Funny that they all got buffs while fixing the issue and none got a nerf. I like Asuka's broad shoulders, it makes her stand out, hopefully the adjustments don't lean her down to looking the same as the other women.
While in the topic of changing character models, can we get some more diversity of muscle mass and body builds? Ciri and Asuka deserve rockhard 6-packs!

I expect this just an announcement for new NUSA merch and maybe a Myers statue to go with the Songbird and Reed statues they already sell (sold?) in their store. (screw Myers and the FIA)

If it's a patch then PLEASE be an upscalling update to FSR3.1 for consoles. Enough with FSR2 & the godawful ghosting with motion-blur off.

Maybe it's time to cancel this game and let them try again with another project. Something the team that's still there can get behind rather than being forced to keep reworking this thing now that the minds behind it all left with their golden parachute.

looks like a "so bad it's good" dub, like some of the old kung fu movies have. If you're not bothered by ruining what's meant to be a serious experience, this could be a nice way to play through the game and laugh a little.

That's Red Hood?! Joker or Jason have been hitting the gym!

@WhoderMan Shai Matheson is playing Batman

Viewfinder! I've been meaning to get that. Really solid month between that and Psychonauts, I'd guess everyone that wanted to has already bought Stardew Valley at this point.

this really should have been a 2-for-1 pack with a new GOW2 remaster & called the "Maria Collection".

A Persona 2-like, make that the next hit genre. The game looks great, hopefully the extra time to polish it up will work in the game's favor.

Cross-media potencial? Make a Puppeteer stop-motion film & hire Laika to do it! Then in the meantime remaster the game for ps5.
I think building more all-ages ip is the route forward if they want that explosive perpetual money maker like a Mario, Fortnite or Minecraft. Last of Us, Horizon, Ghost of, God of War, & Uncharted can’t fill that space, they’re too teen & up oriented. That means finding a way to make Astrobot and Ratchet & Clank sell big numbers, put MediaMolecule back on Tearaway & LBP.

@Stickleman thank you!

I wish the review covered how the game plays on base PS5, at least a bit at the end. Going by the comments it seems it's not great, maybe some patches down the line will fix it.

I'd like a mix of gameplay styles. Like a Legacy+ where you keep the old camera angles, but gain the new movement options. Like the 3D Snake Eater did back in the day with adding the crouch walk.

It's never a good choice to announce a game when all that exists is a good pitch and a CGI video. It will be 4 to 5 years before it releases.

@lazarus11 that's your opinion, but the overall reception to the film has been stellar.

Seems to me that Sony Pictures just has 0 faith in their animation department, they don't believe in their ability to succeed with original properties.The live action people are putting dogshit like "Kraven" & "Harold and the Purple Crayon" in theaters to lose tons of cash, but great movies like "Mitchell's vs the Machines" and "K-Pop Demon Hunters" get offloaded to Netflix for a quick buck, those are clear cut examples of how messed up their priorities are.

It looks great!

$30?! For 6 chars, 1 of them is a repeat just with a different powered-up state & a white suit instead of black, on a 5yo game… crazy stuff. Sad part is I’m sure it will sell a bunch to the base that still plays it.

Been thinking, is this the longest supported base Musuo game? Not counting enhanced editions, probably.

I think the weight of franchise expectations is just too big and Take-Two might be better off dropping the "Bio" from the name, like Bioshock did to Systemshock and trying for more of a thematic sequel type thing, call it Psychshock or something.

Just do some Persona 1, 2 and 2-2 remasters, please. No need to remake them fit into the P3 mold, just a simple graphical clean up with much needed QoL features would be fine. Can even sell them as a "Persona Origins Collection" for $60 and make plenty of money.

All the reports have made clear that EA just doesn't like Dragon Age, at best they're indifferent to it. They kinda let it keep going at because a part of BioWare does like working on it and it means there's usually something cooking when droughts seem incoming, but they'd rather just bury it if it were up to EA leadership.

@JuiceboxMeister yes, forcing an EA account have been standard practice for a while. I have a similar issue in that I linked PSN to a EA back in the late PS3 or early PS4 days and I no longer have access to it, though luckily EA hasn't forced me to try and reconnect, it's just kept trucking along all these years.

