@BonezKnowz That's good spot mate. I won't be doing much gaming over the weekend so I'll wait to see what Days of Play brings first. But thanks for letting us know.
I think people put way too much stock into internet outrage that just colours their perception. Sony for me have a very good lineup of games this year. God of War Sons of Sparta Marathon Saros Kena: Scars of Kosmora Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Marvel's Wolverine And that's what should matter most to us.
People keep accusing Sony of "abandoning their IPs." But that's because they allowed there studios to move onto new projects. People forget that these studios may not want to return to the older IPs anyway.
For the poll I chose Gravity Rush, Motorstorm and other for PlayStation All Stars.
I know People Can Fly studios are making a game for Sony based on a existing IP. Infamous could be that. I would be pleasantly surprised because I figured that because Sony have the Spider-Man games that they wouldn't need another superhero sandbox game.
This is why Sony won't abandon their live service plans, if they can get an evergreen title that can hold it's own ear to those games they will be making a lot of money.
Rahul Kohli came across very well in this. You can tell that this was more then just a job for him. And the angrier tone for the character makes sense when you know the story.
I'm waiting to see what veteran Forza players say because critics loved 5 but players had the same impression I had which was that it was fun but it got very repetitive once you were done with the main campaign.
I don't think there will be one till June. Most we'll get is a Wolverine SoP.
"Unless it breaks around seven years of tradition, Sony will host a State of Play showcase in the next couple of weeks."
Last year's State of play was in June.
@Fiendish-Beaver I think of that now and then, the premier league gets hyped up as the be all and end all but the harsh reality is clubs like ours struggles to get half a dozen wins together. At least in the championship you're more competitive.
I actually started learning Japanese on Duolingo and their system of language is a lot different to English that it's no wonder that things get misinterpreted.
For whatever reason Housemarque's games just don't seem to find a big audience. I don't want Sony's studios to become a Marvel factory but I think there perfect for a Doctor Strange game.
Besides if this company's numbers can be a bit sketchy then is it really wise to be posting an article about it when many are going to take it as fact?
@get2sammyb What worries me though is that all they've talked about in terms of modes is online and Episodes. If that's all there is at launch then it's going to be pretty bare bones.
It's no different then Guilty Gear really. ArcSys aren't really known for their campaigns. Hopefully there will be an arcade mode, though it probably won't cos of the team structure. It would be just 4 matches and the champion. Most of the budget would have gone on characters and stages. I think the BlazBlue games had a sort of rogue like mode that I think would suit this game.
I just hope Sony realise that to appeal to a casual audience, you need a good amount of content.
It'll be interesting to see how many vote for Selene. Personally I think she's a worser person then Arjun. It's just her backstory is more well hidden.
As for the overall game, it's excellent but I would like to see Housemarque move on from the formula now and onto something else.
@DarianStarfrog I've finished it and as expected the usual lot were dumping on it for depicting a same sex relationship albeit in audio log form. If that's an issue for them then I pity them for being so bitter.
We have people that keep saying about how long games take to make but at the same time will not give any kind tech a chance to help with that. Yes there are legitimate concerns when it comes to AI (Jobs, environment etc) and frankly legislation is needed for certain aspects. But we can't be witch-hunting everything just because it's different.
I love how people immediately think that IP preservation is about just releasing old games when in reality it's about sure that source codes and documentation are preserved.

Re: PlayStation's Huge Days of Play Sales Begin Next Week, Reportedly No PS5 Console Discounts
@BonezKnowz I should have made my comment more clear. My regular duelsense has the stick drift, so I don't have an Edge yet. Sorry for the confusion.
Re: Did You Get In? Horizon Hunters Gathering PS5 Beta Invites Rolling Out
No email yet but I probably won't be able to take part anyway now that I've booked a last minute trip to London for sporting reasons.
Re: Reaction: Sony's Big State of Play Must Deliver as PS5 Perception Sinks to an All-Time Low
I think people put way too much stock into internet outrage that just colours their perception.
Sony for me have a very good lineup of games this year.
God of War Sons of Sparta
Marathon
Saros
Kena: Scars of Kosmora
Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls
Marvel's Wolverine
And that's what should matter most to us.
Re: PlayStation's Huge Days of Play Sales Begin Next Week, Reportedly No PS5 Console Discounts
I'm hoping for a Edge discount. My current controller has terrible stick drift on the right one.

@Fiendish-Beaver Hey mate I'm just glad you engaged us with good grace. Over on Twitter it's absolute cesspool.

Re: Marvel Rivals Goes Wild with Ferocious New Character in Season 8 on PS5
Marvel Snap introduced me to some of Marvel's obscure characters including Devil Dinosaur. Shame that Moongirl isn't incorporated into his gameplay.

My favourite puzzle series, after the football last night I needed some good news.
Re: Saros PS5 Sales Estimates at 300k, Selling Slower Than Returnal on a Bigger Install Base
For whatever reason Housemarque's games just don't seem to find a big audience. I don't want Sony's studios to become a Marvel factory but I think there perfect for a Doctor Strange game.

Re: PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Has a 10-Hour Single Player Story, But It's a Comic with No Gameplay

Re: PS5 Fighter Marvel Tokon Has a 10-Hour Single Player Story, But It's a Comic with No Gameplay
@Drnsnsr The weird thing is that Dispatch had no fail states either with it's QTEs yet that part largely got ignored
