Just rolled credits SW: Zero Company. Absolutely loved it on PS5 Pro. Great job Bitreactor, Respawn and EA. Great story and characters. Good battle mechanics. It’s not Xcom. It’s its own thing and that’s great. I’d love to see an expansion in the future.

Rolled credits on Halo: Campaign Evolved. A nice walk down memory lane but I had forgotten how much level design repetition there is.

Rolled credits on the Adventures of Elliot. Really fun sort of top down Zelda. Lots of exploration. Neat combat mechanics. Give it a shot.

Last week at PlayStation Connect in Huntington Beach, I once again had the pleasure of moderating our Industry Leaders panel which had Hakan Abrak, Amanda Kruse, Abhi Ramprasad and Nate Nanzer all sharing their varied views on the future of our industry. Many thanks to all who participated.

Just catching up. Had a great week in Huntington Beach last week with like 600+ of our partners at PlayStation Partner Connect. Keynotes and 100+ hours of breakouts with our subject matter experts. And I moderated our Industry Leaders panel again. I’ll mention that more when I get the photos. :)

It took me almost 50 hours over nearly 2 months to work my way through Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined on PS5. I never played the original releases and this is easily in my top 5 JRPGs of all time now. Great job SquareEnix. Give it a shot.

I was at the Game Awards last night and I think @geoffkeighley.bsky.social really nailed the balance between honoring the awards and being the marketing vehicle that the TGAs typically is, better than any other year I can remember. Some great announcements. Even a one or two that I wasn’t aware of.

Thanksgiving was great. I smoked a 24lb wagyu brisket for 20 hours (after a three day brine). The family all had some leftovers to take home. I have some leftovers for today and tomorrow. Next week, off to Tokyo for our sync week with my team in Japan and the PlayStation awards.
