There was one sequence in Silent Hill: Townfall that might be my favourite stretch of gameplay from any Silent Hill game, and I can't wait to be able to talk about it more post-launch. Feels like it took all my favourite notes from my favourite parts of Resident Evil 7, and went nuts with it.

I played Silent Hill: Townfall! For the most part, I loved it. An incredibly confident new outing that draws on everything I love about the series, with some of the best individual setpieces so far. On the other, it falls victim to overindulgence and tedium, if rarely. www.psu.com/reviews/sile...

Gonna be really bold and say that if you're having to make public statements about how dangerous your technology is, you shouldn't be fucking investing in the technology Fuck every single one of these inhuman ghouls For every job stolen, and every life ruined, AI is nothing short of evil

maybe I'm just being an uncessary grouch but I just cannot bring myself to get any kind of excited about any of these Fortnite collaborations you aren't exactly playing as the damn character, so why would I care it makes me despair how far this one goddamn company has managed to invade everything

I played Final Fantasy VII Revelation at Gamescom, and I walked away feeling optimistic about this final part. The demo was overwhelmingly broad, but I feel that was by design. Revelation is a massive game, no doubt about that. I hope, and pray, it isn't too much. www.psu.com/news/final-f...

There is something utterly mad about Nintendo announcing a monthly slate of quality titles, and Sony announcing that they're axing PHYSINT. There is very clearly a lesson to be learned, but it still hasn't sunk in lol

Say what you want about Metroid being put to MercurySteam, I am so so happy they're doubling down on what Dread started Nintendo so often does weird non-sequels so having an actual Metroid 6 is so cool

I forgot that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity was getting a remaster That game sucks, it's one of the worst games that Nintendo has ever made, and I will not be playing it ever again. It actively makes me angry

See I'll always be more excited for a new Kirby game because there is a 0% chance it'll be boring. Mario has never dealt with anything as horrific as Kirby
