    Rumor Jeff Grubb: Hermen Hulst is now the man running Bungie, set to lose it's autonomy

    Hence my post was Hermen's tweet about being in talks a year prior before the announcement and the link in my post to the office opening in 2022 (and filling with staff after Sony footing the bill). The Amsterdam office was in the same timing as the announcement of the new HQ of Bungie as well...

    Rumor Jeff Grubb: Hermen Hulst is now the man running Bungie, set to lose it's autonomy

    Office opened in 2022, just like the new HQ was footed by Sony. Hence Totoki spoke directly about Bungie regarding their financial discipline and age of growth in general. Acquisition talks and agreements don't go overnight, like Jim Ryan said this was not an answer to Activision, it was in the...

    Discussion The Doomers and Gloomers, Sony is dying thread.

    If that game wins awards or GOTY then the doom will be Sony is abandoning what made them great in the PS4 gen, cinematic games. There will be always doom on Mt.Doom.

    Rumor Jeff Grubb: Hermen Hulst is now the man running Bungie, set to lose it's autonomy

    Yep, he was already on the board of Bungie as well, Jim Ryan was not gonna get himself played like Activision and MS in the past after spending that money. Them opening office/studio in Amsterdam is highly likely due to Hermen as well.

    Discussion Bungie lays off 17% of their workforce (155 employees moving to SIE)

    Yep, could be a team formed around him but at the same time it is said Sci-fi action and my assumption with him is that his team/studio is going to make a more grounded military type shooter. Positive from Schreier is that (besides more people keeping their jobs) is that 75 members are outside...

    Discussion Bungie lays off 17% of their workforce (155 employees moving to SIE)

    Yep seems so, I think it's for the better like they stated they are spread too thin to support 3 main games. Probably focus on Marathon and keep the Destiny 2 revenue going, after that likely Destiny 3. Have to wait what the new internal PS studio is going to make, even if it's live-service...

    Discussion Bungie lays off 17% of their workforce (155 employees moving to SIE)

    Form a new studio within PS studio with their incubation project. Interesting with or without Blundell? They expanded and moved in a new HQ when acquired, I think Totoki pulled the ropes regarding financials and headcount. They were rumoured working on 2 additional projects, one of which would...

    Playstation Will PlayStation ever make a new gacha game using there own ip after the success of these gacha anime games on PS from Korea, China & Japan?

    If they do one it's being outsourced with aforementioned partnerships just like the Horizon MMO with NCsoft or eventual joint ventures like Palworld.

    Rumor Rumor: Ashen, A44 Games (Flintlock: Siege of a Dawn) preparing to lay off nearly all of staff

    Every time I see footage it does give me 360 era vibes but also the budget version of Forspoken (if that's possible..). Unfortunate for them, I did like Ashen.

    News Xbox content and services soars as Xbox hardware continues to collapse.

    Won't, Sony simply will disallow it like with NGeforce; couldn't stream your PS library on Steam through the browser on Xbox. The reason for Xbox to go Steam is simple: To not miss out on more game releases (with the current route), alleviate the headaches as a platform-holder & they are clearly...

    Leak Report: The International Olympics Committee is abandoning Mario & Sonic franchise in favour of NFTs

    I kinda forgot it existed, seems like the series has declined since the Wii era, cause I haven't heard anything about the Tokyo 2020 charting despite Switch base. Checked the sales and this from the VGS wiki, declined heavily indeed since the Wii. Mario & Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games...

    News PlayStation VR2 at $350 just before official PC support launches ($200 off)

    You need an additional 60 dollar/euro adapter for PC and also missing features. ''PS VR2 was designed from the ground up specifically for PS5 – so you’ll notice that some key features, like HDR, headset feedback, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback (other than rumble), are not...

    Playstation PS5 Dualsense Controller Limited Astro Bot Edition announced

    Looks very sleek! Could'v done the blue around the PS button like Astro's collar but maybe they tried it and looked less sleek (probably more production costs lol). Would be cool if the eyes on the touchpad are interactive, first one with different colour sticks if I am correct. Guess I need...

    Discussion The Doomers and Gloomers, Sony is dying thread.

    We knew this would happen, live-service with Helldivers 2 would be a massive failure, I mean Bungie was a mistake; Final Shape going to bomb. Oh my god they made a sticker on a controller and animation of 2 mins for Concord. It's over for Sony!! Time to buy a Fire stick.

    News Concord: Most Common Questions During Beta! Confirmed to not have Battle Pass & will have free maps .

    Good news, actually appreciate no battle passes foolery. If you played the beta that Battlepass progression is integrated with levelling and the challenges/rewards. I figure they will have skins (eventually) despite not sounding like it. But I am positive about the goodwill they doing with the...

    Playstation Astro Bot at Evo

    Yeah Astro garners a lot of positivity, if they can get a 90+ meta and a GOTY (nomination) hats off to Team Asobi. And hopefully fans support this, 2-3 million sales this year would be really excellent as well for them. It was so absurd when I read it, If they would hire one I could see them go...
