As Kojima would want

Feels like remakes and dlc really shouldn’t be nominated for main awards and should probably get their own categories. For all the complaints about Silent Hill 2 being snubbed it really is just a straight remake. The snubs for me would probably just be infinite wealth tbh.

@Burnish1619
Or maybe palworld just isn’t that good. I bounced off of it pretty fast but with what I’ve seen I couldn’t in good faith replace it in any spot on this list.

@JB_Whiting
While I enjoyed the movies for what they were I definitely agree with you. Sonic flossing to uptown funk in the second movie has gotta be one of the most confusing scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. Feels like it was created by an executive like 8 years ago.

Interesting that HiFi Rush is coming to ps4 when it skipped Xbox one. I don’t own a series console yet so it kinda annoyed me. I’ll be interested to see if it gets a port but I’m guessing probably not.

@HammerKirby3
I think that’s the vocal minority there for you. Most people I think either ignore the controversy or just realize you can respect the art and not the artist. I really wish people would be normal in the discourse surrounding Harry Potter because it’s not going away any time soon.

@Max_the_German
For me it depends on how it’s used. For small stuff like this it’s probably just saving artist time anyhow. We all champion trying to reduce dev burnout and I see this as a possible solution to do so.

Geez some people care way too much about this. The game isn’t even out yet it wasn’t censorship just a tweak in the art. And also if this is a huge problem that affects your enjoyment of the game just maybe you aren’t playing it for the right reasons anyhow.

@MFTWrecks
It’s possible this is a repeat of last year’s Batwoman fiasco where companies managed to save money and write it off as a tax expenditure of some sort to save money.

When Xbox live gold was still a thing we would have killed for a title as good as saints row 2023.

@Toilet_Goat
It’s an American thing. Over here below 68 I believe is a failing grade.

@Atreus97
In theory sure that should be fine but in practice it hasn’t worked yet. Just look at all of the server issues Diablo 4 had on launch with people losing hundreds of hours of progress due to no fault of their own. Not to mention that not everyone’s Wi-Fi is good and not everyone regularly has Wi-Fi. Online only for single player is pointless overall and does more harm than good.

Sony fanboys bashing Microsoft for this when PlayStation does this literally all the time. I’m not saying 3rd party exclusives are good for the industry but Sony has bought up exclusivity to FF7, FF16 and for quite awhile Persona 5 which are arguably much bigger games. I also think the game might do better on Xbox then you’d think I really am not sure there’s any evidence Xbox fans hate RPGs like this. Again I would much prefer this be a cross platform release but my point is Sony does this all the time.

@tallythwack
Okay then I’ll give it a shot. The previous commenter made it sound like much more.

@danzoEX
Haven’t tried it yet but this is really disappointing to me. When the devs said an M rating let them use the F bomb every once in awhile I assumed it’d be every once in awhile. Might be a bit much for me especially in a house with lots of younger kids.

I do think that while this direct is strong Xbox and PlayStation have opposite problems. Xbox talks big but has been failing to deliver pretty consistently across this generation. Remember we’ve known about many of the first party titles for many years so I wouldn’t be surprised if delays happen to some of them. Sony however is extremely tight lipped about what they have in the cards but regularly delivers much more than PlayStation

This actually doesn’t seem terrible speaking as someone who initially wrote it off. Although the gameplay trailer’s graphics looked sub par which may harm the experience. Might have trouble finding an audience since it’s exclusive to a platform and paid which is a bit of a live service killer imo.

@ILikeStake
In a game like Diablo that’s not really a good thing. The motivation of the grind is let’s keep going to get that cool shiny new piece of gear. Microtransactions where the coolest looking pieces are locked behind a paywall doesn’t sound like a great idea to me.

@Anti-Matter
Nah they were way too slow working on this. The Wii U hasn’t been a thing for years.

@Mad001
Rings of Power was vaguely entertaining. This seems like an all out mess of the game. And least Rings looked beautiful and had some semblance of plot. This just seems awful all around.

I thought it was really good but I’m probably in the minority. We got some fantastic looking indie and 3rd party games. In terms of first party output I’m fine with it slowing down a bit. Only glaring omission on that front was TLOU factions which should be getting close.

Looks right up my alley. Screenshots remind me of dead cells a bit and Ekko was a tad underdeveloped in Arcane. The hype is real.

