Game got Concorded.

Anyways, feel bad for the devs since all that work is for naught.

I was a big time physical buyer for many years but I switched to digital a few years ago. Physical games just take up so much shelf space and I got tired of dealing with retailers/shipping companies taking a week to get a game to me that's supposed to be "guaranteed" on release.

My internet speeds have gotten a lot faster over the years which helped with my decision to switch. I also play primarily on pc so there's sites that sell Steam games with discounts.

Bandai Namco publishes so many games it's really tough to guess who it could be from. Be really cool to be a From Soft game but ya never know.

I still need to try the demo on Steam but this game really does feel like something on the Dreamcast.

The fact that the game is running on an in-house engine gives me hope it'll be well optimized. A lot of UE5 games can look great but will have persistent stutter issues in it.

I think I commented on another Shift Up article, but they seen how to develop and publish a non-mobile game so the devs feel they can do it on their own and more power to them!

Studios are hiring all the time for projects to fill in any sort of vacancies that crop up.

With Barlog working on it, it makes me optimistic and curious.

I'm all for new content for the game. Might have to replay it again when the expansion does drop.

Being able to toggle it in any game once the option is added will really make the Pro stand out from the launch console.

I'm curious to see more details about this, like the reason why FromSoft were against it. To better understand the reasoning on their part.

The pic looks like a dad and his son doing a cosplay shoot in the woods.

Of course, it may look different in motion lol.

I was surprised by good the first game was when I played it. Really excited for the sequel.

After closing Bluepoint, I feel worried about Nixxes now. Sure they're also a support studio but they were bought by Sony to specialize at PC ports/optimization.

I just hope Ghost of Yotei has a PC port since Death Stranding 2 is out on PC next month (I know DS2 isn't a first-party game per say since Kojima owns the IP, but Playstation is still publishing it on PC).

I do feel like it's pretty mia since the support for it has been almost nonexistent for a while now.

Kinda crazy how much stuff the game has and how much polish it all has. Probably the most polished looking gacha game.

I do really like how the water looks on the statue and the art on the box is pretty good.

I'm really excited for the game, Capcom have been on a great streak with RE games.

Honestly the specs aren't that bad, and knowing Kojima and his team the game will be really well optimized.

They can take as much time as they need.

Also I'm glad the game did get pushed back cause it was releasing the same day as Crimson Desert and the pc port of Death Stranding 2.

The general layout they have for unlocking stuff and progressing sounds like a lot of racers during the ps2 era and I'm okay with that.

Yoko Taro and Evangelion just feel like a perfect fit, really curious to see what kind of story he cooks up.

I'm kinda surprised they'd do a Xenoverse 3 since the second game keeps getting new content. But I guess it will have a new story.

I think I'm getting pretty close to the end of Nioh 3 so I'll likely be finishing that up.

Hiring someone that's the head of AI as the CEO of the Xbox division isn't exactly giving me a ton of hope for their future.

I think egyptian mythology has a lot of potential for exploration. I remember really enjoying a lot of the egyptian themes that AC Origins did.

I just really wanted the Demon Souls remake on PC, and I feel the chances of that happening are almost zero now with Bluepoint gone.

Makes sense since Stellar Blade was their first big foray into console gaming, and Shift Up feels confident enough to be able to release the sequel on multiple platforms day one.

Hopefully this does result in us getting another entry in the series instead of the 50th collab lol.

Good lord that's insane numbers.

Totally agree with Sammy, Bluepoint's closure is a huge misstep and a big mismanagement problem with Sony. I have a feeling we're going to see a few more studios close before the halfway point of the year

Thankfully the emulation scene around Bloodborne has gotten to a pretty good point where it's like playing a remaster.

Nothing but a bunch of corporate speak in that.

Legit baffling decision by Sony.
Shame on Sony for having Bluepoint work on a live service game, cancel it, then leave them out to dry before closing their studio.

I watched a stream of the game a week or so ago and I was really surprised by it. I usually don't play gacha games, but this one definitely has my attention.

I know a few people that talk about how much they like playing games, but spend a lot of their free time watching YT shorts and doom scrolling without actually playing anything, so they're not entirely wrong on their analysis.

I just love how weird and wild things look from the gameplay we've seen.

Gotta run from the spoilers like Leon running from the giant Salazar statue in 4.

Gotta say, Santa Monica are really starting to cook with their projects.

I don't see consoles going the way of complete discless, but due to the lack of "stable internet" doesn't really matter when every game nowadays, physical or digital, still require a significant download just to play.

I still love physical but went digital only a few years ago due to how much room a game collection can really take up. I still have my games ranging from PS1/N64 up to PS5 lol.

I'll always have a soft spot for indie games and the more recognition they get, the better.

I get the whole licensing ordeal but Mai not being in Last Round is a shame.

But no cross play is going to hurt the game's online for sure.

Gotta give props to Guerilla, the engine has really good performance without having to sacrifice much in the quality department. I'm glad Kojima and his studio used it.

Gotta admit, I do really like the overall aesthetic of the box, it feels very Cyberpunk.

I could see a ps plus price increase first then down the line a console price increase.

I get both sides of the conversation.
I get where Sammy is coming from where it may stump some of the games that'll release that could use the better archetype the PS6 has. But I can also understand when people say that they feel the PS5 hasn't hit it's ceiling yet as a console, especially with the PS5 Pro not fully utilizing the PSSR.

It's a shame the ps5 and pc versions were scrapped, I like to think the game could've had a resurgence from it.

Personally I could care less if they're kept in or cut cause they're just short 20-25 second qte mini games, so they're not exactly the biggest deal in the entire game.

Honestly that's not bad. Last of Us 2 on PC is about 115gb lol.

I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's just that I have a hard time taking someone's opinion serious when they use ai generated images for a thumbnail.
