Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy coming later this year with 'modern gameplay enhancements'

If this is a proper remaster, I'll be excited to play GTA SA with modern graphics but with no gameplay shots and coming out so soon... I get the feeling it's gonna end up as a skip.

Rockstar likes to hype their products, yet this one has gone mostly unnoticed and only confirmed a few weeks before launch. So yeah, I don't have much faith in this ports.

'Kids should not be spending in FIFA full stop,' says EA

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, time to put some money in Electronic Arts' hat. FIFA 22 rocks up on PC, as ever, in a disappointing form. The main new gimmick, hypermotion technology, is only on the 'next-gen' consoles—and next time around it might not even be called FIFA—but one element persists: FIFA Ultimate Team, and the ongoing conversation about how EA monetises the thing.

Why does this remind me of packets of Cigarettes; warning you the dangers of smoking, lol. EA... never change.

Talking about remasters been playing Alan Wake on chapter 5 atm and having a blast with it. The last time I played it was about 10 years ago and it still holds up well today. While the graphics are a still bit dated (even with redone textures and models) and chunky animations, I love the story and unique combat using light offensively/defensively against the Taken. Really makes me excited for the sequel.

First thing they should do if they are really that invested in taking care of the kids is to add more safety measures to their microtranstactions, but we know how this things go.

One thing Alan Wake 2 will benefit the most, if Remedy uses a similar gameplay, is from ray tracing. That coiuld be something worth being experienced!

R* launcher exclusive and they are removing the OG's from Steam tho...

We also don't know if those remasters will be any better than the previous ports, as well as the OST's for each game being fully intact and not edited (because they were fucking lazy with license renewal). 

I expected the worst and to me it's pretty much happened for one part at least (being exclusive to a sodding client I've no desire to use and I don't like the fact that they are using it primarily for data logging). 

I really, really, doubt they'll go the extra mile to license all the songs again. At best they'll try to get new songs added that made it for the lack of the originals, but that will depend on the budget they've been given it and how much they care... and given that they'll only made the games available from their own store (on PC), I'm not very optimistic.

But well, we know consoles are their main target and PC is only an afterthought so maybe where the games being locked only to their own store is no base for how much work has gone into them.
