LITERALLY HOW

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.

If they remake those games with the reboot's combat system then there will be even less of a reason for them to exist then there already was. I'd be livid.

Finally got round to Travis Strikes again and the Dan Smith cameo has been worth the price of admission alone WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG

No Turks were Mechanised in the making of this game.

I predict layoffs after it doesn't make a kerjillion dollars instantly

Good to know there's mutual visceral hatred somewhere in the world

Might get OG Resis on Steam finally if they've put Dino Crisis' on

Peace walker Co-op is back

HE'S FINALLY FREE FROM CONTAINMENT

Tonetta is still around?!?

Is this what people are talking about online when they keep asking for some of that Ghoul's Milk?

Some poor children are going to try this

Darren Aranofsky accused of stealing other people's work for the first time in history

Being spooked by this bastard. My dad had this colossal book with code symbols to get through some weird copy protection to even play the game

Ninja Gaiden 4 has that sauce huh

Love that Dead By Daylight has two Vecnas now

Last week saw more chaos at Ubisoft and the first showcase of the year. @bigbovy.bsky.social rounds everything in the latest Update Patch. www.patreon.com/posts/update...

Despite Ubisoft doing so many things wrong I'm always astounded they've been doing banger updates on For Honor

Rainbow Six (Games Cancelled)

Did the impossible and made him not a complete dork. Might try him for my secondary

I hear Sands of Time was cancelled cause they accidentally cast an Iranian voice actor

"Don't worry, we'll keep making games like Skull & Bones," probably isn't the sort of message that will alleviate any fears about your company's future.

Beginning to suspect the week I won't report layoffs is during the holiday week

Now I can complain this almost made me miss an interview cause of the fire engine traffic

My "ask me about Machine Learning in videogames" t-shirt is raising a lot of questions

Hellblade you've taken the mantle from Agents of Mayhem for being the last game I literally can't beat due to a game breaking glitch. It's a shame, kinda. The is good, kinda.

Great as always to write for startmenu doing the first Update Patch of the year. Shame it's already feeling a bit 2025-y.

Sony never beating the movie game allegations

Regardless of anything to do with AI this is baffling from even a branding perspective.

My Top 8 games of 2025 padded out with games with updates cause I only played eight games from 2025: 10? Vampire Survivors 9? Rogue Trader 8. Eriksholm 7. ARC Raiders 6. Shape of Dream 5. Ninja Gaiden 4 4. Donkey Kong Bananza 3. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 2. Hades 2 1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

it's called the rtx 5090 because that's how much it costs

The startmenu Awards return for another year with the debut of the first site-wide vote for startmenu’s Game of the Year! But before that, we’ve got a selection of critics’ choice awards highlighting the good, the bad, and the ugly of 2025.

The year can't officially end until I see Derrick's face circa 2008 or whatever.

Disappointment

Gamers. It’s time

Here we are, at the end of our first calendar year as a website. So we present to you Rewinder's Game of the Year awards for 2025.

If we’re going to get really no quarter about genAI usage, I’m going to need people to learn the difference between AI and genAI real fast.

Alot of the jokey bullshit on here is very similar to old twitter but I do think the general culture of folks sharing articles and going “hey read this” about in-depth stuff makes it better about news than Twitter ever was

Getting the GenAI coke Christmas ad from last year on my YouTube ads and forgot how shockingly bad it looks

Clair Obscur gonna win GOTY so Geoff Keighley can say wow a small company of only 30 people made this to every investor in the games industry

MORPHEUS: They're coming for you, Neo. I can guide you, but you must do exactly as I say. Take the elevator to the lobby and go to the CVS across the street. Purchase 5 Steam gift cards at $200 each. Scratch off the protective coating on the back and tell me the fifteen digit redemption codes. Hurry
