You can't go rewarding people for taking their lives, either. Every circumstance is different. I am looking at it from both sides. Dying from disease is one thing, this isn't the same by any means. People with mental health issues don't always think rationally

"At the end of the day if it makes a few desperately unhappy people feel a bit better it's a good thing. "

It's a good thing that the idea of being in a game makes suicidal people happy?

if people think there's a chance of getting into a game, it might be enough to push them over the edge and decide to go through with it. Mental health is serious, things that may seem insignificant to a healthy person might affect somebody with ment...

He killed himself, many people who do have depression. All we need is some lonely kid with mental health issues deciding they love WoW or some other game so much they want to die and be memorialized forever.

I don't think he should be in the game.

*Edit*
I think it could lead to copycat situations where people who are hurting and feel hopeless decide they want to be in a game.

I have suffered with depression since I was a teenager. I once went to a bridge and thought of jumping. I became an alcoholic and yesterday had 9 years of sobriety. Help is available, suicide isn't the answer

Price doesn't have to be announced for a preorder, you don't pay until it ships anyway. The whole preorder thing is weird, but I'm not concerned about the price

I agree

I don't see why the knowing the price matters to so many people. You'll either have the money or you won't. Say they announce $600, would anyone really wait to buy it? There are plenty of people willing to pay any price at launch. Those who wait for a price drop just allow somebody with the money to get in line.

I might have to buy one... But I still want next gen consoles.

On a side note: I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know spatial audio was a thing in Windows until an hour ago! I've been gaming for years and never realized I was missing out!

I always thought it was weird that old games on Sega and NES mentioned character's blood type in the manual

Avocado is healthy but has a lot of fat. Do you want the extra calories? Burritos are high calorie to begin with, so I would probably skip it, but I'm trying to lose a couple pounds. I'm 160 and want to be between 155-159. It's up to you, though

"All of the people we spoke to at Rare, either intentionally or accidentally, referred to the studio as being about 'new IP'. And to a certain generation of Rare fan, that will be disappointing to hear. To them, Rare is Joanna Dark, Banjo Kazooie and Conker."

"Doing new things have always been part of Rare's DNA," counters Prodger. "All we're doing is really formalising that."

"Prodger refers to Battletoa...

He said Insomniac said it's only possible "on new hardware", I said that above. Look back at articles from June, Insomniac said the game is only possible on PS5 because of the SSD and that the SSD was a game changer. Now Keighley said Insomniac says it's only possible on new hardware. Did he just misquote them or did they change their stance on what's possible on other consoles?

How can they allow game pass when Xbox games use different code?

You mean Xcloud streaming

There's a difference between a game releasing on a console and a console being capable of playing it. I'm talking about the portals being used in a similar manner on Series X, not Ratchet coming to series x, reading comprehension is important

You will see a Playstation studio logo on Series X, MLB The Show is going multiplatform, that's common knowledge by now. You're trying to be clever and snarky and it backfired

I am buying PS5 and Series X. I already got an LG CX and I'm ready for next gen. I just thought it was weird Insomniac/Keighley didn't claim it was only possible on PS5. People have claimed certain games are only possible on PS5 due to the ultra fast drive and it's almost an acknowledgement that this is possible on a slower SSD. It's just something I noticed, that's all. I could be reading too much into it or devs may realize that both consoles are capable of similar ...

All of the segments were cringe. They shouldn't be giving out "best" awards to unfinished games unless it's "best of show" or "best upcoming game".

Anyone notice how Keighley said insomniac says R&C is only possibly "on brand new hardware" and not PS5? Is he hinting that it is possible on Series X?

Bard's take was developed by around 35 people. I think Wasteland 2 probably had a similar number. They now have over 70 employees
