1UP-HUSKY

It's great to see a past franchise back on track again. Haven't played this one yet, to many great games releasing now, but I will definitely play it in the future.

IGN loves clickbait. It really depends on what you like. I love the first party games, mainly because I enjoy good stories on a game. I for one grew tired of Nintendo's output after 8 generations of consoles with the same franchise and identical games since N64/GC. Doesn't mean they are bad, but I enjoy them less then before.

It's unbelievable what has become of Konami. They used to be one of the best in the 90's en early 00's. Every time they released a game you knew it would be great. These days however.

I expected they would have raised the price higher by now. I wouldn't be surprised that the price will be 60 a month in a couple of years.

If I were them I would already go shopping for a job at other studios.

Would love a copy, but that price is holding me back.

Last game I bought from EA was FC24. And that was the only game in 4 years, so no loss there. That said, this is not great for gaming at all. Activision was bad, but at least they were bought by a way lesser evil then this.

This game looks so good, can't wait to play it. So many great games have been released these months but this one stands out for me.

I ordered my PS5 pro, will receive it this Tuesday. Looking forward to it and replay older games to see the improvements. I sold my retro game collection of the NES, SNES and Gameboy. Kept the N64, PS 1,2,3 and 4. I know some would call that crazy but I never played those games anymore and my kids have zero interest in those old consoles. Plus I have all the games on the minis.

@get2sammyb @RoomWithaMoose I think a All-stars could really work well this time to be honest, especially now they can get Astro Bot as the main character in their promotion.

Sony has enough franchises they are not using, Astro bot proved how many they have. It they throw all those in the mix and do their best to get some third party franchises in the game it could be really successful. Smash bros had always been a celebration of Nintendo's past. PlayStation should treat it as the same.

I enjoyed All -stars, the only thing I disliked was that you had to finish your opponent with a special move.

I would love to have the uncharted and last of us cards, but I'm not playing the game so really no use for them.

Square-enix thought rebirth would immediately sell the same amount as remake on the PS4. What they forgot was that the PS5 didn't had the same amount of units sold and that they lost a big part of the fans, because of weird story choices.

@cburg if it shouldn't be exclusive because everyone can watch the movies then from now on Nintendo shouldn't keep Mario and Zelda as an exclusive anymore. Everyone can watch the Mario movie and next year the Zelda movie. It's developed and payed for by a Sony studio, that's why this marvel title is exclusive. Xbox has a Blade game in development as exclusive, if it's still in development though. Maybe Wolverine will be released on PC after a while.

There were some solid titles shown, don't get the complaints. We get multiple showcases throughout the year instead of the normal two times of the past and on top of that slot of big developers also have their own showcases recently where they also show the games. On top of that, almost everything is leaked before it's even showed, spoiling pretty much every possible big surprises.

Off course I would love to see more first and second party games, because we know those are almost always top titles. Hopefully we see more of those at the next state of play.

@PuppetMaster that's from the new VR update, you also need the newest Eve dual sense controller for it.

@KawakiisaFraud Final Fantasy tactics remaster was announced during the June state of play, they are not skipping PlayStation events.

Wishlist: FFVII part 3, new uncharted or remake of the first, revival of old IP made by a third party developer.

Looking forward to see what they will show.

This is one of the game movies I just don't see working out. With uncharted and the last of us I could see the potential, whether they are good or not is up for debate, but with death stranding I don't see it yet.

Maybe if they use different characters in the death stranding it could be interesting, the way they should have gone with the last of us.

@katamariUK I wouldn't be surprised if they did though 😂

It's actually hilarious that they have the same type of game in development at the same time. What are the odds of that. Some of those designs are really close to the pokemon counterparts to be fair, I can understand Nintendo wanting those designs changed.

They must be playing Call of Duty now, those skins are distracting.

@antlion Nintendo sues over gameplay patents, wich they didn't create. I also said I understand why Nintendo sues over the design since some are really close to original Pokemon designs.

There is a different in the case of this though. They created this and went to Sony to ask to release this under the horizon ip. Palword didn't do this with Nintendo. If Genshin had so many similarities they could have sued them, but there is one big difference. The Zelda franchise, even if changed, is still of the highest quality, while pokemon is far away from it. They can't risk the competition with Palword.

And yes I stand with my first my previous post, that I hope none will win. Best is if both change game those designs, so they don't resemble the same and so both can excitst. For both this game as with Palword.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare @Oram77 he was also interested in making a Castlevania game. I doubt he is making that but it would be interesting if he makes something in that dark medieval setting.

That's actually a really cool addition. Enjoyed the PSone racing game.

@Northern_munkey it's to bad the actors had that impact on you. But if it doesn't feel good it doesn't feel good. Maybe it will change in the future, and you get to enjoy the games then.

This is what is better in games like uncharted where the characters don't look exactly like the actors and only do the voices. If real life actors do something you don't stand by it's easier to separate them and still enjoy the game.

'm having a lot of fun with the demo. Great to read the complete game is good. But man, sometimes there's so much going on 😄 I must be getting old

That opening shot! I think half the time I'll spend playing this game will be spent just staring at the environments.

