Usable web in 2023: archive.ph

And then they will come for archive.ph and everyone will be screwed over.

Why?
Did someone try hacking them again?

Knowing his comedic genius, I'd wager a GTA VI announcement is right around the corner

Edit: OH SHI-

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Plans to announce an upcoming game? How uh... exciting. Give us a buzz when it's available.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It's from Jason, should be pretty accurate.

Ok, this time don't treat PC players like second class citizens.

When was Skyrim originally released again?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Skyrim came out in 2011, why?

GTAV came out in 2013.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I was just wondering... Because both games have been out for quite a while. Bethesda has been milking Skyrim for so long. I'm just glad that Rockstar Games are releasing a new GTA game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It is a little interesting.
GtA 4 came out in 2008. And Oblivion was 2006.
So if you believe these companies it now takes 3x as long as it used to to create one game.

And that's just to make something like Starfield.

Wasn’t it 11.11.11? I just remember the marketing around that being huge.

Half-Life 2: released in 2004 after a leak of an early build was shown to the public and caused a massive rewrite and rebuilt of the game.

GTA 6: may releas in 2024 after a leak of an early build was shown to the public and might have influenced future development.

GTA 6 is Half-Life 3 confirmed?

Just for context:

Jason Schreier is the same person who proclaimed that Switch Pro will be announced "very soon, possibly tonight" a couple of years ago: https://www.resetera.com/threads/jason-schreier-suggests-that-the-switch-pro-could-be-announced-tonight.432362/page-3#post-65882963

He is not credible.

And the OLED model was announced a few weeks after. No, it wasn't a "Pro," but it was a hardware revision.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Guessing a hardware revision a couple of years after launch is hardly inside knowledge. I can do that I don't pretend to have industry contacts. It's like me telling everyone of a PS5 Pro and when the Slim got announced walk with my chin up high as if I was correct...
