More sweet nothings from Uncle Phil. He's a marketing dude making marketing statements so it is to be expected, I guess.

The question is why is his every utterance given the time of day? Perhaps a bit of the cold shoulder treatment might lead to some more substance.

More Spencerian waffle - there is pretty much no future that isn't compatible with such vagueness.

Away this weekend, but if I get a chance it is time to progress my Resident Evil remake/remaster/reimagining/re-anything else run (RErrrrr for short). RE Zero is done so next up is OG RE remake.

I haven't played a mainline SMT since Lucifer's Call, so I'm looking forward to this.

I just want a surprise!

By "surprise" I mean brand new WipeOut, nothing more, nothing less.

I might check it out if they remove the multiplayer components, add a compelling narrative and characters.

@nessisonett Authenticity sells. If you can fake that, you've got it made.

I have had the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy in my backlog for ages, having completed the first one. I once again feel the urge to point dramatically across the room and shout "Objection!", so now's the time for Justice for All.

@TheAmbienWalrus Hmmmm... Assegai, nippy but weak shields, keep hammering that absorb button! Feisar is strictly noobs only.

So nearly Nier not so far.

Deep into Kingdoms of Amalur, it's been OK so far, but is starting to wear out it's welcome. Hope to put it to bed soon.

Promises? They're more a sort of guideline.

If he likes it, it must be bad.

I find that the greatest strength of a subscription service, access to games that you might not ordinarily buy, is also it's greatest weakness, in that you waste time on things which are not to your taste.

I had a lot of fun whilst subscribed last year but I prefer to research and pick my games more carefully.

I look forward to what, if anything, emerges from this. It would be great to have an additional "voice" in the console market.

I expect a marketing-led company such as Microsoft to be reluctant to discuss competitor ecosystems at or around flagship events.

For the time being I think they would prefer low-key if not stealth announcements outside of the "E3 window."

I have to say I sort of agree that the series is a satire of American 50s optimism. Setting a game elsewhere could introduce a mismatch with its atmosphere.

Always read the small print...

OK, it's bad enough that the names got released into the wild, so kindly continue mocking.
