Absently curious who this is for. I haven't felt like Legacy of Kain's relevance persisted long past the PS2 era (where it was already waning) and it's not exactly like Crystal Dynamics' reputation is gleaming right now.

Been looking forward to this myself. There's a demo on the PS Store that I had forgotten failed to download from the app when I tried a bit back. Gonna get that going now.
It also appears to be on sale with PS plus for those who are ready to go all in.
RPS's quote on the game's Wikipedia: "A fantastic FPS ruined by a rubbish MMO", referencing loot and crafting systems.
Red flag for me.
Underrated reason to avoid addiction: if your sibling gets famous everyone will get to see inside your closet.
A goofy, Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker-adjacent spy spoof from France. Stunningly, the same director and male and female leads wouldater collaborate on 2011's Oscar winning The Artist.
Demo still doesn't actually seem to be on the store yet, if anyone else was looking.
Update: Hadn't been able to find it in the PS App but it is downloadable from the store directly on the playstation.
A while ago, like mid-to-late aughts maybe, it was in vogue to joke about Ben Affleck being a shitty actor. I haven't seen all his roles and granted I'm sure he's had his duds, but the existence of the Dogma parking garage scene was always evidence enough to me that he had the chops.
No judgement on his skill as a producer but Kinberg sucks as a writer from what I've seen of his. He strikes me as a studio-friendly hack, and this is a dumb move to keep the franchise "safe" rather than trying better to make it interesting.
Many noted a striking similarity to the case of Savita Halappavanar, a 31-year-old woman who died of septic shock in 2012 after providers in Ireland refused to empty her uterus while she was miscarrying at 17 weeks. When she begged for care, a midwife told her, “This is a Catholic country.” The resulting investigation and public outcry galvanized the country to change its strict ban on abortion.
But in the wake of deaths related to abortion access in the United States, leaders who support restricting the right have not called for any reforms.
My country's aptitude for remaining entirely unmoved by preventable tragedies that utterly upend political trajectories in other nations has become one of our most globally defining traits.

"Are you a supporter of Hamas?"
"Are you a racist, violent person inciting violence against me?"
Yeah, what happened. They take it down?
I never played them myself and I'm doubtful I have it in me to enjoy ps1-era gameplay at this point, but I'll try to keep an open mind. I've always liked the idea of the series at least.
