I'm still trying to get caught up on Zenless Zone Zero. I kind of hate how good this game has gotten since launch. I used to just log in for my dailies and the just do a story mission when I had some time. Now the roster is more fleshed out, the gameplay is way more dynamic and I care way too much about my character build.
Analysts don't know anything because they can only predict the future from a present perspective. No one knows what the world will be like 3-4 years from now, especially considering how fast the world moves today. That's why I don't make predictions, and why I don't take any predictions seriously.
I'm sure I'll see it eventually, but I'm not really looking forward to Jim Carrey butchering Robotnik two different ways or Keanu Reeves making Shadow even more boring.
Intergalactic takes it for me, but Okami 2 is a close second because who could have possibly seen that coming.
Gen Design's new game is in third because I'm there for anything Fumito Ueda makes.
Really wish we got an update on Sword of the Sea though.
Sounds like a desperate attempt from Bandai Namco to a ring a little more money out of FromSoftware before they're owned by Sony. That said, the mobility options in the trailer do have my attention.
I've been play Crisis Core Reunion on my Portal with cloud streaming. It's pretty nostalgic playing it like this. It takes me back to playing the original on the PSP, except it's on a bigger screen, better graphics and worse voice acting.
I've played the demo five times now. I still have some reservations about the game, but this is still the most optimistic I've felt about a Musou project in a long time.
I lost my dad when I was 10. It was a lot to process for my brother and me, so my mom got us a PS1 to help. Playing games like Tony Hawk and Gran Turismo together really helped us cope, and games like Spyro and Final Fantasy helped me shaped my taste in gaming. Playstation has been my go-to console ever since.
So thank you Playstation. You've helped me through most the hardest times in my life
A.I. can be a useful tool to help make artists' jobs easier. It's not, however, a tool that can replace artists altogether, and should never be viewed as such.
This was the game that got me into Dragon Quest and it's still one of my all time favorites. Shame that it's legacy currently ends with a downgraded port on a now dead piece of hardware.
I'm not putting any stake in this rumor just yet. Plenty of reputable sources said that Sony was buy Square Enix not too long ago and look how that turned out. I'm sure Sony is making some kind of play right now, but until it actually manifest, I'm going to assume it's just business as usual.
Shadow of the Erdtree is going to win. Not because it deserves to, but because FromSoftware still has to be treated like a little baby getting it's work put on the fridge.
Let's all feel bad for Xbox fans. Their god company got so big that they can't have exclusives anymore and now they have to beg for games from the rival company they claim to hate. Truly my heart bleeds for them.

L'chaim everybody.
Re: Genshin Impact's New Best Girl Rides a Motorcycle Through Teyvat on PS5, PS4
Having Mavuika and Citlali's banners run at the same time feels like a war crime.

Re: Final Fantasy Devs Suggest Which Rebirth Girl Is Best (for Cloud)
Not that Cloud and Aerith wouldn't be a good couple, but their connection is built more on their history with Zack than their own chemistry.
Cloud and Tifa just work together. They make each other better.
Re: Round Up: Reviews Dub Sonic 3 Movie the Best of the Trilogy
@RamboMike he's a bad actor, a bad person and he's giving a bad performance. Sorry to break it to you, but it's true.

I'm sure I'll see it eventually, but I'm not really looking forward to Jim Carrey butchering Robotnik two different ways or Keanu Reeves making Shadow even more boring.

Wow. F*ck you too Falcom.

@DennisReynolds How do you know that?
Re: Hideki Kamiya Cannot Describe Joy of Returning to Capcom for Okami PS5
Congrats to Kamiya. It sucks he had to wait until Capcom went full Disney ready to greenlight anything recognizable to get it made though.
Re: Talking Point: What Was the Best Game Announcement at The Game Awards 2024?
Intergalactic takes it for me, but Okami 2 is a close second because who could have possibly seen that coming.
Gen Design's new game is in third because I'm there for anything Fumito Ueda makes.
Really wish we got an update on Sword of the Sea though.

Re: Naughty Dog's New PS5 Game Is Finally Announced, Sci-Fi Action Title Intergalactic
Looks great. Can't wait to have a space game that's better than Starfield.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate The Game Awards 2024?
Never thought I'd say I liked the awards more than the announcements, but yeah, it was a good show.
All the kudos to Astro Bot on a well deserved win.
Re: Poll: What Will Win Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024?
Erdtree shouldn't win, but if it does and then Sony announces their Kadokawa acquisition right after, that'd be a petty baller move.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Watching The Game Awards 2024?
For some reason I decided it was a better use of my time to go see Kraven the Hunter.
Re: 12 New PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Arrive Next Week
It may be a fruitless effort, but I hope more people give Forspoken an honest try.

