@zebric21 I genuinely have no clue, I'm just talking about a post I saw a few days ago talking about how the leaks are affecting Take-Two and I do find it interesting.
While a game leaking doesn't affect me in my day-to-day life, the leaker is apparently making a ton of money off of some crypto coin and Take-Two's stocks are taking a huge dip with every leak that comes out, so there is a lot more to this than just having people see a game earlier then intended.
Man, it's been 4 years since Forbidden West released? Crazy how fast time has gone, and it may almost take double that to get a new mainline Horizon title.
Good ol Isaac, not being afraid of any release. The game and all of its DLC being super cheap on the Steam Summer Sale helped give it new life cause I noticed it's been having over 100k players since the sale.
After reading the bits in the article about the gameplay, it does feel like a game where if you've played any of Insomniac's Spidey outings, you know what to expect, which makes sense.
I bought the devout edition to play early and the game is fantastic. Big props to the devs for releasing the demo, it proved to me that they learned from the first game and set out to improve on it.
I remember the demo being a little rough in the performance department, I was curious if that was just the demo and hopefully they would polish it up a bit for the full game. Looks like they did according to the review.
Reading the previews, it feels like a pretty on-par Insomniac/Marvel game, but the story needs to deliver to really help the game knock it out of the park. I have a feeling it'll have the same issues with story like Spidey 2 but maybe I'll be proven wrong.
I mean, this is no different then having trophies that require finishing the game on the hardest difficulty, and those have been around since the dawn of achievements in games.
But, I do have to say, I love the die and retry of Soulsborne games. There's something about it that just itches a part of my brain that makes me want to keep trying until I succeed.
@Oram77 Knowing the modding community, I can guarantee there will be something related to that within 6 months after it releases lol.
Modders out here doing the lords work, from accessible emulation to modding VR into non-VR games and even fixing broken games, they do a lot for the love of the game.
it is cool to have it as an available option. More ways to play games, even on hardware that isn't exactly on the official list of supported devices, is always neat to see.
The game looks great, as per usual with Arc System's games, just a shame the PC version is completely broken, but I'm sure that will get ironed out in time.

Re: The Blood of Dawnwalker Won't Have 60FPS Mode on PS5 or Even PS5 Pro
@Fishysensei Lol true, and yet I loved every second of it while my PS4 sounded like it wanted to fly out of the window.
Re: The Blood of Dawnwalker Won't Have 60FPS Mode on PS5 or Even PS5 Pro

