#XDefiant is new #Overwatch. Ubisoft took their time to wait till Overwatch 2 will fail with single player campaign and now preparing for the jump. (As a part of wait process, XDefiant build was bad enough to be rejected from both Xbox and PS in first release attempt) TC Heartland also slowly preparing for the jump (The Division 1-2 Dark Zone as separate game) Skull & Bones (AC 4 mode), R6 Extraction (R6 mode), GR Frontline (PUBG clone), Hyper Scape (PUBG clone), Immortals Fenyx Rising (Genshin Impact clone) and The Crew 2 (Forza clone) failed the jump.

Immortality, the critically acclaimed game from Sam Barlow & Half Mermaid will be releasing on PlayStation 5 on January 23rd. You can watch the announcement trailer below. Would love to chat about #accessibility with the creators. #Immortality,

I do absolutely agree something needs to change. The Covid bump in sales, staffing, and game/team funding mixed with the response of stimulus checks generated a feeding frenzy for record profits and forecasts that were not built on stable models of growth year over year. Now we are seeing the industry correct itself for poor planning and knee jerk reactions. I’m expecting thing to be all good again in the next 6-18months. And ideally by November / December of 2025 we will see a decent trend of growth and stability again. It’s also good to note: video games industry is not the only group to go through this. Most of tech is in the same position. Let’s do better as a whole and not chase the dragon.

This is a huge deal. I grew up in the era of NES and SNES and Sega Genesis. The competitive landscape changed when Sony came in, bringing a new physical storage technology in the form of compact discs. Ever since then, they have been a mainstay and a major source of competition in an industry with fewer and fewer major players every year. If Sony’s own internal documents are stating they are moving into the future playing catch-up against the behemoth Microsoft. This does not bode well for a style of game creation that is incredibly attractive to we who love contained, well-written stories with gameplay that encourages the player to invest emotionally with the characters. #GamingNews #GamingIndustry #GamingCommunity #ConsoleGaming #FinanceInGaming #PCGaming
