Yeah I loved it. I'm honestly not that good with horror myself but if they make a third Paranormasight I wouldn't mind seeing them lean more into the horror elements again

β€œI’d play if it weren’t for the jump scares.” ParanormasightΒ devsΒ consciouslyΒ toned downΒ theΒ horror inΒ new sequelΒ in response to feedback from the first gameΒ  - AUTOMATON WEST The Paranormasight series creators say a surprising number of people complained about the first game's horror aspects.

Don't know if you knew this but the team said they deliberately toned down the scares coz some people skipped the first game due to the jump scares. On one hand I get it but I do miss the more overt horror elements automaton-media.com/en/news/id-p...

For all the gripes I have with the Mario movies, they are undeniably pretty

If you had told me at the beginning of the year that there'd be a Sonic the Hedgehod audio drama centered around the Chaotix that also brought back Infinite as its main villain, I'd have called you a liar and yet here we are

My thoughts exactly though I'll probably see it in the cinema because I'm part of the problem.

Also can't believe I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed that was just Yoshi's game actor doing the voice. Real stupid of me not to immediately assume it's another big name celebrity they can stick on the posters

Man, I felt nothing watching that Super Mario Galaxy movie trailer. Miyamoto describing it as things happening so quickly that you have no time to breathe confirms my worst fears. I'm sure it'll be harmless fun but these Mario movies really are just the epitome of empty calorie experiences

It's not that inaccurate a comparison given the whole post-apocalyptic vibes

If it is a remake, which do you think they'll go with? Ocarina of Time's the obvious one but I could see Nintendo doing the Link's Awakening treatment for A Link to the Past

That or it's just a double pack of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker ports a la the Super Mario Galaxy re-releases.

I'm not even a Perfect Dark fan and everything that happened with that reboot angers me beyond belief. Genuinely embarrassing stuff from Microsoft

Pretty fucked up that a game can debut at The Game Awards and be seen by millions of people and there's still a 50:50 chance it won't even come out.

So it’s Super Mario Galaxy but also Super Mario World but also Super Mario Odyssey but also Super Mario Bros Wonder but also Super Mario Bros. 2? This movie’s gonna be a fucking mess

Obviously Yuri Lowenthal is a fantastic Spidey but it's so cool getting to hear Josh Keaton voice him again.

Remember how original Yakuza 3 made you rapidly tap those awful L2 and R2 buttons on the PS3 controller for the chase sections?

It's crazy to watch a company say "we hate money" out loud. You are never getting PC players back into a console ecosystem. Maybe Sony doesn't care, but these cats made their choice, and all you're doing is very loudly saying "we do not want your money."

This is their logic, sure, but the types of folks that would've been buying Sony games on PC... probably weren't going to buy most of their games on PS5, anyway. Consoles are competitors, I remain unconvinced that primarily PC players are at all a significant part of Sony's ecosystem, or will be.

very insane that a game goes from final announcement at the biggest gaming event to shut down forever in a few months now

More proof that there's zero benefit to brown nosing Trump. Or does Starmer have a degradation kink?

He's probably gonna play an original human role but I'd be happy to be proven wrong if he's voicing a Sonic character.
