@Shpeshal_Nick I don't know about the whole finances thing. I preordered AC Resynced and they still haven't taken the money yet.

“Why pre-order a digital game?”
I mean, what’s the difference between pre-ordering or buying day one?
You don’t know how people manage their finances. Maybe they’re pre-ordering now because they have the money now and aren’t sure they’ll have it later?

@Shpeshal_Nick I just don't think I can sit through a 100-hour game running at 30fps anymore. If they confirm a rock solid 60fps mode, then I have no problem paying the $100.

There’s actually a very real chance I cave and not only buy GTA VI, but I’ll probably get the Ultimate Edition
Let’s see if I have the strength and discipline to hold out

@BillHuntBits The packaging format kind of ruins this. Every release I have that involves sliding the disc between 2 tight pieces of cardboard results in every disc getting scratched. No thanks.

Well... that looks MIGHTY fine: Behold, THE COMPLETE KUBRICK from @Criterion! @thedigitalbits 1/2

@BillHuntBits Out of the ones that are announced, I would say the 12 Angry Men Criterion and Falling Down from Arrow.

There are a TON of great catalog titles on the way the #4K #UltraHD format this year and early next—major marquee classics that fans have been waiting YEARS for. So what are you guys most excited for, in terms of titles that are known to be coming? Chime in here!👇 @thedigitalbits

Update: "We incorrectly stated that PlayStation Plus is required for local co-op splitscreen play. Local splitscreen co-op requires a PlayStation account for each player but does not require a PlayStation Plus account."

Halo: Campaign Evolved split screen on PS5: "both accounts will need to have PlayStation Plus and be linked to a Microsoft account. Having these active PlayStation Plus subscriptions will also provide access to online co-op play." halowaypoint.com/news/june-comm…

@Shpeshal_Nick It really is strange when you finally have your eyes opened. You realize that none of the people reporting on this actually care about this and are desperately just trying to make content to stay relevant in the various social media algorithms. Nobody actually cares about this.
English
Ok so yeah, it turns out it *is* a sort of weird technical quirk thanks to cross progression. Makes sense I guess, just not a great look for this game

What possible reason is there for split screen co-op to need a paid online subscription for *either* player? Let alone both? This has to be some weird technical quirk because I can’t accept an individual made this call and all involved thought it was a good idea and okayed it
English
@Shpeshal_Nick I think the backwards compatibility with the 360/ps3 era and the selection of FPS boosted games is another win nobody really talks about. I saw that Alien Isolation was on sale on PS5 but it is stuck at 30fps. That game has been running at 60fps on Series X for years.

I honestly don’t know whether to be happy or frustrated when people find out years after the fact that Xbox is by far the best overall ecosystem in console gaming

You can gift games on Xbox?

@beable16726351 @Shpeshal_Nick Plasma was objectively better than LCD but LCD won by a mile. Betamax was better than VHS. These things happen.

@Shpeshal_Nick If it’s good enough, how come it ends up like this today? The market gives an answer.

@Glassdoorgamer @Shpeshal_Nick Well, the important thing is that Nintendo absolutely has the worst 2026 of the three companies. I can't believe I carved out an hour of my morning to watch that crap.
English
@trent82 @Shpeshal_Nick Yeah no one cares other than people who wanted to shit on XBOX and XBOX fans wanting to pretend like they are making a comeback.
English
Oof, that Direct was...not as good as I was expecting
English
@Glassdoorgamer @Shpeshal_Nick Gears is a franchise that nobody cares about? You must have a different internet than I do. On my internet, the Gears exclusivity announcement has brought out legions of whiney entitled PS5 gamers throwing a tantrum because they can't have the game.
English
@Shpeshal_Nick What? You xbox guys creamed your pants for already announced games you have seen in past shows like Fable, Gears (insert XBOX IPs from the 2000s no one cares about). But this was a downer?

@charlieINTEL Maybe everyone should spend less time whining on the internet and more time making some extra cash.

Gears of War E-Day was reportedly "basically ready" for PS5 launch too, but was canceled at the last minute

@HDMOVIESOURCE This is an all-time favorite for me. I'm a little bummed it got a basic Shout Factory release. This is a much better Joe Dante movie than Inner Space.

Watching The ’Burbs Tonight. Feels like the right night for this one. What’s the one scene in this movie you always think about first?

@mrjb260191 @Wario64 I didn't even say what I want. I was just pointing out that the idea that ANY GAME would sell to "pretty much every PS5 owner" is absolutely absurd. If you like when games do well, I'm assuming that means you want all PS5 games on Xbox and Steam as well, right?
English
According to Jeff Grubb, Gears of War: E-Day will not release on PS5.
"Gears of War E-Day was gonna be on PS5. It's not anymore. That just happened. That was a decision that just got made."

@mrjb260191 @Wario64 Are you for real? You think any game sells to most PS5 owners? Even Sony's biggest franchises only sell to like 1 in 5 PS5 owners. There aren't that many potential Gears customers on PS5. Maybe 2 - 3 million tops. FH 5 sold more, but that is rated E and has universal appeal.
