yep.

portal 2 - 2011
half life alyx - 2020
counter strike 2 - 2023

not really much else and what there is isn't really appropriate for console audiences.   that's kind of why i'm wondering out loud if this will come to series x and ps5.

PS5 could really use a Half Life Alyx port now that PSVR2 is out. I think if Valve was planning to release this on consoles, they would have been happy to take Sony's money and port Alyx too.

even with a pay off from sony i think alyx is too small for valve to care about it purely from a $ perspective.  best case senario it sells to 100% of psvr2 owners and that's what,.. 2-3 million eventually?

counter strike could sell 5 million day 1 across both platforms.  


i guess i'm saying the lack of alyx is not damping my hope for counterstrike on consoles.

 1:50:17 reel for Shuhei Yoshida.

Phil Harrison has quite a record.

Leaving Sony after the PS3 early years.
Leaving Microsoft after the Xbox One years.
Leaving Google after Stadia years.

Quite a habit of being in places while things go bad.

(Even though most of it probably isn't his fault.

Isn't he in marketing?

No. But I am not saying any of this was his fault. He just has a funny history of being a big exec, and leaving after things go bad and watching things improve after he left.

At Sony, towards the end he was managing first party development.
He was (is?) one of the vice presidents at Google.

love this:
- metroidvania inspired map
- no combat,.. pure platforming bliss!

It was funny enough just going from sony to xbox. After stadia it's a curse

Oh cool! I just learned of a game that has a more developed cartoony version of the player physics from Forged Odyssey.

The next few weeks should be pretty busy.  

Sony fiscal year ending

I believe the Activision CMA decision should be made by that point.

I imagine you won't have to wait much longer for a Star Wars RTS from a big-name developer...
