I think that every higher-up and executive in Xbox, Microsoft Gaming, and Microsoft deserve a huge bonus and salary boost for their brave work today. It takes a hell of a lot of ambition and hard work to do something so stupid.

Well... enjoy your 30fps, RDR2 fans.

Oh its animated. Intrigued

Sucks that Sony is significantly deprioritizing their smaller franchises, but at least they're licensing it to Bandai Namco, and it's nice that Patapon will be available on modern hardware.

Hopefully this collection does well so that we can finally get a new Patapon movie game!

I'll wait for the mod that turns her into SpongeBob.

Hell yes. We need more good original VR games like Blade and Sorcery, Saints and Sinners, and Boneworks. Not as in action or fighting games, but moreso, great games that define the platform.

I hope Halo comes to the Ouya.

1. This doesn't look terrible, but the fact that it's made by GameMill makes me very cautious.
2. They stretched out the Nickelodeon logo at the end of the trailer.

HATSUNE MIKU, is that you!?

I do not ever want to see this website use the word "rizz" ever again.

It's really funny seeing grown adults get mad over a little Roblox game. Yeah, it's not particularly high quality, but it doesn't really seem harmful. And even if it was a high quality Roblox game, even if this game was as quality as something like Elden Ring, you'd still complain and still wouldn't play it.

What I'm saying is, calling children stupid over a gardening game is kinda pathetic.

This Call of Duty game is powered by your tears of pain joy when you see another wonderful microtransaction that you can buy!

"In celebration of this magnificent win against the FTC, we'll be shutting down ten of our gaming studios!"
— Mr. Microsoft, probably.

They better release swimsuits skins for every character. They don't have the balls to release a swimsuit skin for Jeff the Land Shark.

Note to self: Make an action game with boobies.

I can't wait for this game to never get a remaster or performance boost on a hardware successor.

If that's the case, this could potentially be a smart decision. Putting out a small collection of Halo titles for PlayStation users to get a taste of, and if they like it, maybe they'll buy an Xbox (or PC) to play Halo!

Will it actually work? Hell no! Or at least probably not, but it's not a bad idea, I just doubt that most people will be willing to switch platforms, or buy a Xbox alongside their PlayStation, just to play Halo.

Then again, some people buy Nintendo consoles just for Mario Kart, so what the hell am I talking about?

The Nintendo Switch has sold over 150 million units from March 2017 to December 2024. https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/hard_soft/index.html

The PlayStation 5 sold 9.5 million units during the holiday season of 2024, and has sold 75 million units from November 2020 to December 2024. https://www.ign.com/articles/ps5-has-best-holiday-ever-overall-sales-pass-75-million

Netflix Games shut down its biggest game studio and lost some major people in the gaming industry in October of 2024, and in February of this year, they laid off employees that worked at Oxenfree developer "Night School Studio". https://venturebeat.com/games/netflix-shutters-its-only-triple-a-studio-loses-major-industry-hires/ https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/netflix-has-laid-off-staff-at-oxenfree-developer-night-school-studio

Need I say more?

@breakneck I don't actually think it's uncool, but if I play Undertale music at a house party, I'm gonna get thrown out a window.

I remember when video game music was uncool...

It's still uncool, but let's act like it is cool, just for this article.

Ha! That's a good one, Push Square! You and your early April Fools jokes! I know better I know for sure that this game is never going to release.

I'm tired of single-player games and multiplayer games. Where are the zero-player games?

@Kelrics90 Why are you questioning someone else's opinion on a game that you, guaranteed, haven't played, and based on your dismissive comment, probably won't play?

If there's anyone I can trust with the knowledge of the creative process of game development and creative production as a whole, surely it's Push Square commenters! Right...?

Stellar, you can now see those [REDACTED] at a higher frame rate!

@tameshiyaku Funny you say that, because I think James Gunn's style is the best of all the MCU subseries. Although most films trying to replicate it, with exceptions, fail. Taika's Thor Ragnarok was a good example of replicating the humor. Love and Thunder, not so much.

I felt like the new Captain America was pretty boring outside of the action and some of the drama. I'm glad you liked it, but I unfortunately found it bland.

Still better than Quantumania though.

