RE DOOM - are you into the first expansion pack now? I’m reading it’s much more difficult than the main campaign. I haven’t started it yet but the videos look good!

Not yet, even though I just bought it. Just finished the Super Gore Nest map though.

I feel like Doom Eternal requires caffeine to play.

I think it’s the quickest fps I’ve ever played for sure

Love this game, so had to double dip on the physical ver, comes with a code for the 3 DLC packs:

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2. I used to be really great at these games. Trying to get the feel with a very different controller (I played on Gamecube).

HL2

HL2

I want HL3 so bad. Once I upgrade my vidja card I’ll probably get VR and alyx in the meantime. Last I played HL2 (prob 2017?) I thought it had aged quite well. Game play was still fun and there’s mods for the graphics to bring em up a bit. 

Apparently HL3 is back in production as of this summer but only by a small team (10-15 developers). That’s the rumour anyway.

HL: Alyx is awesome - totally worth shelling out extra change on a VR set for IMO. And I don't want to reveal spoilers, but after finishing it, I'm convinced that HL3 could indeed become a reality.

As for HL2, it has held up well over the last sixteen years, although the facial textures on NPCs still look slightly pasty by today's standards. I'm just doing a vanilla run - first time since Feb 2014. Nice to see it running in 1920x1080 p though.

Cyberpunk 2077 delayed again.

Good, I prefer games to be finished before release.

I sincerely hope it’s polished/optimized etc, worth the delay if so!

DOOM eternal is probably the only game on PC in recent memory that out of the box ran perfectly with no major issues. I hope they achieve that!

If they remade the Game Gear to come with every game in the catalogue, I would consider buying one. Even if they just supported wifi and let you buy each game for a dollar, I would consider it. This looks kind of ridiculous.

Gorilla Unko is an incredibly underrated game.

Also, why there isn't a full-length Thomas the Tank Engine game is beyond me.

What the hell Osc, not ok.

What kind of moron sends death threats over a delayed vidja game? Holy that’s depressing

Pacer on the PS4. A successor to Wipeout.

The Designers Republic are involved and tons of music tracks, including a Warp Records artists section including Autechre, Squarepusher and LFO!!

Great game!

WTF?!? That is WipEout! 

I think the term "clone" applies. I see even Tim Wright/CoLD SToRage is on board! Not sure yet how I feel about that, or rather how Psygnosis/Studio Liverpool might feel about it, but I guess it will scratch that certain itch ...

Still hoping for a new WipeOut on PS5 though.

Looks perty
