PC Gamers, come rate my videogame vinyl collection and decide whether it was worth the $$$

An enthusiast began collecting video game and anime soundtrack vinyl with a four-disc box set of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which featured both music and stunning interior artwork. The collection expanded to include soundtracks from titles like Dark Souls 3, Bloodborne, Demon's Souls Remake, Total War: Three Kingdoms, The Banner Saga, Outer Wilds, Hollow Knight, Baldur's Gate 3, Dishonored, and Persona 5. The collector values the ritual of listening to vinyl, which offers a mindful experience compared to streaming music. They browse sites like Black Screen Records and iam8bit for new releases while being mindful of shipping costs. The collector transitioned from an Audio Technica turntable to a portable Sound Burger for added fun and functionality. Common mistakes include buying soundtracks for games played extensively, which can diminish enjoyment. Storage solutions vary, with some using stylish crates or portable cases. Limited pressings make many soundtracks coveted collector's items, and the collector regrets missing Supergiant's 10th anniversary collection. They hope for future releases, particularly for Silksong.

Now that we’re living in a KPop Demon Hunters and Jujutsu Kaisen world, yokai-smiting action game Kemuri should be a slam dunk

Kemuri is a co-op action game focused on hunting mythical demons in urban environments, developed by Ikumi Nakamura's studio. The first gameplay trailer was revealed during Sony's State of Play event, showcasing vibrant animation and dynamic action. The game aims to provide a multiplayer experience similar to the Dark Souls series, featuring unique hunters and yokai. Questions remain about its structural design, including whether it will be open-world or mission-based and if it will prioritize campaign or loot systems. Kemuri's launch is timed with a cultural interest in demon hunting, and it is scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 in 2027, with hopes for a PC version.

Deadlock new midlane objective turned games into such a mid-only fiasco that it only lasted one weekend, though Valve’s still experimenting

Valve has made adjustments to the urn, a key objective in the game, following a recent patch. The urn was historically placed on one side of the map with a drop-off point on the opposite end, causing delays for carriers and allowing opposing teams to reclaim soul orbs. Players have expressed concerns that these mechanics exacerbate existing issues in the game's meta, particularly regarding team dynamics and gameplay pace. In response, Valve has relocated the urn to spawn under the bridge in one of the side-lanes to promote a more balanced experience. The urn now appears at the previous drop-off point for the team trailing in souls, and the bullet and spirit resist aura for the favored team has been reduced from 50% to 35% to encourage strategic play.

PlayStation Will No Longer Bring Narrative Single-Player Games To PC

PlayStation is shifting its strategy regarding PC releases, with CEO Hermen Hulst announcing that single-player narrative experiences will now be exclusive to PlayStation consoles. This means titles like Ghost of Yotei, Saros, and Marvel’s Wolverine are unlikely to be available on PC. The decision appears to be driven by underwhelming sales figures for PlayStation games on PC and a desire to boost console purchases ahead of the potential PS6 launch. However, multiplayer games, such as MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls, will still be released on PC. The gaming community is hopeful that PlayStation may reconsider its approach in the future, potentially releasing titles through its own launcher or storefront.

Sony Ends PC Ports For PlayStation Single-Player Games, Reverses Multi-Platform Strategy

Sony Interactive Entertainment announced that future internally developed single-player games will no longer be released on PC, as confirmed by CEO Hermen Hulst during a company town hall meeting. This decision means anticipated titles like Ghost of Yotei and Saros will remain exclusive to PlayStation 5, while multiplayer and live-service games will still be released on PC. This marks a shift from Sony's previous strategy that began in 2020, which included bringing major franchises like God of War to PC. The change was influenced by the underperformance of several PC releases and concerns about brand dilution. Upcoming first-party projects expected to remain console-exclusive include the God of War Trilogy Remake and Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, while external publishing agreements like Death Stranding 2 and Kena: Scars of Kosmora will still see PC releases. This strategy aligns Sony more closely with Nintendo's approach to exclusivity, contrasting with Microsoft's broader release strategy.

Sony retreats from PC gaming, robbing us of maybe 4 games

Herman Hulst, the head of PlayStation, announced that single-player PlayStation titles will no longer be released on PC, marking a shift in the company's strategy. This decision comes as Sony focuses on boosting console sales amid declining interest in traditional gaming hardware. While multiplayer titles will still be available on PC, major action-adventure games from studios like Naughty Dog or Insomniac will require a PS5. Upcoming titles include Marvel's Wolverine and God of War: Sons of Sparta in 2026, and Ghost of Yōtei and Death Stranding 2 in 2025. The price of the PS5 has increased to 0, complicating the appeal of exclusive titles. Critics argue the perceived value of the PS5 is diminishing due to a lack of significant library expansion, while the PC gaming landscape continues to grow, with platforms like SteamOS and devices like the Steam Deck enhancing accessibility.
