If they excluded digital-only games, the percent of physical sales would be much different. That Insomniac leak in 2023 also revealed that Sony pays Disney a higher fee on physical sales under the Marvel license. In addition to, of course, the percentage shared with retailers...

A supposed Insomniac leak claims physical sales for studio games are far higher than the frequently cited 90 percent or whatever, which indicates it's always inflated by the endless supply of cheap indie games.

Sony only waited a week and you have any doubt that the biggest game of the generation influenced them? Rockstar had the sales power to postpone Sony's plans. But the idea of players returning and selling GTA VI was too offensive to them. It explains why they have not shown any gameplay. They...

Uh, what? It's probably Rockstar's fault. Sony long wanted to end physical games, but GTA VI being digital only gave them the confidence. Only a week apart.

I knew the PS4 would be my last PlayStation. I don't like Uncharted 4, The Last of Us, Marvel's Spider-Man, God of War 2018, Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone or Horizon. Wolverine looks dreadful. I miss Japan Studio and Sony's other mid-budget games. Ape Escape, Gravity Rush, Ico, Spyro, Parappa the...

I used the non-Bluetooth RetroFighters Defender to play Metal Gear Solid 3 HD with pressure sensitivity in a PS3 emulator. It is compatible with the PS3. The Bluetooth version has SixAxis. You would have to get used to slimmer bumpers. Not gonna quote the guy above because he has never said...

So that guy I spoke with and quoted above predicted correctly. Too bad. Movies might get more expensive and limited.

Control needed more cutscenes. Half the story was prolonged Mass Effect-style conversations, in which the same few canned animations repeated over and over as the camera went back and forth: shot, reverse shot, shot, reverse shot. The two characters just stood there in the most unnatural way...

I'm wandering around Code Veronica with the Music Box Plate and Glass Eye. Resident Evil 2 and the Gamecube remake didn't stump me as much. The progression seems worse.

I wonder how, as a straight adaptation, The Ghost in the Shell will handle Israel's Mossad late in the story. If they'll change the organization to something else to avoid controversy. Also wonder if they'll change the post-Cold War of the manga. My memory there is hazy. I think World War III...

"We’ll continue to prioritize our resources to drive innovation in how players can access games and provide choices as to where players prefer to purchase new games, whether that’s at retailers or PlayStation Store." Lol. No, they won't. That's the whole point. You will only buy from...

Conan wore earrings in Frazetta's paintings. I like Frazetta, but it seems he was pretty revisionist with Conan. Howard's world was more civilized and medieval than Frazetta's artwork. Howard's stories were about the barbarian rejecting the sophistry, guile cruelty and weakness of civilization...

I have been informed that Conan wore earrings in artwork. I don't know the comics, but he never wore degenerate earrings in Howard's stories, and this is based on one of his stories. Have to also say that it's lame they're starting with "Queen of the Black Coast" or that the series will just be...