@RoomWithaMoose those are valid questions. Sales numbers are not to hard to find as most companies and stores need to be open about that. I don't believe in kings, they cost to much money 😄

@RoomWithaMoose it says "thus far". It will have the same source as every other source of sales numbers, just because it doesn't serve your perspective of king Nintendo rules all doesn't means it isn't accurate. PlayStation has always been strongest in Europe, so it isn't that weird. It won't make the Switch 2 any less of a console.

Are any of these games even popular on mobile? I would play FF VII ever crisis and first soldier on the PS5 if it gets released on that but not on a mobile.

@Flaming_Kaiser looking at the last Nintendo direct, they really love paid DLC, nearly every title had a announcement of paid DLC coming. The worst thing in my opinion was DK Bananza DLC of 20 after not even two months while asking 70 for the game. Locked DLC or paid DLC before, at launch or shortly after shouldn't excist. Developers are withholding content at purpose to get more money for less.

I haven't watched anything from this game before, so I decided to look up some videos. If you would tell me, without any knowledge beforehand, that Sony made a spin-off for Horizon and that it takes place in a different region I would have believed that. It looks very similar, even the way how the scanning of the environment looks and all. It's incredible dumb to copy it like this especially after trying to get the rights to make a game of the IP.

Sounds like a great demo, going to check this out. The game looks great.

We all know it's going to be Dwayne Johnson with a Batman voice

The amount of hype this game has been getting for years would normally kill a game by default. But I have a feeling GTA VI will live up to that hype.

@LikelySatan both did come back to their senses fast when the door hit their face though. PS3 ended strongn in the end. Maybe it will be the same with Nintendo

@antlion i think that lawsuit is still going, last thing I read is that Tencent removed things from the game website. But I honestly hope it will go nowhere as well, the same as Nintendo's lawsuit. Yes it looks similar but where can you draw a line when it comes to the same concepts etc. If everyone needs to sue dacht other over that, then Sega can have a field trip with animal game mascots.

@antlion as for as I know none, but if they can use this they won't stop there. They will eventually use this against their competitors, and even the biggest fans know this even if they will never acknowledge that. Because Nintendo are saints in the eyes of fans.

I don't care about Palword personally, I think it would have been a game fast forgotten without this attention it is getting now. But if Nintendo wins this it will open a Pandora's box Wich will eventually create a threat to creativity and innovation cause everyone can get a patent and sue each other.

@TrollOfWar never knew that. If the sales for DQ don't meet expectations Square-enix can always sue Nintendo.😂

@antlion I understand that the sue for those designs, some are wat to close to the pokemon designs, and everyone knows that is exactly what they were aiming for making those designs. But to register pattents on gameplay s mechanics not even created by yourself and using these goes to far imo.

Nintendo also needs to ask themselves if this is worth it. They are making Palword really big and more popular with this. This game wouldn't have been on the radar of so many without this attention.

@LikelySatan they've always been like this. Whenever they're on top, they think they can afford to show their true colours

Well deserved, a brilliant game.

@Balaam_ that has to be one of the most sick and twisted trophies out there. I only managed to get around a hundred jumps. Knowing SE it will be in the remake with maybe some twists.

@TruestoryYep different artsyyle doesn't mean more creative. 2D Mario always play the same with some minor tweaks. Same goes for 3D. Mario has the same three jumps, punches, kicks, butt stomps and dives since Mario 64.

Zelda changed up the formula since breath of the wild, before that they sticker with the same formula for both 2d and 3d Zelda's. They even dedicated an entire game, skyward sword, so they can rehash the same vilian and story over and over.

God of War changed up it's complete style and gameplay with the first God of War on PS4. Donkey Kong bananza style gameplay, breaking everything you see, has been done before by others and not to mention it has the same pallet as odyssey.

Again I'm not saying Nintendo games aren't great, I grew up with Nintendo from the nes days, but let's not claim Nintendo is the most creative, because they're not, neither is.

@Max_the_German i hate to burst your bubble as you seem to be a big Nintendo fan but , Nintendo is the least creative of all. They have been pushing out the same games in the same IP's since late 90's. Great games but they are mostly the same.

Tears of the kingdom was a clone of breath of the wild with banjo kazooie nuts and bolts mechanics. It wasn't a creative effort. It's a great game though. Mario bros wonder is creatively not that different from other 2d Mario, yes it's the best since world but not creative. Donkey Kong bananza on the other hand does fall in that category. It was a fun and different game for Nintendo. But nothing that hasn't been done before.

I'm not bashing on Nintendo as they make amazing games but saying those games are more creative then Sony's first party is wrong. Both make creative games in different ways. As I said before in a post, neither is the creative leader.

@Max_the_German they released more games then Returnal. But to be fair, none of the big three are the creative leader.

It's great news they return to their strengths, better late then never.

Seems like 2026 is the year where PlayStation first party is really going to shine again.

Love the style, this just looks like a really great remake. Keep the things that made it great and update it to modern standards. If only they had done this with FFVII. We would have had the full experience back on the PS4.

Best news. Just let it release on PS5 please

Hopefully they won't downgrade the game to much so the Switch 2 can handle it.
