I'm glad he fought for this cause it really made a big difference in the quality of the game. Like Octopath Traveler 0, this would be the only way people would even give it a chance. And still there are some people who don't want to play either because they are based on a mobile game.
I really hope this game sells very well as I want the sequel. I'm honestly a bit sad/concerned that they weren't already working on the 2nd game given that the story is basically there already.
@Reeneman Currently it is FSR3 so I'm very hopeful that QSSR get added. And the PS5 Pro version already has PSSR so it might not be a big task to put it in for base PS5. Based on Ghost of Yotei it might a good substitute for FSR3.
Im Holding off on this DLC for 2 things: 1. QSSR support on base PS5 2. Till I actually finish the main story and can acess the DLC 😅 (I'm 100hrs in mind you, but not I'm not complaining)
I mean, I'm glad it's not 100 people or more but still this is kinda bad. Why would this need to happen, did they get a smaller budget for the next project? @Get2Sammyb
@ShadowRJ Big fan of Octopath Traveler 2 here. I highly recommend it and OT 0. I've also play Triangle Strategy and The Adventures of Elliot but I did not enjoy them as much as I hoped.
I finished the Ghost of Yotei DLC. It was great revisiting that world again. I downloaded the Belmonts Curse Demo so between that and Most Wanted Mode in Yotei I should be occupied until FF Resonance drops.
Well Ken would know. He caused so much "friction" between PS and game devs with the Cell Processor that it almost tanked the brand and the PS3 was the lowest selling Playstation console.
Man, they went from Crazy October to Mad March. I've been looking forward to this coming to PS5 but these release dates have not been good. Now it's looking to be sandwiched between GOW Laufey and FF7 Revelation. Yikes 😬
I'll be wading into the story depths of Sekigahara along with the Most Wanted Mode in Ghost of Yotei Only 2 more weeks till Final Fantasy Resonance drops!
Very happy the devs are being brought back and another patch is coming. Im hoping for DLC if not a Sequel. I LOVED this game. My favorite new release of 2026 so far.
I've finished the FF Resonance demo and Re-installed Ghost of Yotei and will play some Legends until next week. I also hopped back in HZD Remastered for some trophy clean up last night.
@GirlVersusGame If you haven't already consider watching Cheers (start with Season 6 when Rebecca shows up), Fawlty Towers, Hogan's Heroes, Keeping up Appearances, The Steve Harvey show. Been watching these with the wife and really enjoying them. 😃
@RBMango I think that is the play. Make a name for themselves with a high profile mod project then try to launch an original project. I wonder how they would feel if someone tried to "modd" their original ip project though.
Wooo, Another Friday Night WAYP! I'm STILL playing the delightful Star Wars Zero Company 41hrs in. It's the beat SW game I've played in almost 10 years. Also watching CPL T20 Cricket. After that it will the FF Resonance Demo
@AdamNovice "Death Stranding, Saros and Astro Bot are recent examples of games that didn't do as well as they should have done."
Agreed. DS2, Astrobot and Saros COMBINED haven't sold more than 7 Million copies. E33 has sold more than those games. You would think a game as celebrated as Astrobot and a Kojima joint would sell twice that.
@MaajorVit I would argue that Sony just handed Xbox a lot of debt. They are now funding OD AND Physint, 2 expensive games that Xbox does not have the install base to support. And the games will likey come to PS a year or so later anyway.
@TDHorizon I get what your saying but I wouldn't count the DLCs. By that same logic Killzone had 6 games counting the PSP and Vita Tiltes so it evens out.
Honestly I wish they never started Hunters Gathering, That could have been the Killzone Remake instead and then shift over to Horizon 3. I'd have no problem with that.
@Quintumply Great review! Very true to my experience with the game. A patch is coming next week per the devs Discord so hopefully some of the performance issue will be ironed out. Loving the game though.
Another early post! I'm still playing and loving SW Zero Company and I downloaded the demo from FF Resonance but I won't play it for a while as I want to focus on ZCOM.
Hope everyone is having a great gaming weekend!
Actually I'm glad. Cause I couldn't play this and the Ghost of Yotei dlc AND FF Resonance all in October. Wish it was January instead of March but I'll be patient.
@DennisReynolds Agreed regarding the technical issues. But if 80% of the devs were laid off 3 weeks before launch it makes total sense why. They dint really get to finish thier work. I hope they bring them back to polish it up now.
I'm 18hrs into ZCOM and I'm loving it despite it being my 1st XCOM-like. It's heartbreaking that the studio essentially doesn't function right now but I really hope they can bring back everybody. This deserves to get a sequel!
@Fishmasterflex96 I play a fair amount of games actually. Been honing my taste in gaming for over 3 decades now so I know what I like, And i love Forbidden West 😁
My GOTY in 2022 and still my fav PS5 game to date. IMO the best looking PS5 game out there. (Have you gone diving in the Burning Shores area?) An absolutely fantastic sequel especially gameplay and exploration wise. Sad that we have such a long wait till Horizon 3.
I'm 8hrs into Star War Zero Company that I bought on a whim and wow am I enjoying it! My 1st XCOM-like. This will hold me over nicely till Ghost of Yotei DLC in October.
but if someone else goes to claim the digital license, the original person will have the license taken off them.
So you cant trade in your disc then. If I get some else's disc without them knowing I can essentially revoke their Liscense whenever I want from anywhere in the world.
I'm sure that won't cause any problems at all.

Ghost of Yotei DLC and Final Fantasy Resonance for me.

Kinda makes the code-in-a-box situation make sense. This would take 3 discs otherwise.

It's Final Fantasy Resonance time!
Went put to dinner with the wife and then watched GTO 2026 on Netflix. It's a 3 day weekend for me so I plan to make some good progress in Resonance.
Game on my PushSquare comrades, GAME ON!

Im having alot of fun getting back into this game. And Most Wanted is starting to click. Had that 'one more run' moment the other night.
Re: Star Wars Zero Company Success Allows Dev to Bring Back Staff
So happy this is happening. I hope they can work on some DLC that they can sell. They need/deserve the money.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 652
Been a tough weekend as the wife and I just moved into a new apartment. But once the dust settle I'll be digging into the Ghost of Yotei DLC

Re: Sony Stopped Physint Development Over Budget, Exclusivity Concerns
Gamers: Why is Sony wasting money on Live Service and overpriced Bungie
Also Gamers: Why Didn't Sony waste money on a bloated, over budget milestone missing Kojima game that won't be out for years to come?
Kojima is spreading himself too thin. He's working on 2 games and a movie at once, probably more that we don't know about.

Re: Rumour: Killzone Project in Early Development, Probably a Remake
@Anthony_Daniels I was NEVER one of those people saying that. I honestly think that sentiment was coming g from people with an agenda.
Re: Rumour: Killzone Project in Early Development, Probably a Remake
Could this be the "other project" that Jason Schrier mentioned that is being evaluated alongside Hunters Gathering in December?
Edit: If so that means Horizon 3 is EVEN FURTHER out that we think. That's terrible imo.

100% Star Wars Zero Company for me.
