This looks... exactly like the original. And that's the biggest praise I could give to a remaster of one of the best and most lavish looking games of all time. Excited to play it!

Can the Erdtree deliver all these amazing boons? Elden Ring was an absolute banger, defo one of the best open-world games ever, and the second most proud I've ever been working on a title Player Research (the number one is a secret... for now) Erdtree in my veins now, please!!!

What happens when stakeholders make decisions based on greed instead of hard data research. "Executives kept reviewing demonstrations of the game and sending laudatory feedback, praising the graphics and saying they expected Suicide Squad to become a billion-dollar franchise"

Superb Microsoft presentation. The full fat E3 buffet: stylish trailers, a diverse range of genres, and tentpole experience after tentpole experience. An embarrassment of riches (and no free2play GaaS bs too...) Flawless victory?

The past month shows why the medium is simultaneously at the best and worst it's ever been. The best cause there's an avalanche of masterpieces being released (too many to cite here) The worst cause the excessive compression of releases is beyond any mortal's schedule and wallet

Amazing Nintendo-direct! Long awaited re-releases (Fantasian, DQIII) and rebastareds (what have they done with ma baby DK?)! Cool indies! Creepy Hobbits! A new Zelda: Link's Awa... no, Zelda's Awakening! BLOODY METROID PRIME 4! And it looks mostly* METROID PRIMEY!!!
