@Mr-Cage That's not entirely fair, though. A lot of these games were acclaimed and broadly fit into Microsoft's mandate of creating content for Game Pass.
It's really not the devs' fault that Xbox leadership was setting fire to money and gaslighting its community into thinking it was doing fine.
Maybe under different mandates/different management they would have made different games. But these are the projects they pitched and got greenlit and they mostly reviewed well. Not sure what more the talented people on the ground can realistically do.
@Balaam_ Based on what we know so far, it definitely feels like they're going to cut it down to the major franchises, like Call of Duty, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Forza, and (maybe) Gears (we'll see how the new one goes).
@species Yeah worth noting if you don't have a card connected to your PSN or any credit in your wallet you should also be fine here as they have no way to charge you.
But I'd still recommend cancelling just to be sure.
@tornster Yes, but it's subtle (which is good I think). For example, when you power up your speeder at the start of the race, there's a little resistance in the trigger you need to push through which feels satisfying. Stuff like that.
@Sweetz I think you may be able to "recycle" the parts so I don't think you'll get locked in.
Obviously hard to say in such a short session, but I feel like the game was designed around player expression, so I'd be surprised if you got locked to a specific choice early on.
@SoonForget Seems like there's different circuits on the various planets. For example, I did notice one pretty short "loop"-type track which had six laps.
It does vary but generally I'd say races last around four to five minutes based on what I played.

@AinsleyE Lol new quarter innit
Re: Layoffs at IO Interactive as Project Fantasy Ends 'Relationship with External Partner'
I added an update to the story. Bloomberg has confirmed this game was going to be published by Microsoft, but no longer will be.
Re: Layoffs at IO Interactive as Project Fantasy Ends 'Relationship with External Partner'
@wildcat_kickz Sony's just as bad as everyone else to be fair lol. Although obviously I hope IOI can find the funding they need.
Re: Any Die-Hard PlayStation Fan Will Want This Neat PS1 Diorama
The characters and exterior are kinda cool but I'm not a fan of the inside.

Might do okay this game

I added a poll to the article!

@Thelegend159 Forgot about Doom tbh.

Re: Rumour: State of Decay 3 Dev Also Facing Xbox Axe, Weeks After Game Was Revealed for PS5
I can't see this game getting cancelled if the report is true. There'll be a publisher who'll pick this up.
Re: GTA 6 Not Expected to Run at 60fps on Any PS5 Console
@RoomWithaMoose With very, very expensive rigs the vast majority of people don't own, sure.
Re: Cyberpunk Edgerunners 2 Already Looks Amazing in Bloodthirsty Trailer
Awesome trailer, can't wait for this.
Re: Sony Says AI Is a 'Foundational Technology' and 'Exciting Long-Term Opportunity' for Its PS6 Strategy
@Hylian-Likely Worth noting this document is for investors, and the easiest way to juice stock right now is by saying "AI".

@Oram77 Haha, but I like Bob!
Re: This PS5 Open World Game Is Adding an Entire Fantasy RPG as an Extra Activity
@LikelySatan Because it's not an MMO?
Re: This PS5 Open World Game Is Adding an Entire Fantasy RPG as an Extra Activity
@4fold They didn't mention new Trophies in the video but I'd be surprised if they didn't add more eventually.
Re: This PS5 Open World Game Is Adding an Entire Fantasy RPG as an Extra Activity
@Smackosynthesis Haha I know, I thought that when they said it.
Re: This PS5 Open World Game Is Adding an Entire Fantasy RPG as an Extra Activity
It's like the current Dandadan arc lol
Re: GTA 6 PS5 Disc Hopes Seemingly Dashed by Rockstar Source
@ElectricWizard My personal opinion is they just shouldn't have released a physical at all in this case. The case is just a waste of plastic.
I don't like this but I guess I just expected it.
Re: Price Hiked PS5 Endures Sony's Worst May in Over 25 Years
@Propaperpusher Seems a bit harsh? I know it's very expensive now, but PS5 is still a good console with a lot of great games.
Re: Price Hiked PS5 Endures Sony's Worst May in Over 25 Years
@Canadadry Personally I think it's unlikely for most games as The Witcher is such a unique thing.
I always assumed Sony would do more "Miles Morales"-style expansions, but they haven't done as much of that as I expected.
Re: The Physical PS5 Release of This Ghibli-Esque Cosy Game Will Come with a Cookbook
@RobN It is a shame it's not a physical booklet in the box for sure.
Re: Tekken! Cartoon Presents Bandai Namco's Fighting Game Series Like Never Before
lol what?!
Re: Price Hiked PS5 Endures Sony's Worst May in Over 25 Years
@Carnage Problem is, it's out of Sony (and the other manufacturers) hands. They don't want this and there's nothing they can do about it.
Re: Price Hiked PS5 Endures Sony's Worst May in Over 25 Years
@AI-Generation I don't think they are making more profit overall, certainly not on hardware.
Re: Price Hiked PS5 Endures Sony's Worst May in Over 25 Years
Sigh

