I guess I need to play more Remedy games. Have only played the first Alan Wake. I own the sequel and Control but have yet to start either of them. With the sequel to Control on the horizon I need to get my butt in gear.

Why even announce now? Odd.
Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

Can I just have the Leon game and skip the spooky Grace sections...
Resident Evil Requiem's Leon and Grace will have differing gameplay like "jumping into a cold bath after a hot sauna"

Show Fable gameplay. Starting to worry me that this game has literally shown nothing in that regard and we have seen it like 3 times already.
Microsoft has confirmed plans for a significant Xbox Developer Direct showcase in January 2026 after a relatively quiet The Game Awards. https://bit.ly/4ptLkJ3

Yo. This could be my shit. I have very fond memories of Podracer on the 64.
Galactic Racer is a runs-based racing game set in the lawless Outer Rim region of the Star Wars universe.

Yes. Also a great reminder that everything is inspired from something else.
Everyone needs to listen to Gustav Holst's "The Planets", not for hoity-toity nerd reasons, but because every epic sci-fi movie OST for the past century has been directly lifting shit from this one specific collection of pieces, and you deserve to hear your favourite motif in its native environment.

The Game Awards is a bloated, grotesque commercial masquerading as an award show.
A year from now you'll remember maybe 3 of the dozens of games that burned millions upon millions of dollars to be glossed over at a "prestige" commercial montage.
I sincerely hope it dies like E3.
Buy indie games.

So glad we reopened the government for this…

Americans now believe it takes an average of $839,000 to be “financially comfortable.”
They also believe it takes $2.3 million to be considered wealthy. That’s a 21% rise since 2021.

Just like in film an artist is much more creative when they have less to work with. Bigger budgets do not equate to better quality. Most AAA games these days are soulless commodities.
'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' budget was less than $10M.
"It borrowed an old formula for role-playing games, with beautifully rendered levels that are essentially large corridors and characters who are transported to a battle arena when they collide with enemies."

Pathetic and unprecedented corporate cuck energy here
Not surprised, of course. But still. Steal from the creators who made your company what it is at a large enough scale, and you reward the thieves with wealth the likes of which none of us will ever see.
