"Eman Ayaz talks at length about the “grief” she’s facing following the scrapping of a project she worked on for three years."

Unfortunately sh*t happens I've been made redundant before at the worst time and it's a terrible curveball, but don't talk about grief until a close loved one has died. Then you will surely know grief.

I don't preorder many games, but I usually preorder the Resi games and I think I will be repeating the habit once again.

Now I did enjoy the recreation of French Revolution Paris so I'm very happy it's getting the 60fps update at last.

However!!
Whoever decided it would be a good idea to voice the Paris NPCs with Cockney accents should be made to face Madame Guillotine!!

A good 6 months 'beta testing' on Xbox & PC followed by the 'patched' release for PS5 in August/ September, which is where the real money will be made (certainly not in Gamepass land or PC pirate country).

Rumour has it that remasters of old games will be released in the future, but nobody knows when.

I wonder if the corporate suits made them sign an NDA too before showing them anything, I suspect they did.

Please don't anyone mix up 'niceness' and 'charity' with corporate marketing or even 'social optics'.

I hope they person involved gets their wish and can find whatever enjoyment they can in their difficult last days.

Bloodborne
Arkham Knight
Alien isolation

Just those 3 needing 60fps left for me and I'll be happy.

If Bloodborne gets a 'power saving mode' before it gets it's 60fps I'll be seriously cross!

wow, ultimate cosplay! I hope she enjoys playing Lara.

There's just a couple of things that I can't quite put my finger on that are a little smaller then I remember Lara having, but apart from that it's a great interpretation!

@PuppetMaster
I always wondered why at the menu for the Yakuza games (the ones I've played a bit) why you can choose to jump to the 2P arcade games, so why not include the 1P games too, rather then having to run around to different arcades to start them.

But yes, there's a big stack of PS5 fully emulated SEGA arcade games there waiting to get wrapped up in a lovely collection, plus all the Master System, Game Gear, Megadrive etc.

I'm think something along the lines of a SEGA version of the Atari50 collection, with all the history documented too would be perfect.

Each run has been a tense session in exploration and escape so far. Quite enjoying it and also that it's quite easy to dip in and out of.

Something new please Ninja Theory!

By the way, apparently the next version of windows is to be called
'Sloppy McSlopface'

Yeah, he wants alot of things doesn't he.

I'm afraid slop is slop, AI generated or not.

How about we use the term 'MS Slop' instead? There's quite a lot of that too.

Score one for physical media!!

Happy New Year everyone!!

2026 will be the year Bloodborne gets back into the headlines in a big way.

You heard it here first!

Persona 5 Royal..with cheese!

The end of Death Stranding 2 (once you'd completed the final delivery order) was mind-blowing and completely bonkers.

Very Kojima!

Can you combine it with the PSVR2 to play GT7? That would be the perfect controller setup!!

@gtautomatic I agree, it's almost like the 'sale' is now the regular price which people wait for as it generally repeats every month at least (with maybe 20% off) and the regular price is the 'anti sale' where the prices are raised for 2 weeks in a month, so nobody buys. If you get my meaning.

@Czar_Khastik best way to prevent that happening is to preorder them, then you've got a guaranteed digital game reserved in your name on day 1!

All the sega arcade classics in one perfect compilation with history similar to the Atari one.

Wo Long is an excellent game!

Tip, to beat the first proper boss you MUST parry. It's a Parrying tutorial in disguise really, once you do it they are easy peasy.

Well that's very nice and very good.

It's still not PS5 Bloodborne in any form though... sniff

Funnily enough I completed this last night.
I have to say the end game (post last order) was epic in only the way Kojima could make it.
Top game and my personal GOTY, I hope all our PC owning friends enjoy it too (and get to the end!).

What's even sadder then these 'leakers' giving out there nonsense rumours, is when they deny rumours or leaks that they didn't start themselves.

Finally, people are tired of eating the same regurgitated *****.

And just in time for the Black Friday sale!
(Please)

Fingers crossed for a discount on Ghost of Yotei.

Too soon?

It'll be a new design for the 'This is an Xbox' sticker range.

Why it'll be TLOU3!

"old rope!! Old rope for sale!!
Anyone want old rope!!
Old rope for sale here, money accepted!!"

I heard Mortal Kombat Collection is the first cross-buy game.

Many people are cross they bought it!!!

I'll get my coat.

Surely Decima will be used.
The fact he managed to make Death Stranding 2 appear to run without loading screens at all surely shows how much his team have mastered what must be one of the more powerful engines out there.

Of course it's going to be free multiplayer on the next Xbox, it's a PC with an Xbox sticker on it.

It's be like trying to make every PC gamer pay for multiplayer, impossible!!

Is it a leak or is it stating the bleeding obvious.

I'm going to leak now, Gears 2&3 also coming to PlayStation in the future.

You might as well say sleeping, eating and w*nking are in competition with PlayStation, if the argument is taking time away from gaming.

I wonder if he asked Co-pilot to write that little speech for him.

Great game! Played it through in essential and thought was brilliant.

Reminds me of when Sonic games started appearing on Nintendo!

Antiquated?? What a strange and interesting choice of words from the marketing department.

I think the real message is that Xbox exclusives are now irrelevant and MS are simply crying because their strategy of buying exclusives (for Gamepass) has failed, the big chequebook spending of Bethesda and Activistion (for Gamepass exclusives) has also failed.
Now they have to resort to multiplatform to have any form of relevance and so for them the strategy of console exclusives is 'antiquated'.

Both SONY and Nintendo's strategy of console exclusives however is anything but, you can see how games like Astrobot and Ghost of Yotei push the envelope on what can be created (in PS5 examples) or any Mario game on what new ideas can be brought to the table.

I thought that having those special editions that didn't include the game was already taking the p1ss, but now the new trend is to have game discs without the game on it...WTF!!!

Surely it costs the same to print 1.3GB or 77GB to a disc?

Just shows how iconic SF2 really is, 4 named versions later but SF2 is still the one that McD's (and Capcom) want to use for the collaboration.

Totally awesome....now I want a Big Mac.

PS5 + PS Portal and you have a very similar (somewhat better) experience for around half the price.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Agreed!!

For some reasons the core principle of Lumines just doesn't work for me either. It's all very pretty and sounds good but I just find the gameplay boring.

Well then, what's the point of it?

If you need to have a download to make the game actually run, might as well just stick with the digital version.

Game preservationists, does this really count? Might as well just be a URL in a text file on the disc that calls the whole game to download.
It's just smoke and mirrors from MS again.

"Personally, we’re not all that inspired by Miary’s design – she’s your typical busty female fighting game character."

Remember, we're not supposed to enjoy boobies anymore these days.

Alan Wake 2 is brilliant but do not sleep on Cocoon, it is a masterpiece.

And the internet breeds another moron...

God is Michael Patcher still going???

Bit weird to say 'connect to TV' is the future and SONY is blowing it, when SONY makes some incredible TVs which are full of options for gaming modes.
