@nomither6 honestly, I wanted to stream them using the PS3 games on PS+. But for some reason, my internet hates the streaming service from my PS5. In God of War, having terrible lag is actually a big detriment because every time I had to button mash an input, it would almost never register properly. So I REALLY want to play the originals and hope they get a proper and well-deserved remake
As someone who never played the originals, I just want a God of War Trilogy remaster, port or remake. I love Greek mythology and want to experience the originals so badly
Some FF7 Remake Part 3 news would be amazing but unlikely. I’m expecting all the Yakuza updates to be at the RGG showcase. I’ll take some RE9 updates though! Anything Clair Obscur (like a DLC) would be wicked too but unlikely for this State of Play. A Wolverine release date would be awesome as well!
1. I’m playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and just met Verso who’s the man
2. I have a wedding I’m attending a week after release. So I don’t want to start it then have a long pause in-between
3. Maybe if I’m patient, there’ll be a decent enough discount on Black Friday. Highly unlikely because it’s a PS Studios game but… dreamers gonna dream :’)
I really, really, REALLY hope we get a PS6 version down the line. Heck, I’d pay for it full price.
I platinum’ed the game well before the big update 2.whatever and had an amazing time. I expected CD Projeckt Red to go “The Witcher 3” route with a complete edition which includes the DLC and… a brand new trophy list.
Now, I understand I can play the DLC and all… no worries. But Cyberpunk 2077 was a slam dunk candidate to be a double platinum game. I refuse to auto-pop trophies so I would’ve had a clean playthrough. I’m torturing myself for no reason. This is a me problem, not a CD Projeckt Red/Cyberpunk 2077 problem
Yep, sounds fair. I honestly prefer him to map it out by himself rather than with a huge team. Too many voices in the conceptual stage can muddy the process. I see nothing wrong with this tbh. I’m actually more excited because of that.
Sweet! I’ve held back on playing this only because I have a massive backlog. I look forward to diving into the PS5 version down the road (if rumors are true/confirmed)
I still need to play the first one. I platinum’ed the second and have been slowly doing a second playthrough. Now I’m motivated to buy and play the first!
Octopath Traveler 0 definitely looks awesome. I love how all 8 characters will be able to contribute rather than just the 4. It spices things up from the second game. I’m looking forward to it!
….and the save data bonuses are such a sweet add-on. Honestly I don’t get why more studios don’t do this. It seems like a slam dunk move in most cases
Yeah, this is what I assumed the time limit would be which I’m absolutely fine with. I still want to see more and check out reviews before I commit Day 1
I finished Chapters 1 & 2 of Death Stranding and it took me 9 and 1/2 hours. I took my sweet time with it hoarding as many packages as I could find though.
Now, I’m taking a break and replaying Persona 3 Reload. Gonna do one “dungeon phase” at a time then take massive breaks in between tbh
Going to highly enjoy starting “Death Stranding 2” tonight after finally finishing & slogging through “Alone In The Dark”. That game was just meh to bleh IMO. DS2 should be a blast!
Square Enix should be able to do both. They’re more than capable of pulling that off. Just make a spin off series with the FF name that targets action like FF7R or turn-base then make the mainline games the other. And obviously keep going with FFXIV. Once FF7 Part 3 is finished, it wouldn’t surprise me if they have major changes to the way they go about FF in the future
I am now conflicted on buying this Day 1 or waiting for the community to build more strategically-placed structures before I begin. Seems like waiting may not matter if the natural disaster aspect can tear them all down 😂😂 I’m 100% playing the game; just don’t know if I’ll cave this week or next 😂😂
So if P4R was announced but not arriving until 2027+, what the hell does that mean for Persona 6 which hasn’t been announced? P6 has to be getting closer to a reveal by now.
Tons of questions now regarding this. Will they sink more money into this and try to make it work? Will they just can it? What happens to Bungie in either scenario above that results in a failure? If Bungie gets either bulldozed or resources significantly limited, is this Sony’s worst acquisition? Will Sony back off acquiring other devs because of this? Will Sony still desperately chase after live service games after literally losing billions of the acquisition proves unprofitable? Does Sony focus now shift to single player action-adventure games and they relocate assets that way? And many more questions. I’m not a live service shooter player myself so Marathon wasn’t interesting. But the ramifications of the game’s outcome was what intrigued me.
