Thanks mate, that does look cool. Might have to follow them for any future updates.

I found it interesting that it’s a Turkish developer working on the game and the Publisher is Australian. You don’t see that everyday.

Just now I opened up the XboxEra “app” and also via browser on my phone and after I accept the privacy notice it locks up completely.

But then I chose “more options” and instead of accepting it I rejected it all and now it works fine. Odd.

Metaphor basically said:

If you get what I mean.

Yeah I had the same issue

Good time to be an Alien fan!

Oh damn! That’s crazy! Was slightly hoping it said a patch for current gen was available but alas.

Could still happen, I guess. Would make sense too, given the renewed interest.

The studio cooked with the first one so trust they can do it again.

I watched the first part of a Silent Hill 2 Remake playthrough video of the YouTuber Hollow. Game looks great. I mean it’s subjective but it seems to me this is Bloober’s first truly great game. Visually, sound design, atmosphere.

The story and characters were already there, so I obviously won’t give them the full credit for it, but they do deserve credit that they “remade” these characters well.

Some YouTuber who is a console hardware leaker dude had a video about an idea floating around. I’m not going to call it a rumor because that would imply that it’s somewhat substantiated. But it’s about Apple and PlayStation working closely together and for Sony’s titles to hit the Apple platforms.

An idea that makes a lot of sense and even Nick has covered why Apple buying PlayStation from Sony makes a lot of sense.

Coincidentally I was thinking about how Windows computers as home PCs are only largely relevant now due to videogames.

I was also thinking about why Xbox, during their presentations, never call PCs “Windows PCs” or just “Windows”. It just seems like synergetic branding to do so. It’s also a reminder that your buying an Xbox game on a Microsoft platform.

It should stress how important gaming is to Microsoft. But I’m thinking it should also stress to MS how they should be selective in where their games go.

There’s a lot of shifting of the ground in the industry that it makes sense for Apple and Sony to see some opportunities.

Can this even happen? I’m always seeing people post that Sony is a government protected company or some shit like that but googling this, I haven’t found anything that even remotely suggests this is factual and more just PlayStation fans hoping, wishing and praying that it never happens.

Apple Fanboys x Sony Fanboys. A match made in the depths of Hell.

I don’t see any reason to take an Apple x Sony rumor seriously unless it comes from a good source. Apple makes a ton of money off gaming without even having to invest and basically has zero risk. Dunno why they’d be interested in getting involved in $500 million games.

Not to mention we saw how high end games sold to their customers.
