Do ya’ll remember games like Stranglehold on 360? Loved that game. I miss these games, third person non stop action with bullet-time and martial arts and crazy stunts. Using the environment to your advantage. Nobody makes these games anymore.

Imagine having a game in the setting of The Raid (maybe some levels taking place elsewhere for variety) and having those crazy fighting moves as combat system. Throw in some car chase bits that we had in the second one and done!

I’d love it.

The movie Hard Boiled, the prequel to the game, was great. The game was okay I guess.

Dead to Rights was another one. But I’m not sure I can come with a lot more similar games? Max Payne obviously but set in Asia etc.

Check out Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death on PC. Hidden gem, very much a low budget game that punches above its weight.

Edit: and of course, Vanquish, Warhammer Space Marine, and Binary Domain which are all more shooter types.

It’s also BC on Xbox.

Definitely start with 0. It’s an awesome game. We really do need more of these games. Asia is not used enough in sandbox games. If I had the money I’d become a publisher, get all the United Front Games people on board and have them work on a game similar to SD. I’d get some Rockstar people on board too for that bat shit insane attention to detail and it’s go time baby.

It’s nice to have dreams, that will never happen.

I actually started with that one! Got 3-4 hours into it and stopped when it left Game Pass. Bought it actually right before it came back haha.

Stranglehold was awesome, all the destruction you could do in that game was so fun

IIRC it had a crazy budget at the time which would make sense

[Doncabesa (Jesse Norris)]

Busy week, fun one though.

GSY Preview - Soulstice - Our thoughts in English

[TheBrightestSun]

@Delroy

I do, but I think it’s a decidedly less fun game than a lot of others that were out around the time - many from a prior gen.

Strangehold was bland - only an episode in the chinese restaurant was cool.

The one with the dog? I also remember Total Overdose was kinda fun.

Yep, with the dog. There was also a sequel. Total Overdose doesn’t ring a bell. I’ll go check it on Youtube.

But it’s probably not gonna be anytime soon that we’re gonna get more games set in a Asian location. Which is sad. Imagine a Mafia game set in Japan. Damn!

[TheBrightestSun]

@Staffy

Imagine a Mafia game set in Japan.

We have Yakuza

[Staffy]

@TheBrightestSun

We have Yakuza

True. But I mean with the freedom of Mafia games. Big open city, not as contained as Yakuza games I guess is what I mean. Cars and stuff.

Announcement incoming?

Marvel Midnight Sun apparently has had a delay. Seems to be correct, the article goes back to this one on VGC - Marvel’s Midnight Suns has been delayed, with no new date issued | VGC

[peter42O]

I need Gotham knights to get delayed to early 2023. Hehehe.

2023 is new 2022

Also

GAAP net revenue increased 36% to $1.1 billion, as compared to $813.3 million in last year’s fiscal first quarter. Recurrent consumer spending (which is generated from ongoing consumer engagement and includes virtual currency, add-on content, in game purchases and in-game advertising) increased 44% and accounted for 75% of total GAAP net revenue.

75% of revenue from MTX for T2. Crazy!

Don’t jinx it

Tech test. For August 12

Sign-up for future Darktide Playtest

[Sparda3g]

2022 is basically 2020 redux. Next year is going to be 2021 redux, especially on Xbox.

I think games and announcements wise 2023 is going to be a fantastic year for xbox fans

@Mort

Are you saying I should try Sleeping Dogs? I have it in the backlog somewhere…

I concur with others that it’s definitely worth playing.
