The problem I have with the 'Journey influenced' games is that Journey itself was, and still is, a perfectly executed experience (especially in multiplayer) to the point that everything since that has attempted to surpass it with semi novel takes have only really reminded me of how great the original game continues to be. The art direction of many just ape Journey so closely that they end up as sadly rather generic affairs.

I'd love to see Arc"s visual flair bring some PS protagonists to life. Kratos, Aloy etc with an anime flair will certainly sell even more copies.. Considering how many devs loan out their characters to rival devs it'd be a riot to see Ryu, Bison, Mai and more as later content

Humorously they've paid a few outlets to not say a solitary bad word about Mindseye despite this being an odds on unmitigated disaster.

Game looks legitimately beautiful

To a goose one does not boo

35 minutes of Xbox multiformat games and 5 mins of PS exclusives.

@AhmadSumadi Low brow smut like that?
Of course it is!!

@arsmolinarc The movie industry gave us Citizen Kane, Godfather, Eraerhead but also Nymphomaniac and Freddy Got Fingered. Literature gave us Shakespeare, Goethe, Dostoevsky, Cervantes but then also gave us Jackie Collins and 50 Shades Of Grey. Music gave us Beethoven, Bach and Miles Davis but also 'I Like Big Bootys And I Cannot Lie'. Art gave us Michelangelo, Goya, Titian, Turner but also gave us Tracey Emin's Bed.
All artistic genres have multiple avenues where guff sits along masterpieces.

@Perturbator Those 90s Christian conservatives snuck back into the conversation on the lack of morality in games

Is it any more ridiculous than a 'roids ridden Kratos ambling around in nowt but a cod piece when it's -40°?

If anyone is subscribed to PS Plus and want a Ridge Racer fix then play the upacaled PSP game. It's truly fantastic.

The obscurantism of Clair

Trevor in GTA5 is introduced with him continually stamping on a human's skull until it's merely a pavement pizza and he's seen as the comic relief by millions.
A derriere jiggles in a shooter and morality suddenly takes precedence.

My my, hey hey
Concord ain't here to stay
But it's better to burn out
Than to fade away
My my, hey hey

Pause the trailer and read the post launch road map. It's utterly baffling.

The puns on this site are a cross between Tommy Cooper, Tim Vine and the Ha Ha Bonk book from the 80s.
That's a positive btw

The King of All Cosmos is still one of the greatest video game characters ever created.

@AverageGamer You may possibly be correct but from what I've seen and the entirely negative previews I'm betting on it being a mega flop

I think it's going to need some video game viagra to stop this from flopping hard The preview event that some journalists were treated to was not great by most accounts.

@Gazray A rather trite comment to make. It's not really very helpful just to lump everyone in the same group just because they have issues with certain aspects of a piece of art. Comes across as bad as the folk you're trying to mock.

First game was a sort of Aesop fable that was perfectly paced and told a compact tale without recourse to a sledgehammer. The more I think back on the second game (and thus this second series) the more holes and imperfections I encounter.

Tapper on my old 48k.

@MrPeanutbutterz It just pleases some people to play these over sexualised games. There are many females who happily geek out on this sort of stuff too.
I personally find it to be simple throwaway fun.

The mind is perplexed at why this should exist.

@Jayslow This legitimately got a big laugh out of me.

"I won't deceive" says Eve
"I will courteously weave
Into your NIKKE dreams will I wake
And shake 'n' bake my sponge cake"

The modders are on summer vacation at the mo'

Despite having all the time in the world to shadow drop an optimised product it still released in a peak Bethesda state.

Edge's review summed it up

Sony really can be buffoons of the highest magnitude at times. Certainly when it comes to this silly region lockout on PC. Considering Shift Up's position in regards to the situation I'd have thought Sony would've run it past them first and asked for their input.

@Cornpop76 I wouldn't begrudge someone a purchase based on fondness for an actor's appearance in a video game but it's an area I have no interest in when making my own.

@IOI Fully agree with your comment. I do wish the industry would stop this fawning over movies and real life actors.

@Zman0069 All art forms have critical analysis. If it's sent out for public consumption then people have a right to judge it.

To quote Christmas Vacation's Eddie
"Its the gift that keeps on giving the whole year"

Stylistically the outfits in Stellar Blade are geniunely top notch in terms of their creative design.

But the nice and pleasant internet troglodytes told me it flopped.

A giant stride to 200 million come May next year

@GirlVersusGame It's an underrated trilogy. The third one is admittedly terribly naff and nonsensical but the first and second are geniunely great fun. There's some well known actors from the 80s too (Bruce Campbell playing it reasonably straight is a highlight).

Is Cordell a nod to the Maniac Cop films? I'm sure Robert Z'Dar who plays the cop is named Matt Cordell

I'm sure as certain that somewhere in a darkened room, with only a low humming monitor illuminating the inky moral blackness of the fanboy there'll be an issue made out of the fact that green is at the front of the car whilst the blue brings up the rear.

@Futureshark Considering the comment deletion I'd imagine PS Googled her too!!

Looks aMACEing

After that colossal goat cluck of an ending in Rebirth I'll probably skip the last part anyway.

'Faux Pen' is a bit of a faux pas

Image 40 got a smile from me

He knows how to pay the bills with those skills

The fantastic Demon's Souls remake is far superior to ND's lacklustre efforts

The shareholders will not be pleased

I'm currently cycling up in Bala and er...it's very 'tro'
