@PuppetMaster not really, ps5 came out mid covid and they literally launched demon souls on launch, with support. Covid probably didn't effect them much, the game they had been working on wss already finished and they had a break and worked from home anyway with patches.
They may of gave a helping hand on ragnarok but probably no more than all the teams putting their ideas together.
But reality is , its only been 3 years since their last game. Games are taking around 4 or 5 years to make now, plus if its an original game then that means they would of had to spend a year pre production, script, and all the other things what come with an original game.
They probably didn't really have the freedom before Sony bought them
@get2sammyb I know I know but a man can dream. Hahahaha I guess I'm stuck with palworld haha.
But it is true though the latest pokemon game is ment to be a master piece but the game just cannot run on the switch. So wasted.
I guess I'll just settle for third place Xbox games coming over. Wouldn't mind a gears of war remaster on ps5 if it is coming like rumoured.
Still remember playing that on Xbox 360 waiting for ps3 to hurry up. Haha
Edit: on topic, it's a good solid set of games.
People are always going to moan whatever. I think it comes down to them wanting triple A blockbusters time after time after time.
Probably due to those years where all the big hitters came out all at once.
But I truly wouldn't mind them bringing pokemon over, how that franchise would shine with the ps5 or even the ps4 tech behind it.
That series is wasted on Nintendo, esp the newest one, that game is the ultimate perfect pokemon game, if it actually ran and so I still have no need to dust off my switch.
Fingers crossed the switch 2, is alot more powerful.
@Hyena_socks I've been following the game since it got announced. By the end it really wasn't looking interesting or ambitious.
Character models were awful and were getting worse, turn out they used generic models. The world looked empty even in their previews.
Every video they did, all they did was show off the same old things.
The actions you did were basic the sims 2 style, they didn't even put in a queue system.
They claimed the world was open world and 0 rabbit holes but many pointed out that was easy because there was about 3 people in the world at any given time.
The UI looked very outdated.
The hype was massive when announced but it never seemed to progress at all, it really seemed to actually get worse.
But I truly truly don't understand is Playstations out of touch thinking with this service.
Extra is a great service and serves a great purpose but premium should be just an absolute beast of nostalgia and yet they treat it like just another essential couple of games a month service.
To add more insult to injury, they are putting psvr2 games behind the premium pay wall? They should all be on extra.
Playstation the 1 company who can make amazing secondary tech and never actually support it.
They really need to either put everything they have into their secondary tech or just dont even bother.
Shame the success they had with psvr 1 and this is what they do.
Literally no one can say there are no games coming, I've just counted 11 games half are what I truly want to play the other half are games I'd love to give them a chance but money is tight.
There is literally a few games for every genre.
Good lot of games to see the year out and we get astrobot.
Then next year we already from March onwards we start getting the ps exclusive big hitters.
It truly doesn't matter whether he ment xbox or playstation.
The fact is Phil is slimy all on his own.
Playstation have only ever done deals just like they all do, they have only ever bought developers who they had a history with or a brand new studio.
Xbox under Phil, has bought the rights for an exclusive tomb raider game, he didn't just buy bethesda then went and bought the entire parent company so no one else could have any developer within it.
Doesn't just go out and buy one of the call of duty developers, but buys entirety of Activision.
Playstation sees something in hellblade and puts up some of the money for development and exclusive right of an unknown game about mental health.
It does well so Phil jumps in and buys them out.
Yea Phil no more slimy business, your parent has out its foot down for spending anymore money and making sure you sell the games everywhere because your already losing them money on game pass and are down 100 billion. Well done Phil.
After 10 years of nothingness, xbox fans finally got a few games to show off at a conference.
Come on assassin's creed has basically been the same gameplay loop since forever and the only draw for those games is if your interested in the settings they are based.
I mean the only game they dared to venture into was a bare bones version of the ship battles from black flag and look what happened.
Not interested nit a cartoon version of dragon age.
But what can you do, bioware aren't the same bioware, they are a slowly dying developer and it's so unfortunate because there games were the best you could get for story telling for a long time.
The question really is "if Xbox didn't buy out that entire company would tango games still be going?"
Because reality is that company wasn't for sale, it's just they paid a premium to get what they wanted and now Microsoft are impatient and want a return
I think people are forgetting one very important thing.....
Xbox hasn't shown up for years and years, the amount of publishers they bought, it was going to happen at some point.
