@yoshi I know, I was saying that I don't have a PS5, so I can only check out SWRC out of the games I mentioned

Stumbled upon Hitchhiker, this seems neat. Comes out April 15th.

"Hitchhiker is a mystery game set along lost highways, where your goal is to solve the puzzle of your own backstory. As a hitchhiker with no memory or destination, you catch a series of rides across a strange and beautiful landscape, tracking the mysterious disappearance of a person close to you. Your drivers range from stoic farmers to off-duty waitresses, and each one has a story to tell. Clues appear, alliances emerge, and nothing is quite what it seems."

@el-shmiablo hoping it's something like this just so we all can have a good laugh

Apparently Aloy is coming to Fortnite soon. You know what, I'm bored af rn, might just download the game again just to check it out.

Also, this got me thinking that Sony might be way more willing to do cross overs with their big franchises now, considering the focus to milk as much cash from them. Smash next? Maybe smoothing out the deal for them to show up at EVO or something.

@jdincinerator living up to its name, huh

@dmcmaster lol I didn't even know it's already released there. So hyped for it, I really like 2.0 and 3.0 in particular.

Some insight on behind the scenes of Days Gone 2 and could have been from ex-game director Jeff Ross, and also insight of Sony's inner works in response to Schreier's article

One of the craziest clutch play I have ever seen, it's the grand finals winning play too!

@mbun Totally agree. I will not deny the naivety of my line of thinking here, but I think that it's a waste of money to only focus on your biggest games in this market. Like, you should use the big wad of cash you got to take risks and diversify your portfolio like you said. Your big franchises are going to do just fine as long as you keep doing the bare minimum to maintain them. The luxury to "safely" take risks is not something to be taken for granted, I think. I'm sure Sony will do just fine since they have great big franchises, but it's just less exciting (and maybe short sighted) for me to only focus on them.

Also, I was thinking about Sony spending more money on marketing than any of the big three recently, and I hope Sony actually gets to do marketing right on all of their games this gen. There's many of their games in the PS4 era that didn't get enough marketing IMO. Gravity Rush 2 and Ni No Kuni II being booted off the main E3 conferences to pre or post show comes to mind, and also Concrete Genie, MediEvil remake, Dreams, etc.
