Sony executives recently released a statement about the company’s lack of original first-party titles and the gaming community reacted accordingly. Whether intellectual properties for films or video games, the company has more than enough compared to other major competitors. However, these executives seem to forget and it is baffling for a company like this to release a statement without reflecting on their portfolio. Other companies like Microsoft are infamous for their weak output of original first-party titles and never complained publicly.

Countless video games have been released in the past few years and some have been recently adapted to a full motion picture or a live-action television series which were critically praised. These executives have missed the memo and are complaining about a problem they never had.

"Cryptid hunters, rejoice! Using almost exclusively practical effects, Frogman is a found-footage creature feature based on the eerie real-life legend of the Loveland Frogman. Directed by Anthony Cousins and filmed mostly on Hi-8, Frogman will be available on Collector’s Version VHS February 9 and on VOD/Digital Platforms on March 8." Ahead of the film's VOD & Digital release, we have an exclusive clip just for Daily Dead readers!
Official Synopsis: "Loveland, Ohio. Home of the Frogman. In the summer of 1999, a 12-year-old named Dallas Kyle captured footage of the mythical creature, but no one believed it was real.
Twenty years later, Dallas, now an amateur filmmaker struggling to turn his passion into a career, returns to Loveland with friends Amy and Scotty determined to obtain irrefutable proof that the Frogman exists. But what starts as an innocent documentary soon turns into a Lovecraftian nightmare as Dallas uncovers the horrific secrets hidden beneath Loveland's idyllic surface.

Combining two popular themes, an author struggling with writer’s block and AI run amuck, Blank is the story of Claire Rivers who can’t seem to put words on paper even as the bills pile up and the calls from her agent become more frantic. Finally, facing a one month deadline to either produce a book or lose her publishing deal she decides to spend that time at The Retreat, a high tech facility for the creatively blocked.
Her room comes complete with a holographic concierge named Henry and Rita an android assistant. There’s also a weird little device for Claire to attach to her head in order to stimulate her creativity. It doesn’t seem to help though as we mostly see her drinking wine and falling asleep in front of the TV.

Following the aftermath of a horrific accident, Chloe (Alexys Gabrielle) voluntarily submits herself to experimental treatment to both help her recover her lost memories and recover emotionally from the accident. The treatment is progressive – for Chloe must spend time in a house packed with the latest in artificial intelligence, Artificially Intelligent Domestic Assistant or Aida for short (voiced by Emily Atack); a home automation system that acts as an AI nurse, tracking and caring for Chloe through every stage of her rehabilitation.
But then this film is called Dark Cloud isn’t it? Which can only mean one thing. Something is going to go wrong with Chloe’s treatment. Right? Right. After all, AI has been the source of all things evil since Stanley Kubrick’s 2001. Speaking of which,...

Marcus King says he was haunted by the Seventies rock band Free when he was writing his new song “Hard Working Man.” King ain’t lying. The high-octane track explodes with an FM radio chorus, a chunky guitar riff, and enough cowbell to satisfy Christopher Walken. Recorded earlier this year with producer Dan Auerbach for King’s upcoming album Young Blood, “Hard Working Man” sounds as if it arrived in the year 2022 by way of a bitchin’, time-traveling 1970 Camaro.
