@Exerion76 I'm definitely with you on movies. I became disinterested in films at the time that the Marvel movies started way back when. I don't think I've watched any TV other than The Witcher since then either. Nothing on tele or cinema interests me anymore. Actually I tell a lie, I watched all of the John Wick films which i thoroughly enjoyed but thats about all i can remember.
In terms of games I have such a massive backlog which I'm clearing and they're a lot of different genres that I have not been bored at all. I've been playing the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time ever and I've been having such a blast I have been playing the sequels one after the other which is unheard of for me.
@Gabrie Yes my main console of choice is PS and it does suck not being able to pick any games up for cheap on CD Keys directly. I have to buy the PSN wallet top ups which are typically discounted to then buy through the digital store. Whereas if i remember correctly a lot of Xbox and PC titles are always offered for heavily discounted prices directly through CDKeys or whatever it is now known as.
@SalaciousCrumb Ghost of Tsushima was made on a budget of 60 million and had a revenue of 780 million. Ghost of Yotei had a similar budget.
Theyre one of the only studios showing how to produce quality and keep costs down.
Yes Insomniac and other studios budgets are out of control but it goes to show that there must be a way of mitigating these 'rising' costs and its for all studios to figure out how they are going to do that.
Horizon series budget between both games was reportedly around 260 million, with a revenue of 920 million. So I think the exclusives are still selling well!
@Lup It would be interesting to see how the recent wave of Gamepass cancellations affected this number.
However, personally i dont think it would have been much. When a solid game comes out (particularly a live service title) thats not on the subscription, people are not going to want to miss out.
@Feffster They all but appear to have given up on console sales this generation but they're supposedly releasing the next one in a couple of years.
They will want to stagger releases still. If it became a thing where Xbox released all of their flagship titles day one on competing platforms then suddenly the PS6 becomes a very intriguing option for existing Xbox owners if they know they'll get the best of both worlds on one system.
@cburg Two kindred spirits! DD2 is my second fave after Elden Ring but I have yet to play the Witcher 3! Its on my list for the latter half of this year.

Re: Ubisoft Missed The Xbox Kinect, So They Created An Ambitious Alternative
@Tasuki Exactly! I havent kept up with them in a while. Are they still making NFT style games too?
Re: Rumour: Halo Remake To Feature 'Modern Mechanics', Could Be Announced This Month
@Kezelpaso Personally i'm thinking it might be more along the lines of the Oblivion remaster / remake.
As a Playstation player I would prefer a full remake above all else, but i wouldn't be fussed if they went with the Oblivion style remaster.

Re: Gears Of War: Reloaded Is Top Of The PS5 Pre-Order Charts Right Now
@Fiendish-Beaver I don't think Sony fans ever said it has no games, but it had no games other than Gears, Halo, and Forza.
And no matter how much they let on, I think they all appreciate how good those franchises are even if they think that's all Xbox is known for.
