Can't wait. This is one of my favorite franchises ever. Except for some of the spin-offs, I've enjoyed every mainline game (yes even part 6, even though it's the worst one).
And it takes 100 hours to clear, not including side quests... At 50, I just don't have the time or patience, for the bloated runtimes. I would just get bored after 30-40 hours, take a break, and never return to it...
Shovel Knight should have grown into a Mega Man styled franchise. Could have been up to Shovel Knight 8 by now, done in 32bit pixel style.
It's great that they added new stuff to the original, but they milked it for TOO long, with remixes, of the same stages.
Time for a proper sequel guys!
A problem lots of VR "games" suffer from, including the short playtime, with zero replay value. These kind of games should be available to play on PS+.
Considering how long it takes now, to make these AAA games, I would rather see brand new IP:s, instead of sequels. It's the same with movies. Too many sequels.
I hate these re-releases. They should at least offer free upgrades, so we don't feel ripped off. Same with Falcom, and Ys Nordics. Just a couple of months, after buying the game, they announced the expanded re-release ...
The hardware itself, have been great, except for PSSR, which have been hit and miss. Sadly, when it comes to native first party games, it's been the worst generation so far. Way too many remakes and remasters. Astrobot ,Stellar Blade and Rift Apart are probably the only ones I really enjoyed so far. Though Wolverine looks promising.
Overall, the PS4 generation was MUCH better. Definitely up there with the PS2.
Not sure yet if I will buy a PS6, or just stick with PC from now on. I'm definitely gonna wait a year. I don't want the first years to be packed with cross-gen and remasters again.
Well deserved. It felt like a throwback, to the PS3 era. I'm so happy that the east delivers kickass games again, as I'm so damn bored of AAA games from the west.

It's not a console. It's a living room gaming PC, that can also be used as a normal PC.
They're not trying to take over the console market.
"Love" how you're automatically a weirdo, bigot or hater, if you don't fall to your knees and hail games like "Horizon" and "Last of Us", as the best thing ever.
The two layer gameplay, is what I loved about the demo. Same with the mayhem on screen. So tired of reviewers counting difficulty as a negative. There is a reason why some of us still play hard arcade and NES games, as it's more rewarding to beat a difficult game, when you finally learn all the patterns. Much better replay value.
@Romans12 A lot of us still enjoy RDR1, and I prefer it, to the bloated sequel. Doesn't matter if a game is even 20-40 years old. A good game, is still a good game, no matter how old it is.
These weren't first party Sony titles, so the developer can choose where they want to release them. At the moment PC and Nintendo has a bigger audience for these kind of games.
Yotei has better gameplay, but I think I like them both equally.
Though I don't want a third game next. I want them to do something new after this. Don't want developers to be stuck doing the same franchise for generations to come.
Just like with most developers, who released a hit game 10-20 years ago, the latest sequel will crash and burn, due to having none of the original team and talents left among them. Old BioWare is dead.
I don't trust any release dates.
Not until we are 3-4 weeks, from the release and no more delays have been announced.
I wish developers stopped announcing games, until they are 3-6 months from a release date, that is set in stone.
Would be less frustrating, when a game is delayed for years.
And that way they could show off actual gameplay, in the trailers, instead of only relying on cinematic ones, or even just a logo.
Fanboys panicking over Playstation games, on PC, being bad for the consoles.... There have been Playstation games on PC for years now, and yet the PS5 keeps selling like hotcakes. As a PC gamer, I also enjoy consoles, and there is no signs, of Playstation consoles going away. I know PC gamers, that played Ghost of Tsushima on PC, and bought a PS5 now, so they didn't have to wait for the PC port of Yotei.
The PS Store, used to be the last one, that hadn't drowned in shovelware yet, compared to Switch and Steam... It's just gonna get worse, unless Sony starts to moderate the damn store.

🤣👍
Re: New PS5 Controllers Said to Be Optimised for Better Battery Life
And still no Hall Effect/TMR sticks?
Edit: I usually play with the controller wired these days.
Re: No One Seems to Know if This Shenmue 4 Trailer Is Real or AI
The fighting animations looks terrible, so yeah, I suspect AI as well.
Re: We Didn't Have a New Carmageddon on Our 2026 PS5 Bingo Card
Looks promising.
Though they went the N64 route, with zombies instead of humans...
Re: PS5 Sci-Fi Action RPG SOL Shogunate Is Samurai in Space, and It Looks Awesome
Samurai in space?!
Love it!
Hope it's a 2026 game.
Re: The Game Awards Hype Video Is a Nice Reminder It Isn't All About the Trailers
Can't wait for it to be over with, so I can take a look at the trailers afterwards.
Award shows makes me wanna puke.
To quote Ricky Gervais:
"Accept your little awards, and f**k off!"
Re: No Cyberpunk 2077 Update Planned for RPG's 5th Anniversary
They can't continue to add stuff to the game forever. All focus should be on Witcher 4 now.
Re: Slivers of New Resident Evil Requiem Gameplay Debut on Japanese TV
Can't wait.
This is one of my favorite franchises ever.
Except for some of the spin-offs, I've enjoyed every mainline game (yes even part 6, even though it's the worst one).

