The Front Row

We’ve seen that Capcom are back in force again with two games that we’ve heard a bit about already and they’re looking very good as well.

The fact that Konami is also doing a new Silent Hill with a British vibe was something that has definitely peaked my interest. I think overall it was a show that was one of the better State of Plays that PlayStation has had in recent memory. All based on the fact that eastern devs are really starting to cook.

A John Wick game was also announced. I think if we see the game appeal to how Max Payne 3 was from Rockstar. We could have something really special here as well. I know there are some Max Payne remakes in the works as well which are obviously totally unrelated. It’s just great that we’re seeing games like this return and it brings a lot of hope for many other games that might get another shot on the latest hardware.

All in all a strong State of Play and one I did enjoy for what was there for me. Even though admittedly, I am leaning towards Xbox a lot this year and they’ve become a really big publisher that will be getting a lot of my support mostly because of Playground games. However, what this State of Play does say is that a PlayStation is very much needed in your gaming setup. Especially when some of these are exclusively timed deals. That’s obviously it’s own story right there and an unpopular one at that. However, the fact that eastern gaming is alive and well is looking really rosy for the future of PlayStation. Nobody can deny that.

I am really looking forward to seeing where gaming takes us next for Xbox’s 25 year anniversary and how that will play into how gamers have it across the western continent.

In a really high volatile moment for this country politically where hate is becoming the norm in essence. I just find this coming from a co-owner of Manchester United to be pretty staggering in tone, at a time when Manchester United do not need to be in the spotlight for the ‘wrong’ reasons. Not only is this a really brazen take, it’s not taking into account how people do contribute overall. The UK has always been welcoming and an outward country just not on this level and it does need figuring out. We simply cannot blame all issues on a specific demographic when the issues go deeper than that within how we’ve acted as a country over the last few decades in government.

In fact, we’ve had years of governments that haven’t helped. We need a calm and forthright way of dealing with these issues which isn’t stereotypical. We simply don’t need more hate and division at a time when our country needs clear direction and time to get it’s house in order.

Action needs to be a balanced view on the principle of acceptance and fairness. Especially for the people who choose to come here legally who want to contribute to this country, while also dealing with the issues that are there. We do not need a society that is partitioned up into a hate campaign based on really vulgar things about people who aren’t actually doing anything wrong.

That’s just not the way to go about it even if there is some truth in the levels of mass immigration that do need to come down in this country.

It’s going to be really interesting how Manchester United handles this one.

Uniting them under one umbrella is a win-win. It not only adds to the affordability, but allows the streaming companies numbers to increase based on the services offered which will obviously increase subscription numbers all around.

We all know the promise of these apps and that something was needed to combine them to provide a better deal. It looks like Sky has answered that call with their Sky Ultimate subscription and it makes their Sky Stream service a pretty good deal on the set tiers in the UK.

When you have this many streaming apps ongoing. Something had to give. However, it really allows Sky to maintain that premium feel, and it’s no doubt something that TV fans will be looking at extensively over the coming months.
