Square Enix... did what?!

Embracer grabs Crystal Dynamics + Eidos Montreal + Square Enix Montreal for $300 million! This isn't just Tomb Raider, Thief, and Deus Ex (no no no)... this includes over 50 back-catalog games.

Square-Enix seemed to have set their sights too high when it comes to certain games like Marvel Avengers and the recent Guardians of the Galaxy. You might recall that their CEO (Yosuke Matsuda) felt that Japanese devs fall short when trying to emulate Western games, but I'm instead of just placing IPs in a closet never to be seen again... at least they're being sold off (finally).

A few things happened in the past that were hints at this sale happening. Square Enix wasn't happy with the performance of Hitman, and Deus Ex back in 2017... and IO Interactive decided to go their own way with the Hitman IP to keep it alive. I think it was awesome for the Hitman developer to make that move, and it was less pressure from corporate.

I wouldn't say Embracer Group is a bad home for these dev teams and their IPs because it shouldn't be when you consider their reach and willingness to adapt, but I hope the new home is even better for the developers and gamers. Currently, Crystal Dynamics is working on a brand new Tomb Raider game (which the franchise has limitless potential in my opinion) + we can't forget about the Microsoft X Crystal Dynamics Perfect Dark reboot.

I would say that Epic Games should've considered placing their hat in the race also... if they want to become a bigger threat as far as PC gaming platforms are concerned, but I wouldn't want there to potentially be restrictions on where the games would be available. Epic is still in the mix with several Eidos Montreal projects being developed with the Unreal Engine 5... so hopefully, it's a win-win for all (especially the gamers). We don't know what that full list of games is that were acquired, but one was Legacy of Kain. I highly doubt Parasite Eve would be part of the package, but one could dream... especially if Square Enix doesn't do anything with it. They annoy the crap out of me with that. Do something with it... do a crowdfund if you don't believe in it, sell it, let someone else work their magic with a remake, collab with Capcom, whatever... make something awesome!

FTS: Hard West 2 coming to PC later this year!

Good Shepherd Entertainment & Ice Code Games Unveil Hard West 2, Coming Later This Year to PC

The Wild West and occult collide in this supernatural sequel to the hit turn-based strategy game

Sign up for Hard West 2’s new closed beta, going on now until April 7

AMSTERDAM — March 17, 2022 — Good Shepherd Entertainment and Ice Code Games have revealed Hard West 2, the long-awaited sequel to 2015’s hit turn-based strategy game set in the American Wild West and experienced by over half a million players. Hard West 2 ups the ante in every way, with the unique new Bravado State that delivers a more aggressive approach to combat. The game’s expansive, character-driven story is brought to life by the voice talents of Kevin Conroy (Batman: The Animated Series), Darien Sills-Evans (Days Gone, League of Legends), and Adam Gifford (The Colony, Batman: Hush), plus a score by BAFTA Award winner Jason Graves (Dead Space, Tomb Raider) and story co-written by Origins Awards winner and New York Times bestselling author Matt Forbeck (Deadlands).

Hard West 2 delivers a classic Western world with a supernatural twist, where legends tell of an elusive ghost train with a bounty of gold for the taking. But when first-class con man Gin Carter raids the transport, he discovers this “ghost train” is exactly that! Now Gin must lead a posse of strange outlaws and chase down the Devil across a land touched by darkness, battling forces both living and undead.

Key Features:

• SHOW YOUR BRAVADO: Ruthlessly rack up kills to activate the new Bravado State and replenish your Action Points. Rush out of cover, go on the offensive, and chain together stylish kills to extend your streak as you brazenly take down anyone or anything that stands in your way.
• SUPERCHARGED POSSE: Unearth mysterious playing cards to build your crew’s poker hands, and kit them out with punchier guns, explosives, trinkets, or just a square meal of beans and whiskey to keep them in top six-shooter shape.
• UNNATURAL LEADER: Like it or not, responsibility for your growing posse of gunslinging outlaws, teleporting witches, and other mysterious beings lands at your boot-clad feet. But be careful who you listen to and what you ask of them. The right choices lead to more Loyalty Points and new skills for those closest to you, but choosing poorly will test their commitment to your cause.
• SHOOTOUTS ON THE MOVE: With projectiles of lead and witchcraft, Hard West 2’s turn-based combat happens in dynamically shifting environments, keeping your brain as busy as your trigger finger. Let your Western imagination run wild, from horseback chases to tense train holdups, as you hone your strategic skills to a fine edge.
• THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UNDEAD: Folk tales of the far West collide with the darkness of the occult in an unforgiving land riddled with as many demons as bullets.
• CONQUER THE DARK FRONTIER: Explore the far reaches of the Wild West in a desperate fight to save your soul. Discover more about your posse as you wander the lands, from snow-covered vistas to frontier towns struggling to survive in a merciless world. Make brutal choices and learn to live with the gruesome consequences.

FANTASY MANGA + One Punch Man + PS4 Bundle Action + Stuff

You know what's funny... (growing up) I would always check out magazines and comic books starting from the last page. I knew it wasn't the right way, but reading manga that started from that side felt... weird.

Anyway... check out this Fantasy Manga bundle! 

By the way... fans of... One Punch Man can now rejoice after the announcement of Season 2.

There is so much that the anime can offer, and it has the host of heroes... in addition to the ever interesting hero Saitama (aka One Punch Man). Season 1 was awesome, but I hope to see more and hope that the truth comes out of how powerful Saitama really is to the people who think he's just some fraud or a low level hero.

 Plus... check out the PS4 bundle below.

Today was a bit busy, cold... but busy! We went to grab these heavy 6 foot tables from Maitland (next door to Orlando... what's up EA Tiburon!) and so I'm driving to the building for pick up... I look to my right and realize Qualcomm is across the street. I was like HOLY CRAP(!) and I totally forgot to take a picture. We were locked in on a conversation that I don't even remember... and it didn't dawn on me until we were in downtown Orlando headed back to the office.

Oh yeah... I was chatting a little with ToyRage last night while he played Resident Evil 2. He thought my tip for the locker combination was just a lucky guess, but... not so much. When you're in the police station, a certain locker combination is CAP (short for CAPCOM). We were also discussing other game related stuff... and his jaw almost hit the floor because he thought I said Resident Evil Survivor was getting a remake. Not quite, but I think it should... and it should be a VR exclusive. I'd definitely make the game more cohesive and exciting to be worth the purchase, but I don't think they'd have anything to lose by giving VR fans that exclusive. I know assets matter, but VR doesn't get a lot of big exclusive titles... so it could be a win.



A game ToyRage mentioned that I've mentioned in the past, was a Parasite Eve remake. That could be a remake... and a movie. Square Enix did it with Tomb Raider, and I think it would be amazing to see that franchise make a comeback in a big way (it has that potential). It would add a horror game to the line-up. I told him I'd reach out about RE Survivor VR... so we shall see what happens.

I didn't bother making the effort with Parasite Eve though... BECAUSE Square-Enix filed for a trademark in Europe which suggests that a game is in the works. That's exciting. Anyway... I hope you enjoyed the extra dose of... stuff in this post, time to get in some gaming... and I hope you do the same. Stay awesome!

Oh yeah, special thanks to Claire for the help yesterday (enjoy the VR headset)!
