And also: AI fights racism • SpongeBob and ninja turtles get their own Xbox • Another favorite game becomes a TV series • Sony distributes (more) free games


Launch from the devil

Clutter at the launch of Diablo II: Resurrected, Blizzard's classic action-role remake.

In recent days, gamers around the world have been reporting significant difficulties connecting to the game's online servers.

The problems are felt every day on all the consoles and on the computer, and despite Blizzard's promises of care and requests from her for "a little more patience", many customers are actually starting to mourn patience and demand their money back.

As you may recall, this is the first game that Activision-Blizzard has launched since the explosion of the sexual harassment affair in the company.

This is probably not how she wanted things to go.

It also comes with pizza?

It's impossible not to like one (or two) of these sponges, of SpongeBob and the Ninja Turtles, which Microsoft co-designed with Nickelodeon in honor of the launch of the Battle Royale game Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl.

The bad news: These consoles cannot be purchased in-store because they are awarded as a prize in a raffle held by Microsoft.

Beyond that there is only one console of each type so then the chance of winning one is pretty nil.

Oh well, at least there's the picture.

The good news is that the game itself is not bad at all and gives a fitting fight to Nintendo's Super Smash Bros.

own goal

Not only did Benjamin Mandy fly out of an Electronic Arts sports game.

John Groden, the (former) coach of the Las Vegas Raiders football team, was also shamefully removed from Madden NFL 22, after being removed from the team in the real world as well.

The glorious coaching career of the 58-year-old Groden, who was replaced in the game by the character of a generic coach, ended earlier this week with a weak response.

The New York Times has revealed that the successful coach has sent out many emails in recent years with severe homophobic and racist expressions.

He used to humiliate and curse in internal email correspondence various players, coaches and key figures in the American Football League (to the point of referring to the lip size of an African-American official, and trying to prevent teams from recruiting gay players). Now he pays the price.

We are in the market

The new streaming platform for gamers Binge, which has not yet aired but aims to give a serious fight to Twitch, is working on a live-action series based on the mythical game System Shock.

There are not too many details on the production at the moment, but as you may recall, it was recently reported that Binge is also developing a series based on the action-driving game Driver.

interesting.

For those unfamiliar, the original Market System, released in 1994, is considered the father of plot-based action-adventure games, and is defined as the spiritual father of Deus Ex, and Bioshock.

The excellent System 2 system was released in 1999, while an expected remake of the original title was supposed to come out last year, but was postponed because of the Corona and is expected to hit stores in the coming months.

Absolutely real

What, it's been five years?

Sony is celebrating half a decade of launching its virtual reality system, the PSVR, and is planning a lot of (non-virtual) surprises.

Next month, for that matter, the company will be releasing a number of free VR games (it is currently unknown which ones), and it is not inconceivable that the unveiling of the PSVR 2 launch date will be announced very soon.

Sony has also released its ranking of its five most successful virtual reality games worldwide.

These are Rec Room, Beat Saber, PlayStation VR Worlds and the VR versions of Skiers and Resident Evil 7, which to this day make us nightmares.
