I certainly don't want Insomniac to be known as the Marvel studio from now on, and hope they get back to their own IPs. I mean, they don't say it will ever happen with Sunset Overdrive, just not right now.
Happy to pick up Borderlands 3, though I can't make heads or tails about the different "cuts" dlc. Haven't played NHL since mega drive, but enjoyed a recent NoClip doc on the series, so might actually give this a go. Can't believe they put Among Us in this, but will get go back to this to finish off trophies.
With a new PS2 emulator and Sly's release showing good numbers for Sony, I can't see why they wouldn't try to pursue making a PS3 emulator for PS5. It's all about the money!
I had always hoped we would see more from it, but I'm genuinely not surprised. They never gave it a chance, just like with the first release. The price completely screwed any chance of it doing well day one, and then the complete lack of first party support has led to its downfall. Thanks Sony.
As we get further into the generation, devs are signalling they are hampered by Xbox Series S's specs. Microsoft have certainly held games back and I'm glad devs can just release and work on their ports with more time.
@andrewsqual no, I was speaking about Sony showing The Last of Us Part 2, Ghosts of Tsushima, and Death Stranding on repeat for years. Last of Us being the particular culprit that was shown since 2016. Sony was criticised for showing those three too many times before release. So yeah, they have taken it on board to show things when games are closer to being ready.
Everyone online body made fun of Sony for announcing things years in advance, and more snippets each year until release. So yeah, Sony took it to heart and are only announcing things once they are about ready and once they are certain.
Really loved this game, and just into new game plus now to finish up the last couple of trophies. The lack of the compass on the hud was one of my only real gripes about the open world sections of the game while playing. Frequently hitting the scan button to see if I'm heading in the right direction was annoying. It would be good if they added markers as well.
It will get announced next week for the week after, we will get hyped and then all the games we all expected and hoped to see will not get shown at all. It's the same every year. I really wish it wasn't this way.
I think the only other Xbox exclusive I'm holding out for is State of Decay. I played a month of gamepass on mobile and it was one game that had me coming back for more.
1. Drop the price 2. Build a team to port PSVR1 games 3. Pay Capcom to port RE7 and make RE2 and 3 VR. 4. Just get your wallet out in general to any studio that hints at VR development. 5. Pay Valve for the Half Life Alyx port we all assumed you were trying to get.
And yet, they can think PS5 is only halfway through its life cycle with game budgets in the 9 figures... slow down, you're destroying your studios and laying good people off.
Phil's the one probably trying to fight this but it will be the Microaoft board pushing for this to happen. If Game Pass and PS + subs are plateauing then it makes financial sense to get the games on other platforms. Sony isn't going to accept game pass, so they'll need to go the individual game route.
I'm sure I heard about this game ages ago from Golem on twitter. Nice that it's finally been confirmed and released. It plays well, and happy to see some kind of entry in the Silent Hill series again.
Every hero has different runs in the comics, different stories. This is one take on the Justice League and Suicide Squad. Sadly, this is Conroy's last performance in the Arkhamverse due to his death. Its unfortunate circumstances, but doesn't mean Rocksteady have to change the game to honour Kevin Conroy's legacy. Did people think villains have to reminisce before killing each hero? Maybe they could have pulled a Dishonoured type of "Kill or Save" scenario...? Batman was brainwashed and he had to be taken out. The Arkham trilogy is still there for people to revisit and enjoy.
So "confirming" appearances of: Rise of the Ronin Death Steanding 2 FF7 Rebirth Kojima's Dream being a horror game, maybe? Sonic Generations Silent Hill 2 Until Dawn Re-Release New Metro Game Judas 9 of the 15+ games being shown off
Optimistic as always, leading to disappointment. I think as it doesn't say "first party studios" anywhere then we won't see any major announcements there.
I need to get back into this. I kind of fell off when I found the overseer in the first town I went to, just at random and then just lost a whole load of quests due to that. I will go back to it as I love Fallout and think they have brought this back from what it started as.

Just bought the digital copy on PSN, as it was on sale haha. Of course this gets announced now...
Re: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP Brought Forward Two Weeks, Priced at $45
Just saw that Dead Rising Remaster is £45 as well. I will probably buy Lollipop and hold off buying DR. Dead Rising has been rebuilt on the RE engine.

Fantastic! Will be delving into more classics if they get trophies. It's incredible Sony doesn't make more of a news story over this in the blog

Fantastic game on PS2. Day one for me if they've done some upgrades to it.

Kicking myself I didn't buy it when it was £4 but I've got both versions now. Will finish ps4 at some point but enjoying the ps5 version brand new.

@thefourfoldroot1 yup. Checking my wishlist every time seeing if GTA trilogy has hit something lower than £27 yet... 🤣
Re: Sony Allegedly Pausing PSVR2 Production Due to Surplus of Unsold Stock
1. Drop the price
2. Build a team to port PSVR1 games
3. Pay Capcom to port RE7 and make RE2 and 3 VR.
4. Just get your wallet out in general to any studio that hints at VR development.
5. Pay Valve for the Half Life Alyx port we all assumed you were trying to get.

Re: Xbox Set to Announce Multi-Platform Plans Next Week
This is great news. Very excited to see what is announced.
I know it's silly, cause it's been a few years. Could Insomniac get to release Sunset Overdrive on PS5 now?
Re: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Has Almost 300 Trophies, But Zero PS5 Platinums
@extragood you are right. Even though it is not listed as such, it does cite controller vibration for ps4 version and haptic feedback for ps5.
Re: Upcoming PS5 Games for February and March 2024
I am very excited for Pacific Drive and have that preordered on the PS Store.
Re: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Has Almost 300 Trophies, But Zero PS5 Platinums
Can someone point me to the PS4 version of this because the PS5 version is the only version on the digital store when looking in the app?

Re: Rumour: Sonic Generations May Make a Comeback During Sony's State of Play
So "confirming" appearances of:
Rise of the Ronin
Death Steanding 2
FF7 Rebirth
Kojima's Dream being a horror game, maybe?
Sonic Generations
Silent Hill 2
Until Dawn Re-Release
New Metro Game
Judas
9 of the 15+ games being shown off

An Astrobot game and many announcements. I don't care how far away these games are releasing. Give us news!

Re: Is the PS5 Getting a Spider-Verse Game? Fans Think So
@The_Great_WmR yes, they were rumoured to be working with Sony Pictures Animation. So not so much confirming a Spider-Verse game but could have been.
Re: PS Plus Premium Will Add PS1's Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Next
I really hope it does have trophies. Loved this game as a kid.

Re: Weird and Wonderful PS5 Road Trip Title Pacific Drive Arrives in February
For some reason I'm comparing this to Dredge in some way, but it's what I think of when looking at this and I'm very much down for this game.
