"'You are in a computer game, Max.' Don’t you just love it when game characters become self-aware?
Just like other forms of art, games have their fair share of (often humorous) moments where the characters, story or even mechanics break that barrier that exists between the imaginary plane and our own world. Whether it’s Max Payne acknowledging that he’s being directly manipulated by someone holding a controller or mouse or the jokes made at the expense of internet forum trolls in Super Paper Mario, breaking the fourth wall is a clever mechanic that can not only forge a special connection with the player, but also lets us take a step back from the engagement, chuckle, and remember that it’s only a game.
With the release of Marvel anti-hero Deadpool’s own game yesterday, we got to thinking: what better time than now to look back at all of those illusion-breaking moments that games like to employ?"

The PC version of No More Heroes has received an update that now allows gamers to enjoy it with a keyboard and mouse.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
The battle with Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid is definitely my favourite fourth-wall-breaking moment. Completely unexpected and probably one of the coolest boss battles in any video game.
