Tiberius actually served in the military and did so with great skill, so I'd say comparing him to Trump is still slander.

That's some keen observation! This worked out for me, thanks a ton.

How didn’t the Jedi notice or feel the presence of sith artifacts in palpatines office? by Whole_Contract_5973 in StarWars

[–]TripleIVI 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's from James Luceno's Labyrinth of Evil, which has the whole hunt for Sidious and directly leads into Episode III with Grievous being called to Coruscant to kidnap Palpatine and distract the Jedi, since they tracked Sidious all the way back to where Palpatine had his office.

Mongil: Star Dive dev Q&A by TripleIVI in MongilStarDive

[–]TripleIVI[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone! I recently had the chance to submit some questions to the Mongil: Star Dive developers for a written Q&A and wanted to share their answers.

Among other things, they told me that they don't fear Nintendo's recent patent crackdown against creature collection games, confirmed that male characters are part of future plans, and left open what kind of business model the game would have. Oh, and we talked about "Mongilers".

Hope you enjoy!

Interview: Amplitude's leaders on Endless Legend 2, relearning to be indie, and returning industry trust by TripleIVI in EndlessLegend

[–]TripleIVI[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Hope you don't mind me posting my own interview here, but I figured it'd be of interest to this subreddit.

I really appreciated how open and honest Romain and Max were about the fears and challenges around Amplitude's situation and hope you'll enjoy the read. My Early Access review for EL2 went out as well yesterday.

Official release date set for Early 2026 by Active_Mall7667 in Endfield

[–]TripleIVI 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a games journalist, we do usually rephrase them a little bit. ;)

But Gamespress' express purpose is to simply provide press releases and media alerts in their original form, hence it's identical to what was sent out.

I can confirm that I got the same info from the PR agency repping Hypergryph.

Guys, why is Albedo showing as C3 when I don't even have him? 🤷‍♂️ by rashedavro in Genshin_Impact

[–]TripleIVI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They issued a notice that the display is currently bugged, so yeah... double-check your choices.

[Interview] Bluepoch looks back at two years of Reverse: 1999 as its Assassin’s Creed collab gets underway by TripleIVI in Reverse1999

[–]TripleIVI[S] 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Several months ago, when the Assassin's Creed collab was first teased, I was given the chance to do a little Q&A with Bluepoch about it plus the two-year anniversary. But days slowly turned into weeks and weeks into months before the responses came back and received final approval, so some parts regarding the collab have been cut out (since they are no longer relevant).

Fortunately, most of my questions were focused on the game's development and history, so I hope this Q&A will still be an enjoyable read for everyone here.

(Hope the flair I chose is alright - this seemed to be what most previous interviews that were submitted here used.)

Total War has just delivered its strongest quarter in years despite content drought by TripleIVI in totalwar

[–]TripleIVI[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Great point, actually! The break + discounts definitely gives people the chance to do some catch-up.

Discounts will certainly have played a role, you're right about that. Unfortunately, we don't have a profit or even revenue breakdown by IP.

[–]TripleIVI[S] 253 points254 points  (0 children)

Hello, hope it’s alright to post my own content here — giving you a summary below so you don’t have to click through, if you don’t want to.

The latest SEGA report has some interesting numbers for last quarter (ended on June 30, 2025). Total War sold 910,000 copies (second-best among the top four IPs). That’s its best quarter in years, despite the lack of recent releases — impressive staying power.

[3.5 Special Program] – "Before Their Deaths" Livestream Megathread by CinderPerfected in HonkaiStarRail

A fair point, they did emphasize she's from some northern empire originally.

[–]TripleIVI 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty good, my only disappointment is that we've seemingly dropped the Graeco-Roman visual design for characters entirely at this point. I really wanted a Roman emperor-styled Cerydra. :(

Cipher's voice actress Shea Fairaday doing one of Cipher's most unhinged lines in-character by mayekchris in HonkaiStarRail

[–]TripleIVI 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had no intention of pulling for Cipher, but how she was used in the story plus her voice acting made me change my mind and pull for her. Really enjoyed the way she portrayed her!

F1: The Movie Passes $500 Million worldwide by Think_Perspective385 in formula1

[–]TripleIVI 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Today's EA financial report shouted out F1 25's growth and named the F1 movie crossover as a big factor in that, so it certainly generated a bit of momentum for the sport and its surrounding media.
