Couldn't have said it better, I know Disney usually don't make great movies anymore but I still thought they were above making a generic YA fantasy Narnia knockoff. It just gives me straight to DVD vibes.

I'm sure it will make a gazillion dollars regardless. Kids eat this stuff up.

Yeah, I'm optimistic. The last Puss in Boots movie was great, and this looks pretty good. I just really, really hope they don't make it about about the children like Shrek 4. I want a good story with Shrek/Fiona/Donkey that doesn't involve them learning to accept and love their weird children or something.

Note that this is based on the original novel, it's not actually affiliated with the Ghibli movie.

I saw this one coming, sadly. Xbox announced they're laying off people, and while I like Compulsion Games it's predictable that they're getting the boot.

They made 3 games in the last 13 years and none of them have been big hits.

2013: Contrast (mediocre reviews)

2018: We Happy Few (messy development, mediocre reviews)

2025: South of Midnight (decent reviews, reportedly underperformed)

Not much new or detailed info in case you're thinking of browsing the article as a developer, sadly. W4 games is also technically part of Godot but this interview isn't actually asking the developers working on the engine or the Godot Foundation itself. W4 is the company porting Godot to consoles and offering professional support.

Console exclusive as in they're not putting it on PS5/Switch 2

400 million is INSANE. Gears of War is a fairly known franchise but it's not nearly popular enough to justify such a huge budget, especially when it's a console exclusive. Battlefield 6 reportedly targeted a $400 million budget, but that's battlefield. Microsoft has to be one of the worst managed companies in the world to keep running Xbox to the ground like this.

"But sir, Shiv is pretty bad right now"

"NERF. SHIV."

The Oblivion remaster is great. If you can get past the terrible performance, it's very immersive and feels like Skyrim with a smaller world and more fun quests. The DLC included was also great.

100% the game and am now going for all achievements, some of them are really hard! Currently doing "below zero" where you need to finish the game at -1%, AKA you need to pick up basically nothing and beat the game without doing any side content. No kears, no trinkets, not even health roses after beating a boss.
