Bloodborne Remake is Dead (And It's Demon's Souls' Fault)

The Bloodborne remake is officially never going to happen. Following the bombshell Bloomberg report revealing that Bluepoint Games pitched a remake to Sony in 2025, who said yes only to be completely shut down by FromSoftware, everyone is asking: why would Miyazaki reject a studio with Bluepoint's pedigree? The answer actually lies in the PS5 Demon's Souls remake. Welcome to Reforge Gaming, your daily destination for gamers talking gaming.

Who Really Killed the Xbox? (It Wasn’t Sarah Bond)

Is Sarah Bond actually to blame for the "Xbox Everywhere" strategy, or is she just a convenient scapegoat? In this video, we are cutting through the revisionist history and looking at the actual timeline of Xbox's shift away from console hardware. Responding to the recent article from The Verge, I've brought the receipts to show that the "no console required" push was set in motion by Phil Spencer and Satya Nadella years before Sarah Bond was ever promoted. From the 2018 E3 interviews to the Starfield Samsung ads that dropped before she even took the job, we are breaking down exactly who built the strategy she is now taking the fall for. I’m not defending the confusing "This is an Xbox" marketing campaign, but I am defending the truth. Welcome to Reforge Gaming, your daily destination for gamers talking gaming.

Highguard is not so Indie Afterall

People are furious about the Highguard disaster, the mass layoffs at Wildlight Entertainment, and the game flopping so quickly but a lot of folks are angry for the wrong reasons right now. The recent revelation that Chinese tech giant Tencent was the undisclosed lead financial backer of Highguard has sparked a massive debate about what it actually means to be an "indie" studio. In this video, we break down the critical difference between a publisher and an investor, and why receiving funding from a massive conglomerate doesn't technically strip a studio of its independent status. However, the real issue is the optics. From the presentation at The Game Awards to developers framing themselves as scrappy underdogs without corporate backing, the way Highguard was positioned to the public feels highly misleading. We dive into the "indie vibe check," the fallout of the recent layoffs, the current state of the game, and why the remaining players are turning their thumbs down. 👇 What are your thoughts on the Highguard situation and the Tencent reveal?

God of War Remake Leak (This is HUGE)

The latest God of War Trilogy Remake leak from Kratos actor Christopher Judge is HUGE. The God of War Remake will feature a new combat system and modern technology. Will it be like God of War 2018 and God of War Ragnarok combat? Or will they try to honor the original God of War gameplay feel? Let us know in the comments: Do you want fixed camera angles or over-the-shoulder gameplay? A God of War Greek Trilogy Remake is in early development by Santa Monica Studio for PlayStation 5, intended to rebuild the original three games from the ground up with modern graphics, enhanced combat systems, and potential new features. Announced in early 2026, the project aims to bring the classic, brutal, fixed-camera action to current hardware. --- ## 🤝 Support & Partnerships You help power the show!

PS6 Leaks: Stop The Nonsense

The rumors are spiraling again. Headlines claim the PlayStation 6 won't use RDNA 5, but is that actually true or just another case of the internet's "telephone game" spinning a specific leak out of control? To be clear: the leakers (like Kepler), @MooresLawIsDead and the outlets like @insider_gaming reporting these stories aren't the problem here. They are providing legitimate, nuanced information. The issue is the "telephone game" that happens immediately after where the internet takes a report saying, "Not Full RDNA 5" and twists it into a viral claim that the PS6 has " No RDNA 5." We saw this exact same cycle of misinterpretation confuse the public during the lead-up to the PlayStation 5. Legitimate leaks were taken out of context to fuel console wars, leaving a huge percentage of the audience with false expectations. In this video, I explain why we need to stop blaming the messengers and start using better terminology "Custom RDNA 5" to prevent this misinformation from becoming head canon again. Key Topics Defending the Leaks: Why Kepler and the reporting outlets are actually correct. "Not Full" vs. "None": How the internet is stripping context from the news. The Interpretation Machine: How social media twists valid reports into false narratives. The Solution: Adopting "Custom RDNA 5" to stop the confusion.

Highguard Will Fail Again

The failure of Highguard was undeniable, but the reaction from the studio and the gaming press has been even more concerning. Instead of self-reflection, we’ve seen blame shifted to marketing, "review bombing," and even the players themselves. In this video, we dig into the "unspoken hubris" at the center of this controversy. We look at the recent post from a former developer that exposes a shocking level of internal delusion claiming the game was "lightning in a bottle" and discuss why this disconnect guarantees that studios will continue to fail. We also tackle the issue of Access Journalism and "Toxic Positivity." Are content creators and the press serving the public, or are they protecting their relationships with publishers? Topics Covered: The "Unique Loop" excuse and the lack of accountability. Internal echo chambers: Why nobody told them the truth. The danger of confusing symptoms (negative comments) with causes (bad game design). Access Journalism: How fear of losing access silences valid criticism. Why games like Ghost of Yotei succeed despite negativity. If you enjoyed this commentary, make sure to like and subscribe for more deep dives into the industry.
