Mat had even more to say in his interview with the Game Business lol and he also responded to a Kotaku post that was quoting Asha's lies about Xbox consoles selling out.

Basically the only real positive Xbox has had lately is from Xbox fans patting each other on the back on social media.

@XenonKnight I jumped to conclusions while not knowing all the details.

A private equity firm just considered buying them for $100 billion, there was no talks

They've been in talks to sell the whole Xbox division for $100 billion to a private equity firm but it fell through.

@74TH4M Argos has it, says it's available for delivery and to pick up in-store.

@Shepherd_Tallon Actually yeah, that's probably where the plays better on PS5 slogan comes from.

I hope there's time for Rockstar to implement it on GTA and this is amazing this late in the Gen since it seemed like the base PS5 wouldn't get any version of it.

It's actually a new Crash Bandicoot, they bought the rights back.

Too many new games coming out for me to give this game another try but I might get around to it eventually since I couldn't get into it the first time I tried.

@johnedwin Yeah and brand new day did twice that but we aren't talking about worldwide. Wolverine's movies underperform in Japan and a Japanese Spiderman show from the late 70s was the inspiration for Power Rangers. Their popularity is just not on the same level.

Yep just like in most of the world Spiderman is just a more popular character over there, that's why the Wolverine movies do worse at the box office than Spiderman as well.

This was just puddlegate 2.0. Lot's of performative nonsense and nitpicking.

All those people losing their jobs and all over the internet Xbox fans are either making excuses or claiming its a good thing like they did with the ABK acquisition. You'd think they would've learned their lesson by now but just like how they fell for the big beautiful bill they're falling for the great Xbox reset lmao.

Was looking forward to Zelda since I haven't played it since I was a little kid but after that I'm probably going to pass on it.

It just reminded me of a cheap Unity engine game, at one point I even had to wipe my eyes because I thought my vision had went funny. Looks nice at a distance though.

The name is from Tibetan mythology, from a group called the Mosuo people, they live in the Himalayas. In their culture, a Daba is basically like a sorcerer or shaman and he can communicate with the spirits.

That being said that name is definitely not going to do it any favours in the West.

Reminds me of puddle gate, loads of dead inside losers complaining about nothing.

Remember really liking this one at the time and thinking the telkanisis was cool. I'd definitely play it again.

@Dragon83 Origins is a 12 hour game, if it took you twice that then it's just a skill issue.

Instead of debating whether PC scroungers should get a digital copy on their digital platform we should probably be encouraging people to get the physical copy of Tokon instead.

@Oram77 I would say it's more like people importing a phone from another country then complaining the bands aren't supported so it doesn't work properly in their country.

There's a work around for PSN but they're under no obligation to offer one for PC in countries they don't operate in.

@rachetmarvel and it's still worth it for my personal satisfaction. It's a downside sure but it's one I'm willing to accept.

The fact they even had to come out and say this is already an L.

If it only fit on 3 ultra hd Blu-ray discs or something they should've still done it. That would've actually just made me want the physical edition even more but they're probably going to say you need a terabyte of free space or something next.

Another fake trailer at an Xbox showcase, I'm not surprised.

A comment I just saw about this actually sums it up quite nicely.

"6 years earlier and being better than the Steam Machine while being $450 cheaper, and if you got it at launch it was $650 cheaper."

The Steam Machine is a joke and pcmr fans are an even bigger joke lol.

Digital Foundry: Tests at matched settings between Steam Machine and PS5 show that the Valve hardware can fall a little short.

But it's twice the price with less memory and no controller, lmao this is hilarious.

All this drama and it was just Xbox being dumb as usual.

"We incorrectly stated that PlayStation Plus is required for local co-op splitscreen play. Local splitscreen co-op requires a PlayStation account for each player but does not require a PlayStation Plus account."

@awp69 nope it's an obvious Microsoft F up. No other game on playstation requires it for 2 player offline co-op. The snake oil salesman at Microsoft are just desperately trying to boost their MAU.

