Downloaded this and booted over my lunch break - big mistake. It was very difficult to put back down. Excited to see/play more.

@Stocksy FRONT AND BACK

Looks like a better time than ever to revisit Night City. So excited!

I haven't messed around with katanas too often in other Miyazaki games, but having the title "Samurai" is too cool to pass up.

Why does this look so good tho? Very cool, I'll have to snag a copy of the base game on a future sale.

Their incentive to crowd-base the design elements and music was weird enough. I didn't see this one taking off...too bad, I did want to fly a ship as a chimp 😕

This boss made me enjoy PvP more than anything else in Souls. Aside from the Dark Souls arenas anyway.

It almost feels like they did it to beat MS to the punch. Otherwise no short-term benefits.

Baseball isn't for me but I'm not gonna lie...I want this Steelbook.

Still staying unsubbed for now. Hopefully we see their service get an overhaul this year.

They really nailed the PS3 one. Heck they nailed them all, but that one was instant nostalgia for me.

I remember when I first saw Cloud in a gaming magazine then took said magazine to class (5th grade) to ask my friends who it was. That was how I ultimately ended up with my copy of FFVII. I'm very interested to see what announcements are in store!

You had me at Robo-Raptor Mounts. Time to beat the first game finally.

Thank goodness it isn't another arena fighter. This actually looks very competent, consider me interested!

Well uh...this month is not for me, it seems.

Special mention: revisiting PS1 games on VITA was fantastic with the button remapping capabilities.

I'll always miss Shinobido 2 and Freedom Wars 😟 Neither of them deserve perfect marks but they were easily my favorite VITA games.

@Uncharted2007 That's exactly how I felt about it. And RE8 was a good middle-ground between 7 and previous titles.

Overall it felt less like Resident Evil to me, but that initial playthrough will always stick with me. Primarily because I invited a friend over the day of release and we played straight from start to finish in one sitting.

I'm not getting my hopes up! You're getting your hopes up! 😤
...but for real I hope this is a worthwhile tease.

It wouldn't hurt for Sony to make some announcements to build up hype. I don't think they need to race to acquiring other companies, just remind people of the perks of being a PlayStation owner. I'm currently using my PS5 to play the Yakuza series, but my PS5-hype crashed overall after I played through Astro's Playroom and Demons Souls 😕

This is definitely not a statement I'd expect from Phil at a time like this 😆 He is certainly a character...

@Northern_munkey I want to glimpse into the universe where Patriots released instead of Siege...😔
This reminds me of Metal Gear Survive, the game that actually played fine but had no business using the "Metal Gear" moniker.

I personally am not affected by this (yes I own a Series S too, but 🤫) as I don't really play Acti+Blizzard. Like others, I'm concerned with the long-term ramifications this will have on the gaming industry overall.

@solocapers This ridiculous lockout is why I'll never play it. And to add salt to the wound I didn't even get to play it when I tried downloading the beta in the first place, as my internet was too crap at the time. Oh well.

Time to practice holding the Dualsense controller backwards! 😆

I absolutely love this trailer. Can't wait to play this.

@themightyant Yeah I can get that. It doesn't break any new ground per-say, I just really like the creator Joakim Sandberg's other works up til that point, so I have some bias there.

@EclipseZero Iconoclasts is very charming in animation and storytelling. Gameplay is solid but never overly challenging.
Strider is also super cool, though very action-focused.

@RenanKJ Its because of this bizarre name I just call it "Final Fantasy Nioh".

Really? I mean yeah as a Left 4 Dead with swords it's pretty good. I can never binge these types without getting bored, myself 😕

@danlk1ng It does make you wonder how different the overall plot will be considering the vagueness of part 1's ending...
It doesn't help that all we have to compare is Midgar vs og Midgar 😕 Though "FFVII Alternate Universe" would have been a banger title 😆

@PSXDave Pretty sure Final Fantasy VII Remake is a remake, mate 😉

Despite how easy it is to draw these lines between each meaning, these words get (incorrectly) interchanged frequently.

The technical issues are disappointing, but I played enough of the early access on PC to know I'll still enjoy this one. Especially with SotC as an all-time favorite of mine.

@BenGar97 I can't get over this. They named their YouTube channel the same thing...did they forget their own nonsense acronym?

I picked this one up for $10 with Steelbook and on PS5 I've had a blast so far. Very minor visual glitches occasionally, but never anything that halted my progress or pulled me out of the experience. Can't wait for the upgrade.

This looks a lot like Parasyte in a way, and I'm all for it.

@Esmerald Oh yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad month! Just an odd decision for Godfall. Mortal Shell is legit.

This sounds a lot like free-to-play Destiny 2 versus vanilla/launch Destiny 2 and seems like a poor decision.

Yes please. Always considered trying this via PS3. I hear two players will have very different experiences due to the variety of potential party members.

I was very impressed by and immersed in this experience. I was only upset by the overall absence of my all time favorite Radiohead track -Life in a Glass House- from Amnesiac 😔
Nonetheless, as a Radiohead fan this release is one of my favorite experiences of the year.

It's unfortunate that neither of these received console or PC ports.

This is the only way I'd play Godfall, so that's pretty cool!

@MakersMark Yeah I silenced all trophy notifications immediately, it was especially frustrating when they'd occur during or after cutscenes lol

Tekken is my absolute favorite fighting game series. And this is a hard pass.

The notifications for them are intrusive (by default), and for trophy chasers, they choose how you play the game and decide when your experience with a game is complete for you. Never been a fan.

Seeing PlayStation Home running again would be a trip. I didn't actually get to do a whole lot on it back in the day, but there's still some nostalgia there.

This may be a dumb question but why hold the game awards before the year is over and discredit games that release afterwards? Shouldn't this be held in January the following year?

The pirate is apparently a charge blade user 😉
