divergence

I've put a few hours into Phantom Pain, one of the things that stands out to me is that Venom looks quite a bit different from Big Boss. For one thing he looks younger, even after 9 years have passed (supposedly). So seems like they are just broadcasting this. I find the game a bit frustrating to play, hopefully once I level up a little things will get a bit easier but in the first 10 missions or so this game makes me want to throw my controller.

well, guess we'll have to wait for Metal Gear Solid: Big Boss Goes on Vacation to finally know what Big Boss was up to during the events of The Phantom Pain.

Good grief. I'm confused. So we're not actually playing as Big Boss in this game? How do we know then that the Snake in Ground Zeroes is the real big boss?

Dan is challenged in more ways than food. But its not our place to make fun of him, that's Jason's job. ;) Love ya dan.

That's good news, I've never played RE2. Still, they haven't even announced RE7 yet. What's up with that? Were they so burned after RE6 they are afraid to do another one ever again? I know, pull a Microsoft and skip RE7 and go straight to Resident Evil VIII. The roman numerals help distance the game even further from RE6.

From the article:

Good stuff.

What.

what the fuck is this shit. Is the article as bad as the cover? I'm going to float off and continue tuning out of cable television and "mainstream" bs as I have been for the past decade.

Remember when 3D TV's were a thing? I think we'll just be piling VR on to the same heap. I can think of some interesting aspects to it (pilot a drone equipped with VR friendly cameras, etc.) but for the most part I could less about VR.

yeah, but really VR is kinda... dumb. Sorry. But lets get serious for a moment. Don't do drugs and photoshop magazine covers. Just don't do it!

Wow, that's nuts. I would imagine most if not all developers currently at Konami are looking for a way out. On top of this it seems like Konami isn't really putting much focus on games as part of their overall business anyway.
