@IOI Metroid Prime 4 alone made that Direct a 10/10. I thought the game was at least a few years away. Caught me completely off guard when it was shown at the end.
Tears of the Kingdom - Side Quest/Adventure cleanup. Probably find some Lightroots and load up on Zonaite in the Depths.
Baldur’s Gate 3 - Started playing last weekend and still getting used to the mechanics. Had to take it down to Explorer difficulty since the battles were pretty rough to start. Really enjoying just exploring around since there’s so much to see/do in this game.
Was definitely a surprise/shock to see that this was coming out on the Switch. Makes a lot of sense though. Lego games are vey popular and plenty of people play them on Switch. Smart business move by Sony that’ll probably make them a good amount of revenue.
Perhaps we’ll see Aloy in the next Smash Bros. game?
@trev666 Could even release them on the Switch too. Between the PC, NS, PS5, and XSX it would be a pretty good flow of revenue for Bethesda while working on Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5.
Maybe just maybe this rise in Fallout’s popularity from the show will get Bethesda to release remasters of 3 and New Vegas for the current lineup of systems.
Welp looks like I’ll have plenty of time to clear out a good chunk of my PS5 backlog. Still a while away, but hopefully when it comes out the game isn’t loaded with bugs for a smooth launch.
@Ludacritz Would probably sell well with the popularity of the show. Will be a while before Fallout 5 sees the light of day. Could even put them on Switch. Seems like a no brainer, but who knows if common sense will prevail at Bethesda.
Tears of the Kingdom - Finishing up the final temple then some shrine hunting.
Final Fantasy XVI - On the homestretch of the main story. Looking to get the last side quests and some trophies connected to them knocked out this weekend.
Have had a PS5 for 2 years now & pretty happy with it. Doubt I’ll get a Pro unless my PS5 breaks. Other factor for me not wanting one is that the Switch successor will be out soon. Would rather spend for that instead of a PS5 Pro especially if my PS5 is still working.
Final Fantasy XVI - Started playing a few days ago. Made it past the prologue section. Really enjoying the battle system & seeing the story play out now.
Tears of the Kingdom - Trying to stick with the story, but easily distracted when a side quest or shrine comes up. Hopefully can get the second temple completed this weekend.
Blast Corps - First game I ever rage quit. Giving it another go 27 years later now that it’s on NSO.
Syphon Filter - Finally used to the controls on this one. About halfway through. Hoping to finish it up this weekend. Never played it on PS1. Pretty fun game.
Tears of the Kingdom - Continuing to explore around Hyrule completing shrines and side quests. Maybe finish one of the main quests too.
Tekken 8 and FF7R are the two that I most want to play. Other than those not much else really stands out for me as a must play. Good year to get through my backlog and finally get to Baldur’s Gate 3.

Final Fantasy XVI - Got the platinum trophy yesterday. Starting the Echoes of the Fallen DLC this weekend.
Cat Quest - Downloaded this recently on PS Plus. Have only played for about an hour. Pretty fun game so far.
Tears of the Kingdom - About 25 shrines left to find mostly in the Sky. Seeing what random Side Quets/Adventures I may stumble upon in Hyrule too.

Re: 13 New Games Joining PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Cat Quest 1 & 2 have my attention. Look like a couple of quick fun games to play.

FFXVI - Continuing my 2nd play through in FF Mode. About halfway through it.
Blast Corps - Recently purchased an N64 controller for the Switch. Time to finish what I rage quit back in ‘97.
Tears of the Kingdom - Shrine and Lightroot hunting around Hyrule.
Re: The Elder Scrolls, Fallout Dev Wants to Shorten Time Between Games
@NoCode23 Would we have Metroid Prime 4 by then though or still waiting?

Re: Fallout TV Show Marks Huge Success with 65 Million Viewers
Absolutely loved the show. Burned through it in a few days. Very much looking forward to Season 2.
Re: Fallout Games Attract 5 Million Users in One Day Due to Popularity Surge
@Victor_Meldrew Will probably see Metroid Prime 4 before the next Fallout game.

@IntrepidWombat The rewind ability has been a lifesaver to get through some parts.

Re: Poll: How Do You Feel About All of the Xbox Multiplatform Rumours?
I’d be interested in playing the Gears of War and Forza games.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Long Trophy List Revealed, 61 to Unlock
@Torque That was the trophy that netted me the Platinum. Had to step away a few times so my Dual Sense didn’t end up getting tossed out of a window.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Tekken 8?
Probably won’t get this until later in the year, but very much been looking forward to it.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 512
Diving back into Hyrule with Tears of the Kingdom and hopefully getting the Platinum for Klonoa 1 & 2.
Re: Rapid Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Fast Travel Wows PS5 Fans
Was planning on getting through a game or two in my backlog before playing this, but now seriously rethinking that.
Re: Here's Why Sony Is Making Big Moves in the Mobile Games Sector
I need to create a mobile free to play game loaded with in-game purchases. Will be able to buy a few islands to live on within a month.
Re: Poll: Which PS5 Games are You Buying in Early 2024's Ridiculous Release Schedule?
Already have FF7 Rebirth preordered. Will likely get Tekken 8 at some point in 2024 once my backlog is cleared out more.
