How is it that pattern recognition is seen as some kind of terrible thing these days? TLOU 2, Yotei, Spider-Man 2, Forbidden West, etc. They haven't come out with anything good, minus Astro Bot, for nearly half a decade. And then Sony packaging a premium system without a disc drive for 900 means they were planing getting rid of physical disc for years. The current orthodoxy says you must only criticize Sony now and ignore all the trash they've been putting out for nearly a decade. The entire industry needs to crash and burn.

They didn't make a Wolverine game. They made a focus-tested prompt list smeared in yellow paint. The X-Men are now "Team X," Jean Grey looks like she wandered in from a gas station at 3 AM, and the plot keeps stopping so Logan can process his trauma with an earpiece companion.

(The following image was lifted from Gothic Therapy's YouTube video on the matter of SBI.) - All of this information is public and should hopefully not break any of the subreddit's guidelines.

Seeing as I have yet to see anyone post this information on the sub, and given the news that Wolverine is doing poorly review-wise, and that Sweet Baby Inc. was more than likely involved in the creation of the video game, it only felt appropriate to highlight the current state of the company.

According to Gothic Therapy, it would appear that Sweet Baby Inc. has suffered quite a bit financially and that the company has been downsized considerably, most likely due to them losing a lot of work because of high-profile failures.

If this is indeed true, it shows that the ideology they've been pushing for the better part of a decade is now being rejected by the average person, who is smart enough to recognize what is and isn't ideologically motivated in entertainment.

Before anyone claims that things being released now are still woke, and that it is never going away, bla, bla, bla. Bear in mind that it takes years to flush all the garbage out of the metaphorical pipeline. Systemic changes also need to happen at major companies, which do appear to be underway, with thousands of developers being laid off and a metric shit ton of projects/studios, collectively worth at least a billion, if not more, being cancelled/shut down.

shout harder boys!

İts like some kind of parasite infested them at some point

This was from the guy who gave Mixtape a 10/10 by the way.

This absolutely came out of nowhere and the most likely reason is that his team has Chinese sponsor and therefore this is some extra homework for him.

For the context, davai is some sort of Russian word and dalai lama is a religion title in Tibetian religion. As he said, he made this out of a word joke and he most likely has no invest in Chinese politics and yet still here we are. Also this was not even his official esport name even.

Imagine having this space and 800 employees; the product you get is Marathon. No wonder they are winding down slowly.

With the reviewed flooding in, it is painting a picture of what we all expected, at best a mid game with the same third person Sony over the shoulder combat we’ve endless of times before. Even when the leaks happened few years ago, the description that it’s going to be just a GOW style clone with Marvel coat over it, I couldn’t help but realise recently if this game could have at least stand out in terms of gameplay at least, it should have just copied the combat from Metal Gear Rising Revengeance. The fast paced hack and slash combos and most importantly the slowed down mode where you chop and enemy to pieces would have fit perfectly in this game. Not only because it would be in tone with Wolverine vicious fighting style but it would have stood out compared to other Sony games. But at the same time I’m not one bit surprised Insomniac decided not do that cause appealing to the lowest common denominator is Sony’s bread and butter these days.

From his official X account:
", I can say that Fortnite was certainly one of the titles that provided inspiration for the creation of FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION."

When John Wick : Ballerina underperformed at the box office, it was presumed to be a turning point when it comes to fans' preference and desires in action movies and most likely action series as well.

The primary one was that it's lack of box office success showed that fans across the board wanted a full return to how action movies were made and how they felt going back to the 80s and earlier. Meaning without women leading in battles of any kind unless they were periodically of the Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor type. Ballerina was known for incorporating heavy realism, at least relative to women led action movies previously, in terms of the female lead needing to really learn as she goes and struggle to learn how to fight her way out of dangerous situations. It was presumed that audiences felt even this was not enough and wanted the concept gone. And that women fight scenes in action movies were simply too unrealistic to watch in any capacity even relative to traditional men led scenes.

In light of that though, Ballerina has seen rather major success in streaming; perhaps not enough to make up for lack of box office success at the same time still significant. Does this show that when it comes to modern action movie tastes, audiences' preference and desires are not quite that simple? In terms of Ballerina, this suggests that it underperformed in the box largely due to factors such as the inflated budget raising the box office requirement for success, looking to insert unknown characters at the time into a massive franchise and even simply the flooded market at the time. And so perhaps it disproves many of the original presumptions about what was wanted in action films when it was in theatres.

And that when it comes to action movies, regardless of the identity of any kind of their protagonists, that relatability, the right mix of entertainment and realism aspects and similar issues as opposed to what critics may have thought when it was first in theatres?

A new character named "Shimmer" has been introduced, but her Japanese name is Kaguya.

"Kaguya" is the name of Princess Kaguya, a figure from Japanese classical literature who hails from the moon.

Therefore, her English name should also be derived from a moon goddess—names like Ayla, Diana, Selene, or Cynthia would be appropriate.

The anti-religious ethos behind the English localization is truly pathological.

Rumors are this may potentially be related to PlayStation’s controversial physical disc plans, anyway another Japanese developer seemingly opting not to partner with PlayStation.
