I could see the resources being devoted to Kiwami being used for something else like spinoffs i.e. Judgement and Lost Judgement.
Thing is, if they're going to use the story changes from Kiwami 3 + Dark Ties and branch off to a completely different story which differentiates itself from 4 onward, then that's a weird decision.
I don't mind the art direction they're going for it, sure it's a contrast to the regular Horizon games, but I don't think it looks terrible or anything.
The main thing we'll have to see is how the game will play and if it's fun or not.
I could definitely see the Death Stranding 2 PC trailer showing up, and I'm really hoping it does cause I'm waiting (im)patiently for it to come to Steam so I can play it.
For a more "out there" prediction, I wonder if we'll get a possible glimpse at the new Witcher 3 DLC during the State of Play.
Makes sense since they're putting a lot of resources into Hunters. Not a lot of dev teams can be like From Soft where they have a few different games being worked on at the same time.
Kinda funny how we had almost complete radio silence from Team Cherry for years while they were developing Silksong. Now that the game is finished we're getting updates and native ports for the first game along with the DLC.
But hey, I'm not complaining, they updated HK on PC to have native ultrawide so I'm happy about that.
I think the art direction they're going for looks fine, they likely went with this to help ease performance woes, especially a game that's multiplayer.
Personally I don't see the game catching up to Marvel Rivals but I feel Blizz is steering the game towards a better direction, and I've heard people say the game has been getting better over the last year or so.
I've always had a soft spot for Overwatch, even prior to it's initial release 10 years ago, due to Blizz's art direction. Hopefully the game gets better.
I do wish they waited and released Grounded 2 as a full game instead of early access. I played G1 a ton and with how much content it has, G2 could've been in the stove until it was fully completed.

Re: Rumour: 'Most' of Highguard's Dev Team Laid Off Just Two Weeks After Live Service Shooter's Launch
Regardless of what people may think of a game upon release, it's always a shame to see the devs laid off after a game is released.
Hopefully everyone can find employment quick.

Re: Retro-Style Starship Troopers FPS Brings Single Player Helldivers 2 Energy Next Month on PS5

Guess they made enough money from streamers buying it for content to make a sequel.
Re: PSA: This Is Your Last Chance to Grab Yakuza 3 Remastered Before Its Ridiculous Removal
It is a ridiculous removal, no reason for the original to be delisted when it's so different from Kiwami 3.
Re: No More Yakuza Kiwami Games After Kiwami 3 Story Changes, New Series Could Happen
I could see the resources being devoted to Kiwami being used for something else like spinoffs i.e. Judgement and Lost Judgement.
Thing is, if they're going to use the story changes from Kiwami 3 + Dark Ties and branch off to a completely different story which differentiates itself from 4 onward, then that's a weird decision.
Guess we'll see what RGG has planned.
Re: The Best Soulslike Around, Lies of P Is a Big Sales Success

Re: The Internet Has Not Been Kind to Horizon Hunters Gathering
I don't mind the art direction they're going for it, sure it's a contrast to the regular Horizon games, but I don't think it looks terrible or anything.

Re: 20 PS5 Predictions for State of Play February 2026
I could definitely see the Death Stranding 2 PC trailer showing up, and I'm really hoping it does cause I'm waiting (im)patiently for it to come to Steam so I can play it.
For a more "out there" prediction, I wonder if we'll get a possible glimpse at the new Witcher 3 DLC during the State of Play.
Re: Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties (PS5) - Colossal, Confident Remake Makes Controversial Changes
Bad Boy Dragon is a pretty good side activity name lol.
But it's cool that you can play Dark Ties without having to beat the main game, I would likely play it first when I do get my hands on the game.

Re: Horizon Hunters Gathering Is Guerrilla's Next Big PS5 Game, Horizon 3 Still Years Away
Makes sense since they're putting a lot of resources into Hunters. Not a lot of dev teams can be like From Soft where they have a few different games being worked on at the same time.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 619
Plan on continuing Nioh 3 this weekend.

Re: Overwatch Ditches the 2, Launches 5 New Heroes in Blizzard's Bid to Revive the Shooter
Personally I don't see the game catching up to Marvel Rivals but I feel Blizz is steering the game towards a better direction, and I've heard people say the game has been getting better over the last year or so.

Re: Xbox's Obsidian Seemingly Kills The Outer Worlds, Third Game Not Planned
