@irlanzin Stalker IP is still owned by GSC World Publishing, even though they are bankrupt too, but looking for investors for another game in the series from last reports a few months ago.
@blackace @amcdc79 Thing is, this one is the best, it was much better than the first console release Evil Dead: Hail to the King, which was a real stinker.
@alpha_unit97 If you count when the Atari 2600 launched in 1982, that's 30 years gaming has been around. (TV's only been around since the 50's, about 30 years before gaming went mainstream, and there were consoles released in the early 70's, so maybe only a 20 year gap...)
So...you're telling me that gaming is NEW...seriously???
@demonkingx5 @uncle5555 Let's see, your sentence contains three words "possible" and "if proven"
Which at this point these rumors haven't been proven true yet, and was the point of my reply to the other person, taking rumors as fact, we'll know for sure in two months why spout false facts as truth, it just makes the person who says it look like an idiot to be honest.
@Sorciere_basic Wow, you must be from the future considering I've not read or heard a single bit of real information stating either new Sony or MS system will for sure be always online and DRM riddled.
Thanks for coming back in time to dispel that RUMOR going around was actually true.....
Milkman (James' EGM handle) has ALWAYS been a huge supporter of Japanese gaming. He was one of, if not the best editors on EGM, Sam Kennedy being another one I respected) and his preferred taste in games always showed he knew what was shit and what was good. So I say take your personal vendetta and shove it somewhere.
If not for James and some forward thinking westerners who live (nice to see Ben Judd is still alive ;-) and work in Japan this event would not have happened. I knew some of the games shown, many of the names mentioned (as you all should but probably don't, for shame) and wish them nothing but success pulling this off.
I know he has a small crew, but I'd love to see Bitsummit have a central hub for these things, there were many games shown that I still don't know the names of (in the official video and the one above) that I am interested in and know nothing about. So if possible please rectify this (as most sites mentioned Studio Pixel's new game and nothing else, which makes me sad) and give people a place to go to find out about these wonderful games.
For the record I hope Playism was there to help the indie devs shop their wares. And I'm glad La Mulana and Gunhound EX were featured. Games like those and many of the others DESERVE full exposure on sites like this and on the major platforms so as many people as possible can play them. I do have a selfish wish and that is to see Studio Pixel's new game on PC (or similar platform) as it's mentioned being on IOS right now I won't be able to play it, and I'd assume many others as well, but I digress.
James good luck and I hope your efforts bear fruit and make great strides and big successes for these developers.
P.S. Also thank you for remembering Eno-san, he will be sorely missed.
