Remember Pac-Man World? | Thursday, 10.17.24
Remember the original Pac-Man World 25 years ago? Originally, developed and published by Namco (now "Bandai Namco") it was released on October 15, 1999 in North America as a way to celebrate Pac-Man's 20th anniversary since the original arcade game (included in the game as a unlockable bonus) was released in 1980.
And, as of 2022, Now Production remastered the iconic 3D platformer from the ground up as "Pac-Man World Re-Pac", except it also includes post-launch DLC and a few tweaks to adjust any gameplay difficulty ranging from playing the game either on "easy", "normal", or on "hard". However, just like with Pac-Man Museum Plus, Ms. Pac-Man and several other established characters have either been removed or replaced entirely due to Bandai Namco's ongoing dispute with AtGames over the rights to Ms. Pac-Man herself. Plus, despite some belief, Pac-Man World Re-Pac isn't part of Bandai Namco's Encore series of remasters unlike a few games like Mr. Driller Drill Land ("Mr. Driller Encore" in Japan) and Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series ("Kaze no Klonoa 1+2 Encore" in Japan) for example.
Microsoft "owns" Activision | Thursday, 10.17.24
Can you believe it's been a year ago since Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard?
It's a selfish low bow I agree, but more importantly, following company layoffs, fellow Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon fans (myself included) are shocked to find that Toys for Bob (the developer behind Spyro Reignited Trilogy and Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time) had split from Activision Blizzard following the release of Crash Team Rumble not because Crash 4 initially underperformed in its initial sales figures in comparison to both the N. Sane Trilogy and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (despite being a commercial success after reaching at least 5 million copies worldwide by April 2024), but because they went "indie", which effectively cancelled any development on both a fourth season of Crash Team Rumble (meaning no Nina Cortex nor Pinstripe Potoroo), but also any plans for a "Crash Bandicoot 5" anytime soon.
