Still going to be very difficult for many out there.
That being said I think those that REALLY want a PS5 should be able to snag one at this point. It's true it's not as easy as it used to be (just walking into your local Wal-mart and picking one up off the shelf.) but the PS5 drops online have become more frequent over the last few months.
Any out there still having a hard time finding one? Also did you manage to get the Disc or digital version?
I'm not expecting it to be a better film than Broly (might very well be my favorite.) but I'm still super excited to see where the story takes everyone.
It will be interesting to see how they handle the time skip aspect and how much progress characters have made.
I really hope the people behind E3 are truly planning on bringing it back in 2023 but with such a drastic decision to forego this year's festivities a part of me is almost expecting that E3 may never come back.
That's really a shame when you think about it.
I know there are a lot out there as of late who say things like "Who needs E3 anymore" or "With all these new developer streams there really is no point" but there is something to be said about the spectacle and comradery that an event like this generates for our community.
It always seemed to bring all of us together to celebrate the thing we all love; videogames.
While many of these developer streams are good they just don't bring the same kind of excitement or hype for upcoming games that E3 used to. I understand that financially it makes more sense for these companies to do streams and there are a lot of other factors that go into an event like this but I can't help but feel that IF this is the end of E3 then it is actually doing a disservice to the industry rather than something helping us move forward.
Seems like there are going to be a lot of deals under scrutiny in the gaming world in the near future. Most likely nothing will prevent these companies from sealing the deal on these partnerships either.
It looks like this gen is going to be an all-out exclusivity war between the Big 3 (mostly Sony and Microsoft.).
Expect to see more mergers and acquisitions over the next few months as both sides try to win over gamers with developers willing to make exclusive content for their console.
I keep saying it but I think we are in for another PS3 vs 360 era in gaming. Hey, that's not a bad thing at all in my books as that time was one of the best in terms of gaming content in decades.
I know the "powers that be" behind E3 have stated that while they are cancelling this year's festivities they are committed and planning on bring something new and exciting in 2023 (in regards to E3.) but if they are not careful E3 might be done.
With developers deciding to go their own route and the team behind E3 deciding to miss this years event it may have just given these studios the green light and justification they need to never look back.
Wait... so you're telling me that when you don't force people to stay home and close everything down that they actually spend other parts of their day doing things?
Went to go see it over the weekend with the Ninja clan and they thoroughly enjoyed it.
It was a fun movie that had everything in it that a great family/kids movie should.
It deserves every bit of praise it is getting. It's also nice to just see a family movie that doesn't have questionable content in it or a slew of sociological/political agendas strewn about.
Wouldn't mind seeing it again and it will be a first day buy in my Ninja household when it releases out of movie theaters.
I pray this isn't the end for E3 but just looking at the last few years I couldn't blame anyone for thinking this was its end.
Nintendo pulling out, Sony pulling out, other 3rd party developers deciding to skip it completely... and then there was covid.
It seems like E3 has been plagued with bad news after bad news on an almost continuous basis over the last 5 years.
The worst part is that E3 is in many ways our industry's Superbowl. A time out of the year where we all gather to see all the new and exciting projects our favorite developers are working on. Another staple of E3 over the decades has been the unveiling of new hardware. how many of us remember tuning in to E3 to get our first glimpses of the PS2, or the X box 360?
Memories like these were built in the excitement of this trade show.
I know the people behind the scenes say they are going to focus on bringing a great package for 2023 (or at least so I hear.) but with such a huge blow to the show like this one wonders if they are just paying lip service.
