In his Bsky, he posted pictures of Synapse.

For those not in the know, the Tera Leak showed us code names for pokemon games and one of the ones that was found was Project Synapse.

Not much was known about it but files were found that implied it is a multiplayer game.

Also, that is being worked on by Pokemon Works (ILCA + Gamefreak).

So we might be getting an annoucement for this multiplayer focused pokemon game in the upcoming pokemon presents

Website accidentaly posted a review too early:

10/10

• Gorgeous visuals
• Meaningful gameplay improvements over prior games
• Compelling, well-handled narrative themes
• Polished, pitch-perfect performance across all modes

There were a lot of question marks around the game’s performance during the open betas, but I’ve been playing the full release build including the day one patch, and it ran absolutely flawlessly on my launch PS5. There are three visual modes on offer: Fidelity, Balanced, and Performance. And you can set framerate caps independently from your chosen mode to 30, 60, or uncapped. If you want to run Fidelity mode with an uncapped framerate, more power to you. PS5 Pro players will be very happy with this. 40fps caps are also available if you’re connected to a compatible display. I played through most of the game on fidelity mode, but switched to the performance mode in the latter half, and experienced locked 30 and 60 frames respectively.

• Played for 10-11 hours so far, on a base PS5 in quality mode. Extremely old build, can’t even redeem the deluxe outfit codes that came with his disc and none of the delay improvements have been added yet.
• He found all the main and side quests “very interesting” so far, has completed 8 main missions
• You start as Yasuke, no mention or showing of his supposed wife who dies on the ship to Japan yet which was previously reported by j0nathan and Tom Henderson
• After Yasuke’s intro mission, you switch to Naoe but 9 hours in and he can’t switch back to Yasuke yet (assuming the two protagonists haven’t teamed up yet?)
• There’s a huge amount of mocapped cutscenes, important scenes are “very good, almost like a movie” but other NPC interactions are weird where their mouths don’t move
• First thee hours is full of the movie-like mocapped cutscenes
• After the prologue, Naoe plots to kill Nobunaga (head of the Shinbakufu) to avenge her father’s death
• Game has lived up to his hype, “Ghost of Tsushima with an AC feel with better stealth”
• Gameplay complaint is that the dodging and parry mechanic feels way too slow for him
• Game is well polished, in 10-11 hours, no bugs or glitches were encountered expect one cutscene where a guy walked through a wall
• No hair customisation so far but weapon and outfit transmog is there
• Feels nostalgic, reminds him of Revelations
• Said he will upload gameplay footage in 5-6 hours of what people want him to show

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare IV's campaign will follow a structure similar to the original MW trilogy and MW (2019), following a split narrative between Task Force 141 accompanied by SAS, and Demon Dogs accompanied by USMC.

The main antagonists will be Makarov's Inner Circle along with the Russian Federation. There's also some sort of side plot involving South Korea but unsure what exactly it will entail.

Each POV will be tonally quite different, with TF141's being more akin to the rebooted series with a focus on stealth infiltration and high action hero-esque segments, while Demon Dogs will be more akin to American missions in the original trilogy, with a focus on immersive urban firefights and CQB room clearing segments.

As far as characters, the Demon Dogs' POV its seemingly just Griggs and new characters. With 141 it's the obvious members (Yes, Soap is infact still dead.) Price being wanted for Shepherd's murder doesn't seem to be too major of a plot point.

Last story comment is, the game will be attempting to go for MW (2019)'s strategy of containing many shock value moments and a much darker tone, there will be less of an emphasis on 141 being "heroes" and more so just above average soldiers that are revered as being the best of the best and willing to do anything to accomplish the mission, with morals taking more of a backseat against what gets results.

As previously leaked there is some sort of NYC mission, although rather than it being an invasion like the original MW3 it seems it is a terrorist attack by Makarov, being a false flag attack posing as Russia (it also seems this mission is a flashback, taking place shortly after MWIII).

Quick comment on setting, MWIV is taking a bit of a near-futuristic approach, similar to Black Ops II and Ghosts, the game will attempt to remain grounded, while also taking creative liberties with the technology of a world living in the aftermath of BOII's 2nd Cold War. The game is scheduled to release in 2026 under Infinity Ward as the lead developer. The studio has undergone quite a few changes in leadership since 2022's MWII.

• Animus Anomalies are confirmed to be returning
• The person who bought the copy says he is loving the game so far and according to him “it’s the best one since Black Flag”
• It's a much older build with none of the improvements added in from the delays

Original Title: A Persona 4 related project may be in production. Shihoko Hirata (vocalist for P4's OST) has been recording songs for an unannounced game where all Persona soundtracks are recorded + liking Persona 4 related tweets

This recording booth is essentially Sega's own booth at this point with how barely any other studio uses it.

Additionally there was the Midori leak saying a Persona 4 Remake exists, looks like it could be in production possibly

Edit - the tweet

NEW codenames have been found in the Red Better XCloud files: Sebile_Delgado, Sebile_EV1B, Actium_Duet, and Actium_Evo. All signs point to this controller being compatible with the NEXT Xbox, but could it be released sooner than expected? This controller is ALREADY listed in the Cloud Gaming files. The controller is said to come with:

🔹 MODULAR and with improved HAPTICS, similar to the DualSense. 🔹 GOODBYE to BATTERIES, now with rechargeable battery. 🔹 Gesture to "wake up" the controller. 🔹 Part of the console renewal.

