Sometimes, yes. I think about if any of the people on r/GlobalOffensive know about CSN or if they're too young to even have heard about it. I will never not be massively pissed off about that domain situation.10-21-2020, 12:37 PM

Long before Californian developers Naughty Dog broke new ground with modern classics The Last of Us and The Last of Us 2, they brought gamers a distinctly unique series that has gone on to become a cult classic and a fond memory for a certain generation of PlayStation fans. Unlike The Last of Us’ grittily realistic post-apocalyptic world and cinematic storyline that rivals the best movies, in the 2000s Naughty Dog were bringing us a colorful fantasy world that was—almost —pure escapism....10-21-2020, 12:13 PM -

There's always a lighthouse.
A new mod for Half-Life: Alyx was brought to light today courtesy of UploadVR. This mod, from developer wim.buytaert.1988, combines together Half-Life: Alyx with BioShock. The core idea here is that Alyx "crash-lands" in the underwater world of Rapture.
This is accomplished by using repurposed assets from Half-Life: Alyx in combination with new assets based on locations within BioShock itself. It's not a 1 to 1 recreation of BioShock,...10-20-2020, 03:50 PM -
Available now on PS4 and PC.
Frictional Games released Amnesia: Rebirth today on the PC and PlayStation 4. This is a game that we have already covered extensively in the previous weeks and months, so I'll spare you those details and get right into the press release portion.
I will make a note here to say that this game is NOT a remake or a remaster of the first Amnesia game. People seem to believe that it is just because the title has "Re-" in it somewhere. This is an entirely new Amnesia title from the studio that made Amnesia: The Dark Descent. ...10-20-2020, 01:52 PM -

Play as a couple of iconic horror movie villains in the new Warzone event.
If you thought that Call of Duty: Warzone would be a safe reprieve from the spooks and scares that come with the Halloween season, you would be wrong. You would be dead wrong.

It was still a bit rough around the edges, as it had the combined bugs from being both an Obsidian...10-19-2020, 01:09 PM -
Only thing to add to this news is that Crystal Dynamics are based in Redwood City, California, so on top of many or most of the devs working from home they're also having to survive wildfires.
