    EB has been dying a slow death for a while. However, as dwwaino said, they do have Zing, which is basically what they make money from these days. As has been known for a while, EB don't make money from new sales (they do, but not "profit" like they want) and the second hand market is where they...

    PS5 God of War: Ragnarok - NO Spoilers

    It's pretty incredible. It's sort of a cut down Hades, if I had to liken it to anything. Each run takes about 30 mins and there's a surprising chunk of story flowing through. The fact that it's free and could easily be a standalone that cost at least $15-$20 but behaves almost like a full...

    XBX Starfield

    I know someone will just be like "meh it's only $50" or "I spend that much on 3 pints at the pub, so why not on a video game" but $50 to play it 5 days early just seems like an insane rip when you can not pay that and just wait a bit more and still play the game anyway. Also means you pocket...

    Multiplat AFL 23 - Part 2 (19/03/24 PATCH: seems playable?)

    There's always consideration to creating more depth and systems. A lot of what has been discussed around improving or altering things has been discussed internally as is (prior to those discussions coming up) - which is always cool to see. If your ideas align with the greater public, you tend to...

    Multiplat AFL 23 - Part 2 (19/03/24 PATCH: seems playable?)

    I get there's a certain rhetoric that you're going for when making these statements but to think these things weren't taken into consideration during development is actually a bit laughable. Of course these sorts of things are looked at, but you make a concerted decision when doing so to make...

    Multiplat AFL 23 - Part 2 (19/03/24 PATCH: seems playable?)

    It cannot be stated enough that altering likenesses has no effect on any other portion of the game being altered, added to or changed. An artist cannot do the things a programmer can do, and a programmer cannot do the things an artist can do. Adding, changing or altering likenesses is a simple...

    The lighting is pretty damn good, which I think compensates for a lot of anything else being average. The environment/props to me look like they've been scanned in, rather than individually textured. Which I think is why some are flatter, repetitive or missing detail in some areas. The gun...

    Multiplat AFL 23 - PS/Steam Releasing May 4, Xbox TBC

    Just to use this as a starting point and final point. Ratings are literally not close to final, take that as gospel. I've got near final ratings that have players swapped 50 places in a list (up and down). The ratings in the build were some of the earliest translations from CD that haven't been...

    TV/Film The Last of Us - HBO TV Show

    Welp, it's all over. :( Definitely felt a touch short, this ep, coming in at only 45 mins. Could've probably given a bit longer to some more moments. The ones we got were damn good, the expansion of why Ellie is immune, the moments with Ellie and Joel ("time heals all wounds"..."it wasn't...

    TV/Film The Last of Us - HBO TV Show

    That'd be all well and good, except that the first thing you said after the episode was "I fast forwarded the kissing scenes" (which I absolutely have no idea how you do that anyway - are you sitting there with remote in hand waiting for any and all kissing scenes to skip the whole 1 extra...

    TV/Film The Last of Us - HBO TV Show

    Such a ridiculously strong episode. I was VERY worried about the David actor, never seen him before in anything and was pretty hesitant that he'd be able to get across what Nolan North could in the game. But he was incredible, playing both sides so well, those last few moments...holy s**t...

    "Build your favourite AFL or AFLW club into a footballing powerhouse in the Management Career mode, overseeing drafting and player development, you’ll be in full control of your team’s path to the silverware." Is everyone missing this? Should I bold it?

    PlayStation VR

    Got mine today, booted it up and the setup is so damn cool. The eye tracking stuff is insanely accurate too, even knowing when you blink. Horizon is incredible, looks gorgeous, plays really well. I tried a couple of demo's. Star Wars was ok, bit boring. RE Village was rough, the weapon stuff...

    TV/Film The Last of Us - HBO TV Show

    As more episodes come out, episode 3 being so different to the game really does make a hell of a lot of sense. The entire through line of the series has been so much more about the story of love, and it's effect, impact and decisions on the world. There is an absolute deliberate decision to...

    TV/Film The Last of Us - HBO TV Show

    Such a good episode, the growing relationship between Ellie and Joel is so perfectly done. I was so anticipating the scene between the two of them in the house and they absolutely nailed it, Bella is absolutely incredible. The two nods to future seasons with Dina and Shimmer were nice to see...

    PlayStation VR

    Yes and no. I think technically speaking you'd expect a VR experience to convert relatively simply. That being said, hopefully there are some 'compatibility patches' that more recent titles can apply to upgrade them in terms of games that can be used. It definitely cuts off a large chunk of...

    TV/Film The Last of Us - HBO TV Show

    My guess would be that they won't hard split the 2nd and 3rd seasons like that. It would mean you go almost an entire season without certain characters, which I don't think will feel right. If I had to guess, Also I feel there's plenty of 'off brand' stories that can be added for a few...

    The Day Before (The Last of Us meets The Division)

    They don't state "knowing" it was available, only that it was, which you can clearly just look up the date at which it was registered. In other words, they had no idea what they were doing. Surely now you just swap out the name and register that prior. Watching the vids on the volunteer stuff...

    TV/Film The Last of Us - HBO TV Show

    I really liked how they've changed how the infected work, going with the 'connection' means that Joel and Ellie will be less inclined to kill them and thus will lower the general kill count in the show as is (ie not gamifying it). I thought it was a pretty subtle but clever move to explain away...

    TV/Film The Last of Us - HBO TV Show

    It's actually surreal to see a series like this. Nothing on the video game to media transfer has ever been as faithful as this product will inevitably be. Obviously there's departures here and there, but this is sticking to the source so hard, but it absolutely can because the game is just...

    Multiplat High on Life

    Finished this today. Took me about 12.5 hours all up. Definitely one that if you like Rick & Morty, you'll like this. Absolutely on the same level of humour, some jokes don't always hit, but they fly off so often and much that it doesn't really matter. Gameplay wise it's very decent, the...

    Technology has progressed immensely in the past 7 years, since RLL3 (even more so when you look at when that game was in development). Decisions were made then, that don't need to be made now. Indeed, Big Ant own all the photogrammetry equipment and have been able to take it all around the...
