It's funny how they mention "changing player behaviours" when they're the ones pushing what they think we want.
I feel like Playstation has always been an offline single player console first and foremost. But that doesn't sell subscriptions.
The first Horizon gameplay trailer was one of the most exciting things I had ever seen. And the first game met all my expectations.
Then Horizon 2 came and it was 'fine' but a bloated mess. They had mechanical post-apocalyptic dinosaurs so why the hell would they drag aliens into it?
Then came the spin-offs and it had the same effect as Breath of the Wild / Final Fantasy 7 / Star Wars / Marvel
Over-exposure just destroyed all the magic.
Not sure I'll even play the next game now.
It's probably the French romantic violins and red roses esthetic that makes it less interesting to me. Didn't expect so many French clichés from actual French people, either.
Really looking forward to that game, but how on earth did Naughty Dog choose to go for such a generic title. It sounds like the best thing ChatGTP would come up with.
@LifeGirl They had cows and plenty of food in their community. I don’t understand why people keep using this argument. Just look at how this group is organised.
Not liking the character design. For all the hate Naughty Dog is getting, I prefer characters that look more like actual humans. Would have made this feel more grounded.
God of War is one I’ve been keeping for ‘‘when it comes to PS+’’, but now it’s here I still can’t be too bothered. Played the first game and enjoyed it moderately. It takes itself way too seriously and the voice acting always cracks me up, as if George Lucas was in the recording studio saying “darker and more intense” at every line.
All this while a parallel universe has a 3rd person semi open world stealth shooter with rpg elements, about Laguna’s journey from Winhill to Esthar to rescue Ellone.
Thank you president trump, for teaching every idiot in the world that you can always get away with saying the craziest, dumbest, most xenophobic sh*t, as long as you say it with enough confidence.
Imagine a 50$ game being considered exceptionally cheap. What timeline is this? No game should be over 60$. And most definitely not over 100$ for digital only special editions. If you buy those games at launch, they’re just going to make them 110$ next year.
@Haruki_NLI I’m actually wondering why they don’t do that. Not for this adaptation, but as a way to release the medium in general. Nintendo Switch isn’t using its full potential for that either.
I already paid 600€ for my PS5, and I haven’t gotten a single stable 60fps game in performance mode. Now I have to spend even more money to get a decent performance?
Oh and people saying they’re switching to Nintendo are delusional: they are even greedier and you can be sure they’re adjusting Switch 2’s price to ‘industry standards’ now. Only it will have tech that’s 2,5 generations behind.
I’m one of those people who need a constant 60fps for fast paced games to be able to play them at all. Did I really buy an expensive new console for all these dropped frames everywhere?
Are we glad to hear it’s not worse… not sure. I really need my fast paced games to perform well, or I’ll just get sick. So if FF16 is a reference, that’s a BIG no for me.

Judge's unintentionally funny voice acting is the reason I never got into the games. His forced 'dark & gritty' take cracks me up every time.

All I can think is that it was rushed because they needed it for the State of Play

Re: 26 Under the Radar PS5 Games to Watch Out for in 2026
Possessor(s) is a 2025 game that was ignored completely. Apparently that's what happens if a dev has no money left to promote a game.

Anyone who enjoyed 16 has no right to hate 13 for being linear.

Re: Preview: Why Digimon Story Time Stranger Will Scratch Your Pokémon Itch on PS5
Pokemon games are the perfect example of: "why try harder if people are gonna buy it anyway?"
THIS is how it should look and play.
Re: Game of Thrones Star Announced as Lara Croft for Amazon's Tomb Raider TV Show
Is there anyone who's going to watch it because they loved her in GoT?
She can only play Sophie Turner, which she does really well.
Re: 'Things Are Progressing Really Smoothly': Nomura Shares Rare Update on Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Kingdom Hearts 4
Both franchises should have been buried a long time ago. But especially FF7.
That huge sword and spiky hair were designed for an anime-style character. Making it all hyperrealistic just looks ridiculous.
Should always have been a single game with the same cartoony art style. This takes itself so seriously it's hilarious.

@Only1PJA Ah yes, keep forgetting about those. They’re ok games but don’t feel one bit like Tomb Raider games.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Story Now Complete, Game Is on Schedule
