What's going on with Star Citizen? It's been 12 years since the Kickstarter began and it still hasn't been released. I occasionally see some streamers like Summit1G playing the latest version and while it looks pretty good overall, it seems to still be suffering from lots of bugs 🐛 I'm still not convinced it will ever launch as a full product, but I guess we will see!

Star Citizen has raised over $700M in funding over the years. The Kickstarter started in 2012, and I actually still vaguely remember the hype of this transformative new Sci-fi gaming experience. I don't think anybody could have predicted how long making the game will take (and how much money it will raise), and I guess we actually still don't know since the game is not finished and the crowd funding is still ongoing.

Congratz to NAVI for winning IEM Rio 2024! 😎 🎉
Unfortunately it's not looking too good for Shroud's new game Spectre Divide. Looks like the studio is letting go 13 employees only a few weeks after the game launched. Unfortunately making a new hit game remains to be difficult :/ https://www.dexerto.com/gaming/shrouds-spectre-divide-dev-team-hit-with-layoffs-weeks-after-launch-2911312/
IGN is reporting that a new Battlefield game is in the works by EA, and it will finally be returning to a modern setting. I'm pretty excited! https://www.ign.com/articles/exclusive-first-battlefield-concept-art-revealed-vince-zampella
GZ to Blinky for winning the GeoGuessr World Cup 2024! It was an absolutely insane grand finale. Script writers were definitely working overtime. WP to the silver medalist MK as well. https://liquipedia.net/geoguessr/Blinky
Looks like PlayStation 5 Pro has been finally revealed! Unfortunately console gaming seems to be getting quite expensive though. PS5 Pro prices are: $699.99 USD £699.99 GBP €799.99 EUR Fortunately I remain mainly a PC gamer 😎 https://blog.playstation.com/2024/09/10/welcome-playstation-5-pro-the-most-visually-impressive-way-to-play-games-on-playstation/
The War Within has surpassed my expectations by a lot! It finally made WoW feel like WoW once again. I guess I'm mostly impressed about the story and focus in the old and beloved characters, but all the new zones and quests are nice too. Good job Blizzard!
Deadlock is a pretty good game! I'm totally not addicted 😊
Will this one be the Battlefield killer? I have to say it's looking really good, and even though many people are excited about the extraction mode, I have to say I'm more interested in seeing how the Conquest mode performs instead. Super cool to see many great looking games popping up lately! 🤗
