This week\u2019s Xbox Developer Direct show was poised to be precisely as boring as I thought it would be \u2014 which, to be fair, they did warn me about ahead of time. But then they had to go and shadow-drop one of the most delightful games I\u2019ve seen in a long time right in the middle of the show. Hi-Fi Rush<\/a> looks like the kind of action game I would love, but I realized just how much I wanted it the instant I got it into my greedy mitts. That\u2019s the best kind of surprise \u2014 and now I want more just like it.<\/p>\n
Funnily enough, it seemed that the other game to make a big splash this week was an old one: Goldeneye 007, which brought its aging self<\/a> over to Game Pass and Switch. I tease, but it\u2019s nice to see that an older yet iconic game can be brought to modern consoles without needing a bells-and-whistles remake. Those are nice when we can get them \u2014 and I\u2019m going to devour<\/em> Dead Space when I have the chance \u2014 but nobody has the time or money to remake everything.<\/p>\n
On a slightly more wistful note, Neil Druckmann said in an interview<\/a> that Naughty Dog is not interested in making more Uncharted games and probably won\u2019t make The Last of Us Part 3 either. I\u2019m fine with the latter, as I was satisfied with how Part 2 ended. However, I miss Uncharted\u2019s action and whimsy. I wanted to see where it would go with either Chloe or Nate\u2019s daughter Cassie in the lead. And The Last of Us is hardly dead, as HBO just signed the show<\/a> for a second season.<\/p>\n
On a personal note, I went from idling with one game a week to having all of the games<\/em> dumped in my lap. I\u2019ve already published my review-in-progress of Forspoken<\/a> \u2014 and I want to finish the game and review, out of respect for the developers if nothing else. I\u2019m not exactly sure how I\u2019m going to find the time to do that with Fire Emblem Engage, Dead Space and Hi-Fi Rush all jockeying for my attention. It\u2019s nice to be spoiled for choice.<\/p>\n
