This sounds like my jam, love PS2 era racing games.

"to better support skate.’s long-term future and focus the team on the things that matter most to you", since the game was annouced people have shared their opinions on stuff and they've ignored them. I haven't been gaslighted by a dev this hard in a long time.

Looks decent, I always wait until the Gold Edition releases before getting new Resi games, but it sounds about what I expected.

It's obvious she's just spouting anything to try and make everyone happy on both sides of the spectrum. The push for multi-platform games came from higher-ups in Micrsoft and they still have final say, so whoever is in charge of the Xbox division doesn't matter when it comes to that area.

The playerbase on Steam nosedived since launch, so not surprised they are doing this. It is EA though, so if the game was in a healthy state they would still likely charge for it.

What an utter joke. You have a talented studio that made quality ports and remakes, and then force them to make a live service, which is then cancelled. Disgusting. The heads of PlayStation need to be sacked.

I found the combat the biggest step back in the newer God of War games, so I hope not. I also don't think it should go with the old combat straight up. Give me something like Devil May Cry 5 with Kratos, I think that is the way they should modernise it.

I'm sure it's something to do with the rights. Rémi Gazel sadly passed away in 2019. If the music is licensed separately from the game, it's likely that Ubisoft or whoever is in charge of this port is not willing to pay for it.

I don't see why they would, sex and Greek mythos go hand in hand. I'm sure people say Sony won't add that kind of stuff nowadays but The Last of Us 2 showed more in that department than any God of War did. Hell, I could see the remake actually showing the scenes since sex in games has been more prevalent in recent history with games like Kingdom Come, Cyberpunk/The Witcher, Baldur's Gate 3. And the smash circle button has become such a meme, I'd be surprised if they cut it.

Going to finish my Hardcore playthrough of KCD2 today, so I'm looking forward to replaying this. Also has save transfer from PS4 to PS5.

When I boot this up and I hear that amazing score... it's going to be glorious!

So pumped for this. I do wonder if they will change the gameplay perspective so it's not fixed cameras and the like. As long as the gameplay is brutal and I can chain combos, I wouldn't mind it. Also wouldn't be surprised if we get an expanded ending for III showing Kratos arriving in the Norse realm. Can't wait to play it sometime in the 2030s...

Lovely showcase, great variety, nice announcements. Happy about Rayman! Great stuff.

I've seen the spoilers for the game, so them not doing them anymore makes no sense to me with the changes introduced. I don't want anymore to be clear but knowing RGG they will rename the Kiwami series to something else and call them reimaginings and not remakes, or some marketing talk like that.

Well, it certainly sounds like a Suda51 game with all the positives and negatives that come with it. This will be a wait-for-sale game for me.

Not interested. I think a mature D&D show could be great, even in the Baldur's Gate world but I don't need it to follow the game and having Craig Mazin leading it when the only thing I like of his is Chernobyl (Last of Us had good moments, but wasn't a fan overall) doesn't do it for me.

I'm someone who's played the Horizon games and thinks they are very forgettable, so a spin-off like this doesn't do anything for me. I don't have anything against Hunter Gathering itself, I just really don't care about it.

Not shocking, I understand why they made a second Outer Worlds since the first did incredibly well sales-wise but it feels like with every passing year, people's view of the original has become more negative, resulting in people not caring about a sequel.

I'm happy about it though. Outer Worlds didn't connect with me and I'd much prefer them focusing on something like Pillars of Eternity more.

Time for another yearly replay of KCD. Jesus Christ be praised.

I won't have this slander against Watch Dogs 2, THE only good Watch Dogs game. One was generic AF with the hacking tool being the only new thing introduced into the genre and Legion had a gimmick that became tired after a couple of hours of play. 2 has issues, but is still one of the most interesting open world games outside of Rockstar from the 2010s.

Calling The Office, The IT Crowd and Peep Show classics implies that the shows are old and they aren't that old- wait... oh...

I feel like the oversaturation has been a thing with the series for the last few entries, like when 6 released if felt like a massive upgrade but since 8 it feels like they've changed something. Might just be the lighting but something does feel off when it comes to scenes during the day especially. Not a big deal for me personally but I do want to see some improvements in that area.

I'm looking forward to it, but I really need to see a gameplay showcase, also with the change of the morality system, I hope they keep the devil and angel transformations somehow.

Went from rumours of a shadow drop to being straight up cancelled, jesus.

