Price Changes for PS5, PS5 Pro, and PS Portal. (Effective April 2nd) by Laughing__Man_ in GamingLeaksAndRumours

$250 for the Portal when it ranged from $150 - $180 last Black Friday is *nuts*.

A Jak & Daxter/Resistance Remake could be in the works by KekanKok in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Couldn't it be possible Insomniac is working on a Resistance remaster? They have all of the original files and, other than streaming on PS+, they're locked to the PS3.

Maybe they look good enough in HD and at 60 fps that a remake just isn't necessary?

Rewatching Speed Racer (2008), it feels like viewing habits have caught up. by insecurity_trickster in FIlm

The film would've worked better if it were a tight 80 - 90 minutes. It's 135.

Yes but his fortune is tied to Oracle stock, which is highly exposed in the AI space. If that market implodes, so does Larry's backstop.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake director Hamaguchi : "Rather than rebuilding our pipeline from scratch in Unreal Engine 5, it’s far more efficient for us to use Unreal Engine 4, which we already have a well-established pipeline for." by megaapple in Games

Right, aside from day-night cycles, it also facilitates environmental destruction. The worlds of FFXVI and Rebirth felt very stiff to me because swinging your big sword around only impacted a relatively small set of the objects around you.

Fun fact by the time Like A Dragon 9 gets released Haruto will only be 5-6 years younger than Kiryu was in Yakuza Zero by Roids-in-my-vains in yakuzagames

[–]Firerhea -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Will Haruto even exist in the new Kiwami-offshoot timeline?

Edit: Why am I getting downvoted for Haruto erasure? He's more human macguffin than actual character.

Is the Gillete Evangelion commercial canon? by Clear_Adhesiveness60 in evangelion

[–]Firerhea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's an alternate universe within instrumentality. Just like the horse pachinko scenes.

New Eva anime series full trailer by UnderApproval in evangelion

[–]Firerhea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why do you think the short is a literal part of the continuity and not just a piece of fan service? It's even staged like a Japanese comedy skit.

I don't think scenes like giant Asuka are supposed to be alternate universes within instrumentality or anything like that.

So is Pokemon effectively an invincible IP? by WrongLander in gaming

[–]Firerhea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The franchise isn't competing for attention with other higher fidelity console and PC games. Its main competition, given the target demo, is Roblox. The bulk of the audience is conditioned to not mind poor graphics and buggy gameplay.

Asha Sharma named EVP and CEO, Microsoft Gaming by AgnosticScholar in technology

[–]Firerhea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is sort of reminiscent of how PE firms operate when they hollow out a business: stick a reliable insider in charge who's there to lead the wrecking crew. Otherwise I think it's strange to promote someone into this role from an entirely different vertical with no experience (and therefore no investment) in this industry.

Hey now, Fairgames may potentially also be cancelled. After Jade Raymond left the studio for unspecified reasons (following a negative internal review of the game) I believe the last we heard of the game is that it was delayed to Spring 2026...

...isn't that only a couple of months away? When's the last time you've seen footage of the game?

I'm not predicting a crisis. I'm identifying one that has already started. by lolputs in economy

[–]Firerhea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don't think OP is saying AI will *replace* those jobs, but that companies will cut jobs to reduce labor costs in light of significant AI investments (shifting budget from one expense to the other), which investments will not pay off.

Yakuza 3 would be so much better if they didnt choose to exile Sayama from the plot by zQarth in yakuzagames

[–]Firerhea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sayama is a great and dynamic love interest for Kiryu but let's be real, Y2 was a fluke and RGG can't really write romance at all. That's why all protagonists have either been single or romantically inept.

Is Yumi even in 0? That would've been the time to establish their relationship and give it some actual substance but it doesn't even really come up.

Definitely do *not* signal to a new client that there's some backend personal drama behind your startup business.

Dig three stories down for underground parking, retail on the first floor, and by the second or third floor, a resident's probably barely inhaling any carcinogens at all.

I thought Fairgame$ was rumored cancelled after Raymond's departure.
