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.

92.742 GB downloaded and installed in 2h20m....not bad. Now only 6 days and 11 hours to wait...ugh!

Cleared out some space on the hard drive so when autodownload hits then it’s smooth sailing. Here’s hoping I cleared enough with the inevitable day one patch.

Yes! So people can finally stop complaining about this topic.

Great! Picking up Thumper and Superhot VR.

Great! I got the PS3 version, but never got around to playing it. I would happily get a remastered version rather than dusting off the PS3.

So happy to hear that it turned out well. I loved the Robot Rescue demo and was hoping that we would get a full experience.

I'm excited to try Friday the 13th. It is the perfect month for it.

Spider-Man all weekend. I’ve been playing it since it released on Thursday at midnight. Put about 10 hours in so far, mostly in exploring, street crimes, and side missions. Leveling up fairly quickly at 11 already (50 looks like the cap). I'm loving it. Insomniac does brilliant game design. Just like Ratchet and Clank, you feel underpowered at first but they introduce new skills and gadgets that make you into a real hero. It does feel heavily influenced by the Arkham games, but it has a distinct personality and humor. The world building is deep and intriguing. The combat and swinging mechanics are perfectly honed. Neither is super complicated but mastery of them is a satisfying journey. The easter eggs sprinkled throughout the game show the care and love that they have for Spider-Man’s history and the whole Marvel comic universe.
