@get2sammyb Fairgame looked as generic as Saints Row. All that groansome 'hipsters on the make'. Looks like it'll be sleeping next to the Titanic two weeks after release
@doctommaso Never has a truer statement been made. Sony's plan to being a dominant force is to delve into the murky depths of live service failure so that they too can release flops that make no money and tarnish their developers names.
One of the few who thought Spiderman looks highly generic and was an active disappointment. Couldnt imagine a more shallow looking AAA experience with the combat and the set piece looking very dated
Spiderman was pretty vacuous tbh. All that visual bombast hiding a very ordinary chase with minimum skill involved. The combat, which had been lifted straight out of Arkhan Asylum on the PS3, looked as shallow as the original. The third party games were fine but as a Showcase to what first party games are on the horizon for phase two it was mediocre at best.
If I were to bet on it I'd say Bluepoint were originally meant to be working on an original IP but Sony coerced them into doing the remaster when From said they didn't have time to do it due to Elden Ring, Amoured Core and the ED dlc. I don't think it's a Demon's Souls style remake. I also dont think this rumour is true anyway so I'm basically talking out of my dung pipe
A totally bizarre defeatist attitude. I am invested in Playstation, but also in Nintendo and would probably return to owning an Xbox if it had anything I wanted to play. Great games MAKE consoles desirable. Go make some and I'll get an Xbox Phil
I do wish Sony would confirm whether Asobi are working on Astro 2 in VR or just a pancake flat game. Heck we dont even know what they're working on at all. Could be Knack 3
They really should somehow weave the Killzone universe into Horizon. It's already a ludicrous (in a good way) plot and having the Helghast be involved would be a neat twist
By ye gods just show the public whether Astro Bot 2 exists. Their most critically acclaimed title on PSVR has had no mention at all. Almost as baffling as their treatment of Bloodborne

Geniune classic video game

I want an expanded Mognet side quest
Re: Mini Review: Red Matter 2 (PSVR2) - Soviet Sci-Fi Sequel Makes for an Exquisite Follow-Up
Its genuinely worth it for the graphics alone. I dont usually say that but they're fantastic. Full 120 hz means it's super crisp
Re: Reaction: Sony's PS5, PC Live Service Strategy Won't Work If It's All Samey Shooters
Each to their own but I'll not play a single one of then. I'd rather have my cash fleeced from someone/something less generic

Re: Rumour: Naughty Dog's Troubled The Last of Us Multiplayer PS5 Project Was Sniped by Bungie
Can Bungie assess all of Sony's live service titles and say "Nope" thus saving us the tedium of seeing them all flop.
Re: Play Resident Evil 4 from a New Perspective with Free PSVR2 DLC
They didn't even mention Firewall. Ryan seems to be currently residing on cloud cuckoo.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Swings Back with Stunning PS5 Gameplay Trailer
@Exerion76 It looked terribly generic. 2023 and we're still playing Where's Wally with the TV screen, wondering where the X or O will turn up
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Swings Back with Stunning PS5 Gameplay Trailer
Ps5 graphics bolted on to PS3 gameplay. Combat looks terribly shallow and the on rails occasional button press sections looked two generations old
Re: Impressive and Beautiful Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Made with 'No Compromises' for PS5
No cross gen? Gameplay is exactly the same as the first and that had combat lifted directly out of Arkham Asylum on the PS3.
Re: Reaction: Sony Flubs First Proper PS5 Presentation in Over 18 Months
@TrickyDicky99 Yes but what about Hello Neighbour?
Re: Reaction: Sony Flubs First Proper PS5 Presentation in Over 18 Months
Not as disastrous as the Xbox One...but not far off
Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?
@twinspectre90 Returnal is their best game this gen as it's gameplay is front and centre.

Re: Sony Says It's Too Early to Judge PSVR2's Popularity
Look Sony, will you say Astro Bot 2 this Xmas. That's all you need to say. ASTRO BOT 2 THIS CHRISTMAS. Just say it.

Re: This Astro Bot Plush Toy Makes Him More Adorable Than Ever
@Axelay71 Indeed. Ludicrous why it hasn't been announced.
Re: This Astro Bot Plush Toy Makes Him More Adorable Than Ever
This dude should be thrust into the limelight. Rather than more remakes they should be giving us a full fat Mario Odyssey sized game
Re: Oh No, the Bloodborne Remake Rumours Have Returned
@Keyblade-Dan It is, in my humble opinion, the best game ever made.
Re: Oh No, the Bloodborne Remake Rumours Have Returned
@Keyblade-Dan Bloodborne's level design is phenomenal
