real problem
Although Sony is starting to sound a bit hysterical about the whole Activision Blizzard I agree with you that I think neither company is honest and wise.Obviously the PlayStation would thrive without Call of Duty, but the rest of the GC Articles It hints at what Sony’s real concern is: If Microsoft owns so many high-quality developers with hundreds of employees, they can’t thrive.
what do you think about them Bethesda, Activision, and Blizzard are big-league developers with multiple giant studios. I think the number of boots (cubicle burns?) on the ground will soon outnumber Sony, and I believe them when they say they can’t afford to spend as much on games as Microsoft.
That’s what they’re really worried about, and in that sense, their attempt to block the takeover makes perfect sense. I am not. The lack of Call Of Duty doesn’t destroy them, but they do trade as a whole.

need for bloating
yeah, with this the latest news I think it’s clear that Need for Speed is dead, and maybe Criterion is dead too. Otherwise, he’ll turn into one of the lackluster assistants Activision has so many in his studio. Unfortunately for Criterion, Guildford has a lot of developers (my parents still live there), and it looks like many of them will be recruited into this new studio.
The question is what should be done to make arcade racers more popular, I don’t know. The obvious thing EA would take if they were to make a new game would be to simply copy Forza Horizon, but I don’t quite see the point. These games already do everything that makes sense and must be very expensive to create.
Personally, I’d rather go the other direction and have everything just pick a race from the menu and start right away, like the early Burnout games. But it’s not a big-budget release, and I doubt that’s going to happen. It now needs to be bloated, bloated, bloated to justify the cost of the game itself and the cost of making it. .

generation name
I think we can all agree that the most important thing for the next generation of Xbox is to have the right name. The Xbox Series X and S are ridiculously awkward and unmemorable. They also leave no clear route as to what the next one should be called. Will it be Y and Z? And what when it comes out? One week to A?
They should have called this generation Xbox 5. But I think it’s easy to say who cares that the Xbox console has such a silly name. In other words, look at Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S side by side. Who configures this stuff?!

accelerated examination
On the subject of people getting Resident Evil 4 early, I would appreciate it if you posted the game early (fingers crossed for the new Zelda), but I’m not going to post spoilers. Equally annoying, I think the most annoying thing about releasing games early is the review ban.
I imagine myself and other game journalists have a review of Resident Evil 4 ready and ready to publish, but due to the embargo, I can’t. That’s why games ship early and it happens over and over again that you can find the (often biased) opinions of random YouTubers, but not those of respected reviewers. I have a ridiculous situation.

PS: RE4 stands for “Release Early”. Excuse me, I’ll go get my coat.
GC: Publishers sometimes change the embargo at the last minute if there’s a significant leak, but it’s never been known to make a difference of more than a few days.
store for sale
RE: Bobwallet email. I believe the only way you can access/view PlayStation 3 games on your PSN account is through the PlayStation 3 console in the PlayStation 3 store, or through the Redownload purchased games to PlayStation 3 menu.
You can transfer your PlayStation 3 games to the PlayStation app, PlayStation 4 console, and
The PlayStation website was taken down a long time ago. There was a workaround some time ago to access the PlayStation 3 store via PC, but I’m not sure if that option still works, nor have I tried it.
I used to buy/view PlayStation 3 games from the PS Store website, but that option is no longer available. A few games I bought on my PlayStation 3 gave me a free PlayStation 4 copy (cross-buy), but many didn’t. Hotline Miami may have done it.

PPS: Thanks for the great article Wii U and 3DS Store.
early lead
I doubt EA is too concerned about the potential release of a rival FIFA game. It could be running unchallenged for years to get people to recognize EA Sports FC as the new name.
It would have been different if I had lost my license 20 years ago. At first, he would share shelf space with PES, Virtua Soccer, This Is Football, and a dozen other real football games. Moreover, it is highly likely that someone immediately purchased a license and rushed out a feature-light version the next year and a full version the following year, or rebranded an existing rival.
But today none of that works. EA’s offering is pretty much the only option, and it can take him five years to create a big-budget game from scratch. You wouldn’t expect a new FIFA to arrive long before the next generation of consoles. By that point, we’ll all be getting used to EA Sports FC and crappy names and such.

By the way, great review of WWE 2K23. I’m a fan of the wrestling spectacle, but I don’t really like the game, but after your review, I might take a plunge this time around.
Of course, the real question for us wrestling fans is whether the new bald patch that John Cena has been sporting lately is included.

The Last of Us Part 2.5
Given how little they’ve talked about it, it’s easy to see why, but some underestimate how important The Last Of Us multiplayer games will be to the future of the series. Naughty Dog keeps saying there are a lot of story elements involved, and doesn’t reveal what they are, but I think it’s quite possible that Ellie or Abby will be involved. .
It all depends on the time frame it’s set in, but this could be set for The Last Of Us Part 3. And guess what that leads to.
The story may end with Part 2, but I think it’s clear what Part 3 has to do. Ultimately, the game is about Ellie finding a cure and investing to make sure it happens. She may not get her personal redemption, but she could still do good things that lead to her first game.
You might think Naughty Dog has too many happy endings, but I think it’s pretty satisfying.

Far Cry 5 seems to be over 5 years old. I think they’re pumping these things out so quickly that you’re losing track of time, and waiting a few years for Far Cry 7 seems like a good idea.

We are delighted to announce that Shuhei Yoshida has received the BAFTA Award. I wish I could see him more these days. I feel like he was being sidelined when Jim Ryan had to take over and give it his best. I think he would be a better centerpiece for the PlayStation.

hot topic of the week
This weekend’s Inbox theme was a suggestion from reader Corey, How long have you gone without playing video games regularly?
Perhaps you’ve been away from gamers and lost interest for a while, but then what drew you away and drew you back? Did something stop you from playing?
Do you think games are a major part of your life, or is it just a matter of paying attention when you’re into a particular game? If so, what finally caught your eye?
