@1970sGamer Are you seriously suggesting that Tati Gabrielle is "ugly?"

@Gaia093 Sorry but aren't we getting Saros next week? That doesn't look like a live service game.

Can't put the genie back in the bottle, they've already conditioned people in expecting their games on other platforms and they will find that people won't be rushing out to buy a Helix either.
It feels like a big PR exercise to try and get fans back, heck I don't even think the exclusivity thing was one of the key points in the memo which tells me that it isn't that big of a priority.

As long as Atari continue to let these studios work to bring old games back then it'll be great acquired.

This is something that Jim Ryan will never get credit for, he may have made questionable decisions but he knew that putting AAA games day one on subscription services made no business sense.
Microsoft's whole strategy was to buy studios and publishers in bulk so they could flood game pass with near endless content in the hope that people's buying habits changed forever. And no one else would have been able to compete, Xbox executives straight up said they wanted to buy Sony our of the industry. Xbox are better served just being 3rd publishers at this point.

@Flaming_Kaiser @PuppetMaster I'm glad that you both enjoyed it. I did enjoy the Castlevania series by the same people like.

@get2sammyb Not me sniggering.

I don't really like this rumoured dlc lineup, especially when there were rumors a while back saying the likes of Makuto, Q and R Mika were going to be added. Would have much preferred that lineup.

I heard that the first season wasn't very good according to fans of the franchise.

Starting off on PC is a bit of an odd move when I imagine most people into Toei will on Switch and PlayStation.

I'd say the first one needs the remaster treatment the most though it's probably AC2 there doing since it's regarded as one of the best.

@SMJ At least there regurgitating the same opinions over again especially when none of us know what's going on behind the scenes but take Yoshida's word as gospel. And just blame Jim Ryan and Herman Hulst for PlayStation apparently being in a bad place.

I've been seeing too much coverage of Mouse: P.I. For Hire because I misread that as Cheese Mate.
Which makes it sound like Wallace & Gromit have gotten even more northern.

@Flaming_Kaiser Not all live service games have gambling mechanics mate.

@Flaming_Kaiser Live services have way more potential for healthy profits then an odd indie game.

@Yor-sama Nothing surprises me anymore mate.
In DBZ Abridged, Mr Popo I found to be a bit creepy lol.

This game still getting DLC gives me hope that when Sony said that they "want to support Marvel Tokon for ten years" makes it seem plausible.

The man left a proud legacy. Thanks to him (and others of course) manga and anime culture became far more accepted in the west.

The big thing I'm hoping is that NTE is a big success that it makes Hoyoverse drop the 50/50 on pulls.

@Nyne11Tyme What the hell are you on about? We only just had Astro bot less than two years ago with development on the next game happening already, plus he's been used for loads of different marketing purposes. So I don't know what you expect.

Tides of Tomorrow looked interesting when it was on a State of Play so hopefully we'll get a review.

Nice to see Ghost and Atomfall getting some recognition for a change.

@DogPark Not going to lie, it was bloody confusing when I first started to play it. But now I play it knowing that I'm not getting every character so I'm ok with it.

@GASEOUS That's really good to know, thanks for telling me.

@Balaam_ That would imply that Bethesda know their s*** is broken to begin with.

Has anyone tried World of Horror? I like the works of Junji Ito so game inspired by him interests me but haven't seen too many opinions.

@DogPark "Pity" is a common term in gacha games. In Zenless Zone Zero you can pull an S rank character within 90 pulls, and if you end up very close to 90 total pulls then it's called "soft pity." But Zenless has the 50/50 system where your not guaranteed to get the character you want. If it goes against you then you repeat the process, which could take up another 90 pulls. Though this time you are guaranteed to get the character and this is called "hard pity."

While it's good to have alternatives, I doubt it will capture the kind of player base that MLB has, especially when it's now on all platforms.

My hope is that even if it flops that they persist with the studio. Being based in Canada, Sony can recruit some top developers there since Canada has a lot of studios there.

@Jay767 Yeah I guess that's true.

@Jay767 It does seem like Tekken gets a bit more attention on here then Street Fighter half the time.

I saw that they recreated the scene from the 89 movie where the Joker and his goons destroy an art gallery complete with Prince's Party Man.

@marktehshark69 I very much doubt it, in all likelihood it's probably a new IP.

It always seemed like an odd time to be doing a SoP when they usually have one in May/June time. I Wolverine themed one I'm expecting to happen within the next month.

@Fizza I think that's very unlikely sadly.
@Areus I'm still waiting on the Maximo games

@Areus Maybe with Wild Arms 4 coming there maybe more of a chance now.

Sony finally dug out one of there "for a rainy day" exclusives when they haven't got a 3rd party game to add. So I reckon by about 2035 we'll have the Ratchet and Clank PS2 trilogy and Ico lol

@Northern_munkey Shhhh 😉

Oddest buff patch ever.

Time Crisis must be the May premium game then.

I wish they found room for GTA 4

PS keeps expecting a big sales decline but I'm not convinced it will be that steep. PS5 is still a product that many want with a few big games to come this year that many will want to get it for.

Skeletor probably spending too much time on MoneySupermarket.com so he can feel EPIIICCCCCC!

Hopefully they don't overstretch themselves. I can understand why they don't want to be reliant on just one game to keep them going.

Why are people surprised that a third game is happening, the ending to the second one made that obvious.

@RobN It's what I call a podcast game, just something to play while your mind is on something else.

I'm hoping FuturLab earn enough money from the Powerwash games that they might finally make the third Velocity game.

Crunch I can accept if it's for a short amount of time but not when it's constant and it seriously effects the quality of life of the employers. And even with crunch it doesn't seem to make the games come out any sooner anyway.

The first actor that came to mind for that villain role is Christoph Waltz.

I know people will be frustrated at games being delayed especially if you have no interest in GTA but it's not just other gaming companies that are shifting dates, film companies also don't want to be releasing close to it either. It's all competition for people's time and GTA will dominate that.

As long as it makes navigating the store better then cool. Though tbh I don't think any gaming store is particularly great for that, I learned that ages ago that you basically need to know what your searching for in order to find it.

@Rich33 If they were Pearl Abyss it would be yesterday.
