Italian reviewer: "Balatro's dev sent an email to every rieviewer to ask for his game to be candidated for GOTY Awards"

Twitch clip [ITALIAN LANGUAGE]

I'll translate it to you

  • A: You don't agree with Balatro's nomination?
  • B: I don't agree at all!
  • A: You know? The game didn't catch me as much as I expected
  • B: I think that it has been a pathetic nomination. Do you know why it has been nominated?
  • A: Why?
  • B: Because Balatro's author sent an email to every juryman of TGA saying: "Please make my dream of nominating my game come true"
  • A: I can't believe it
  • B: It's true, i got the email and i'm not the one designated for the jury (of the site where he works in)

Tokyo Stock Exchange issues alert about Sony acquisition of Kadokawa being “unclear information”

In response to yesterday's report:

https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1gure0q/reuters_sony_group_corporation_in_talks_to/

The Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) has issued an alert to investors regarding Sony Group’s reportedly ongoing acquisition talks with Kadokawa. The reason given for the alert is: “Unclear information regarding acquisition has arisen.” 

News that Sony is trying to buy FromSoftware’s parent company Kadokawa broke on November 19, with Reuters reporting that a deal could be made within weeks. This has, unsurprisingly, had a big impact on the market, with Kadokawa’s shares skyrocketing yesterday and today, and Bandai Namco’s stock price taking a significant dive. It appears movements caused by the rumor were big enough to prompt a warning from the TSE. 

The TSE puts out such alerts when rumors, leaks and other forms of unclear information deemed likely to have material impact on investment decisions become public. The last such alert was issued in June this year, when reports of Japan’s digital comics platform Infocom being bought by the US’s Blackstone surfaced.

https://ssl4.eir-parts.net/doc/9468/ir_material7/240956/00.pdf

There are some articles on the acquisition of KADOKAWA Corporation (hereinafter "the Company") by

Sony Group Inc. However, this information is not announced by the Company. The Company has received an initial letter of intent to acquire the Company's shares, but no decision has been made at this time. If there are any facts that should be announced in the future, we will make an announcement in a timely and appropriate manner.

Alleged information on Switch 2's initial shipment size

Source: https://famiboards.com/threads/nintendo-switch-2-speculation-thread-st-this-is-furukawa-president-of-nintendo.7757/page-2121#post-1422179

It's the same user from this previous rumor: https://old.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/1g7e4ck/famiboards_user_posts_sketch_of_nintendo_switch_2/

The message is:

VGhlIGluaXRpYWwgc3RvY2sgcXVhbnRpdHkgaGFzIGJlZW4gZmluYWxpemVkLCBhbmQgdGhlIGZhY3Rvcnkgd2lsbCBwbGFuIHByb2R1Y3Rpb24gYWNjb3JkaW5nbHkuIEkgY2FuJ3QgZGlzY2xvc2UgdGhlIGV4YWN0IG51bWJlciwgYnV0IGZvciB0aGUgVS5TLiBtYXJrZXQgYWxvbmUsIGl0J3Mgcm91Z2hseSAyLjUgdGltZXMgdGhlIHZvbHVtZSBmcm9tIE1hcmNoIDIwMTcu

Decoded from Base64 it reads:

"The initial stock quantity has been finalized, and the factory will plan production accordingly. I can't disclose the exact number, but for the U.S. market alone, it's roughly 2.5 times the volume from March 2017."

Some facts about this hypothetical launch shipment for people worried about finding a Switch 2 at launch:

Switch's initial shipment worldwide was 2.74m consoles (March 3rd - March 31st). Roughly 2.5x the volume worldwide would translate to an initial shipment in the range of 6.5m-7m consoles for its launch period (4 weeks).

The biggest console launch of all time was PS5. Sony never shared a precise figure but we know it was slighly more than PS4's previous record of 2.1m consoles shipped in 2 weeks.

So if this is true it should be a massive launch.

4chan post on the early developement of Elder Scrolls VI

https://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/695013738/elder-scrolls-vi

Don't take all of this conclusively. Everything is still early, and VERY early in development, and up in the air and could change by release. Bethesda deliberately aren't using any design documents for this title while developing it, could change in the future.

I'll stick around for a bit to answer some questions. I'm still not used to using this website. Trolls or racists will be ignored.

