Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

A "Everyone to the Stadium!" event will start on Dec 24 at 3 am UTC to replace the cancelled holiday event.

The rewards are the same (including the Santa hat), and the game will award you more points per match to compensate for your points being reset to 0.

As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

ININ is now pricing a presumably 16GB Game Card for +€10. So the delta from a 64GB card is only €5? How little will a 32GB card save … €2?

The delayed intro of smaller cards (due to Macronix’s technical difficulties; 64GB card is made by Rohm) coincides with the rising memory costs—a double whammy.
ININ confirms that the cost of a Game Card is “at least €15” over a Game-Key Card: iningames.com/blogs/news/r...

This explains the observation that several indie physical releases are priced about $20 over the download versions: ninpatentswatch.wordpress.com/2025/11/15/n...

I can confirm that smaller capacity Switch 2 game cards are in production but due to chip shortages it will take time before we see widespread availability

Despite the smaller capacity, these cards will still be expensive due to rising cost of materials

Game-Key Cards are not going away

This is tremendous work. Lays the entire thing out as clearly and thoroughly as I've seen. Very patient, empathetic, and addresses questions people might have about the effectiveness of a boycott like this.

I think the best example in games is people will fucking drink deep from the well of machine-learned performance enhancement (DLSS, PSSR, FSR, etc) without a second thought that it, too, is ultimately AI-led technology, when push comes to shove.

In 2017, Last of Us director Bruce Straley quit Naughty Dog following the release of Uncharted 4. He has stayed out of the games spotlight ever since. Now for the first time since then, Straley told me why exactly he quit and how his new studio came together. www.polygon.com/bruce-strale...

Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

Sakurai says that the game's development team will be disbanded soon. There will be one more balance patch (or so) before that happens.

The PlayStation Store has seemingly revealed that a Resident Evil veteran will be returning in Resident Evil Requiem.

This is a separate character to the one who was potentially 'leaked' in a GameStop retail listing earlier.

The liner notes booklet in this OST release contains some of my thoughts on every track - what I like, what I think could be better, inspirations, explanations on some compositional choices, etc. A few lead sheets like the Golfers chart here are also included!

So the current situation on Skate Story

PS5 Pro - terrible performance, do not buy
PS5 Base - much better, mostly 60 but sometimes stutters
Switch 2 - default mode is not good, need to check performance mode
Xbox - TBD

Steam - extremely smooth and runs great on lots of hardware - buy it here!

Last night I finished Detective Instinct! Despite playtesting the game multiple times, I'm still left speechless whenever I reach the credits. My opinion is certainly biased, but I think Detective Instinct is a special game made with a lot of heart and love for the genre. I highly recommend it!

I approve of this video! It's focused on just one aspect of CRT gaming but it's fun to see filmed versions of these examples. Check it out! Really well done.
