PlayStation Worldwide president Shuhei Yoshida is stepping down. Man, Sony losing fucking everybody?
Shuhei Yoshida is stepping down from PlayStation Worldwide. And, the dude’s departure is just one of many over the last couple years. The exodus concerns me, especially since it’s coming right before the launch of the PS5. How about you?
‘World of Warcraft: Shadowlands’ Cinematic Trailer: That Power Will Be Your Prison!
Even if they don’t make me super horny like they used to, I’m always excited by the announcement of a new World of Warcraft expansion. Shadowlands, baby!
‘Diablo IV’ Cinematic and Gameplay Trailers: By Three They Come, and They’re All Very Bloody
Oh, fuck yeah. We got ourselves some Diablo IV, people! Not just an announcement cinematic, either! A gameplay trailer too!
‘Modern Warfare’ makes $600 million in opening weekend. The best for the series this generation. ‘Modern Warfare’ is bank, dudes.
Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare reboot/remix is paying dividends. On its opening weekend the title made $600 million, which is the most for the series this generation. Me? Well, I bought the title based on the acclaim it’s single-player campaign is getting. Been a minute since I snagged a CoD, but members of the Space-Ship Omega know how much I’ve loved the series over the years. So, I’m stoked to check it out.
‘Death Stranding’ Launch Trailer: Eight minutes of Kojima’s next magnum opus
Here’s the launch trailer for Death Stranding, and woah is the motherfucker meaty. Eight goddamn minutes of confusing but intriguing content. I didn’t think I was going to engage this pig! However, with the delays of a few titles, and general curiosity building, I’m not sure anymore. I’ve officially wandered into “let’s see how the reviews are” territory.
PlayStation 4 is the second best selling console of all damn time. It’s sold 102.8 million systems, g’damn.
The PlayStation 4 is successful, folks. We’ve known that for a minute. But, how fucking successful is it? It’s officially the second best selling console of all time. And? It makes sense. It has an absolute fucking Murderer’s Row of exclusives.
Shigeru Miyamoto named “Person of Cultural Merit” by Japanese government which is a prestigious-as-fuck accomplishment
Man. Just think about Shigeru Miyamoto. The dude has given so many of us so much throughout the decades. And now? The Japanese government is recognizing Miyamoto for his contributions.
Microsoft bringing back Xbox All Access bundles with Project Scarlett upgrade included in one. G’damn that’s gotta be tempting for some!
Microsoft is bringing back its All Access bundle. The motherfucker is essentially the same as a cell phone subsidization or whatever — you pay as little as $19.99 a month for 24-months. In return? You get a console, XBL, and Xbox Game Pass. But, wait, there’s more! If you choose to opt into the Xbox One X bundle? You’ll get a free upgrade to Project Scarlett next year.
Pretty fucking dope deal, no?
Oh hey, ‘Watch Dogs 3’ is also delayed and now Spring 2020 is really wide open
Watch Dogs 3 is also delayed! For a minute, Spring 2020 looked insane. DOOM Eternal, Final Fantasy VII Money Grab, The Last of Us Part II, and Cyberpunk 2077. Well, little by little, it’s thinning out. Feeling a bit less overwhelming.
‘The Last of Us Part II’ delayed until May 2020. Sucks, but delay is better than compromised quality.
It was announced literally last month that The Last of Us Part II was dropping in February, 2020. That is no more. Now, the title is dropping May 29th, 2020. And I ain’t complaining! Not only do I want the team to take as long as they need, but it also frees up what was an insanely packed Spring.
