I don’t see Astro Bot on any Game Dev books 🚶‍♂️ Sackboy wins

Underrated Lord of the Rings game. Especially as you can play it in 2-3 Player Online/Local Coop. If you have a small friend group that enjoys Action RPGs with lite loot aspects, I highly recommend trying it out.

The Lord of the Rings: War in the North - Legacy Edition is $17.99 on Steam (10% off launch discount) buff.ly/iWecdVY US PS+ buff.ly/DCshrsK Xbox buff.ly/GyRGeyL launch trailer buff.ly/JceWmC6

Beyond: Two Souls is $0.99 on Steam buff.ly/F1UgGnS

Heavy Rain is $0.99 on Steam buff.ly/iiqvEjd

GameStop had a Buy 4 for $10 on $5 games. Grabbed heavy rain as I thought this was the version with the DLC on the disc. Apparently this is just the original Korean release. I’m too lazy to do anything about it.

The Dino Crisis franchise is now at 5 Million Units sold. A very impressive feat when you considering this is primarily thanks to the re-release of the PC ports. If this doesn’t show Capcom there’s interest in a new game I don’t know what will.

“Who cares if you download digitally, it’s all the same” These are the CEOs we have in the gaming sphere? Nothing is art to them, it’s all just products to consume.

Take-Two Boss Defends No Disc Version of GTA 6, Equates Physical Releases to Vinyl Records https://www.ign.com/articles/take-two-boss-defends-no-disc-version-of-gta-6-equates-physical-releases-to-vinyl-records

Edwards & Crew were the only good aspect of Rebirth in my eyes, as they had a terrible script to work with. Say what you will about Dominion, it at least gave new ideas for the series to explore (See Camp Cretaceous). While rebirth was a rehash of JP ideas done better elsewhere.

Gareth Edwards is no longer directing 'Jurassic World 5' 🦖 • He left due to 'creative differences' • Universal is now looking for a new director (via Deadline)

Real Talk, So much of the marketing surrounding GTA VI thus far, just feels grody to me. Big “We know y’all will buy this regardless”. I know most people won’t care, but that’s kind of the point I’m trying to make here.

They made The Hood Puerto Rican in Marvel Rivals?! That’s so rad😭

Nioh Collection on PS5 Thanks @jawmuncher.bsky.social for the recommendation

Playing halo with @sarahofmars.bsky.social and her terrible driving skills put us in a soft lock of death for a bit lol.

Pulled out my PSP Go and was reminded how this “Digital Only” device was basically left for dead if not for the homebrew community. Hope that isn’t an allusion to what we might be in store for….

The data here speaks more to Halo not carrying the weight it once did, rather than PS fans not being interested. Halo used to rule part of the gaming sphere and sadly that just isn’t the case for the series anymore.

Windows Central@windowscentral.com · 2w ago

New data suggests that PlayStation gamers don't care about Halo. Microsoft's controversial decision to decouple Halo from Xbox has been met with a shrug on PS5, as Master Chief managed to clinch just 1% of the player base. Was the brand damage worth it in your opinion?

First playthrough of Dino Crisis commence. @retroblastpod.com 👀

Added some “PlayStation Hits” versions to the collection for the God of War titles I was missing. I know some people loathe these but I really don’t mind the extra dose of color. Especially since these have red cases to boot.

The fact that Sony only responded during its earnings call says it all really.

For the 2 Skip & Loafer fans that follow me, Ross is selling the Mitsumi Iwakura & Sousuke Shima Pop-up Parade Bundle for $14.99 The two figures hold hands as well

Went to GameStop to fill some gaps in my Physical collection during their “Buy 4 for $40” on pre-owned titles. To my surprise they had copies of the Resident Evil Xbox Reprints. So if you’re looking for those, might be worth checking (Original Box in Comments)

@gameyevg.bsky.social Trying to update my collection but it’s currently not letting me delete anything. Version: 5.08.00:1.0.00 iOS

Had a random itch to play Dead to Rights (never played it before). Thus far it’s rad as hell and even includes someone doing a Christopher Walken impersonation lol.

Reminder that “The Nioh Collection” for PS5 is a fantastic deal for physical collectors. Both games with all dlc AND on two Separate discs. You’re practically stealing the game at this price point lol.

Cheap Ass Gamer@cheapassgamer.com · 3w ago

The Nioh Collection (PS5) $19.93 via Walmart (Walmart+ Eligible). #ad https://ow.ly/kRl850ZsYWm 1st Party PlayStation Games Sale Amazon (Prime Eligible). https://ow.ly/7iCI50ZsYWk Best Buy. https://ow.ly/pEva50ZsYWt Target. https://ow.ly/PBTs50ZsYWn

Dino Crisis (Steam) is $4.39 on Fanatical buff.ly/66QpGRQ 1 & 2 bundle $8.49 GOG buff.ly/AcBJXLM #ad

Might be a good time to grab these versions. While reprints in the future are possible, who knows how many more they’ll get. Especially at this kind of price point.

Resident Evil 2/3/4/7 Gold (PS5 physical) $15.99 each on Amazon amzn.to/44QslzH GameStop buff.ly/nKUxCUe #ad

I’d argue he’s right. For every “Rockstar is doing the impossible with graphics”, there’s triple that amount playing games that can still run on PS4. We’re definitely at a point where it’ll take more than graphics to sell games, especially going into next-gen.

Buddy got me some N64 Stands for my collection. Quite like the look of them. Definitely lets them stand out better than I had them before. Even if I had just bought end labels for everything lol.
