Sometimes I question their network engineers.  Then I realize this is just scummy business decisions and they had to make last minute changes because of user push back.

i mean, i work software.  sometimes you have to make less than optimal design choices but this is pretty fudgy unacceptable.   i'm searching now but it doesn't look like there is a system setting to disable the auto-installation of disc games.  that would be a very simple solution to a terrible fudgy problem.

supposedly this was "fixed" but i'm seeing i'm not the only one seeing this within the last six months.  lots of posts specifically from horizon FW too....

I really loved when Abby told Ellie "we really are the last of us."

Spoiler for Hidden:

<br>Was such a cool moment playing from Abby&#39;s perspective silently breaking in to a place that has previously been your safe house.<br><br>Although it was also kinda broken with dissonance between what I as the player wanted to do and what Abby wanted to do. I purposefully lost the fight many times just hoping that&#39;d be the way out of conflict.<br><br>This moment and a few others in the game really turned Forged Odyssey into an antithesis of TLOU2.<br>

Spoilers please.

[Legend]

Spoilers please.

lol that's why I used spoiler tags!

The part outside of them was presented as a semi joke, although I edited it to be a more obvious joke.

Yes. Even for Sony who is by far the best in terms of giving us plenty of time. Plus, they pretty much always let us Tweet the embargo when we get the code, it's no big secret.

That's great to hear.

Lots of interviews with Hermen Hulst this morning:

　Of course, there is also the sharing of technology, for example, there are several studios using Guerrilla Games' Decima engine (the game engine used for Horizon Zero Dawn , Death Stranding, etc.). We also place importance on improving our technology, and we share that idea among the studios.

Famitsu

Traditional PlayStation fans shouldn't fret. The blockbuster single-player narrative games Sony regularly wins awards for aren't going away.

Many of Sony's top developers like making them and will continue to do so, the studio chief says.
"Some of our biggest titles in the single player narrative-driven space are also our most profitable titles."

Axios

Hermen mentions:
Live Service titles should be day and date for PC/PS5.
Single player should be on PC at least a year after PS5.

wow so they really are doing a waitlist for people signing up to Playstation Stars.  And you can be on it for up to 2 months.  Cmon Sony. Like really

Really?
What's so good about it anyway? I literally know nothing about it.

Suppose to just be a rewards thing where you can earn digital collectibles.  And then PS Plus members earn points on eligible purchases and then use those points for rare collectibles or PSN wallet funds.

Free to sign up. But its odd it has a waitlist for just a rewards system.

Aside from some of the leaked/spoken about items i.e., HD2 trailer, FFXVI trailer in October, the fact that Hulst had a random spattering of interviews yesterday, specifically about their direction, indicates that a Showcase should be coming soon. Otherwise why do it, especially with the topics covered; live-service, PC port strategy, big focus on SP still etc. You'd want all that semi-fresh in the mind to provide context on what you are about to show - likely one or two of these live-service titles with day 1 on PC, more PC port announcements and so forth.

At least thats my hopium take-away from those interviews out of the blue.

It does seem very odd to me that there was a pile of interviews dropped.
