@Americansamurai1 "...top-down adventuring combine in a mix that may remind you of classic titles like Castlevania, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, or even Bloodborne."
Taken from the first paragraph on the Kickstarter page. The game combines elements from Zelda, Bloodborne and Castlevania, it was never meant to just be a Zelda-like.
I'm really enjoying my time with the game. Yes I'm someone that loves Souls and Souls-likes but I think Yacht Club did a fantastic job with implementing it into this game.
Talking about Expansions does take me back to the old pc days where Expansions were just that, expanding the game you currently have with a ton of new content.
The PS6 being under $1000 won't happen, I just don't see it anymore. People can try to jump through hoops on justifying why it won't, but I don't see it being under a grand.
Unless some big bubble pops and prices drop dramatically, but I don't see it happening.
I do have to agree with a few other comments, if a game sells really well and fast, the PR team is usually posting about it on their socials, but that isn't happening with Saros so the estimated sale numbers are likely correct.
Grounded 1 is a great game, just be warned if anyone wants to play online with friends that the online is pretty laggy for players that aren't the host, and the devs never fixed it for the second game either lol. But it is still a really fun game.
@SuperJag86 Yeah, it's a shame the Arkham games are kinda MIA at the time but at least the Lego Batman game still has the DNA in it. I definitely want to pick it up.
Lego Batman looks like a really good Legoficiation of the Arkham formula with a ton of lovely Batman references sprinkled through. Looks like a great game.
Forza isn't really my thing but it definitely just looks like "more Forza".
Granted I could see Sony pressuring Naughty Dog to get something out since it's been a number of years since they had an original release. This isn't a new thing with a publisher, but people blowing it up like Sony is going to close Naughty Dog is way too blown out of proportion.
But on the other hand, while Schreier is a reliable source, he needs to be careful what he says cause things can spiral like this.
I've been hopping between my 2nd playthrough of Elden Ring, Salt and Sanctuary and Darkest Dungeon so I'll probably continue that rotation until Mina is out next week.
I had my eye on the game ever since Digital Foundry did the DF Retro on Screamer. I tried the demo and while I really like the art direction, cyberpunk aesthetic and the music, I just can't get into the driving itself. I guess I just like racers like Wipeout and F-Zero that have just a little more, how do I say, arcade-y mechanics to them? Unless it's just me being a dumb-dumb with the game lol.
Glad to see the patches the devs have been putting out have helped improve the game. I have too much to play at the moment so I'll wait on buying it lol.
After hearing about how Break in is going to be the rebranded Fairgames, you know they're going to reveal it at the State of Play, and it'll likely have a deep dive trailer attached too that lasts way too long.
I'm not really sure Marathon has the legs to have the entirety of Bungie's staff on it so I have a feeling they're working on something new that's under wraps. Possibly a new Destiny or even a completely new IP. Guess we'll see what happens.
I like the dev'ss other games (Demon Turf and Demon Tide) and the demo made me want to pick it up, but with Mina out next week I may wait a bit before getting it.

Re: Crimson Desert DLC in Development, Second Content Roadmap Revealed
With how fast they're updating the game, the dlc will probably be half the base game's size.
Re: With PC Ports Scrapped, Sony Brings Back 'Only on PS5' Disclaimer
I'm gonna play devil's advocate and say if Ghost of Yotei all of a sudden gets a surprise PC port trailer, it would be the funniest thing ever.
Re: Sony's $350 Official PS5 Monitor Has a Very Cool Gimmick for Gamers
It's neat for a monitor but I'm just too used to my ultrawide for my PC. Would be cool if it was oled though.
Re: Bloober Team's Cronos: Lazarus Leaks Ahead of This Week's Showcases

Re: Mina the Hollower (PS5) - Masterpiece for Many, But Not for Me
@Americansamurai1 Nope, after a project is funded on Kickstarter, the initial campaign pitch can't be edited, this is from Kickstarter's own FAQ page.

Re: Fable PS5 Delayed, Moved Away from GTA 6 for the 'Dedicated Moment It Deserves'
Let 'em cook on it some more, it'll make the game better. Still looking forward to it.
But man, I know GTA6 is a highly anticipated release, but it'll be nice when it releases so other games won't be delayed because of it.
Re: Poll: Will Next Week's PS5 State of Play Be the Most Viewed Ever?
It'll be tough to one up the last State of Play though.

