Sony Interactive Launches Unit to Adapt Games for Film, TV (Exclusive)

Sony Interactive Entertainment has launched PlayStation Productions, a production studio that will mine the company's extensive catalog of video game titles for film and television. The new enterprise, headed by Asad Qizilbash and overseen by chairman of Worldwide Studios at SIE, Shawn Layden, is already in production on its first slate of projects and has set up shop on the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City.

"We’ve got 25 years of game development experience and that’s created 25 years of great games, franchises and stories," Layden tells The Hollywood Reporter. "We feel that now is a good time to look at other media opportunities across streaming or film or television to give our worlds life in another spectrum."

I picked up Monster Hunter: World during a PS4 sale. I'm digging it so far. Still need to get the hang of capturing though.

Trump administration 25 percent tariff proposal targets U.S. board game, game console imports

The Trump administration is escalating the United States’ growing trade war with China, with hobby gaming now caught in the crossfire. A new document published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative lists thousands of goods categories that could be receiving new or revised tariffs in the amount of 25%.

On the list, buried between billiards and Christmas ornaments are a number of categories related to gaming, including video game consoles and machines, coin-operated arcade machines, and parts related to the operation of coin-operated arcade games.

I've thought about getting the iOS ports, but backed away due to how they might work on an iPod Touch. I'd be curious to see how they'd work on Switch.

I have no idea if they are good. I am a fan of D&D the tabletop game, but am not that versed in the game's lore (we just played random modules back in the day). I hope these games are good and can get me more into the stories of the Forgotten Realms (i only really read the original Dragonlance stuff).

I remember hearing good things about Neverwinter Nights. BioWare developed the original version. Obsidian developed the sequel.
