Getting VERY tired with the amount of generic soulslikes being forced out into the wild these days, unless you have something truly special to offer like Lies of P did, I’d much rather developers make something unique and valuable instead of chasing trends to release games that are given praise for being “serviceable”, I’m sure that’s why they decided to make games years ago.

It’s okay to chase trends if you innovate on said trends, if you’re just going to produce something by the numbers, don’t expect most people to dish out their wallets as a response.

@nessisonett

How when Jason said it ain’t sci-fi?

Lots of these people moaning about the game being similar to Tsushima must surely not play any sequels given how much they hate games being similar with incremental improvements over the former games?

I think Yotei looks good, not a GOTY winner most likely but an incredible open world experience to relax to, loads of nice improvements over the first game and even with YouTube compression it looks gorgeous on base PS5, will look incredible on Pro, can’t wait for October to come round!

@Frmknst I paid full price for the digital deluxe edition for a few reasons:

• I wanted to fully support KojiPro and they’re one of the few devs who deliver (pun intended) fully polished AAA quality titles.
• I wanted to avoid spoilers and seeing as DS1 is my favourite game of all time I was willing to pay the extra £10 for those extra days to play my most anticipated title in years.
• DS2 is a game I won’t ever want to resale as even once I’m done with the platinum it’s a game I’ll come back to on and off like I do with DS1 as no other games offer what these two do, plus I’m over 52 hours in and still ONLY on Episode 6 of 14 I believe so this has been immense value so far.

I go physical where I can, but for games I know I won’t ever sell, unless there’s an insane physical deal, I’ll go for a digital copy for ease of access.

Damnnnn if true seems this boring old Walking Sim is doing quite well hmm? 😏

Good for him, Season 2 was garbage thanks to Mazin and his “creative genius”, Gross and Druckmann were seemingly the driving force between the few redeeming qualities of that season.

This also confirms that I don’t have to watch S3 now as I’m now more than confident there will be nothing of value aside from Kaitlyn’s performance.

Perfect Dark has also been cancelled per Jez Corden.

An utter disgrace from Xbox/Microsoft.

Hopefully the earliest is 2028 otherwise this will be the weakest Sony generation by far.

Let’s give it a good run of years to extract the power from this machine and deliver the games people expected when they bought the damn thing day one I say!

Hopefully it’s not Until Dawn, very unpopular opinion but it’s by far for me the most overrated Sony IP from that PS4 era, great visuals for the time but that’s about it for me, I find myself going back to games like The Wolf Among Us far more regularly within that genre compared to Until Dawn, and Supermassive haven’t released anything that good since then either.

This is a nothing burger, of course sales will be down as:

• most UK games are sold digital these days
• most avid fans like me bought the DIGITAL deluxe edition
• people who played the first one as it was a new thing at launch then found out they didn’t like it, of course aren’t going to be the first ones at the door for the sequel

26 hours in, not one issue on my Pro, runs and looks like a dream, no loud fans either

@carlos82 I left some climbing anchors around the place to help people with that, definitely makes it a lot easier 😅

16 hours in and this is such a beautiful game, feels like an improvement over the first in every way, am still on Episode 3 as have just been getting max connection with everyone 😭

@Perturbator Strand type games obviously 👀

@UltimateOtaku91 it’s Dynamo Pictures which Nintendo acquired in 2022, they’re probably using them for CG cutscenes as they worked on Metroid other M and Pikmin for Nintendo in the past.

@Athrum followed by a cheerful frolic along the beach, one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen, can’t believe how it made it past the initial draft.

Shows how good a game can look artistically when you don’t need to brute force “ray tracing” into it.

@Psnfanboy79 Digital Foundry have said how the game has quality mode visuals at performance level framerates on the Pro and how there’s no reason to turn on quality mode when performance looks that good.

Also confirmed that performance mode via Pro on a VRR display has the game output at 120hz to improve input latency and expands VRR window having better motion stability.

Performance mode on PS5 base has 1440p resolution with shimmering and softness, the Pro has a higher average resolution and far better image quality with less shimmering and holds a higher resolution more often on PS5 Pro resembling the base PS5 quality mode.

DS2 early access edition here, we will be there for SURE.

If only someone said this… oh wait, multiple of us did lmao.

