On top of sticking to their vision I also imagine Callisto Protocol is not a game that is easy to edit. The Callisto Protocol is gore porn like Dead Space, and just like Dead Space the main character has unique and brutal death animations for every enemy, machine, and weapon that kills him in the game. These aren't non-scripted events; these are motion captured cinematics that play to their gory end. If this game doesn't have non-gore porn versions of these death animations, then they are looking at potentially months of work to comply with regulations in a country where their game will sell 80-100k units' maximum. It's not worth their time. I definitely feel for the Japanese gamers that were excited to play Callisto Protocol, but one day a developer was always going to tell the Japanese ratings boards to **** themselves and today was that day.

I think it all comes down to resources and time. Silent Hill 2 is a completely standalone story in the Silent Hill franchise, at least for the most part. There are some connections to Silent Hill 2 in Silent Hill 4, but for the most part the game stands alone which makes it a prime candidate for a remake if they have no plans to remake any other game in the series. Shattered Memories was a reimagining of Silent Hill 1, but I don't think that was counted as a remake. I think ultimately it comes down to the fact that if they remake Silent Hill 1 then they have to remake Silent Hill 3 as the two games are heavily connected. It feels very Konami to see that as too much work.

The Silent Hill stream has ended. Silent Hill 2 Remake (developed by Bloober Team) - PS5/PC [12-month timed exclusive on PS5] Silent Hill Townfall (developed by No Code, published by Annapurna) Return to Silent Hill (Movie, directed by Christophe Gans) Silent Hill: Ascension (developed by Genvid, Bad Robot, and Behaviour Interactive) Silent Hill F (developed by Neobards Entertainment) Ascension seems to be the game that was rated in South Korea as "The Short Message". I have also included platforms where available, although most of these games didn't specify their platform.

Resident Evil and Silent Hill both doing things in the same week, it's like the late-90's all over again.

Spent the last 7 hours or so playing A Plague Tale: Requiem. It's a very good game, at least based on what I have played and a fantastic sequel to A Plague Tale: Innocence.

I haven't heard anything about platforms for these games. That said I wouldn't be surprised if most of these games were timed PS5 exclusives, especially Silent Hill 2 Remake given its name recognition in the mainstream.

They have three full-fledged Silent Hill games in the works and a movie. Now, whether we see all of them is another story. I think we'll see Silent Hill 2 Remake considering "In your restless dreams, do you see that town?" is a quote from Silent Hill 2, it's a bit on the nose, but a tease is a tease, and I also think we'll see Silent Hill: The Short Message which is either the name of the upcoming all new Silent Hill game, or the name of the playable demo for that game. Aside from that I'm not sure what else could appear. I have heard that Annapurna signed on to do an episodic Silent Hill game, but I'm not sure how far a long in development that one is.

Uncharted is a massive unknown. There were rumours a couple years ago that an Uncharted project had been outsourced to an unnamed studio, and if that winds up being true it's unknown if it'll be a Nathan Drake game. Given the events of The Lost Legacy, I think my money is on Uncharted 5 (if it happens) having Chloe Frazer as the main character.

Last I heard which was only a few months ago is that they have a script outline for Part 3, but full production hasn't started on it yet. Naughty Dog have a couple projects in the works right now. One is the live service multiplayer Last of Us game, which is planned for PS5 and PC, while the other project that is in full production is rumoured to have a fantasy setting, but nothing more is known aside from that. Naughty Dog have been expanding a lot over the last 12 months though so full production on Last of Us: Part 3 could potentially happen at any time.

Haaland has everything in his locker when it comes to play in the final third. He scores for fun, but also isn't selfish. I can't stand Man City, but if they don't win the Champions League with him in the squad then they never will.

That's where I'm at with the album too. It's their final album with Roadrunner Records and it very much feels like a contractual obligation album. This was album 7 of a 7-album deal and it just feels like they polished up some B-sides from the previous album cycle and released it. It's not a bad album by any stretch, but it's definitely not their most inspired work.

GTA Forums have restricted the hackers account likely at the request of Take-Two Interactive. They also had their telegram account suspended, but they're now on telegram under the name LilyHowarth, at least until that account gets suspended as well.

It might mean they have more. So far, the hacker/leaker has only leaked small amounts of the source code, but they may have more, and what they may still have could be the parts of the source code that are damaging to the project. For instance, this person could leak an excerpt of code for some single player feature, and no one at Rockstar would bat an eye, but if this person leaks the whole source code for GTA 6 Online then that would require massive re-writes as that would leave GTA 6 Online vulnerable to exploits, malware attacks, cheats and other things that could affect the players, or the security of the platform running the game. That kind of source code leak would give other unsavoury people the keys to the kingdom, and it would cost Rockstar tens of millions as they spend the 6-12+ months re-writing all code associated with GTA 6 Online. That said most companies don't give in to ransoms because it paints a massive target on them going forward. You don't want to be the company that gave millions of dollars to some hacker to get your source code back, because every hacker/criminal on the planet is going to descend on you like vultures.

As far as I'm aware this was the result of the company Slack getting hacked via social engineering, which allowed the hacker to breach the company network and download assets. The person that carried out this hack allegedly also hacked Uber a few days ago. This hack is huge. As @villarule123 said 90+ videos of in-engine debug footage from GTA VI. Plus, GTA V and GTA VI source code has allegedly also been stolen, the latter of which could see GTA VI delayed internally by multiple years as they refactor code that could impact the games online security.

The latest PS Blog Podcast here talks about PSVR2 and at around 29 minutes and 20 seconds it is confirmed that PSVR2 is not backwards compatible with PSVR1 games.

