Some of those announcement trailers look pretty cool, and it's refreshing to see some established franchises explore new directions in gameplay and/or game genre.

Control Resonant being melee-centered rather than the shooting-centered Control.
Zoopunk becoming an open-world RPG after the side-view Metroidvania that was F.I.S.T. before it.
Turok Origins opening up into Monster Hunter genre after the previous games were all FPS.

So far, I thought "No Law" looks the most fun in the new games.

Michael Cranford, the bard's tale creator is making a new C64 game:

How many C64s are in use today? Dozens? I know they started remaking it but really who the fuck is still using that? And what percent of those people are interested in this game? I mean whatever, I guess he’s doing it just for fun and people can emulate it, I just feel like a total of 12 people will ever play it.

We had a c64 in the mid 80s and the wait time was crazy even then. I remember my dad would wash dishes every time we had to change a disk on pools of radiance and would have me yell when it finally finished loading. Shit was brutal.

wonder if hes going to get attacked for the A.i. art on that page.

Tons of indie dungeon crawlers coming out these days. Wonder if someone will hit it big with one.

I took a quick break from the newest Wrath of the the Righteous playthrough, to finally check out Wizards and warriors yesterday. I was reminded of it, when trying to figure out where I owned Witcher 3. (it was GoG, and I was going over my giant backlog on there. haha.) Eye of the beholder also catching my eye...

There has to be enough people using the new C64s to make it at least worth it from a niche perspective. I occasionally watched videos from a channel called Retro Recipes and they were big into restoring old computers, but they invested in the new C64 production and most of their new stuff is around that
