So with MLB The Show 22 released today, there's now no upcoming PS Studios games with a specific release date. Sony always limits the amount of time that's the case so I feel there's a good chance of a State of Play or Showcase in the next few weeks.

This could mean literally nothing but there’s been an unusual amount of Twitter activity from Sony Santa Monica employees posting about God Of War Ragnarok (saying things along the lines of “working on this is awesome”) over the last few days 👀

@Voltan There’s a good chance there’s going to be a SoP in the very near future. Would be amazing if they announce a release date for GoWR.

Random thought here:
Do you think some games need a Boss Rush mode? or is it better to get a New game+ instead?

I was thinking God of War (2018) needs one Valkyrie boss rush, among some other games. i would totally go for both NG+ and Boss Rush if available.

You are a gamer, hold your head up high.

I don’t own a VRR capable TV yet so I can’t confirm myself, but I see people say that enabling VRR noticeably reduces input lag on “unsupported” PS5 games, which would be a big deal for my Guilty Gear, especially with cross play with PC coming soon!

How are the Evil Within games? I see you can get them both for about a tenner.

@MightyDemon82 Number 2 is more polished - the execution is far better overall, but it definitely loses some of the raw trippiness of Number 1. It’s like Ubisoft got a final pass at it before release or something. However, the weird factor of EW1 outstays its welcome well before the end and there is no other reason to recommend it over EW2. The difficulty is a bit all over the place in EW1, too. I really remember that as a big problem. EW2, the semi-open environments will make you feel like you’re in Silent Hill again, and the way you trigger certain set-piece encounters is a refreshing take on the survival horror genre. There are side quests but they are minimal so you don’t get bogged down, and they are generally always worth doing.

I absolutely love EW2. If you like Resi 4, you should like it. Not sure why I am saying that as I don’t really rate Resi 4 myself 😂 Okay, if you like Dead Space 2 you should like EW2 😉

Get both, play them in any order. But if you only get one, jump to the second.

@MightyDemon82 Only played the first game, although I enjoyed it i
thought it did feel a bit too long for me. For that price you can't go wrong though.

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Square Enix just sold a bunch of western studios and their IPs (including Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, etc) to Embracer. Apparently pretty cheap too.
Wtf, Squeenix.

To be fair, at least it’s not Xbox and it might actually be good for the studios and their games.

@Voltan wow okay, well like you say at least they’ll remain multi-platform. Really hoping that we see a new Dues Ex and Sleeping Dogs.

Edit. and though I never really played them, from what I now understand of the series I’d love them to green light a Legacy of Kain reboot.

@colonelkilgore I don't know how well they aged (it's been a couple decades after all) but LoK: Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 were easily some of the best written action adventure games of their time and Defiance was very good too.
I'd definitely love that to come back - I'd even take a solid remake following the same script if that's all they got.
The original LoK was a very different game, a top-down RPG - I didn't play much of that, tbh.

@Voltan Seems like a steal at that price, considering other prices paid in the industry at the minute. Those studios have produced some amazing games over the years and hopefully they will continue to do so, and maybe be allowed more freedom. Scary that SE feel that money is better invested in things like NFTs though.

@render Welp, I just hope that doesn't affect the console Final Fantasy games in a significant way. They have all the room they need for that in their mobile games and stuff.