The platinum in this seems far easier given from what I can read no 120 legend of legends rankings needed 😅

@NintenGuy there’s still the movie in the works too 👀

@Lavishturtle

I am over the moon with this news but I do find it hilarious that the MGS movie has been in hell for almost a decade at this point where as now we have 3 DS multimedia projects in the works already lmao.

Already preloaded it on my Pro, next week cannot come soon enough!

The Wolf Among Us 2 in this list…

This ain’t even dropping in 2026….

Never ever change Kojima, similar mindset to Miyazaki with the original Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls and I’m sure most of the negative commenters had no issue with it then.

My pretentious goat! (If you read the whole quote it makes a whole lot more sense than the clickbait headline)

The power of mods.

Another female protagonist….

HELL FECKING YEAHHHHH BOYSSS

Between this, SHF and RE9 we are eating so good I love it, takes me back to peak days of SH3 and RE3.

@RunGMhx there is no way that the PS6 generation will not have a massive cross gen period given how only this month have Sony finally been able to report more users on PS5 compared to PS4.

2028/2029 should be the next generation point and TW4 could release late 2027/mid 2028 so it’s the perfect point for a cross gen title.

I can really see this just being an announcement for a convention panel but will be MORE than happy to be proven wrong!

@Colour I only am not picking it as am still so hesitant about it; seems way too good to be true; but if it lives up to the hype it could be a generational title.

Silent Hill F, Death Stranding 2, Ghost of Yotei and Borderlands 4 (got a close group of friends that always play together since BL2 launched) are my picks but was tempted to go for the likes of MGS Delta, Dying Light: The Beast and Outer Worlds 2.

This year is INSANELY strong for games.

It’ll be great for its target audience which are people who only played on the Switch 1 and therefore see the 2 as a massive leap forwards.

For those of us who solely use it as an on the go/nintendo first party machine, it’s the best of both worlds.

SILENT HILL FANS WE FINALLY EATING GOOD AGAINNNNN

Minds if Eye put this in the bargain bin?

Simon rematch after how long it took me to beat him on Expert….

Tom Holland as Link, you know it’s only right.

Was nice to see live gameplay, the game looks absolutely stunning and by far the best looking game of this generation as of now.

Combat still seems simplistic at its core but that’ll be something putting the difficulty up to hard/very hard will fix for the most part. Also god bless who played the game but they looked hella rusty so maybe that plays a part on the combat and how it was showcased.

Love the use of dynamic music for your actions in game and the visual flair on show all through what we seen, only skimmed through for the most part due to not wanting to be spoilt but this game is definitely going to be a GOTY contender.

Looks good as an DONTNOD fan, although the “mehdeh” delivery at the start did take me out and I had to rewatch the trailer to see things I’d missed in my laughing fit.

Thank the Lord for Gamepass.

Black Ops 7!

Having Call of Slop as your last big thing is genuinely laughable, Phil had the easiest chance of a threepeat of winning the summer showcases, what a weak end to a good show overall.

Sadly didn’t like the previous two games at all, pretty and good voice acting/OST but the game itself didn’t move me, but this will be nice for fans of the series!

@PuppetMaster No he didn’t, he said months ago that was a version of the game that was CANCELLED due to dev issues.

In recent months he’s said about:

• Returning to Racoon City
• Leon as ONE of the playable characters
• A gothic vibe for the game
• Return to more tense horror compared to 8

And all of that was true; he even hinted the name of the game 30 minutes before the reveal.

(On Leon I’m guessing the “action sequences” Geoff talked about will be his parts, where as Grace will have the more vulnerable stalker stealth horror sections)

People online and in the comments still can’t seem to comprehend that gaming isn’t all about AAA and MTX filled slop fests. If you bring actual games with creativity running through them people will turn up, and this SoP is proof of that, it had a great variety of titles, pretty good pacing bar the section with Sid Shuman and besides the Yotei fake out I enjoyed it all.

This was a great SoP, a little disappointed about the BIG Sony studios being missing yet again but the fast announcements and FINALLY so many Japanese games with Sony backing again, just like the good old days made the disappointment melt away real quick.

8/10 for sure! So much variety and very few games I don’t care for.

This state of play goes hard when you haven’t got a salty AAA addict in your ear moaning about it!
