There isn’t really a damn thing to say here except that the folks atFlashbang Studiosare f*cking geniuses. The only thing we know aboutJetpack Brontosaurusis that you’re a Brontosaurus that flies around with a Jetpack. The premise and the concept art has me sold already.

Whatever one might think aboutDestiny 2‘s new Episode,Revenant, Bungie certainly delivered an interesting new narrative beat. There’splenty of stuff to dobeyond the compressed main “quest”, and the new Vesper’s Host dungeon is fun, too. If you’re not playing it solo, that is. It would seem that Vesper’s Host suffers from at leastsomeof the same problems that have been popping up in Bungie’s dungeons ever since Ghosts of the Deep launched. Notably, Bungie has once again chosen to turn the dungeon’s boss fights into grindy ordeals thanks to their massively inflated health pools....

Ellie, what are you doing? [Update: Even more responses added.] We didn’t know what to make of thetease fromThe Last of Us concept artist Marek Okonearlier this week. Okon said,”Is it about TLOU2? Not really… Maybe… Its classified ;P” We know now that the tease was just a tease for finished artwork,a homage. That’s fine. And it’s lovely. Nice work. But what’s really going on here?
