I don’t understand personally how the narrative around Sonic Frontiers seemed to have shifted to being excited. I don’t want to say anyone is wrong for being excited, people can feel whatever they wasn’t about a product, but nothing shown after the initial gameplay reveal looks dramatically different. All this showed was the same combat and mobility, and now even more green hill zone for the 80th time. I don’t want the most exciting parts of the game to just be traditionally linear boost levels, because at that point what’s the point of going “open zone” in the first place if it doesn’t add a lot good.

There’s a lot of debate over like it’s visual quality and stuff like that, but the thing I’m most worried about is its identity. This game looks so generic from an outside perspective. I remember spending almost all the trailer when it was announced thinking it was a new NieR game. I just see nothing on display that would convince me to buy it over other ARPGs like FF16, Lost Soul Aside, etc.

Man if The Snitch keeps on getting things right than gaming news is gonna become so boring. Everything leaking beforehand is boring.

This is like the first PushSquare list in ages that Ghost of Tsushima DC hasn’t been on top

Who’s saying it can’t simultaneously be both?

Solid cast, but it’s really weird that the voice actor for Sophia is also the voice actor of Ringo, especially since those games are relatively close together and Ringo seems to be another female digital being like Sophia was.

Vampire Survivor with official rollback Netcode is incredibly hype. Since I’m a stick player I’m gonna get it on PS4 .

@PoopScoop It’s an FF7 game. It’s only fitting if they release it as a Cloud version.

This genuinely looks on the level of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. If Square considers this a remaster and prices it at like $40, then I have no doubt this would be one of the best remakes in recent history in terms of just pure accessibility and revitalization that isn’t an FF7/RE2 style remake.

I genuinely don’t know why Microsoft would spend extra money just to mild inconvenience consumers. They aren’t even paying for exclusivity they’re just, withholding information for a mere 48 hours. It’s weird.

On god every second the Nvidia leak is looking more and more real. Hopefully that means a PS4/PC port of SMT V is looking more in the cards.

Man I would really just like to forget about this game and just think about it after reviews come out. Everything I’ve seen about the game looks awful, but people are really loving it. Even the small positive details that they are allowed to say because of Sega’s NDA makes me less hype (Like if Unleashed/Generation style stages are the highlight, then what’s the point of it open zone). They’re doing an awful job at communicating it, so I’m just gonna wait til people can be objective with it.

In the past 2 years we got: A sequel to a PS4 game on Switch, PS, and Steam. A PS2 remaster on Switch, PS, and Steam. A switch exclusive. A sequel on PS, Xbox, and Steam. A port of a PS4 game to Switch. And ports of PSP, PSvita/Steam, and PS4 games to Xbox, them only being announced for PS5 and Steam like 17 hours later.

Atlus is so funny.

This is the funniest way Atlus has pulled an Atlus so far lmao

Annapurna are really great publishers from what I know of. Them and Devolved are doing wonders for the industry, uplifting indie games that truly deserve it in a space so filled with AAA publishers corruption

The game literally comes out tomorrow why did they have a trailer for it at SGF

Every single good announcement had a caveat

Callisto and SF6 were showed off a week ago
Neon White and Shredder’s Revenge are dropping the same day
Troy/Ashley being lead roles in the LoU show isn’t game related
Last of Us Part I was leaked

It was bad

Releases like these should genuinely be illegal. I’ve never seen such a misleading and unfinished releases since Cyberpunk 2077, but even they have the decency to fix the issues plaguing the original release. It’s wild how little regulation there is for these gigantic publishers.

I don’t want to be one of those guys who pits games against each other—especially Elden Ring vs Horizon cuz that was extremely annoying and toxic—but it’s so weird that people keep on saying the industry forgot about Horizon, when it definitely has legs (especially for being PlayStation exclusive and not multiplat)

Blame Nickelodeon for not giving the team resources or approval for VA until the game came out and was a success.

I don’t mean to be one of those guys who say this every single remake/remaster comparison, but the original unironically looks more appealing to me

Genuinely what is the point of this? I doubt the money got from PlayStation to make like 1 skin or weapon exclusive was enough to substantially help the game. I can see arguments to make a game exclusive, even timed. However, all this does is makes the other experience objectively lesser with (I assume) very mild benefits.

This State of Play was on the level of some companies’ E3 presentations, if not better. Really knocked it out of the park. I could care less there was no God of War when we get SF6, FFXVI, Stray, Callisto Protocol, and Motordrome

The “I AIN’T NEVER BACKING DOWN” has been permanently instilled into my brain and I couldn’t be happier.

