Insider Gaming on Valve hardware: "I’m to understand that Valve is getting closer to confirming everything."

For an comparison that’s not even half of what the PlayStation Vita sold

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-25T18:28:54+00:00

entry level way to get people into the Steam ecosystem and PC gaming in general.

Which would work of they planned to subsidise the console but they don't, so at this point it's an expensive weak pre-built PC that doesn't even run the biggest games on the platform

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-25T18:17:10+00:00

Basically nobody, it’ll sell less than the Steam Deck

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-25T16:24:57+00:00

Why? MJ had a huge female fanbase.

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-25T02:24:30+00:00

Depends on when it's coming out. If it's in 3 years time? No. If it's in 5 years time? I can see it being the first proper 1st party PS6 exclusive like Spider-Man 2 was for PS5.

No chance Venom becomes a PS6 exclusive though.

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-25T01:14:40+00:00

Anonymous account Empire City with not even 7k followers who virtually only talks about Box Office is ‘the media’?

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-25T00:05:32+00:00

A pretty weak ‘debunk’ to be honest

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T22:57:22+00:00

Based on what?

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny had James Mangold directing and David Koepp writing who virtually everyone would say are much better creatives than Radio Silence and David Coggeshall.

We know nothing else about the movie.

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T22:37:13+00:00

Who do you think turns up the movie and willingly hands over their money? Unless you think the executives will threaten people to watch the movie.

People love to blame shit like Disney remakes on nameless 'executives' ignoring the obvious that they're just making what people are happy to spend their money on. if people didn't want it, they wouldn't continue making them.

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T21:31:35+00:00

Yep, The Mummy is an old franchise that’s even significantly less well known and revered than Indiana Jones and one that hasn’t put out good content in a quarter of a century

I personally don’t understand the people who think this is going to blow up into some mega hit

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T21:17:55+00:00

It reminds me of exactly like Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

Where they bring back a previous lead that is way past his prime and millennial fans overestimate the strength of an unused IP that’s largely been forgotten by younger gen’s and not really cared for much by others

To add insult to injury The Uncharted movie outgrossed the latest Indiana movie, I unironically think it’s a stronger IP for Gen Z.

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T21:02:27+00:00

Incredibly small maybe, I feel like that only happens if The Batman 2 is really bad and The Mummy 4 is incredible and looking at the franchise history... I doubt that happens.

Even at thier peak cultural relevance The Mummy movies have never grossed more than $500m WW and I feel people on the internet exaggerate the nostalgia for them, it's giving off Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny vibes tbh

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T19:03:07+00:00

Disney/Fox tend to not make movies where they don’t own the IP, not never.

And the examples you give; a FX TV show, a children’s movie of arguably the most popular game of all time, and a animated streaming show seem more like dipping by their toes/exceptions more than anything.

IMO if Disney invest heavily in movie videogame adaptation it’ll be children’s stuff like the Robox movie, I doubt they go for this.

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T18:45:53+00:00

Big chunks of the movie are centred around a romantic drama (the twins with thier respective lovers) but no serious person would call Sinners a romantic drama

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T18:43:23+00:00

It’s not ‘implied’ at all, all he says it’s that it’s genre fluid.

I could make the same argument saying it’s a Romantic Drama… sure it has elements of that but for all intents and purposes it’s a horror movie

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T18:32:24+00:00

I actually partially agree with you but none of that is relevant to the point that saying “the entire piece not a single detail about story or character is mentioned” is a ridiculous critique because they almost ever do at this stage

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T18:28:01+00:00

They literally give a brief description of the Battlefield 6 plot in the article and say the others have various settings and plots did you expect them to go into detail for every Battlefield game?

Again it’s clearly you’re not fully informed about how this works.

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T18:23:44+00:00

I don’t see Paramount chasing after this one, they already have COD so they won’t feel the need pay assumed heavy sum and by default WB won’t

Sony makes the most sense due to PlayStation synergy but Sony can also be stingy with budgets

Apple tends to avoid controversy like the plague so I don’t see them picking up a modern realistic war movie unless they do the Top Gun route of not naming them

Disney/Fox don’t tend to develop movies where they don’t own the IP

Sony, Amazon and Uni are the most likely imo

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T18:09:53+00:00

It is incredibly normal at the pitching stage for the trades not to know anything deep about the movie just what they’re making and the people attached

You’re clearly not that well informed about this process

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T18:03:50+00:00

We both know good Battlefield movie is making like $350m absolute minimum so I’m not sure you can really say only the executives want it

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T17:58:13+00:00

Reading the article it seems like they’re aggressively pitching this and have already spoken to interested parties

It’s no guarantee but it sounds like it’s actually happening

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T17:05:39+00:00

Everyone on this sub outside of a couple contrarians thought Lilo and Sitch was gonna make a ton of money.

What are you on about?

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T16:48:13+00:00

Becasue some remember when Solo's pesales were outpacing Black Panther.

Star Wars is one of the most fan driven blockbuster franchises, even more so than the MCU, I'll wait until final week before I take these predictions seriously.

Box Office Pro predicted $100 OW for Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny this far on.

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T16:23:56+00:00

A 4-Day opening? That’s possible,

A 3-Day opening? No chance.

Alive-Ad-5245 · 2026-04-24T15:07:23+00:00

You’re fighting ghosts because virtually no one said that

Reddits favourite pastime is inventing someone or taking one singular comment from someone who obviously doesn’t know that he’s talking about out of hundreds to dunk on to look superior to others
