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.

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.

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.

For my newest on @rpgsite.net, I interviewed Japanese developer and publisher Sting.

SEGA has no plans to abandon physical media and still sees a lot of value in it

With discourse still growing around Sony's plans to completely abandon physical media in 2028 Famitsu asked SEGA president and COO, Shuji Utsumi, about his thoughts on physical video game software. Mr. Utsumi told the publication that the company still very much values physical media and are working on their strategy going forward to complement both physical and digital video game software.

Praying this brings us a theatrical re-release of Blade Runner 2049 🙏 Regardless, I’m excited

Nanosaur (1998) came preinstalled on the first iMac.

Cool physical games! "Dino Crisis" (1999) on PS1. Several chocolate eggs were harmed in the making of this photograph.

Love to see it. Games this old shouldn’t be tied to just a console. Hopefully this initiative ends up adding 360 & X1 titles for PC as well at some point.

They really don’t make games like this anymore lol

Never understood why people delete their questions on Reddit. Especially when the comments are helpful. Like do people just get embarrassed that they asked a question in the first place?