Time travel detective game maybe? Could be wicked tbh. It would fill in the void of Judgment if they truly are just moving on from it (which I hope not 😭😭😭)
@Nepp67 yeah that’d be great. I’m not tryna rip on the game, but the loot system is such a turn off. If it had simplified the gear system into just one of a kind finds through exploration & fights and was less daunting/time consuming, it’d be an even better experience. But I’m sure Tom’s love their loot system and trying to optimize stats/builds that way
Is this a prequel? If it isn’t, I’m confused why they went MGS3 instead of 1 for a remake. I’ve never played any of them but the remake looks excellent regardless
The combat is fun in these games but the loot system is some of the worse in its field IMO. But I may be in the minority there. Still may give it a go because I’m a sucker though
Cool cool. I’m hoping some actually big studio showcases something new though instead of everything we already know is coming. Horizon 3 tease maybe for a 2026 release? Something God of War? Insomniac Marvel update with Spidey or Wolverine (or better yet, Ratchet & Clank)? Uncharted remakes, side game or anything Intergalatic from Naughty Dog? Saros gameplay? Ghost of Yotei gameplay? I’ll take anything newish please 😭😭😭
I’m worried companies just push everything back to late 2026+ because of GTA6 only for it to be delayed to late 2026 and beyond.
Day 1 buy no matter what. Witcher 3 got me into the Witcher books so I’ll be forever grateful for that tbh. Plus, playing as Ciri is a dynamite decision if we didn’t have the choice to play as Geralt
Did the Cyberpunk 2077 release suck? Yes. But it was amazing later on so I feel like I still got my money’s worth anyways. I get people being hesitant on it but they did a ***** ton to repair that game. Only issue I have with them still is that they screwed people over who platinum’ed it before Update 2.0+. I would’ve loved to platinum it again so I’ll have to create a second account to play 2.0+ on the PS5 Pro
I’m holding off on DS2 at launch solely because I want to experience what the online community sets up in terms of zip lines and other stuff in the game. I feel like playing at launch as a person who sucks at setting that stuff up isn’t a good combo. It’s not like I won’t have to set up zip lines but at least having some to pave the way makes it easier :’)))
Replaying FF16 on Final Fantasy mode. Absolutely love Clive as a FF protagonist. Him & Cloud are probably my top 2. The Eikon fights are otherworldly beautiful on my LG G4
I just want the Steelbook. I wish they sold those separately because I’d bite on that so damn fast. I pre-ordered the regular edition Day 1 and would’ve paid extra for a steelbook. I might’ve missed it if they did do that but yeah.
I’ve actually only played 5ish hours of the game. But… I decided to hold it off because updates/patches will make this game even smoother and better. I stopped before heading into the area with the Gestral Village. If I had kept going, there was no stopping me. I very rarely have the patience to hold off on games that have me 100000% interested, but I felt that Clair Obscur was absolutely worth waiting for the most optimal experience. I cannot blame anyone for going full force into this game as its story, music, world-building, combat and characters all seem “high level” to me. The art theme is also incredible too which opens up the door for hundreds (over-exaggerating but whatever) of sequels/games with a different art medium in any world
So, I want to experience Clair Obscur: Expeditio 33 when it’s closer to being fully patched. I’d also love if they fixed the lip sync before I started back up. But that won’t ruin my experience tbh
Yeah I really wonder how this affects players who have beat the game on NG+. Will it be too easy for end game builds if it’s supposed to be played alongside the main game? I’m buying it regardless tho
I guess it’s technically a “shadow drop”. But the billions on trillions on gazillions of leaks were literally free advertising that hyped the game up. Most games that are shadow dropped do not have that insane build up for months. No shade to Bethesda because if it was planned, it was brilliantly executed.
Wonder if I could reroll a bit on mobile then still be able to use it on PS5 whenever that comes out? I have no clue how gachas on consoles work or if they even transfer
It’ll be nominated for sure. But I’d hold out on anyone saying (if they are) it’s an actual GOTY lock. Death Stranding 2 & Ghost of Yotei will most likely be immensely popular and well-crafted games
Expedition 33 deserves all the praise it’s getting though. Well done, Sandfall (slick studio name too)!
