I think it's pretty cool, there obviously going for a different take on the IP, hence the different art style. I'm still confused by the timing of the announcement though.
K Pop has gotten so huge these past ten years it's crazy. I think Sony should make an action game about K Pop stars fighting hellish monsters, I think the idea is golden.
@MrPeanutbutterz Sadly too many only think AAA or top tier indie games are worth the time. It's the same mentality when a game gets 7 or 8 out of ten and think it's not worth the time.
@get2sammyb The coverage is great once again Sammy. Rain 98 is the one that stood out to me. What is it about Taipei game show that makes you want to go back every year?
I'm glad that the development community is pushing back a bit because it's getting pathetic with the amount of people who gleefully want games to fail. If people spent as much energy talking about the games they do like compared to the ones they hate, maybe online communities wouldn't be such a cesspool.
I suspect this is going to be a story where the media are completely against him but a lot of gamers actually agree with him.
We saw with how certain outlets treated Hogwarts Legacy that many weren't willing to review or even cover a game in isolation because of outside forces that weren't connected to the game.
And I think a reviewer online even recently admitted that they shouldn't need to complete games in order to review them.
With things like that, it's no wonder that a lot of gamers lose trust in reviewers.
Also Jeff Gertzmann's reply is disappointing considering he famously got sacked from GameSpot because he didn't give Kane & Lynch a high score despite the website getting sponsored by it. Which is surly confirming Swen's point of people looking for trusted outlets.
@Cry_Zero Because randoms have infinite time to do the work. Sony have to assign employers and a budget. That's if it's a priority to begin with. Also Sony have to deal with licensing and legalities as well, it's not just the technical side that's the problem.
It all looks promising but I wish the anime aesthetic was in the actual racing part too. A bit like Auto Moblista back in the day but hopefully better.
@Tobimune That would need a budget of like $200m to do GoW on that scale, which is never going to happen for a TV show, it's why I think Norse is the right choice.
I was hoping it was going to be Graham McTavish but Ryan Hurst is a good choice too. Certainly a lot better then going for someone like The Rock or Dave Baustia. I'm glad that their doing the Norse era because there's far more story to work with that suited for adaptation. The greek game's stories can be told in a tweet if we're being honest.
@Leinad7 It's just at an Estimate to how long I was playing. It just started feeling like the events were just rinsed and repeated too often. I would have preferred more of the Horizon story events then the by the numbers ones.
I mean Sony could have a lot of money out themed plates back at the PS5 launch and they didn't so what makes people think they would do it now for the Pro?
"Stop you big meanies, we've poured billions into AI at the expense of our hard working but still very disposable workforce. So please stop calling it slop, it's very hurtful to my ears when I'm out on my super yacht."
@dskatter The GTA comparison isn't a fair one because they will have a budget reaching $500m and they can afford to take as long as they want. Those are luxuries that no other studio or publisher can afford.
I think it's best to delay for the handheld their making because I want it to be powerful enough to play PS5 games but ideally have a decent battery cos I still think that's where companies skimp on cost.

Re: Sony Finally Confirms Horizon Co-Op Game, Horizon Hunters Gathering for PS5, PC
There's supposed to be a state of play coming soon, so announcing this out of nowhere seems like a weird choice.

Re: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Initial Sales Didn't Meet SEGA's Expectations
I was put off by the price, especially when it sells itself as a big crossover game so the DLC is a big part of it.
Re: 6 PS5 Games That Cut Through the Noise at Taipei Game Show
@get2sammyb The coverage is great once again Sammy. Rain 98 is the one that stood out to me.
What is it about Taipei game show that makes you want to go back every year?

Re: Promising Chinese God of War Game Will Be 'Optimised for PS5 in Collaboration with Sony'
@AhmadSumadi Was thinking the same, there all mythical fantasy hack n slash games.
Re: Unique Twin-Stick Shooter DAMON and BABY Takes Aim at PS5, PS4 in March
I hope it turns out to be good, the FGC got real salty when this was announced because it wasn't Daisuke's next fighting game.

Re: Silent Hill 2, Cronos Studio Seemingly Teasing Its Next Game
I'd be surprised if it's Rule of Rose. It's probably another Layers of Fear.

Re: New Witcher Game Announced, But You Won't Play It on PS5
They should do a WWE spin off and call it Reigns: Roman Reigns.
Re: Highguard Doesn't Do a Concord, But Reception Is Lukewarm
@Anke I respectfully disagree, people already put way too much value in the Steam numbers as it is.

