Not going to lie but It would be interesting if they did this. There is a bit of a buzz happening over at Xbox. Love that they are keeping things interesting. This industry is more fun with healthy competition.

They must be pretty confident letting the reviews come out so early. Seems like a good call.

Looks just as generic and uninspired as when it was revealed. So no...

When I played the demo I thought the jump was stiff as well but I'm thinking its that way on purpose. Trying to mimic the difficulty of old NES platformers.

Do critics opinions even matter when it comes to the Mario movie? Its making tons of money and its a kids movie. Mission successful.

I'm sorry. What in the holy hell are they spending the money on? I'm starting to think most of these studios are just dragging their feet on purpose. Hire some drill sergeant producers to get these people in line.

Bad timing. There is only room for a couple tag fighters and with Marvel Tokon on the horizon this has no chance.

@Juanalf That is the biggest travesty IMO. This would have been a for sure buy if that was on there.

Say what you want about Xbox but I'm still glad they do an early June event every year without fail. Just something to be excited about like the old E3 days.

I'm a huge Playstation fan. Why on earth would I buy a PS6? I have a PS5 Pro. You know there isn't going to be any true PS6 exclusives so why...

I do really like the cast but that one picture they showed... looked a bit off...

What is crazy to me is the disparity between certain teams that can make their budgets go waaaaaay further than some other teams. Like how does Remedy make Control for 30 million? does that mean that another game that cost 300 million is 90% better than Control? not likely, Control was one of the best games last generation and absolutely worthy of being called AAA. Even Alan Wake 2 with all its insane production value with the live action only cost them 70 million. I think producers need to reign in some spending at these studios. No more blank checks.

Good. I haven't gotten my fix since Pirate Yakuza. They normally have something out by now.

Because it will become redundant when the consoles are gone. They are getting a jump on it now.

Oh damn Critical Hits gave it a 4.5/10? Who the ***** is critical hits?!? Sorry folks... Youtubers like Luke Stephens and MrMattyplays are the people we listen to now.

I would have bought it if I could find it. Physical copies have been sold out since launch.

Gonna see what Alan Wake 2 looks like first.

Kind of a shame that they test the waters on Switch with such a meh game and call it quits from there.

More power to them. Honestly I hope it succeeds. The game industry is better with healthy competition. If it is as versatile as the rumours say I may consider it.

I tried the server slam and I'm just not into extraction. Which is a shame because I actually think the look and vibe of the game is amazing. But if it was a single player game, arena shooter or battle royale I would be in. It is the ONE multiplayer mode that I can't get into.

@LogicStrikesAgain I wasn't calling you out for anything. My comment is referring to the developer. Its a similar situation to Concord. They all thought they had the next great multiplayer game without a beta or showing it to gamers for feedback. Its sheer ***** hubris and they deserved to fail. Plus what a load of BS with Geoff at the Game Awards saying "The power of independent self-published studios pushing the medium forward". Oh yeah bro, Tencent is super independent. ***** right off with that...

Toxic positivity strikes again.

@J_Warrior Must be nice to have cheaper digital games. In Canada digital games from Japanese publishers are 5 dollars MORE than the physical release... I'm still waiting to find a copy of RE 9 physical but its sold out everywhere.

"A serenity soon to be disturbed". Serenity Now a Seinfeld RPG lets go.

It would probably be easier to make articles about the things Jaffe doesn't hate.

Anyone notice that physical copies are not really available everywhere? Normally I buy digital but here in Canada for some reason Japanese games digital is 94.99 but the physical is 89.99. Its so weird that the more expensive to produce version is cheaper than the more profitable digital version...

Didn't they buy Nixxes for this?! I really thought they had nailed down the formula of 2 years exclusive then put it on PC and spike the sales again... But what do I know maybe we should just shut down Nixxes like they did Bluepoint, seems like an on brand move these days...

I'm happy about it. Money is tight and with the current trends my PS5 Pro will get ports of PS6 games for years after release anyways. So what is there to be excited about with the new system anyways?

Diablo 2 has been a staple game for me since release. Played it for years and every couple years i jump back in for a few weeks and have a great time. I NEVER thought anything like this would happen.

Hopefully this live service gold rush will die down now. The vein has run dry people.

Safe predictions are god of war metroidvania and FF7 part 3.

Stop wasting time on multiplayer fortnite nonsense and let your first party studios do what they are good at. We would be right around the corner from Horizon 3 if they were not wasting so much time with crap like this. Naughty Dog, Bluepoint, Bend etc. Like the amount of time and money wasted trying to chase the live service dream has ruined this generation.

Wow, exactly what I wanted from Horizon. Fortnite crap... After all the cancellations from Sony first party, this generation has been so underwhelming. Truly the lost generation of Sony first party. If all this effort was put into Horizon 3, it would probably be right around the corner. I wouldn't expect it till next gen at this point.

I wish they understood that they don't even have to market this game. Don't give it to influencers or reviewers early. This may be the only game that the entire world could go in at the same time and get away with it. Like what marketing does this game need really?

They always say it will be better on the Pro... but the reality is most of the time its worse...

@themaladroit I also wonder if it will be a free upgrade. It's so nickle and dime BS when they don't do it. Like for Days Gone.

The 5v5 mode does make the game a bit more lively. But it also kind of ruins the entire structure of it. There isn't very much back and forth as far as the objectives go when there are more people. I think the bones of the game are actually quite good but they have to hone in on the structure of the matches.

Awesome casting so far. Glad they didn't listen to Peter Dinklage.

Its a fun game but its pretty bare bones at the moment. I played for about 4 hours and had a good time but I'm bored of the single 3v3 mode.

My love of Apex Legends obligates me to give this a try. Hopefully its good.

They also ruled out Reunion because of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion.

This game should have been cancelled. Nobody remembers Beyond Good And Evil and nobody cares. Its like making a sequel to a 90's movie nobody really gave a ***** about. Dude they are making Dunston Checks In 2?! Who cares...

I know I'm in the minority but I'm excited to try this game. Played Apex for 100's of hours so I'm for sure gonna give this a solid try. It may surprise us. Its not really comparable to Concord since there is no entry fee to try Highguard.

Looks like the original Prey 2.

Gotta say, I've seen cosplayers pull this off WAY better...

I was so tempted to buy Epic Mickey recently. Glad I held out.

As excited as I am for Persona 4 remake... whats up with Persona 6... Next year it will be 10 years since P5. Surely we can do better than a 10 year development cycle on mainline Persona games.

@RoomWithaMoose The answer is they are not regretting it. They chose this profession. Not only is the thinking at the level of a 5 year old you want to project the agency of a 5 year old on everyone else. Nobody is forcing you to work more than 40 hours a week. That Rockstar employee who is getting bonus checks is probably going to retire at age 50-55 if he is smart with his money. So who is wasting time now?

@RoomWithaMoose Utopian pipe dream nonsense. This is 5 year olds thinking. Wide eyed intellectuals who assume everyone's priority is working less. What I want is people to be compensated well for their OT. Game developers most CERTAINLY are with the bonuses they receive. Take Two gave Rockstar almost 400 million in bonuses for Red Dead 2. No doubt the developers of Sandfall are getting insane bonuses for Expedition 33s success as well. Ironically stories like this are never written about on these sites... You think a Rockstar emplyee is looking at a 6 figure bonus check and regretting all the OT he worked? You're dreaming pal.

@RoomWithaMoose See this is where you are just lying to yourself and unintentionally proved my point with the cookie comment. In our day to day lives we all have expectations such as fresh baked bread. But nobody ever advocates for the bakers or food service workers who work OT. If the power goes out linemen have to go fix the lines. Plumbers, electricians, truck drivers, police, firefighters, fast food workers, amazon workers etc. We all turn a blind eye to how much OT these people are working because we want the conveniences they provide. So spouting a platitude that only a 5 year old would think is reasonable like "OT shouldn't be expected of any labourer" is honestly insulting. Which is why normal everyday workers are sick and tired of these articles about the poor game developer and their horrible plight to work a couple extra hours. As far as I'm concerned these labourers have every right to expect game developers to work OT to get their games out just as we all demand the same from everyone else.
