Tomb Raider I-III Remastered heads to Steam from Aspyr

Quoting: tpauLooks a bit brighter but not visually pleasing. A remake would have been my choice here. I think people already demonstrated that as a sparetime project
Agreed, this looks rather unimpressive to me, or even bad. I don't approve of the new lighting completely changing the feel in every shown area in this trailer. Why does everything have to be so bright? At least it's somewhat reasonably priced, I guess. :neutral:

"Remastering" games from the late 90's so they look like games from the early 00's. Eh. :dizzy:

Looking at the more sane and realistic reviews, it's an easy pass for me.
The warning signs were there with the heavyhanded hype and constant media feeding, the "critics" "reviews" pre-launch are again a crime against the gaming community. 94% Critics Recommend on opencritic.com, 88 Critic Metascore on metacritic.com.

Suppose my patience with endless exploration and too many things to do has passed with age and I can't even with these overswollen titles. I have no doubts a lot of people are going to dive deep into this and proclaim it the best thing since the previous best thing,

Epic Games' new exclusive deal gives devs 100% for 6 months

I seem to recall not too long ago we learned that EGS is bleeding money like nobodys business, only thing keeping them afloat is leeching funds from Fortnite profits and of course despicable moves like this. This kind of exclusivity nonsense is insupportable and directly harms the consumers... but what if you're a struggling game developer and this deal is the alternative to financial ruin and starvation? :cry:

What a stupid time to be alive gamer.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty new trailer live, plus big free update coming

A 30€ expansion for a 60€ game, alright. Maybe one day. :neutral:
CP2077 currently 50% sale over at Humble, so that's something at least.
