Yes! The team nailed it on all fronts to create a haunting, foreboding atmosphere, and a memorable side quest

Reposting for the evening crowd! I played Pragmata yesterday and enjoyed it!

Tyler Miller @tylermiller2496.bsky.social · 22h

Capcom brought Pragmata to this year's New York Comic-Con, and after getting some hands-on time with it, I'm excited by the potential it's showing! Let's talk about it with my hands-on impressions of the game! #NYCC #Pragmata

The Tale of the Spider-Lily General

What a fantastic side quest in Ghost of Yotei!

Aside from playing Pragmata at NYCC, I also played Onimusha: Way of the Sword and My Hero Academia: All’s Justice.

Both games were plenty of fun and I’m definitely getting them next year, but I was surprised by how fun MHA was! I ended up playing two times, and almost went for a third 😅

This impressions video is different from my usual scripted and highly edited ones, but I hope you all still enjoy it!

New York Comic-Con was, as always, a lot of fun! I saw a lot and got to play a couple games too. Look forward to a video coming tomorrow giving my impressions on one of them!

This is Tron Legacy erasure and I won’t stand for it 😔

Seated for the Marvel TV/Animation panel! This should be fun 😁

Personally hoping for an update on Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Marvel Zombies 🤞🏽

Love this shot of Atsu that I got earlier this week in #GhostOfYotei #PS5

With the current state of game development and how long it takes for these projects to release, being able to do something new is sorely needed, lest we only get one franchise from a team for a decade or longer.

Tyler Miller @tylermiller2496.bsky.social · 2d

People lament how Playstation lets some of its IP just stay in a vault (as do I at times), but honestly, one of their best qualities is not relying on the same IP forever and allowing their teams to put them to bed and make new things.

Current or former Sucker Punch employees!

I'm looking to talk to people about company culture, Ghost of Yotei harassment, and the events that took place last month. I can protect your identity.

It would be immensely helpful for a story I'm working on. My information is signal below.

Two hours? More like 20 minutes. It happens before you go to Olympus, which is the first world in the game.

I see what you’re saying, but they advocate against the idea of such a game everyday with how outspoken they are towards other games/studios that have black characters or appear to be even slightly political.

Knowing their words are having a tangible effect is something they’ll absolutely celebrate

Tron: Ares quick thoughts!

• The story’s alright
• The performances are good.
• The visuals are good.
• The score is great.

Overall, this doesn’t hit the level of Tron: Legacy, but I still enjoyed it. A sequel is teased, but we’ll see if it happens. Maybe in another 15 years.

I’d say it’s both. Normal people lose in a obvious way. The degenerates feel they’re legitimized and can pressure companies to not make things that involve or center minorities/marginalized groups.

Congratulations Ubisoft!
You've empowered the very people you seek to avoid to keep doing the shit that scared you in the first place.

I understand Ubisoft’s rationale. But given that it’s a stupid ass rationale, I’ve elected to shame them for it.

We shouldn’t be emboldening racists and white supremacists, especially with the art/media we consume. If you give them an inch, they’ll take 10 miles.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke
