Mo’ Pro, mo’ problems, amirite?

Base game was utterly fantastic and I’m glad I got to enjoy it in that regard.

Exciting!! I think the whole Death Stranding concept is really cool and has potential to be expanded upon like this so I’m all for it. Only thing is it’s hard to imagine it without Sam/Norman Reedus being the main character.

Can’t wait for all the negative comments about Kojima in here. Say what you will but he’s the only one making actual playable new things and not just rehashing the video game same stuff over and over. That takes talent either way you cut it.

@TheArt agreed! The graphics in the latest WRC are the best by far and is what I consider the most realistic dust trails in a console racing game. They did a really good job with everything!
The only tweak is what I mentioned… just a tad more gritty would go a long way.

I think EA/Codemasters did a fantastic job with that latest WRC entry on PS5.
Only thing I’d ask for in future entries is for it to be a little more gritty. Like Gran Turismo and plenty of other games, it’s a bit “sterile” looking when it should have the contrast cranked a bit.

Here’s to more years of great rally racing!

Just like the Nintendo Museum exclusive keychains!
I’m in the Osaka airport leaving Japan as I type this and I’m so sad I don’t have more room for everything I wanted to buy lol. Also sad/mad that I won’t be able to get one of these while I’m already here!

I love this!!! Preordered!

The most dark souls/fromsoft stuff I’ve seen in a movie was some of the scenes from The Green Knight. I’d love for an entire movie of that, which this will hopefully end up being. Very cool!

I respect Kojima’s form and style so much. He has an almost unmatched understanding of his mediums.

THIS. EXACTLY. Well said!!

“Personally, we’d like Sony to prevent publishers from doing this. While we can understand there’s a cost associated with cartridges, Blu-rays cost pennies, and if publishers want to release a physical edition, they should be forced to put the entirety of their v1.0 game code on the disc.”

It looks so good… the first game made a permanent mark on my life so needless to say I’m really looking forward to this sequel. Let’s go, Juuuunnneeee!!!

@illegalmonkey you win the comment section today. Lol

I have fond memories of this back when I was in the military playing this over a 2 person lan party in my barracks. Reviving each other fighting the big “boom” guys.

The game is cool but not sure I need to play it again. Maybe for nostalgia-sake I’ll buy it on sale.
When Halo releases, I’ll be all over that in a second. I’ve only ever played 1 and 2 so there’s a lot of content I missed out on that I’m looking forward to with that. Hoping we get the entire collection if that drops!!

This show, this season 2, is done soooo well. Last night’s episode was amazing. The transit tunnel scene was intense as hell and seeing them emerge into the rain outside the theater was so cool… it’s such an iconic scene as a fan. I’m enjoying every single episode so far!!

It comes down to me just not playing multiplayer games. Scheduling time and network dropouts and committing all that time for a session… I’m just not interested. It can be played single player I hear but it not designed to be so…

I like the concept with one universe—actually I LOVE that—but I’m just not interested right now… I like a dedicated single player game and always have. I’ll wait for a review or some hands on stuff before I give a final decision.

I have a tough enough time trying to play Mario Party on Switch with 2 other people. And those rounds take a loooong time.

I feel like this isn’t a good sign that they had to put out a(nother) video for it. Interest might be much lower than expected 😬

@Dominator2885 I’ve got to agree there! I think I’ve only ever beaten GTA 3 and Vice City back in the day. The maps were large enough to feel explorative but not too large to make learning them too difficult. So very much excited for this!! I think Sucker Punch is going to make a true gem here.

I was blown away by the map size in Tsushima so this could be bonkers.
I hope there is a lot to look at and see in the in-between because a large map by itself without any real purpose/just for the sake of it could actually harm it. That’s why I bounced off GTAV so many times, it was just too dang big and overwhelming.

@DennisReynolds going that extra download and install step is the icing. How many times I buy a game after work on a “night off” and can’t even play it because it takes so long to download and install. She got you the gift and also ample time to play it that evening! Don’t let that one get away!

Honey, when you’ve made the sale, stop sellin’.
Already preordered!
Will likely avoid this coverage so it’s fresh as can be. Will be fighting the urge though.

One could argue a poster or t shirt would show you’re a pretty big fan. But a glorified female mannequin with exaggerated features is just awkward.

@Korgon my exact thoughts! I know I can buy them on steam but I’m not a PC/Mac player and just want console re-releases!

I welcome a rewind feature. If you don’t like it, don’t use it.🤷‍♂️
I never got upset with a game for letting me change the difficulty during gameplay. …I’ve never used that option but I also never held it against the game knowing it was there.
Options are great, it’s just up to the person to decide if they want to use it.

ONE. HUNDRED. PERCENT. Getting this.

@Kienda thank you for this!! I’d buy you a caffeinated bevvie if I could

That really gets under my skin… some people just aren’t aware of themselves or their surroundings a lot of the time. I sadly write this as an overly aware westerner. Between the whole Trump presidency crap and now this I’m so ashamed to be a westerner. 😫
Edit: turns out, it wasn’t westerners 😮‍💨

Article title is hard mode.

I for one appreciate the warning. Wouldn’t you want to be warned if you were affected by something mentioned? Just because you haven’t been affected doesn’t mean someone else hasn’t.

Might try and hit the Seattle or LA one… no Portland, womp womp…

I actually got choked up watching this. My best friend and wife just had a daughter in December so it hit extra hard on that level. He’s also getting this and is a huge fan of Kojima/MGS/DS. I’m freaking stoked for this game…

WOW this looks stellar from the trailer. What I love about it is the grittiness and how it’s not so bright and colorful like GT7. Don’t get me wrong, GT7 is beautiful and dreamlike but sometimes I want my sim to be more sim-y like this with higher contrast etc.
Will likely get this if it reviews well!