With these features, Microsoft seems to be preparing a strong blow in the industry and now it would want to compete with the functions of the Dualsense, but with the Xbox design.

I know she's not reliable just posted it in case it turns out to be correct. She mostly mentioned metroid prime 2 remastered and that kirby port.

Tldr: If the studio's are not sold, then they will be closed as Netease is pulling international investment.

Here are Netease current studios.

• Quantic Dream
• Grasshopper
• Nagoshi Studio
• Pincool
• GPTRACK50 Studio
• Studio Flare
• Jackalyptic Games (Warhammer MMO)
• Anchor Point Studios
• T-Minus Zero Entertainment
• Rebel Wolves (The Blood of Dawnwalker)
• Skybox Labs (big Microsoft support studio)
• • Netease teams and smaller devs

Key Quotes

"NetEase is actively shopping around more of its non-Chinese studios—many of the very same ones it announced over the last three years—two people familiar with the company's efforts tell Game File. Neither individual was authorized to speak about NetEase's plans publicly.

One of Game File's sources says NetEase plans to divest itself of the majority of its overseas teams, leading to the potential closure of more than a dozen game studios, if they can't secure new post-NetEase funding."

A NetEase rep declined to comment to Game File on these cuts, let alone the scale of more than a dozen that I've heard about. But they did say that "all studios and projects are in constant review and evaluation, and NetEase will determine changes needed to be made throughout that process."

In a season of hurt for much of the game industry, a further NetEase pullback is likely to deliver pain around the globe."

Tldr; Netease slashing jobs and games to refocus the portfolio. Slashing is coming from international investment. Marvel Rivals was nearly cancelled because of Disney fees.

Nagoshi (Yakuza creator) and other Japanses studios can wrap up their projects. However, Netease will not give them more time or investment. Netease will not advertise any Japanese game as the plan.

Jackalope Games is developing a Warhammer MMO. The game has been successful in trade show reception and new publishers are looking to take over the game.

Key Quotes

"Ding, 53, who founded the company and is chief executive officer, has cut hundreds of jobs, closed or idled game studios and pulled back on international investment as he refocuses on a smaller portfolio of titles. He reasserted his leadership with a series of dramatic decisions over the past year, according to people familiar with the company's inner workings who asked to not be identified."

"But before it was released, there were discussions about it being canceled, one of the people said. Ding objected to paying Walt Disney Co. for the use of popular characters like Wolverine and Spider-Man, and at one point asked his artists to swap in their own hero designs. That ultimately aborted effort cost the company millions of dollars and was emblematic of the abrupt changes ushered in by the CEO. A NetEase spokesperson denied this account, saying the company has enjoyed a close partnership with Marvel since 2017."

"Japan had been one of NetEase's key outposts, with celebrated creator Toshihiro Nagoshi, responsible for the Yakuza franchise, a major hire to bolster the creative ranks. The decision to close Ouka was made in the midst of developing the studio's first big game, Visions of Mana, for Square Enix Holdings Co. Ding overruled executives who had greenlit the project as he decided there's no need for a team working for outside publishers, the people said. Outside Ouka, NetEase-funded Japanese creators — Nagoshi among them — have been given time to wrap up ongoing projects. The message from headquarters in Hangzhou has been that there'll be no additional funding or time, the people said. There's no plan to spend on marketing or promoting the games currently in production in Japan."

"That's even though some of NetEase's Western studios engaged in discussions with potential new game publishers, according to one of the people. Jackalope Games, NetEase's first studio in the US, has been working on what's known in the industry as a massively muliplayer online role-playing game tied to the Warhammer game franchise. At a recent trade show it received a positive reception from potential partners."

Figured I’d share this since there’s suddenly been an influx of rumors regarding the franchise. The date very much makes me think 3 & 4 are getting remade

EDIT: It’s also important to note a lot of the sources regarding this can’t seem to tell whether or not this is a remake or a flat out new game. Tyshawn Jones said he was under the impression it was a new game, but everyone else is saying it’s a 3+4 Remaster, plus the countdown is very clearly the logo from those games

MEGAsizeGPU is a reliable insider for GPU board partners

Basically (if what he is reporting is true), a "small" batch of GB202 dies are defective and have 168 ROPs rather than the expected 176 ROPs. This impacts all add in board partners including the founders edition, but the number of defective GPUs is unknown. It CANNOT be fixed via a BIOS update, it is a hardware defect

There are ~~three~~ ~~four~~ six confirmed cases of this defect thus far, including a Zotac review unit TechPowerUp has

From Hasbro's earnings call:

We expect total Hasbro revenue to grow at a mid-single digit growth rate from 2025 through 2027 with the acceleration driven by momentum in MAGIC, a stronger entertainment slate in Toys and the launch of internally published video games, starting with Exodus in 2026.
