Are any developer friends and peers able to confirm having received this? Seeing this around a lot, but no partners having confirmed they actually received anything.

Odd review embargo timing aside, for whatever reason, I was not expecting Silent Hill: Townfall to get rave reviews? I was hopeful, but wasn't too sure from what we'd seen so far. Very pleased to see it!

People are being exceptionally weird about the Resident Evil film! What am I meant to say to this? 😂 Look, I deeply love RE games - just play the games, y'all. A direct adaptation would be shit. It just wouldn't translate well, or be just pure fan service guff. It'd be shite.

I saw Resident Evil last night! This is how to tackle video game adaptations, imo - to emulate the feel, vibe, or themes. If you're looking for a true RE adaptation, this isn't it, but just play the games? This captures the *feel* so well I wanted to go play an RE game.

Rayman Legends Retold has been delayed to December 3, despite going gold, to have more time for polishing.

An asset made for the official Rayman social accounts, which reads the following.

Hello Rayman fans,

Tragic news to hear this Moss developer Polyarc is shutting down. I was speaking with the team only recently - Moss is still one of *the* flagship VR franchises in my mind, and it was exciting seeing a non-VR version launch recently. Much love and best of luck to the team. ❤️

The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Switch 1-to-Switch 2 upgrade path stuff is genuinely so much more confusing than anyone even realises haha. Can't even get into it, but it has different implications for publishers and impacts things you wouldn't even think about. It's weird!

Multiple stories being shared of expensive equipment being stolen from Gamescom booths - both at indie consumer areas and business areas - despite the apparent presence of security. In some cases, it has cut developer's events short, as they can't show their games. Abysmal.

The GTA VI gameplay stream kinda proves the power of official marketing. There's nothing very exciting about the leaked footage and the way it's being shown. It's almost as if it's being shown in the most dull way possible. Marketing makes the sheer scope of GTA VI visible.

This is less Xbox doubling down on physicals, and instead accepting they'll soon embrace an all-digital future with a solution to not lock all existing titles out from a future console lacking a disc drive - an aspect Sony has simply skipped over. Still not great, but aye.

The #PSBlackout begins tomorrow for one week in protest against Sony ending physical disc production. Many fellow physical collectors are realistic, and it's a protest of principle. Lot of silly takes online - I don't know why you'd be angry about a pro-consumer movement! 🤷‍♂️

Step in and do what? Pre-warn everyone what the ending is? The GTA VI leaker seemingly having legitimate access to a build of the game is an absolute nightmare scenario for Rockstar, and I genuinely feel for those working on it having years of work spoiled.

A screenshot of a Twitter post from a user called GTA 6 Unlimited. The original post reads the following:

The leaker is now claiming to have the ending of the GTA 6 story.

Rockstar HAS to step in before this gets any worse.
