- Comment on Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC 5 days ago:
Most recent word was Miyazaki is interested in a remake but wants From to do it themselves. From is always busy enough with new stuff that they don’t have the bandwidth to take it. Sony respects this and so it sits.
Bluepoint pitched a Bloodborne remake, but FromSoftware turned it down, not Sony
Now, a new report by Bloomberg claims that Bluepoint did, in fact, approach FromSoft in early 2025, pitching a remake of the 2015 game. It’s said that “the studio was told that the numbers made sense, but FromSoftware didn’t want it to happen”.
Interestingly, former president of Sony Interactive Entertainment Shuhei Yoshida posited the same this time last year, saying: "Bloodborne is one of the most popular asks on my Twitter/X. And the people wonder why we haven’t really done anything… it should be easy, right?
“Miyazaki-san really, really loved Bloodborne, what he created. So I think he is interested but he’s so successful and he’s so busy, so he cannot do it himself, and he doesn’t want anyone else to touch it.”
- Comment on Should this be the year we finally try voting for other candidates? 1 week ago:
Also vote in every election, not just the big national ones. You’re more likely to find viable third party candidates in smaller local elections. The more local wins a third party gets, the more exposure they get, the more possible it becomes to have a viable third party at the national level.
- Comment on Battle of Wesnoth for the Miyoo Mini Plus - start screen 2 weeks ago:
So cool! I first played Battle for Wesnoth back around 2008. It warms my crotchety old heart to see it still open source, actively developed, and attracting new players in 2026.
- Comment on My feelings on the Super Bowl 4 weeks ago:
I got $500 on “will have an effect”
- Comment on Still have a couple unsmacked gobs, though 1 month ago:
Thank you for muting this image. My feeble psyche could not possibly survive the aural onslaught.
- Comment on FBC: Firebreak Free Weekend + Double XP and Remedy discount on Steam 1 month ago:
I’m willing to accept that I’m just old and blind, but where does it actually say there’s a free weekend? I see plenty about the new mode and 60% off sale.
- Comment on What should the next President of the United States do? 2 months ago:
Sign an EO banning members of Congress and their immediate family from trading in individual stocks. Let them fight it in court and explain why it’s okay for them to engage in inside trading.
- Comment on AGDQ 2026 Schedule 2 months ago:
I don’t think I’ve been more surprised to see a game on a GDQ schedule than Richard Burns Rally. The 20 year old brutally difficult rally sim with a dedicated player base to this day. I can’t wait to see someone actually be good at it live!
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 2 months ago:
Now that’s very interesting and I really hope it works out for both GOG and the consumer. I definitely prefer not having a storefront directly tied to a specific developer or publisher (Steam/Valve included).
- Comment on TeamFourStar - Sailor Moon Abridged 3 months ago:
Oh. My. God. I keep a Plex playlist of the full DBZ abridged downloaded that I have watched too many times. I think I know just enough Sailor Moon to watch this and understand shit. So excited!
- Comment on EA Announces No F1 26 Next Year, F1 25 Will Get a Major Expansion Instead 3 months ago:
2026 is a new regulations year for F1 so the cars are very different, racing rules are different, there’s even an 11th team joining the fray. Yearly sports game expansions instead of whole new games is the obvious choice but for F1 specifically, this seems like the worst possible year to switch?
- Comment on Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic 3 months ago:
Dude it’s a blast. When they came out I played through each Dishonored once slowly, methodically, and non-lethal. Then immediately started over and hauled ass just slaughtering anything that got in my way. Both ways are valid and so much fun!
- Comment on Is it wrong that I want one? 4 months ago:
34% relative humidity. Not great, not terrible.
- Comment on More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC 4 months ago:
It would be nice if more people gave a shit about in depth reporting on the industry but it’s an ever-shrinking niche. I think that’s a problem with any “enthusiast press” though. The game industry is huge and has asinine amounts of cash sloshing around in it though, so maybe we just end up with a bigger gulf between sites regurgitating press releases and sites actually doing reporting?
Most importantly, it’s “press sneak fuck” thank you very much!
- Comment on wax on 4 months ago:
I don’t know what I was expecting exactly but it wasn’t little wax scales coming from their abdomen
- Comment on It's official: EA is going private. 5 months ago:
This is exactly what happened. To the tune of $20 billion.
The EA studio slaughterhouse is about to go into overdrive.
- Comment on This material gets tougher as you break it 6 months ago:
When does it go blonde and spend 4 episodes charging a spirit bomb attack?
- Comment on How does one join a terror group? Like example ISIS , do people go to a secret website sign up and get provided flags, bomb parts, or whatever? Or is it just a person saying what they did was for ISIS 6 months ago:
And they’re probably already on their way to your location based on this post. Convenient!
- Comment on Expedition 33 | Patch 1.4.0 Is Now Live 7 months ago:
Ah shit I was really hoping that was a documentation issue, not an implementation bug. Deep down I knew the truth. Autoplay Dialogue will soothe that pain though. I’m going through my first playthrough and having to manual “Next” all the dialogue is a bummer.
- Comment on Alabaster Dawn (CrossCode sequel) - Demo Release Date Trailer 7 months ago:
I am looking forward to this. It would be nice if their “Demo Release Date Trailer” had a date in it though, instead of just “September.”

Now that’s dedication! Congratulations!

It does do 2.4GHz. There’s a dongle stored in the charging base.

- Comment on Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales 8 months ago:
Nobody is forcing studios or publishers at gunpoint to release on a subscription service.
Except for the hilarious number of studios owned by Microsoft. One would hope Microsoft takes the effect of Game Pass into account when they’re reviewing sales figures and shutting down studios. One would hope…
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 8 months ago:
This is why we have constitutional amendments. It’s been extended a good bit over the last centuries. The tools are there but nobody wants to, or can agree on how to, use them.
- Comment on How D&D Took Over Sports Arenas with Brennan Lee Mulligan [1:27:11] 8 months ago:
Adam and Brennan sound like a good pairing. I’ll have to give this one a listen. I usually go for the podcast version of Factually
- Comment on Least anticipated game in history 9 months ago:
How have you determined that this is AI? The proliferation of actual AI slop is bad enough without people out here claiming everything is slop.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has been announced, but the game has been delayed to 2026 | VGC 10 months ago:
I guess this November is no longer a big red X on every publisher’s release calendar
- Comment on Future of Giant Bomb website in doubt following prominent staff departures 10 months ago:
Giant Bomb deserves more than a thread hanging off the Polygon story post. I don’t think it’s ever looked nearly this dire.
I don’t remember exactly how I stumbled across GB, but I think it came up randomly during TheSpeedGamers Final Fantasy marathon in 2009 (which was the inspiration for the first GDQ marathon in 2010). They weren’t necessarily the first to do the very personality-focused, video heavy, gaming coverage, but they definitely went at it the hardest and with the fewest fucks given about doing anything the “right” way. I’ve spent over 16 years now following the site and the people that have come through it, the Giant Bomb Extended Universe. I couldn’t possibly quantify the impact they’ve had on me over the years. It may not technically be the end but I don’t see a path forward from here.
Just gonna go be sad for a bit and watch the best content GB ever put out. That would be, obviously, Thursday Night Throwdown: Fortune Street (and part 2). <>