I'm glad Xbox finally delivered something because each year we all wait and see if Xbox is worth it and every year let down after let down.
Just shows though, that people have very short term memories about these things.
And for Xbox really for its consoles its a little to late in my mind.
But I think a show like this should put PlayStation under pressure.
In my mind if you ain't got anything to show from your own studios then don't show anything at all.
That PlayStation Showcase was an absolute joke and then the state of play was a third party mess.
We are at a time that many publishers have their own shows so if PlayStation pr Xbox have any shows, it should always be about their developers with a sprinkling of third party partnerships.
Not shows which are majority third party with 1 or 2 games.
The problem PlayStation have created is they've taken the whole showing games to early to the extreme and giving us nothing to get hyped about.
They mistake our frustration and think it's because the games aren't coming sooner, when in fact the frustration is we don't know what coming at all, apart from rumours and educated safe predictions.
Think from my own wants and PlayStation fans is a show which just talks and shows snippets from future games.
Like it's E3 season, we should have a vague knowledge of what's coming the following year, even if it's just a title screen or anything.
All we know is astrobot is coming September and that's as far as we get on first party.
@UltimateOtaku91 Considering Xbox every year don't show any games I guess it had to happen sooner or later.
Alot were 3rd party showings though.
But still think PlayStation has took the foot off the gas, even if games are coming from next year, at what point do PlayStation pull the trigger to keep PlayStations sales up.
I guess though PS5 are selling like hot cakes still so are they just holding out until sales start to dip and then throw out the announcement we all know are coming.
The strange one from Xbox was the whole new hardware, that was a strange one.
No disc version is a bit late, esp when the console isn't selling well so now they've added another SKU to their line up.
While PlayStation smartly decided too, streamline and make 2 SKU with a detachable disc drive.
@itsfoz I dont think they will and alot of the games are actually multiplatform.
Its just seems Microsoft put their hands in their pocket and paid for them to be shown.
Just shows this due to mgs being shown off here when it was revealed at playstation and both game fest and state of play were basically indie showcase.
It doesn't really matter though. Ps5 is selling regardless but I think it may slow down if they don't get their act together and pull off showcases like this.
@Kidfunkadelic83 its actually regarded as one of the best. But that could be due to the lack of any good power ranger games.
I did used to have it on an emulator on PC.
But have a look I mean these days it won't feel that great but back then, aa a kid playing at normal Jason going through the school grounds fighting putties and then things got intense then they would morph, I thought it was incredible that a game could do that.
It was like a game called cruise for a corpse. On a cruise ship and you had to investigate a murder and you had to meet people at a certain time and time advanced once you solved or spoke to someone, blew my mind.
And the one what truly blew my mind was flashback, if you made it through the first areas and you could go in a subway and I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact you could actually get on the train and travel different places hahaha.
An era most kids will never experience, because games now do all that and more off the bat and we expect them to.
Its Might Morphin Time!!!!!! I've got everything crossed for it to be good. Because you cant beat the SNES game back in the day, doing half the level and then morphin, I used to lose my sh** when it happened because I didn't think video games could do that, blew my mind.
I mean still a retro so its one step closer to my dream of having a full blown triple A third person action game of the original power rangers.
I mean we are getting a true TMNT triple A game so my dreams aren't lost yet.
@Malaise of course its a tactic. It may of been a great game but unfortunately it didn't sell brilliantly and remedy them sells are still in the red over this game, they haven't a made profit. So part wring up with someone and making some extra money maybe the only way.
@PerpetualBoredom By kids? Easily. Taking games from the shelf, shoving them into the console, throwing the box down, getting bored, get another game, throw game on side, repeat.
I've had a good few kids and what I've learnt over the years is, it doesn't matter what or how you teach them, some children will obey and understand and some kids will say yes but ain't listening one little bit.
So I've had a few game boxes broke and a few discs scratched and I got fed up. So my last full collection of games was the ps4 and ps5 is basically all digital, it's hard to let go but means my kids can switch on their ps5 and just play.
Plus I can just control what games they have and don't have and when they are ready I can just unlock another game for them.
They aren't being naughty by damaging the games they are just being kids in a generation where everything is just instant and growing up in a world where music and films are now just online, so they never really understood taking care of physical games.
@Shepherd_Tallon yep totally hit the nail on the head, we are literally foaming at the mouth for news every single day and by the time announcements come we probably already knew what it was.
On a more positive note I've found a 23min gameplay video which has been released with the trailer for the monkey ninja game Black myth and my god it looks as good as the cgi trailer in the game play.
