Yeah, I feel pretty much the same. I can't see it getting any better either. There's only Shu that's left who seems to resonate with the PlayStation community. The rest just seem like a bunch of suits trying to nickel and dime the user base. As you said, the 3rd parties have done a lot of the heavy lifting and it's going to be interesting to see how things play out once the new Nintendo console arrives. If it's has enough power under the hood, I can see a lot of developers using that as their main platform, especially if it sells as well as the Switch. Apparently it's being worked on by the same guys who remade the first game.

I was doing some browsing on Amazon last night and seen there trade for Godzilla vs Power Rangers. I was tempted to pick it up. Have you read it, @Happenstance?

Charging top dollar for a MediEvil 2 remake is a bold move. I guess this is why they keep releasing versions of the original game on PS+ but not giving us the sequel.

Nice write up, @Glen-i. It's a game I certainly want to play but I would like to go through Star Ocean First Departure R before doing so. That, along with a bunch of other SO games have been in my backlog for many moons now.

Easy to do when you release a fully functional game and you are confident in your product.

Looks fun.

These guys can't even get a showcase out on time. Such a mess of a company now.

Very happy to see City being knocked out of the Champions League last night. Usually I still cheer on any English club that is in the competition but never them. I'm hoping Chelsea can do them over in the FA Cup as well. Rough week for both Liverpool and Arsenal. Both were in the title race and both were in European competitions. Title race now looks iffy, Arsenal now out of the CL and its gonna take a miracle for us to remain in the Europa Cup this evening.

Finished MediEvil last night. It's ridiculous that this was added to the service when both the PS4 and PSP remakes are already part of it. There are countless other games that could have been added first. I can see why the game got a remake. Playing this version was a pretty rough experience. The controls aren't that great for a platform game and the camera was very ropey, with what little control you do have over it not being much help. Having now played all 3 versions of the game, this is easily the worst. I suppose it makes sense given that it was an early PS1 game and the other two versions were able to build upon what came before them. I'll probably go for the double plat and play through it again over the weekend. It's short enough to knock out in between playing something else.

I think I was spoiled by the Triple I show because I thought this show was pretty weak. As always, the stupid voice overs during the trailers were annoying as Hell. As someone who isn't invested in Silksong, its hilarious seeing so many get excited for an Indie show, only for the game to not show up.....again. You'd have thought people would have learnt their lesson by now.

More people added to the pile. According to Era, that equates to around 550-600 jobs being cut. Here's the amount of profit TT have been pulling in over the past few years. Take-Two Interactive Software annual gross profit for 2023 was $2.285B, a 16.04% increase from 2022. Take-Two Interactive Software annual gross profit for 2022 was $1.969B, a 7.17% increase from 2021. Take-Two Interactive Software annual gross profit for 2021 was $1.838B, a 18.83% increase from 2020. Absolutely ridiculous that these types of profits are being pulled in and yet people are still being given the boot.

Sword Rain...pfft. Dude has clearly ripped off Vyse.

@RedShell Yeah, the original Dead Rising is fantastic. I had a huge amount of fun on it back when it was released on the 360. The sequel is pretty good as well but everything after that turned a bit rubbish. You're right in saying that the amount of zombies on screen back then was super impressive. I think there was an achievement for killing 50,000 of them or something ridiculous like that. I vaguely remember having to drive around in the tunnels in a van and grind the kills that way. That Garfield mod looks hilarious.

That's pretty much the whole game. I enjoyed it but its certainly not for everyone.

Good first half for your lads, @Julius.