Play-Asia is a great site so big up to them for doubling down on physical.
Re: Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 (PS5) - MGS 4 Is Finally Free from PS3, and It's the Best It's Ever Been
MGS4, finally free from the ps3, ya gotta love seeing it. I haven't played mgs4 in over 15 years so I know what I'm doing once the collection is out.
Honestly it's been almost the same amount of time since I played Peace Walker too.
Re: Microsoft Stops Sharing Digital Sales Data with Circana
Like Sammy says in the article, Nintendo doesn't share any of the sales data either, so it's not a big deal.
I know some people will make this out as some big thing, but it really isn't lol.
Re: Wolverine's Incredible Suit Looks So Dang Goofy on PS5
The mask in the header image reminds me of those kid super hero costumes that are plastic, big eyeholes and the elastic on the back.
Re: 92% of PS5 Enthusiasts Believe PS Studios Needs New Management
I didn't think the current head brass could ruin things for Playstation in such a short period of time, but I guess life does toss out surprises.
If there is a shakeup, I'm curious to see what bullet points they would want to focus on moving forward.
Re: I Didn't Have a Golden Axe Cartoon on My 2026 Bingo Card
I'm surprised there wasn't a Golden Axe cartoon in the 90s, I feel like it would've been a perfect time to have one.
But hey, better late then never.
Re: This Is Your Best, Most In-Depth Look at Silent Hill: Townfall Yet
I'm glad Silent Hill is back and Townfall is looking to be another good one.
Re: Majority of Naughty Dog Was Working on The Last of Us Online Before It Was Cancelled
With a majority of ND's studio on the project, I have a feeling it would've been a good one. Shame it was cancelled.
Re: 'Tiny Team' Working on Next Horizon Single Player Game, Years Away from Release
Man, it's been 4 years since Forbidden West released? Crazy how fast time has gone, and it may almost take double that to get a new mainline Horizon title.
Re: Opinion: Hermen Hulst Has Failed and PS Studios Needs a Change
I agree, Hulst has to go. But will he? As Sammy points out in the article, Playstation is making tons of money and y'know the investors love that.
Re: The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ Online Is the Only Game Brave Enough to Launch the Same Day as GTA 6
Good ol Isaac, not being afraid of any release. The game and all of its DLC being super cheap on the Steam Summer Sale helped give it new life cause I noticed it's been having over 100k players since the sale.
Re: 6 Ways PS5's Tides of Annihilation Blew Me Away After 2 Hours of Play
The game looks really good and I'm curious when it'll be released.
Re: PlayStation Scaling Back Horizon Live Service PS5 Game as Sony Failures Continue
I didn't expect Hulst to drive Sony into the ground in such a short time span, but I guess he's doing a good job at it with their recent track record.
Re: After Online Storm, Here's the Truth About Wolverine PS5
After reading the bits in the article about the gameplay, it does feel like a game where if you've played any of Insomniac's Spidey outings, you know what to expect, which makes sense.
Re: GTA 6 Gameplay Leak Appears Online Ahead of Official Reveal
It looks like GTA lol.
Re: Mortal Shell 2 (PS5) - An Ingeniously Playful Take on the Dark Souls Formula
I bought the devout edition to play early and the game is fantastic. Big props to the devs for releasing the demo, it proved to me that they learned from the first game and set out to improve on it.
Re: Rumoured Phantom Blade Zero PS5 Demo Nowhere to Be Seen After State of Play Deep Dive
I decided not to watch the State of Play for the game cause I want to go in as blind as possible when it releases.
I do wish there was a demo but ah well.
Re: The Sinking City 2 (PS5) - An Admirable Resident Evil-Lite Experience
I remember the demo being a little rough in the performance department, I was curious if that was just the demo and hopefully they would polish it up a bit for the full game. Looks like they did according to the review.
I'll have to pick it up at some point.
Re: Sony's New 'It Happens on PS5' Ad Has Gone Down Exactly as You'd Expect
Some of the wittier comments are pretty funny though.
Re: No Sony Characters in Fortnite's Big Gaming Celebration Season
It is weird but I guess that's Sony's problem for not wanting to collab anymore.
Re: You'd Have to Be Heartless to Hate on This Extended Kingdom Hearts 4 Trailer
Looking forward to it. Glad Square finally has a timeframe for release.
Re: Matt Groening Himself Says The Simpsons: Hit & Run Is 'Coming Back in Some Form'
Either a remaster or through the re-release program that Xbox has going on.
It would be cool to see it make a return in some form though.
Re: 'It's a Relentless Onslaught': Wolverine PS5 Dev Responds to Unprecedented Criticism
Twitter has gone to absolute s%&@ since it became X so there really isn't any surprise there, but I did laugh at the Ben 10 comparison lol.
But for Insomniac, just let the game speak above all the talk when it releases, that's all you can do.
Re: Pixar's Coco Confirmed for Kingdom Hearts 4, Launching on PS5 in Late 2027
Coco is a great choice for a Disney world. Crazy that we finally have a release window for the game after how long.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Surpasses 5 Million Copies Sold as Fans Await What Comes Next
I know the game has its fans but I can't stand Frontiers lol, I personally think it's a terrible game.
I played it to about the third island and dropped it.
Re: Modest Sales Predicted for Sony's Critically Acclaimed New Fighter
It's a shame the pc version is broken cause that definitely hurts the sales on pc.
Re: Gritty Action RPGs Will Soon Have Big Budget Competition from One of the World's Most Popular Devs
When I saw the images and footage earlier, it really does feel like Dragons Dogma with a little Monster Hunter sprinkled in.
I'm very curious to see more in the future.
Re: Round Up: Marvel's Wolverine Sounds Like Another Great Superhero Blockbuster in PS5 Previews
Reading the previews, it feels like a pretty on-par Insomniac/Marvel game, but the story needs to deliver to really help the game knock it out of the park. I have a feeling it'll have the same issues with story like Spidey 2 but maybe I'll be proven wrong.
Re: This Ain't Yakuza! SEGA Showcases Stranger Than Heaven's Complex Combat with Live Gameplay Demo
I do really like how RGG evolved the combat into something unique, it helps the game stand out from the Yakuza series.
Re: Phantom Blade Zero PS5 Demo Leaks Before Next Week's State of Play
I'll definitely give the demo a shot.
We need more demos for games, the demo for Mortal Shell 2 sold me on the game.

I'll gladly get the complete edition. Kinda glad I waited on buying the game now lol.

The game looks really good, I'm excited to see more.

It would be really cool to see that one PS2/Gamecube era Lord of the Ring game that was like a re-skinned FFX get a remaster/re-release.
Re: Hyped PS5 Soulslike Mortal Shell 2 Has an Easy Difficulty Mode, But There's a Catch
I mean, this is no different then having trophies that require finishing the game on the hardest difficulty, and those have been around since the dawn of achievements in games.
But, I do have to say, I love the die and retry of Soulsborne games. There's something about it that just itches a part of my brain that makes me want to keep trying until I succeed.
Re: Dark Pictures Dev Forced into Layoffs to Ensure the Future of the Company
Now they're just Massive Games.
Feel bad for those that are laid off but some of the more recent games they've done have been pretty meh.
Re: GTA 6's $100 PS5 Ultimate Edition Is Getting More Pre-Orders Than the Cheaper Version
I'm just surprised so many are pre-ordering based solely off of trailers and screenshots without seeing a second of in-engine gameplay.
But I guess it is GTA and we know what to expect from the series' formula.

Re: Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls (PS5) - The Most Exciting Fighting Game in Years
The game looks great, as per usual with Arc System's games, just a shame the PC version is completely broken, but I'm sure that will get ironed out in time.
Re: Does Marvel Tokon's New Update Fix the Game on PC? Results Seem to Be Mixed
Sounds like it's a step in the right direction, just gotta let Arc Sys cook a bit more.
Re: GTA 6 Netflix Extended Look: When and How to Watch
I'll just watch it on Youtube, with my adblock on lol.
Re: Here's the Brutal Method of Getting a Metal Gear Solid 4 PS5 Platinum Trophy
No reason in changing the trophies for 4 and PW when they already had a good list from years ago. I know they're tough but I'm glad they're the same.
Re: Opinion: Ghost of Yotei Was a Weirdly Disappointing Sequel After Loving Tsushima
I like Atsu but I really liked Jin and his story in the first game more.
But Yotei definitely has a lot more gameplay improvements.