For crying out loud, they are different games, there is no need to delist them! Imagine if the OG final Fantasy VII was delisted and you can only get the remake trilogy, it would be stupid and even Square Enix of all companies realise that. I guess my hopes of a port of the HD release of 1 and 2 is dead since they really don't care about the original games, good thing I've still got my Japanese PS3 copy of that collection. What a joke.

A shadow drop without showcasing the game for years isn't exactly a good idea, especially when the last time we saw it was slated for looking bad. Prince of Persia isn't exactly a massive IP like The Elder Scrolls is, it's more of a cult series nowadays. I hope it's good, but if this is true it sounds more like they just want to cut their losses and get it out the door.

I wouldn't be surprised if it could even be 4 months after launch. If Halo is launching day 1 on PS5, then it's obvious the only reason Forza isn't is because they started the PS5 port late. It's going to be like Indiana Jones. 4-6 months after sounds likely to me.

I'm a big supporter of game preservation, even if the game is bad or I don't like it, but I'll be honest, it's surprising how they are only now shutting it down. Feels like something that would have happened years ago.

That reminds me, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise not being playable on PS5 is criminal, damn you licenses expiring!

Something I've noticed with this version is that the music track bugs out during fights if you're performing something like a heat action half the time, don't remember that being a thing in the original. Pretty mediocre port overall, but it does feel like we will get a Kiwami in the future. I wouldn't even be surprised if we get another Kiwami of the first game just to get all the main series on the Dragon Engine, just hope that if they revisit 0 again they give it better care.

Would be happy if I was wrong though.

Just awful, and only 66. What a legend. Thoughts go out to his loved ones.

Huh, didn't know J. J. Abrams's Bad Robot had a game division. Love Left 4 Dead, but every time Sony announces a partnership with a well-known developer (individual not studio), it hasn't turned out well so far, so I ain't that excited.

8 is my least favourite game in the main series and felt like they were targeting a western audience. I really don't want another game set in America or outside of Japan again, it just doesn't mold well with what the series is to me, and Hawaii is also the most boring map to explore.

I swear someone at Paradox a year or two ago said they regretted trying to make an RPG since they've never done it before, and expectations were high since it's a sequel to one of the best games in the genre. Nice to see them open about it being their fault but it's still disappointing at the end of the day.

I hate when companies do stuff like this. I understand they might not want to confuse people with having different versions of games but for preservation's sake, I find it dumb. The worst is when they replace an older version that works well with a worse version cough GTA Definitive Edition Trilogy cough.

Having Noah Hawley attached makes me interested but I'd prefer it if he focused on Alien: Earth.

It's no Lotus Esprit, but it will do.

I think I saw this on iPlayer in the UK so I might finally check it out.

Activision may have confirmed it but anyone with eyes can see that it's the most generic AI use possible. You would have thought these big companies would train the AI to have it's own style but even that is too much for them, and instead use crap that you see on social media instead. F everyone who uses AI for the arts.

Played it when it first came out and wasn't a fan. This, along with THPS 3+4 has made it a disappointing year for skating games.

I liked the format and it was obviously focusing on the Japanese players with the new PS5 model so it was fine. Just wish they would show more new games in the future.

The thing about community-created content is that you need an actual community around your game to make it.

I thought Just Cause 4 was horrid so it's a shame but I wasn't expecting much from the series at this point.

I'm buying games less but that's because of the price so for me...

I'd love a Persona 1 and 2s remake in the future, even just straight up ports of the PSP versions and the rest of Megami Tensei on modern platforms, but please get Persona 6 done beforehand. I love Persona 4 so I'm interested in the remake but after that, get 6 out.

@RoomWithaMoose From what they've shown, it's mostly just parts of Silent Cartographer so I'm going to reserve judgment until they've shown levels like Truth and Reconciliation and 343 Guilty Spark etc. Right now it looks fine but I need to see more.

We've known it's being made in UE5 for a while but that's the biggest letdown for me, hope they actually optimise it well. Besides that, I'm looking forward to it, love CEs campaign and having it 4 player co-op is great. The biggest complaint about the Anniversary (besides them butchering the art style) and original is it being 2-player coop. Excited to play this IF it plays well.

Excited for this, been holding off on playing all the DLC until this one is released. I hope they're doing something else next year, either an expansion like Liam said or a remaster of the first game with KCDII QOL improvements.

Everything or Nothing had it's own Bond theme and opening sequence, and I swear Lana Del Rey made a song for Spectre that didn't make it like Radiohead so it would make sense.
