    Night Dive is doing a remaster. I'll have to keep my eye out for it. I remember wondering if I should grab this back in the day but looking at gameplay footage I'm kind of glad I didn't. Combat looks a little janky even by PS2 standards. Perhaps Night Dive will make some small tweaks like they did with Turok. The trust/infection aspects of the game still look like something worth experiencing. I'm constantly reminded of older games that had cool unique mechanics that have had decades to be improved upon, but no, studios opt to make more Far Cry/Destiny clones.

      Editing … I don't think anyone even wants to contemplate the legalese around that because of that stupid patent. Fuck WB. At least War of the Chosen flirted with some of those ideas before the filing.

      Editing … Warner Bros should release another game with the Nemesis system. They're the biggest cowards of them all.

      Editing … That would take effort. Can't have that. Not when you can charge people out the nose for hideous Mortal Kombat cosmetics, or pound another nail into the coffin of the Arkham series with another shitty spinoff now exclusive to one and only one VR headset. That'll sell like gangbusters.

      Editing … Yeah I have no idea what to expect from that game. I hope Wonder Woman isn't wearing pants in it. You know, I like my Wonder Woman bare-legged. I sure liked that first movie.

      Editing … I didn't love the casting in the DCEU. Ben Affleck was a fine Batman, but not one of those perfect, unreplaceable casting choices like Ian McKellen as Gandalf, or Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow. Not really an iconic choice. He doesn't hold up to Christian Bale or Robert Pattinson. I'm also not a fan of Henry Cavill's Superman performance (or any of his performances, really). I still thought Batman v Superman (well, the extended cut) was great, and I really liked Zack Snyder's Justice League, but the only casting choice I think the DCEU nailed perfectly was Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.

      Editing … My issue with the DCEU was almost entirely on the writing, not the casting. I was one of the few who found Margot Robbie's Harley Cringe in Suicide Squad. I didn't enjoy her much more in Birds of Prey. Then she gets some good material in the Suicide Squad and I go "Hey, actually this is perfect."

      Editing … My top three are Wonder Woman, Shazam and Gunn's Suicide Squad, and I could be persuaded to put those in any order depending on my mood. Then it's Aquaman, and then probably Man of Steel. I just like the crazy DBZ fights. Man, looking at how rough the overall quality of the movies turned out I'm amazed I thought that they were doing a solid course correction in 2019ish.

      Editing … I liked seeing Hawkman and Doctor Fate in Black Adam. Those characters deserved better writing. There are plenty of recent blockbusters I've hated more than Black Adam but it certainly wasn't "good." Shazam 2 pissed me off significantly more.

      Editing … I considered Black Adam the worst movie I saw in 2022. It had me no longer seeing the DCEU as a series of ups and downs, but as a shit series with a handful of ups. It's also a big part of why I didn't touch Shazam 2, but I didn't enjoy the first Shazam either. I'd go ZSJL, Peacemaker, Wonder Woman, BvS, Birds of Prey?

      Editing … I actually didn't see many movies I hated in 2022. Black Adam is definitely in the bottom 5. I know for sure I disliked Thor: Love and Thunder more.

      Editing … I didn't watch that one. Just as the MCU had already taught me not to watch any of their movies unless it really sounds like everyone enjoys it, Black Adam taught me not to trust the DCEU. Kenobi did the same with Star Wars. No more franchise trash.

      Editing … I don't mind watching the odd bad movie. I still plan to watch Morbius, and I'm so excited to watch the hot mess that is Madame Web. It's squandered potential that upsets me, and the fact that it sometimes feels like I've run out of good movies to watch.

      Editing … I watched Morbius when I was in the mood for an easy viewing experience, and ended up really liking it. I'd definitely rate it higher than most Marvel movies. It's got great spectacle (something I think lots of recent superhero movies lack). I don't expect I'll ever see Madame Web.