I wonder how many abuse allegations they’ll announce during that

Nickelodeon All Star Brawl is goated, you guys are just mean

PlayStation currently only has a couple of games confirmed for the pipeline. Them being at SGF is super exciting cuz we’re either getting an announcement, or info on Call of the Wild, Ragnarok, Spider-Man or Wolverine (tho those last 2 are very unlikely). Besides that, it’s a similar situation with Capcom where most potential announcements from them will likely be first looks, and I’m really hoping for a Persona 25th anniversary announcement from Atlus

Way more impressed than I thought I was gonna be. It seems like combat is more in depth than just the homing attack, it looks to be a good combination of the boost and adventure styles, and there is an amazing sense of kinetic energy.

I am excited for this respectful and civil discussion that will spawn from this

Wasn’t Disgaea 6 kinda bad? If you guys want a JRPG, just wait for Digimon Survive or Soul Hackers 2 if you can wait til August.

@IonMagi I wouldn’t say that. The last one said it would focus on 3rd party Japanese games, and that same SoP announced the Returnal 2.0 update. Keep your expectations low, but I wouldn’t say that’s a given.

I think the ideal candidate is ArcSystemWorks. They’re not a huge publisher that would extremely centralize the market, but they are the top of the class at what they do. They fill Sony’s weaknesses of limited Japanese and multiplayer reach, and most of their games are predominantly PlayStation and PC already so Switch and Xbox players won’t lose out on that much. Perfect fit imo.

Man what happened… I’m one of those weird Platinum fans who don’t like Bayonetta, so the only big action game they have for this year is a live service game with 1 player

@MFTWrecks I mean beyond that there’s a lot of things i want to know. What movement options are there? Is it more floaty or heavy? How many buttons are there? I’m gonna check it out regardless but I wish there was more out there.

Of everything I’ve seen, I haven’t seen barely anything discussed about Multiversus’ mechanics. Compared to Nickelodeon which was the reason I play it, I’m completely in the dark about this games mechanics. If anyone who has the alpha could talk about the controls, game feel, mechanics, etc that’d be great

I don’t have as much of a hatred for this game as much as others. I’ll probably buy it for like $30-40 like 1 or 2 years down the line. However, the thing most interesting is how this seems to essentially be a side project that started around the time LoU 2 wrapped up. If Naughty Dog starts regularly releasing smaller projects with a big project somewhere in the mix, then they might be one of the more efficient Sony first party devs in the PS5 gen (but Insomniac is still probably gonna hold that title of course)

Love how every time there’s a new Activision Blizzard controversy their response is to just give another free period of potentially the worst CoD.

I can’t justify $40 for 4 Genesis games, but Sega is realllly making me want to

I unironically might buy more PS1 games on my Vita knowing it’ll be available on my PS4 through this crossbuy thing, like Jumping Flash or Syphon Filter

As of now, the best value seems to be the 2nd tier. The PS4+5 lineup is honestly pretty great as of now. I know the PS classics are just a slice, but so far I ain’t impressed.

Unrelated but does anyone else see amogus in the image

I can’t, not again.

I’m not strong enough.

@Jackpaza0508 There’s evidence to suggest that Garfield and Shredder already had work done on them before launch. They just had to be cut due to time constraints most likely, and because of this they made them free. These are actual post launch developed fighters so I think it’s fair that they’re paid.

I will say tho, this is probably my favorite version of the octopath/hd-2D artstyle. Octopath and TS just look extremely washed out and unexpressive most of the time. Not extremely huge on the artstyle fundamentally, but this is definitely the most pleasing one to look at out of them.

One thing I am pleasantly surprised by is Kena being in a top 15/20. It’s so nice seeing an indie game have legs like these. It was my 2nd favorite game last year and deserves everything.

Unrelated, but do we know if this game has local co-op? Or is it just online?

You know, I shouldn’t be asking for special edition console bundles for games like God of War Ragnarok or Final Fantasy 16 where the consoles have a unique look to them when considering the stock and scalper issues… but I want to.

Broke: Sony acquiring Square
Woke: Sony acquiring Yoshi-P

Feb 2023 seems like the spot for me. People are forgetting that another Square PS5 exclusive is coming out in the holiday season—Forspoken—and I doubt Square wants to cannibalize sales. That’s being said, I am immensely hyped for this and if both Forspoken and FF16 are home runs then I genuinely will try to buy a PS5 way earlier than I anticipated.

If PSVR2 launches without RE Village support at launch we can launch a class action lawsuit against Sony and/or Capcom
