BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games, the studio responsible for modern remakes of classic games such as Demon's Souls and Shadow of the Colossus, Bloomberg News has learned.

A shocking end for a well-respected studio.

Bluepoint was working on a God of War live-service game until it was canceled early last year. The studio then spent the last year pitching and trying to determine what it would do next.

this shuts down rumors that bethesda will move to unreal engine for ES6

Today’s game is Quake. Specifically QBJ3. I saw someone talking about this and decided I’d give it a try. I’d never played Quake before this. But I saw someone talking about the modpack and thought it was pretty so I tried it. I even bought a copy of Quake 1 for it.

I really like the modpack. It’s got some some amazing artistry too it, maybe jumping headfirst into it for an evening of fun wasn’t the best idea though. I think I’d appreciate it more if I’d actually played Quake 1 before.

I played 1 map where you’re escaping from prison which was a load of fun. It went on a while though so I stopped and tried a different level.

Next I tried one called “Penis day at the Gym”. I have no clue what the hell I played but it was fun. I got a laugh out of me slipping on a banana peel to my death. I also found something called a Brutalist Butt Plug.

The final one I played I can’t remember the name of but it had something to do with a house. Design wise it reminds me of Silent Cartographer in Halo CE. I think it’s my favorite to play. It had a lot of wide openness the others didn’t.

I do think that openness works against it though too, as it maid it harder to hit targets. That ended up causing me to stop as I was fighting a group of enemies I just couldn’t get past.

I really liked this modpack, ultimately though I think it was more so a fun evening for me to mess around. When I decide to set my mind to it though I’d love to come back for an evening and finish a bunch of the levels.

I do like dnd but ive just had some form of burnout lately and i feel like my depression isint helping either.

I want to explore other games and genres besides just dnd 5e. I would like to try solo but im not sure what the most beginner approach/game would be that is free, as i dont want to pay right away. I would also like to explore unique card games similar to tcgs but those dont really come solo.

Im up to hear out your suggestions and questions.

Hi, this is a quick post I make to talk about something I keep seeing online everywhere.

A lot of people say that the price increases will force developers to optimize and to work with what hardware they have to make good games and stop using AI gen and DLSS tech as an excuse for poor optimization.

The big problem is that nobody thinks about those people that don't have the hardware right now.
Those people that were waiting for a discount to buy a PS5 or a PC and now they're left stranded.

Current-gen consoles are getting really hard to find and a lot of people have been left out, stuck on old-gen and old-games.

playing old-games is not a bad thing but you may have missed the fact that even old consoles are getting reaaally pricey thanks to scalpers and speculators of the market.

This is madness people. Fight AI, don't embrace it!

Today's game is some more Alan Wake 2. I finished up Alan's half of the story today. I have to say i'm sad to leave it once again. Don't get me wrong, i love Saga's story. But damn, Alan's story has some high highs and stellar ideas. Meanwhile Saga's story is more so constant.

This time around I sat and watched the entirety of Nightless Night for the first time. It was amazing, it legit had me checking if there were post credit scenes. I love that remedy did this. They absolutely did not have to make a short film for the game. But they did anyways. And not only that but they made a really good one too.

Speaking of the theater before i leave it, One of the shadows spawned in his seat backwards which made me laugh. I had to stop and look at it.

As i was heading out i stopped to grab some collectibles, and you know what i ran into that actually really unsettled me for the first time in a while since first playing this game? This shadow barrier at the edge of the dark place. It makes this humming noise and you can't see what's out there. There could be nothing, or there could be the worst thing ever. It freaks me the fuck out. I love it.

After that things went by pretty fast. I made way to the studio and grabbed the photos before dropping them off, and bam, I'm with Saga. That means soon I'll be playing the DLC which I'm excited to do. I want to get to that tomorrow hopefully.

Tao said the company plans to “minimize the impact” of rising memory costs by focusing on “monetizing the installed base” and growing software and network services revenue.

Maybe something lost in translation but that sure sounds like gouging existing customers to me.

I'm talking more along the lines of, having simulator games where you work in a supermarket and you get to cause as much mayhem as possible. Not in terms of just simply killing, but more like, being a very disgruntled worker in a very annoyingly noisy environment with shitty customers. That game doesn't exist to me and I wish it would.

Instead, we get more simulator games where you're at the service of the people. That's going backwards, if you ask me.

Also, I don't remember asking for armchair psychologists to come here and start dropping unasked thoughts about how to best relieve stress. Check those at the door.

I regret literally everything about that title.

Today’s game is Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I’ve been checking in on this one daily. Did I maybe sort of promise to stick to New Leaf regularly? Maybe. Did I break that promise to myself? Definitely. Am I going to stick with this one? Probably not.

Anyways, I’ve been having a lot of fun with this. Shocker. I know. But I’ve grown especially fond of catching fish to display in my house. I have this squid in named Sammy. I fear Sammy’s enclosure is too small for him, but I don’t have anywhere else to put him other than sell him. And I refuse to do that.

I got both the shops constructed which is great. I ended up getting them both placed, before finally deciding to just Time Travel, as I decided I’d have more fun that way.

After that I went clothes shopping. I find it funny how sassy the player character looks. They look good and they damn well know it.

After dressing myself up I went and looked at the aquarium. Honestly that’s my favorite part of this game. Just the aquarium. Bugs, Art, Fossils? Nope. They can all screw off (nicely), I want to look at the fish dammit. I like how the lighting of the water looks and just like staring. The music that plays there is nice too. Really calming.

I ended up just propping my Switch up and watched them while I did some homework. It was chill. I actually ended up ripping the entire OST and adding it to my Jellyfin to stream.

That’s kind of all I got up too. I wanted to update on what I did last time, try and build up a habit and all that. I’m gonna try and binge Alan Wake II tomorrow, I wanted to marathon it to see how far I get.

After last week's Star Wars: Galactic Racer gameplay trailer reveal, IGN sat down with the game's makers for an in-depth chat revealing its new systems and story mode, and a proper discussion on why this marks the triumphant return of track-based racing, after so many open world games.
