My last console I got was an x360, I want to get a modern console to play UFC because they're my favorite fighting games. I'm trying to consider PS5 v Xbox, is there any consensus on which has the better exclusive this Gen?

Sony's modern exclusives aren't much to write home about, but Microsoft is increasingly moving away from having any exclusives at all and releases most of their games as multiplats.
While most people here hate SIE and the PS5 and don't want to say anything nice about them, they pretty much win by default.
The two consoles are nigh identical for most multiplatform games. Xbox has a larger library of old games through backwards compatibility, but you can play those on your 360.

Yooka Laylee is getting a remaster and it seems they're turning it into the game it (more or less) should've been.
I doubt this will adress some of the level design issues and one of my personal biggest gripes has been the designs of Yooka and Laylee themselves, they still haven't grown on me.

Pissmaster beat me to it, but unless JonTron is back in with some kind of official statement to make up for it, then they haven't learned their lesson and it's going to be the same junk as before.

It's almost impossible to make a good game out of The Thing. The action game from 2002 was somehwat decent, but only because you occasionally had NPC's turn into monsters when you weren't expecting it and you realize the character who was tailing along for the last 15-30 minutes was The Thing. They have dialogs and shiet.
Decent The Thing game should be something like action-adventure-rpg-detective set somewhere isolated, like spaceship or something. It should be similar to the Alien game, only with more NPC interactions.
Anythign else will fall flat.
 
A new Perfect Dark was announced. It's not Perfect Dark.

I can already tell the writing in this is going to make me want to hang myself everytime a character speaks. Gameplay might be good though I don't know.

Didn't NPCs randomly turn into The Thing even if you tested them because it was triggered randomly?

Also the best The Thing game is Among Us.

I can believe it. I know it happened when you hit certain triggers. So you could test them, move down a hallway, and they'd transform.

Decided to play mirrors edge and finished it. Honestly the game wasnt all that great tbh, the movement felt super janky due to the first person views the controls dont help ( or atleast on ps3 )

It was never great but it was interesting. People scoffed at it at release and it failed for a reason, then it became some sort of cult hit and people demanded a sequel that would (obviously) fail. I was one of the not-that-many people that bought it on release and enjoyed it. Not because it was good but because it was interesting.

ouldn't you just charge access to the ROM site

One of the ways copyright holders shut down torrent sites was by pointing out they made money through advertising. The trackers they nailed to the wall essentially slit their wrists and bled for the MPAA. You charge access to your rom site; you give them the slam dunk "These HACKERS are selling our INTELLECTUAL PRODUCT prosecution.

Many gateways have been attempted to keep the fucking normies out of rom archives. Password protection was one of my least favorite because down the line you've fucked someone who never heard of your archive over.

The developers were very open about this. They were green as grass, and their ambition quickly outran the architecture of the PS2. They absolutely fucking HATED doing the trip lines, but they were could not implement the system they wanted to. It broke their hearts, but the trip line was the ugly solution they ended up stuck with.

There were some amazing articles when the game came out about development, and thanks to the remake, we're getting MORE fantastic articles about the development of the original.
They went into development buying into the hype of the emotion engine, and quickly came to despise the hardware limitations. The PS2 was both a fantastic and dogshit platform, and they go into that in those articles. Sorry I don't have links, I read those on my phone.

They yanked her chin out to give her man jaw. Joana already had a wide jaw, but she had a pointed chin. Now she's been modern day "corrected" to look like a supermarket employee. Or an oblivion potato person.
