fable
horizon
beast of reincarnation


1. excited to see fable as long as we actually see fable.  not CGI BS.  launches in 2026 so there had better be game play.   hoping for a ps5 announcement too.
2. i had to look up the trailer and in doing so i remember seeing it before.   that said it did not register with me that this is gamefreak doing multiplatform development.   ...and making a game that doesn't appear to be a technical mess despite having 2 gen old graphics.

Starfield coming to PS5 in April apparently.

Any word on game updates?

I generally enjoyed Starfield. Excited to see what the updates bring. No game captures the interstellar vibes better.

But apparently Todd said the game isn't going to be wildly different. Not like FF XIV getting a crazy relaunch.

my interest level in starfield is less than 0 so definitely not watching.   but anything you are happy about?

Outside of some diorama/action figure stuff and a new story for the Terran Armada dlc, it looks exactly like the old game. As in I wouldn't have realized this was an update stream vs a generic starfield hype vid outside of those two things.

So lol.

Only 3 minutes in though.

Oh wait nevermind cool. They seem to have made space travel not a menu. Now you actually fly everywhere. So that is awesome.

edt: April 7 PS5

These were the only two things I knew about the stream.

"Game Pass is central to gaming value on Xbox. It's also clear that the current model isn't the final one," says Sharma. "Short term, Game Pass has become too expensive for players, so we need a better value equation. Long term, we will evolve Game Pass into a more flexible system which will take time to test and learn around."

so basically it will turn into ps+
- cost less
- no day-1

or basically turn it into EA+
- cost less
- MS titles only

not sure what else they could do to be honest.   it's not inexpesive is you are truely interested in MS's games all on day-1 and a big library of rotating games.   it's problem is that the number of consumers looking for an all you can eat buffet isn't hundreds of millions.   there are just a couple 10s of million that are that into gaming.   

for the vast majority of us that play  5 or less games a year it's only too much price because it's too much content.  5x$70 is $350 which is less than a year of gamepass ultimate and:
1. games go on sale quite fast
2. gamepass won't nessisarily get the game i really want to play

[kitler53]

...and don't think i don't know that you can get a lesser teir of gampass.  but...

ps+ essential:  400 games.  $135 annual.

gamepass premium:  200 games.  $180 annual.

They will probably introduce an ad supported version lol.

Oh wait AI says this is highly rumored.
