@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.
Does Jason (I block everyone on Twitter who has a different opinion) Schreier write about anything other than studio crunch? If he thinks it's bad at ND he wants to look at Japan and especially China.
Starfield is the ultimate example of Phil Spencer's hubris. He acted all coy in interviews when it came to exclusivity (case by case) and other such BS. But we all know what he really wanted was to outspend the competition, keep all the IPs they bought for themselves, dump them all on Game Pass and change consumer's buying habits forever. And now one Activision purchase later his platform has seen hardware rapidly decline, game pass price increases while the sub base has stagnated and not one of their games had looked like a GOTY contender. It's a wonder how he's still in the job.
When it comes to awards for best "indie" game it should be games that are self published. Because they self financed everything so you can't get more independent than that.
It's not surprising we're getting to the point now where all the people who started up these old studios are looking to retire either because they feel they've done all they can or there's no way further up the corporate ladder.
It was a very "now in development and we're recruiting" trailer so we'll see. If it has good producers and management then yeah I can see it coming out before then.
@HonestHick I'm referring to @oram77 first comment but then you got all judgemental. If you didn't want so called "defenders" come after you then maybe stop judging a game before it's even come out.
Right now Tokon needs a bit more time, quite a lot in the community aren't happy with the gameplay. Auto combos are too good, defensive mechanics are a bit undercooked, tagging doesn't give much reward like the game doesn't know if it wants to be a 4v4 or 1v1.
Though, according to Dusk Golem, what was being worked on at Deviation Games hasn't been turned into something else; it's now died completely as a "full-on cancelled game". So that would imply that Dark Outlaw Games (which is made up of a fair amount of the talent that were at Deviation) isn't making something similar.
I just hope Sony don't skimp on battery because it's been getting out of hand with gaming devices. 2 hours battery for a handheld is unacceptable, at that point your just watching a percentage counting down rather than gaming.

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
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: 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: 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: Starfield PS5 Announcement Imminent as Bethesda Shows Big Changes Behind-the-Scenes
Starfield is the ultimate example of Phil Spencer's hubris. He acted all coy in interviews when it came to exclusivity (case by case) and other such BS. But we all know what he really wanted was to outspend the competition, keep all the IPs they bought for themselves, dump them all on Game Pass and change consumer's buying habits forever.
And now one Activision purchase later his platform has seen hardware rapidly decline, game pass price increases while the sub base has stagnated and not one of their games had looked like a GOTY contender.
It's a wonder how he's still in the job.
Re: Talking Point: With Expedition 33 Winning Best Indie Game, What Does 'Indie' Mean to You?
When it comes to awards for best "indie" game it should be games that are self published. Because they self financed everything so you can't get more independent than that.

Re: Bungie's Marathon Locks In March 2026 Release Date on PS5, Priced at $40
That probably explains why Saros was pushed back. Sony not wanting to stack their releases so close to each other.
Re: 'How Do We Help Her Evolve?': Crystal Dynamics on Reimagining Tomb Raider's Lara Croft for a New Era

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2025?
@Zaczumba Total Warhammer was their game I think.
Felt the reveals was very lacking, especially the last game, Tomb Raider, Control or Divinity would have been more fitting for that position.

Re: Ex-Yakuza Director Reveals Gang of Dragon, Which Is Basically a New AAA Yakuza Game

Re: Evo 2026 Games Revealed, Lack of Marvel Tokon Raises PS5 Release Date Questions
@PuppetMaster I agree about the parroting but I do feel some of the views are valid. Still it's a long way out so plenty of time to tweak things.

@Fighting_Game_Loser This is my thought as well.
