I believe last we heard, the Series consoles were being outsold 3 to 1, so that's an improvement considering. Xbox needs to stop screwing around and letting PR get wildly out of control. Every time they get a good pop, they trip and fall on their face.
Whatever year GTAVI launches, it will be later in the year, September or October. I think Rockstar and Take-two put a lot of thought into when the game would be ready, so 2025 seems pretty solid, but nothing is set in stone.
I've been enjoying it. It's not perfect, but it's a nice new direction for Sonic. They've really nailed making the traversal fun. You could just sprint around and have a decent time. I'm glad it turned out well. I do hope they release a patch hopefully fixing all the pop in, but otherwise, it's a fun game.
@stickemup: This is mostly about developers who were contracted to put games on the Stadia and were not given any advanced warning by Google about the shutdown. I get what you're saying, Stadia was basically DOA, but that doesn't necessarily apply to the situation the developers find themselves in.
I think it's interesting that questioning the casting gets racism thrown at you. There are a few reasons the showrunners chose the casting they did. One is obviously so they can get on those awards lists and it's also a trend of modern Hollywood. They have also said they are doing it to please their own activism and that's where people are getting tired. There is a way to work other ethnicities into Lord of the Rings, there is a people that are black in the south lands, but the writers didn't want to work with that, they just make random characters different ethnicities.
There have been fantasy stories with black elves and no one bats an eye, it's because the writers and actors are coming out saying 'We're doing this because that's what we want to do' and throwing source material aside is what got the backlash.
Looks like an interesting shuffle of what is already working pretty well. I was hoping for a more substantial update, but then again why fix what isn't broken.
