• Former Microsoft exec says the first Xbox was killed early in favor of 360 because it was "losing money left right and center," but luckily "we could afford to hemorrhage cash"

  10-03-2025 22:54 via gamesradar.com
  
  The original Xbox console was short-lived compared to a typical console generation, and now we have the very simple reason why: it was a financial disaster for Microsoft.It's fairly common knowledge that Microsoft lost more than $4 billion dollars on the OG Xbox, and it's probably also pretty common to infer that that's the reason it was killed ahead of schedule to make room for the Xbox 360, but now we know that to be explicitly true thanks to the guy who was in charge of Xbox at the time.Forme

  10-03-2025 22:09 via gamesradar.com
  
  The story of The Last of Us 2 proved to be absolutely polarizing, with some players loving it, others hating it, and some subset of the latter group engaging in an ugly harassment campaign against the developers at Naughty Dog. The studio is now at work on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a sci-fi game about religion that director Neil Druckmann jokes will surely get less hate than The Last of Us 2 did.Druckmann spoke about Intergalactic's fictional timeline with 28 Days Later writer and Civi

• The Last of Us creator Neil Druckmann says Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet will also be about "being lonely," as if his zombie apocalypse wasn’t isolating enough: "I really want you to be lost"

  10-03-2025 22:06 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Last of Us offers players a grim, greenish apocalypse where teenagers carry pistols and everything rots, but that apparently isn't hardcore enough for creator Neil Druckmann. The Naughty Dog director says that the studio's upcoming sci-fi title Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet won't be nearly as cuddly as The Last of Us' knife to throat – it wants you to feel as isolated as possible."You're playing a bounty hunter that's chasing her bounty, and she crashlands on this planet," Druckma

• JRPG producer says people prefer their anime girls to have thick thighs when the economy's in the tank, and he's not even joking a little bit

  Atelier producer Junzo Hosoi says you can thank the Japan recession for the series' recent embrace of thick anime girls - and no, neither I nor he is joking.For some context, the titular protagonist in the Atelier Ryza trilogy apparently made the bold decision to eat enough food to have a healthy amount of body fat, and everyone got all worked up about it.Talking to 4Gamer (translation courtesy Automaton), Hosoi drew a seemingly tenuous connection to Ryza's thick thighs and the Japanese economy.

  Andor showrunner says season 2 will feature a known event in Star Wars canon that has yet to be seen on screen."Ghorman, interestingly, is canonical but completely undescribed. It's a total blank slate. There's also a bit of confusion about the Ghorman Massacre, and what is the Ghorman Massacre? There's a lot of confusion within canon," Gilroy told Collider.

  Since it was revealed in 2024, Atomfall has been constantly compared to the Fallout series. Despite Rebellion's post-apocalyptic open-world game doing its own thing for the most part, there is undoubtedly some inspiration from its contemporaries. But the biggest draw for Atomfall is – in my eyes at least – its exploring post-nuclear disaster version of England (no, not modern-day Birmingham), as the game is based on an alternate history where the Windscale fire in Cumbria back in 195
