Insomniac have supposedly suffered a Ransomware attack, with a load of personal info taken and some stuff on Wolverine

The perpetrators are giving a week to be paid ($2m at the minute) or everything will get leaked

Sony investigating Insomniac hack which reportedly leaked Wolverine files and employees' personal data

A ransomware group named Rhysida has claimed it hacked Marvel's Spider-Man 2 developer Insomniac Games, and posted file…

These situations are just awful – no winning move. Feel sorry for Insomniac and their employees.

Wrap up for 2023. Only surprise was that I spent more time with Jedi Survivor than AC6, though it was 76 to 73 hours.

"Most of the time, especially in the past, PlayStation was the big seller. PlayStation was the console to have, it sold more than any other console for the most part, everybody is playing on PlayStation

"So what the developer would do is they would focus all their energy on making sure the PlayStation port and the PlayStation game worked really well. Then they would kind of port of to the Xbox--usually they'd do it at the same time. When I was working over on GTA 5, for instance, we were concentrating on the PS3 and the Xbox at the time. But we where mainly pushing the PS3 to the limit, because the PS3 was kind of better hardware at the time to use memory and different things.

"And so we put all our energy into that, optimizing it the best we can for that console. Then we kind of port that version to the Xbox simultaneously, we're working on both versions and testing them. The PC version is kind of the version that's in the background, that's running the two versions and building them.

"There's always a PC version of the game, but it's not quite polished. It's just kind of feeding the other games and making them work.

"When you want to port the game...let's say you got the game looking really good on PlayStation, it's playing really good, it has good FPS, very few bugs. And it's ready, you release to public. Well now, you can start focusing on the PC port.

Nice, D. Not surprised to see your #3: I remember you loving ACVI! Here I am for 2023:

I've been wanting to play that FF game for along time. Team Ninja developed the combat and I'm a huge fan of almost all their games as far as combat goes.

This is a good month. Prodeus is an amazing boomer shooter if that’s your kind of thing. Highly recommend that one. Moonscars looks interesting. Tinykin is basically third party Pikmin and I’ve heard good things. Gigabash is an awesome monster brawl game and now it has Godzilla and Ultraman DLC. Strangers of Paradise is actually really fun despite the mid reviews it got.

Moonscars was outstanding; strongly recommend. Not too much for me this batch, sadly.

Will check out Prodeus; never heard of it. Thanks.

Sir, Grime was an absolute blast of a MV. Highly recommend it. Beautiful game as well.

You’ll have a good time. It has great reviews so I’m not the only one praising it

Team Ninja is awesome.

Sir, Grime was an absolute blast of a MV. Highly recommend it. Beautiful game as well.

Appreciate the vouch. Will download. Need a new journey after Lords of the Fallen Platinum, which I hope to wrap this week. An MV sounds perfect. Like method, I prefer to play conflicting genres back to back and never two of the same.

 

[Zazen]

Team Ninja is awesome.

Yes they’re. I need to get back to Wo Long and finish up that third DLC that released yesterday. Can’t wait to preorder rise of the ronin tomorrow as well

Wrap up for 2023. Only surprise was that I spent more time with Jedi Survivor than AC6, though it was 76 to 73 hours.

Nice my top 3 played games were 1. FFXVI -89 hours 2. Wo Long 77 and 3. Lies of P 65. Then most of my other stuff drops into 30 hours or less. Played a bunch of different stuff this year

 

[Zazen]

Guys don’t sleep on the Valhalla DLC for Ragnarok. Only put an hour in and already smiled at 3 different parts. There’s some great surprises and there’s quite a bit more here than I expected. Also forgot just how good the combat is in this game

The one thing that has been annoying me is the price of PS Plus. You can't find any discounts anymore and I am going to be bitching about this incessantly. $80 for PS Essential a bit steep IMO.

I was so accustomed and happy to be paying $30-36 so the sharp increase is really irking me.

Yep mine renews in March. I've already turned off auto renew. I'll probably sign back up but I'll wait until more games build up again and then hop back onto the service. By that point it will be cheaper.
