Update: No, Belgium did not rule lootboxes as gambling - translated

@NoodleFighter: Project Boundry was originally suppose to be PC exclusive, hopefully there also have a PC version in development. There are some amazing talent from China and I'm really happy we'll get to see more of them coming out soon.

A lot of Chinese game development artists and engineers got started doing outsourcing work for major AAA Western games, and tended to use engines like Unreal and CryEngine for higher end local market PC titles, so they actually have a really deep bench of experience with modern graphics and tech.

Even a game like Uncharted 4 has a lot of art content from China or Pacific nations like Malaysia.

@NoodleFighter It's a single-player RPG. The game was playable at E3 2017 but I haven't seen anyone do a write up on it.

Reminds me of Shattered Horizon.

Tencent is teasing a new game. The tagline is literally translated as "Eat Chicken". Could this be an official PUBG release in China?

Been following this on twitter for a while. The visual style, animations and abundance of hitbox are almost as AAA. I think there’s a lot of potential with this game.

Site redesign, perma bans, fired editors, clickbait reviews, trolls, movies coverage, ad-driven journalism etc.

There are only a handful of historical settings with multiple big games, it'll be interesting to see a different part of feudal japanese history explored. It wasn't just Japanese forces and Kamikaze storms. Mongols attacked with mainly Chinese and Koreans, they did many sabotage behind the curtain. Mongolian commanders who were used to commanding Mongolians expected same abilities and moral. Mongols used Chinese/Korean type of ships in their invasion. It didn't help that most of the ships they used were river vessels. Which were unsuited to ocean crossing, especially in bad weather. Research shows that the construction of the ships were hurried using low quality timber, and the already subjugated Koreans might have intentionally sabotaged the ships. It was also the reluctance of the Chinese navy to fight for their new leader, Kublai Khan.

Sizable forces did make landfall and had good success against the Japanese but they had supply issues and pretty much none of the siege machines made it across. Plus the mountainous terrain wasn't very suitable for the Mongol style of warfare so they gave up. They would have made a third attempt and may have been more successful at it but Kublai died.

considering they got Benedict Wong to reprise his role for this game from Marco Polo.

It's actually Patrick Gallagher. This article on the Playstation blog lists the two actors shown at the bottom of the article.

I have a bit of a fear that the combat will just be cloning AC/Shadow of Mordor combat.

To be fair it was teaser, not a trailer. Just a way to inform us that they're working on something.

They were a much smaller company back then who barely saved themselves from bankruptcy, they needed to attract the attention of both gamers and potential employees. After the witcher 3 they are in a much better position.

Trailer is better than showing nothing :D

From 2:08 it's actually gameplay.

Looks like this is taking place during the first Mongol invasion of Japan under Kublai Kahn. Which is even cooler considering they got Benedict Wong to reprise his role for this game from Marco Polo.

Tsushima Island was also a haven for Japanese pirates (Wokou) from 13th to 16th century who wreaked havoc in coastal towns of China & Korea for centuries. I'm not getting that lawless pirate stronghold vibe from this trailer though.

I feel like this happens every time Sony brings out the next installment for one of their big franchises. It's lauded as "revolutionary to the genre,""the greatest game ever"or "This takes the title of the best ______ to date!," but three months later it's almost forgotten about and fans go back to their childhood favorite to bestow the personal best award. I always take Sony reviews with a grain of salt because it feels like they exist just to whip up Sony fanboys.

Mario Galaxy got also a 11/10 from some magazine.

Also remember "its only flaw is that it's too good" for some Gears of War game back in the day? Or that one reviewer making a video of him dancing with the Skyrim review copy? This is why gaming journalism will not be taken seriously. Not even trying to hide that it isn't more than fanboy gushing. I liken it to the way that people pre-order a game lash out at reviewers giving lukewarm reviews to a game to justify their purchase.

No, it shows that video game reviewers are awful writers and that video game reviewers as a concept need to do some serious self-analysis.

And just to be clear, I in try to say that Odyssey isn't amazing. Just that this makes game reviews look completely unprofessional.

He's the reviewer for Ireland's biggest newspaper, I almost doubt he actually played it. Anyways, that review is prime circlejerk material.

I think that giving reviews a numerical score is a bad practice, but that is another discussion and isn't only true for Nintendo games.

I don't hate MGSV, but when I see those 10/10 scores, I just can't trust any other reviews from that site anymore, because they clearly sell out either to the publisher or to their rabid audience in exchange for clicks by providing an echochamber. It just seems that the flaws of these games are more apparent after a few months...and also people's nostalgic connections to old games make them ignore/forgive their flaws.

Nothing is wrong good game getting praise, but I can't stand this shit.

Mario Odyssey unironically receives a review of 6/5 stars.

I remember Ocarina of Time got an 11/10 from one publication.
