I’m about 10 hours in and almost convinced this will make my top 3 GOTY it’s that good. Can’t wait to keep playing.

I won’t lie. I’m usually a skeptic of new Pokémon games but this genuinely looks really good. It’s early days but visually, it’s ticking boxes for me.

I’m cautiously optimistic about Crimson Desert. Games that try to be everything often feel like nothing to anyone.

But there’s something that looks coherent about it. I really hope it bangs, would be great to have a new RPG to get lost in.

The reception to this video has been amazing so far, I had a blast making it as always so it's nice to see it resonating after the lengthy research.

However. The leaks have really made the comments an issue. Playing whackamole in the comment section lol #ResidentEvilRequiem #gamenews #ResidentEvil

While sitting in the Resident Evil Requiem waiting room, I’m continuing my playthrough of Final Fantasy 16.

I think I’m close to the end and have to say that I love the story and how cinematic it is but man… sometimes the gameplay can be a bit of a slog.

YouTube video by DrWydi The 30-Year Conflict Behind Resident Evil Requiem

Resident Evil Requiem is the result of a 30-year conflict.

Survival horror or blockbuster action? Each experiment shaped the franchise but never settled the tension between these two competing visions.

This is the story behind that conflict.

New video up on the channel tomorrow! Keep an eye out for it when it drops…

Just... MAN, WHY? Christ, no one asked for a God of War live service game and Bluepoint could have been handed so many great PlayStation IPs like BLOODBORNE FOR EXAMPLE. Such an enormous waste of talent and resources. When do execs start taking the hit rather than devs? #gamingnews #gaming

This article by GBiz reporting on Xbox's Q2, 2026 results states they were broadly down 9% with "content and services revenue" down 5% year-on-year, which encompasses Xbox Game Pass. But subscription revenue apparently grew this quarter!

www.gamesindustry.biz/microsoft-re... #gamenews #gaming

I find myself constantly wondering how much Xbox’s revenue has shifted, positively or negatively, from the adjustments to Game Pass pricing.

I suspect it may have initially dropped but would recover when big hitter, Day 1 drops start up again…

I just realised that this wasn’t in the PlayStation State of Play… man, Sony must have seen the backlash coming to leave it out.

Horizon Hunters Gathering flew way under the radar for me but I just watched the reveal showcase and… I both get and don’t get the hate.

The art style is not for me but as a Nightreign tragic, I can see the appeal. Either way, I’m not sure this game is long for this world.

Played some Resident Evil 6 today and had forgotten this gem from Leon Kennedy:

#residentevil #gamedev #gaming

Just finished watching the Transmission and I'm sold. I'll definitely review the game when it releases later in the year. It really feels like Screen Burn have found a perfect balance of new and old Silent Hill with St. Amelia. I have faith that the game's atmosphere will deliver.

The dedicated Silent Hill Transmission goes live in less than an hour #silenthill #gamenews

I’m optimistic about it. Silent Hill’s formula is a perfect match for the immersion a first person perspective gives. There’s no way the Silent Hill subreddit isn’t having a meltdown right now though lol

Keen to play Silent Hill in first person, Silent Hill f was great. Hoping that Konami can keep the ball rolling with this one.

First person Silent Hill looks interesting although I’m sure it’ll be upsetting for older fans

That PlayStation State of Play was enough for me to be excited for 2026. The main announcements that stole the show for me were:

- Silent Hill: Townfall (first person???)
- God of War Trilogy Remakes
- Control Resonant (gameplay)

Silent Hill Transmission soon! #gamenews #gamedev

Played about 2-3 hours of Romeo is a Deadman yesterday and I'm enjoying the ride so far. I really want to focus on the core question of: "would I recommend this to someone?" without getting distracted by who made it and what it represents in the industry right now.

Review soon.

I caved. I'm reviewing ROMEO IS A DEADMAN before Reqiuem.

New video this week btw!

I find myself thinking about Santa Ragione’s story with Horses a lot. I really love that studio after playing through Saturnalia. There’s a part of me that passionately wants to tell their story…

Maybe one day.

As someone who doesn't play Overwatch, the most interesting story beat is the dropping of the '2' from its name. That's a big statement for franchise and raises some interesting questions around branding.

Back when I was a Destiny 2 tragic, people used to talk about the same thing...

I really want to review Romeo is a Deadman. It feels so unique in the landscape of games that are releasing this year BUT... I have a video going up in the next week and also REALLY want to review RE9 haha

God I wish I did this fulltime.

Fallout's official Twitter account just posted this message teasing the end of the countdown. With rumours circulating of Fallout 3's remaster, are we imminently getting a shadowdrop?

Hope for the best. Expect the worst. #fallout #gamenews

YouTube video by IGN Resident Evil Requiem - Official 'Evil Has Always Had A Name' Live Action Short Film

I watched the live-action trailer for Resident Evil Requiem that was released today and it broke me man...

Reminds of the Dead Island trailers from years ago. So tragic and soberingly beautiful. Really adds emotional weight to what happened in Racoon City.

youtu.be/Xd72Q0Tg4ug?... #gamenews

Next video is on its way, taking a pivot away from something as cute as Hytale and diving back into horror for the next one...

I bet you can guess where this is going. Expect a new story in your sub box soon!

It's an interesting phenomenon when a creator goes beyond the internet and makes something that transcends their notoriety. Sometimes people rally around it, others reject it. Markiplier feels like the right creator where most, if not all, will rally around him to succeed.

I will never stop appreciating people leaving kind comments and supporting the channel. Thank you so much for all the kind support on the latest video.

YouTube video by DrWydi Hytale: The Collapse You Never Saw

Hytale's development story has become a tale of gaming legend.

From it's start in the Hypixel server to its recent revival, what really caused the cancellation of #Hytale?

This video is its incredible definitive story.
