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.

VR Saints Row sounds awful but I've always liked the idea of a game showing the formation of the Kings with Julius and Benjamin. Don't see it happening though, Saints Row is dead. Maybe we will get ports of the older games in the future but that's it.

I understand they wanted a game to keep a steady income for them while working on the big single player games, but as a massive Remedy fan, this looked boring from the reveal so I never gave it a shot. The only thing that kept my interest before launch was the hope that they could use it to give small pieces of lore that hints toward the next big projects but they were just in the loading screens and was very little. That killed my interest. A Remedy game without the writing just doesn't do it for me.

The new scenes all explain how the characters from this become bar owners. Mine the bartender coming in LAD9.

It's an IGN article, I really don't care.

Next year is a good time for racing games.

I imagine that Forza Horizon 5 is still selling well, so they want to give it a bit more space to get more sales before launching this on PS5; it could also be the port started late so they need a few more months. I do prefer getting this than 5 though so I'm hoping the wait is like Indy.

On one hand, if this is a modern port of the PC version, great. It's one of the best games of all time.

On the other hand, I thought what they've done to the visuals is awful. It's not that I'm against changing the look but I just think it looks worse in some areas. I'd prefer just a straight-up port of the PC with how it looks on that but it could just be the trailer. I'll keep an eye on it.

I thought it was fine. Happy to see Wolverine and my boi Spartacus playing him but nothing major outside of that and the metroidvania book looking game for me.

No one is talking about the big thing, bowling is back!

Another version of WOA, just to confuse people more with what is in which edition.

Give me a game with Leo making a name for himself in Empire Bay.

@Stepan With a fighting game, I imagine they will want to keep an active player base, so offering an upgrade is worth it to them. With something like Yakuza, I could see them not offering an upgrade and releasing it for £40 or something. Obviously it's just speculation from me and I'd love to be wrong. We'll see when they announce it.

Everything I've heard about it is bizarre. The additional cutscenes aren't great, I don't care about the English VA and I heard no one talk about the online co-op. The main reason I'm interested in it is because I want a native PS5 version of 0 but if they are charging full price for that, I'm going to hold off. This really should be a free upgrade or a £10 upgrade but I don't think SEGA does that.

Loved 3 but when they started porting it to other platforms, a friend of mine couldn't get through it because of the combat so this would be idle for someone like him. RGG is my comfort series so I'm always going to pick them up even if I dislike one, since I will likely enjoy the next.

It was a couple of years before I was born but it's something that I remember always having, it was the PS2 launch that I remember more but before then I spent a lot of time on it. Great console but the PS2 is still the GOAT to me.

Looking forward to Beavis and Butt-Head wiping out a squad and then teabagging them. Pure cinema.

Great gameplay, uninteresting open world, story has potential but isn't fully fleshed out and rushed, it's so obviously unfinished that the game ends up being okay for me. If that gameplay was used in the style of the earlier MGS it could have been a masterpiece.

Virtuos + Unreal Engine 5, what a team.

The first game is one of my favourite games of all time and when this was announced I was ecstatic, then I followed the development of this mess through the years... calling this Bloodlines is an insult; it looks like an entirely different game to the first and this is just the cherry on top.

Borrowed it from a friend and finished it in two days, but I really enjoyed it. The knife fights and how restrictive the missions are were the only negatives I had, along with a certain part of the ending. Everything else I enjoyed. I hope it does well because I would like them to make another in the series that is a bit more open like Mafia 1 and 2, but this was a very pleasant surprise. Low 8/ high 7 for me.

Love Control and replayed Max Payne 1 and 2 last year which I still adore; so I'm excited for Remedy. FBC isn't fun and I'd be surprised if a future update brings life back into the game.

This sounds good to me, a solid story but not overly long with passable gunplay. From the sounds of things, it's the performance of it on the PS5 I'll have to wait and see; I'll likely get it on discount anyway in a few months, so I'm hoping it's fixed by then.

Still no British Blade, maybe one day...

Barker and Bradley are back and making a Hellraiser game? Perfection. The Hellraiser series is mostly trash outside of Barker's work, so I'm happy he's involved; the world he created is one of my favourites in horror.

The things they are selling like character customisation and quicker progression are indeed fun, that's why they were cheat codes 20 years back Ubisoft, you greedy corporation.

Not the SNK game I expected but I'll take it.

The highlight of this generation is definitely the short or instant loading times, but it all depends on the developers and how they optimise their games. Also, please don't make a mandate to use the same engine for every game, that can turn bad really fast.

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility, Sony was interested in the Fox sale before Disney got them and was in serious talks with Paramount before Skydance. With Warner splitting into two companies, it's obvious they are setting themselves up for a sale. Does that mean Sony is going to acquire them in the end? No, but I'm sure they will be interested, even outside of the gaming space. HBO alone is probably interesting to Sony.

Sad to think this is most likely the "newest" thing we will get from this series any time soon.

I'm pretty sure that's not true. People have uploaded videos of the THPS 4 levels and the Pro Goals are things like get a Platinum Score, Collect COMBO etc. London has Grind the Full Southbank Lights Gap, Impress the Pro Skaters and Collect Stompy Plushies; 5 extra objectives won't cover all the goals, never mind the more silly ones.

Maybe they are talking about some other Pro Goal list, but I still believe that the THPS 4 side of things is under-delivering. THPS 3 looks great, but it's still not enough for me to pay full price at launch when it's a glorified map pack for 1+2.

If it doesn't show up at Xbox then I imagine they will announce the release date at the Tokyo Game Show for an early release next year. That's what I'm hoping anyway.
