The part that’s grimly funny about Sony nuking Bluepoint is that the thesis of the PS5 is “remember how good the PS4 was?” and they can’t even manage that right.

Sony has pulled a generational bag fumble, and in my opinion, it's all downstream from Jim Ryan's leadership going all-in on the Live Service model and having nearly every studio working on one (Bluepoint was working on a God of War live service) and what we're seeing is the long tailed fallout.
BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.

A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

I’ve talked a lot of shit about Bluepoint remakes in the past so lemme make my feelings 100% clear: this is the most bullheaded, insane, dogshit decision Sony has made since they killed Japan Studios. A wealth of incredible technical know-how for their systems being thrown straight in the trash

was thinking about this and how the first new Mega Man game in years was an original series Mega Man, and then nothing for several more years, and then the first new Mega Man since is... another original series Mega Man
I have gotten completely sick of the current video game story trope of having older protagonists come back and completely overshadow new characters. So I have put together a short feature that I hope isn't *just* a rant. Please read!

fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

"The PS2 had three Grand Theft Autos, GTA5 had three Playstations"

This is well put. So *many* technologies are joyous and progressive. The web was invented in a PUBLICLY FUNDED UNIVERSITY! It is, in fact, an aberration that the fascist VCs think they're the default with their approach to tech. They were only ever supposed to be a tiny fraction of the ecosystem.
Once, technology solved problems. People liked having problems solved, so they liked technology.

Tech execs started to think of that sentiment as their due. So when they stopped solving problems, and people stopped liking them, they became outraged. "How dare you not love whatever we give you?"
I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.

But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

We gotta imprison every single motherfucker who keeps insisting we can just use lumens and raytracing instead of actually making lighting for the fucking game you made

Every one of the main characters has a different name for you, and the routes (which it has) are fundamentally about who you choose to affirm and who you choose to reject.

It is structured EXACTLY the way a dating sim is, with an emphasis on allegiance and your feelings over plot.

Just saw an ad that started out "your kids won't remember their best day of screen time" and while I of course broadly agree with the sentiment that you should do activities with your children, don't tell me i don't remember beating zelda a link to the past

I'm not one to typically judge people on what games they play but I think if you play Comfy Border Patrol, you're a genuinely reprehensible human
Papers, Please but it doesn't make you feel bad so you can just enjoy the fun gameplay loop without the bummer aesthetics and story!

instead of arguing subjective video game opinions or throwing around sales numbers, this feels like actual tangible evidence that we’ve been playing it too safe for the last 10 years

and that’s without mentioning the key art is definitely just a buncha people-looking people
