And so Griff Halloran, introduced in SW Resistance (2018), is the latest Glup Shitto, thanks to Galactic Racer π€
Blade Runner 2099 probably won't disappoint me in terms of art direction.
"30th Anniversary of Wing Commander 3 is in the works. It'll contain the non-compressed original footage for the FMVs, EA still had the original tapes." Awesome! I just don't get why EA is releasing a 30th-anniversary edition of Wing Commander III when it'll actually be 32 years soon π€

Star Wars: Beyond Victory β A Mixed Reality Playset (2025): TIE Bolt, art by Evan Whitefield "Both engines are based on the TIE Bomberβs twin ion engine thrusters (ordnance pods), with TIE Interceptor wings mounted on each engine to give the vehicle a more aggressive silhouette."
You might think it's the shadow of NΓ©mo, my cat, but noβit's obviously Batman.
"In other words it is a love letter to the movies past and futuristic. They call its main setting, Metropia, an alternate future channeling 1939, and that seems about right. No matter what the inspirations, and there were clearly many, they all come from cinema and thatβs a delicious thing here."

A few very cool 1980s Roy Virgo covers
Star Wars: Beyond Victory (2025): Podracer, art by Stephen Zavala We tend to forget it, but one year before the release of Galactic Racer, another game was inspired by pod racing. But this mixed-reality experience was inevitably less widely known, as it was exclusive to Meta Quest 3 headsets.
I didn't know I needed a kart race in Tokyo-3, but here we are.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown was released 14 years ago today. I played this game a LOT until it was replaced in my heart by XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. π Now please give me a real XCOM 3. Memories of nights spent fighting strategically against the Alien invaders while taking care of a baby with a flu.
New run and Gunstarπ in Battlestar Galactica : Scattered Hopes. Like FLT, I'll probably play it every 3 months for the next 15 years. Or like This War of Mine, which took me about fifty playthroughs and 11 years to complete.π You should try a run on BSG SH, and there is a demo on Steam. π
