The game was coming in close to Zelda, Diablo 4, Street Fighter 6 and FF16, maybe delaying it to later in the year will allow them to set a date to a less crowded period and maybe sell a few more copies than it should at this point.
@KidBoruto yup, same. I went to check HowLongToBeat after I wrote that comment and yeah most FF after 4 are in the 30 to 35h range. FF10 is around 40h. This is for story alone. So FF16 seems right on par with them.
Honestly, at this point I don't want to see any more of RE4, already saw enough and the game is really close to release. Shame they're not showing more Pragmata, think that thing will go the way of Deep Down.
That was just a drag to go through. In a show where the pacing is already all over the place, you have to spend 1h with the weakest part of the show (Bella's Ellie). They should've spent 20 mins at most with Left Behind and just go on. Also, why the heck does Riley look like she's almost 30?!
The things that leaves me more flabbergasted about this is that Sony studios seem to be following this trend as well. We already saw the leaks of the Fortnite-Horzizon game and we know that they are making 10 (10!!!!) GaaS.
I didn't expect anything, so those BG3 and RE4 trailers were nice.
I still find it funny that people get disappointed or expect megatons from these even when set your expectations beforehand.
They had already said that the game was coming out in August, but the console version is a nice surprise, at least for people that play CRPGs in consoles. This is a pc game for me.
The remake is real and is supposed to come sometime in 2024. This is because the company that makes MGS figures has them set to release at the same date (this was the same company that had the new SH figures)
@CieloAzure It seems that Maiden is considered the worst of the series (even though I liked it) and this one is the best or second best after Crimson Butterfly. I'm quite looking forward to it.
Is this the episode that the previewers were all raving about? It sucked, it deviated from the real story for quite a bit, everything was hammered in (no nuance in the storytelling at all) and it skipped some of the best action parts from the original.
I hope impossible mode is just another name to the hardest difficulty like in the first game and not the 1 save/1 death mode that you had in 2, which was simply not fun.
I'm still mildly looking forward to this game, but it has been so long since it was announced and it seems they went back on some features of the game (it is now mission based instead of open map/world, combat was changed, etc). Lets hope they show a substancial amount of gameplay and systems and give us a release date.
@Rambolike This one is based on the "3 Kingdoms" Chinese epic instead of being in Japan. The combat and systems are also quite different, this one has a more aggressive gameplay focused on parries and doge. If Nioh was Dark Souls then think of Wo Long more like a Bloodborne or Sekiro.
I had a fried who worked in the game and he tempered my expectations by saying that this was a survival game if a survival game was made by Michael Bay.
Not doing a bundle for the game+sunbreak is a crappy move on their part. Since I already own it on PC I'm not going to spend extra money on this, will wait for Wild Hearts instead.
@get2sammyb If you have nothing else to play during that time I would totally say "yes". But there's also Crisis Core coming out during that time, I'm not sure if you're a fan or not.

Re: Talking Point: State of Play Predictions February 2023 - What Do You Expect?

Got gamepass on PC for 1€ to try this. It's fine, if you're not paying for it but I wouldn't pay 70€ for it.

Dead space for sure. Forspoken when it gets patched in a few weeks because that performance was rough

Of course it's shorter, do you think Valve has stock to cover a 4h show?
Next year it will be back to its original length.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 454
@ApostateMage 2 of the best. Nice taste.
As for me. Not PS related but I'm trying to finish Xenoblade 3. The game starts so strong but absolutly sh**s the bed on the last 2 chapters.
