There is a view by some that marketing exists to hype existing fans, and while it can be that, marketing = make sales. GTA VI is already in all of our bubbles. Their marketing focus is outside our bubble to convince non and lapsed gamers that it is an unmissable cultural event.

I worked with Johan on a separate game of his on one of my physical Mixtapes! We'd discussed doing something with Icy Tower at the time. Grew up playing and loving that, so would certainly love to figure out *something* cool

All of our games are always full on-cart/disc releases - we never do Game-Key Cards, and we work with DoesItPlay? to ensure they're tested with up-to-date versions, meaning they'll be preserved and work without internet. And yes - fancy EDITIONS version on our site, and versions at wide retail! ❤️

I have seen and filled the public survey before it was removed, and that did not focus on their physical disc decision at all. It was a generic feedback survey. I'm exploring the existence of a developer one currently. I suspect it may also have been generic.

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!

Questioning why it has a random array of new monsters or its comedic tone is reasonable! Moaning that it's not a direct adaptation of a game's story is, uh, not!

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.

Just to be clear: I'm a huge horror fan! I'm a huge Resident Evil fan! I've already played everything worth playing, and then some. If you only want to see it because of the RE name attachment, is it worth seeing? It depends what you want out of an adaptation.

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.

The words "From the director of Barbarian and Weapons" are at the top, the Resident Evil film logo in the middle, and "Exclusively in theatres September 18, filmed for IMAX" underneath that

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, 

Rayman Legends Retold wil release on December 3rd. 

While the game has officially gone gold, we have decided to take extra time to make sure every detail gets the care it deserves. 

In the meantime, we can't wait for you to see what we've been working on, starting with a Game Overview trailer on September 22. That same day, a selection of creators and press will share fresh hands-on impressions. 

On behalf of all the teams working on this game, thank you for your patience, support and trust. 

- The Rayman Dev Team

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. ❤️

Nintendo is facing a class action lawsuit for not passing on the tariff costs to customers, and is now openly styling an opportunity to purchase more games from them as their way of giving back. Weird lol!