I'm hoping that this is closer in quality to the first three Captain America films and the Black Panther films, rather than the newest Captain America film.

Spoilers to the Captain America trailer and also major aspects of the plot of the film. I just need to make fun of it.
"You're not Steve Rogers"
"You're right...I'm not..." 🔥🔥🔥
Cinema.

Why do people always want Sony to buy these large companies outright? Did we learn nothing from Microsoft's acquisitions of Activision Blizzard and Bethesda, or even Sony's acquisition of Bungie?

Regardless, it's definitely something seeing Tencent buying further stakes in companies, especially after closing offices, laying off employees, and even having one subsidiary buy themselves out to get away from their shackles.

Moral of the story: Big companies suck.

You'd think that being a part of a big company, especially a conglomerate like Tencent, would be a more secure path than being an independent studio.

Yeah. If only.

Good on these guys for getting out of the shackles of Sumo Digital and Tencent. I hope the best for them.

The PS5 is the best-selling Xbox console since the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Switch.

@AverageGamer You're not wrong, but people hate Meta, and that alone is a reason for people to buy the PSVR2.

Honestly, for a modern-day PC VR headset, that's an absolute steal. I don't think it's an amazing price for PlayStation 5 in particular, but this is a really good competitive price against the Quest 3 for PC VR gaming.

I've never been happier to procrastinate a purchase.

Still getting it used.

Finally, a real reason to buy the PS5 Pro.

@Jay767 Video games never age, because if they did, the PlayStation 3 would be nineteen years old, and that's just ridiculous.

All jokes aside, I don't agree with that sentiment. Games still feel fresh to me for a few years, at least until a new generation, sequel, or it's been four to five years. It's probably because I take a while to actually play a game, but I still consider games from one or two years ago fresh or new-ish. Sales are just a part of the video game experience for me. Outside of Nintendo.

Old PS5 games? These are still rather new games, stop acting like the console is bordering on five years old.

Wait, s**t...

Hopefully the upcoming Leapfrog Leappad Ultimate version of this game is better optimized and does exponentially better.

@BamBamBaklava89 Marvel Rivals made over $130 million in the first month alone. A free-to-play game, making that much money. I think the issue is a whole lot bigger than people not appreciating art.

@Cornpop76 Understandable. I cannot buy games early anymore, especially after I got Miles Morales for PS5 almost a year before I actually got a PS5.

Anyways, I'm hoping at Assassin's Creed Shadows is good. That'd be cool.

@Cornpop76 Wouldn't mediocre slop be a 5/10? 7/10 is still good, sometimes great.

Also, Avowed has more of an 8/10 than a 7/10 response at the moment. I'm not saying that pre-ordering is worth it, especially at $70 or £70, but if people want to pre-order, they can do that. I personally don't pre-order, but I do sometimes buy games at full price after they release, specifically if they have very good reviews.

Is it in bad taste to call these layoffs a Crysis?

The Order: Denied

Hmmm, should we put our Civilization game on the popular VR headset with great third-party support and ok first-party support, or the VR headset that's been considered abandoned by manufacturer that made it not even two years after it released? Hmmmm...

Jokes and whining aside, I just feel like Sony brought this on themselves. A $550 VR headset with only two original VR titles from Sony Interactive? Really? Oculus Studios isn't supporting the Quest headsets amazingly either, but at least the price and third-party support makes up for it, and when Oculus Studios does release a new game exclusive to Quest, it's usually well received.

But hey, can't wait for the PlayStation VR3!

Sorry everyone, I ate the server wires for PSN. I thought that it was spaghetti.

Honestly, last year's Batman Arkham Shadow for VR was honestly pretty good, and I have hope for a good flatscreen Batman Arkham game in the future.

@Reform No, the cover art is not AI generated.

@SMJ I will not stand for this Astro Bot slander.

Which is why I'm typing this comment while I'm laying down.

@RyuChamploo I'm kidding

I can't wait to play this at sub-720p at 20fps on PS5 Pro.

And yes Push Square commenters. This is a joke.

I can't wait for the Half Life 3 Netflix series to be announced and released before the actual game.

If there's no longer a market for physical games, that's because I'm dead.

I am a physical game supporter to the very end.

and yet my dumb*** bought a Series S.
