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...

    Diablo 4 is Reportedly Killing GPUs

    If you have an RTX 3080 Ti, you may want to be careful.

    PC Gamer yesterday reported on an issue impacting those with Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards trying to run the now open Diablo 4 beta. Beginning last weekend with the closed beta, owners of the RTX 3080 Ti have taken to the Blizzard forums and Reddit to report that Diablo 4 killed their graphics cards.

    According to what users are reporting, at a random point when playing the Diablo 4 beta, their monitors will go...

    For the 12th(?) time now (excluding separate staggered regional release dates), Resident Evil 4 has been released! This time, it's different. This one isn't just a port of the original Resident Evil 4 on to another platform. This time, it's a full on remake and it. Is. Glorious.

    Elden Ring Update Adds Extremely Subtle Ray Tracing to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series

    The latest patch adds in some graphical eye candy for those that can run it.

    Ray tracing was said to be coming to Elden Ring prior to the game's release. It may be a year after Elden Ring was released, but the promised ray tracing is now here. The new v1.09 patch for Elden Ring adds in ray tracing options for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions of the game. Obviously, there's not going to be any ray tracing features for those playing on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One who downloaded...

    TMNT: The Last Ronin to Show a More Adult Side to the Turtles

    The 2020 comic is being turned into a God of War-like action title.

    What some claim is the "darkest" comic series involving the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is being turned into a video game. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is set to be a third-person action focused adaptation of the 2020 comic series of the same name. Like the comic, this game will be a darker and more mature take on the Turtles.

    Polygon is the first to share this announcement thanks...

    Microsoft Cancelled a PlayStation 5 Version of Redfall

    Arkane's Harvey Smith says a planned PS5 version was scrapped following Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda.

    Redfall is an upcoming cooperative FPS that will have you and up to three additional friends roaming the town of Redfall slaying vampires. Redfall was announced as being exclusive for PC and Xbox platforms, which does make a lot of sense seeing as how the developer, Arkane, is owned by Bethesda and Bethesda is owned by Microsoft.

    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...

    by Shawn Zipay
    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....
