iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Like I'm sorry, I don't care about most of the biggest Xbox franchises. I bought in when they were putting out stuff like Crimson Skies and MechAssault and doubled down when they put out stuff like Lost Odyssey, Kameo, Killer Instinct and so many more. They have so many great IPs collecting dust.

I know she can't speak to literally every part of their IP catalog, but my biggest worry is that they'll focus only on their biggest moneymakers while trying to chase new IP as a sort of second option. Meanwhile, the IPs they have that actually got me into Xbox to begin with will all but disappear.

Deleted that trash app over a year ago and never looked back. Enjoy washing yourself in the filth of that fetid bog tho 👍

I think it’s hard to come up with mainline story ideas that aren’t a variation of “rebels vs overwhelming evil” Some shows branch far enough away from I thru IX but almost suffer for their absence, feeing small/insignificant. Games can avoid that by splitting the focus between story and gameplay.

Moved and played pretty poorly but I still loved it. Really dug the atmosphere and music and yeah, when you could actually pull off special moves and combos, it was pretty fun. Honestly dug it.

A post on Bluesky?? Love to see it, Ed! Also glad the next NRS game isn’t 3v3. Would love a Mortal Kombat that writes the story from Liu Kang’s timeline back to the original timeline at the start of Armageddon. If the next game is Injustice, I hope it’s an Arkham-verse fighter 🦇🦇

This DLC character rollout is insanely slow. Killer Instinct 2013 cranked out awesome characters once a month in their seasons. This is a 4 on 4 fighter and it only has 20 playable characters right now. This is ridiculous. Oh and I bought this on disc. Last Sony game I ever buy.

Say what you will about their decline post-sale years back (their double cheeseburgers are still tops in my book), their desserts are elite. The eclair cake, chocolate cake and strawberry shortcake are a fast food cake trinity of the highest order 🙌

Nice article and info, man! If console and their core audience is such a big part of their mission, I really hope they go beyond the massive IPs and give Xbox players more from the IPs they've been wanting for years like Banjo, Killer Instinct, Lost Odyssey, Crimson Skies, MechAssault etc.

I hope they can get new deals signed with AEW or ROH. They're both great as individuals or as a team.

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Vast difference between "pushing the digital only future" while still giving players a choice and "we're ending physical disc production in January, 2028." I've owned both for every gen they've had. If Xbox was doing this, I'd be just as put off, but keep whatabouting with this bad faith nonsense.

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

You're literally trying to sell a physical product commemorating the original console whose memories we can still replicate thanks to physical media. It's the very illustration of what you're taking away from us going forward. Not sure if Sony's just tone deaf or just that greedy but seriously, GFY

I honestly love this for him. Always cool to see someone share something they really enjoy, especially when it’s something you don’t necessarily expect.

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

This game just keeps moving up my Most Anticipated list. After reading your main articles in the magazine, I think I'm going to have to read the two books for it. Definitely hyped and hope they can stick the landing on this game!

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I really, truly hope Naughty Dog goes out of their way to create something new. I'm sure the story will be good, but I'm so beyond tired of the Uncharted "traversal section/fighting section/cutscene" formula of 3rd person, narrative driven action games Sony's been farting out since the PS3.

Agree 100%. I feel like people are saying DD should move on and I sincerely hope not. Keep feuding. These teams compliment ine another so well and both can absolutely go in the ring.

Someone tell robot CEO using words like “streamlining” as business babble when layoffs are involved and saying it’s “great to see” is super tone deaf. Using products as a pivot away from the people making them isn’t slick, it’s ice-hearted. Keep talking like that and your gears might freeze over.

It’s pouring rain. Both offenses can barely get anything going. Super weird time to be taking shots at ESPN over a take about an offense being good after putting up 59 last week.

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Oh look, more physical stuff that Sony's selling. I guess you do believe in physical sales. Much like anything else to do with your brand though, I'm not buying anymore. 👍

Ah man, hope Darnold’s okay. On the bright side… That. Shirt. FOOKS. That’s freaking awesome!

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Wouldn’t mind seeing old fighting games rebalanced but I’d kinda want more reasons to go back to them. Like give me a Mortal Kombat 2 with Kano and Sonya’s MK1 look but cleaned up (if possible), plus the other 5 non-playable characters, give everyone some new moves, add in some new modes, etc.

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I’ve never played OOT before so I’m hyped to experience it for the first time. 👍

Yeah that’s definitely the vibe I get with a lot of the writing there tbh.

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

The way the writers had to stretch just to shoehorn that dirt dull trash bag line in like the last people on Earth that still think Rob Schneider‘s funny. Yikes. Just when I thought they couldn’t get any less cool lol. Like how do you watch this shit and not feel like a basement dwelling incel.

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Nothing you said here is factually accurate… like, at all. You can keep talking if you want, but clearly we see this differently. Not quite sure where to go from here. I hope this exchange allowed you to reframe everything in a way that gave you the sense of moral superiority you clearly need. 👍

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

It is a boardroom protest. That’s where it’s directed. Loading the actions with terminology as a means to make them sound sinister doesn’t change the intention. Most protests inconvenience some people just doing their jobs. If you don’t think that’s an acceptable trade-off, that’s your business.

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

“People might see something negative on the internet that’s not directed at them and have to filter comments out” isn’t the moral high ground you’ve been searching for since your first comment. Just admit you misunderstood that first comment and move along. This goal post moving feels desperate.

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

There's a difference between bullying an individual and protesting a company's anti-consumer practices. I'd rather punch up even if someone's feelings get hurt by something that's not even directed at them than be a corporate shill who thinks protests should only be convenient and respectful.

100

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

My line of demarcation is harassing individual people. I see zero issue with telling corporate accounts how you feel and doing so repeatedly. If you see that as harassment and you’re here to cape up for the corporations themselves, that’s a little weird but do you, I guess.

100

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

No, it was in there. The first sentence WAS the distinction. The account I was talking to was a general corporate account. That’s why I said “you.” I’m not backpedaling at all. I’m clarifying my original statement because you assumed something that was incorrect.

100

Adam407 @adam407.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

When I say people making repeated demands of “you” the you there is Sony, like their general social media accounts and during streams and what not. I don’t think it’s okay to harass specific employees based on my own guideline or anyone else’s.
