@belmont The people that say "why Horizon and not Bloodborne" conveniently forget that Horizon is a much bigger franchise.

Sony can afford to wait as long as they want because it just creates demand.

@CielloArc It's just a plane with a PS5 in the background mate.

@PuppetMaster With franchises getting rebooted or reimagined so many times it becomes more of a case of picking your poison.

@PuppetMaster Well that's it, if you aren't aware of different people being Ghost Rider then it probably was confusing.

@PuppetMaster The Ghost Rider in Marvel Tokon is the Robbie Reyes version, I believe he uses a car instead of a bike.

I could have sworn that a Splinter Cell remake was announced years ago.

I watched a video from Super Eye patch Wolf a few years ago about horror media based in liminal spaces, was pretty fascinating. Clearly this game takes us based on that sub genre.

I don't think it's too bad if it makes PS5s more affordable. And options to expand storage should be much cheaper then it was a few years ago.

Tbh I don't care whether it's a State of Play or Showcase as long as good content is shown.

Is that all the Legacy of Kain games available on PlayStation now?

I've just started Act 3 and the hype around it is real.

@Stale-Bread These games haven't been released in any capacity since the PS3 days, some have never got rereleased at all. It's about preserving them for modern systems.

@Get2sammyb That would depend on their emulation, they only just got a PS1 one working and anything from that era onwards tends to be a lot more challenging both technically and legally.

@SMJ I meant more in terms of fidelity, cos sometimes we judge the art style and graphics as the same thing.

In terms of actual graphics, it's easily Horizon Forbidden West and Death Stranding 2.

I'm it's technical performance is compromised by been on so many systems at launch. Rebirth struggled to hold 60fps when they only had PS5 to develop for.

Radac on Twitter compared the graphics to Lazy Town and now I can't unsee it.

My favorite thing about the city of Sapporo is that there's an alley way where it's full of ramen restaurants. I saw a video about it once.. I never felt more hungry afterwards. Lol.

Where is the "No I got it for Christmas" option? 😉

People need to accept that studios want to move on. Sly 3 pretty much ended things where a 4th game was a bit redundant.

Maybe Ristar 2: Ri-sing 😉

@PSX1994 Except he can't act.

My pick for Kratos would be Graham McTavish. He looks great (you don't need a roidy magoo wrestler type) plus he's more importantly got the acting range for it.

@KeAfan7 @Dragoon1994 Gulp This is why I should read before pressing reply.

I expect part 3 to come out early 2027.

Sword of the sea for me. Such a beautiful game that feels so good to play.

This is astonishing that an indie game is causing multiple storefronts to go down. I knew Hollow Knight was quite popular but I never thought it was this popular.

@beltmenot Probably not enough of a player base to make it worth it.

Jeez Angela's design.

She's a pretty good choice imo.

I bet Maximilian Dood gets a code.

So why didn't the Resident Evil games not struggle to sell them? I think it's more to do that Wilds wasn't seen as the step up from World that many were hoping for. Plus despite prioritising PC development, it's technical performance was woeful which would have put many off.

Are people stupid? It's perfectly possible to have two SoPs in the month.

@Dan12836666 They just had one for Ghost of Yotei for goodness sake.

Tokyo game show is towards the end of the month and Sony usually have at least a SoP before that. This Bond SoP is very much fulfilling marketing obligations.

Twitter suggests otherwise lol

I loved Fear Effect back in the day and I was sad that it can never catch a break. The 3rd game Inferno was nearly done but got cancelled after Eidos pulled funding after Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness flopped.
Then a indie studio made FE Sedna but wasn't good, then the remake Reinvented got cancelled too.

@LifeGirl The characters often flirted but it was pretty tame really. It was the marketing that caused the controversy because it laid into the lesbian male gaze angle heavily to the point that it was almost misrepresenting the game.

Shame they didn't pick up From Dust and Housemarque's Outland as well, would have loved for them to get rereleased.

Fun fact: Ace from the Gangreen Gang in Powerpuff Girls had a stint as the band's bass player.

Love Gorillaz but I hate how two members of the band aren't in the music pass as well as only one song despite the pass having 4 pages of cosmetics.

@Oram77 Your not joking. Dare, Dirty Harry, Feel Good Inc, Don't get lost in Heaven? Just absolute bangers.

@Jrs1 That's good, I'm taking that lol

@Dalamar I think it's because every time there some kind of event over the last 5 years so many were demanding to see Silksong so it just got annoying to those that weren't interested in the game to begin with.
People that are wanting a Bloodborne remaster are getting like that as well.

It's the indie GTA6.

@LogicStrikesAgain This is what I've been saying for a long time. Astro Bot by rights should have sold about 7 to 10m copies by now but sadly it hasn't. And yet a lot of commenters on here think Sony should make only make those type of games as well pining for the PS1 days.

@RBMango That's what I was hoping Sony were going to do initially with the live service push, make more unique MP games that stand out. Hopefully that's what they are doing now.

@Klart I've been meaning too, curse of the backlog and all that.

Great preview Sammy and awesome work from Gamescom.
I really hope we can play as the villains too, even if you have to unlock them. Like come on let play as Skeletor and Hodak.

@Puppetmaster I haven't really been a big beat em up fan after the Mega Drive era but these recent games using IPs I've grown up with fit so well that I can't help but just get a bit excited about them.

@Olmaz But yet there's a large market out there that want a collection on their platform of choice where they can just plug and play.

@johnedwin It was a "non negotiable" at the time that if Bungie were to be bought that they wanted full autonomy. It was rumoured that Microsoft wanted to buy them back around the same time but were put off by Bungie's terms as they would have wanted full control.
Sony meanwhile had just missed out on Leyou Technologies to Tencent and were looking for a studio with live service experience, at that point there weren't too many options, either they were already owned by major publishers or had gotten so big that it wasn't worth the investment. So Sony bought Bungie while meeting their terms. Then it came to light about 2 years ago that if Bungie lost a certain amount money over a specific time period, Sony can then take full control (presumably that was an insurance policy for them to protect their investment) which is what's happening now.

@Olmaz Emulation is only for those on PC and have the know how.

@devil76 I mean why not at this point?

@PuppetMaster Awesome that you got what you asked for so quickly lol.
