God damn it. What makes this worse is they were one of I think only two dev teams besides Vicarious Visions (who have now been fully assigned to Blizzard games) that could theoretically take over for the Tony Hawk games.

Yeah, the whole "toys to life" subgenre pretty much imploded a few years ago. Even Nintendo doesn't seem all that interested in amiibo anymore, either.

Damn. They did something similar to Vicarious Visions after they killed it with the Tony Hawk Pro Skater remaster.

For me I only play WZ to chat with my buddies. Since CoD is so ubiquitous, I imagine it serves a similar function. Easy to play casually. I actually just picked up MW on ebay which is the first I'll have paid since Cody.

Who said that people playing platformers were trying to relive their childhood? They could just be fun games that anyone can enjoy.

Tried warzone for the first time this year; mainly a Souls guy, also put many hours into Warframe and For Honor. Mostly play games mic'd up with friends (mix of irl and ppl met in-game).

Spyro remakes were great. Crash 4 was... well, you remember how Crash started to slip into not-so-great with WoC (still pretty good but not quite up to original trilogy standards), Twinsanity (decent game but really didn't feel that Crash-y), then the Titans games (crap)...? Crash 4 feels like the Wrath Of Cortex step in doing the same thing all over again.

I got it with my PS5 bundle, and I never even opened it. I'm trading it in at some point (just not Gamestop because they won't accept it).

I can't help but feel that game was, and still is, raw. Needs another year in the oven.

Zombies with friends is pretty fun though. But that's raw too.

It sold decent enough. Not as much as N. Sane Trilogy - pretty much due to the price difference - but has probably sold over a million.

remember how Rare ditched Nintendo because of SFA and went over to Microsoft only to be gutted and shut down after a couple of years?
