Acquiescence

I for one am thrilled that 18+ games are finally coming to PlayStation.

@AhmadSumadi It looks like Generative AI, thus it looks terrible.

It's a horrible filter that once you recognise, you can never unsee it.

The real news here is that Microsoft still thinks it's worth engaging in moneyhats. Like, why? Xbox is on the cusp of death at this point.

Wise decision. The strength and value of a console brand is more important than the extra bit of revenue gained from porting games to PC. Sony's in a position where it should always strive to be more like Nintendo than Microsoft when it comes to exclusives.

So you buy one of the best remaster/remake studios in the biz, put them to work on a GaaS project no one wants, and then when that falls through you just unceremoniously shutter them?

This is absolutely disgusting. Remind me how Hermen Hulst has a job exactly?

God I hope Lisa Ann voices Rouge the Bat.

Thank you for bringing Rain98 to my attention. Looks like a big vibe.

Still waiting on that demo that us console plebs apparently weren't esteemed enough to get the same day as PC players.

Can't vote for Once Upon a Katamari or Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo.

@Oram77 There doesn't need to be an exchange; Xbox is multiplatform now. PS6 will get both OD and Physint.

Ubisoft finds new ways to be even more soulless than it already was.

It's so nice when there aren't any attention-seeking insiders around to leak these things. Makes for a nice breath of fresh air.

You can't really go wrong at that price can you. That's less than half the cost of a sandwich at Aldi.

Can't wait for the day AI goes the way of NFTs. Hope it's soon.

Just another example of Microsoft doing what they do best - sucking complete and utter ass.

Hyper Light Breaker is the indie equivalent of Concord. A game no one wanted or asked for.

Hyper Light Drifter was brilliant btw. It's due a replay.

Microsoft sucks in so many different ways. This is one of them.

My condolences Fortnite fans.

It was very very mid. Not fantastic, not terrible, just serviceable.

Saros looks fantastic and Deus Ex Remastered was a nice surprise.

87 on MetaCritic so far. This review seems like a bit of an outlier.

Really looking forward to this one. Seems like it'll be very funny based on the trailers so far.

£16 in the UK apparently. If true, that is insanely good value. If Mario Kart World is on one end of the spectrum (GREED!) then Silksong is on the other end.

Shenmue and Shenmue 2 are still two of the greatest video games ever made.

3 was a little crappy, but I for one hold out hope that 4 will eventually release and be an improvement.

Unfortunately, she said it's a first-shooter shooter, so that proves she's nothing but a fake gamer.

The more that time passes on, the more I understand why Konami cut off ties with Kojima.

The Order: 1911

Most positive PlayStation news of the year so far?

Count me among the people who bought the first game, didn't enjoy it and as a result isn't going to buy the sequel.

Soccer? What are you, dirty Yanks or something?!

What a time to be a Silent Hill fan. We were famished for years and now we're eating again. Can't wait for this and Silent Hill f.

Team Asobi could make a killer Jumping Flash! game. Think Doom meets Samurai Pizza Cats.

This is gonna be one of those games that ends on a bit emotional note isn't it. Like The Last Guardian.

I predict the cyborg girl has to sacrifice herself in order for the guy to get back to Earth.

Is Push Square a horny site now?

I reckon that Cerny fella is a bit of a boffin.

"If you remember the original trailer, it had a contemporary Robin Hood vibe to it, as squads of fashionable rogues robbed from the rich."
Except you're not fighting the billionaires but each other for the billionaires' goods. Presumably while the billionaires are sat in their panic rooms eating popcorn and watching the common people slaughter each other.

The reaction to Fairgames' reveal was somehow even more negative than the reaction to Concord's first proper look (not the burger trailer). That should tell you all you need to know. The game is doomed.

Where is Stray 2. I'm still waiting.

Playing this on console is like sitting down to watch a porno without any of the sex scenes in it.

No Concord in the top ten?

It's one of the greatest games ever made. Of course it's 2024's GOTY.

Been a big Yakuza fan since the PS2 days, and I just could not get into this entry for the life of me, despite it being the most critically-acclaimed one yet. The weak main story is one thing, but the lethargic pacing and the fact that the game is crammed with scene upon scene of characters standing around statically and having conversations that refuse to end just drove me up the wall! There's no sense of urgency to anything that happens in the game. It seems like it was made just to sap as much of the player's time as humanly possible.

I recently played through all of Infinite Wealth, and as a big Yakuza fan, I honestly thought its story was a bit rubbish. Poor pacing, endless chatter and a big plot strand involving one of the main characters that wasn't even resolved.

You get in there, and you make it about Astro Bot.

@LuXifer Could you provide a link to the video please? I'd like to see it. Thanks!

How does Hermen still have his job.

Whoever it was at Sony that caught sight of Concord and thought it looked good enough to buy the actual studio that was making it shouldn't have a job at Sony anymore. That person or those people are a massive liability to the gaming division and their judgment can't be trusted.

This is vile. Absolute degeneracy.

Do they do Karlach sex dolls as well?

What a shambles. I hope Sony cools it with the pointless remakes after this and Horizon.