@HotGoomba then why show it? Why do I need to see footage of a pre pre pre alpha build of a free to play game. Pretty sure they said there is a beta this fall aswel so now we are beta testing in public a pre pre pre alpha build.
If the game plays with the level of graphics wise as the trailer im in disc or no disc.
But I am at heart a collector but unfortunately I'm old and have kids and ive found my disc collection is becoming very damaged and have had to resort to buying all digital so the kids don't have to touch any discs.
Its a shame but thats the way of the world.
Edit; just reading comments you all need to get over yourselves, no money because of this?
Jesus this isn't the first time this has happened.
God Of War im pretty sure did the same.
Didn't call of duty?
Hasn't many out the disc in just for it to unlock a download.
If the game is good, the game will sell
At least they have come out and said they are having a problem and its their first console release.
Alan Wake 2 didn't even bother with a disc version until now.
The fact and reality remains that we have 0 idea of what bug hitters are hitting us next year.
Thats what E3 used to be all about, getting us hyped for the next year and updates of what's still to come.
But now we know. State of play let down, game fest let down, next lot probably will be games we already know what are coming this year and then let down.
Astro the only game which stood out at state of play.
Game fest not much for how long it was, so many indies and then they have an indie show after.
Power rangers looked like a great retro tmnt beat em up, black myth monkey game looks absolutely amazing but will that be the graphics of the gameplay if it is I'm all in but if this is just an advert for a generic game then meh.
I did like the koala prison break game might have a blast with my kids with that one.
Alan wake dlc not bad but predictable.
Everything else seemed to blend into one there all the same games but a different skin. But that maybe because work is slow, im tired and im quite ill.
I may have to re look at what was shown when im not let down.
Who in here is part of the 2% 3% who put excellent and very good hahaha what was you watching reruns of the greatest hits of E3 because you definitely didn't watch the same show I watched
So your reporting rumours which anyone could of predicted?
The big mistake this developer and Sony are making is the marketing is so bland and generic. Non of the trailers shown have given me a reason as to why this hero 5v5 shooter is any different to all the rest.
One would think they would know that it has to stand out and be different and this should be shown off from the get go.
Yet we have had a cgi burger and a cgi story beat both in my eyes great cgi and then some how at the end of the great graphically looking trailers we get shown a downgraded very generic looking 5v5 game with no outstanding feature.
It's like no one asked them the big question what makes yours stand out.
Because no one cares if a new story beat comes each week if reality is it's not really influenced by ourselves it's just another cgi trailer for the next 5v5 match.
If one was to watch the trailer without context, I'd say it makes for a great single player game fps/third person game.
@ShadowofSparta most of the games on it are very kiddy and easy and gives you options to buy things within it.
But dig a little deeper and you'll find actual in depth games, which honestly if they was released as a normal game and maybe not the whole rolblox graphics they'd be very well received.
Mainly tycoon management games.
But examples
A resturant tycoon, free build a restaurant, hire chefs, waitors. Sort your menu, basic and complex dishes which require extra equipment, also with a drive thru element, its actually quite in depth.
Prison tycoon, design and build your own prison freely buy more land, a basic but entertaining arrest criminals for your prison.
Working cctv, hire guards, level up so you can have bigger cars to arrest more prisoners, level up for criminals to be brought to you buy bus, your prison can become huge, you can allow family visitation, people can become hurt and need a infirmary, its quite in depth once you get into it.
Shopping mall tycoon same concept, of having to go get your goods and then you work up to employing drivers and a lorry to get your goods, a manager who auto orders your stock, finance reps who give out loans, employees, free build.
I mean honestly I'm truly not one for roblox, most games are pretty wait for money to go up press a button, but as I mentioned there are some actual in depth games within it.
I'd say this game is what dreams should of been.
Honestly I hope who ever was behind this game end up making a more adult better graphics version and give us the dreams we all wanted because they know what their doing with this genre.
End of the day people can say what they want about this game but it literally gives anyone a chance to make a game and make money off of it.
Nope didn't even know it was this week until end of last week.
Then he says dont get hyped 9 out of 10 its stuff you already know about.
Unfortunately gone are the days where we would get excited for E3 game news and reveals happen all year round now and to be honest, its nerfed hype completely.
Doesn't help that playstation have already said their games ain't ready until next march onwards and the best playstation could muster was a 5v5 hero shooter and the life saver astrobot.
