Sam Heaney @samheaney.bsky.social · 28/09/2026My TOEM 2 review: Really liked my time with it, loved snapping pictures once again - but was underwhelmed with the new mechanics and disappointed at how much it mimicked the original without carving out its own identity. A good thing is still good, just loses some of the magic a second time around. 001

Sam Heaney @samheaney.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I had a really good time with TOEM 2, but as I walked away I couldn’t help but feel disappointed in just how closely it aped the original. Still heartily recommend it no doubt, but I was definitely hoping for more on my second photographic adventure. gamingtrend.com/reviews/toem...gamingtrend.comTOEM 2 reviewA lovely (if unremarkable) photocopy 001
Sam Heaney @samheaney.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The one thing we can’t do as fans/commentators is look at game successes over the next 12 months from Xbox and ascribe them to Asha and co. We can celebrate the games, but as you insinuate Todd, it’s going to be at least 3-4 years before anything Asha oversaw from end to end comes to market. 000

Sam Heaney @samheaney.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Fast-tracking Horizon 3’s development is so obviously the correct play. I wasn’t on the hate train for Hunter’s Gathering, but it’s clear player interest isn’t really there and I don’t see that changing. Horizon 3 will sell, as the other two have. Hell, put out a Killzone remaster in the interim. 010

Sam Heaney @samheaney.bsky.social · 10/07/2026They saw Xbox fans justifying and rationalising 1000’s of job cuts as “well it could have been worse” and they thought - Huh, this Asha can really pull off the impossible and get away with reckless cleaving of employees with little to no blowback.

Sam Heaney @samheaney.bsky.social · 06/07/2026The issue (with any corp/exec tbc) is that setting these sort of clear numerical milestones is a trap that shareholders, rightly or wrongly, will hold the company accountable to Not gonna proclaim to be an expert, but I feel theres a way of projecting desire for growth without these kinda specifics 000

Sam Heaney @samheaney.bsky.social · 15/06/2026It’s just a complete abandonment of the clearly stated intentions of when they bought these teams.