Re: Rumour: Persona 6 Protagonist Leaks Catch Fans Off Guard, Reveal Whispers Intensify
If these pics are real, I do like the female protagonist's design more then the male.
He looks like someone that reminds the teacher that homework is due lol.
Re: The Witcher 3's New Songs of the Past Expansion Could Be as Big as Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
Talking about Expansions does take me back to the old pc days where Expansions were just that, expanding the game you currently have with a ton of new content.
I'm excited though!

Re: We Still Don't Know Sales Figures, But Saros PS5 Player Stats Reveal Some Big Numbers
I do have to agree with a few other comments, if a game sells really well and fast, the PR team is usually posting about it on their socials, but that isn't happening with Saros so the estimated sale numbers are likely correct.

Capcom are on a roll.

I saw a bit of a stream of the game and it looks great. May sure is stacked for games.
Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra Games for June 2026 Announced
Grounded 1 is a great game, just be warned if anyone wants to play online with friends that the online is pretty laggy for players that aren't the host, and the devs never fixed it for the second game either lol. But it is still a really fun game.
Re: LEGO Batman Glides Ahead of Forza Horizon 6, Yoshi for UK Number One Debut

Re: LittleBigPlanet Dev's Next PS5 Game Could Have Open World Aspects
Here's to hoping their next game can be a hit, I'd hate to see MM close.
Re: 'Take My Goddamn Money': PS5 Fans Seem Ready for Electrifying inFAMOUS Collection
I always said we need more of the games only on PS3 brought to modern platforms. They don't need anything crazy added to them, just be playable lol.
Re: Tekken 8 Grabs One of the Craziest Guest Characters Yet
Baki is a complete left field inclusion lol. I'm genuinely curious to see how he translates to the more realistic 3D art style of Tekken.

Unreal Engine 6: now with even more stutters!

Jason being in DbD is pretty fitting. Honestly glad he's there after his own game went kaput a few years ago.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 634

Re: While You Wait for Forza Horizon 6, Try One of PS5's Most Unique Racing Games with Free Playable Demo
I had my eye on the game ever since Digital Foundry did the DF Retro on Screamer.

Re: Bungie Is Not Making Destiny 3, Dev to Be Rocked by 'Significant' Layoffs
Feel bad for the devs laid off but tossing the rest of the staff to try and salvage Marathon is a waste in my eyes.
Crazy how Bungie used to be a top tier dev in the gaming space years ago.
Re: Amid Xbox Exclusives Uncertainty, RPG Fable Recommits to PS5
I'm looking forward to the new Fable, I really enjoyed Fable 1 and 2 way back in the day.
Re: Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40K Is a Match Made in Heaven
"And now it’s broken the emergency glass on an upcoming Legendary Warbond"
Honestly with the timing, this seems pretty accurate lol.
The crossover is really cool but it's not enough to bring me back to the game personally.
Re: Talking Point: Sony, Don't Re-Reveal Fairgames at the Next State of Play
After hearing about how Break in is going to be the rebranded Fairgames, you know they're going to reveal it at the State of Play, and it'll likely have a deep dive trailer attached too that lasts way too long.
Re: Destiny 2 Support Ending After 9 Years, Sony Dev Bungie to Focus on a 'New Beginning'
I'm not really sure Marathon has the legs to have the entirety of Bungie's staff on it so I have a feeling they're working on something new that's under wraps. Possibly a new Destiny or even a completely new IP. Guess we'll see what happens.
Re: Bubsy 4D (PS5) - The Best of a Bad Bunch

The game looks really promising, props to RGG.

I wonder if it'll be a type of extraction shooter based on the name, but that's just pure speculation on my part.
Re: PS Plus Price Increases Also Hit Extra, Premium Tiers - Here Are All the New Prices
Not really sure how anyone can defend a price increase on a digital subscription.
Re: Hellraiser PS5's Latest Trailer Is Too Gruesome for Sony's YouTube Channel
The game gives me Doom 3 vibes and I feel that's fitting for a Hellraiser game.
I'm looking forward to it.
Re: Lord of the Rings RPG from Kingdom Come: Deliverance Dev Confirmed
I still need to play KCD2 but I have no doubt the devs are a really good fit for a Lord of the Rings game.
