Caught up to #UltimateSpiderman 16 and I still can't get over how GREAT this comic book is. Every issue, just surprises, delights and impresses. Leave it to Hickman and Checchetto to remain this consistent, at this level. If you're even remotely interested in comics, you need to be reading this...

No I still haven't started the famed RPG yet... I'm on the final boss of #TheFirstBerserkerKhazan and well... Its a doozy. I'm likely going to spend all of tomorrow trying to beat him. Made it to Phase 2 of 3 tonight, so uhh... Progress!

I Recently did a video on why I think Hack and Slash Action Games are coming back! There's certainly quite a bit that's happened in video games over the last few years, that I think has primed the return of this much under-served genre. Please give it a look:

With the Release of #TrailsIntoDayBreak2 (of which I'm on the last chapter) early this year, and then the announcement of this, its been a great year for fans of the Falcom's Trails series. And that's to say nothing of the new fans that are going to jump in with the #SkyFC Remake!

Alright so... I gotta say this, and I apologize for the negativity, but what exactly is going on with #UltimateWolverine. We're three issues in, we've seen a bunch of characters, but really, nothing has really progressed forward here. I'll respond with spoilers in the replies (and details)...

After 14 issues, its issue 15 that I'd say was a bit more of a "filler" that didn't really drive too much of the story forward. Don't get me wrong, #UltimateSpiderman is still REALLY good, but yeah, it felt like were "checking in" more so than anything else this month. Awaiting the next issue now...

Really digging the visuals, atmosphere and feel of this trailer. That said... I'm still not sure what this is exactly. Is it a visual novel style narrative choice game or is it a third person horror game? Some gameplay teases would've been great... #SilentHillF

Trailer was really frigging cool and I already am ready to preorder the game. What was strange, was the lack of a trailer teases or marketing push for the game. We got one trailer and then bam, the release date with a huge 10 minute trailer? Definitely different from DS1, for sure. #DeathStranding2

I'm just honestly loving how great #UltimateSpiderman continues to be. Every issue so far, that's counting 14, have been fantastic and intriguing.
Each issue is a great combination of tender, fun moments mixed with earth shattering, plot progressing events that just keep the momentum going!

Really glad that #ShieldHero is continuing with its 4th Season. Season 2 was an abysmal mess, but Season 3 brought back the goods, and really setup an interesting story!
In the summer too, which is interesting!

Hopefully this next project is a #SilentHill One Remake, and not a new Silent Hill or even a jump straight to Silent Hill 3 or 4.
Silent Hill One and Three are basically related, so doing those in order would make a ton of sense!

This is the part that just scares me about the NetEase exodus from foreign markets. Particularly this list in the article. These are some of my favorite creators and creatives in the industry that tried to branch out and make their own studios... If all of these close down? That's an insane loss..

This was my worry when So much Japanese talent was being given the opportunity and money to start their own studios. That the funding would be pulled, and those creators stranded, given that they left their previous companies. How much experience game dev talent is going to be lost?

Pretty excited about this one! This whole thing was already setup in the Ultimate Universe shot... Before even the Ultimate Universe line officially began! I thought they'd wait a while, but as long as its minimal, I don't mind a crossover with 616 every now and then. #UltimateSpiderman

There's so much interesting info in this article, that I highly recommend any fan of WB Games (Batman e.t.c) give it a read, that said, the main insight for me is this:
Due to a lack of executive leadership, most of the directorial talent at these studios (higher up) is gone.

One thing that regularly shocks me about the video game industry is hearing how much time and money is wasted because executives are unwilling or unable to make a decision and communicate it clearly.

Now that I'm done with Brandon Sanderson stuff for a bit. I think I may branch out and try a few other things.
Hearing good things about the #SunEater book series, so I think I'm going to give that series a shot! Any other Fantasy Book Recommendations are welcome!

Just means that they're going to go to the "core team" prototypes and goes through pre-production, and then outsources all the asset creation and larger development. Ubisoft did this for years with Assasin's Creed, and it DID work for them. I suppose EA and Bioware are going for a similar approach.
BioWare has confirmed it’s downsizing as it ‘doesn’t require support from the full studio’ for the new Mass Effect game.
