What is the world coming to?

1 less sale from me Microsoft.

Yeah I also like the £45 price tag. Count me in!

I wasn’t really hyped until trailer 2, has made the delay a little harder to swallow!

2K president David Ismailer says there's a "large audience for compelling stories that don’t require massive time commitments"

Correct David. Looking forward to this.

Glad to also see this week the PS5 generation has begun!

Yep happy with this personally. Have been enjoying non open world games more recently.

@LogicStrikesAgain yeah agreed. Sony should snap them up. A few hundred million would look like a bargain vs bungie.

@Slideaway1983 cool thank you!

Will this remain playable once the servers are turned off or is it one of those that’ll become extinct offline?

I wonder if this is another 10% of the game on disc, 90% download like Indy was…

Frog type game? So they’re making frogger 2? 😂

Haha as usual some numpty rated it 1/10 🤦‍♂️

@BeenGamingSince_83 I hope it’s not serious.

GTA’s always been known for its humour. Hope it still has lots and doesn’t take itself seriously or I’ll have to report the devs to the FIB!

Yeah I’m definitely keen to gameplay seeing as GTA’s character controls have been janky since GTA3 now.

I hope they’ve improved in that regard.

@HonestHick yeah console gamers moving to PC is a bit of a scary thought I have to admit.

Ironically I think it’s mostly down to Sony and Microsoft causing that. Sony releasing first party on PC, MS going heavy with gamepass and basically leaving the hardware race. Then you have the increase in console hardware and software it’s understandable people are choosing PC instead.

@LiamCroft are we going to get a 385 day countdown? 😄

I think for me I’ve realised recently I’ve been enjoying more linear/condensed games like wukong, expedition 33 etc.

I know I’m only one person but open worlds have got a bit boring. The devs have such a bit area to fill content so of course there’s got to be copy/paste content to help fill it. That’s where I’m a bit fatigued.

The likes of horizon, spider man, ghost etc are all brilliant but it’s the open world they’re built in I’m a bit tired of.

I went for expedition 33 instead. Doubt I’ll double dip on this even if it’s been decades since I played it!

@HonestHick haha yeah I think you’ve nailed the top 10 for the next 10 years 🤣

Judging by GTA5 sales alone and if rockstar nail GTA online I have no doubt this’ll be top 10 in 2035.

If I could remember I’d tag you in this thread 10 years from now to see if we were right!

@TenakaF yeah thanks but I don’t know if you replied to the wrong person? I was talking about perfect dark.

Also not sure if your comment about “consoles stagnating or in decline” is massively accurate. Nintendo’s current console is the second best selling ever at over 150m units. The PS5 is tracking next to the PS4 at a much higher price and having launched with the covid supply shock. It’s only Xbox that’s doing badly in the hardware race.

Stunning is an understatement!

Looking forward to seeing the pro enhancements.

@HonestHick yeah the reality is we could easily still see this in the top 10 in 2035! Madness.

Wow I was ok with the delay last week but now I’m not after seeing that! 🤣

@Oram77 perfect dark is the game I’m most interested in from MS. As far as I’m aware there’s been no mention or rumours of it for PS5 yet but at the rate things are going it seems there’s a pretty strong chance of it happening I’d say!

Deserves to sell 10x that!

Can’t believe this came out in 2006, man I feel old 😬

I hope this goes on to sell 20m!

@SeanOhOgain exactly is this even sales driven data? They might not even claim it to be just assume people think it is as it’s set in a chart format.

It’s about time!

Day Uno!

Publisher supports company that are going to make them a fortune shocker!

Like everyone I’m not surprised and at least we have an actual date. Unless it’s delayed again…

@BrintaPap this is how I feel.

Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft are all making massive profits and it seems they are using the "tariff" excuse and rising development costs (that's been happening for decades and isn't new) to justify increasing prices again. They could easily help the consumer by not doing so. However I understand they are a business and greed is real in business.

For their sake I hope the increase in profit they get per sale negates the lower volume of sales. If not I'm sure the prices will come down. It feels like they're testing the water of what price people will accept.

I'm like you and gratfeully can afford it but I'm not paying for something that I feel is bad value.

Meanwhile Ubisoft look over enviously...

I never thought I’d say this but my favourite pastime - gaming - is just becoming too expensive for me to justify.

If we end up all digital then at that point I think I’ll bow out. At least at the moment I can recoup some value in reselling physical.

Let’s not forget Sony started this at the beginning of the generation with increases.

Looks like I’ll be buying fewer games moving forward…

My wallet will be taking a rest from PlayStation purchases for a while. Between my backlog and switch 2 think I’ve spent enough on gaming recently!

Never gelled with it for some reason so happy to let this one pass…

So glad I preordered which I barely ever do. Had a feeling about this one. Just need to get away from work to play the damn thing!

Any news if they’ll be bringing the standard forza motorsport to ps5?

Looks like I might have to returnal to it on ps5 pro.

@naruball yeah these statements are just copy/paste. Never anything original, meaningful or believable.

Not only is it superb, I got this for £40 preorder. I don’t remember when I got such good value from a game.

It’s making Nintendo and even Sony look bad in the value stakes.

Damn wasn’t paying attention and clicked this thinking it was wukong dlc 🤣🤦‍♂️

@AgentGuapo likewise. I’m also a Nintendo fan and absolutely won’t defend their pricing.

Sony are looking good value-wise in comparison.

I’d also argue many people have subscription fatigue.

Yeah when it happened I did feel a bit sorry for Clair Obscur seeing as that deserves all the success it gets.

Good to hear it’s doing well but probably got overshadowed a certain amount regardless.

@AhmadSumadi exactly, he’s so iconic he should be seen! I think the devs realised that hence why they at least show him in gameplay cinematics…

I played it just passed the Vatican level (no idea how far that is into the game) and don’t think I saw anything up to that point that couldn’t have been done in 3rd person.

Anyway I have to get back to a game that poops all over Indy in my opinion, CO: Expedition 33!

Expedition 33 all the way for me. Loving it!

@themightyant true I appreciated they at least gave 3rd person views for some cinematics and first person can be better for immersion.

Don’t get me wrong they did a great job overall, it’s a solid game. Just my preference would be different that’s all.

100k doesn’t sound massively impressive in all honesty.

The game’s decent but for a character like Indy I think I’d have preferred 3rd person.
