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.

@RoomWithaMoose Maybe you should advocate for the people making the cookies then. But that has literally NEVER happened...

@HRdepartment I used to be a chef and am currently a welder. There is always overtime (crunch) on projects or events. I'm honestly getting sick and tired of reading the "plight" of the game developers crunch. having been through the kind of OT that people in trades and the food service industry were in its hard to find sympathy for people who need to work a couple extra hours in a climate controlled office in there pyjamas...

I finally played Dead Island 2 a few months ago and I gotta admit, it was a good time.

I'm actually surprised they haven't announced a new character yet. They had plenty of opportunity like the state of play and the game awards.

I'm glad they spiced her up a bit. Not sure why she isn't allowed to look sexy...

MK1 fumbled with the assist system. It just didn't feel right to me and not what MK has ever been.

I've never been a fan of this huge corporate consolidation. But literally ANYONE can manage those Warner developers better at this point...

Seems like a dropped ball that Arrowhead didn't hire Casper Van Dien after Helldivers 2 became successful. Have him do those propaganda videos as General Brash or something.

But isn't it going to be on vol. 2 of the collection? right...?

Its always amazing when a totally mediocre show that everyone agreed was pretty meh gets renewed for another season... But then I think about Rings Of Power and realize sometimes garbage TV shows just keep going regardless of viewership or reception...

surprised people think Last Of Us season 2 was the best adaptation...

For anyone who finished Lies Of P. That sequel is going to be something...

I've always thought when I played Horizon, you know what this game is missing? Daily quests...

My finger is literally on the install button if they would put out a PS5 upgrade for this game. Rockstar is so lazy with their old games its frustrating.

I saw it tonight and the theatre was packed. The other theatres showing it were also packed. I think people are just tired of Hollywood garbage.

brack friday bunduru?

@Kang81 I was there day 1 for all their games. Nobody did real time tactics like these guys. Sad they couldn't make it work.