Re: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Demo Has Been a Huge Hit, Tops 1 Million Downloads
I've played the demo five times now. I still have some reservations about the game, but this is still the most optimistic I've felt about a Musou project in a long time.
Re: Round Up: Indiana Jones Reviews Are Live, Mostly Very Strong
@Americansamurai1 Is it really a win if it costs you 7 billion dollars and you have to share it?
Re: PSVR2 Rhythm Game Synth Riders Adds Barbie Crossover, Featuring New Experience
It's time to beach
Re: Open World PS5 Game Ananta Looks Absolutely Insane in Latest Trailer
The fact that we're probably getting this before GTA 6
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your PS1 Memories?
I lost my dad when I was 10. It was a lot to process for my brother and me, so my mom got us a PS1 to help. Playing games like Tony Hawk and Gran Turismo together really helped us cope, and games like Spyro and Final Fantasy helped me shaped my taste in gaming.

So thank you Playstation. You've helped me through most the hardest times in my life
Re: How Well Do You Know the PS1?
7/15. I feel like I should have done better, but thems the breaks
Re: PlayStation Boss Hermen Hulst: AI Won't Replace the 'Human Touch' in Game Development
A.I. can be a useful tool to help make artists' jobs easier. It's not, however, a tool that can replace artists altogether, and should never be viewed as such.
Re: How Well Do You Know Yakuza / Like a Dragon?
I got 6/15 by guessing because I don't know s**t about Yakuza.
Re: Infinity Nikki Can Shrink Like Astro Bot with New Outfit in PS5 Platformer
The teaser trailer last year also showed a dress that makes her a kaiju. I don't know if that's still in the game, but it's pretty cool.
Re: Outstanding PS2 RPG Dragon Quest 8 Is Now 20 Years Old
This was the game that got me into Dragon Quest and it's still one of my all time favorites. Shame that it's legacy currently ends with a downgraded port on a now dead piece of hardware.
Re: Naughty Dog Casts Troy Baker to Star in Untitled Next PS5 Game
@Michael2008ish That's literally how animation is done. Reference material saves time and labor for developers. That's why they get it early.
Re: Naughty Dog Casts Troy Baker to Star in Untitled Next PS5 Game
@Michael2008ish Voice overs happen very early in development so animators have a reference point. Dubbing is later in development.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Want a Steam Deck-Like Portable PlayStation?
Yes. I just hope it has better form factor that the steam deck. That thing's ugly as sin.

Re: Stellar Blade's Eve Will Attack You if You Act Inappropriately in New PS5 DLC

Nice touch.
Re: Feature: Why Would Sony Want to Buy Kadokawa?
I'm not putting any stake in this rumor just yet. Plenty of reputable sources said that Sony was buy Square Enix not too long ago and look how that turned out. I'm sure Sony is making some kind of play right now, but until it actually manifest, I'm going to assume it's just business as usual.

Shadow of the Erdtree is going to win. Not because it deserves to, but because FromSoftware still has to be treated like a little baby getting it's work put on the fridge.
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Will Not Have a Paid Battle Pass or Subscription on PS5
It feels like Ubisoft may have been a bit humbled after Star Wars Outlaws, which might be the best thing about that game.
Re: Sounds Like Microsoft Isn't Done with Gaming Acquisitions Just Yet
Imagine being Tango Gameworks or Arkane Austin getting shut down by Microsoft only to find out they're looking for your replacement.
Re: Blizzard Hits Nostalgia Button, Overwatch: Classic Launches on PS5
That's one way for Blizzard to admit that they blew it with Overwatch 2.

Please (don't) make these sets real.
I really (don't) want to spend ungodly amounts of money on them.
Re: NieR: Automata's Weird and Wonderful World Invades PS5 Hit Stellar Blade this Month
At least something good happened this month.
Re: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Getting a Surprisingly Huge Marketing Push
@KundaliniRising333 Astro Bot is a kid level game too and if you think that's lame, that's 100% a 'you' problem.
Re: Infinity Nikki Will Be the Next Big Thing on PS5
Nice to end the year on a bright note. Because we've got a dark few years ahead of us.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Dev 'Heartbroken' by Passing of Venom Voice Actor
@AdamNovice The new one is really good too.
Re: This Time Next Year, You Could Be Playing GTA 6 on Your PS5
I wonder if Rockstar is still glad they're not releasing this in the Trump era.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for November 2024?
This month is pretty whatever, but at least I've got two Horizon games to compensate.

Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard (PS5) - The Best BioWare Game Since Mass Effect 3
@ShogunRok is this friendly to newcomers? I've only played a little bit of Inquisition so I don't know much about the series.

I've been saving for Yanagi since 1.0. I'm ready to bring her home.