EA is basically the only service I know where you can't re-link an account. Even Blizzard just forces a 6 month hiatus before you can re-link accounts, learned the hard way when Overwatch finally got cross-saves.

weird to announce the whole 2026 roster, but only 1 2025 character. We all know one of them has to be Vivi

I get they mean that it's reaching a massive zeitgeist worldwide, but it's weird to see it talked like that when they've owned Aniplex for 30 years, ran Funimation for like 12 years, stand behind some of the major anime hits of the past 20 years (including FullMetal Alchemist, SAO and Demon Slayer), and helped kickstart the careers of famous VA's (ej.Troy Baker). Seeing the Aniplex & Funimation logos when starting a new show meant a quality series & Eng dub to me.

According to the source website that 36 chapters + a longer annual. Solid value! Injustice can feed this line for a while if they stick to Year X editions.

Gold and Mythologies are the most likely candidates. Hold back Special Forces for Vol 2 to make a nice cut-off between pre-2000 and post-2000 MK

David is showing boobs, but Lucy is fully covered. Who picked the art for this? Gotta aim for horny on both sides to maximize interest.
the lack of a V body pillow is disappointing. FemV on one side MaleV on the other, wearing only the Samurai jacket on top. That's easy money right there.

They really gave up halfway through designing V, the hair and eyes look wrong, at least the others look better. Just a real shame about the background on all of them.

Capcom has to either create a proper open-world tuned fork of REngine (ideally with engine updates for both MHWi & DD2) or drop it altogether for another solution. It's just not working & they're starting to pay the price for it with long-term sales floundering after a strong start.

Guessing the CP77 ones are going to be the PC avatars since I think those never released on consoles, same for Diablo 4. GoW and Hogwarts already released a ton of free avatars so I wonder if these will be new or a rereleases for the bundle? I don't think Twisted Metal has added avatars since PS3 era so those could be exciting!

Game looks fun-ish, in a janky AA sense. The story seems intriguing, with lots of potential if the writers really want to dive deep, and dinosaurs are always a plus. It just needs to be fun to play.
2 thoughts: 1) I hope you can change the camera angle, I get they want to sit it just bellow where the butt ends, but it looks too low in certain scenes there. 2) Really hope the main game outfits feature color options, as I'm not fond of the "all black from hair to toe" look on the main catsuit. Given how dark the game looks, it even detracts from their goal of showing off the meticulously sculpted butt.

Nice Alien reference with that "white tanktop + white panties" look.

Praying for an anime adaptation next. lol

On a serious note, while expensive this could be a really nice to have for writers, script enjoyers & people that just enjoy the BTS stuff. The 3 game scripts could provide insight into writing process, page to screen translation, how Druckman's style evolved over the course of a decade, and how Gross' input changed Part 2 (as Druckman wrote the first 2 scripts alone). Depending on how they write you could get og intent on certain characters, scenes and interactions before the rest of the creative process switched things around.

EDIT: can't tell if the comments are taking the piss (as the title is doing) or genuinely complaining about a nice little merch book that amounts to ND sending the scripts to Dark Horse and them handling the rest.

Big news confirming that they’re keeping CoD at $70 this year too. Was feeling confident that would def get the bump too.

After Avowed coming & going, trying to sell this at $80 seemed crazy. Could have tried to get an E33 reaction by going $50, maybe $60, hoping that helps it sell better.

That looks sick! Blood, gore, nudity and BDSM motifs are a big part of the franchise, so hope they don't compromise to make it more marketable. Getting Bradley back already makes it special!

I'm a little surprised they didn't go with the reboot Cenobites, which was a solid revitalization of the franchise, but I get why they chose to go with the more recognizable take; specially with the planed sequel yet to materialize. Those 1st 2 movies are so good I can't complain about going back to what they did thematically and aesthetically.

Since Duskbloods is already a new IP, I think it would be something more certain to balance that risk. Could revive an old franchise, like King's Field or Echo Night, remaster some old games, or something Armored Core related, as said in the article.

It's weird getting a "fish out of water guy without powers" movie as a sequel to the "fish out of water guy without powers" movie from last time. It's part 2, we should hit the ground running not redoing the last flick!

