Can't wait for it, and it does look great. Just no idea when I'll actually get to it with Spider-Man and Tomb Raider coming out back-to-back right before this.
I'm not interested in Dragon Quest, so that doesn't bother me. I am the sort of person who has fairly limited game time though, and having both Spider-Man and Tomb Raider come out right next to each other will keep me busy. I also want to play Spyro, and I'll get to that when I can.
I also don't think anyone needs to buy every game they are interested in as soon as it come out. I see people complain about having a backlog fairly often, but the solution for the general population is to simply buy games when you are actually ready to play them. It rarely makes sense to buy a game and stick it on your shelf for months or years, or juggle multiple solo games at once. With how quickly games drop in price or go on sale these days, another deal or complete "game of the year" version is always around the corner.
I think they are good in certain situations. I did not own a PS3, so having the first party or exclusive games get ported over has been good for me. Most third party games though, I am not usually interested in. I either played it the first time around or was not interested in them the first time.
EA should just focus on what they are good at. That is, sports games and casual stuff like the Sims. I don't particularly like or dislike them these days, I nothing them. I would actually prefer that they let their Star Wars license expire or sell it off, sell BioWare and those properties to another publisher, and just focus on what they are good at and what they seem to care about.
I prefer the original sprites myself, they were more charming than this for sure. I'll stick with my SNES Classic, and hope the collection on Switch gets localized.
I am not fond of loot boxes, but I really don't like the path of government getting involved with video games. I'd rather gamers sort out what they want out of loot boxes with their dollars.
I still have it sitting on my shelf. I keep trying to get to it and will get distracted with other games. It will definitely be next though. I didn't play any of the DLC for the first game, but I really enjoyed it. If I am still having fun by the time the credits roll, I'll get this.
I could see Microsoft buying BioWare or something from EA, but I doubt they would try to purchase EA as a whole. I agree that Fifa, Disney, NFL, NHL and whoever else want their games wherever their customers are.
I’ll only be interested if it includes the things I used to love BioWare games for. That is, a compelling single player story driven game with interesting characters. If it is something like Destiny, I’ll skip it.
I fully expected it this year, I just have no idea when. I was hoping for an April/May release, but it could be a summer game. Sony definitely has a full schedule with everything they are promising for 2018.
Looks like it is trying too hard for sure. The gameplay itself looks pretty standard for a "retro inspired" indie game. I agree that I might have found the humor appealing when I was a teenager in the 90s and early 2000s, but now it just makes me cringe a bit.
Spider-Man and God of War are the two I am most excited for, followed by Red Dead. I am intrigued by the Secret of Mana remake, but I am not fond of the art style. I am looking forward to seeing more of Mega Man 11 as well. I'll be excited for Kingdom Hearts 3 whenever it is looking like it will actually launch. Lots of games, but those are a few that are sticking out for me.
There is a lot of potential for interesting stories across various mythologies. Unless I am forgetting any examples, Mayan mythology is not something that games have touched on much, so that could definitely be unique.
I think Sony has done a decent job of monetizing where it makes sense. Things like PS Vue and Now absolutely make sense as subscription services. I use Vue and will never go back to cable or satellite for TV. If I decide to switch to Hulu live TV or something, cancelling is simple since there is no contract. That's a service I can get behind.
When it comes to the games, I largely don't play multiplayer anymore, and have never really had an issue finding single player games on my PS4. I have also not really felt like the games I am interested in are asking for additional purchases all the time either. Looking at what single player games are coming out, I am not really worried about it.
I don't really care about trophies/achievements myself, but those look pretty brutal. I think you guys are right though, this will just encourage people to boost for these. I'm not big on online multiplayer anymore anyway, and online related trophies are sort of what turned me off on them to begin with. Any trophy that requires something that is just tedious or a grind (going to dozens of markers on the map to tap X to collect some useless trinket for example) is a waste in my opinion as well.
I'll check out whatever they are doing tonight, and maybe some of the panels tomorrow. I am just going in expecting a few release dates, God of War and Spider-Man being the two I want the most.
I enjoyed the first two, and will definitely be interested in this. IGN mentioned that the first letter of each sentence spells "Shadow" when put together. Might be a bit of a stretch lol
Sony has the home console market nailed down, I don't think they need to worry about the Switch. It is a different product that is appealing for different reasons. They are better off sitting side by side.
Instead of ignoring it or competing with it, I think they should embrace it. Putting some of their services on Switch might be more beneficial and certainly a less expensive option than going head to head with it.
I watched it the last two years and haven't been all that impressed. I feel like they spend more time on trailers for already announced games than on actual awards. I'll probably just check out the trailers after the show.

Re: Spyro: Reignited Looks Like Another Amazing PS4 Remake in 10 Mins of Gameplay

Re: The Golf Club 2019 Tees Up Official PGA Tour Licence
I haven't played the Golf Club games, but I am glad the PGA Tour license moved on since EA wasn't doing anything with it. I'll pick this up.
Re: Poll: One Week Later, What Are Your Thoughts on God of War?
My thoughts are, I am sad I haven't had time to do anything other than stick it on my shelf since launch day
Re: ANTHEM Will Be 'Distinctly BioWare', But 'Unlike Anything You've Played'
It will be unlike anything we have played. Like microtransactions for the good dialogue options.
Re: Sony Is Creating a New Game Development Team in San Diego
Cool. I feel like Uncharted is one of those series I can return to every couple years, know what I am getting for the most part, and have a good time.
Re: Avengers: Infinity War's Iron Spider Suit Joins Spider-Man PS4
Awesome. I’ll be curious to see what other suits are included.

Unless it's another game made by the Sonic Mania team, I doubt I'll be interested.
Re: Review: Shadow of the Colossus (PS4)
I've never played it before, but it is hard to pass with the scores it has been getting. For $40, I'll definitely be picking it up.

Re: Rumour: God of War Release Date Leak Points to 22nd March Again
I think Sony is going to be waiting until the last minute to announce release dates going forward. Then they never need to publicly delay anything.
Re: PS4 Exclusive The Seven Deadly Sins Gets a New Gameplay Trailer
Yikes, I am definitely not the target market for this.

Re: Hands On: Jak X Helps Plug a Hole in PS4's Library
I've never played the series, but this does look fun. I have the first game from the Lost Legacy bonus, I should probably check it out at some point.

Re: Geoff Keighley Teases at Least 15 World Premieres for The Game Awards
"World premiers" last year ended up being new trailers for already revealed games, so I am not expecting too much.

I'm not expecting a new AC game until 2019, so it seems like as good a time as any to port this.
Re: Deus Ex Certainly Isn't Dead According to Square Enix CEO
They are one of the studios that was announced to be working on the Marvel games, so I imagine they are very busy.
