing the game. Like you did 20 years ago. The previous Doom was amazing and this looks nothing less.

Doom Eternal

I love the soundtrack but man I can't help wonder what Meshuggah would've done with the soundtrack, seems like the perfect collab.  :omg:

The game play for Doom Eternal is just insane. I can't wait to play.

That looks totally bad ass. I love how the Doom developers completely embrace the hack, slash, rip and tear gaming aesthetic. No high brow story telling for them. Warning: The Slayer has entered the facility!   :lol

Oh so apparently you can invade random players campaign as a Demon or even in coop with a friend, that's pretty cool.

I'm a PlayStation Plus member which means I'm eligible to download free games.  Downloaded Mafia III and really enjoying it.  I highly recommend it.  :tup

Square is delisting The Last Remnant for unknown reasons. In other words, you won't be able to buy it on Steam after September 4th. If you've already bought it, you're fine, but for some mysterious reason they're pulling it. I don't understand why they would do that... They're digital copies, they don't have to continue manufacturing it, why would they do that?

I'm baffled because although it didn't sell well and has no shortage of flaws (some inexcusable), I love that game and have played it many times. The battle system is incredible imo, the music and graphics are wonderful. The dialogue and voice acting has problems and the story is... well, passable, but there's nothing so bad that requires its removal from the market.

It's $10 on Steam. Please give it a purchase if you have never played it. It's very frustrating at times and has a lot of problems but the battle system makes it worth checking out especially for $10.

Usually when I see games delisted it’s probably because some form rights contract is expiring. I’ve heard a few games being delisted just because the music usage rights expired.

That's such a shame. I'm wondering if that's what's going on here, although I can't think of anything that would be a rights issue - every last thing in the game is wholly Square Enix owned, as far as I'm aware, with no third party material or licensed graphics/music/etc. in the game. :(

That footage looks awesome. Hopefully it comes out with-in the next year or so. That might be wishful thinking

Does anyone have any idea if they gave any time of release estimate?

The big estimate is 7.7.2020 (get it?!! 2077???) but with this game play release I think it might be sooner, they seem fairly confident in their product.

That game looks spectacular. 

Work was really slow and I was pretty bored in the evening so I spent a lot of time watching a lot of the top streamers all play SCUM yesterday for what seemed like a special showcase of the game before open beta I guess?  Anyway, I wasn't crazy about the game but it did look pretty cool.  What it and Cyberpunk reminded me though was that after a long lull of interesting games, we are finally starting to see some releases coming up that get me excited.

Add me to the Cyberpunk 2077 hype train. Looks amazing and I only imagine that it will look even better at release.

I can only speak for myself but since the teaser trailer in 2013, too actually finally see some proper gameplay is pretty exciting. Then again I totally get how hype can ruin things but atleast too me it looks exciting and also, atleast a year away from any form of release so i'm sure things will improve.

I only briefly started the game when it was free, but is Dues Ex open world or an RPG?

Combo of both, I really enjoyed the Dues Ex series and that clip for Cyberpunk definitely gave me Dues Ex vibes, but with a potential to be better.

Deus Ex is one of the many games I never finished.  I'm terrible that way.  :facepalm:

Yeah, Cyberpunk gave me Dues Ex vibes. But Deus Ex is more like a collection of hub towns with mission areas, rather than full on open world.  I was really impressed with Cyberpunk. But as with other (roleplaying) open world games, I think it is difficult to demo. Usually these games revolve around immersing yourself in a world and giving you the freedom to make your mark. Footage of some dude playing it for 40 minutes or so isn't going to give you that feeling.

That said, those who haven't played Deus Ex should check out Human Revolution (and it's sequel Mankind Dividided is very cool too in my opinion, but is overall seen as the lesser game).

On the last mission in Mankind Divided right now. I don't play many games in that genre so I don't know how they stack up to their counterparts, but they are definitely fun, well-crafted games with an interesting story and intuitive game-play. 

Below is a short video about the brilliance of Mankind Divided's world design.

Got the switch over the weekend! at first i wasnt sure if i would like the console. the hardware outside of the actual tablet seemed cheap and flimsy compared to my ps4. once i got it plugged in thought i didnt even care. I have zelda and mario. I put in mario first for the kids and i havent even thought about zelda yet. its that good.

All it needs is the handheld attachment to have a charge port. Other than that, its great. Haven't gotten to use the portability though.
