When you have Scott Pilgrim, SOR4, Shredder’s Revenge and it’s newly released DLC.

For a beloved IP like GI Joe, this looks like the early stages of a classroom project. I’m sorry but the bar has been raised, the developers are going to have step up.

Road Rash……..let’s go!

Konami has become a cheap knockoff of its former self. Caution is the best I can give this venture to revitalize their flagship line.

Haven’t taken EA seriously as a third party since the GC/PS2/XBOX era.

The whole “Nintendo is for kids” ideology is still to this day one of the most ignorant views a gamer could have. It’s an illogical concept usually held by elitist gamers that think they’re too cool for school.

Congratulations, well deserved!

Look forward to playing this with my son.

Nintendo is one of few companies in this industry that can step back and say “yeah we screwed up”. Then just move forward with the hope of being better.

Looks interesting.

There's a difference between having a defeatist attitude and having no illusions to the common practices of big industry. But to each their own, good day to you sir.

@MajorasLapdog

It's a hard pill to swallow, the idea that you're conditioned to like something specific. The idea makes it seem like you have no control over your decisions and actions. Video game publishers and film studios capitalize on conditioning based on numerous statistics from gamers and viewers.

Sure, you can go against the grain from time to time, but that doesn't make you less susceptible to being encouraged to like certain things even if you find disappointment in them from time to time.

@MajorasLapdog

So what you’re trying to insinuate, is that because you have a blog, a podcast and graduated film studies, these accomplishments have made it so you 100% objective in all the films you view? Not an ounce of bias?

@MajorasLapdog

It’s so easy to hide behind “I just wanna see a good movie”. The problem is that it’s not that simple anymore. And despite the fact that we claim not to have biases when we see movies, the truth is we do. People have had too many experiences with films, whether it be at home or in a theater to just simply say that “I walked in a blank slate”. It doesn’t work that way.

We’ve been conditioned to like films to be a certain way, and conditioned to like them from certain people and studios. I think the line of what a good movie is vs a bad one has been blurred greatly over the years. There are terrible movies to be sure, that’s a given. However, there are lots of movies that aren't as bad as people make them out to be. They're only dubbed bad because they don't fit the aesthetic of what's currently popular.

@MajorasLapdog

Most of the problems in that film can be easily found in other movies. We’re just living in an age where certain movies receive harsher criticisms than others based on biases and brand loyalty.

@Mr_Muscle Despite whatever evolutionary change the industry might incur, the closing of stores is rarely if ever been a positive or neutral sign for a franchise.

To each there own, but I’m someone that’s been both a consumer and employee of GameStop. So I can understand exactly where a great deal of consumer animosity towards them comes from.

@Mr_Muscle Well we’re not talking about Gamedude or any other retailer, we’re talking about GameStop. They’re supposed to be doing it bigger and better than the competition, which includes prices, selection and trade-in value. And despite whatever positive experience you’ve had there, no two customers are the same.

At the end of the day, GameStop is the one closing down stores, which means consumers are finding better deals somewhere else.

High prices, limited selections and undervalued trade-ins..............this was inevitable given their business practices.

It’s a whole new era for consumers and they’re still acting like the consumer base is shopping like it’s the 90s to mid 2000’s

Man, so many memories with those games.

I think my credit score went down just for watching this teaser.

Sweet..........now all we need is GTA IV. 😏

Yeah, these movies were all terrible.