Todd Howard as game director

Inon Zur composing for the game's soundtrack (Starfield, Fallout 4 & 76)

development title of this game is 'Highfell'

XBOX and PC exclusive, with talks to bringing it to playstation a few years after release

Currently in pre-alpha, Starfield team is significantly smaller with most of Bethesda moving onto this project

Overhauled creation engine again

Strong crunch culture currently

Game itself:

Two provinces for the first time in an TES game which is this title's 'gimmick' as the people in the team call it. Map looks like the image in this post more or less.

Title's second gimmick is the focus on seafaring/pirate gameplay and procedural generation content, with a ship builder and procedurally generated islands and dungeons when using the ship at sea.

Settlement system from Fallout 4 returns, allowing you to run your own village or settlement as a lordly ruler type

Cities plan on being large, but so far they're mostly all Solitude/Whiterun size as of now and don't have loading screens to enter. Planned to have around 12-13 cities.

Bethesda trying to address how to reduce as many loading screens in the game after Starfield complaints

Progression is more simplified, with Bethesda wanting "less numbers and menus, more gameplay" in leveling. There are no classes or signs anymore. You acquire perks through reading books. Learning spell books have a mini game tied to them based on magic skill. You get stronger through gameplay (health increases if you survive damage, stamina if you sprint alot, magicka if you use magic alot, etc)

New leaked look at the upcoming stages based on Primal & Over the Garden Wall for MultiVersus, plus new coding implies Fionna (Fionna & Cake) was being worked on at some point

https://x.com/notausilmv/status/1858979248847155522?s=46

https://x.com/notausilmv/status/1858977032434331916?s=46

https://x.com/notausilmv/status/1858976782671901147?s=46

The stages appear to be called “Primordial Lands,” and “Riverboat.” The Fionna thing is very heavily implied to be scrapped data, as her name is found amongst the “Banned Asset Names,” listings, meaning at some point they were worked on but that they weren’t being pushed to be worked on anymore.

EDIT:

Here’s also some new skins for Reindog & Wonder Woman. Not sure if the Wonder Woman one is referencing anything in particular, but given her gear, maybe it’s a lifeguard and hinting at Aquaman for S5…?

[Tom Henderson] EXCLUSIVE: Battlefield 6 is Undergoing Franchise's Biggest Playtests Ever to Prevent Another Disastrous Launch

https://insider-gaming.com/battlefield-6-playtests/

Of course, it’s not uncommon for games to have playtests during development. Almost every game has them at one point or another, but this time around, things are a lot different.

Sources say that playtests with external players are happening much more frequently than in past installments, and the amount of data and feedback collected is the most the franchise has seen in its history. From small feedback sessions to large-scale player tests, Battlefield is now taking the much-needed “player first” approach. It’s an approach that we’ll see continued to be played out coming to the start of the year, too, as it’s understood that EA and its studios have been eying up the return of the Battlefield Community Test Environment, but to what scale that’s incorporated at this time is unclear.

All in all, Battlefield seems to be trying to mend the mistakes it’s made, and with a return to a modern military shooter with destruction, four classes, and 64-player battles, EA could have a win on its hands. That being said, we’re still a year-ish from release and things can change, but so far at least, Battlefield could be back.

Sony's PS6 will use AMD's UDNA GPU architecture and ZEN5 or ZEN6 for CPU. Sony's upcoming handheld will also use AMD hardware. Microsoft is deciding between Qualcomm and AMD for their upcoming handheld

EDIT: I meant ZEN4 or ZEN5 in the title, not ZEN5 or ZEN6, apologies

zhangzhonghao has been pretty reliable in the past, and has previously leaked legitimate roadmaps

link to his post: https://www.chiphell.com/thread-2652187-1-1.html

  • No more RDNA5 codename, after RDNA4 it's UDNA.
  • MI400 and RX9000 using the same UDNA, architecture using GCN-like ALU design.
  • UDNA Gaming GPU tentative plan 26 Q2 mass production
  • Sony's PS6 will be using UDNA, the CPU has not yet been determined whether it's ZEN4 or ZEN5
  • Sony's handhelds will also use AMD hardware
  • Microsoft's handhelds I heard that they will choose between Qualcomm and AMD? I don't know about this the above information comes from the supply chain, I'm not sure about the specs and performance.

Back 4 Blood 2 could be set in California

The plot of Back 4 Blood 2 seems to be most likely set in California, as this was revealed last year by Turtle Rock Studios itself.

https://x.com/TurtleRock/status/1705265803128434755

A few days ago you talked here about Back 4 Blood 2, so you can more or less get an idea that the sequel will be in California.
