So... I’m thinking Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Spider-Man: Miles Morales are both coming to PS4 in addition to #PS5.

Both trailers note the footage was “Captured on PS5” at the end.

Horizon: Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Demon’s Souls, Sackboy, etc. don’t say this...

Could just be a weird quirk, or something Insomniac in particular is pointing out in their trailers.

But after GTAV was shown, the stream notes all future games are PS5-bound and captured on PS5. So we already knew this. Why the redundancy?

Kinda interesting, no?

#PlayStation5

It’s worth noting that Hermen Hulst’s PS Blog post points out what the PS5 can do for these games (see attached images). No note on exclusivity, but PS4 can’t work SSD magic like this.

I think Sony needs to go all-out with PS5, so I’d like this to just be a quirk. But...

...both Ratchet 2016 and Spider-Man run on PS4, and the latter especially is the building point for the new expansion.

My money is on this being nothing, but I’m a bit surprised no one else seemed to notice this particularly ‘cause Insom was so prolific on PS4 with its releases!

Guys, I know Jason Tweeted about me. I get it.

He blocked me a while ago, so I have no idea how he saw what I Tweeted, but nonetheless, I get the message! LOL.

If you want agenda-driven journalism totally devoid of the reality of making and selling games, he's your man, not me.

For real, can you imagine being so blessed that you get to make video games for a living?

Not just any game, but a AAA game that will sell millions, that will grace your resumé forever, make you lots of bonus cash, leave a legacy.

And you're asked to work seven extra paid days.

And then a journalist with a blatant axe to grind, who seeks out literally anything that could feed his weird narrative, reports on this like it's relevant.

Do these writers realize that many people who read their work have real problems? That this shit comes off as tone deaf?

We do a Patreon-exclusive episode of Sacred Symbols each week: Sacred Symbols+.

Every so often, we do a "Spoilercast/Review Discussion" for a game, which we eventually make free-for-all.

Moving forward, I'll add to this list as they go "free".

Please support us if you can! <3

Colin’s Last Stand is roughly 30 Patrons away from being the biggest gaming and nerd culture-related Patreon on Planet Earth.

That is absolutely bonkers.

This month’s the month. I feel it.

Thank you for your support! patreon.com/colinslaststand

We built this with:

✅ Virtually no mainstream games industry support.

✅ Virtually no games PR or publisher goodwill.

✅ Persistent defamation and misrepresentation by games media and their acolytes.

But the people have spoken.

Thank you so much for that. <3

@DustinCanFly

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. Truly.

Shoutout to my employees/freelancers, too.

To @DustinCanFly, who works hard (often keeping Weird "Colin Hours") to get content out on time.

To @dagan1973, who's the most natural podcaster that never podcasted 'til '18.

"A riot is the language of the unheard."

This MLK quote has circulated endlessly to justify riotous violence. But it misrepresents his stance.

From the same 1966 60 Minutes interview:

"I would hope that we can avoid riots... Riots are self-defeating and socially destructive."

Also from the same interview:

"I will never change in my basic idea that non-violence is the most potent weapon available... in [the] struggle for freedom and justice. To turn to violence would be both impractical and immoral."

(Edited to avoid archaic racial language.)

If you watch the interview (which I suggest), MLK talks extensively about the immoral and intolerable racism the black community faced (and which the community still faces).

But he never condoned violence. And he knew it wasn't a useful tool.

Peace is the most potent weapon.

Mr. Lloyd's death is a tragedy we can all see on film with our own eyes. Yet, I fear that any potential progress will soon be nullified by imprudence and bad actors.

The only thing this level of violence and anarchy will guarantee is more injustice, manufacturing more victims.

Pardon me, Floyd*.

I think any movement must be crafted with a through-line; a strategy and a goal. Lawlessness feeds the reactionary and starves those seeking justice.

The answers aren't easy to come by. Certainly not. All I know is this isn't the answer. Nothing positive can be gained from this.
