Thanks for reminding me about my useless copy of Tenchu Z because the cowards at Microsoft didn't bother making it backwards compatible and it never got a PC release.
This was actually one of our complaints. Z is honestly an entry that needs another chance, even if it’s just a good PC port (which would actually be the best outcome).
And yeah I’d bet on a rebrand for SBI. People who believe they’ve got the monopoly on morality + getting away with every insane thing they do/push + the high of destroying what their enemies love = hard af to get rid of.
I keep meaning to start a thread to ask if I'm getting old or if games just suck now, because the games I've most enjoyed playing this year are all at least two console generations old.
It's more complex than that, but yes, "games just suck now". There's some good stuff going on with indie and AA, provided you're willing to leave AAA IPs, which many people won't. There's also an issue of over convenience and data mining removing discussion and mystique from a game that isn't just autistic slap fights over balance.
If the SBI site is really down for good they're probably getting ready to rebrand and come back under a new name, just like ESG became DEI. If Kim Belair is making bank she's not going anywhere.
It's more than that. Though I think a DEI>Bridge style rebrand is likely, part of this seems to be lawsuit related and well as making moves for a big push.
In short, various bad actors have started mass deleting tweets starting Dec 7. And now people started noticing the site went down.
I have no problem leaving AAA behind. My GotY the last 2 years have been remakes of games from 2008 and 2005, respectively, and even modern series I did enjoy like Dad of War and Spider-Man have now become pozzed.
I am a little bit curious what Insomniac's Wolverine game is gonna be like, but I bet it won't be as good as the movie tie-in that was on the PS3.

Has Debra Wilson even been a problem? She was one of the best cast members on Mad TV and constantly made jokes about blacks that the woke types wouldn't be too fond of today.

No, and it’s not her fault they keep giving her roles. From what I understand, there’s even a wholesome reason for her. Her grandkids love video games, and she does it for them.
I blame the people casting, just like I do for Pedro Pascal. They’re always chasing trends, instead of crafting a cohesive aesthetic and narrative.

No issue with her voice, but do they really have to use her face every time? And I don't understand why they always make her so bug-eyed. Looks like not even blacks are spared of the fuglification.
100% chance for it to be pozzed, generic garbage judging by the leaks. There is no way a modern Wolverine game will be allowed to be as gory, manly or gritty as it needs to be, and Insomniac has no talent to make it work even if it did. DOA, maybe it will move a few copies on brand name alone but it will be another Spider-Man 2 situation where only terminal capeshit soyfaggots will care.
I rest my case. If you want a good Wolverine game, play: >X-Men Origins: Wolverine
>Any Marvel vs Capcom game or other Capcom Crossover titles, Wolverine should be in literally all the Marvel crossover ones aside from the mid "Infinite" release. Obligatory MUGEN shilling where you can literally build your dream team of fighters
>Any Marvel: Ultimate Alliance or X-Men Legends games If you want a good open world Super-Hero game, just play Prototype.

I don't even have anything against her as a person (no idea if she's a fucking idiot on social media or whatever) but I just wish she'd go away. Or at least do voicework without being modeled in.

I'm sure just changing the name will make people completely forget this is the same bluehaired psycho fuckface everyone hates when he walks right in with his bogus pronouns, talks some shit, and starts doing exactly what ESG and DEI both did.

However, you would think that they would make it tolerable through gameplay, considering that used to be the selling point for the first Insomniac Spiderman, & even the fucking scam DLC sold as an entirely new game, that was the Miles Morales...
(Side note, the gameplay of that game is overrated as fuck, games like Web of Shadows, Shattered Dimensions are way more fun to play).
But no, because Insomniac had a leak which imcluded Wolverine related stuff too, which honestly actually make the gameplay very confusing for a supposed Wolverine game. As per the leaks, the game supposedly has crafting & resources management. Wolverine uses smoke bombs. And, probably the weirdest thing in a Wolverine game, why the fuck, does Wolverine, a guy who can literally regenerate himself from almost the most fatal injuries, needs medkits? Also, the game is more cinematic than gameplay too, but honestly it can't be judged on leaked clips of an unfinished game alone.
So yeah, aesthetics (mainly the wokeshittery induced ones like ugly women) as a whole are the least of this game's problems, the very core gameplay is fucked. Mind you, they literally just need to make X-MEN Origins: Wolverine (which you can get here, I personally recommend the source for more Abandonware games) all over again with better graphics, how is it such a herculean task for them?

Debra never seemed like a retarded cunt but I haven't kept up with her persona online nor seen much of it.
We talked about this a while ago in here maybe a different thread... But yeah the big issue is they keep putting her IN the games not the voice not the acting but HER.
And its annoying as fuck. Its the same with Jack Black or Chris Pratt in movies.
Sick of it.
She knows people and is easy to work with. Now if only they would stop face scanning her and just have her stick to VA work.

Jack Black and Chris Pratt just end up as Jack Black and Chris Pratt no matter what they're in. One note actors. Debra wilson can do VA work perfectly fine without always sounding like Debra Wilson doing Debra Wilson things. It can simply be jarring at times to see real life people in games, especially if you're familiar enough with them. Keanu Reeves was in Cyberpunk, but he doesn't appear as himself in many things other than matrix shit but that's kind of expected due to being the star of the series.
Debra Wilson on the other hand, because she gets face scanned or modeled in so many fucking games is incredibly jarring to notice the same character appearing over and over and over. It doesn't even have to do with how she looks(it certainly doesn't help because she looks pretty distinct), just how often she shows up to the point of breaking immersion.
There will be no Debra Wilson slander here. She's one of the few blacks that is actually talented. Besides, I'd rather her than the constant crop of actors like the ones who get directed by Wendee Lee, Patrick Seitz, the Arems, etc. She at least is able to make herself sound vocally different in roles. (Lani Minella, Frank Welker, and Nolan North are some others.) Also she and Cameron Monaghan were great in Star Wars.
Mo-cap in gaming is....odd a lot of the time. Not only is it jarring (I won't play Infamous 2 and the expansion because I refuse to play as literal Troy Baker and Laura Bailey) but then there's also creepy shit like mo-capping the Baldur's Gate sex scenes or whatever the fuck they did with that sheboon in TLOU2.
Or like that time Laura Bailey played a black woman in Uncharted for some reason.