@Max_the_German There's online co-op. I heard the game was also always online but that seems like a mistake from what I can see after looking it up myself.

@nomither6 Worth every penny to avoid having to associate with the lowest forms of life on Steam, the bottom feeders natural habitat.

Nasty side effect of it unnecessarily being an always online game even for just the singleplayer campaign. Hopefully it's sorted before it's out because it's stupid but the fact it's always online for the story is just another reason for me to wait until it hits the bargain bin.

"As our primary policy at present, for first-party single player games we intend to further refine and enhance the unique value of the gameplay experience that can be delivered on PlayStation."

Nishino ofc could have been a bit clearer but he's saying their singleplayer 1st party brings value to the PS5 and he's right. Ofc policies can change and nothing is absolute but that's just the reality with everything, what's important right now though is their new policy and that policy is no 1st party singleplayer PC ports.

Schreier made a post about this.

Schreier: "I guess they're not going to lay this out publicly, but there's no ambiguity in their strategy. During a townhall a few weeks ago, Hermen Hulst told staff that their single-player narrative games will be PlayStation only, and he explained that they were inconsistent with their PC releases, they didn't make enough money, and they want to keep their IP aligned to their own platform. Confirmed this with two people who heard him say it. There's no "case by case" here."

There's no case by case, they just aren't bringing their singleplayer games to PC.

A french journalist is saying he's heard Arkane is definitely close to being closed as well. They must be trying to negotiate as well.

They asked him if he had heard about Bluepoint and then pressed him to pick a game he would've liked to work on with Bluepoint. He clearly had no intention of remaking ICO it's just IGN manufacturing something to be mad about as usual.

@cainhurst94 Yeah exactly, Wolverine is the most viewed trailer from the September state of play but these were new reveals so something new to talk about.

It's because it's the 3rd trailer Wolverine has got so people have already talked about Wolverine a lot already.

The other 3 games are first reveals.

Yeah ofc I figured the generative AI is why she looks 3 different ages in the trailer straight away.

The owner of Shift Up and the games director actually said that not long ago they were going to use loads of generative A.I.

Kim Hyung-tae: Integrating generative AI will allow one employee to do the work of 100 people.

It's pretty obvious he doesn't see generative AI as just a tool and wants it to be a replacement.

I'm not a fan of early access at all but anything that leaves PC and Xbox players out in the cold, even if it's just for a few days is totally fine by me.

Now that they've said they are going back to exclusives they should announce Bloodborne 2.

@Ashina If Nintendo is going to do 3rd party exclusives like with Duskbloods I don't see any reason why Sony shouldn't be allowed to do some 3rd party exclusives either.

@Oram77 Because they ran back to SmashJT after that comment and said guess what I did, daddy.

You should probably update this article because it's not true. There are battles in the story mode that you take part in and apparently plenty of them.

https://www.thegamer.com/marvel-tokon-fighting-souls-ten-hour-comic-story-mode-battles/

@Judal27 when you download them, which is normal on every platform.

You're unable to replicate it on the PS5 because it's not happening on the PS5.

Tom Henderson is not a credible source, he just claimed his sources told him the new god of war would be at the State of Play that was supposed to be on the 16th. He's full of *****.

Nobody has even seen any gameplay yet.

@1UP-HUSKY Yep he left Naughty around the time Uncharted 4 released and didn't do any work on TLOU2 at all but that won't stop people moaning about it all over again since the real Karens like @Stocksy don't actually need an excuse act like a Karen, it's just in their nature.

@Stocksy Yeah work culture so terrible that developers line up to get a job there and the gaps between games are so long that by the time a sequel is announced sometimes the hype just isn't there anymore.

Karens have become so entitled that they bitch about 100k plus jobs that made them work some paid overtime then the even more pathetic Karens online get worked up on their behalf simply because it's easy to trigger a Karen.

Ofc you'll never see it that way though, a Karen never does.

It being voluntary paid overtime that nets you a bonus didn't stop any of the Karens crying about it online, I wonder why.
