I was going to make a post saying "It will probably just open up Battle.net and run through that, just like Uplay did... but then I saw this on my twitter timeline.. So I guess it's actual Steam integration. That's pretty good. I have a feeling that once MS gets control of them, everything but World of Warcraft and Diablo will see actual Steam releases with full integration. I think Diablo and WoW remain on Battle.net.. but if they do release on Steam, in those cases it will just open Bnet and run the game. Those two are the biggest drivers for bnet by

The only problem I had with the demo is the constant stopping for explanations. They (Nintendo in general) need to do a better job at teaching their players how to play without taking control away from the player. Doesn't matter though... it's Pikmin... it's godly by default!

Shouldn't have been that much of a drag. Maybe if you don't know how to play and synergize your builds then perhaps? But it doesn't matter... now I'd agree that it's a slog. 50 to 100 is a horrible grind.

1. 2. 3. 4. MS has Sony development kits MS has insights into PS game sales MS makes massive amounts of money off of Sony that they weren't before to fund Xbox games, and likely more exclusive 3rd party content 5. Phil Spencer made Jim Ryan bend the knee like the bitch he is

What class?

LOL that's not saying anything about COD developers not being good... that's saying that YOU don't know any of them and thus couldn't identify any single key person there It's consistent with someone who doesn't play COD, and hasn't beaten any of them.. such as yourself. And sweetie... (lol you said $70 ) they spent $70B on Activision, Blizzard, and King.... which is why Phil removed all other titles from the Playstation contract and only offered COD when he made Jim Ryan bend the knee

After being completely wrong about everything regarding this merger, he's hoping that everyone leaves because that's all he can do at this point Yea, I'm sure everyone is going to mass exodus from the glorious place to work that was Activision during years of abuse now that Microsoft has bought them You couldn't even name ONE key member of Infinity Ward as an example of someone who'd leave

Yea. I want to believe lol If it does come, Switch will still have a period of exclusivity for sure. The fact that it's a Bandai Namco game adds to the possibility, since they're very supportive of PC releases.. so maybe they made a deal with Nintendo? Hope so. I played the first one and remember it well, but never got through the second game and my memory is hazy on what I played, so I'd love to be able to play it on PC.

I saw that, but not sure how reliable it is atm so I didn't bother posting it until some other places corroborated it. Looking forward to playing them on PC if they do come though.

I think I'm dropping Diablo 4 and moving on to other stuff now. They've nerfed the fuck out of Barbarian HOTA with this latest patch, and I'm not liking some of the other shit I'm seeing either. Need to recharge my batteries with something else before coming back to it.. and hopefully by then, public outcry will have made them fix some of this shit. On to Ghost Trick!

There's no way it scores under a 9/10

They also announced in the PSBlog post from today that in addition to RT Reflections, the game will also support RT Shadows and RT Ambient Occlusion.. which is pretty awesome. Nixxes always goes above and beyond with stuff like this. They're also adding an Intel designed Ambient Occlusion called XeGTAO (Xe Ground Truth AO).. it's not an RT based solution, but uses screen space like other non-RT solutions, so I wonder what that's going to look like. https://blog.playstation.com/2023/07/18/ratchet-clank-rift-apart-pc-specs-and-new-features-revealed/

Will be interesting to see how well they can get it to run on the Deck, that's for sure.

MS will be one of Sony's biggest publishers.. between COD and Minecraft Hilarious seeing Lyin Ryan bend the knee and sign an even worse deal than he rejected since the very beginning

You're signed up to GamePass

Nope, I made that smiley a long time ago... you keep showing that you know nothing, Jehurey Snow

Funny thing is that they've said there's no signs of them slowing down with this franchise and that they have many more games/ideas in the work for it... They're good games... and they sell well enough (mostly because of the pretty gfx) but you can tell PS fans want them to move on to something different now.

LOL last week you were SO cocky too I told your bitch ass exactly what would happen and it happened... exactly Firecoward ran from this forum so hard since Sony's pathetic Showcase, and all the cocky threads he made... which you posted in... are all coming back and slapping you fuckheads in the face Jim Ryan had no control... and he ended up with a worse deal now "Bubu the CMA blocked it TLHBFR " Blizzard and Activision belong to Phil now

It would show regulators/judges that they don't keep their word under oath... they REALLY don't want to do that if they ever plan on acquiring anything else...

Satya and Phil swore under oath that they would honor the deal and not remove COD from Playstation... but that was incumbent on Sony signing the deal. Regardless, you can bet that a stipulation of the CMA agreeing to anything will be that deal being offered whether Sony signs or not. And now that Sony has signed, it's very likely the CMA is satisfied and they've come to an agreement.

jederpy

Sony came crawling back. This deal is as good as done.

So yea, we went and watched this. It's pretty good for what it is. The ending segment is ripped right out of Uncharted though

Well @FIREPOWER definitely wont be showing his face around here any time soon now

I dunno, COD will eventually fade as all things do.. but I think MS will likely just leave Activision alone when it comes to COD and let them do their thing for quite some time. They've got to make that money back. Same goes for Blizzard with Diablo... but I do expect them to try some new stuff with the other IPs.