So freaking excited to get some news on this. It’s been a delicate balance between avoiding spoilers/keeping things a surprise and trying to get some release date rumors and the like.
This is my number 1 anticipated game this year… hoping it releases sooner than “late 2025”, although that’s perfectly fine all things considered, I guess.
Either way, can’t wait!

I forget if I had Underground or 4 for GameCube back then (pretty sure it was 4) but either way it’ll be cool to revisit this series again. Absolutely loved 1+2 and I’m hoping my wife wants to take turns playing 3+4 together again like we did 1+2!

I’m laughing so hard… this is INSANE.

Loving the attempt to bring the old style gameplay into the world of high fidelity graphics.
I’ll wait for a review as it seems there is some jank to it. Looks promising though!

I learned in this comment section that this is not Forza Motorsport like I’ve played on Xbox back in the day (haven’t played a Forza game since 2!)
Instead this is sort of a spinoff, more arcadey racer.
That’s kind of cool and smart considering there’s already a masterclass sim racer available, optimized for the system: GT7.

I’m still not sure if I’m getting this or not. I’d kind of rather another Dirt game or something instead of this. I do remember loving Forza Motorsport back in the day though so we shall see what reviews say. I’m one of those who thinks $60 is fair: it’s brand new game for some, myself included. I expect to pay $60 for new games.

@Jimmer-jammer this is exactly what I was going to say. It makes sense to do 3 from a cost perspective since some locations in 3 are in 2 (and vice versa) so they can reuse some assets/things but I’d really love for a proper 1 remake in the vein of 2.
If they could combine 1 and 3 or do some kind of interweaving stories thing like last of us part 2, that would be insanely cool and fresh.

Is it bad if I like the art direction better than Returnal’s? I played Returnal for a bit when it was free on PS plus but this is more colorful and “fun”.
I may check it out if it ends up rating well. It just goes to prove to myself, it’s not always about better graphics.

Incredible… I just don’t know how it’s possible. I cringe at the mere thought of having to start one game over because I took a hit, nevermind multiple games.

Ugh, it seems I’m not alone in my wishes for another single-player Rainbow Six.
I played the crap out of every Rainbow Six, especially 3 (the Alcatraz level was awesome) and both Vegas games.
Really wish they’d re-release Vegas for consoles. I don’t play computer games, despite them both being on Steam. Ubisoft, please release a dual pack port for modern consoles for us folks who don’t do this online competitive gameplay! I want to hunt terrorists and unlock stuff!

Let’s goooooooo!!!!
I can’t wait… I want to know more but I don’t want there to be spoiler-y stuff. Kojima is usually pretty good about not giving away key plot points and keeping pretty much all the mystery intact.
I need another set of hands and eyes so I can keep playing the first one but also make a dent in my backlog. The first one for me is infinitely playable.

I’ve always wanted to do it but never have: I’m going to take off a day or two of work when this releases. I cannot wait to play this! I was and still generally am obsessed with the first one. Can’t wait to see what happens next in the story and what technology/cool tools and gadgets will be available for use.

My body is parcels are ready!

This is one of my three most anticipated shows at the moment. Severance is finally out so that leaves 2:
-The Last of Us: Part 2, and;
-Yellowjackets Season 3.

Can👏not👏wait👏

Had fun with the first one but have no interest in going back for that or the others again. Was kind of a dark time in my life and I never cared for the roided-out huge upper body macho “dudes”.

Yea, gonna pass. Let’s meet back here when Halo releases, that’s what I’m really looking forward to!

Day one, full price.
I’ll sell plasma if I have to.

@Hyena_socks that’s so good to know it actually is good. It reviewed well but I love a personal recommendation over a mass review any day. It looks so cool and stylish. What sold me was the Shining Force 2 style battles.

@Llamageddon Was not aware of this one but I’ll check it out, thanks!

Looks really cool but the only mouse/rat game I have in my radar at the moment is Small Saga. I hope that comes to consoles so badly…!

I thoroughly enjoyed Outlaws, far more than Survivor. To each their own I guess…

I would, and I will, buy a Master Chief collection on PS5. Day one.
I haven’t played any beyond 2 but I played the crap out of 1 and 2 on Xbox back in the day.
I’d even sign up for PS Online again to play the online portions again.
I am not an online gamer but I will be one (again) if it’s for Halo.

I always read that people try games on GP and then buy them on PS5.

I’ll offer something different:
Kojima is creative, pushes boundaries, has insane attention to detail, and is genuinely one of the only talented visions in the game industry these days. I can play tons of other games that I shoot people and they fall and I loot bodies, etc. I appreciate his offering of something different in this shooter/Ubisoft-open-world/metroidvania/turn-based/dialogue box filled landscape.
This is currently my most hyped game at this point in time. Alongside that on the same list is Dragonyhm, Petal Runner, The Transylvania Adventure Of Simon Quest, Twilight Bastion… a few others.

The first game was great as it unfolded and we learned the story and plot and there were a lot of points where I was like “WTF JUST HAPPENED.” Genuinely confused sometimes but always realizing what was going on. Very interesting, on-brand Kojima stuff.
I can’t say I have that excited reaction for many other games.

This game is amazing and deserves so much more credit!!
It is filled with charm and humo(u)r. It’s fun to play with people watching because it feels like you’re watching/playing a cartoon.

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk @helbertpina well alright then! I’ll give it a watch if there’s at least some gameplay shown. Thanks