Glad they went with unknown's, this is the type of franchise that can build careers, and I'm certain Ganondorf will be a big name to balance it out. Not sure about the Link actor, need to hear his most obnoxious "well excuse me, Princess" before I feel confident in him.

"Problematic age gap" discourse is going to haunt this movie all the way up to release, even though they're certainly not going to be a couple in this.

PC keeps getting FSR, DLSS and XESS updates to the latest versions and consoles are still stuck on FSR2. I pray that it's just something they overlooked and we actually get updated to 3.1 too.

I'm surprised it took them this long to implement it, this seems like it would have been an obvious value add for the Remaster. As long as it's done with care it should be a really nice way to play it. I still think Beyond's chronological order is the way to go if you want to understand the story, even if it's lazily done and doesn't account for simple stuff like tutorial placements, as it just jumps too much around Jodie's life to make much sense or events to have real impact.

Maybe not the intended and ideal way to play, but I bet this mode here will be great for Abby's character. As it's easier to enjoy what they're doing with her when the change isn't abrupt halfway through. The tv show in particular would have greatly benefited from this approach as it better suits the medium.

It's going to be another 7-Village case where Chris was playable for a little bit, but with Leon. Hope all the Racoon City leads gets a little spotlight and not just Leon.
The series kinda taking place in real time does mean that the old guard is quickly aging out of lead roles, need to build up a new class of characters to carry the next couple of decades, right now that's Grace and Rose. I guess they have the weird thing going on with Jill's aging to keep her as an open option going forward.

@get2sammyb I need Vega & his swimsuit in the game, asap!

I just want some new BlazBlue related thing.
At this point maybe just a couple BlazBlue guest characters in Strive could be interesting, it would undoubtedly be Ragna or Noel, but I'd love seeing more unique (to play) characters like Nu-13 or Hakumen.

Could have sworn I read an article about Death Stranding also getting an anime adaptation. Love the game, but this is quickly becoming too much.

Raised by Wolves was fine, some pretty interesting ideas that just felt underutilized, at least in S01 never bothered with S02.

I believe it, it's big turbulent times for WB and all the big media conglomerates will be testing the waters. That said, it's doubtful WB would be interested in another merger or buyout. This is the chunk of WBD that they expect to keep on swimming, succeed and grow, while the tv portion (left with the biggest chunk of the crippling debt) will sink and eventually sold for parts.

If anything Sony should have bought Monolith Soft from them after the shutdown, like the PUG guys did with Tango Gameworks.

I bet when it releases later this year it will be as Early Access rather than a proper 1.0 release.
It's just releasing after a lot of turmoil and failures from the live-service division so whatever good faith there was early in the push is long gone. Sony cutting Concord's cord in a month rather than giving the team a chance to right the ship would also deter the doubtful from putting money forward early on. The only way Sony gives them a chance is through an Early Access release that would give them breathing room to find an audience.

look how the massacred my girl! (they gave her shoes)

I'd guess his fear is more that he over-corrected with making it more approachable when DS1 was too abstract (story-wise) & he doesn't like making games like that. His last easily approachable game was MG2 (again, story-wise).

I ADORE the puppet characters! really gorgeous art direction is hard carrying my interest. Game-play wise, it looks like Skull & Bones with turn-based land combat attached.

MGS Collection Vol.2 announcement would be ideal here.
I hope PW, GotP, and TPP are the 3 main games in it, while Twin Snakes, GZ, Revengeance, Acid, Acid 2 and PO/+ round out the package as the nice to haves.

I'd imagine a Castlevania 3D Collection could be also announced, with Lords of Shadow trilogy, Legacy of Darkness, Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness, and Judgement too. Completing the series ports into modern systems.

Games looks very good!

Crazy how after the GTA6 delay the backhalf of the year is starting to get very populated, very fast.

Really hope the protagonist can talk in this one, I like Rick & Morty humor, but the game forgot the fun in that show comes from the banter between characters and not just Rick monologuing for 30 minutes at a time. Your characters should vocally respond to whatever nonsense the gun and knife are saying from time to time.

Crisol is giving Spanish Bioshock vibes, which is no bad thing. Gunplay just looks a bit too clunky to be enjoyable, but that can be fine tuned.
