I am beyond excited. I was one of the doubters as to whether or not Resi 4 needed an update but they’ve completely sold me. I am hoping the camp, chaotic energy of the original remains somewhat intact. The trailers and footage seem to indicate a generally more serious tone.
It looks very good, at least as for a first look. I’ll observe with cautious optimism, but Silent Hill 2 is something special. Like lightning in a bottle and not something easily recreated. At any rate, it does my heart good to see horror headlining the triple A industry again. Dead Space, Resident Evil and now Silent Hill are all back!
Michel Ancel was horrible to work for by all accounts so I can’t imagine anyone chomping at the bit to finish his opus. With him gone, the project is just an aimless, expensive time sink.
CoD is massively important. Always has been. Like it or lump it, it makes billions. Microsoft having exclusive access to it would be devastating for Sony.
Probably doesn’t help that you can get the PS4 version for a fraction of the price. As a few people have pointed out, including a PS5 upgrade of Part II would have really made it a stronger value proposition.
What I’ve heard about Bloober Team’s past work makes me nervous. Konami’s last attempt at re-releasing Silent Hill 2 makes me nervouser. But let’s wait and see.
@Johnnycide I’m interested to see rapidly evolving tech can upgrade what was a graphical benchmark for consoles less than a decade ago, but I can watch footage for that.
These games are such guilty pleasures for me. Little janky, little meh in the open world department but their stories were pretty great. 3’s implementation of systemic 60s racism into its gameplay was an interesting display of games as social commentary, even if it didn’t amount to too much.
I'm probably gonna go with an Xbox Series S when the time comes. It'll be a shame to miss out on some exclusives (Final Fantasy being the big one) but the games that are really nudging me to go next gen (Dead Space, Resi 4, Street Fighter) are for the most part third party offerings. As a young adult, this is the first time I need to seriously budget gaming in with other expenses and the PS5 is just way too much. Luckily, God of War is still coming to the 4. I won’t be personally offended by Sony trying to do what they deem is good business. I’m just going to take my business elsewhere.

Re: PlayStation Acquires Savage Game Studios, Focusing on Mobile Games
I could see something like Parappa the Rapper working quite well on mobile.

I haven’t been so excited for a Capcom fighter in ages! Everything about this game so far just oozes confidence.
