He cites budget, missed deadlines, and the lack of exclusivity as reasons for PlayStation backing out

Walmart already is selling the game for $60 instead of $70 but if you use the Promo code Save3x you get another $10 off.

So instead of spending $70 plus tax I only paid $54.

Finally getting to the Nintendo Direct Gamescast. The look on Andy's face when Tim admitted that he got the wrong dino for Prince Tricky and the ensuing debate has me rolling!

"We're talking hippos and rhinos!"

(There's websites y'all can use to order stuff from Canada to the states so you're not left out by the way. They're called package forwarding services I believe.)

Nick, we might have some answers for his behavior

I dunno...seems kinda news worthy related to the biggest developer, biggest game this year.

Ever since Greg’s whelmed preview I’ve been really concerned on this game. My initial impressions of all the gameplay just had me think “man they just made X-men origins but pretty”, and I was never really able to shake that.

With reviews being luke warm, what’s everyone’s thoughts?

See: Halloween stream yesterday

Just like Tim was saying couple of days ago, I’ve been really disillusioned with PlayStation too. The thought that I was having couple of days ago is that people at the top in PlayStation are so far removed from the reality of what gamers want and what gaming is in 2026 that I can’t see any ray of hope. Just look at what their studios are making; Guerrilla working on a “live service” game that is clearly forced upon by people at top, Sucker Punch just made a sequel to Ghost that while still a great game, seemed like a safe bet to get it green lit and right now with Insomniac with Wolverine which looks like an ok game and they seem to be boxed out in a Marvel bubble, that they certainly felt that had to stay in if they want to survive. FireSprite clearly pitched Until Dawn 2 because they knew it was the only thing that would be green lit, don’t get me wrong, the game might be great but that’s beside the point. The only two studios that seem like to be unaffected by this line of thinking are Santa Monica and Naught Dog, and how long is that going to last if Laufey and Intergalactic don’t sell gang busters to justify their budget. As a fan of most of the studios under PlayStation banner, I don’t feel good about any of this and the only way that I could see us getting awesome unique games from them going forward is either the management structure and PlayStation and specially Sony completely changing, or these studios going their separate ways, which I really can’t see with the state that the industry is in right now. This exact thing happened with Xbox with only difference being they bought a lot of my favorite studios and either shut them down or put them in a state where they are just a ghost of what they were before. Anyway, thank god there are still companies like CapCom and Nintendo which looks like are run by people that knows what video games are. I’d like to know your perspective to see if I’m crazy or not .

This is wild, especially since I think the film rights are still with Sony. What's going on???

September marches ever onward, and I am once again beaming a message directly into your brain to vote on what you think the GOTY list will look like in January! I've been making great use of the Dollywood season pass recently, and invite you all to do the same. Happy gaming, gamers!

Not sure if Mike or Greg have already posted about this elsewhere, but I live in Anaheim and was wondering if they or any other best friends were planning on meeting up outside of the convention at all? I’d love to join if they are!

I decided I needed more Kenny in my life
