Also, Chloe Bennet is totally showing up in Secret Invasion, right? Like that was the reason she left the Powerpuff Girls show in the first place?

So when Vin Diesel was saying “maybe two more” instead of “just one more” he was talking about Hobbs and Shaw 2, right?

So, this is a pretty clear indication that Willow is dead, dead huh, and not just “bumped out out of the current production cycle” like Kasdan implied.

Sort of surprised that Ganon (not Ganondorf) from Ocarina of Time didn’t make the cut. Probably the most cinematic of all the Ganon fights, so basic and elemental that they essentially have never tried to do a “straightforward” one again (closest was probably Twilight Princess where the twist was you fight Ganon first…

Even people who hate superheroes know who Batman is.

I mean, I know this is all written by an image consultant and packaged to make her look good ... but this all sounds amazingly healthy

No, I expect them not to use a community mod as a commercial release, because making sure the rights for all the assets included are kosher is an absolute nightmare, for the reasons you specifically lay out.

When I first heard that CDPR was incorporating an HD texture mod into Witcher 3 (on consoles too!) I was wondering how they were going to prove the provenance of all the shit in there in order to be able to sell it.

The answer, it seems, is they ... just didn’t do the work.

Huge chance this means that something else is…

I think what they’re asserting is that if the robbers had to front $500 to get the door unlocked, they probably wouldn’t have done the robbery.

It’s really wild to play GoldenEye, which came out 25 years ago, and see it’s pretty damn jank in a modern context, and then try Halo, which is 21 years old, and see a game that’s surprisingly modern and playbable comparatively.

The Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope thing was sort of baffling to me. It felt like it never came out at all. I listen to a lot of games podcasts, and I don’t think I remember a single person talking about playing it? It’s wild how much it felt like it just came and went. I have no idea why. Like it wasn’t even bad or…

Peele can consistently open non-franchise original-concept R-rated movies to $100M+ box offices. Yes, Get Out changed the film landscape.

When they say unexpectedly, I think they really mean it. There were four open editorial positions actively being hired last time I took a glance at their job board.

The thing is, the game sold well enough, and had a dedicated enough online fanbase, that I’m sure Sony would make a sequel if they wanted to. If you are looking for reasons why maybe they didn’t, I would guess that issues about studio and project management were probably higher on Sony’s concerns list than a bunch of…

Yeah, I can only think this refers to CoD 1 (and maaaaaaaybe CoD 2).

It seems that what likely happened here was that they promised the OST with no intention of contracting Mick to do it. That the version that they had cooking internally cobbled together from the game tracks was always supposed to be the single and only version of the OST. When Mick went over their heads to get a…

Yeah, the OST thing is the thing that caused this all to go public, but the real meat of it is that they not only didn’t pay him for 11 months, but that they specifically did so because they needed to be able to retroactively reject things in order to make their sound budget ... and then used all the music they…

Yeah, reading the full Medium post it reads much more like Gordon absolutely at least partially blames Mossholder for some of the OST debacle, but holds back on really going full blast on him because he’s not management (or at least not senior management) and the buck didn’t stop at him.

At least from my personal experience, the exodus from PSN as the default “online games hangout space” to Discord has been continual and almost perpetual. It started in 2020 when they messed with parties, and continued when people couldn’t get PS5s and upgraded their PCs instead.
