Want the best part of this? It is the same writer, the story is made by the same person that worked on Morbius. They literally rewarded mediocrity

You realize the Morbius Re-release is one of the greatest cases of a large corporation getting punked in the history of PR.

The console war bullshit has been tired since it was Nintendo vs. Sega. It frustrates me that it has been this pervasive over the years, and announcements like this (and a lot of what the leaders of the game companies do) just feed into it and make it worse.

quite on the contrary, the moderation tools of Xbox seem to work for me. Apparently toxic young annoying screamkids are now shelved off into game lobbys where they encounter only players that have been branded the same by others, while most times you can enjoy a pretty civilised gaming experience.
COD is always garbage…

Also, the number of young annoying kids my friends and I encountered during the early days of Xbox Live made me want to stay FAR away, even though the PS3 had inferior online experiences. It’s always seemed to me that Xboxes have always been something bought for kids, and Playstations were what adults more often…

MS has never had a monopoly in the console market. That’s why the FTC’s case failed. Anti-trust law really only applies to companies with dominant market shares. If you don’t have that, you can do all sorts of anti-competitive shit and regulators won’t bat an eye (see Epic).

Latency is still far too much of an issue in the US.

I mean, that’s like counting a movie’s trailer as its “debut”

To make more money? Same reason any dev/pub decides to go multiplatform.

Didn’t Sony also say they were shooting to be the most powerful console of the next gen?

Quite a few pal’d around with dictators. Rodman and Kim Jong. Depardieu and Segal with Putin. Sting and Assad. Akron and Museveni. Looks like the Saudis want to get in on the act. 

I wouldn’t write it off completely. Remember, EA Play is already on PSN. I think Sony would allow GP on PSN if:

Microsoft is first, and always has been, an software company. I’m sure we will see some common sense,  money making decisions to place games like Starfield and other 1st party games on other platforms, as they continue to make XBOX consoles, but slowly phase those out over the next 10 years, as we move into a time in…

There’s no way Sony lets gamepass onto their platform.

They still have a big enough install base, and get to benefit from selling third party games on their own platform for a piece of the profit, and can keep the whole profit of selling first party games in their own store. 

yeah, i sold mine because i couldn’t play it without headphones on, the noise was too irritating.

I bought a PS5 mainly to play my PS4 games at 60 fps and with faster load times. That said, there are still a bunch of titles that need updates to increase the FPS cap (Bloodborne, Gravity Rush 2, The Last Guardian, etc). The Last Guardian is particularly annoying because the original version of the game wasn’t capped…

No comment from me, but while working at my first coding job in 2001-2002, two of the development team got into a literal fist-fight on the topic of romance options in Baldur’s Gate 2 (specifically Aerie vs Jaheira).

I’m hoping against hope that they forgo making it yet another movie-long origin story. Get it out of the way in the first 10 minutes or, hell, just give audiences a promotional mini comic book with a crash course on the team’s origin to thumb through while they wait for the movie to start.

Orange stain? Sounds like the new “presidential model.”