@doctommaso
I agree. Not finished yet but my reason is mostly no fast travel. Backtracking is a pain because they don’t add much so I’m constantly playing through sections I’ve already completed. Annoying as heck.

@UltimateOtaku91
The difference is timespan and the fact that the devs worked on other series in between. We’ve had 3 horizon games with 2 expansions and apparently at least 2 more on the way. I cant speak for Ratchet and Clank I don’t know much about that but in between all of those uncharted games Naughty Dog made two of the most influential games of all time with The Last of Us. It’s clear Guerrilla has the talent I just wish they’d branch out more.

@RatmCky
Played it when it came out with the SNES mini a few years back. One of the best JRPGs of all time. Everything about it is peak Final Fantasy. If your at all a JRPG fan stick with it.

@SgtTruth
Ditto here. ABK will still make the same games as before acquisition and many will be cross platform. A dev that had their own IP and creative talent being fed to the live service machine is rather sad and sadly this is far from the first of these acquisitions.

@Darude84
We have it much better than Xbox people. Gwg is a travesty at this point.

@__jamiie
Doesn’t beat Kingdom Hearts 2.8 final chapter prologue.

@AgentMantis
It launched on gamepass although it has since left.

@Grimwood
I can see the appeal. Console and PC gaming has a high cost of entry and everyone has a smartphone nowadays. The quality of these games is actually half decent too. Sure you have the typical money grubbing stuff but we have that on console as well. Some people don’t want a 100 hour rpg epic they just wanna play angry birds.

Don’t love teleport controls but a game can still be enjoyable. Speaking of which I wonder if psvr2 will get virtual virtual reality. It only had teleport but is still one of my favorite vr games ever.

@Pat84
I’m assuming the later as RE4 had a quest 2 port.

Provided square keeps making games that use traditional turn based and ATB systems then I don’t care. This throws away a lot of what makes a final fantasy game for me but that doesn’t make it bad necessarily.

@tselliot
Idk about losing to Legacy. Haven’t played it yet but by all accounts isn’t it basically just a third person shooter with a Harry Potter skin over it. Not to say that’s a bad thing I just want more unique games to be considered contenders.

Glad to see this is going well. While the game looks interesting I’ve always loved the ATB system and hope Square finds other places to use it if not in final fantasy.

@Americansamurai1
I mean if gamestonk has more than one movie this is plausible lol.

Quest launch please.

@BeerIsAwesome
Noooo but there’s a pride flag in the background. This game is woke trash.

I just hope they use the eye tracking to make a genuinely good doctor who game (I refunded the first one on oculus quest) with the weeping angels. Don’t blink.

@DETfaninATL
Watch Arcane Castlevania and Edgerunners. Those are great and work regardless of enjoying the source.

@LivewireCLS
I loved it but it’s a common opinion that it doesn’t make much sense and doesn’t stay true to the source material. I’ve never read the silmarillion and overlooked some of the flaws and loved it but many didn’t.

@Deadlyblack
Yeah the minimum requirement is weird. Like around with Metroid dread when the min requirement was a year on the job and there were a bunch of people that did 11 months and then left (I don’t remember why exactly they left but still). Like these people put effort into this project for a long time credit them.

@Korgon
I’ve played games that try to be Spider Man in vr and it can definitely work. If you’re interested check out the fantastic Resist. Tons of fun.

Oh but FIFA and other games with gacha systems are just fine. If you pay real money for fake money and then gamble that it’s just fine for kids. Makes no sense at all.

@UltimateOtaku91 @UltimateOtaku91
Yeah Xbox sucking last gen is part of it for sure. All I’m saying is that both sides are at fault here.

@UltimateOtaku91
I cant really argue that but the only reason COD sells better on PlayStation is because they pay for exclusive content.

@TheCollector316
Sony does the same thing keeping many many third party games exclusive to PlayStation. I don’t think either side is right but Sony is just as bad as Microsoft.

I think most people here don’t play COD and they’re just being drama queens. Also Microsoft never said the deal couldn’t be renegotiated in 3 years. Sony would probably be even worse about this tbh.

@z0d15g0d
If you think that’s bad the first ones even worst. Replace the you killed my daddy with over an hour of cheesy romance. Plus there’s even less planes than in Maverick.

Geez guys they can make a new deal every few years. Besides whenever we get a new COD everyone complains about how it kinda sucks. The second there’s a chance you might not get it forever everyone freaks out. Chill.
