This. For me, there has to be a Summer and a Fall game. Summer is TLOU2. Fall GOW Ragnarock (Since it will probably be the biggest seller of the year) and Until Dawn in October for spoopy season.

Sony going hard this year. It makes sense since they don't have anything big as far as new PS5 games. They need to make up that revenue somehow.
Wouldn't surprise me if they manage to push out Gravity Rush Remasters, Ragnarok and TLOU2 in the 2nd half of this year.
Speaking of PS5 it really is dire for that system. I was searching through gamestop a couple days ago and going through all the PS5 games was really depressing. Its like 1 page of some interesting stuff and then it gets dire for the remaining of the search. The third party support is pretty much everything. They really lucked out by getting FF16 and FF7Rebirth. Square bailed them out. Without those two it would have been some WiiU ass legacy for the first half of the gen.
They need Wolverine and GTA6 next year.
Ghost of Tsushima 2 would be nice too.

It would be dire if there was actual competition in the console market. There isn't. They're the biggest console brand in the world, Nintendo is never competing since they're only focused on the launch of the successor of their tablet and Microsoft is not competing since they're now putting Xbox games on PlayStation. Sony could go on without launching a 1st party game for PS5 for 2024 and 2025 and they still dominate the console business.
Sony gets away with a lot of shit too. Their fans, and some of the media (not all) will go to bat for them too.
Anyone know if I could use a bluetooth mouse in a room 5-6 meter away through 2 walls?
Am watching videos on my beamer in my bedroom and it is always a pain to stop/start/fullscreen/rewind videos from another room when you don't see the picture

With all these layoffs and inflated dev times/budgets it won't recover during or after next gen either
Mice are not very powerful radio emitters, for obvious reasons. A couple mW at most. That'll cover a few meters. Maybe 10 in very good conditions.
I doubt anyone could know whether that'll work in your case. Depends what's in these walls.
Thx, I have no-name airpods who work at that range (with a distortion every now and then) dunno if they are more powerful than mice or not.Mice are not very powerful radio emitters, for obvious reasons. A couple mW at most. That'll cover a few meters. Maybe 10 in very good conditions.

Doesn't mean much if they receive signal and do not send it. Never used airpods, can you change tracks and such from them? If so they're emitters as well. I suspect Bluetooth requires a handshake anyway, so there is no purely passive BT device. If so that's a very good sign.
They're small portable devices on battery, so I'd expect they'd be roughly as powerful as mice.
Unfortunately I don't find much info about radio power on the mice listings I'm looking at --- e.g. Class 2, Class 3, etc, so that's not easy to verify.
I did some testing with my G502 lightspeed, and I do get roughly 5-6 meters through either a wooden ceiling or 2 very light walls (not sure what path the signal actually comes through), but it dies the moment a large wall is interposed.
Yeah, the airpods can stop/start/forward on their own, away from the receiver/mobile device.
I have not owned wireless mice since the early 2000s, so have no experience with it. I could buy a cheap one and test it, but I don't want to plug/unplug it every time I use my beamer.
If I knew it was no problem using it (which would probably mean to test it) I could get a better model and completely switch from cable to wireless on my PC.
Or is there some other hardware solution that has only the media function of start/stop/rewind/forward/(make fullscreen) I could use?
Kdeconnect enables you to use a phone as a media controller for your PC, among many other things --- I mostly use it for files and clipboard sharing, but I tested that functionality. You can also simply control the mouse pointer with it.
Since it's wifi-based (you need to be on the same local network, e.g. be connected to the same router), range is not an issue.
It's Linux software, but there is a Windows version, apparently --- no idea how well it works under Windows. Presumably it's not the only piece of software that can do this.
I've converted to wireless mice a few years ago; I couldn't go back. The cable did get in the way, sometimes, and I don't miss it.
GSConnect too for GNOME, which is basically KDEConnect.
I started using a wireless mouse a few years ago once Logitech's wireless solution was finally nearly identical with wired. Other manufacturers have caught up now as well.
I'm usually a wired > wireless person, such as with audio, but I don't think you're really sacrificing anything with a mouse, and not having to tug/drag at a cable is pretty nice.
I watch Kung Fu Panda 1-4 in a span of a weekend. I saw the last movie today.
If you have never seen the series before I would suggest giving it a go, they are pretty good movie. I got teary eyed at times.
Also remember about 2 decades ago when video game tie ins to kids movies were a very frequent thing? I actually like some of those game. I had fun playing Shrek 2 for GBA.

Backpack Battles is the only game that has pulled me away from FF7 Rebirth as of late. It's pretty addictive.

I have keys for Call of Juarez 4: Gunslinger and Call of Juarez 3: The Cartel. Anyone wants them? I am not sure if they are used or not. Not going to use Mona to give out something that I am unsure if they are used or not.
Cartel isn't on steam anymore and has value for collectors btw. But if you're giving it I'll add it to my library
Spring Sale around the corner, what am I going to buy and not play for years this time.
FFXVI vs FF7R doesn’t matter too much too me. I am just sat here waiting for a Dawntrail release date.
I know it's usually not any kind of confirmation but I really hope the date that suggested only 3 months of exclusivity for Rebirth ends up being accurate and S-E has a port ready to drop on Steam as soon as the exclusivity runs out like last time. I want to play FFXVI but I'm not in any kind of rush tbh and I'd much rather get Rebirth ASAP, so it would suck to see it get delayed just to space it out from XVI...
not expecting Square to have it ready in time for the 3 months. I think Square begged Sony for another yearly exclusivity window (and thus lots a money) and Sony went all
Why would Square be the ones begging for exclusivity? If this were literally any other S-E game, sure. But this is FFVII. Sony needs it, not the other way around.not expecting Square to have it ready in time for the 3 months. I think Square begged Sony for another yearly exclusivity window (and thus lots a money) and Sony went all
Soon Gabe Newell's team will be in that game.
I think what Mivey is saying is that maybe Square was counting on an exclusivity offer again, assuming it was 1 year, but Sony only "bought" 3 months knowing Square wouldn't have a port ready immediately anyway, meaning they get free exclusivity while Square gets less upfront money alongside the limited PS5-only audience*
* all obviously just pure conjecture.
Given how they are always willing to opt for exclusivity contracts for Final Fantasy franchise in particular, I don't get the impression that Square really believes that their products would make enough money on their own
EDIT:
I wasn't thinking about it that way, but Ascheroth has a good point too. Given how long AAA dev times are, they likely planned to have another year long exclusivity period and not focus on porting to PC any earlier.
Normally, you'd think a publisher of S-E's size would have development for all platforms occurring in parallel and this wouldn't be an issue but... yeah. Normal doesn't really apply here does it.
They said something like "Making Rebirth was only possible because we focused on one platform", so yeah.
Everyone knows when you add a platform you double the work. Need to make another Cloud model, redo all the assets, redo the soundtrack, etc...

I know P3 might be a masterpiece or whatever, but $105 dollars for the game + expansion pass is fucking ludicrous lmao. Buy like 6 humble bundles at that point lol

I'm sad they did this with what is otherwise a great remaster in P3 Reload.
Now I have to wait for it to go on deep discount so I can get the whole experience.

And not available in 3rd party stores, which usually have discounts... :/
Not surprised given how much Atlus whored out P5. They just can't resist squeezing as much money as possible from Persona fans.
