@iNightfarer this is the most logical reference to “resources” I’ve seen on this site! Maybe their plan was to release those games multi platforms so they wouldn’t have to release so many games. But now, the backtracking on that they can just maybe start releasing many first party games again.
Is there a sign up sheet for people who have no interest in a game but hope with everything in their heart for the game to fail? Because I wanna join this group! They just seem so miserable and things are going so well for me right now that I need something to bring me down.
Wake up in thr morning, turn on my console, scroll to what I wanna play and have at it. Then finish the session, upload data, and continue away from home on my Portal. Yeah, physical is definitely the way to go… 😒
OK. I’m usually one of the contrarians here. Always speaking for the industry trying to find the next big thing. But at this point just stop with the chase for next Overwatch/Fortnite/Marvel Rivals. I feel like people are not wanting to play these games as a for of rebellion against the craze.
@Balaam_ I mean, are the F bombs in this setting what lead you to question the realism and accuracy? Not the superhuman grandpa, mystical elves, or sentient disembodied head?
@nessisonett lol the best thing I’ve seen about He-Man was some guy mad that the upcoming film referred to a character using pronouns and the guy online say He-Man doesn’t use pronouns. Really?! 🤣
Shout out to @get2sammyb for putting me on Double Dragon Gaiden. Having fun with it solo. Also playing SCARS Above. 5/10 game but mostly because it’s very limited. Just doesn’t have much behind the story and what you can do. Gameplay is great though.
Also, I got Split Fiction for Valentines Day from my wife. Started it with my son now that fool is never home to play with me.
There hasn’t been a single Sony primary single player game I’ve not been able to play because it went to PC. Because that’s not how it works, right? Anyway. As long as I can Sony games on a Sony console I’m good.
Now that that’s out of the way. Excited for this. Love the series and the dev. I think PSSR has done well for what it’s been. But they’re not using it enough to justify the Pro. Even though I have one and love it.
You all are really burnt off the Bluepoint thing, huh? Put it this way. They did remakes and you all hate remakes. So now maybe there won’t be too many remakes. Quick! Tell me what Bluepoint was working on when they closed?
Anyway. Looking forward to this one. I loved the Miles and Spider-Man games but I’m expecting more maniacal carnage from Wolverine. Bring it on!
After Streets of Rage, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, and TMNT: Splintered Fate, I’ve been kind of addicted to these types of games. I’ll definitely check this one out!
Edit: Currently on sale for 75% off. $6.24! SOLD!!!
Still running through Astro Bot with the wife. Went back to Division for a bit just to get the platinum. Got it. Then went on and platinum’d Division 2. Remembered how much I love the series.
I’m sorry. I’ve just never concerned myself with this part of the industry. There are so many great studios out there. Many better than Bluepoint. Move the talent from this studio to another, and have them continue the good work.
Honestly, in my many years on this site, I’ve never read the sentence “Bluepoint is an amazing studio!” Now all of a sudden the closure is this pearl-clutching incident that garners 300 comments.
@guacguacboo every game should have one. Imagine how many great games that go by the wayside (looking at you Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden) likely would’ve benefited if the skeptics were able to play a bit before they made up their mind.
@luisterr performance mode is always the best way to play! Games still look gorgeous and it’s hard to tell the difference visually. But play in resolution mode and it’s easy to distinguish the difference in frame rate.
@PuppetMaster nostalgia keeps Nintendo in people’s good graces. Nintendo is so anti-consumer but because we remember how much they meant to us when we were kids, they always get a pass.
Imagine if Sony or MS would never drop thr prices of their games? 7 year old games at full price! Underpowered hardware that’s 5 years behind the times. So much of what Nintendo gets away with, the other 2 are chastised for. I guess Nintendo is too cute to be mad at.
@get2sammyb I agree wholeheartedly! I really don’t understand how anyone can not have anything to play this generation. Heck, I made resolution this year to not buy any game over $30 and I’ve played some gems from PS+ alone. I think the fact that people are generally unhappy all around leads to the feelings of jadedness with gaming and many other things.
Love the Norse series but adore the original trilogy. Please don’t change anything! Greek games had their own identity. Kinda became the “God of War genre” (see Donté’s Inferno). Newer games are making games. But the originals are standouts.
@Haruki_NLI so what you’re saying is Sony should’ve just told them to subscribe to Ps+ instead of giving them the games free? Damned if they do, I guess… 🤷🏾♂️
@ChallengerxUK again! I don’t care, man! If you check my comments on PS exclusives going to PC you’ll know what I think: Other people being able to play the games don’t stop me from playing the games. I have no loyalty to Sony whatsoever. They just make the games I love to play. I used to be a heavy Nintendo fan. Then I moved on to PS. No “pony” over here.
@Challenger-UK 🤣 I. Don’t. Care! Didn’t care when the games went to PC and won’t care if and when they go to XBOX. I just think the response was funny. Didn’t know anyone would flip like you did.
Wife just bought me Split Fiction for Valentine’s Day! Will likely get into that when my son gets home from work. For now, it’s Division 2 solo and passing the controller with my wife on Astro Bot. It’s a family affair!! 💕
@Kairuuu I mean. They release remakes and remasters vs new games at such a lopsided ratio that I’m shocked that people still complain about remakes and remasters. Also, this is a remake that people actually asked for.
@babek just so you know “BGONE” is the acronymic name for Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. Do yourself a favor and also add that to your wishlist. Thank me later.
@AdamNovice in a world where we can get almost everything shipped to us within 24 hours, you’ll have to expect that people will spoil themselves on instant gratification.
I won’t revel in the failure of anyone’s hard work. But at some point they’ll have to realize this push isn’t working. Far more misses than hits. And when you’re asking the gaming community to flock to a new live service every 2-3 months how can you expect any of it to be successful?

Re: Guerrilla Games Came Up with Its Own Upscaling Tech for Decima Engine, and It Rivals PSSR
Bluepoint.

Re: God of War's Next Main Game Looking Ever More Likely to Explore Egyptian Mythology
@PuppetMaster you’d think with all the noise about remasters that people wouldn’t mind a studio that specializes in them being gone by the wayside.
Re: God of War's Next Main Game Looking Ever More Likely to Explore Egyptian Mythology
@Frmknst EXACTLY!!! Bluepoint shutdown isn’t some huge loss as people are trying to make it. Lose Santa Monica and then we can panic.
