With Echoes of Sekigahara & Most Wanted, @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social have made a compelling, comprehensive package that embodies the best parts of the Ghost franchise. It’s the best content the series has seen thus far, and it’s well worth carving time out for. gamingtrend.com/reviews/ghos...

My 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.

I 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...

The 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.

Fast-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.

Ya boy got to write his first ever review for @gamingtrend.com covering The Sinking City 2. It’s far from perfect, but is a Lovecraft x Resident Evil romp that delivered in all the ways I care about in survival horror. Congrats to @frogwares-games.bsky.social! gamingtrend.com/reviews/the-...

The cruelest part of this Xbox bloodbath? More than 1,200 job cuts are still looming, and nobody knows when they will happen or who will be impacted. This week's column: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Delayed Xbox Layoffs Leave Employees Scared And Nervous
Xbox cut 1,600 jobs this week and plans to cut another 1,600 over the next 12 months, leaving remaining staff on tenterhooks

They 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. Let’s bring her in to consult and replicate!

The 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

Astonished by the amount of instant Xbox apologia happening in the wake of the company gutting 20% of its staff — 3000+ people without jobs is not worthy of any silver-lining or celebrating of alleged executive honesty. Literacy in reading the room is essential, I’m begging you.

Is there any expectation that PS6 would support an external disc drive? Otherwise I’m failing to see a point in investing in any physical media on the platform from now until its cessation

Doing this the same day that they’re announcing the closing of multiple digital storefronts, and within a week of deleting (without consent, compensation or refund) dozens of digital media purchases is a terrifying omen.

i would probably dispute the notion that there's any "good" way to upend the lives of hundreds if not thousands of workers, but i think we can all agree *this* is probably not the way to do it

Can’t blame Sony for trying to twist and squeeze any “advantage” they can. I assume if there was any Pro-exclusive modes or features they’d probably have detailed them in this wave of news. Would be a nice surprise though if they figure something out before launch.

Madness dude… And that was my game of the show. Only hope is that someone can swoop in and save them (and other teams). If not that, at least most of the talent may be able to stay together & get brought in by a different studio, or establish a new one of their own. But that feels overly optimistic

It’s just a complete abandonment of the clearly stated intentions of when they bought these teams. I understand a lot has changed, but Microsoft is one of the biggest companies in the world. No one can gaslight me into believing any of this is necessary, especially if they truly are “long on gaming”
