I suppose that's that then. I'll never be making another purchase on their platform ever again. PC it is. #Playstation

"We’re going to cautiously move this forward" - Sony says it hears the PlayStation disc backlash but will continue its plans. CFO Lin Tao said its focus was on trying to "engage the gamers" in "the future digital ecosystem". www.videogameschronicle.com/news/were-go...

This Tiny Bookshop game has absolutely sucked me in dude. Hours just disappear. #TinyBookshop

First off, stuff like this is always just an excuse. Same thing always comes up with Sony and PS3 backwards compatibility. If there was money in it and they actually wanted to do it they'd just do it even if it took a lot of effort and dev time. #DragonAge

A Dragon Age remaster trilogy is unlikely because nobody left at BioWare knows the old Aurora engine, the series' former producer says. The first two Dragon Age games were developed using updated versions of Aurora. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/a-drago...

Because I definitely care what French Bobby Kotick has to say about physical games. #PhysicalGames

Sony's decision to kill PlayStation 5 discs could have some upsides, Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot has said. https://bit.ly/4xkwDf5

Man that's how many God Of War projects announced now. And people said they were milking the Horizon IP. And to think we had all those rumors that Santa Monica was actually working on a new IP before all this. #GodOfWar

PSN Down with No Comment from Sony Yet.

Star Wars The Old Republic is such a comfort game for me. I can come back after five years, which I've now done twice, and no matter how much has changed I get sucked back in. #SWTOR

So when it's Gamepass it's all "Well people don't play games that way, most only play a few a year, this thing was just a bad idea and had no impact on any game's sales performance at all" #VideoGames

Amid the backlash to Sony’s decision to end production of discs, just 7 PlayStation games have sold more than 100,000 physical copies in the U.S. so far this year. https://bit.ly/4h7EmZ5

Couldn't have used any of those laid off devs on these projects though right. Nope, Xbox and Todd Howard have more marketing to peddle. #Bethesda

NEW: Bethesda has announced a slew of new Fallout games, including Fallout 5 and Fallout 3 + New Vegas remasters. The company also confirmed my scoop last week that it is working with Obsidian on a Fallout game. I spoke to Todd Howard about the roadmap: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Dave The Diver's really digging into those latent Diner Dash skills I haven't used in 20 years. #VideoGames

One has to wonder what the point of all these "Microsoft owned studio is still the size it was when it made popular thing" articles even is. Or the "Game director says all the game directors are still there so everything's fine" piece we got for Obsidian. Like who does that help. #Xbox

Finished Stray Gods. And I mean I've loved the Telltale format since The Walking Dead, but between this and Dispatch I think it's safe to say the genre is in very good hands right now. #StrayGods

So that's both of Obsidian's big new IPs Microsoft's killed now just to shunt them off to be the emergency Fallout team. Because apparently having a Fallout game to go along with the show never occurred to these executives before. #Xbox

BREAKING: Obsidian Entertainment is making a big pivot as part of the Xbox restructuring. It has laid off a quarter of its staff, canceled a planned sequel to Avowed, and is now beginning work on a new Fallout game, according to people familiar with the plans www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Imagine having Id Software, Id freaking Software, and not knowing what to do with them. Microsoft just needs to get out of the games business at this point. #Xbox

Shinobi602@shinobi602.bsky.social · 4w ago

id Software worked with various ideas before Xbox cuts, including a new Perfect Dark, John Wick style new IP, and co-op DOOM id has been "nuked into the dirt" and "relegated to support studio size", said one former dev. gamesbeat.com/inside-a-stu... www.videogameschronicle.com/news/id-soft...

Well, there it is. Cancelled my Playstation Plus subscription after five years. Couldn't put down the real reason why though so had to click other. #PhysicalGames

I built this collection up a lot the last five years and barring some miraculous turnaround from Sony I guess this is where it's gonna end up landing. Too bad it doesn't seem like they want my gaming future to be on their platform anymore. #PhysicalGames

Feel like the news today has kind of sapped my gaming momentum, and my gaming momentum hasn't been particularly good since November anyways. I was just starting to make progress in ME3 too. #VideoGames

Honestly, there wasn't much that would have made the Steam Machine actually look desirable but what Sony did today was definitely one of them. #Playstation

You can't convince me Sony isn't actively trying to make the PS6 the most undesirable console of the last thirty years at this point. #Playstation

How did I never know James Vega was Iron Bull. Granted I haven't played ME3 since Inquisition came out but still. #MassEffect

Another day of mass layoffs and price increases but don't worry someone will be out there explaining how we still need these new consoles in 2027 soon enough I'm sure. #VideoGames

I'll tell you what, nothing like another price hike to make people want to buy your console they're not buying anyways. #Xbox

This was always going to be the outcome when they forced Phil Spencer out. The new CEO's just been paying lip service these last few months. Xbox is in a bad place. #Xbox

BREAKING: Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. Lots still in flux as many studios remain unsure about what's happening. Here's the latest: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Look I liked Star War Outlaws in its original form and I loved it enough when I eventually went back to it to go for the finnicky platinum. But you can't convince me they were ever planning to give that game six full DLCs. They don't even do that for Assassin's Creed games. #StarWars

So, first time playing Mass Effect 3 since the Citadel DLC originally launched. I had played the other 2 more recently before my playthroughs in the last year. Gotta say, just straight off the bat, I'm kind of amazed at how much more like a modern game this one actually feels. #MassEffect

Xbox trying to go back to exclusives without fixing any of the underlying issues that forced them out of exclusivity in the first place is honestly more baffling than the change in strategy itself, which is pretty baffling on its own. #Xbox
