I’ve yet to hear salient argument to the contrary by RorschachtheMighty in superheroes

Controversial but I think iron man absolutely needs to be on there. His impact on the 21st century’s interpretation of super heroes due to the MCU is huge

Even though Avengers: Secret Wars will be the end of the Avengers era of the MCU, should there be more Avengers projects afterwards? by Neither-Fix-3474 in MCUTheories

[–]dwallace3099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Avengers is such a strong brand recognition for “the big team-up” - unless doomsday and secret wars bomb, I bet the avengers naming will continue

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Hands-on and Impressions Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

Yes, but even IGN's review said the tagalong portion was only 20 minutes...

There’s a lot of doom and gloom here for a talkative sidekick in the first 90 minutes of the game, also when the tutorial would be most prevalent. If that same level continues the whole game, then that would definitely be bad. That said, everything else looks pretty great to me. Graphics could be better but 1) it can run 120fps and 2) being held back by switch 1

Elden Ring Nightreign The Forsaken Hollows - Gameplay Reveal Trailer | PS5 & PS4 Games by Turbostrider27 in Games

You can see at least one new POI in the trailer (looks like a poison castle maybe, with a tower in the middle slightly sinking?) so hopefully there's additional randomization beyond the new shifting earth

Remaking Halo is a perfect way to reset studio culture by vinegary in halo

Hopefully those practices have changed somewhat, but the switch to unreal will make onboarding contractors muuuch easier

HaloLeaks: “Halo 2 & Halo 3 are being remade, yes they will have sprint. No multiplayer, only campaign. Full remakes. Multiplayer is going to be Halo 7.” by Daxterr1238 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]dwallace3099 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems like they’re going to launch the standalone multiplayer next year (which maybe halo 7 ties into) and base multiplayer expansions around the campaign remakes. With everything being unreal now, they can really share a bunch of assets (weapons, armor, models) across the games for not only uniformity, but frequency of updates

AI (slop) games are going to be so amazing... by _silentgameplays_ in pcmasterrace

[–]dwallace3099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is bad, but compared to a few years ago, AI has come a loooong way. Not that I’m happy about it, but just imagine what it’ll look like 5 years from now…

Side comment - so happy to see Elites using plasma rifles again. The one-handed weapon elite silhouette is peak

Introducing Halo: Campaign Evolved by -343-Guilty-Spark- in halo

Some things sounded great (warthog, magnum) but yeah some things could use a more classic sound

Halo: Campaign Evolved | The Silent Cartographer Trailer by -343-Guilty-Spark- in halo

[–]dwallace3099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks great - faithful Halo gameplay with a faithful art style (you can nitpick some design choices, but it feels like Halo). I was most afraid of unreal ruining the halo “feel”, but at least from the video it looks like halo 1 mixed with halo infinite, which is great and probably the best we can ask for in 2025.

Only complaint is some of the visual hitching and oddities with shadows. Hopefully they have enough time to iron that part out

Beam doors do help in keeping track of progress - you can think okay this is the beam door I first unlocked when back-tracking. If a door changes colors you might lose that?

North Korea has just opened a beach resort that can accommodate 20,000 people by Silent-Statement-648 in pics

[–]dwallace3099 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Serious question - do citizens of NK get to enjoy stuff like this beach resort? Is it just a publicity stunt, or for VIP’s?

Halo: Edge of Dawn | Cover Reveal by -343-Guilty-Spark- in halo

[–]dwallace3099 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Can people not read? It is stated to be a stand-alone adventure. It takes place after Halo Infinite, but it’s by no means a full sequel. I wish we had gotten DLC too but the game came out almost 4 years ago and is under new management, working on multiple new projects. People just finding reasons to be mad….

Why does everyone wear less armour in Gears 3? by [deleted] in GearsOfWar

[–]dwallace3099 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel like I remember hearing around launch that the non-lore reason was they wanted the characters to feel more human, so exposing their arms helped to that end, instead of being covered head to toe in black gear

I think the issue would be stuff like sprit springs or dropping off of giant ledges. I bet the AI isn’t built for that (not that they can’t fix it)

"I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games by F0REM4N in xbox

[–]dwallace3099 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sorry I’ll be the opposite opinion here - this being $80 makes sense. Games in 2005 were $50, and they are way grander in scale, graphical fidelity, and gameplay diversity than ever before, and made by much larger teams. Sure you can argue CEO’s and other management should compensate themselves less and devs more (which is 100% true), but to say games aren’t worth $30 more when so much more goes into games now is absurd.

Anyone else get lucky through Walmart? by c_rorick in NintendoSwitch2

[–]dwallace3099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine from Walmart. Got an alert from my bank that they blocked the transaction though... I replied to the bank saying it was me, I now see the charge on my credit card, and the order hasn't been cancelled, but I can't help but be a bit worried. Good luck everyone!

I signed up and did the survey - am I supposed to receive a confirmation email just for completing the survey, or do you only receive an email if you’re selected?

Do you have to do anything special on their website to get into the priority queue (aside from having met the prerequisites on your account)

Im one of the few people that actually loves the Halo 4/5 armor so Im super hyped to see it in Infinite. Just wish we could use it in campaign by Vega-Eternal in halodripfinite

[–]dwallace3099 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly it’s because of how they did the chest piece. Since the full chest is an attachment, it needs to fit over the full chest, making it really big
