Rockstar didn’t even acknowledge GTA IV’s tenth anniversary. Only by removing several songs from its radio stations.

Sega celebrate the 15th anniversary of Sonic by releasing Sonic 06.

    Just before Unreal’s 25th anniversary Epic pulled all games from the series from all stores. The games which give Epic’s own engine its name. The engine that powers many modern games and even movie productions.

      Man I would love a new Unreal Tournament, that game was my jam. It’s funny that they completely abandoned that game once the engine became so profitable.

        Not the engine, as they sold it a lot previously, but Fortnite. UT2017 was abandoned because it performed worse than some mode to a side-project that gained a surprisingly wild traction. I don’t hate FN, but that’s the thing that kicked off chair from under this hanged franchise.

          And to think that Unreal Tournament was once used as the benchmark of what the engine could do. It’s in the name.

            Watching the OUTSTANDING screenshots in retro youtuber’s video of some HYPERREALISTIC MODELS AND EFFECTS from the first games is so much fun. But yeah, they were top of their league at that time and melted not one but many PC components.
