Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, first time I’m using my Ps5 since I beat Uncharted Lost Legacy January 2026.

Besides that I just beat Azure Striker Gunvolt Enhanced Edition and Yakuza Dark Ties on my Switch 2.

I might also start Resident Evil Village or Street Fighter 6’s World Tour Mode.

Re: Next Xbox Console Could Be Affected By PlayStation Pulling Back On PC

@fatpunkslim @DennisReynolds Schreier didn’t say GTA 6 would get a delay to 2027, Schreier said GTA is on track for its November 2026 release date but could see a final delay potentially depending on how things go. Other websites changed that quote into saying it’s gonna get delayed again. Schreier has called out websites for pulling what he said out of context.

.+ schreier said it off the record in a podcast, not in an article.

Re: Insomniac Shares Cold-Hearted Response To The Chances Of Spider-Man 2 Coming To Xbox

@RiverGenie Sony does not own spider-man
Sony owns the movie rights and that’s it.
Disney owns the TV, videogame, merchandise, comics, toys and marketing rights.
Disney licenses spider-man to Sony for the video games just like they do wolverine to sony and indiana jones and blade to Microsoft.

When this licensing deal expires Disney has the right to port the 3 spider-man games to switch and xbox.

Re: Mewgenics Is The Best-Rated Game Of 2026 So Far, But Will It Get An Xbox Version?

Like @Questionable_Duck said. He’s referring to ps4/5 and not Xbox. Edmund isn’t a fan of game consoles at all especially Xbox. IIRC he’s been burned on Xbox through his experience with XBLA on 360.

Edit: also ā€œso they surely won't want to leave money on the table by avoiding Xbox.ā€
I don’t think Edmund cares about money at all. He made Isaac Repentance because he got too much money from a kickstarter campaign.

Happy new year for everyone at NintendoLife, PureXbox and PushSquare!

May GTA VI finally release! May Pragmata be an amazing new IP! May Ace Attorney 7 finally be announced! May we get some amazing first party games from Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony! And most of all, may we see little to none layoffs and may the AI bubble burst!

Re: Xbox & PlayStation's New Social Media Ads Make Fans Question Whether 'Console War' Is Over

@BAMozzy it’s sad and completely unnecessary. When children do it I understand, they can’t just go ā€œI’ll play on everything and then someā€ but adults (that aren’t in a poor financial situation) absolutely have the ability to play on anything and no reason to argue out of brand loyalty.

Saw a post on r/gamecollecting recently about a guy saying with rumors the next xbox is all digital they feel like they bet on the wrong horse and people told him to collect multiplatform and he kept responding that he’d never buy PlayStation or Nintendo because he’s loyal to xbox and always will be, said he’d quit gaming before collecting for the ā€œother teamsā€.

Re: Xbox & PlayStation's New Social Media Ads Make Fans Question Whether 'Console War' Is Over

I’ll rewrite my comment more ā€œnicelyā€
The console wars aren’t a thing, haven’t been for years. Some people convince themselves they exist for various reasons but it’s unnecessary, the only actual console wars that happened was the SNES v Mega Drive. Most people these days either own all platforms, a PC or just don’t care about waging a ā€œwarā€. And that’s a good thing.

Re: Roundup: New Lord Of The Rings Game Launches On Xbox To Mixed Reviews

@Kaloudz well because 1.) the Tolkien estate is squeezing money out of the IP atm and 2.) I think if they would wait on the IP to lapse they still couldn’t air it in the US without licensing it.

It’s the same reason why Sherlock Holmes has to be renamed to Herlock Sholmes so often. The books have been public domain worldwide for years except for in the US where the Arthur Conan Doyle estate still owns the character.

Re: 'Oblivion Remastered' Images Leak Ahead Of Imminent Xbox Release

darkswabber

@Fiddleroyolanda @FraserG it’s a remake that calls itself a remaster like similar games (crash bandicoot, spyro, spongebob, THPS, Dead Rising)

It’s a trend that started after Resident Evil 2 and FF7R where companies started calling remakes ā€œremastersā€ if it didn’t completely change the gameplay and story
