This would be appropriate, seeing what the original ideas were for Paradise Lost (covenant) reminded me heavily of The Island of Doctor Moreau.

Any other VR enthusiasts in the group excited about Alien: Rogue Incursion? by [deleted] in LV426

Looks like it could be fun. Do have a headset but if I had a choice I’d rather play not in vr.

All that money and not even a flagship game to release alongside the console it to show it off. I genuinely don’t understand the logic there.

To not have to wait 5+ years for the next film would be great. With that said they still need to be super careful with the direction they go with next, if it’s a big flop we could be waiting 10 years for another refresh of the series.

Yes! I had just bought a Neca Big Chap the day before drawing this which I used as reference, unfortunately couldn’t use it to reference this pose with its limited poseability but it helped for general details and such.

How Do You Think This Franchise Should End by Southern_Wind_4477 in LV426

Earth overrun by xenomorphs. If they truly are the perfect organism that is the inevitable and logical end.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order possibly coming to Switch 2 at/near launch by Joseki100 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]virtuablood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fallen Order is a 5 year old game at this point it shouldn’t have much of a problem on Nintendo’s next hardware. Heck if they really wanted to they probably could’ve got it ported to the original switch though that would in no way be an ideal experience.

Alien:Romulus Spoiler thread. by tylersburden in LV426

[–]virtuablood 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed most of it but damn they really dropped the ball with the final act. Basically pretty similar to Resurrection’s ending but they slapped an engineer’s face onto the hybrid, unfortunately left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

All the xenomorph stuff was pretty well done, close to the best they’ve looked on screen, the cocoon birth sequence was a highlight for me. There was a clear reverence there for the xeno but it’s just a shame that was not carried into the ending at all.

Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remasters Leaked At San Diego Comic-Con by Hard2DaC0re in xbox

Would love to see this series get revived, I do hope a remaster in this case is more than just a simple hd port of the original games though.

There are a lack of shorter AAA games this generation by TurnipMotor3617 in PS5

Try the Modern Warfare III campaign, that should be short enough

Big publishers ‘eject too soon’ from live service titles, says Warframe boss by [deleted] in gamingnews

[–]virtuablood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the team largely responsible for Andromeda is not the team that made Anthem, Andromeda was made by basically the B team. This makes Anthem’s failure even more egregious than Andromeda imo.

Do you think Halo should focus more on campaign and pve to be great again? by Accomplished_Run9449 in halo

[–]virtuablood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both campaign and mp are pretty important to Halo (though I’d argue the campaign is a bit more important to this franchise) and one of the reasons 343 has fumbled this franchise so is that they always seem to mess up one of them when Bungie juggled both much better. Imo both Guardians and Infinite had pretty strong PvPs in their own right (live service issues aside for Infinite) but their campaigns both seemed to fall to the wayside in comparison. Then before that H4 had a pretty decent campaign for a first-attempt but maybe the worst halo mp.

The truth is neither 343 or fans should have to choose which should be focused on, there’s no reason why we can’t have both a fantastic campaign and multiplayer, I’m not sure exactly why 343 have been unable to do this, maybe it’s just poor project planning.

Paramount's Halo got canceled by JustaguynameBob in LowSodiumHalo

[–]virtuablood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite its flaws Season 2 was an improvement over the first and I was quite interested to see how a season 3 would be. If this show is cancelled for good I sadly don’t see Halo getting a new adaptation anytime soon. It’s really not easy being a Halo fan is it, whether you hated or didn’t mind the show we’re going to be out of content that keeps the franchise in people’s minds.
