As part of a strategic shift, Microsoft is bringing the sci-fi game Halo to the Sony PlayStation. “Our biggest competition isn’t another console,” an Xbox executive said, adding, “We are competing more and more with everything from TikTok to movies.” https://t.co/A8K1n0qWY9

Eternal Strands (PC, PS5, Xbox - w/ Game Pass) is a great, smartly made third-person fantasy action game full of fun systems to tinker with

From my review, here's creative director Mike Laidlaw describing to me how they handle fire spells. So good!

NEW: 2020's Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War cost $700 million to develop across its "lifecycle" (+ marketing)

I found that and budgets for other CoDs buried in a new court filing

People talk about soaring dev costs. These are the highest ever disclosed

@rcsaxe Targi, Jaipur, Imhotep: The Duel and Battle Line are great two-player games. Castles of Burgundy and Azul play extremely well with two. Race for the Galaxy might scratch a card-game itch.

I interviewed @Neil_Druckmann on his first new story in nearly 15 years — what to expect from Intergalactic and a return to Naughty Dog's action-adventure roots ... 🧵

[Jason Bailey @_jasonbailey_]

Druckmann said Intergalactic, which has been in development for four years, was a return to
@Naughty_Dog’s roots in the action-adventure genre that helped build the studio’s reputation with franchises like Crash Bandicoot. 3/3

@Neil_Druckmann, known for his work on The Last of Us, spoke with @nytimes about his next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which follows a bounty hunter in an alternative universe where space travel has significantly advanced by 1986. 1/3

[Jason Bailey @_jasonbailey_]

The story, which takes inspiration from classic anime like "Akira" and "Cowboy Bebop," centers on a fictitious religion and “what happens when you put your faith in different institutions,” Druckmann said. 2/3

All of Derrick Henry's 10,000 rushing yards came after I wrote this speculative nonfiction in 2015. (LeSean McCoy also reached the threshold.)