Re: Bungie Boss Gone After 'Significant' Layoffs at Sony Studio
@RomanRiz @Timorteus Haha, you're right. I've edited that! Thanks!
Re: Mini Review: Dead or Alive 6: Last Round (PS5) - Dead on Arrival
@rjejr I haven't seen that actually. But the manga's quite "horny" so I'm not surprised.
Re: PS5 Costs Too Much, But These New Xbox Price Increases Are Just Absurd
Worrying thing is I wonder if this means PS5 will go up again...
Re: Bungie Confirms Studio Layoffs After Destiny 2 Content Ends
@nielsonjuan Would you trust Bungie with a $500 million development budget? I wouldn't.
Sony blew such a ridiculous amount of money on this, it's honestly embarrassing.
Re: Bungie Confirms Studio Layoffs After Destiny 2 Content Ends
Disastrous acquisition. Truly disastrous.
Feel bad for the people losing their jobs through no fault of their own.
Re: Honkai: Star Rail's Pokémon-Style Spin-Off Is Getting Closer, But Still No Word on PS5
@rjejr The art style of all these games is beginning to get a bit samey for sure.
Re: GTA 6 PS5 Pre-Orders Come with a Bonus, But You Must Be Very Careful
@species Yeah worth noting if you don't have a card connected to your PSN or any credit in your wallet you should also be fine here as they have no way to charge you.
But I'd still recommend cancelling just to be sure.
Re: You Can Upgrade to GTA 6's Ultimate Edition Whenever You Like
@Flaming_Kaiser Who said it was a flex? Just a PSA.
Re: GTA 6 Is a 'Single Player Experience', No Word on GTA Online at Launch
@Sunraku Didn't the acquire some of those role playing devs?
Re: Tekken Is Coming to PS5 Tomorrow with New Modes, Settings, and Rewind
It's cool but it's a bit expensive
Re: You Can Upgrade to GTA 6's Ultimate Edition Whenever You Like
@Waa-Laa We'll update the pre-order guide at midnight. Rockstar hasn't said yet.
Re: 5 Things That Surprised Me Playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer on PS5
@tornster Yes, but it's subtle (which is good I think). For example, when you power up your speeder at the start of the race, there's a little resistance in the trigger you need to push through which feels satisfying. Stuff like that.
Re: 5 Things That Surprised Me Playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer on PS5
@Sweetz I think you're always building it around a common chassis.
Re: GTA 6 Is a 'Single Player Experience', No Word on GTA Online at Launch
Yeah GTA Online is awesome it's just dated as hell.
I'm excited to see what they do with it given everything they've learned.
Re: GTA 6 'Plays Best on PS5', All Console Features Revealed
This is going to be wild on PS5 Pro.
Re: PS5 Shovelware Dev Confirms 'Stricter' Publishing Guidelines from Sony
@8th_Observer The kind of console exclusives I'll never complain about.
Re: 5 Things That Surprised Me Playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer on PS5
@KundaliniRising333 Thanks, glad you found it useful!
Re: 5 Things That Surprised Me Playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer on PS5

Re: 5 Things That Surprised Me Playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer on PS5
@Ardath_Biru I did look for rubber banding but couldn't really say in just two hours of playtime.
I didn't notice anything particularly egregious, but to be honest I never really built up enough of a lead where it would be obvious.
Would need to play more to say definitively.
