I walk past one on my way home every day but they rarely have anything interesting there these days.

It’s funny how everyone looks like a Gundam cosplayer but the Gquuuuux just looks like Eva 01 in End of Eva

Probably missed this conversation but I think Bluepoint remaking Bloodborne would either be at best a learning opportunity for them and at worst a really hideous game.

honestly that seems fine, I got to avoid buying a console this generation and I’ll enjoy getting caught up on whatever naughty dog and insomniac and guerrilla have done by the time the PS6 comes out, I’ve got plenty to play in the meantime and I’ll eventually need to replace my PS4

A two-level demo with some? inspiration?

Kinda wonder about this since I thought the Insomniac leak showed that the Marvel games have Disney taking a colossal cut, so they gotta make as much money as they can on 'em.

To that same extent, while I really enjoyed playing Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Spider-Man 2 finally sort of drove a stake into the heart of Sony’s whole expensive cinematic cotton candy game thing for me.

Yotei was probably neat, Wolverine…we’ll see, but unless a PS5 (or 6?) falls into my lap, I’m good. Plenty of other stuff to play.

I guess those were the main two I played as well? and I also really liked Rift Apart and wouldn’t have touched it otherwise. technically I did put some time into Returnal as well and didn’t really like it (so I guess they’ve spared me from seeing if I like Saros any better), Ragnarok I got on PS4 because it came out so late on PC, and Helldivers is solidly in the “we would be leaving too much money on the table to not put this on PC” category. so pretty small potatoes overall. but I do basically want an excuse to buy a PS6 anyway and all their big prestige studios are only just going to be shipping their first PS5 “exclusives” like a year before the PS6 comes out at this rate so this seems like an easy call. I basically like Sony AAA stuff (I skipped TLOU2 and have ignored Sucker Punch’s recent output but other than that I don’t have a bone to pick with them or anything) so idk what it says if the outcome of this is kind of negligible for me.

Gran Turismo 7 is the best gamepad racing experience ever made and worth buying the console for.

GT7 has deeper lore than Elden Ring, better graphics and framerate, better music, better online, better controls, more content and updates, higher challenge, and zero PC players (hackers)

as someone who loudly dislikes brown games (reminder that the time Richard lemarchand handed me his buisiness card I said ‘oh it’s brown like your games’) this guy sure misses the point. doom is a brown game according to this and a ton of sports games are skewing the results a lot. I don’t think this is a good analysis of data. my cynical brain just wants to say this is a cash in on the popularity of Jon bois but i don’t want to be mean. it doesn’t talk about games shift into realism and it doesn’t mention the change from crts to lcds or anything. it’s a lot of lines
good video if you like a lot of lines or if you wanna hear about how he made a program to tell him something his eyes can do for him on their own

I watched this video yesterday and I thought there would be some AI ad or something, but in the end there wasn’t, so I had no idea what he was doing.

It was disappointing, yeah. I saw the title and thought about the OMM article about Rune and sewer levels. The most interesting part of the video is where he determined Vice City was the most brown game. Which, yeah, using his particular method of analyzing brownness it probably is. Nice troll.

It doesn’t seem so fine to me because I like not paying for games
