The Hollywood Reporter@thr.com · 13h agoJames Gunn and Peter Safran are stepping down as co-CEOs of DC Studios. Skydance, which now oversees the division thanks to its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, has appointed former Marvel exec Jeremy Latcham to the post of president and chief creative officer of DC Studios bit.ly/482TrFv
Not sure if this is a common trend with Castlevania protagonists but Rose Belmont gives off a lot of nepobaby vibes with her dialogue
As we look back at BioWare's legacy, let's not forget the weird ones too! Here's my brief history of Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood for @gamespot.com. www.gamespot.com/articles/rem...
Remember That Time BioWare Made A Sonic The Hedgehog RPG?

Perhaps there is something deeply wrong about the current state of "Western HD gaming!"

Writing this led me to remember a date I went on where they brought their Switch to the park and impulsively tried to kill a spotted lanternfly with it. Weirdest use case of the Switch I've seen thus far www.gamespot.com/articles/10-...

Me seeing a traffic cone on the street: “that’s very Control Resonant-coded”
New for GameSpot! Been playing Control Resonant since a little before release, and I wanted to write a bit about Objects of Power and how Remedy games turn the mundane into something sinister. www.gamespot.com/articles/lea...
Leave It To Control Resonant To Make City Buses Scary
Remedy has an unsung talent for turning the ordinary into terrifying forces.

I had two fun GameSpot pieces go live over the weekend! First, a little rant about how Nintendo should highlight its subsidiary and partner studios more loudly and proudly: www.gamespot.com/articles/the...
The Frustrating Mystery Of Who Makes Nintendo Games
Nintendo doesn't want you to care which studios made its titles, but here's why you should.

Still standing by this after I watched the movie! Saw a funny but accurate comment online something along the lines of "not even the games are faithful to the games."

The Resident Evil Movie Doesn't "Look Like RE," But Neither Do Some Of The Games
Zach Cregger's adaptation looks quite different from the series. We can say the same about RE4 and RE7.

For Remastered this week, I used all the discourse around The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 to explore how there's now a spectrum of what video game remakes can be, and that there's no wrong way to do one (except for generative AI, I guess): www.remastered.blog/what-does-re...
What Does "Remake" Mean In 2026?
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for Nintendo Switch 2 highlights how every remake approaches revitalizing a classic differently.

Every Switch 2 port announcement during a direct that you think is boring/not a big deal is exciting to people like me who only have a Switch 2 and no other platform that could play these games before I saw a *ton* of shit today that I am so excited for because I can finally play them
unhinged eldritch abomination@rhymeswithk.bsky.social · 2mo agoFriends, #weebwednesday is upon us once again! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥
I’m super excited (ravenous, even) for a new 2D Metroid, but is MercurySteam making it? Reports made it sound like it’s a horrendous studio to work for, and I would’ve been surprised if Nintendo would want to collab with them again if that were true.
I feel like they mixed up the titles, so I fixed it