Re: Xbox Will Try to Deliver PS5 Ports on Launch Day More Consistently
I wish they would bring some of their older games over to PS5 as well. Sunset Overdrive and Killer Instinct are the big ones for me.
Re: Wrestler Kenny Omega Brings Street Fighter 6's Alex to Life from 17th March on PS5, PS4
I now want Rainbow Mika to be added with the moveset of WWE's Asuka.
Re: Anime-Infused Arcade Racer Screamer Just Looks Better and Better Ahead of PS5 Release
It all looks promising but I wish the anime aesthetic was in the actual racing part too. A bit like Auto Moblista back in the day but hopefully better.
Re: Marathon's Slick Sci-Fi Visuals Will Look Particularly Crisp on PS5 Pro
@UltimateOtaku91 I have to agree on that mate.
Re: Marathon's Slick Sci-Fi Visuals Will Look Particularly Crisp on PS5 Pro
I just noticed that there's a Marathon wallpaper on the welcome hub now too
Re: Marathon PS5 Officially Dated for 5th March, Up for Pre-Order at $40
I'm looking forward to it. Bungie always make high quality shooters and the art style is cool. It's the business models where they tend to be suss.
Re: Another God of War TV Series Cast Member Has Been Revealed
@Accipitridae I kinda want that now, I mean it isn't more outrageous then when he had Arnold Schwarzenegger as a twin brother?
Re: Amazon's God of War TV Series Casts Its Kratos, Story Setup Revealed
@Dream-CasterX Yes I played them all multiple times thank you very much. Don't know why my opinion invalidates that.

Re: PS3's Sly Cooper Team Shut in Oculus Layoffs, Two Other Devs Closed
@BeyondKnight @Areus Sony might not have wanted them, after all they didn't work with them again after the Order and Sly 4.
Re: PS5 Reportedly Hands Forza Horizon 5 an Additional 5 Million Sales
@Leinad7 It's just at an Estimate to how long I was playing. It just started feeling like the events were just rinsed and repeated too often. I would have preferred more of the Horizon story events then the by the numbers ones.
Re: PS5 Reportedly Hands Forza Horizon 5 an Additional 5 Million Sales
It was my first Forza game and while I enjoyed the first ten hours I played, I found it got repetitive very quickly from that point.
Re: Sony May Be 'Planning Its Entire Calendar' Around GTA 6, Says Jason Schreier
@BrotherFriede God I hope not, that joke got old quick.
Re: Ubisoft, Bandai Namco, More Showing Up for the New Game+ Showcase Today
I turned off as soon as I saw Luke Stephens, can't stand him.
Re: Sony May Be 'Planning Its Entire Calendar' Around GTA 6, Says Jason Schreier
Makes a bit of sense, Sony will go all out on marketing plus they won't want to release any of their games close to it.
Re: 'PS5 Pro Gets the Short End of the Stick Again': Fans Gutted New HYPERPOP Console Covers Don't Support Supercharged System
I mean Sony could have a lot of money out themed plates back at the PS5 launch and they didn't so what makes people think they would do it now for the Pro?
Re: Rumour: Fallout 3, New Vegas Remakes Reportedly Happening as Fallout 5 Is 'Greenlit'
@awp69 For me the guy is a complete joke yet websites still believe his info is more valid than the random "insiders" who always get it wrong.

Re: Going Platinum #6: Everything
Everything was such a strange game yet I was compelled enough to get the platinum about 6 years ago.
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' 20 Most Anticipated PS5 Games of 2026
I think I voted for:
Wolverine
Cairn
Marvel Tokon
Tomb Raider
Saros
I didn't vote for GTA because I don't think it'll come this year.
Re: The Witcher 3 Really Could Be Getting a New Expansion on PS5 in 2026
I think if this exists than I think it could be a standalone expansion so they can get some experience on Unreal Engine 5.
Re: Game of the Year: #1 - Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Considering the amount of good games that didn't make the top ten, shows that it was a good year.
Re: Game of the Year: #2 - Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
@Marquez And a bit of Mexico too. America never comes into it which is ironic considering his opinion.
Re: PS6 Could Be Delayed Due to RAM Price Chaos
@TheArt While true that Rockstar has earned those privileges they are still a law onto themselves.

@SleepyNick There's more to GoY than just the open world.
Re: Game of the Year: #5 - Dispatch
@Stevemalkpus It's almost as if people have different opinions. I mean I'd rather play Sonic Crosswords than Silksong.
Re: Game of the Year: #7 - Lumines Arise
@SeaDaVie After seeing their top ten, I don't think anyone can accuse Push Square of being overly biased.
Re: Game of the Year: #7 - Lumines Arise
@Uromastryx You said it got "exciting" yesterday.
