Matty is a great source for BGS things and I really appreciate his enthusiasm. But Iām not yet ready to put him with the Shinobis, Grubbs, Jez Cordens, Brad Sams and so on. Itās absolutely possible heās truly in the know about some things, but we will see. Same with ACG, really cool reviewer but does he really know stuff?
ACG is great. His source this year has been 8 for 8 so while he doesnāt say everything, he knows a lot of stuff. Matty is great as well. Grubb/Corden are great. Shinobi has barely mentioned anything in years so I donāt even see him as an insider and I donāt know a single thing Sams has mentioned. I would easily take what ACG and Matty say over Shinobi and Sams.
At some point Microsoft passed on an Alan Wake sequel, the original didnāt see enough traction. Maybe they would have green lighted it if Game Pass was more advanced/further along at that time.
They launched Oblivion during the early months of the 360 when that system was still difficult to find. My guess is with the original plan to launch on the PS5 and Series consoles, they werenāt worried about last gen. Especially when the PC is still their main market.
