What are we doing, we are in one of the busiest time for videogames with GTA 6 headed our way in a few months. There is so much to be covered and shared, you need all hands on deck imo. Even then, why would you ever fire someone as great as @agentbizzle

Sony used to understand the value of strong studios, beloved IP and memorable single-player games. Now it seems more interested in chasing live-service bets, even as projects collapse, studios suffer and obvious wins like PHYSINT are left on the table.

Swords can lodge in enemies, executions can be interrupted and companions respond differently depending on their relationship with Pei.

NO. Good-enough for The Furious is NOT "good-enough" and it makes me FURIOUS. You have never SEEN a martial arts movie with choreography this INSANE. Everyone who is out there seeing OBSESSION again-and-again: DO A "FURIOUS OBSESSION" DOUBLE FEATURE RIGHT FUCKING NOW.

This is how me and my friend would fight when we were young, so that we didn't hurt each other too much.

So.. its time to test the new Google Omni Flash model with a fight scene on a roof😁. And.. the results are pathetic. Zero logic and continuation between various shots. Just a mish-mash of NBP images with 2 dudes fighting on a roof. And that confirms my previous test - Google Omni model completely lacks any spatial awareness of the object's location in 3d space and their relation to each other. It just randomly combines a set of scenes in a similar location, that's it. Nowhere near Seadance 2 level of scene logic or fight choreography.