I believe the Ni No Kuni 1 Remaster came out on PlayStation in 2019, so this is merely Xbox getting a bit of parity back in Japan. I don't think the announced Ni No Kuni 2 was a remastered version, at least they didn't say that during the showcase. Very good showcase though. Nothing mind-blowing as far as new reveals is concerned, but that was a massive showcase for Xbox in Japan that really showed their intent in that region. Xbox hasn't been this strong in Japan since the Xbox 360 generation, and it's great to see them take it seriously again.

I think FF16 is a combination of Sony having marketing rights, but also the game not coming out until this time next year, so they likely don't have much they want to show currently. Some good guesses there. I think there is a chance something Silent Hill related could be there tonight as Sony getting the new Silent Hill, or the Silent Hill 2 Remake as a timed exclusive sounds like something they'd do. Koei Tecmo just entered into a contract with EA Originals (the good side of EA), so I'm not sure if they have anything to show and if they did, they'll likely do it at an EA event after recent events. The rest I'm just not sure. I think RE4 Remake might appear again, maybe with a PS5 exclusive demo like Resident Evil Village got, but I'm not sure about anything else. A Team Asobi VR game would be fantastic though.

This State of Play is focused almost entirely on their Japanese partners, with some additional surprises from studios around the world. It'll be around 20 minutes long, and will be showing 10 games from PS5, PS4 and PSVR2. Overall, I don't know what to expect. The last State of Play for "not-E3/Summer Game Fest" was arguably the best State of Play of all time so that muddies my expectations somewhat. Part of me is expecting a nothing burger, while the other part of me is theory crafting the best State of Play of all time. We'll see later tonight, I guess.

I'm not sure how long each campaign is going to be as Codename Red is planned for 2024, while Codename Hexe is planned for 2026 (according to leaks). This leads me to believe that the campaigns are going to be pretty substantial as they have 2 years each to satiate the fanbase. I can see both being £70 campaigns that are 300+ hours each. I don't think they are getting rid of the RPG mechanics for the Infinity games. The only reason Mirage doesn't have the RPG systems is because it started life as a DLC and was expanded out to be a 20-hour game in the style of AC2, but I don't think that's the norm going forward although I might be wrong. As for the multiplayer. They are working on a fully multiplayer game called Assassin's Creed: Invictus which will exist within the Infinity Hub in some form. If this is a 3D explorable space, then Invictus is probably accessed via a PVP/Multiplayer centric character like in Destiny, but they are making sure that Infinity is a multiplayer thing. The main campaigns seem to be solely single player, but everything outside of those campaigns sounds like it's going to be all online. I just wish they showed us. I know that the plan is for Infinity to launch with Codename Red in 2024 (delays permitting), but they can surely show us a proof of concept, so it makes more sense and is less abstract. It all sounds very Destiny with players roaming about an online hub between multiplayer games, or between single player sessions in the Animus, but until they show us this could be anything. I also have the same questions about playing Codename Red and not playing Codename Hexe, how does that work? I assume the Infinity Hub (whatever it is) will make it very hard to not play them all, as it'll ultimately be a constant way to advertise to the player new content for them to buy. The only thing that is fully confirmed at this time is that the modern-day story is no longer going to be told in the main campaigns, and instead will be separate and exclusive to the Infinity Hub in some way. I don't think that will alleviate the problem of skipping games though, if anything it may make it worse if the modern-day story in the Hub starts referencing things you should know from playing Hexe, or Red.

Ubisoft are going to need to release a trailer at some point to show exactly how the Infinity hub works because the Internet at large is struggling. A trailer on how it exactly worked might have been a good idea. It's great to tease Red which is Feudal Japan, and it's great to tease Hexe which is 16th Century Europe during the Witch Trials. That's awesome, I love to see it, but Infinity is what everyone has questions about as these new games require the hub, it's mandatory. Is the Infinity hub a space where the player creates a character and walks around in it? Is it merely a screen before the game loads that gives several options? This hub could be anything. In my mind it has to be a playable space because Ubisoft need a way to funnel in MTX and Battle Passes, and having players created characters wearing their new £30 cosmetic MTX is a great way to shift more digital shit, so my cynical brain tells me it has to be a playable 3D space, but they're being vague to the point where it's a whole lot of nothing right now. It was great to see what the future has it store, especially Hexe which could be a very dark game, but I have questions about Infinity that I am sure Ubisoft will continue to skirt-around until 2024.

I think that's why he went scorched earth. He knows his career is over. He's never going to get another world title run in AEW (provided he's not fired first) as his first title run lasted a week before he annihilated his foot, he then comes back and in his second match back tears his tricep and is out for 8 months minimum. That's two reigns that lasted a grand total of like 9 days. He's finished regardless of what happens with the third-party investigation surrounding the backstage fight.

It's widely believed now that Tony Khan was aware that CM Punk was going to say something at the Media Scrum, but CM Punk saying he's going to set the record straight behind the scenes and how he actually does it on camera are two different things. That face, and the many other faces during that Media Scrum are faces of betrayal, faces of disappointment, and faces of hurt. Tony Khan is at worst naive, but I feel for him in this scenario.

Everyone involved in the altercation after All Out has been suspended. That includes Kenny Omega, Matt & Nick Jackson, Pat Buck, Christopher Daniels, Michael Nakazawa, and Brandon Cutler. CM Punk and Ace Steel will either be part of those suspended or will no longer be with the company by the end of Wednesday. This latest info comes courtesy of Sports Illustrated.
