Looks promising. Hopefully it turns out more like Mark of the Ninja than Assassin's Creed Chronicles when it's finished

Haven't played Assassin's Creed Chronicles, but Mark of the Ninja struck me as being more like modern take on the Prince of Persia formula with some added spice thrown into the mix. This game looks like a stealthy take on a proper tried and true Metroidvania.

All of the clickbaiting "gaming journalists" are having a cry over the PGW17 trailer for The Last of Us 2.
This Polygon one is hilarious. They literally say that ultra-violence in gaming marketing is okay if it's perpetrated against non-minority men.

Never mind that the game's setting is a post-apocalyptic dystopian world where society has broken down. Things are supposed to be brutal and uncompromising in such a state!

They're also having a whinge over the PGW17 trailer for the latest David Cage interactive movie, Detroit: Become Human. Where a shitty dad beats and/or murders his daughter and their android maid. Ah yup, let's forget that this violence isn't gratuitous, it's serving the purpose of exploring human morality.

We already discussed that trailer extensively in the (

First off, what? Secondly, they don't say that.

I think they do.

They're not just saying that "ultra-violence in gaming marketing is okay if it's perpetrated against non-minority men", they're saying "ultra-violence in gaming marketing is more tolerable if there's context to it, and it's perpetrated against non-minority men". Ok, they could've done without that last bit.
Anyway, why the hell am I defending Polygon's criticism of the TLOU 2 trailer. I liked that trailer.

Just because you like the trailer doesn't mean Eva's not bullshitting. ;)

I hadn't even heard about this until recently - a new Metro game called Exodus. Sounds like while it won't be open world, the outside areas will be a bit less linear than previous games. The visuals on the above ground areas look pretty good.

SENJYRO VARCYRIA FHO!
Cautiously hyped. I'm not gonna get too hyped. Not after that last Valkyria Chronicles game that turned out not to be a proper Valkyria Chronicles game. But this does seem to a proper one. Still, gonna wait for gameplay footage before engaging maximum hype levels.
