@chrisx: Not very culturally appropriate of them.
Funny up until you realise a once brimming with talent studio is in the shit now.
Yes, and Tomb Raider is based entirely on reality and should be completely taken seriously. I'm glad someone finally dealt with that pesky T-Rex at the great wall of china.
There's rumours doing the rounds on twitter now that Gears could be one of the franchises coming to PS5. Hard to believe MS would release Gears, Halo or Forza on PS but who knows the way things are going. Could be all bullshit but we'll all find out next week either way.
Well, we're dealing with Neil Druckman here. Wouldn't be surprised if he went ahead with this idea and put Tommy in a wheelchair while making him a cross dressing tranny on HRT to tick a few more boxes.
Don't know why you're getting down votes Myers. ND have been a disaster this gen. They dropped the ball with TLOU: Part 1 remake. They could have done something amazing remaking that game from the ground up but all they did was overhaul the graphics, now we have a remaster of part 2 which nobody asked for and they made a mess of factions which a lot of people were hyped for. We're more than 3 years into the PS5 life cycle and they've still yet to reveal what their next game is...

"It is a fact that diversity in media has created billions of dollars in growth."
Go look at all the films Disney put out last year and compare budget to box office takings. Every single one failed to cover production/promotion costs with GOTG being the only exception. Their studios combined lost close to $1 billion. I'll be happy to continue this conversation after the release of the Pakistani feminist activist's Star Wars t...

"Here is what happened, simply. The gatekeepers retired. Gen X became the new gatekeepers and allowed marginalized groups to gain a foothold in writing narratives because they were good."
I can't actually tell if you're being serious or sarcastic. Disney have been prioritising hiring DEI over actual talent and they've successfully made two of the biggest entertainment franchises in history crash and burn with Star Wars an...
@Notorious: The fact that incident made national news should tell you how rare an occurrence that is.
As for GTA going woke, I think the interviews saying they don't want to "punch down" on anyone anymore, along with stealth patching out tranny NPC's in V proves something has changed at R* and gives reason to believe this will be a GTA unlike all the others that have come before where nothing was off limits.
Druckmann needs to be demoted. What have ND done since he was president? Released one new game? And possibly the most polarising game in history at that too. The guy alienated and lost millions of fans of TLOU and they promote him to president and the studio have put out barely anything since. Mind boggling.
MS must have shit the bed when they woke up to see the reviews. "We spent 69 billion for this?"
$69 billion.
Anony-what and Grisaia-who? 🤔 Never heard of them.
R* aren't the same company they were 10 years ago so I'm keeping my expectations in check. GTA is without doubt my favourite franchise of all time but I couldn't be any less excited for VI 🤷🏼♂️
All those Actiblizz franchises will suffer the same fate eventually too.
It's possibly the last time a COD release is going to do well from a financial POV so of course they're going to persuade everyone to pay full price for it. After this year all those sales are going to evaporate.
All depends what licensing rights were agreed upon. If it was timed then they'd have to pull it due to not having rights anymore. Having said that though, it is a little bit bizarre to have a timed agreement on music for a trailer 🤔
I think it's going to be interesting to see what happens after all the games that were already in development before the buyout are released. We've seen what MS has done to studios.
On the other side of this argument though, PS would really want to show their hand already. Spiderman 2 aside, they've been way too quiet with news on anything for a long time now. They have all these amazing studios and we haven't seen or heard anything they've been working...
Yes, let's compare a 3rd party exclusive with trying to buy literally every studio and publisher on the planet 🙄
