Sony's Jim Ryan Reportedly Said His Goal is to 'Block Your Merger' in Closed Door Meeting with Activision

The CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment reportedly had some choice words during a meeting with Activision.

It has been a ridiculous day for Sony when it comes to new details that have come out about the company's opposition to the Microsoft and Activision Blizzard merger.

First, a new report from The Verge's Tom Warren shared some key pieces of information from documents (PDF download) that were recently submitted to the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)....
 

Review: The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition

An easy purchase for new players but maybe a hard sell for existing owners.

It was not until I reinstalled the original PC release of The Outer Worlds that I was able to really appreciate the improvements made with the release of The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition. Initially, I believed that this looked exactly like the same game that I had played on PC back in late 2019 when it first came out.

"I'm just not seeing what makes this Spacer's Choice Edition worth...

The mod utilizes a variation of the Xash3D FWGS engine along with a custom path traced renderer. So while this is technically...
 

Battlefield 2042's Fourth Season Heads to South Africa

Season 04, Eleventh Hour, takes to the rocky landscapes of South Africa.

We've got some big Battlefield 2042 news to share today as DICE and EA lifted the veil on Season 04: Eleventh Hour. New in Season 04 is a new map, new Specialist, weapons, vehicle, a new 100-tier Battle Pass with a bunch of cosmetics, and more.

We briefly introduced the new Specialist, Camila Blasco, in a post that went up just yesterday. We know that she is an "ambush expert" that excels...

    Elden Ring Players Died Billions of Times

    Elden Ring players died over a billion times more than there are people on Earth right now.

    The world population currently sits at about 7.96 billion people. Elden Ring players died over 9 billion times since the game's release. That is a lot of character deaths, especially since it has been just one year since Elden Ring was released.

    This interesting fact was shared today to celebrate said anniversary from Bandai Namco. Not only did they share that there were 9 billion...

    Mass Layoffs Hit Twitch and Gamur Group

    The Twitch layoffs are just a part of the more than 9,000 positions eliminated from Amazon today.

    On Monday, Amazon announced plans to cut another 9,000 positions from areas including Amazon Web Services (AWS), human resources, advertising, and Twitch. The additional 9,000 layoffs are planned to be completed by the end of April and follow the 18,000 people that have already been laid off from Amazon from December 2022 through January 2023.

    Respawn Opens Third Studio to Keep Apex Legends Going Another 15 Years

    This third studio will be opening in Madison, Wisconsin.

    It seems both Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment plan to keep Apex Legends going for a very, very long time.

    A third Respawn studio is soon to open in Madison, Wisconsin. This third studio will initially focus solely on Apex Legends for the foreseeable future. This studio will be led by industry veteran Ryan Burnett. Burnett has been in game development for about two decades now. He previously worked at Raven...

    Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Story Trailer is Light on Story

    Finally, a story trailer that doesn't just spill the entire can of beans.

    EA and Respawn Entertainment just released a new story focused trailer for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Unlike many other story trailers for games, this one doesn't exactly reveal much of the plot. At least, I don't think it did. It was kept vague enough while showing a bunch of quick scenes.

    Still, if you don't want any spoilers at all, it's best to avoid this trailer.

    New 'COUNTER STRIKE' and 'CS2' Trademarks Filed by Valve

    New trademarks by Valve sure do seem to be hinting at something. But what ever could it be?

    March really started off with a bang for Counter-Strike fans when Nvidia included references to something called Counter-Strike 2. Specifically, the drivers starting with 531.18 included profiles for "Counter-strike 2 (cs2.exe)" and "Counter-strike 2 (csgos2.exe)."

    Since that time, the Counter-Strike community has gone a bit rabid in their desire for a Source...

    A new mode was added to the stellar Disco Elysium today that allows players to create the photo opportunity of their dreams. So long as their dreams are entirely about the content within Disco Elysium.

    If you ever tire of solving dramatic mysteries or reading any of the dense, branching dialogue, you can now fire up Collage Mode. This new mode is a photo mode on steroids. It offers players "full access to characters, environments,...

    Far Cry 5 Receives 60fps Patch on Xbox and PlayStation

    You will need a newer generation console for this, of course.

    In honor of the game's fifth anniversary, Ubisoft rolled out a new 60fps patch for Far Cry 5. This update, out now on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will allow you to run the game at a much higher framerate than what you were used to seeing on consoles.

    This 60fps update doesn't seem to include anything else. Meaning, you won't see any next-gen graphical bells and whistles here. I am reading from some users...

    Redfall Story Trailer

    There's more to Redfall than simply slaying vampires.

    If you thought that Redfall, the upcoming action title from Arkane Austin was purely about slaying vampires, you would be mistaken. Sure, there is a lot of that vampire slaying going on but there's also something a little extra going on. A little something that studios like to call "a story."

    The latest trailer for Redfall shares with us information about the game's plot. That plot that seems to involve a...

  • Poll: What Platform Do you Game on the Most?

    Do you prefer consoles? PC? Maybe mobile is your preferred platform?

    This month's poll is a bit generic if only because I really don't know what to ask right now and this is the easiest thing that came to mind. The question is simple: Which sort of platform do you prefer to play games on?

    Do you like playing on consoles? Do you prefer to play games on PC? What about mobile games? Maybe you prefer to spend most of your time on your phone playing this, that, or the other....
