minus-squareJackDark@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up39arrow-down1·7 days agoFuckers buying up studios and then shutting them down. I knew this was going to happen.
minus-squareijedi1234@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·7 days agoGood lord I hope Nightdive stays intact long enough to make a Dark Forces 2 Remaster. Jerec needs to show the new kids how an Inquisitor does things.
minus-squareNOT_RICK@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up23·7 days agoWhile I agree with you in principle, they didn’t buy the Initiative. It was a studio they founded that hasn’t shipped a single game. Perfect Dark looked cool though, this is a major bummer.
minus-squarepaultimate14@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·7 days agoThey bought the Perfect Dark IP though. That’s probably just going to languish now.
minus-squareJackDark@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·7 days agoTo be fair to MS, they bought that with Rare a long time ago, and they have put out a perfect dark game since then.
minus-squareNOT_RICK@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·7 days agoThat game was not good, but I sure did have fun as a teen fucking around with the multiplayer. Those early 360 games were weird
minus-squareJackDark@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·7 days agoAgreed. I really wish more multiplayer games would put in bot options. I am firmly an anti-PVP player, but I would play the hell out of some of the big PVP games if they gave me a pure PVE option.
minus-squareJackDark@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·7 days agoThanks for the correction. I was also looking forward to Perfect Dark. Been a big fan since the original on N64, hence the username.
