I gasped when I saw Sackboy.
I clapped when I finally found the Patapon!
I laughed out loud when I realized I could get the bots to dance with me.

And of course there’s a bunch of bots that I was like “oh I have no idea who this is but it’s cute” hahaha

I did the same thing i was like "who the hell is this?" half the time. I wish when you found the characters they listed what franchise they are from. Maybe they do list it but i just didn't see it.

They need to dramatically scale back budgets and stop trying to get cozy with Hollywood. Gaming never needed Hollywood back then, in fact Hollywood often tried to compare gaming to drug use. So why should gaming pander to Hollywood now and their crazy budgets.

With regard to the first point, I disagree. The PS5 has been out for 4 years now and games would have been in the pipeline for years prior to that usually. That’s plenty of time for games to get out the door or certainly be announced and well on their way.

Sony’s plan to shift towards GAAS and it spectacularly backfiring against them forcing a change in tact back to their traditional exclusive model with nothing to show for i is what has stalled this gen.

Yes, Jim Ryan getting 10 gaas game in development (+other multi-player games) for a console brand that was built on having premium single player games.

I think it's good that he is stepping down.

Didn’t he also make some rude comments about classics games? A very “ew, who would want to play those?” Kind of comment? I’d say him not running the company is definitely a good thing.

Yeah the flopped GAAS model is what messed up this generation

The Fallout topic is too old and not worth reviving just for this so I'll post it here, 2 words Preston Garvey
