I've always thought about changing my name to 'Captain Jonway', so...

I think the Blackout mode is a solid first effort, if a little rough around the edges. Competitive multiplayer is fantastic, but Zombies has gotten waaaaay too ridiculous. I miss the simplicity of the World At War original!

@lordbaztion This is fantastic news, across the board. Clearly it's still very early days, but the momentum here is very exciting.

@sentinel-beach Ahh what great news! The perfect team to handle it too. Hopefully the Walking Dead staff can be rehired (even just on a temporary contract) to see their work through to completion.

@hazz3r Ahh ok interesting. Yeah I absolutely loved Blood Money, and found Absolution's obsession with being an action game very frustrating...

@dmcmaster I think that makes a world of sense. THQ Nordic have definitely repositioned themselves as that sort of 'nearly AAA, mid tier' studio that doesn't really exist anymore. It always seems to be either indie, or a massive big budget title these days, with no inbetween. I guess the folks at Ninja Theory were the inbetween, but they're now owned by MS... in any case, i would love to see Telltale and that entire staff (minus the upper management) resurrected by someone like THQ...

@el-shmiablo Certainly by a vocal minority, but I always felt like it got overlooked, or the sales were a bit softer... I could be waaaay off here though.

@bam541 YES. Blood Money was massively under appreciated.

I think it was inevitable that Sony had to get with the times here. Microsoft and Nintendo have shown a willingness to work together and open things up, and the potential benefits across the board always made it seem like a no brainer. Each platform has enough exclusives that 'one console folks' will still be able to pick and choose which first party stuff suits them best. The big thing for me is the benefit to third parties... having unified matchmaking pools will extend the life of a lot of games. Laser League could have been saved!

@dmcmaster Yeah I've just saw that. One employee, representing the rest, against the upper level management. I sincerely hope all those people affected see some kind of positive outcome.
