Easy GOTY contender and one of the best AA games ever made! This rivals most AAA games out there, and the industry should take note. This is how you do it 👌🏻
I was already keen on this, but after that Kill Bill revenge trailer I am super amped to play this! 😬 I just hope that whatever animal companion you have in this game survives the story 🥹
Games like Killzone 2 and 3, running at 4k60, would look right at home on modern systems. MGS4 too. Visually, they still hold up really well 🤩 I'd also like to see God of War Ascension get a remaster some day. And give ICO a nice little remake 🥹 And let us play fun indies like Tokyo Jungle again! 😄 And remaster Siren: Blood Curse, but also fix the controls and the camera etc etc. 😓 So many games.. I could go on and on 😅
Just when it seemed like they finally figured out a clear vision for the future of their gaming division, they go and do something as monumentally stupid as this. Why not just continue working on the DLC until it actually is substantial enough for release? Anything Hogwarts Legacy related is easy money in the bank. Thought WB understood that...
It's quite miraculous how they've turned Cyberpunk 2077 around to be one of the best open world games on the market. And Phantom Liberty was absolutely sublime 👌🏻 Just goes to show that if you don't shutter your studio and just fix your mess-of-a-game, it can be good and make money. No Man's Sky another wonderful example.
If you can ignore all the petty, nitpicky criticism that this game has received from the internet, you can actually enjoy a polished, gorgeous fuedal-Japan AC game with a huge focus on stealth 🙌🏻 Ubisoft have learned to take care with this one and released it in a wonderful state, as they have learned from SW Outlaws (which has also been fixed since). People need to chill and be a bit more positive ✌🏻
All these leaks, claims, rumors etc.... just sucks the excitement out of official announcements and creates expectations for nothing 🙄 Borders on trolling at this point.
This is genius marketing 👌🏻 Suprised to see something like this from Square Enix. Let's hope the sale meets their sales expectations... And yea, the Clive Rosfield dude is hilarious 🤣
Josef Fares is an absolute legend. Incredibly based. All game developers should be like this guy. There's nothing corporate or sleezy about him 🙌🏻 He just respects video games and gamers alike.
There's just something very relaxing about climbing games. Like when playing Jusant, you just get this very chilled feeling of peaceful isolation while taking in the scenery and looking down at how far you've come. I welcome the difficulty of Cairn, but I hope it has similar vibes 😌
Fntastic need to read the room, seriously 🙄 They should count their lucky stars that they themselves weren't sued into oblivion for releasing that abomination of a game.
@heavyartillery56 You have no idea why there's not going to be any DLC for SM2. No one does. Most likely the DLC was scrapped because Insomniac wanted to get started on SM3 right away.
I really hope this is another W for the Silent Hill franchise 🤞🏻 After the immaculate Silent Hill 2 remake, we can forget about the other silly side projects that released recently and look forward to another mainline entry. Let's hope that we'll all need new underwear for Silent Hill f 😬
This is such a fantastic metroidvania that was largely overlooked when it came out. I played it on the Switch and had a blast with it. Visually oozing with style and a fantastic soundtrack, with fun combat and progression. So excited to be able to play this again on the PS5.
Independent studios should always work within safe margins and make smaller games until they have enough money to safely take bigger risks. I've seen how some indie studios have grown like that over the years and how others have failed by risking it all on one big project. Just play it safe. And listen to the dude from Larian.
Was suprised to see the update, but knew it wasn't anything major. The PS3 is still great in 2025 though! 🙌🏻 I cherish my library of games (most of them stuck on the console) dearly 🥹
Seems like the safest thing you can do in the industry today, to survive as a studio. It's brutal what these large companies have been doing. RIP Monolith, Arkane Austin 😔
I just hope the new operation is better than the last one. Ideally another Tyranid-focused level that is a bit longer. Looking forward to horde mode! 😬
My noob brain can't even comprehend this. I died a thousand times to finish Elden Ring and I was still proud of myself 😅 I guess these games are just gonna keep getting harder and harder for us plebs now, thanks to these streamers 🥲
@Drago201 I'm well aware of that. I was implying that they would remove it from ps+ so that you have to buy the ps5 version if you still want the game. They can't make any money off of anyone who is happy with the ps+ version.
I played System Shock 2 last year (after playing the SS1 remake) for the first time and damn.. it holds up so well. I had just a few graphics mods installed, but everything else in the game - the story, exploration, atmosphere, SHODAN, that twist - was still amazing. Will defintely play the Nightdive re-release 🙌🏻
These State of Play shows are fine if Sony can follow them up with a showcase of whatever big games weren't announced/covered. Timing is everything. Sony has enough games in development to start doing more shows and completely blow us away this year 😬
A few nice surprises, some slop, and half the stuff we've already seen before or knew about already. Opening with Monster Hunter Wilds just set the tone lol 🙈 Returnal 2 was the only real exciting announcement 🙌🏻

Re: Sony Stealthily Increases the Size of PS5, PS4's Needlessly Restrictive PS Store Wishlist
@Oram77 I think people also keep stuff in their wishlists to wait for sales, because you get updates if something gets discounted.

@heavyartillery56 SM2 was successful because SM3 has been confirmed to be in development. Might want to leave that out of your argument.
