Activision's own response to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's release seems more muted than previous years. https://bit.ly/3JGcexS

Look, I don’t think the new Running Man looks that good from the trailers, but Edgar Wright deserves the benefit of the doubt and I’ll see it.
But, I’m still recovering from The Times unironically doing the meme in their review iea.org.uk/wp-content/u...

Look. Unreal 5 is a technically beautiful engine; but Halo remake like a lot of UE5 games looks soulless. Devoid of the originals unique art aspects.
I honestly feel the same way about MGS3 deltas look.
Remember when we had all those Unreal Mario videos and we hated it? It’s that.

Having console games and AAA titles running on handheld has been the death of innovation and unique quality in the handheld space.
I also think its been awful for small studios, who can no longer cut their teeth on cheaper to make handheld smaller scale games.

For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

Infamous reference in Yotei makes me happy.
Still want a 4th game spinning off the evil ending of Second Son. Deslin started absorbing everyone’s powers. Cole is someone no one can touch. It writes itself as a returning lone hero story

Managed to go from "it's insane" when talking about the price, to "it's insane".
It went from £7.99 a month, to a tier system requiring around £10-12 a month. In two years its doubled in price if you want what you had for that £7.99.
It was a great tool because it was a deal. Not anymore

With Game Pass now more expensive the future of the service has been questioned. If it goes, we'll lose more than 'cheap' access to Xbox games. https://bit.ly/4h0sLJa

@playtonicgames.com Just got your Yooka-Replay Kickstarter email. Said a discount for original backers on digital stores. I only got the physical version, so do I lose out on the discount?

Easily the low point in the franchise. Felt like playing the PS2 games, which obviously Kiwami have gone back and remastered.
Some dramatic moments need a complete rework too, but I'm hype as hell for this.
I hope they do 4 next so more people play the one game that might rival 0.
