I personally never understood the appeal of music biopics. Just because I enjoy their music doesn’t mean I have any interest in their life.

Yes! Had been wanting to eventually check out Still Wakes the deep and Pacific drive.

PS Plus Members in the UK Now Get Money Off Purchases from PlayStation Direct Every little helps

I think the news filter is a step forward, but I think a good tweak to it would be the ability to add more than one game series. Having one or all is a bit restrictive when a lot of people probably like more than one franchise. Or unless they don’t in which case one or all works perfectly fine.

Honestly Metroid isn’t a game series I’ve ever been interested in. When it comes to Nintendo, I’m very much focused on The Legend of Zelda first and foremost, and then Xenoblade, Super Mario, Yoshi, Fire Emblem, and Kirby.

220 Rockstar North employees have signed a letter demanding that more than 30 colleagues recently fired in what it alleges is union-busting "are immediately reinstated".

I’m concerned about what this next generation ends up being. Especially in this climate, the new Tomb Raider being a success doesn’t guarantee that they’ll still be around. Just look at Hi-Fi Rush. I sympathise so much with these devs.

I couldn’t be less excited.

Twilight princess and windwaker. Oh and the xenoblade games. Xenoblade chronicles 3 in particular really needs it. The character models of the game looked ok but the environments looked really shocking.

It is also available as one of the ps plus extra games for December.

I honestly feel that most top executives are so clueless about sentiment inside and outside their companies when it comes to ai… they just seem so blinded by the cash signs that have replaced their eyes. Really concerning.

And so Endeth the tribulations of Ubisoft… may they be remembered for the good times.

Oh joy, another online game…

Simple. Look at how many first-party exclusives we have gotten in the past 5 years that were not also cross gen on the ps4. The list is very very small. And there’s your answer. The reason? Dev time and Sony’s completely idiotic focus on live-service.

I don’t agree with the omissions in the narrative, music, and visual design categories. Where are Hades 2 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in those categories?

Absolutely disgusting. I feel really bad for the developers that are going to be subjected to this. Notably Tango Gamesworks. They’re most likely not long until they too get offered the same.

FX has detailed its plans for the second season of hit feudal Japan series Shogun, including a list of new cast members and several hints at its plot. https://bit.ly/3LEkrTG

Hopefully no multiplayer or live-service.

Yes!

Just wrapped the story of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Really good! Enjoyed how it properly sets the scene for the events of TOTK. Also strengthened my view that the timeline placement of the botw era including age of imprisonment is thousands of years after the downfall timeline.
