Few things rock your reality as much as being a home owner and noticing new cracks in a corner of your foundation.πŸ™ƒ

On the Mass Effect HYPEcast #013 I cover everything we learned during 2025 N7 Day, some context given by Mike Gamble and what some recent job listings may mean for the production status.

I worry it wouldn't even matter. He was right when he said he could shoot someone in the middle of the street and his approval wouldn't go down. If anything it'd go up depending on who he shot.

I'm already seeing claims of 4K 60 FPS performance using FSR. I would be amazed if that's true on anything modern without looking terrible from the upscaler.

I understand this isn't meant to be a high end device and I assume the price will be reasonable but considering this will be played on a monitor or TV I don't know if 900-1080p will look that great even using FSR or another upscaler.

Mass Effect 5's Project Director told us that all of the N7 Day teasers will connect so I wanted to take my shot at making those connections and thinking about what the game will be about. #MassEffect #N7Day

There's also a lot less (if any) pressure on Playstation to try to release a console to directly compete with Xbox as their strategies go in significantly different directions. The days of the traditional console generations are likely over.

The minimal 1st party output this generation (seemingly due to COVID and their failed live service push) could also extend the gen as more PS5 games finish up. That also could turn into PS5 games being made into PS6 exclusives like they seemingly did this current generation.

PS5 is β€œOnly in the Middle of The Journey,” Says Sony, and No, It Won’t Talk About β€œSuccessors” Rather than chasing

We could see Playstation take a Nintendo strategy with the PS6 where they essentially sit on it until sales of the PS5 drop to a point where it makes sense to move on. #PlayStation gamingbolt.com/ps5-is-only-...

I'm curious how this story gets covered because much like Nintendo a lot of the podcasts, influencers and legacy outfits almost seem scared to criticize them in fear of losing "access". I suppose that's the gift of being a nobody with no worries about that. lol

100% agreed. Every year I hope that Summer Game Fest and Gamescom ONL will be worth watching and they never are. The Game Awards are often decent but also seem to be getting worse. At best you might get 1 or two cool trailers at each end with 2 hours of filler in the middle. I weirdly miss E3.

Geoff Keighley is not a friend to gamers. He's arguably more of a corporate sellout than the ESA (which is saying something). Every year his shows get worse, more bloated and more soulless as a vehicle to fill his coffers and allow him to star fuck.

Not sure your Nintendo guy was the right person to review a FPS BR game.

My late night Mass Effect hot take: the Destroy ending is the only one that viable to move forward with and picking a canon ending is better than trying to make all 3 work. #MassEffect

So far I haven't been convinced that the next Mass Effect will take place hundreds of years after the Trilogy. I could be wrong, maybe that's by design and I'm not sure how Andromeda will play in. I guess we'll see eventually. #MassEffect
