It's disappointing not having Quidditch. Didn't think it would be in the game as we haven't seen it but I did have some hope for them to surprise us with it. Who knows, maybe one day if they make a sequel they could add it to push the sequel further. Would really love to have the Triwizard Tournament too.
The picture is already getting me very excited! Would love to see it go back to the older games again and have good parkour in it.
As much as I love the newer games, the older ones is what I prefer. Still playing Valhalla at 250 hours. lol. Platinum already achieved and started playing Dawn of Ragnarok. Just need to get all trophies for that and then The Forgotten Saga to be finished. Need a smaller game after this one
I think I'd prefer MS to have bought them. For starters it would keep China out of it and MS could do with some really good single player games. Don't mean it as in they don't have any, just haven't seen any on Xbox that is of interest to me like Sony and Nintendo have. It would have also meant more competition pushing Sony do better and acquire a better studio of their own
I'm not a fan of mobile gaming but I hope they don't try making their own Pokemon Go clone. They all fail. Nothing can beat that so they need to create something unique of their own.
I wouldn't say no if they wanted to make a new Uncharted handheld. Treat the phone the same as the Vita. Add PSN accounts for trophy support. Wouldn't mind seeing a Horizon city-building type of game too. Most importantly the game can't be very heavy on mtx
I don't mind them reusing assets and levels as long as they do changes so that they feel and look different. If it's exactly the same then it wouldn't be anything special or exciting. Can lead to bordom too if they added too many of the same
Not pre-ordering it but I have to admit it is awfully tempting to grab the game. Really want to play it again at it's best but not at £70. Need to fight that temptation until it's cheaper
I hope they add all the older stuff back. I've been on and off with the game and each time I came back, it left me so confused and feeling like I missed out on so much I don't even know what's going on anymore so I lost out on a lot of things.
If they could bring back all the things they removed including all the seasons stuff, then I'd consider jumping back in. It's not a friendly game for new players or returning ones.
It was okay. Some nice games were shown. Lies of P and Atlus Fallen were my highlights. Really enjoyed Hogwarts and Gotham Knights also.
Sonic Frontiers had a better trailer too which is what they should have showed us in the first place.
The thing I didn't like about the show is what is up with those awards?! He has the gaming awards show for that. And Kojima, why was he on there?! That could have been posted as a Tweet.
I was willing to give the game a chance if it could impress me with a better gameplay video. There was also a part of me was thinking to hold off a bit. That release date makes my decision a lot easier, I'll be holding off until it's cheaper for sure.
Wouldn't say I'm excited for this one but I'd give it a watch. Wouldn't go out of my way subscribing to a different service for it though. There's plenty of other IPs they could use I'd rather see. Hopefully they do anime as live action would make it look ridiculous
I never watch it live as it's always on too late so I catch up on the game trailers the next day while skipping most of the award stuff (only check out who won GoTY)
Premium is terrible. Luckily I got mine from a cheap PS Now deal but that will be expiring soon. I will be downgrading to the Extra tier unless Sony can improve that tier.
Getting a lot more classics into it would be attractive. PS3 games isn't quite for me as my internet isn't good enough for the streaming. They should look at getting EA Play added into the service too in some way.
It would also be amazing to have brand new games added to it. If the Extra tier was to have 1 new game like Stray, then Premium should have 2 or 3 games. Doesn't need to be day 1 new but something more recent like a year old or bit less.
I hope they make the next game with both the VR and without VR in mind so it could be enjoyed equally both ways as we choose. Astro's Playroom was an incredible way to enjoy the PS5. The only bad thing i could say about it is that it was way too short and I would buy a big game.
@theMEGAniggle Agreed. They did it the best! Could replay it many times over and never got tired of it. Most co-op games I end up forgetting at some point in time but they are the most memorable. Would have really liked to have seen ND adding it to TLoU.
Would have loved to have co-op! Uncharted 2 mastered it, made the story missions in co-op so much fun. Would have loved something like that with Spider-Man.
I wouldn't rule competitive online entirely if it's like Spider-Man No Way Home kind of idea and allowing the opponent play as the bad guys
Looking forward to it. I would really like a new X-men game but can't see that happening when there's Wolverine to come. Would also love to see a new Avengers, a proper made one, only there was some rumours of EA doing Iron Man so if that ends up being true then Avengers is unlikely. Wouldn't mind a Defenders game in that case. Wouldn't say no to a Thor or Hulk game
Brilliant trailer! Soooo hyped for the Ragnarok. Such a shame Mimir wasn't telling the story. I could listen to his story all day until Ragnarok arrives. lol
As it should. Would be weird making it an English movie and with non-Japanese cast.
