Saw RDR2 has pre-release DLC. That seems like a load of bull.

Depends on the DLC for me. If it's just cosmetics then sure have it. I'd like for them to wait a bit until the DLC expansion packs such as Undead Nightmare though.

I just don't understand why it isn't part of the game. Seems like a weird way to market it.

Money. And the game is 65 hours long with a gigantic map. It's not like they're skimping on the main game to push DLC.

Doesn't really move the needle for me. MGS and RRT4. Original GTA isn't good, and I have GTA3 and the rest on my PS4 already. The original Tony Hawk Pro Skater might've sold it for me.

Woof. I know that the Crash trilogy just recently came out and it hasn't been a Playstation exclusive for many years, but how can you have a Playstation Classic without Crash Bandicoot? That's like the NES classic without Super Mario Bros.

[dodint]

It wasn't my cup of tea (my little brother played it) but no inclusion of Spyro seems odd to me as well.

[nocera]

Also no Silent Hill, Symphony of the Night, Tomb Raider, or Twisted Metal 2 (huge step up from 1). That's gonna be a no from me, dawg.

Dubbed, Spyro + Crash Game Bundle, the listing reveals that perhaps unsurprisingly it will release alongside the launch of Spyro Reignited Trilogy next month on November 13. Further, it offers a pretty fair price for the pair at $59.99 USD (each game runs at $39.99 USD).

For PS4 and Xbox

Fun fact: My college roommate's best friend growing up was Jason and Andy's first artist hire at Naughty Dog (guy called Bob Rafei). Together with Insomniac, the two companies were the main 3P launch developers for PlayStation at Universal Interactive Studios, with the first Crash and Spyro games. We all used to hang out socially back in the late 90s-early 00s. Ted from Insomniac had a house in my neighborhood, and it was in his living room at a Halloween party that I first saw the Pam Anderson/Tommy Lee sex tape. It was just running on the TV in the background. Woot.

I have never played Spyro, and the only time I've ever played Crash was the mini-game in Uncharted 4. Oh, the fun.

Banjo Kazooie is the best of the 3, but all are good games.

Rocket League IRL (10th scale)

[eddy]

Do I want to get rocket league for switch or Xbox?

[Viva la Ben]

I’d get it for the Xbox if your kids want to play too. If the switch supports multiple accounts then it really is which system you like better.

I’m hoping for some switch BF deals.....all three kiddos want their own.

Can you hook up multiple switch screens to play together? Target has buy 2 get 1 free video game sale this week, but of course Nintendo excludes all of their own ips

I agree.. Destruction Derby kind of cool, but I think I was always playing DD 2 as a kid (?). Twisted Metal 2 much better than TM1. Overhead GTA, no thanks. Tony Hawk was a gimme layup that they missed, it was always so hard to do a 900.

Probably a no go for me.

Sidenote - I am Xbox now, but man I wish Twisted Metal would continue on. LOL - I bought the newest one for PS3 when it came out and it wasn't too bad at all , but the flying sweet tooth with souped up machine guns and the helicopter were a bit unfair in online battles. TM Black version 2 would be fantastic...

I understand why THPS didn't make the cut; licensing the music would probably be a pain in the ass. And the music was really a huge part of the game.

[tifosi77]

Typically, a license would be specific for X game(s), but it would cover the release on that game on whatever platforms on which the game was ever released. It's normal for these license to be perpetual, but there is a possibility the license might only cover releases made within a certain term.

I've been playing a new game called Insomnia: The Ark, which I like quite a lot but I cannot recommend at this time. It's a third-person RPG set on a interplanetary generation ship called Object 6. The setting is interesting, the art style is great, and the gameplay is pretty good. The environments remind one of a cross between Fallout and Bioshock. Object 6 has a sort of art-deco style, but after hundreds of years of travel, it's also run down and filled with junk. The problem is that even after a supposed eight years of development, the game clearly wasn't done baking when it was released. There are a lot of bugs. For example, the game comes from a small Russian developer, and its available in both English and Russian, but even when selecting English as the language a lot of map text and the like will still be in Russian. Supposedly the people playing the Russian version are seeing a lot of stuff in English. I just got a quest where the entirety of the text for the quest in the in-game journal is in Russian, and since I can't read Russian I have no idea where I'm supposed to be going to finish the quest. There are reports all over the Steam message board of other game-breaking bugs. The developers are active on the message board and have issued multiple patches so far, but they clearly aren't done fixing. I think Insomnia could be a really good game once the bugs are ironed out.

The Russian quest language cracks me up for some reason.

BF1 will be free on games with gold tomorrow on XBone. You can get the BF1 premium pass today for free, and have access to all of the DLC tomorrow.

All this Tony Hawk talk has me wanting to play it now. I still have 1 and 2 for my N64.
