It's a bank heist game, just make a newer engine and expand on the ideas from 2 and the sky's the limit. Also I hope it has VR support because man that game is amazing in VR.

Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X/X-2

My only final fantasy games ever played are FF6/7 on PC emulators in the mid 2000s (never beaten), beating FF13, trying to play 13-2, and beating Kingdom Hearts 1&2. I know most of the PC ones come with cheat menus to speed things up and make leveling faster but I don't really know how they've aged in general.

I don't know what you mean agreeable to modern gaming standards.

If you mean cutscene skip, only FFX-2 has that. Sometimes.

If you mean a speed up feature, I believe everything in that list has it. They don't necessarily speed up cutscenes though.

If you mean autosave, I believe all of them now autosave at the start of every new screen, separate from the save point saves that you have. And they all have varying cheat menus.

This was five movies ago in a series that has featured the theft of bank vaults, exotic sports cars, prototype military tanks, experimental EMP devices, nuclear launch codes, entire nuclear submarines, and in the latest one they're going to space, so I'd say there's plenty left to go.

The regular version of VIII is better than the remaster. Mods for regular VIII are far superior. This may have changed since but I haven't kept up with the remaster at all. There wasn't a need to.

IX has a graphical overhaul mod that is amazing. A must have. It's a night and day experience.

X/X-2 HD is great out of the box.

I love the Fast and the Furious series to death, to say nothing of dumb stupid bullshit and even I started checking out around 7. Which granted 7 was probably the worst movie of them since the one with the tunnels but I guess it turns out there is such a thing as 12 year old cool overload

It's very, very good. More focused on fun man smashing and giant fights than hyper serious dueling and highly technical mechanics - though they did steal basically all of Mordhau's good ideas for the fighting - but if that's your jam (basically did you like Chiv 1?) it's a ton of fun.

There's probably a chunk of Nazis in Chiv 2 because that's the kind of game it is, but for what it's worth chat has mostly been either fun or just your usual level of internet salt, "trash" and that kinda thing. You can also play femme and POC characters in Chiv 2 so that probably pissed some of them off and kept them away.

This post (and the gif earlier) actually got me interested enough to take a look at Chiv 2 but I didn't realize it was a year-long Epic exclusive so :rip: guess I'm waiting.

I mean I'm not exactly super opposed to buying games on the Epic launcher but I will literally forget I have the game and will end up never playing it. This isn't exactly a problem exclusive to Epic but at least with Steam I always have it running and will occasionally scroll through my list of games so I end up being reminded I own something.

It pretty much always means xbox and windows. That's part of Microsoft's whole strategy. They just want to be in homes, they don't care if it's through Xbox hardware, Xbox gaming app, or even publishing their games on Steam.

I really REALLY like that the Elden Ring trailer starts talking about various "flames" and your player character being the "Tarnished" and showing off summonable phantoms right around the 1:45 mark when the coda from the self-titled "Demon's Souls" trailer song kicks in. It's hard to entirely nail down from the footage we're given, but this basically feels like a Miyazaki take on a Souls series reboot with the best of both worlds from DS and Sekiro with an open world aspect. I'm in.

Elden Ring is already better than any Souls game because you get to ride a horse, and presumably that means there won't be something trying to kill you every 10 feet. Maybe it will now be only every 20 feet.

Miyazaki announces that every time you lose to a Boss, the Boss will bully your horse. Every player in the world immediately GITS GUD and the "beat the game without dying once" achievement ends up with a 104% completion rate.

Edit: Anyway, I'm vaguely interested in the new Vampire the Masquerade game and... oh I just saw on Steam it's PvP so much for that :sigh:

Bloodlines 2 is in development hell and who knows when it comes out, if ever. The battle royale game is called Bloodhunt, it's being developed by Sharkmob and is supposed to release later this year. But then there's also a different RPG called V:TM - Swansong developed by Big Bad Wolf, that I think is also supposed to come out this year and is going to be shown on the PC Gaming show on June 13th
