I have absolutely no idea how to understand these tweets. I’m not sure what mega slam dunk the Twitter person thinks they’re making but they could make it more obvious.

In other news, Jet Set Radio (& Future) fans have a very awesome game to look forward to. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk has been in development for a while now and really does look a lot like JSRF and Hideki Naganuma is handling the soundtrack for it. It looks so good :swoon:

Also, slightly older news but the hardware teardown of the Series X has been done and it looks like Microsoft designed a really solid machine here without anything that stands out as worrisome so while I still personally have concerns about console launch hardware by default, it does look like the Series X is actually a well-designed machine that should be reliable. The odd design seems to have really worked in their favor for getting a massive heatsink and fan in there and they didn't cheap out on thermal paste either, they're using premium everything it seems :stare: I wonder what kind of loss they're taking on the hardware? I imagine the Series S might perhaps be designed to compensate in some way? Interesting video to watch, though:

Of course Twitter gonna Twitter so the replies are all about how punching nazis is bad and that games shouldn't have politics in them.


Hoo boy that was bad on my part.

I also remember my ban reason was stated as being because I posted the Xbox thread back in the day but that reason has been edited for just the jailed dude. I didn't realize probation text ever got edited.

Yeah, they've been bleeding talent like crazy, the latest news is just another in a long list of departures. Could see it coming a mile away when Ryan took over and Nintendo's utter domination of the Japanese market is only speeding things up in that regard, I think.

I wouldn't consider it an opportunity for Microsoft however, and I know people were suspecting things because suddenly Phil had Kojima's Ludens figure behind him and likes to drop teasers like that but I can't see them gobbling up all these ex-Sony devs or KP. Granted there's a lot at this point but Microsoft wants already established studios it seems, and I think that in general Kojima Productions is just a better fit for Sony.

Speaking of however, there were all the rumors of a new Silent Hill going around and people suspected Sony worked out a deal with Konami, but Blooper Team of all devs (The Medium) have been dropping hints that they've been given the rights to make a new entry in a huge horror IP that people have been waiting a long time to see and it's looking like it might actually be them. We'll never know until (and if) it's announced, but given the style of The Medium it doesn't seem such a stretch to think about, compared to Konami letting Kojima take his shot when the people who run the company very clearly hate him for some reason. Maybe MGSV had some disparaging lines about pachinko machines that had to be removed from the game? They're utter fools for cancelling that project.

It can't be worse than the last one.

Edit: I mean second to last, because no one knows that Alone in the Dark: Illumination (2015) even existed. I didn't until two minutes ago!

Got some new campaign screenshots for Halo Infinite and it actually looks really nice now? More of an improvement than I was expecting at least. I’m more than happy for the game to look like that if they get it running well.

What the gently caress, I can't even sign in? Even in previous outages it didn't prevent me from being logged in as me on the console itself, I can't even pick an account for local saves or anything.

Go into settings and turn on offline mode and it’ll let you sign in locally, but yeah it’s dumb that you have to do that
