>Call of Duty alone makes more money than all of Sony's 1st party studios' games in a given year combined, and by a significant margin.

I mean, okay... but that's a Sony problem?

52
Maybe it's because I just don't care about Activision, but I don't see the big deal.  Microsoft will leverage Activision as an exclusive studio?  Okay?  Every company has their exclusive studios.  If I were Activision and I wanted this deal to go through, I'd just say "Well, we're not going to make any more Playstation games anyway".  I don't think they can be compelled by the legal system to do so?

We got 13 players, but everything kept crashing at 14. :/

We have plans for a round 2.

Let's be clear - regardless of the reasons behind it, Taylor's career as a professional in the industry is pretty much shot.  I don't see a path towards her mending bridges.  Even if the translation errors were on Platinum's side of things, and even if she tried to clarify and was given the incorrect info again... Hell, even if it turns out Platinum is lying and Taylor brings the receipts... The way she went about publically nuking the NDA has destroyed her reputation, legally and professionally, and I doubt she'll ever get that back.

I'd sincerely rather find out one of the two parties is just a big, fat liar so there's someone to hate on rather than it's all the world's stupidest misunderstanding and this individual just blew up everything for nothing. :/

So... Like... Hale's version doesn't seem to fit with this new report at all...


....unless.... Could there have been a translation issue?  Japanese $4k/session became English $4k total?  Because that would suck for everyone involved if it were the case.

It'd be neat to compile a video of the farious Mario voices over the years.

I wish they'd... I don't know about re-release, but revisit?  the vs. mode from the Game Boy release of Pac-Man.

Two systems connect together.  One player eats ghosts and they go to the other player's screen.  They could end up with 8 ghosts chasing them - then send them all back.

Sadly, the screen size of the GB port leaves a lot to be desired. The 3DS release did not include multi-player functionality, so this game hasn't seen much of a re-release.

Living on Earth-616 looks like a bad time.

HAVE you SEEN our Earth lately? 🤣

That's ridiculous.
Plus, GameStop.com had preorders up two days ago.

https://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/u7am6d/min_min_amiibo_gamestop/

Although, really, less "preorder" and more "Order" at this point.

Basically, the global situation screwed the pooch on the ability of Nintendo to deliver amiibo on-time, everyone threw a pissy fit, and I think all the US retailers were just like "why do preorders anyway?  they're gonna sell either way."

Yeah.  Am disappoint. :(

Okay, so... anyone who is sad about this... go away.

Phil Spencer did an interview and was just brainstorming **** and said...

Quote
“I was looking at the IP list, I mean, let’s go!” Spencer said. “ ‘King’s Quest,’ ‘Guitar Hero,’ … I should know this but I think they got ‘HeXen.’ ”

This series, one of my all-time favorites back in the day, hasn't had acknowledgement of it's existence in almost 25 years.  And Phil's all "Hey, I think we own HeXen now, can we, like, do something with it?"

I contacted Raven Software years ago about just getting a jewel case collection (iD had just released a Doom/Doom 2/Doom 2 Master Levels/Final Doom set) and had a great conversation with what I believe to be one of the og teammates who went into some of the details on how all the rights for Heretic and HeXen were all over the place and a collection would just be unlikely.  And now this Phil guy is just like "Yup, throw it on the list too!"

Two days ago, I was like "meh, whatever" and now I'm like "How hard is it to get one of these newfangled XBoxes anyway?"

70
>Heretic and Hexen

The rights to these titles are a tangled web, but Raven is generally cnsidered to be the primary holder, correct?

71
I don't think that's where we're headed at all.

I think as far as AAA-budgeted titles go, yeah, I can see that - major big-budget games being funded and published by one of the big three as a console-exclusive.

But damn, we have so many great and amazing "indie" titles.  Outside of first-party Nintendo games, just about all I play now are indie titles.  And sure, you'll have the occasional indie studio snatched up by Microsoft/Sony, but for every one that is, five more will release games and maybe one of those will actually be good.

The future of gaming has never looked brighter to me and the acquisition of Activision hasn't changed anything.  Heck, last Activision game I bought was Skylanders anyway. 🤣

72
Ha!  Nicholas Cage would be jealous of me right now.

I am legit going to steal Crimm's authentic NFT.  i just need to plan the heist of the century.