I'd be annoyed if playstationed held back a reveal bigger than their own presentation for this. But I dont see it happening.
If you ain't been living under a rock, then everybody should know that digital games are not yours. They are basically until you either delete your account, forget your password, move on from gaming or die rentals.
The whole point of digital for companies are so that everyone has to buy a copy to play.
They aren't your games never will be never have been, just a licence so you can play them.
Why would anyone think it will change just because that person dies.
Physical items are the only possessions you can hand down. Anything digital is gone with you.
Hmmmmm I'm pretty sure this is what he said last year.
The big surprise ended up being cancelled hahahaha.
But reality check aren't these events ment to be big reveals otherwise what's the point when we already know the existing games and they'll be put out wither way.
Does ubisoft not think at this point they may aswel male.a new Prince of persia game.
Its only a remake.
Its like was skull and bones even worth it?
Let alone a remake of a game which was good but not that amazing its going to smash everything in its path. Prince of persia wasn't even that big of a series in the firdt place.
The system we have now is just awesome that they can update on the fly, back in the day a game breaking bug would ship with games and that was that.
But at some.point the tides turned and the system out in place for this type of thing was abused by publishers to get the game out to hit a certain deadline and it became the norm and not the minority.
I guess the saving grace to that is, games can come out in early access for half the price so smaller developers can patch and make a game with community feedback. Yang and yang really.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner I'm in agreement that the media and comment sections fan the flames.
But can you blame them in a sense?
We are into the second half of the consoles life cycle and non of the first party big guns apart from a minor couple have actually released a fresh game.
I've probably forgotten a couple of just PS5 only games.
Then we have only had
God Of War Ragnarok ps4 and ps5 Horizon Forbidden West ps4 and ps5
Both games cross platform releases.
The rest of been remasters of games what didn't really need a remaster
The last of us part 1, the remaster yea its good but what a waste of resources being done by naughty dog themselves.
The last of us part 2, what the actual? They already did a patch for ps5, this did not need a re release or a tact on roguelike.
Then factions 2 cancelled what an absolute waste.
Bend no where to be scene but that's normal.
Sucker Punch, Ghost great game epic game, but we seen or heard nothing of whats next and the last game was a ps4 game.
Blue point? Released a launch game, haven't heard nothing since.
Firesprite??? Last game they made was back in 2018, its now half way through 2024.
What about fairgames? Cgi trailer last year and then nothing.
And probably loads I cant think of.
Yes games take longer to make and yes giving false hope to early and disappointing people.
But fans and myself want something to get hyped about.
2024 all we are getting is
a 5v5 hero shooter Concord which they spent alot of time on and didn't even explain why I should care or why its better than the rest.
Astro the shining star, im hyped for it but its still just 1 game in a year. Without knowing anything.
Until Dawn? Really? It doesn't look any different or better than the Original. May aswel just gave out a patch.
We know the games are coming but its like they've gone completely media blackout themselves than giving us small teases.
I think people are just getting a little frustrated with being half way through and we havent moved on from ps4 and we still waiting for the big hitters.
@The_Wailing_Doom question is do we need another hero shooter clone? Plus they didn't really give me anything that makes it stand apart from the others, they have to sell it to me in a sea of a million other similar games.

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate Summer Game Fest and Its Surrounding Shows as a Whole?
Its funny because we are now all praising xbox.

Re: Star Wars Outlaws Has a Meaty 30-Hour Main Story
Actually just listened to kinda funny and Greg was really impressed with it. Even making the uncharted reference as a positive.
I think these days alot of journos are looking at every game to be a masterclass and a complex system for it to be good.
When reality is. A decent story a fun gameplay loop and that's all we want.
We don't need every game to be a complex masterclass.
Trailer sold me and Greg has cemented my hype for this game
Re: Ex-PS5 Exec Shawn Layden Isn't Holding Back His Feelings on Xbox

Yea Phil no more slimy business, your parent has out its foot down for spending anymore money and making sure you sell the games everywhere because your already losing them money on game pass and are down 100 billion. Well done Phil.

Re: Listed Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Release Date 'Incorrect', Says GameStop

And the one what truly blew my mind was flashback, if you made it through the first areas and you could go in a subway and I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact you could actually get on the train and travel different places hahaha.
An era most kids will never experience, because games now do all that and more off the bat and we expect them to.
Re: That Bad Ass Power Rangers Beat-'Em-Up Is Probably Morphin' to PS5, PS4
Its Might Morphin Time!!!!!! I've got everything crossed for it to be good. Because you cant beat the SNES game back in the day, doing half the level and then morphin, I used to lose my sh** when it happened because I didn't think video games could do that, blew my mind.
I mean still a retro so its one step closer to my dream of having a full blown triple A third person action game of the original power rangers.
I mean we are getting a true TMNT triple A game so my dreams aren't lost yet.
Re: Horror Hit Alan Wake 2 Is Getting a Retail PS5 Release Because You Wouldn't Shut Up About It
@Malaise of course its a tactic. It may of been a great game but unfortunately it didn't sell brilliantly and remedy them sells are still in the red over this game, they haven't a made profit. So part wring up with someone and making some extra money maybe the only way.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong's Physical Editions Won't Have Actual Discs at Launch, Just Digital Codes
@PerpetualBoredom By kids? Easily. Taking games from the shelf, shoving them into the console, throwing the box down, getting bored, get another game, throw game on side, repeat.
I've had a good few kids and what I've learnt over the years is, it doesn't matter what or how you teach them, some children will obey and understand and some kids will say yes but ain't listening one little bit.
So I've had a few game boxes broke and a few discs scratched and I got fed up. So my last full collection of games was the ps4 and ps5 is basically all digital, it's hard to let go but means my kids can switch on their ps5 and just play.
Plus I can just control what games they have and don't have and when they are ready I can just unlock another game for them.
They aren't being naughty by damaging the games they are just being kids in a generation where everything is just instant and growing up in a world where music and films are now just online, so they never really understood taking care of physical games.
God only knows how much I tried.
Re: Some PlayStation Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over LEGO Horizon Being on Switch
Its called business.
Lego a more kid friendly game
Of course your putting a global brand for kids on switch.
Think how much money playstation are going to make.
Its not a true first party game, its a collaboration with Lego.
Put it on everything.
Xbox fan boys can say what they want, unfortunately no one is buying xbox so its not financially viable.
Re: Reaction: Summer Game Fest 2024 Showcases AAA's Endless Winter
@Shepherd_Tallon yep totally hit the nail on the head, we are literally foaming at the mouth for news every single day and by the time announcements come we probably already knew what it was.
On a more positive note I've found a 23min gameplay video which has been released with the trailer for the monkey ninja game Black myth and my god it looks as good as the cgi trailer in the game play.
Well worth checking out
Re: You'll Be Able to Test Ride Skate on PS5, PS4 Later This Year
@HotGoomba then why show it? Why do I need to see footage of a pre pre pre alpha build of a free to play game. Pretty sure they said there is a beta this fall aswel so now we are beta testing in public a pre pre pre alpha build.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong's Physical Editions Won't Have Actual Discs at Launch, Just Digital Codes
If the game plays with the level of graphics wise as the trailer im in disc or no disc.
But I am at heart a collector but unfortunately I'm old and have kids and ive found my disc collection is becoming very damaged and have had to resort to buying all digital so the kids don't have to touch any discs.
Its a shame but thats the way of the world.
Edit; just reading comments you all need to get over yourselves, no money because of this?
Jesus this isn't the first time this has happened.
God Of War im pretty sure did the same.
Didn't call of duty?
Hasn't many out the disc in just for it to unlock a download.
If the game is good, the game will sell
At least they have come out and said they are having a problem and its their first console release.
Alan Wake 2 didn't even bother with a disc version until now.
Re: Reaction: Summer Game Fest 2024 Showcases AAA's Endless Winter
The games were half decent. The problem isn't the show itself The problem is we are now a 24/7 news and announcement and leaks.
All the way through the year there are announcements and shows.
Back in E3 days any big announcements were held until E3, Gamescom and TGS.
We actually made calculated predictions of which show would have what games.
But now its a free for all, all year round.
Reality a all year announcement world makes any hype wash away.
Re: You'll Be Able to Test Ride Skate on PS5, PS4 Later This Year
I still don't quite get the build up for skate?
What was the whole m corp for a skating game?
To top it off, the game looked pretty awful,
Skate was always the top end graphics and leaning towards realism, this trailer didn't look much better.
Free to play aswel and we are years away?
I just dont think its worth it in the end.
Riders Republic has a quite robust skate section, that game looks better than this trailer
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2024 Great or a Letdown?
@3Above I also thought it was steam only but thats great. Day One for me,
Such shame we don't get a adult take of the original series, id love a third person triple a action power ranger game of the original series
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Summer Game Fest 2024?
Wait your missing some or at least one i dont see the monkey ninja game on there?
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2024 Great or a Letdown?
The fact and reality remains that we have 0 idea of what bug hitters are hitting us next year.
Thats what E3 used to be all about, getting us hyped for the next year and updates of what's still to come.
But now we know.
State of play let down, game fest let down, next lot probably will be games we already know what are coming this year and then let down.
Astro the only game which stood out at state of play.
Game fest not much for how long it was, so many indies and then they have an indie show after.
Power rangers looked like a great retro tmnt beat em up, black myth monkey game looks absolutely amazing but will that be the graphics of the gameplay if it is I'm all in but if this is just an advert for a generic game then meh.
I did like the koala prison break game might have a blast with my kids with that one.
Alan wake dlc not bad but predictable.
Everything else seemed to blend into one there all the same games but a different skin. But that maybe because work is slow, im tired and im quite ill.
I may have to re look at what was shown when im not let down.
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2024 Great or a Letdown?
@UltimateOtaku91 I watched and fell asleep thinking wait is this capcom
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2024 Great or a Letdown?
@3Above wait power ranger pic and you didn't mention the awesome power rangers game which saved the show.
Shame on you
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2024 Great or a Letdown?
Who in here is part of the 2% 3% who put excellent and very good hahaha what was you watching reruns of the greatest hits of E3 because you definitely didn't watch the same show I watched
Re: Rumour: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is a PS5, PC Game from Day One, Reveal at Summer Game Fest Tomorrow
But surely instead of the garabage state of play show we got with only 2 PlayStation games, then why save a game like this for someone else's show?
The world has gone mad
Re: Concord PS5, PC Will Reportedly Require a PSN Account to Play
So your reporting rumours which anyone could of predicted?
The big mistake this developer and Sony are making is the marketing is so bland and generic. Non of the trailers shown have given me a reason as to why this hero 5v5 shooter is any different to all the rest.
One would think they would know that it has to stand out and be different and this should be shown off from the get go.
Yet we have had a cgi burger and a cgi story beat both in my eyes great cgi and then some how at the end of the great graphically looking trailers we get shown a downgraded very generic looking 5v5 game with no outstanding feature.
It's like no one asked them the big question what makes yours stand out.
Because no one cares if a new story beat comes each week if reality is it's not really influenced by ourselves it's just another cgi trailer for the next 5v5 match.
If one was to watch the trailer without context, I'd say it makes for a great single player game fps/third person game.
Re: Free Cristiano Ronaldo Backed Football Game UFL Kicks Off PS5 Test This Week
Sorry unless your going for ultra realism or pin point controls there is no competition for the fc games.
Love or hate the game but it is a solid football game and no one has come close to it ever since pro evo got destroyed.
Re: Anticipated Horror Game Slitterhead Debuts First Gameplay at SGF
And hmmm people wonder why there is no hype for these events anymore.
Half the things are revealed before hand and its not even leaks.
Re: Random: Ikea's Going to Pay Players for Serving Swedish Meatballs in Its Roblox Store on PS5, PS4
@ShadowofSparta most of the games on it are very kiddy and easy and gives you options to buy things within it.
But dig a little deeper and you'll find actual in depth games, which honestly if they was released as a normal game and maybe not the whole rolblox graphics they'd be very well received.
Mainly tycoon management games.
But examples
A resturant tycoon, free build a restaurant, hire chefs, waitors. Sort your menu, basic and complex dishes which require extra equipment, also with a drive thru element, its actually quite in depth.
Prison tycoon, design and build your own prison freely buy more land, a basic but entertaining arrest criminals for your prison.
Working cctv, hire guards, level up so you can have bigger cars to arrest more prisoners, level up for criminals to be brought to you buy bus, your prison can become huge, you can allow family visitation, people can become hurt and need a infirmary, its quite in depth once you get into it.
Shopping mall tycoon same concept, of having to go get your goods and then you work up to employing drivers and a lorry to get your goods, a manager who auto orders your stock, finance reps who give out loans, employees, free build.
I mean honestly I'm truly not one for roblox, most games are pretty wait for money to go up press a button, but as I mentioned there are some actual in depth games within it.
I'd say this game is what dreams should of been.
Honestly I hope who ever was behind this game end up making a more adult better graphics version and give us the dreams we all wanted because they know what their doing with this genre.
End of the day people can say what they want about this game but it literally gives anyone a chance to make a game and make money off of it.
Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for Summer Game Fest 2024?
Nope didn't even know it was this week until end of last week.
Then he says dont get hyped 9 out of 10 its stuff you already know about.
Unfortunately gone are the days where we would get excited for E3 game news and reveals happen all year round now and to be honest, its nerfed hype completely.
Doesn't help that playstation have already said their games ain't ready until next march onwards and the best playstation could muster was a 5v5 hero shooter and the life saver astrobot.
I'd be annoyed if playstationed held back a reveal bigger than their own presentation for this. But I dont see it happening.
I do miss E3
Re: Random: What Happens to Your Digital PSN Library When You Die?
How is this even news?
If you ain't been living under a rock, then everybody should know that digital games are not yours. They are basically until you either delete your account, forget your password, move on from gaming or die rentals.
The whole point of digital for companies are so that everyone has to buy a copy to play.
They aren't your games never will be never have been, just a licence so you can play them.
Why would anyone think it will change just because that person dies.
Physical items are the only possessions you can hand down. Anything digital is gone with you.
Re: Don't Expect GTA 6, Judas, Beyond Good and Evil 2, or Josef Fares at Summer Game Fest
Hmmmmm I'm pretty sure this is what he said last year.
The big surprise ended up being cancelled hahahaha.
But reality check aren't these events ment to be big reveals otherwise what's the point when we already know the existing games and they'll be put out wither way.
Re: Ubisoft Calls in Second Studio for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake
Does ubisoft not think at this point they may aswel male.a new Prince of persia game.
Its only a remake.
Its like was skull and bones even worth it?
Let alone a remake of a game which was good but not that amazing its going to smash everything in its path. Prince of persia wasn't even that big of a series in the firdt place.
Re: Little Nightmares 3 Delayed into 2025, Quality a 'Top Priority'
@Pusher2021 @Malaise totally agree.
The system we have now is just awesome that they can update on the fly, back in the day a game breaking bug would ship with games and that was that.
But at some.point the tides turned and the system out in place for this type of thing was abused by publishers to get the game out to hit a certain deadline and it became the norm and not the minority.
I guess the saving grace to that is, games can come out in early access for half the price so smaller developers can patch and make a game with community feedback. Yang and yang really.
Re: Latest State of Play Is One of the Worst-Received PS5 Shows Yet
@PsBoxSwitchOwner I'm in agreement that the media and comment sections fan the flames.
But can you blame them in a sense?
We are into the second half of the consoles life cycle and non of the first party big guns apart from a minor couple have actually released a fresh game.
Demon Souls
Returnal
Rachet
Spiderman 2
Horizon dlc
I've probably forgotten a couple of just PS5 only games.
Then we have only had
God Of War Ragnarok ps4 and ps5
Horizon Forbidden West ps4 and ps5
Both games cross platform releases.
The rest of been remasters of games what didn't really need a remaster
The last of us part 1, the remaster yea its good but what a waste of resources being done by naughty dog themselves.
The last of us part 2, what the actual? They already did a patch for ps5, this did not need a re release or a tact on roguelike.
Then factions 2 cancelled what an absolute waste.
Bend no where to be scene but that's normal.
Sucker Punch, Ghost great game epic game, but we seen or heard nothing of whats next and the last game was a ps4 game.
Blue point? Released a launch game, haven't heard nothing since.
Firesprite??? Last game they made was back in 2018, its now half way through 2024.
What about fairgames? Cgi trailer last year and then nothing.
And probably loads I cant think of.
Yes games take longer to make and yes giving false hope to early and disappointing people.
But fans and myself want something to get hyped about.
2024 all we are getting is
a 5v5 hero shooter Concord which they spent alot of time on and didn't even explain why I should care or why its better than the rest.
Astro the shining star, im hyped for it but its still just 1 game in a year. Without knowing anything.
Until Dawn? Really? It doesn't look any different or better than the Original. May aswel just gave out a patch.
We know the games are coming but its like they've gone completely media blackout themselves than giving us small teases.
I think people are just getting a little frustrated with being half way through and we havent moved on from ps4 and we still waiting for the big hitters.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for May 2024?
@The_Wailing_Doom question is do we need another hero shooter clone? Plus they didn't really give me anything that makes it stand apart from the others, they have to sell it to me in a sea of a million other similar games.