I just hope that there is an english voice over though as I'm not a fan of listening to a lanugage that doesn't match the words I read. I'm a full-time sub reader anyway, just the sound of another langague I don't understand is a deal breaker. Shows like Squid Game was manageable thanks to some wearing a mask but for the actors that didn't wear one, those took some getting used to. Even Money Heist (Spanish one) took some time to get used to and the trick was to stare at the subs more than their lips.
What's funny is I love the Japanese games like they are my favourite type of games. But I can't stand them if they don't have English voice. If there's no English voice then it's a lot easier to play them as a handheld game as I don't use sound in handheld.
I'm fine with the delay. Just think it's a pity that it's not going to be out for Decemeber. Would have been a really nice getting to play on Christmas. Love watching the movies at that time of the year starting with the first on Christmas day
@HeeHo I'd say Sony should think about making a PC Plus tier and maybe have some PC developers to create games using their ip that are made for PC (strategy games perhaps).
A Plus tier for PC could look more attractive than paying £50 and give players easier access to games so they don't feel they need to pirate them as much. Don't need to release something like Spider-Man day 1 but they could appear at some point. And maybe include that PC tier onto the consoles Premium for anyone that has a PC too to get access to those strategy games. Right now that premium looks unattractive
I like the idea of this game to play as other characters for a change. But after this I hope they go back to making more Batman games as that would get me more excited
It's just business. Doesn't matter what we think about it. They are looking out for themselves. Sony may be hitting the headlines but it doesn't mean the other companies aren't doing the same no matter how big or small it is. Like lets not forget about the Persona ports news embargo.
I'm just looking forward to seeing the campaign. Love MW campaigns the best.
For the multiplayer, I'm not sure if it's for me but we will see. Always prefered the first MW over the second and third.
The Marina Bay Grand Prix map looks really nice but I think that for a lot of maps and then when I actually play them, they never feel as good as CoD4 maps did. Have my best memories with those.
@Areus Thought of that myself once but now I'm not so sure.
If EA isn't going to use Titanfall, it could be a cheap buy for that ip. Even Battlefield can't beat CoD and the game has been receiving a lot of hate over the years. 2042 is the first time i haven't bothered with the series. Battle Royal for V wasn't very exciting either imo. Would be a lot safer to have something more towards the older CoD gameplay instead of Battlefield realisim
They should try make a CoD type of game of their own. Buying Titanfall would be a start but some fans want a modern militery game rather than a titan one and push it to success or make something brand new and keep it multiplatform. Grow the studio over time too. If they need to, allow it on GamePass to make money through battlepass.
Killzone and Resistance would be amazing but those would be limited. Killzone was meant to be a Halo killer but even Halo can't complete against CoD
I buy physically. Very few games, the ones i love the most, I'd rebuy them digital when they are cheap. But if we come to an end with physical games then I don't see myself buying many or if any. Think I'd have a cut down like by at least 80% or more. If we are to go all digital, then I'd be mainly getting my gaming through subscription and replay older games.
Whether it happens or not, it's a shame they didn't care enough to take on Tomb Raider. With Crystal Dynamics and some help of Naughty Dog, they could have made some great Tomb Raider games while also keeping it different to Uncharted. In fact, Crystal Dynamics could even have taken over the Uncharted jobs if Naughty Dog wanted to keep pushing forward with new games. They have the talent for that type of game
@Matroska Same for me too. You're lucky it took you hours. It took me days! At first I liked the idea of having the game for both consoles so I'd always have access to it one way or the other but now that I think about it I don't see myself playing it on PS4 once I get the platinum for that version. Going forward I would prefer to just stick with the PS5 version. The PS5 box also doesn't come with that ugly "PS5 upgrade available" stamp on the box art too if that matters. Would have been nice to get a digital PS4 version from the PS5 if they could have it tied to the account that installed and booted the game up for the first time, but I'd favour the PS5 disc for now on.
If you see yourself playing the game again and want to have it removed from the SSD, I would recommend moving it over onto an external HDD. It's a lot faster to copy that than going through the hassle of re-downloading all over again.
It sounds nice but I hate those early access. 3 days early really pushes people to spend more money to get access for what should have been the release date in the first place. It may not seem like a long wait, but it's not nice for fans that are excited to play on day 1.
I remember when MS was doing that with Forza, it meant that people lost out on getting to play the game over the weekend unless they pay up. Wouldn't be as bothersome if it was a Tuesday launch and still get it in time for Friday for the weekend. It also means having to be extra careful for spoilers in a good story game
