Didn't support it on Kickstarter, but I recall seeing it and reading about it last year (I might have mentioned it somewhere on here? EDIT: Found it). Really glad to hear that it's got a publisher and is coming to Switch! If they can get this out a few months before this year's Pokémon game (maybe in the summer?) then I could see it performing really well, so fingers crossed for their development Here's the (nearly one year old!) trailer for the game:

The complete version of the recreation of P.T. in Dreams:

So you don't think they'll be trying their hands at a 2D Metroidvania Roguelike with Souls elements which makes you feel like Spider-Man? Well, I guess this is getting a 7.9 from IGN... I kid, I think you're bang on the money @drahkon interested to see what Respawn come up with, they've got a big end to the year coming!

EA revealed during their conference call today that they expect the game to have sold between five and six million units by the end of the fiscal year (i.e. by March 31st, so in a bit over six weeks). I'm not overwhelmingly convinced that it will get there, to be honest. Factors like this being a new IP, having a poorly received VIP and public demo (I don't recall either Battlefront or Battlefront II having such a poor reception for their demos), etc., just seem to be slowly racking up against them.

EA revealed during their conference call today that a new premium (i.e. paid for) Titanfall game is coming later this year, which will be a twist on the franchise. So maybe the Titans will be driving the pilots this time around? Or maybe a Battle Roy-- Oh. Right.

Yep, though I’m a little worried for her that her only company is Tony. It’s been a while since he’s been stranded with only some scraps...

And Captain Marvel’s still lookin’ good Curious to see if we’ll see a Far From Home TV Spot from Sony at this rate... ... Narrator: We didn’t.

9 words. 30 seconds. All new footage. Awesome TV Spot

Coming June 4th 2019 It’s worth noting that the game will not be receiving an English dub. From IGN:

He said that he’s not crying tears of joy, so they’re probably tears of despair. His dedication to continue playing a game that he’s clearly not enjoying is almost unnerving.

So, uh...to no-one’s real surprise, Level 5 has done a great job of making this game look spectacular. Kind of envious as a Pokémon fan, but hey, hopefully Game Freak will surprise us and hopefully we’ll end up with something not too dissimilar to this. Hopefully.

The game has just been given an ESRB rating, so maybe a release date soon?

Yeah, for sure. It would certainly help with the transition between generations on the consumers’ end. I think that the healthy competition which Xbox has brought to the table thanks to its backwards compatibility this generation does mean that PlayStation can’t just rest on their laurels when it comes to BC with the PS5, but I agree with you that it might not take the same form as it has with Xbox (i.e. true BC), because while it’s certainly a nice thing to have, I don’t think that it’s necessarily going to be a system-selling feature when PlayStation is currently firing on all cylinders when it comes to console exclusive game development, be it third or first party.

So, that’s a wrap on BB-8 for Episode IX... Principal photography should be completed by the middle of the month, so I think we can expect a title announcement in the coming weeks. We probably won’t be getting a trailer until mid-April at Star Wars Celebration, as it lines up far too perfectly with the release of Avengers: Endgame (typically trailers are released within the two week window prior to a film which they are aiming to be attached to). Any thoughts on a possible title for the film? I’ve been backing A New Order: it harkens back to A New Hope, but is also ambiguous in a way that both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi brought to the table.

Just realised that it’s been two years since the Switch’s awesome Super Bowl LI commercial: It really did such a great job of putting the Switch across to a more general audience. It’s got me wondering...could we maybe see a similar commercial for the Switch again this weekend, seeing as Nintendo have lowered their sales forecast for this fiscal year? Or could we get something for a game, perhaps? As neat as the Pokémon 20th Anniversary Super Bowl commercial back in 2016 was, it wasn’t cheap for what was essentially a $5 million reminder that Pokémon existed. There are going to be TV spots for many of the most anticipated films coming this year (probably a Detective Pikachu one, too?), sure, but I do feel like a first look at Gen 8 here could overshadow everything else. It’s very, very unlikely, but just thought I’d put it out there, seeing as Pokémon has had some pretty quirky marketing campaigns...

You mean Garfield, right?

Another day, another report (this time from HobbyConsolas, in Spain) about how the PS5 might have backwards compatibility for PS, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games — though this time, it’s based on a patent by Sony Japan.

English voice recording is “70% - 80% done”.

Yep. The Hollywood Reporter are reporting that it will serve a relaunch, as opposed to a sequel, with a new cast and new direction: I also forgot to mention that it’s slated for August 2021. Can’t wait for The The Suicide Squad in 2024...

So...Bo Peep is Rey now Also, recording has wrapped. And finally, we’ll get our next look at the film after this weekend’s Super Bowl:
