So much time has passed, Wahlberg was announced as Nate in 2010, that he is old enough to play Sully now hahaha. Holland is 23 years old. When the movie comes out in 2055, after Wahlberg drops out again, he can play Sully.

I wish they had put these out sooner because I would have used the Kratos stencil.
Pro-tip that I learned last year from a friend:
Tape the stencil to the pumpkin and use a pointed instrument (pen tip, small screwdriver) to poke a series of small holes along the lines where you intend to cut. I always used to free hand with a marker, but the tiny holes allow you to stay in the lines better. You too can, "Be better!"

I would rather it be highly polished and the best it can possibly be than rushed.

Uncharted 4 was delayed multiple times. Originally slated for end of 2015 to March 18, 2016 to April 26 to May 10. It was worth the wait.

Remaking a PSOne era title should include more than a visual upgrade in my opinion. Game tech and craft have changed so much in 20 years. The fact that the camera and controls were not modified makes zero sense to me. It will likely appeal to a core audience of nostalgia seekers and very few other gamers.

"Stingy checkpoints mean dying will send you back to the very start of a level."
This may be period accurate, but it makes the game a non-starter for me. I had the time as a kid in the PSOne era to replay levels endlessly, but it was frustrating even back then. I think many modern gamers will be turned off by this alone.

I'm very happy for fans of the original game, but I wish it had at least offered optional customizable controls/camera/checkpoints for those of us who want a more modern take on what seems like a wonderful world and character.

The original reveal made an impact on me and I have been wanting to get my hands on it. Happy it finally has a release date.

this is my only disappointment from the State of Play. I was really hoping.

We've had a horror game for PS Plus during October since 2016:
2016 - Resident Evil
2017 - Amnesia Collection
2018 - Friday the 13th

I would wager that we will get one this year too:
RE7
Vampyr
Little Nightmares (sequel coming 2020)
Layers of Fear (sequel released this year)/Observer (by Bloober Team for people wanting an indie)

@RogerRoger I loved a lot of Origins, but my favorite part was his music. The inclusion of Christmas bells in Batman mood music was genius for the setting of the game.

Fall is in the air, so I've busted out the Halloween season games. First up is Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut. I love Friday the 13th series and the slasher genre, so I can't believe that I have never played this game before. It is gory and hilarious at the same time. A really fun and satisfying puzzle game similar to Hitman GO.

How is it on PS4 Pro?

What do I call it? X What makes sense among the shapes? Cross

Otherwise it would be Triangle, Square, O (letter), X (letter)

I’m really confused by this headline and that one on Polygon. It doesn’t sound like there will be a new version of a company named Telltale Games, but rather that their projects are being revived under a new company banner. Is that correct?

Thus: “Telltale Games Projects Being Revived by New Company”

They need to let it die. Unless PlayStation Productions has a grand new plan, this cycle will continue indefinitely. There is obviously some mismanagement or creative disagreements which cause a string of five directors to last a year or so in the pre-production phase before very publicly disowning the movie in some cases. The wheels are spinning. But what do I know? Uncharted: The Movie coming July 2035

@BridgeToClarity Definitely picking up Yakuza 0. I got Kiwami for free from PS Plus, but I was waiting to start from the beginning.

Finally! I loved the remaster and really want to try out the VR missions.

@Hootnoodle The Valkyries make for some epic battles. There have been few experiences more satisfying in my gaming life than defeating Queen Sigrun. It feels like an insurmountable feat the first few times that you try.

I'd be down for new single player adventures for both characters, if they skip micro-transactions at release and after then I'll buy. Otherwise, I have no interest in supporting that model.

Thank you for the heads up! I love the score. Here's hoping that a vinyl edition gets announced soon.

Thank you! This sounds right up my alley as a huge film noir and point-and-click fan. Downloaded the demo to try it out.

@Rick_Deckard I have been interested in trying out the VR component of Wipeout too. Sammy's article last March made the VR version sound amazing and I just kept forgetting to pick it up.

The only positive that I can see to this is that maybe Rocksteady is launching the collection in preparation for revealing a new Batman game.

February would be good. It’ll give enough space between it to coming out on PS4 and then an upgraded version serving as a launch title with PS5 in the fall.

@Rob_230 Yes, the Drake brothers have reunited with Nolan as Iron Man and Troy Baker as Bruce Banner. There’s an interview clip from the press conference.

@RogerRoger I’m really hoping that’s the case. I enjoyed Origins and I’d love to see what WB Montreal could do on the PS4.

This game still seems right up my alley. The review text seemed to be leading to a much lower score than a respectable 7. Still really appreciate the review though as it touched on some gameplay issues that I can now anticipate rather than being surprised by them. I love classic film and atmospheric horror so I do not mind if it is not as scary as Silent Hill. I think there is a broad spectrum of what people gravitate toward in the horror genre in both games and movies. Some want to be disturbed, some to be frightened to the point of sweaty palms, some to be constantly jumping from their seats, and others to bask in a spooky/chilling world. I fall in the latter.

Finally, a release date! Will be pre-ordering as soon as it pops up on the digital store. I cannot wait to play this game and I know that I will want to replay it with the Curator's Cut.

So happy that I waited on getting this one. When I do pick it up, it will run as it should have on day one.

With indications that Microsoft is going to drop details of their next system at E3, I wonder if Sony is hanging back a bit to counter more effectively. Going first is great, but undercutting the competition and learning from their mistakes may be more valuable. Regardless, a more powerful machine doesn’t necessarily trump a great games lineup as the current gen shows.

Never mind about an Uncharted movie, a Netflix series would be great.

It's an improvement. The old one was just the two words laid over each other in black and gray boring font. This looks like a tech/game company now.

I really hope one of the games is a return of Prince of Persia

I hope we get a release date soon. I’m really excited to play this one after loving Until Dawn.

My favorite game on the PS4, so yes I will be checking out the doc. I am curious to see how it went from pitch through production to final product. Sometimes the behind the scenes story can really enhance appreciation of the game.

Always up for a good shmup and this looks like it will scratch that itch. Digging the synthwave score too!

@Flaming_Kaiser Exactly! I don't know why more people can't see it this way. If you're willing to pay $10-11 for a two-hour movie in a theater, which you can only see once there, then why wouldn't you pay $20-25 for a 5+ hour game that you can replay endlessly?

I'm loving this so far. Road Rage feels as intense and insane as it ever did. I played it on loop at least 20 times last night. Got 19 takedowns in one round. I like the Spotify integration too. Already had some playlists which fit the action perfectly.

Still a must buy for me as a huge fan of the Burnout series. I am sure many of the technical issues will be patched.

why wasn't it delayed so it could launch with this feature? they could have done an Aim bundle and Sony could have moved more of that peripheral.

Always interested to see what they get up to. Hope it’s part of the Anthology as that’s a great title for horror. I would love a release date for Man of Medan too. I need more to put on my calendar for the first quarter of 2019.

I’ve got an original OLED model, but I may pick up a blue one just in case it ever dies since the price will shoot up once production ceases. I still love mine and play it often. I just started adding PS1 games to it (via PS3 transfer).

Wow, after reading the comments, I am realizing that I do not put in as much time as I thought on gaming compared to other gamers here (516 hours for me). But these were my top three games and I was surprised by how much I put in the top two because I enjoyed my hours with them so much that I did not realize the time passing:
Red Dead Redemption 2 – 97 hours
God of War – 91 hours
Spider- Man – 58 hours

I really want the soundtrack and instrumental score to be released on digital streaming services. I also hope they put them out on vinyl with beautiful artwork.

It is cool that they keep it period specific. It's hard to imagine that some of the most often played Christmas songs are so old.

Papers, Please and SOMA have been in my wishlist for a while. I’ll be bringing the Vita home for Christmas break so PP is a perfect game.

That bear chase was epic. Loved that it ended with some kicks!

Shadow of the Tomb Raider and LEGO DC Super-Villains at half-price. That is why I wait on games released in the last quarter of the year. Patience literally pays off.

@glassmusic It's up there now. Just search "Synthwave" in the search box.

Finally! I have been anxiously waiting for this game to get a release date. I am not the best at rhythm games, but this one just looks like a lot of fun.

It wasn’t really in doubt that it would be masterful but it’s nice to see it confirmed as a masterpiece. Counting the hours until I can play it.

A good rule of thumb:
Does it come out between August and November? Do you want to save money? If yes to both then wait and buy it for 25-50% off at Black Friday/Cyber Monday. It’s that simple. For example, I got Mafia III and the Bioshock Collection for half price less than two months after each released. Don’t complain if you choose not to be a smart consumer of games.
