Take-Two CEO Absolutely Nails the "Say Nothing" Strategy
Take-Two's CEO got asked about GTA 6 pricing again and delivered a masterclass in corporate non-answers. His response? The company will charge "an amount of money" that customers will consider "reasonable."
Groundbreaking stuff right there. Next week's forecast: the sun will probably rise and water remains wet. The real question isn't what Take-Two thinks is reasonable, it's whether $80-90 for GTA 6 will actually stick when every other publisher is watching this pricing experiment.
Portal 2 Turns 15 and Deserves Better Than PS3
Portal 2 hit its 15th birthday, and the advice is simple: avoid the PS3 version like it's a neurotoxin-filled test chamber. The Switch 2 version is apparently the way to go for revisiting Valve's puzzle masterpiece.
Makes sense. The PS3 version was always the weird stepchild of Portal 2 ports. But here's the thing, most PC gamers never stopped playing Portal 2 anyway. It's one of those games that just works perfectly on any decent rig from the last decade.
Original SNES Devs Take Another Shot at Emulation
"Super ZSNES" just dropped as a modern SNES emulator from the original developers. That's like getting the band back together for one more tour, except instead of playing stadiums, they're fixing sprite flickering and audio latency.
The original ZSNES was legendary back in the day, even if it wasn't the most accurate emulator. Now these devs want to build something that combines their experience with modern standards. Could be interesting, or could be another nostalgic project that fades into obscurity. We'll see if they can compete with established options like Snes9x and bsnes.
Peter Molyneux's Legacy Leaves Players Holding Empty Wallets
Players who backed Peter Molyneux's "Legacy" are reportedly out big money after the project failed. This is the same Peter Molyneux who promised you could plant an acorn in Fable and watch it grow into a mighty oak, then delivered a tree that looked like it was drawn by a five-year-old.
The man's a walking cautionary tale about overpromising in game development. At this point, backing a Molyneux project is like buying lottery tickets, except the lottery commission has a decades-long track record of disappointing winners.
