Just a case of third parties taking Sony's money when they need help then acting like they never needed it to begin with. We all know where these game are going to sell best regardless.
It's one thing to get burned out on play a type of game, but Chinese Wuxia action titles might be the first instance of me getting burned out on a type of game being announced.
@KawakiisaFraud SE games never seem to hit they're sales goals, and it's releasing on four platforms at once, so I'm sure the shareholders are expecting a huge turnout, so they're gonna look real stupid if this doesn't sell ten million in a week.
FF7 and Stellar Blade were pretty much the only announcements I cared about, but they were enough to to pole vault the show to a very good score. Nicely done.
You've got to commend Hoyoverse for the amount of effort they put into new regions just for players to walk back and forth between four spot of interest.
This will either be the show that puts Sony back on the map as the power player they should be, or it'll that they've lost the plot and are completely tone deaf. I'd believe both.
A 10/10 from IGN is basically meaningless, but this does look a lot more fun than Shovel Knight (which I hated) and for $20, I can definitely give it a go.
It's a pretty apples to oranges comparison. Gameplay wise the games are similar but the feel and intentionality are really different. Saros doesn't feel like Returnal, but I'd play Returnal if I wanted to feel Returnal. Housemarque took the core of Returnal's gameplay and turned it into a different experience, and direct comparisons just don't work in that context.
@Frmknst it's not that cut and dry though. By that logic, watching something like Black Lagoon in the original Japanese makes no sense because all the characters are supposed to be speaking English.
@get2sammyb You could have mentioned that those numbers are pretty decent for a game this niche in one day, but you framed negatively because that's what gets clicks. That's why you're getting blowback. You knew exactly what you were doing. Own it.

Absolutely magnificent.

Why did they make her look so much like a teenager?
Re: This Single Player PS5 Action RPG Draws from the Strange Tales of Chinese Literature
It looks good, but it also looks like every other game coming out of China right now.
Re: Netflix's Highly Successful Devil May Cry Series Will Return for One Final Season
Successful doesn't mean good. This show got at least two seasons too many.

Re: God of War Laufey Voted Best PS5 Game at State of Play
@DarianStarfrog you can't just put words together and expect them to mean something.
Re: The Witcher, Cyberpunk Dev's Mysterious 'Hadar' Is an 'Immersive' and 'Emotional' Open World Game
@ShogunRok yes. With my full chest.
Re: The Witcher, Cyberpunk Dev's Mysterious 'Hadar' Is an 'Immersive' and 'Emotional' Open World Game
With sh*t combat I assume.
Re: No Rest for the Wicked Comes to PS5 Before Xbox, But It's Not Some Shady Exclusivity Deal
Which is exactly what they'd want us to think about a shady exclusivity deal. 😲

Re: Poll: What Was the Best PS5 Game at State of Play?
God of War Laufey took the show for me with Wolverine not too far behind.
Kemuri was the sleeper hit for me, but I need to know more before I can fully get behind it.

I wonder if David Jaffe is going to be an insufferable prick about this too
Re: Anticipated PS5 Game ILL Looks Revolting, In the Best Possible Way
Looks like this'll be the Scorn of 2027.
Whether that's a good thing or not, we'll have to wait and see.

Re: The Silent Hill PS5 Streak Continues in Townfall, Out on 24th September
This is looking really good. But then I read some of the comments on the YouTube post and got really bummed out.
Re: Stunning Action Game Phantom Blade Zero Delayed Out of PS5's Ridiculous September Schedule
Probably for best. October was starting to feel alone and scared.
Re: God of War Laufey Is the Next Main Entry in the Saga, 'Coming Soon' to PS5
This is exactly what I thought the game would look like after the leak (complimentary) it's great to see jumping and aerial combat make a comeback.
Re: Super Stylish Demon-Slaying Action Game Kemuri Announced for PS5
Hopefully co-op is more of an extra feature and not a load bearing one, because otherwise this looks absolutely SICK!
Re: Marvel's Wolverine Looks Brutal and Bloody Brilliant in First Proper PS5 Gameplay
God Bless you Insomniac for making Logan looks so chodey

SungWon Cho sounds incredible as Doom.
Re: Control Resonant Is Yet Another September 2026 Release, New Trailer Confirms
I was hoping for August and my gut said October. I'm still there day one, but I feel like it's going to get eaten alive releasing in September.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2026?
Overall, really strong. Maybe not 'lets hype this up two weeks in advance and show it in theaters' strong, but strong.
Inject Laufey straight into my veins.
Re: PS5 Fans Hopeful a Countdown Clock Is Teasing a Big State of Play
This will either be the show that puts Sony back on the map as the power player they should be, or it'll that they've lost the plot and are completely tone deaf. I'd believe both.

Obsidian cock up sounds like something you'd find on a completely different kind of website.
Re: Sudden Steam Deck Price Increase Pins More Questions on PS6

Re: Poll: Sony's Killing Its PS5 PC Ports - But Do You Agree with Its Decision?
PC is what made Xbox irrelevant. Sony pulling out while they still can is the smartest decision they've made all year.

Re: Saros Squashes Trophy Bugs and Other Nasty Issues in Latest PS5 Patch, Available Now
This was one of the smoothest, most satisfying platinum runs I've had in a while. I'm honestly kind of sad that it's over.
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for May 2026 Announced
I recommend everyone at least try Bramble The Mountain King. It's not very fun, but the experience is enthralling.
Re: Poll: Is Saros Better Than Returnal?
It's a pretty apples to oranges comparison. Gameplay wise the games are similar but the feel and intentionality are really different. Saros doesn't feel like Returnal, but I'd play Returnal if I wanted to feel Returnal. Housemarque took the core of Returnal's gameplay and turned it into a different experience, and direct comparisons just don't work in that context.

Re: Hands On: Leon Must Die Forever Isn't Worth Going Back to RE Requiem For
No, you don't understand. Capcom coverage is an echo chamber. Any and all press that isn't overwhelmingly positive gets you sent to the gulags.
