I 100% forgot about that game... mostly because I don't play it.  But that is a quality title from them.  But if you look at their wiki page back in the late 90's/early 2000's before MS acquired them they were releasing multiple bangers every year.  Then they got relegated to kinect sports and produced garbage for a long time.

correct. 
 

this is a play for the future and what bungle could create in the future not the current. 
 

also for the fanboys it’s a little extra fun that Sony now owns the company that created MS flagship title. 

The potential problem with this and not getting any real marketable IP's is that the talent can leave.  I mean it happened to Microsoft.  Microsoft purchased RARE back in the day... but all the talent left, and RARE hasn't done anything since.

Well the twitter post did it's job.

How many threads do we have on here talking about ads?

I do this often in tower defense type games after all the real goals are accomplished.  Like how far can I get only using a certain type of tower or without upgrading it.

In Madden playing online sometimes I'll restrict myself to a random formation and try to win the game using only that.  

Assasin Creed games I would try things like taking out an entire outpost without being seen.

Maybe we just leave a story alone when it's about dwarves and a grown-ass man who comes across an unconscious teenager in the woods and decides he should put his mouth on hers?

There are times that you just need to move on - and this is a property that really just needs moved on from.  There are a million stories out there - choose a different one.

The very name in the title is Snow White - because the title character is the most beautiful of them all largely because she has snow white skin - which is laughably bad to teach children (or anyone).  Of course they have already announced a latina lead actress for the role.  Then you have the dwarf issues... the consent issues.  For 2022 this story just isn't a good choice.  

By the time this movie comes out it will be a latina woman who meets 7 magical creatures and recovers from the poison on her own cause she don't need no man.  So why bother with the story?

The Rock also tweeted out today that he is going to be staring in a new Video game movie.  He has close ties to MS and Xbox.  Wonder if these things are related.  Gears Movie + New Gears collection of games.

How would GamePass even work on PS5? Just cloud based games?

I think they would install just like xbox.  Of course they would need to be made to work on a PS5... but most of the games already work on xbox and PC and many are already available on PS5 too.  It would be work - but not anything like the PS3 days.  The ports should all be very possible.  But it would probably not be an identical service.  Not every game would be there and not everything would release at the same time.  I doubt the BC games would ever come.  Just like the differences between xbox and pc.

Hard to get much from a title reveal.  Hopefully this is a lot more LOTR and not so much Hobbit.

I really do believe that MS's ultimate goal is platform agnosticism.

Microsoft has repeatedly said as much.  However with the tag of - wherever gamepass is available.  I do think that if PS or Nintendo allowed gamepass to be on their system that MS would be all for it - but it would pretty much dry up sales of games for their hardware.  MS is getting pretty close to checkmate.

Can one of you guys who don't mind unmarked spoilers answer me this about one of the villains in the movie?

Is the female Electro, Francine Frye, in the movie?

Andrew Garfield redemption arc was my favorite part of the movie followed by the fight choreography. I think Jon Watts took some lessons from the Russo brothers on how to do action. I wanted a better look at the front of the new suit at the end, but the colors are really nice. Can't wait to see the Venom in the next movie and hopefully done the right way.

 

This sucks... I always enjoyed her work.  At least her early stuff.  I was kind of shocked reading this, then I found out she was 80.  She was stuck in my mind at the age they started making the movies.

So is this going to be a drumming game... like Donkey Kong Jungle Beat?

o so hard to be Chappelle. Imagine getting handed a $20M+ check for a special and saying this to a child. 

I fully expect to get assaulted here for what I'm about to say - but that article was funny as hell.  

I have a feeling too many here are reading this like it's a drama when it is a comedy.  Him dunking on those students reminds me of the billy madison scene of adam sandler blasting kids in the face with dodge balls.  If you read the whole article it even explains how dave told them all he had been joking, he loved them all, gave them all tickets to his show, gave them all thanksgiving dinner - and has provided lots of money to their school over the years for their education.  Dave takes things to extremes to make points.  That has always been his comedy.

I don’t doubt he got a bigger contract, but I doubt that was his main concern…Being obligated to a franchise for 8-10 years sucks in some respects (especially for younger actors), and I believe he’s already been pretty vocal about having more money than he’ll ever need. He probably looked at Pattinson’s career arc and decided that he needs to get past franchise work quicker than not. I’d bet any amount of money he doesn’t carry the next franchise beyond maybe the first film. 

Pattison just did Batman...

Also there are a ton of examples of actors who move as fast as possible to get out of franchise type of work - then are never heard from again.

This feels a lot like in sports when a coach looks around at other jobs just to get a raise.  I wonder if Holland made all the noise about being done with SM just to get a fatter contract.

I would think Forza Horizon ... either 4 or 5 or both should be in the list.  

I think they have just about perfected the formula for that style of open world racing/collecting type game.  They are going to have a hard time making a #6 in the series because I'm not sure what you would add or change besides a new location.  They probably need to just take 4-5 years off and do other things (fable)

4 was the one with Jet Li and Chris Rock.

I totally forgot about that for a minute.  

I was thinking your were referencing rush hour with Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.  

Maybe its time for a Lethal Weapon/Rush Hour crossover!

Well if they do need to recast Shuri... maybe they can cast Chris Pratt for the role.

I think it is pretty fair to question whether or not there is such a thing as a safe way to aim a working gun at another human being. Traditional gun safety education would say no, and the truth is that similarly most of the time a person thinks a gun is unloaded in a non-movie situation it is indeed unloaded. But sometimes it is. 

I think effects have got cheap enough that they should transition to just completely fake 'movie' guns that don't fire and add in muzzle flashes later.  I can't really see an advantage to using real ones anymore.

Dune is to Star Wars

LOTR is to GOT

Just because two things are in the same genre does not mean they are the same.

That part is easy to put together. This is a movie that, like, Andy and his mom went to watch in theaters. The Buzz Lightyear toy that was hot the summer of the first Toy Story movie is a toy based on that movie.

 

Pixar is just making the Buzz source material real. This would be no different than if Pixar made an actual series called Woody's Roundup that was supposed to be the TV series Woody was based on.

 

It's like Kill Bill being the movie that the characters in the Pulp Fiction world watch.

Yup.  That is the simple version that people should accept to enjoy it.  People are going to get into knots if they try to figure out why xyz was never referenced -  or where does the buzz lightyear cartoon fit in, or why wasn't there a toy of his sidekick etc.  

My guess in regards to the backstory and where this movie fits in the toy story universe... Don't put too much effort in thinking about it.  It will probably be an enjoyable movie.

This card won't be actually for sale - you have to win it.  So pretty much like every other card out there.
