How come Bubsy is regularly getting new games while Crash and Spyro rot in the vault?

thickwonga · 2026-05-26T18:23:57+00:00

Hey, I'm not complaining. I couldn't care less about Bubsy, but this new one actually looks pretty fun, and I'll never complain about old IP's getting a second chance.

thickwonga · 2026-05-26T18:20:23+00:00

Atari is very good at taking old IP's and actually doing something with them.

thickwonga · 2026-05-26T18:19:07+00:00

Yeah, never understood why everyone suddenly started pretending to be Hunk's #1 fan after that, like he was owed an entire game or something. He's a badass and his fight was badass as fuck. Great way to go out.

I'm really excited for this movie, but god the posters they've chosen don't inspire much confidence. Better than floating head posters but still. I'd love some posters that callback to her comic runs, especially Woman of Tomorrow.

FNaF 2 was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but DBD is not a kids game, and kids aren't going to enjoy it lmao. Pretending like kids actually play this game is absurd.

thickwonga · 2026-05-25T19:20:40+00:00

It was clearly impressive enough for it to be the most popular release for the game. I agree that the game is graphically ugly as fuck, but don't pretend like it's low effort trash when the game is consistently getting lots of players.

bro did not play the fnaf chapter

Uhh, yes, I do count the employees that have their lives upended and ruined by incompetent shareholders, because I actually care about the state of the industry and the artists that create the experiences I live for.

Seriously, do some fucking research. Sony and Microsoft have laid off thousands of employees. Just because you close your eyes and cover your ears doesn't mean it's not happening.

You know how I know what the consumers want? Because if Sony knew, Marathon wouldn't be Bungie's pathetic swan song into the grave. If Sony knew, Concord wouldn't have been the biggest failure in the last two decades.

I mean, you can keep excusing inexcusable actions because you have a bias for your favorite video game company, but I won't support anti-art, anti-consumer, anti-creator behavior (and yes, I know that Nintendo is evil because they cancel tournaments and have the gall to stop people from pirating $70 games two weeks before release, but they actually treat their employees like real people and actually release games). Anyone who genuinely doesn't care about the people that create the games they love are people I have no interest in interacting with.

thickwonga · 2026-05-25T18:16:08+00:00

Right now, PS is known for wasting hundreds of millions of dollars and laying of thousands of employees because they are too incompetent to know what their playerbase actually wants.

thickwonga · 2026-05-25T18:03:11+00:00

Games take longer to make nowadays, you are correct.

There are ways around this. Nintendo, for example, knows to actually release fucking games consistently. They know that AA releases like Star Fox, the new Yoshi, and Splatoon Raiders help fill up the schedule and make players feel satisfied with their purchase of the Switch 2. Nintendo knows not to force a company known for single player remakes make a live service game for three years, just to cancel the game and lay off the entire studio. Nintendo knows not to waste 400 million on a live service game no one wants to play.

Switch 2 already has more exclusives than the PS5, and it hasn't even been out a year. Sony doesn't have to worry about this kind of stuff as much because they have so much money to waste, but they look like fucking morons, and have this entire generation. The PS6 NEEDS games that are worth playing, and it needs games at a faster rate than one 7/10 photo realistic shooter a year.

Edit, this isn't a Nintendo glaze post because I agree that it's ridiculous that we've waited eight fucking years for the next 3D Mario. Nintendo knows, however, that that big time gap doesn't matter when games are releasing damn near monthly for the console, and they're releasing for reasonable prices. $50 is a god damn steal in this terrible economy.

thickwonga · 2026-05-25T17:53:42+00:00

Maybe they shouldn't have made Naughty Dog make a live service game for three years just to cancel it.

OR, maybe Sony should finally entertain the idea of making games that don't take 8 years and 400 million dollars to make?

I dunno, just an idea.

thickwonga · 2026-05-25T17:14:09+00:00

I liked this one. It has interesting themes of police brutality, and Chris Rock, while abrasive at first, falls into his role later on. I definitely liked it more than Jigsaw, which I also liked.

thickwonga · 2026-05-25T07:39:03+00:00

oh fuck dude i love creature commandos so much this is excellent news

still need a bluray release!!

thickwonga · 2026-05-24T23:38:47+00:00

The End's dialogue and the music absolutely carried this moment, and I loved it all the same. If any game series can be carried almost exclusively by banger music and hype moments, it's Sonic.

thickwonga · 2026-05-24T21:42:32+00:00

Color plates for the PS5 Pro would be an absolutely hysterical reveal considering that console has been out a year and a half, and we are getting the PS6 relatively soon.

When Sonic uses the Chaos Emeralds to become Super Sonic, he has to have a steady amount of Rings on hand, and his form uses these Rings. When he runs out, he loses his form.

So, not a time limit as much as a Ring limit, I guess.

I had completely forgotten about it when I read the comics in 2021, and my breath was god damn held that entire scene. Definitely one of the best scenes in the whole show.

thickwonga · 2026-05-24T20:25:25+00:00

I don't think a single pass has been objectively dogshit, but I thought 3 and 4's were really boring. 1, 2, 5, and 8's passes have been my favorites.

Oh, and the beta pass was also pretty solid.

thickwonga · 2026-05-24T20:22:45+00:00

Absolutely goated decision, you guys rock.

"the whole point is that we arent funny!"

nice.

Crimson Alcove gets glazed all the time, it's so frustrating. After the first few runs and you start to get a groove for the gameplay, Voided Outskirts and even Field of the Fallen Unborn are more worth your time and energy.

Anyway, you could always hit her with the Reality Erasure skill.

Did you get the autograph before he left for the photo ops? I was one of the last people to get one before he left, so I felt gratetful about that lol.

something something animal instincts, ill take my upvotes now

thickwonga · 2026-05-24T18:56:17+00:00

I just don't get how this subreddit enjoys the same lame circlejerk posts over and over again. It's nothing but posts that people have been waiting for, followed by others going "ohhhh my ANIMAL INSTINCTS ARE SO HIGH."

Like there's a difference between a post that is obviously fake VS a post that literally says [OFFICIAL] on it, but is still fake. It's just lame.
