I got both of the pockets. Pretty neat little handhelds. I much prefer the EXP, but given their size and the fact one of them has built in Taito games (the Capcom one has the same games as the EXP) I will say they are worth having. Relatively cheap and plays the majority of evercade carts... what's not to like?

Have you also scored the new Duke carts? The I'm loving the remasters of Duke 1 and 2. Having never played them before I'm having a blast. Easily one of the best Evercade carts to date. Not a fan of the second Duke cart though. Those games have aged badly.

darthv72167d ago

i did. Have not played them as i have been playing through full void. I should also be getting the atomic edition VS in the next day or two and it will come with its own Duke carts so i will have two sets. One of the sets im getting signed by the Duke voice actor, Jon St John in a couple of weeks at a game expo.

Full void is great! I got myself the special edition with the blue cart. I wish it was a bit longer though, but good that it even includes achievements!

I didn't get the atomic VS but having seen an unboxing on YouTube it wish I had, love the exclusive theme and menu music. I didn't feel I needed it since I have the founders edition VS. I was wrong 😂

That's cool getting a set signed by the voice actor though, that'll just make your copy that bit more rare and special 👍

One thing I'm surprised at though, is that Blaze didn't release a special edition of the Duke remasters, given the effort that went into creating them.

Ubisoft to Focus on "Return to Leadership" in Open World Genre, Expand Live Service Experiences

Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.

enkiduxiv1d 10h ago

Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.

excaliburps22h ago

Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.

shinoff218320h ago

What though? I can't think of one game they had where I liked anything about it. Atleast since the ps3/360 Gen

Kornholic20h ago

If they have never been the leader in open world gaming, then explain me this: why does almost every open world game follow the same tired old Ubisoft open world formula?

Follow the Leader.

You were never the leader bro 🤣

shinoff21831d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting

Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.

Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.

If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard

As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
