According to this article, Brand New Day is “just behind” Avengers: Endgame’s worldwide debut ($300 million less) but it “eclipsed” Endgame’s domestic debut record ($3 million more). Math is fun.
I enjoyed Control, especially the game mechanics and powers, but am I the only one who got burnt out on the environment? The entire setting was the Oldest House. From what I have read, the sequel is opening up more (you may even leave the building), so that is an automatic improvement in my opinion.
Impressed that Hayter is a gamer (and check out the retro GameCube) but his collection leans a little heavily toward the XBOX, and last gen at that. Someone get this man a PS5.
@get2sammyb Where is the article about the 551 films that Sony is removing from the libraries of customers who purchased them? This is the second time that Sony has mass deleted digital purchases, and this time it is not crappy reality shows from the Discovery Channel. This was announced days ago, yet I still have seen no mention on this site.
@tameshiyaku Will not the majority of people who purchase GTA6 hold onto it for a while, at least until after the online multiplayer component is released?
There were just waaay too many cut-scenes and boring cinematics in this game, and I don’t remember being able to skip them. Gameplay was tight though, if you could ever get to it.
I would expect the price of the PS6 to extend the sales of the PS5 for at least a few years, especially with all the cross gen software that will surely be available. So yeah, the PS5 will definitely surpass the PS4 numbers.
These examples seem like the kind of instances where AI should be used, freeing up developer time and resources for more important issues. It’s not character models or environmental architecture, it’s some throwaway paintings to decorate otherwise empty walls. No one is losing their job because AI was used for some paintings that the majority of gamers will never even notice. I really don’t see the issue.
Starting Lost Records: Bloom and Rage thanks to your post alerting us that it is leaving Extra next month. Just wish it had more licensed music from the period like the upcoming Mixtape.
My subscription to PS Plus ends in four days and I was never offered the discount to renew (neither in the Black Friday sale, the New Year sale nor the more recent sale) and I refuse to renew without the discount, so I am trying to finish Thank Goodness You’re Here before I lose access. I am a bit frustrated though because I didn’t slap a mole in a dirt bed near the start of the game so now I am unable to get a trophy at the end and I don’t know if I will have enough time to replay it. Looks like I’m going to be one trophy shy of the platinum. Game was quite enjoyable otherwise.
Why would they release it this year if the last game sold five million more copies in the last three months? Think they will want to keep tugging on that cow while it still has milk.

The important question, and the only one that really matters in my opinion, is does this affect Hazelight Studios?

Re: This Business Is Observing a Day Off for GTA 6 Launch, and It Won't Be the Only One
@rat-paradise Is that sarcasm? GTAV was released in 2013, thirteen years ago. So I’m fairly certain if you were 10 in 2013, you would be 23 now.
