    I tried Stellar Blade, quite enjoyed it... reminiscent of Nier Automata, with some souls mixed in.

    Chris Dring has been terrible lately, appearing quite biased and that may extend to all of GIBiz... I didn't notice him being like this a year or two ago. Scapegoating PS5. At least they put it in perspective with the huge supply in europe last year.

    C&C Generals is just brilliant, the one I enjoyed the most. Gonna have to pick that up. Pity there's no console versions. Helldivers 2 still doing great.

    News Circana / Piscatella: US Physical Software Spending Dropped Under 5% of Total Spending in 2023.

    I'd go even further and remove indies that would never have had a physical release. But your scenario is still much fairer and makes much more sense than how they did it.

    News Circana / Piscatella: US Physical Software Spending Dropped Under 5% of Total Spending in 2023.

    Even just using console is a bit crappy because smaller games... almost all indies and even now up to AAA, live service and AA are all digital only. Big PS and Nintendo releases have very very healthy physical sales...often much more than digital. People like Matt must be paid to advocate for...

    News Circana / Piscatella: US Physical Software Spending Dropped Under 5% of Total Spending in 2023.

    I lost faith in them once they stopped giving actual sales numbers and since then the manipulation and selectiveness has only gotten worse.... They do not put transparency first IMO.

    And Xbox fans have said for years that MSFT was so wealthy that they could afford to do it forever but the thing is that they failed to realize that MSFT is not a charity, they want to eventually make some money in gaming...

    That gravy train was never gonna last, especially once you saw MSFT buy so many big publishers and developers.

    Discussion German market grew by 6% to around 9.97 billion euros in 2023 | Consoles +44% YoY; Gaming PCs -17% YoY

    Time for Sony to kick into overdrive, the more consoles they sell, the more software sales they will have this gen. Get those discounts in and cut costs in other parts of the organization if needed to, to facilitate it. Console sales are the most important thing to their business. BY FAR.

    News AN UPDATE ON BATTLEFIELD 2042 AND WELCOMING MOTIVE STUDIO TO THE TEAM

    If they can't get back to a creatively led game... where they have a clear vision from one person, then it won't succeed. They need to stop the design by committee approach and trying to be like the biggest games around. It's clear that they wanted BF2042 to be the BF version of Fortnite and...

    Yes, executives see something make a lot of money and they all try and do the same thing but too late, instead of offering something unique and new. But then if they do something unique and new and it's not the biggest thing in the world, they say it's a "disappointment"... The industry has an...
