The makers of PUBG may have accused Fornite of being a shameless rip-off of their title. Not only that, but they’ve threatened various vague legal actions. Yet despite all of this tomfoolery, the title is bringing in an incredible amount of players. These two titles, they got themselves a slugfest on their hands.

The creators of ‘Titanfall’ and Oculus have teamed-up for a super secret VR game I won’t care about

respawn titanfall oculus vr game

You know in Mean Girls when that one character is upbraiding the other character (imdb.com, search, Mean Girls, naw, too much effort) about attempting to make “Fetch” happen? Yeah, that is sort of my attitude towards VR gaming. Can we just stop trying to make people care? No? It’s going to happen anyways? Gotcha. Then, uh, okay. Hey! Neat!

nintendo of america boss snes classic do not overpay

Nintendo stakes its name on two things: producing fucking wonderful first-party games, and producing artificial scarcity at mind-snapping, wallet-breaking levels. So fucking excuse me if I don’t believe Nintendo of America’s ChiefCzar when he tells consumers not to overpay for the SNES Classic.

‘Uncharted 4’ Co-Director Bruce Straley has left Naughty Dog. A witty tip of the cap to all his efforts

uncharted 4 codirector bruce straley leaves naughty dog

Bruce Straley has left Naughty Dog, but his presence has been felt, and will be felt in the company’s products for years. Not only was he the co-director of The Last of Us, but he also co-directed the fourth Uncharted game. It’s an understandable, yet bittersweet loss for the company. The sorts of games Straley directed were fuckin’ developmental grinds, so it’s hard to fault him for leaving. I ain’t gonna get too bereft about this shit, though. The future of Naughty Dog still feels bright. Not only is Straley’s longtime creative partner, Neil Druckmann remaining at the company, but the writing team behind Lost Legacy proved their own bonafides.
