Microsoft Teams outage hits thousands of users, reveals Downdetector

Sony has now made a new statement about Rise of the Ronin’s Korean release.

The president of Bloober Team says Konami‘s latest trailer for Silent Hill 2 is not an accurate representation of the game his studio is working on.

The CEO of Polish developer Bloober Team, Piotr Babieno, has placed the blame for last month's poorly-received trailer for its Silent Hill 2 remake on publisher Konami.

Silent Hill had a strong presence at Sony’s last State of Play, from the stealth release of Silent Hill: The Short Message to a new trailer for Bloober Team’s remake of Silent Hill 2.

However, there was also the confirmation that the new selection of games included Silent Hill 2, a remake from Bloober Team.

In case you missed it, Microsoft made an industry-shaking acquisition at the tail end of last year, buying up Activision Blizzard King for an eye-watering $69 billion. It took a long time to close, though, because of intense scrutiny from a handful of different sources — one of those being the USA's Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Now, in the wake of Microsoft cutting thousands of jobs, the FTC is back on the company's case, accusing it of contradicting statements made in court about how the business would operate post-acquisition.

With Death Stranding 2: On the Beach due out next year, and Kojima Productions set to begin production on new stealth-action IP Physint around the same time, Hideo Kojima and its studio have plenty on their plate already- though that’s not all. Also in the works is OD, a horror game being made in collaboration with Xbox Game Studios, which, as revealed at The Game Awards in December, will also see acclaimed American actor and filmmaker Jordan Peele collaborating with Kojima.

We all make mistakes. That’s just a fact of life. But the question is what we do to FIX those mistakes when they’re called out. Do we simply keep going and ignore all feedback? Or do we try to “do right by others” and adjust things to improve everything? In the case of the Halo TV series, fans and critics alike wanted SEVERAL key adjustments when the second season came out. The first season was fraught with problems, so it was up to the sophomore attempt to fix it, and Halo Season 2 appears to have done that on several fronts.
