@xMBGx Cancel the Faye God of War and put their games on PC within 6 months after release

@younghavok I hate Nintendo but PlayStation is the worst of the three by a considerable margin. A lot of the problems with Xbox are just incompetence.
English
Between Xbox and PlayStation. I’d say flip a coin and pick one.

Who is the most anti-consumer of the 3 console makers? I say it's between PlayStation and Nintendo. Xbox is the least because of ▪️Strong backwards compatibility. ▪️Game Pass offers excellent value with day-one releases and a huge library. ▪️Affordable hardware options like the Series S. ▪️Multi-platform releases. ▪️Pushes features like cross-play and consumer options.

@RinoTheBouncer I was a little disappointed about PlayStations plans to slow down with PC ports, but if this is what they're making then I'm not missing out

RUMOR: God of War Faye spin-off is claimed to be the “one more thing” moment for PlayStation’s next State of Play event🚀
The event is rumored to take place before Summer Game Fest, likely anytime this month or very early June.
Are you hyped for this game?😎

@Sebbywebz Do people really think Final Fantasy should go back to turn based combat?
English
Here’s how bad things are:
Imagine if all Final Fantasy 17 did was use FFX’s Turn-Based Combat system
That’s it
No Parries. No QTE attacks. Just that system
That alone would make gaming news
That alone would dominate the JRPG market
That alone would reignite interest among OG FF fans who gave up long ago
Even if its story is a bloated mess
Even if its characters are boring & cringe
That’s how far Final Fantasy has fallen. Something as simple as that would be enough to make headlines

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi recently shared his thoughts on the future of RPG combat systems He said that games like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 “may have been inevitable” as newer players increasingly prefer real-time gameplay over traditional turn-based combat. According to Hamaguchi, many younger players grew up with fast-paced action games and online multiplayer titles, which has changed expectations for modern RPGs. As a result, more developers are moving toward action-focused combat systems that feel faster and more interactive. At the same time, he made it clear that turn-based RPGs are not disappearing.

@RiloeGaming I agree, but if a game has good mechanics then you've gotta at least make a spiritual successor, like Elden Ring with Dark Souls.

hot take?
Not every game franchise needs to keep going forever, and Dead Space 1-2 are some of my favorite games of all time

Dead Space producer suggests we won't get Dead Space 4: "The numbers just aren't there." bit.ly/4eHp0sS

@SnomanGaming I strongly believe it would have retained more players if it didn't have the intermission tracks. If players could spend more time on the actual tracks they could really get into all the new movement options instead of just driving down a wide straight road.

If you've played one Mario Kart you've played them all, and the fact that World came and went so quickly, despite having the most innovation the series has seen by a long shot, only proves that point further.

What's your most unhinged Mario Kart World takes?

@ShitpostRock2 Fromsoft has lost it if they think this is how bosses should be
English
This fight embodies everything wrong with modern FromSoft boss design but you can never discuss how shitty it is because FromDrones will just accuse you of being bad at the game
Shirrako@ShirrakoGaming
It's okay to admit that this is not a fun boss fight.

@lastchalice Gameplay wise I can see that, but the visual variety just isn't there and the story is a joke
English
@Stealth40k Funny that Hideki Kamiya is back working with Capcom but not on Devil May Cry. I wonder if they'll find some way to get him working on it again
English
@AbdallahNATION I'm done with Nintendos drip feeding strategy and am going to find another way to play old Nintendo games
English
What happened with GameCube NSO?
How are we this late into the Switch 2 era & only sitting at 9 GCN titles?
Nintendo is sitting on one of the greatest gaming libraries of all time. Want $NTDOY to climb? Give us a proper GameCube eShop & let people BUY classics.
👎 Drip-feed

Someone should make a video game that is actively harmful, not like its propaganda for dangerous opinions but just simply playing it somehow measurably deteriorates your physical/mental/emotional health like just booting it up and playing for an hour guarantees you ruin your day

@Pirat_Nation Working with Sony and making it a timed exclusive was a horrible move, glad they're doing it on their own this time

Shift Up says the next Stellar Blade game is going well. The company will publish it itself worldwide.
The first Stellar Blade was published by Sony. This time, Shift Up will handle everything.
That means it will control marketing, global sales, and fan engagement. The company wants full control to do a better job and sell more copies, expect no censorship from Sony
Shift Up expects the sequel to perform much better than the first game thanks to its large fan base
The original game is still selling well on PC and consoles.
In the first three months of 2026, it generated 12.9 billion Korean won, or 27.3% of the company’s total revenue for that period.
The company plans to share more details about the Stellar Blade sequel and another game called Project Spirits later in 2026.
Shift Up is also building its publishing team. It hired about 60 new developers through a partnership with UNBOUND.

@Pirat_Nation Lies of P already had a ton of lazy procedurally generated areas that killed the immersion, this might be a bad sign
English

@luscielia Xenoblade, Nier, and FF7 Remake are definitely some of the best in this selection
English
@maxdeploy @Xbox Hi Fi Rush is one of the most underrated games of all time
English
@Yo_its_Flo7 @Vaporwave_07 For real, so many developers think having an open world means they don't need to bother with level design and it shows.
English
@Vaporwave_07 Also compact video games and lvl design. But these days they rather much give you long distance view with like no lvl design and much foliage. 😅

this ran on the xbox 360, a console that had 512 MEGABYTES of ram. that was SHARED between the system and the GPU
nowadays if your GPU has 6gb or less of video RAM and the main system has less than 16gb and you even THINK about gaming youre laughed off the face of the earth
