I just saw that Chibi Robo will be included in the GameCube online library. What a fun game that was. We definitely need Twilight Princess as well.

Ugh. I'm changing internet providers to get a better deal and unlimited internet, but of course the plug and play installation is not working. I've been on the phone with customer support trice already to no avail. They were going to call me back to plan for a technician to come by, but no call up till now. I'm calling them again in 15 minutes.

Also, everyone I've spoken to sounded suspiciously Surinamese so I'm guessing customer support has been outsourced. I'm usually pissed even when I get to speak to someone in the Netherlands.

Half-Life 3 is now "playable, end-to-end" And it could release later this year.

Says some youtube influencer.  Quite the relevent nuance there.

It's a free upgrade if you own the ultimate edition.

It was the early days of the first PlayStation, and Kazunori Yamauchi was working on the very first Gran Turismo. You’ll remember that on the cover it said that the game was the “real driving simulator”. And you know, I’m not a game designer, I’m a producer first and foremost. During development, Kazunori Yamauchi showed me a prototype of Gran Turismo, and I was among the first to play it. And to tell you the truth, he was really serious when he talked about simulation (laughs)!

It was extremely advanced, perhaps too much so. But at first Kazunori Yamauchi didn’t take my feedback at face value, so he gathered around thirty consumers to test the game. And just as I expected, they all crashed without exception at the first turn, because the gameplay was so difficult. I was at the back of the room with Kazunori Yamauchi, at which point he turned to me and told me I was right, and that’s when he rounded things off and toned down the pure simulation aspect a little to put out the Gran Turismo you know today on PS1.

In a way, I like to think that I partly saved Gran Turismo’s fate, and that I played a small part in its success (laughs)!

It's that perfect balance between simulation and arcade that still makes Gran Turismo so much fun to play.

NeW Endless Ocean announced!

playable only in GTA 6 it seems.

I assume it's playable??

Watched the new GTA 6 trailer. Game looks amazing. I’m hyped.

I'm a bit skeptical that we've seen no gameplay. I almost don't believe the graphics will look like that in gameplay. Like the Yakuza 0 cutscenes vs gameplay.

I'm still amazed that Scottish developers are.so good at making games that on the surface feel very American. At least their British humour is satirical.
