Apparently, a new BioShock title had been in development for years. That one was canceled, and never announced. However 2K Games has officially announced a new studio has taken on the task, with the title years away.

Microsoft is planning second next-gen Xbox that’s cheaper and has no disc drive. Different models GET!
Friends, Microsoft’s carrying their multi-model console approach over into the next generation. It’s leaked out that the company ain’t just dropping their beefy, all-powerful next-gen console. Nope! Nope. Additionally, they’re going to be less powerful model, sans disc drive, for less cheddar. It makes sense! I’m going all-in on the outrageously powerful model. But, it makes sense.
‘Resident Evil 3’ Remake cover art has leaked prior to its official announcement. And it fucking rules!
Amazingly, Resident Evil 3 hasn’t been officially announced yet. You may be forgiven for thinking it has been, given the previous leaks. And! Now this one.
PlayStation 5 dev kits have leaked and they’re that ugly shape that was rumored, friends
PS5 dev kits have leaked, friends! A twitter user dropped a few pictures of them, and, yup, they’re the shape that patents suggested a few months ago. That said, I’d be surprised if the actual consoles share the look.
Hit the jump to check them out!
Xbox’s next console Project Scarlett won’t do VR because “no one’s asking for it” and I respect that shit
Let’s get it out of the way, you fucking pendants. Surely, some people are asking for VR. But, I’m in support of Microsoft’s decision not to do VR on Project Scarlett. Why? It’ll let the fuckers concentrate on why people buy a new XBOX: the fucking games. It’s a refreshing refocus. You know, after trying to be a jack-of-all-trades at the beginning of this console cycle with a fucking Kinect, and a TV tuner, and other bullshit.
Amazon may launch cloud gaming service in 2020 with Twitch integration. Your move, shitty Stadia!
Google Stadia is a dumpster fire at the moment. Reports of devices overheating. People not getting their access codes. In other words, the perfect moment for Amazon to throw their hat in the ring. And, flexing by bringing Twitch to theirs.
‘Half-Life: Alyx’ Trailer: A full-fledged VR prequel that hits March 2020. But VR only? Fuck me.
Well, Half-Life: Alyx looks rad. The son of a bitch is hitting March 2020, but you gotta have a VR headset. And, I ain’t got one of them! So, enjoy it friends that do.
Valve announces ‘Half-Life: Alyx’ their flagship VR game. This is not the new ‘Half-Life’ I wanted, fuck.
Hey! Want a new Half-Life game? Me too! Want it to be a flagship VR game? Me neither! But that’s what we’re getting! Half-Life: Alyx.
Google Stadia nearly doubles its amount of launch titles. Still, like, missing a lot of promised features.
Snarky headline aside, I think Google Stadia is playing the long game. Not really trying to come out and set the Earth on fire. However, the list of features and games at launch kept shrinking. And shrinking. Somebody must have noticed the public dismay. How do I know? The company nearly doubled the amount of titles that are going to be available at launch.
Xbox One is getting a shuffle button to randomly choose a game from your backlog. One less decision to make in a life of meaningless decisions, wee!
The Xbox One is getting a “surprise me” button, which is a shuffle button by any other name. The function? As it sounds. Instead of staring blankly at your backlog trying to figure out what to play, the console will choose a title for you. Then invariably you’ll hit it again, searching for some sort of fulfillment in an increasingly concerning existence.
Have fun!
