I was hoping that with the MS acquisition they would consider outsourcing another Fallout game to Obsidian but that's probably wishful thinking. I think the next Fallout game we will get will be Fallout 5 and that won't be for many years sadly.

I'd rather drive than continuously look over my shoulder to see if the autopilot is driving properly.
At some point, people are even gonna sleep during a ride, with not a care in the world, other than perhaps the fear of the fact, now an anomaly, that some people are still stubbornly manually driving cars around them and that those people are most likely either very old and dangerous or young and still crazy.
Or is manual driving will simply be banned eventually? Or have a special permit for special circumstances only that is very hard to get?
It's gonna be interesting however it goes.
Yea I doubt self-driving cars are going to be mainstream in my lifetime. Can a Tesla even detect and avoid potholes? I searched, but couldn't get a clear answer on that.
I'd like to see a self-driving car drive across the entire continental United States and back, through rural areas, heavy traffic, road construction, snow/icy conditions, across mountains, etc. all along a route that is NOT pre-planned out. Just give the car a destination and let it go. If it comes back in one piece, then I'll be impressed.
I can't even tell what kind of game this is supposed to be. And that faux cel-shading effect isn't doing the aesthetic any favors. It looks weird. Minecraft Dungeons was a fun distraction though, so maybe this will be fun.
Looks like a fun sandbox game, but the gunplay looks less than stellar. Hopefully there's some interesting side-quests because I fully expect the main story to be dull and forgettable as it always is with their games. Still looking forward to it.
The sound design was totally off in that trailer. It was really weird. Everything sounded too 'clean' like stock sound effects were just added in without any additional processing or anything. No ambient sounds. Voices too clean and sounded disembodied. Visually it was fine but it sounded really odd. Hopefully it's just an issue of being rushed to get the trailer out, and not something that will carry over to the actual game when it comes out.

Did they hire a real writer this time, or they still using that same guy?
No writers. Todd has uploaded his consciousness to a supercomputer and it has been merged with the updated Radiant AI. It will be used to construct a story, narrative, quests on-the-fly. No more need for so-called "writers".
They delayed the game to give them extra time to figure out how to decouple the physics engine from the framerate. No video game has ever been able to do this before. They'll be breaking new ground. You can do it Bethesda! I believe in you!
16 times the detail requires 16 times the crunch.
The Quarry looks like a winner. Nice to see such positive reviews. I've been waiting for a worthy follow-up to Until Dawn and it looks like this is it. Until Dawn perfectly captured the feel of an 80s B horror movie - cheesy as hell, but in a good way. This looks similar.

I'd actually respect them if they just came out and said, 'We believe in the freedom for people to choose how they live their lives but were not advocating for or against a particular lifestyle so as not to alienate any of our customers.'
That's pretty much what they're saying though. They aren't advocating for or against the LGBTQ+ "lifestyle", whatever that means. They're not advocating for special rights or anything. Anyway the important part is here is them donating to human rights organizations. That's a positive thing IMO.
This is still better than doing nothing, especially if they follow through on their promise of donating to human rights organizations. Obviously this is a PR thing, but if it results in a positive outcome then it's fine.

A populace terrified irrationally is a populace easily manipulated, suborned, and deceived by unprincipled politicians.
Well you got that part right. We call those people Republicans.
Just play the game in your car while making DoorDash deliveries and you're revenue will cancel out your spending. It will be like getting the premium experience for free!

Forget Quake.
Where's my fucking DAIKATANA remaster?
That's what I want to know
You don't taint Daikatana with a remaster, remake, or by playing it on a modern system. You go buy yourself a 3DFX Voodoo3, Pentium 4 processor, and 1024x768 CRT monitor and play it on Windows 98 the way it was meant to be played, bitch! Sorry for the name calling! I'm jesting of course!

Unreal was great but I don't think this is really needed. Unreal multiplayer was not as groundbreaking as Quake multiplayer. I love the Quake remaster but I wouldn't bother with this one. Unreal Tournament is a different beast altogether, but vanilla Unreal... might be fun to play through once single player, but that's about it.

I hope this fails, but it's mobile and it's Blizzard. It can't fail.
Financially, it will be the most successful Diablo game ever made, by a country mile. I hope I'm wrong though.

I hate to admit these days to being a Blizzard fanboy, but damn. This game is pure garbage. I think it cured me of that. Was I crazy or were there no settings at all? I didn't even bother starting a game because the main "menu" looked like a blurry mess. Lasted about 2 minutes on my computer.
There are a few basic settings you can change once you start a game (can't do it from the main menu). However, you can't change resolution. You can't make it look like a PC game. The UI is pure garbage. I think it's silly to just excuse that away, as some people seem to be doing, just because it's a mobile port. If it sucks, it sucks. And it sucks.
Fine, Blizzard, you can have your mobile, whale-exploiting cash cow. Just keep that crap out of Diablo 4 and I'll be ok. Looking forward to their press release where they brag about the obscene revenue they'll be making from this.

Before this trial I paid no attention to the situation and just assumed he was just another Hollywood wife beater and Heard was probably being smeared by a bunch of retarded incels and there wasn't much to the allegations against her.
This case really is an incel's wet dream though. That community was all over this case like white on rice, because they love to take down 'powerful' good looking women. It turned out in this case that Heard really was that bad, but now they're going to use this to misogynistically paint all good looking women as gold-digging psychos. Incels gonna incel.
I thought neither would be found liable because how difficult it is to win a defamation case, like Hardline Mike said, so I'm a little surprised at this outcome. It doesn't hurt that they are swimming in cash and can afford top notch lawyers to represent them. I think Amber Heard's career is fucked after this.
