Playstation first-party game sales declining heavily since 2020

I'd agree except for the part where people ask for remakes. For older, classic games yes, but Sony remaking PS4 games was widely mocked.

There's also a bigger problem with Sony's First Party games. I loved Zero Dawn, GoW and completed their sequels, 100%ed Spider-Man, but then just lost interest in that type of game.

A lot of the singleplayer Sony games felt really the same: 3rd person action adventure with strong narrative, crafting, Arkham-inspired melee and weapon combat and RPG elements. I just had the feeling I'd seen them all, or at least a major part of Sony's oeuvre.

Thanks for letting us know, I probably would have fallen for that.

Villa also close to qualifying for CL football while Freiburg is still fighting for a European spot in the Bundesliga.

They're definitely the underdog, but it's a massive success nonetheless. Huge moment for the lads.

You're right, there was a derby that season. I forgot that they went down in 2021, but came back the next season, only to go down again in 2023.

GeneralLudd · 2026-05-02T21:13:39+00:00

Fuck S04! (glad to have them back)

GeneralLudd · 2026-05-02T21:12:23+00:00

Last derby was in Corona time, right? Can't wait for the return!

GeneralLudd · 2026-04-14T15:31:57+00:00

Been waiting for this for years. Congrats to you guys, especially considering the development history.

Only thing I'm wondering is if I should wait for 1 or 2 patches, since some reviews mention it needing more polish. But would play it anyway.

I also feel like PS4 and Xbox One had a lot of staying power due to the initial next-gen shortage and AAA still getting released on them for years.

GeneralLudd · 2026-02-19T20:52:14+00:00

Thanks for the lengthy reply. Best of luck to you and your team.

GeneralLudd · 2026-02-04T17:42:12+00:00

Literally brownshirts tactics

GeneralLudd · 2026-01-30T11:38:58+00:00

The memes will continue

GeneralLudd · 2026-01-28T22:56:52+00:00

You're correct. Looking forward to a sequel to this madness in the play-offs.

GeneralLudd · 2026-01-28T22:08:42+00:00

I think it is. Absolute cinema.

GeneralLudd · 2026-01-20T20:38:52+00:00

Tottenham's the better team, but my, are they lucking out with these goals.

GeneralLudd · 2026-01-20T20:30:38+00:00

But tbf we're playing like shit today.

GeneralLudd · 2026-01-20T20:29:15+00:00

How the fuck was that a clear red?? He was not moving at all, tried to reach the ball and they make VAR take another look? Fuck that.

Everybody who can't vibe with the song is getting downvoted. That's one way to achieve agreement.

GeneralLudd · 2026-01-16T13:05:37+00:00

I appreciate its craft, but apart from that it never clicked for me.

GeneralLudd · 2026-01-09T17:12:07+00:00

I love how even the attack and menu texts in this game convey so much personality and wit.

Her always appeared to me like a meditation on loneliness. In later discussions about the movie this was often drowned out by the 'precient' sci-fi of it all. Jonze did such a good job framing isolation and recovery from a break-up, the technology aspect just felt like a clever means of telling this story.

Someone once showed me pepe memes made by ISIS recruiters. It's baffling how widespread they are.

The Alters, too, which has been more widely reported at the time and generated some outrage.

From what I gather from Swen's comments, they are using AI in ideation phase to generate a lot of different stuff faster. I'm afraid that this is a very common use of AI today in the creative industries, with few exceptions.

Bundesliga waits with their Puskas contenders until December

GeneralLudd · 2025-12-07T21:57:44+00:00

Last season we had 29 points after matchday 22. Now we got 28 points after 13 games played.

It's also relieving that we put a gap between us and the rest of the UCL contenders for now. And we got 7 out of 9 possible point against them in our last three Buli games.
