VideoGamer: X Interview

When Smoking Gun Interactive, the studio formed by ex-Relic (Company of Heroes) staff members, announced the first details on its debut project, VideoGamer understandably paid attention. Relic is responsible for some of the best PC games this decade, so they dived into the X graphic novel to see what information could be gleamed from its pages.

The studio has also set up an ARG, giving people even more titbits of gameworld information. They caught up with Smoking Gun Interactive CEO John Johnson to talk about how the graphic novel came about and the reason behind it.

PlayStation Removing Twitter/X Integration for PS4 and PS5 on November 13

PlayStation has announced that they will be removing Twitter/X integration from PS4 and PS5 systems on November 13.

shinoff2183197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

I never used it or had no intentions to. I am curious to why though.

Nitrowolf2197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

the API prices, Musk is insane
Even if PlayStation could afford it, it's a waste

GamerRN196d ago

It was never that useful when it was free for Sony

excaliburps197d ago

Elon that's why. He put a large amount to use Twitter API. Dude is killing the platform and once BlueSky launches, it's game over. I mean, assuming BlueSky works and all.

gerbintosh197d ago

Just like when Threads launched, it was game over but look at it now. If a company wants to replace twitter they need to innovate not copy

Spenok197d ago

Lol, yeah, THAT'S going to happen.

Musk has been doing nothing but make the platform a better place to communicate, making truth easier to find or point out.

People keep saying it's dying, or he's going to kill it, but it's somehow still the most used platform of its kind than any other.

shadowknight203197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

Twitter is 1 of the few social platforms that allows us as people to speak freely, and I mean everyone, so him ruining the platform as u say, is a big joke of a statement.

Sometimes it only takes 1 person, but it takes a large group of people and a need, a purpose, to make a change happen. There was obviously a need for change. Spew your propaganda filth all you want, but if API prices ruins a platform, a 'use' that PS never really used or needed, then you otta reprioritize what matters to you when you speak nonsense. But that's actually what that is "non" "sense".

Moegooner197d ago (Edited 197d ago )

Lol @ the last two comments. It lost around half of its value. Try again.

“Musk has been doing nothing but make the platform a better place to communicate, making truth easier to find or point out.”

“People keep saying it's dying, or he's going to kill it, but it's somehow still the most used platform of its kind than any other.“

Exactly. The Elon hate is funny. Twitter was headed for bankruptcy before Elon acquired them and now with 80% of the workforce gone X continues to operate just fine and has gotten more features than before in a record amount of time.

X is seeing 1.5 million new sign-ups every day.
Back in March, X reported that it now has 253 million daily active users, an increase of 15 million on the 238 million mDAU that Twitter reported in July 2022.

SyntheticForm197d ago

Thank god for community notes.

RioKing196d ago (Edited 196d ago )

Expecting the guy who ran Twitter to not turn BlueSky into the same left-wing echo chamber it was is hilarious. Have fun with that. 👍🏼

fr0sty196d ago

@spenok, that isn't even close to true. Twitter has lost almost all of its sponsors, and usage rates are plummeting faster than any other social network out there. At least try to look up the facts before you speak.

fr0sty196d ago (Edited 196d ago )

@ Jin

X currently has 225 million daily active users – a decline in tens of millions or 11.6 percent of users from just before Musk acquired the company. Ad revenue is down 50%.

Elon lets the nazis roam free, and in turn the sponsors roam free as well, away from X. I give it another year, he'll try to sell it once his dream of turning it into an unregulated bank come crashing down around his feet.

MS had already dropped it, so this really isn't a surprise.

I used it just to post screenshots. But that was years ago when the feature and twitter were new.

Gamingsince1981197d ago

Twitter was always trash, the faster he kills it the better.

Army_of_Darkness197d ago

X and rumble. The only platforms with genuinely true free speech for us all! Everyone should support them by signing up. It's free after all 👆👍 heck, I never had Twitter until Elon took over😁

FunAndGun197d ago

There is no such thing as "free speech" when you sign a Terms of Service Agreement. X and Rumble still delete, ban, and censors users.

shinoff2183196d ago (Edited 196d ago )

Man I get the free speech and all but the biggest ones clamoring about that are the ones I'm not interested in hearing their bs from anyway. Free speech shouldn't mean being able to flat out lie with no evidence what so ever. Just saying

Will say twiiter is one of the few places besides reddit I could advertise one of my ventures

Price for the Musk adventure

Price for the Musk ̶a̶d̶v̶e̶n̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ debacle

ZeekQuattro197d ago

Musk is doing his damndest to kill X the artist formily known as Twitter. Oh well. 🤣

cammers1995196d ago

It'll be gone within a few years thanks to him.

Army_of_Darkness197d ago

Why would you say that? The dude is undoubtedly a great human being. Donating to charities, helping the environment, allowing free speech on X even though his actions are causing other huge companies and elitist to become his opposition as a consequence, his quote to them was“Offer me money.. Offer me power.. I don't care.” 🙌 the man!

shadowknight203196d ago

People have more hate for him than Jeffrey Epstein. It's not the people's fault, it's just people are too easily brainwashed by propaganda. Happened with the Germans and Hitler, and it's happening again but on a world scale.

Babadook7196d ago (Edited 196d ago )

Musk is a breath of fresh air compared to other tech big wigs. He’s not even woke.

Zuck on the other hand. 💩

I'm really glad most people don't post their random, rambling gaming youtube videos on N4G. It helps cut down on the clutter.

I think we can all agree that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare deserved a spot on this list.

medman3635d ago (Edited 3635d ago )

Damn you Val Kilmer, damn you!!!! Put the bottle down, ya lush.

ATi_Elite3636d ago

I'm looking forward to X ZELDA and star wars Battlefront.

Xof3636d ago

Sadly, my most anticipated games for E3 are the least interesting--Samurai Warriors 4 and Zelda Musou.

I imagine DOS will make an appearance, but since it's releasing at the end of the month and I've had beta access since December, I'm not anticipating it that much.

I guess there's Xillia 2? Too bad FFXV won't make an appearance.

....

Really, though, the main things I'm hoping to see are just new announcements for new games/localizations. It was either Valve or the Borderlands people who bought the Homeworld IP, right? I'd love to see a Homeworld 3 announced. Or a Dragon Quest VII 3D localization announcement. That would make my week.
