It’s gaslighting by scumbag journalists and the industry as a whole. It’s why we are expected to tolerate more anti-customer practices like buggy releases, day one patches, always online single player, surveillance by law enforcement connected AI, costly subscription based models, digital only releases, and now remote deletion of games. Eventually, they’ll start cheering for remote bricking of hardware because you swore in an online match and mandatory retinal scans to access your console in the name of public safety. Remember when Paul Verhoeven films used to be cautionary tales? With the masses being conditioned to think that predatory business practices are acceptable this is going to be our future.
I take solace in the fact that the competence crisis will keep the dystopia avoidable or at least manageable. Resident Evil 0, Code Veronica Remakes Not as ‘Ambitious’ as RE4 – Report www.playstationlifestyle.net/2024/09/13/resident-evil-0-zero-code-veronica-remake-update-report/TBH, Zero and Code Veronica have always been sideshows to the other games. So expectations are far lower than the mainline games.

I wouldn't put it pass Capcom to shit out a cash grab like they did with Nemesis's remake that spent more time in development, but somehow offered less content than the original's one year dev cycle. I decided to replay the game after 3 years last week, and the 'Live Selection' system or the Operation Mad Jackal mini game being cut still hurts the replayability of the game. It's ammo crafting system is vastly inferior to the original's in regards to combinations/options, no cryo rounds or item and enemy randomization, they cut clock tower, the iconic Dead Factory was turned into a generic NEST 2 which used recycled assets from RE2 remake's NEST map, and Jill was only given 3 costumes compared to the original's 6.
I thought that time would dampen my seethe but nope.

No randomization? WTF? Do these companies not understand that a randomization mode, especially for NG+ is a good way to increase longevity, not just for the player but for a larger audience via streaming? I wish this mad dash toward pretty graphics would stop and more attention could be focused on complex subsystems.

Modern day, 64 Player Matches and getting rid of the specialist system. Nature is healing but Zampella is a bit of an asshat though.

Same with Ubisoft’s Mentorship Program and WB Games: In theory, it is illegal to discriminate in regard to gender for job related opportunities in both France and the United States. In practice, discrimination is allowed as long as the “correct” people are being targeted. Cultural brainrot in action.

Neo-marxists believe that meritocracy is racist while pushing discriminatory practices themselves. It's blatant nepotism, lmao.

I feel like this is less a news thread and more an "everything I don't like in the gaming industry, or the world" thread.
