jumping ship
Microsoft/Xbox are leading the way in the future. While Sony has been busy trying to focus on exclusive games for its console, Xbox created Game Pass and intends to introduce games to all kinds of developers and gamers, as well as more and more on any service. Apart from the agenda of providing games to the people they want, be it Xbox, PC, Phone etc. Microsoft is driving us into the future.
Oh, and honestly, I can’t stand the PS Store it always sticks with the games’ original retail price. Have you been to the Xbox Store recently? all kinds of heavy, and I mean heavydiscount game.
I have always bought and played all consoles of every generation from PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo and Atari. I hate Sony’s tricks and actions (in every way other than a better Xbox Series X experience) that I call my PlayStation 5 good riddance. Sold it cheap and am essentially boycotting the company.
Sony may continue to play its smaller console war games and spend a lot of money on exclusive rights to ensure that only a select few can play their previous games. I’ll end up with everyone else on PC and Xbox getting to know all kinds of games I’ve never tried before. My PlayStation 5 was sitting in a corner without playing because I had little interest in it. With Xbox, I’ve never been more excited about playing.

not now
I am a long time gamer, I have played Xbox and PlayStation for many years. I’ve been a PlayStation guy since the release of PlayStation 4 and I’m seriously thinking of quitting. I have over 200 games all purchased from the PlayStation Store, so I’ve been a pretty good customer.
But the new PS Plus is ridiculous for the system; Like many others, I went from premium to extra in a month.
What happened to games like Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell? Were all sports great and resistance 1, 2, and 3 or medal of honor? These are some of the games I was hoping to see on the Classic catalog but no, not at all. It’s just a mixed PlayStation Now. There were also games on PS Now that you can’t move to the new tier system, like Metal Gear Rising and many others, which I think is ridiculous.

license to apologize
Stumbled upon the documentary GoldenEra on Sky on Saturday about the making of GoldenEye 007 on the N64, and the individuals involved (many of whom were straight out of uni), Rare, and what came next for the industry as a whole. .
A great watch, with tons of great behind-the-scenes stories. One notable one was a call with Shigeru Miyamoto, where he asked Rare to add a scene at the end of the game, where you went around a hospital and expressed regret for all the people you shot. was killed. And the second is a cartridge with all the Bond actors on which the devs played multiplayer to see who was the last Bond.
What’s hilarious is that there are even some scenes where what they’re talking about has been re-enforced using graphics from the game.
highly recommend!

Marketing 101
As much as I have sympathy for the people who made GTA 6, after the leak, I have to say that it’s not a good idea for Rockstar to act like a petulant child. They always really do but ban people from saying the words GTA 6 on Twitch and whatever is silly.
The leak didn’t really leak anything, unless you think the setting is going to be some massive spoiler, but well, just release a teaser trailer and let the narrative control itself. Isn’t it nice to have people talk about your game? Although I think they are worried that people will stop playing GTA Online (ie spending money) as soon as they realize that GTA 6 is a thing.
I don’t really see why that would happen, but just start adding some teasers and new GTA 6 related items anyway. This will probably play more people than ever before. Things like this are obvious, no?

Hollywood influence
Whatever Super Mario movie ends — and I think at this point we’re all preparing ourselves for the worst — I hope it’s not one of these situations where the game went before it became popular. Start copying or not.
I’d be especially wary that they’re replacing Charles Martinet, who’s getting a little bit now with a Chris Pratt soundalike. Tell me this isn’t something that sounds exactly like they would?
I’m still mad that Nintendo switched to using the rare version of Donkey Kong for everything as soon as Donkey Kong country games were a hit. I wish they went back and I have a bad feeling that we’ll be talking about Mario too soon.

two tastes of science fiction
It’s great to see that the return of Lucasfilm Games is in the works and they’re not just churning out Star Wars games and nothing else. Disney has received criticism pretty well, but in this case I’d say it’s clear that buying Lucasfilm didn’t do anything good for the games division.
It was discontinued before, and was only doing Star Wars games anyway, but now we have new games, sequels, remasters… in the works. I’ve now beat Return to Monkey Island and while it’s not as good as the first three, it’s definitely close and a much-deserved sequel.
I want to see what Lucasfilm does next, though The Digg has something in its vein. Not a sequel, as the original was very flawed but a more serious game that was still a proper graphic adventure with puzzles. If that game had been better, I think it could have been really impressive. But unfortunately it got stuck between two stools and didn’t really find its voice.
Though I’d love to see a serious Telltale style story with actual gameplay. It’s not hard science-fiction, but I’d love that too. And then later they can do the Star Wars point ‘n’ click that was rumored in the 90s with the original actors, but it never happened. Although I have a feeling that some of them won’t come back now.

remastered subject
Remake/remaster is still a trend in video games. Some remakes/remasters are great, sure, some may even be unnecessary, but it’s hard to argue that they’re basically pointless or worse, like Hollywood.
How about a hot topic on topic? I’ll get the ball rolling by naming the GameCube’s Resident Evil as the greatest remake of a video game ever.

first day problem
That’s not good news from Sony, saying that Stray was an ‘anomaly’ for the PS Plus. I think everyone can appreciate why they didn’t put their first party game on PS Plus on day one, but I thought Stray was a clear sign that they were ready to do it with third party games. Were? It seemed like it was going down pretty well, getting more attention than the game itself? so what’s wrong?
The answer is no, I don’t know what Sony is playing at the moment, but they don’t want to give people what they want. No news, no actual communication, and no explanation for whatever the PS Plus is supposed to be.
Seriously, they would have been much better off just not rebooting because this low effort mess has done a lot of damage to their reputation, I guess. The stuff is particularly confusing, with the lack of retro games. Hardly any at launch, less so after… Was it the plan or did something go terribly wrong? It will say it is anyway.
If I were Sony I’d sign up a bunch of promising indie games for day one on PS Plus Extras and try and earn some kudos points, because they really need to win back fans as soon as possible.

I still can’t believe there’s been such a huge leak with GTA 6 – that’s likely to end up with someone going to jail, and we haven’t learned a single interesting thing from it! Hope it was worth it?

I’m all for more single-player games, but why not make a team-up game with two superheroes and then make it a little weird? That would seem like the whole point.

This week’s hot topic
The topic of this weekend’s Inbox was suggested by reader Jericho, who asks What do you want from the Switch 2?
Despite the rumours, it’s inevitable that there will be a new Nintendo console in the next few years, but which form you want to take it, both physically and how powerful it is and how much it will cost.
Now that there are several portable consoles that look similar how do you think Nintendo should respond and what are the most significant changes and improvements from the current Switch? Or would you like to see a new console that was completely different?