Re: Red Dead Redemption PS5 Another Subpar Re-Release from Rockstar
Those are the improvements I was looking for.
Didn't expect any more anyway.
And I don't need controller gimmicks in every game.
Re: Shovel Knight Dev Might Live or Die Based on the Sales of Mina the Hollower
Shovel Knight should have grown into a Mega Man styled franchise. Could have been up to Shovel Knight 8 by now, done in 32bit pixel style.

Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta Producer Is Hoping to Remake MGS4, Rescuing It from PS3 Jail
I can't even remember the gameplay in MGS4, only the long cutscenes, that felt like they would never end 😂
Would rather have an epic remake of the first game.

Re: Talking Point: Does PS5 Have a Sequel Problem?
Considering how long it takes now, to make these AAA games, I would rather see brand new IP:s, instead of sequels.
It's the same with movies.
Too many sequels.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up 😃👍
Re: SEGA Actually Admits Persona 5 Royal-Style Re-Releases May Result in Stunted Game Sales
I hate these re-releases.
They should at least offer free upgrades, so we don't feel ripped off.
Same with Falcom, and Ys Nordics.
Just a couple of months, after buying the game, they announced the expanded re-release ...
Re: Yakuza Kiwami 2 Has All-Important 60FPS Performance on PS5 Alongside Free Upgrade
@Krlozgod
Oh well, I'll buy it digitally, during a sale.
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2 PS5 May Not Be Dead Just Yet
It's been 22 years, since the original.
Doubt anyone really cares anymore.
Just let it die already.
Re: Yakuza Kiwami 2 Has All-Important 60FPS Performance on PS5 Alongside Free Upgrade
No upgrade for physical? 🤔
Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?
The hardware itself, have been great, except for PSSR, which have been hit and miss.
Sadly, when it comes to native first party games, it's been the worst generation so far.
Way too many remakes and remasters.
Astrobot ,Stellar Blade and Rift Apart are probably the only ones I really enjoyed so far.
Though Wolverine looks promising.
Overall, the PS4 generation was MUCH better.
Definitely up there with the PS2.

Re: Valve Won't Subsidise Steam Machine, Expected to Be Pricier Than More Powerful PS5

Re: 'Financial Viability Is a Big Deal': Emulation Studio on Why More Retro Games Aren't Coming to PS Plus Premium

Re: New Report Finds Almost Half of US Kids Are After In-Game Currency for Christmas
I'm so glad I grew up in the 80:s...
Re: 'We Believe It's Feasible': Emulation Studio Working on PS3 Support for Modern Consoles
Love emulating PS3 games on PC.
Higher resolution and being able to unlock 30fps caps, to play games like Resistance in 60+fps, is great.
Re: Horizon Sales Update Cements It As One of Sony's Strongest Franchises
"Love" how you're automatically a weirdo, bigot or hater, if you don't fall to your knees and hail games like "Horizon" and "Last of Us", as the best thing ever.
The cult behavior is kinda hilarious.

@Romans12
A lot of us still enjoy RDR1, and I prefer it, to the bloated sequel.
Doesn't matter if a game is even 20-40 years old.
A good game, is still a good game, no matter how old it is.
Re: Talking Point: The Game Awards 2025 Nominations Announced - Who Are Your Winners?
My peronal GOTY is "Shinobi: Art of Vengeance".
With "Ninja Gaiden Ragebound" in second place and "Doom Dark Ages", in third place.
Though i still think that "Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" deserves to win.
Prime example, that you don't need $300 million budgets, to make epic games.
Re: Poll: Does the Steam Machine Pose a Threat to PS5?
No it's an alternative, that can live side by side with consoles.
Why would it be a threat?
Re: Horizon Dev Guerrilla Won't Abandon PS5, Has 'More' Games Coming
Enough with Horizon already!
Either make a new IP, or reboot Killzone.
Re: New Ratchet & Clank Game Announced, But Not for the Platform You Want
Got excited there, for a second, until I read mobile and free multiplayer shooter...
Ugh, wonder if we'll get another R&C game, for consoles, this gen, or if we'll have to wait until next gen.
We got so many games in the franchise, on PS2 and PS3...
Re: PS1 Classics Aquanaut's Holiday, Tail of the Sun Will Be Revived, But Not on PS5
These weren't first party Sony titles, so the developer can choose where they want to release them.
At the moment PC and Nintendo has a bigger audience for these kind of games.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for November 2025?
Waste of time.
Was really looking forward to this State of Play, since if was focused on Japanese games, but there was sadly nothing for me... 😞
Re: Sony Speaks on Bungie Acquisition Disaster, Takes an 'Impairment Loss'
$3.6 billion?! That's just insane...
Imagine all the games Sony could have made for that money, instead of wasting it on buying a studio.
Re: Poll: Is Ghost of Yotei Better Than Ghost of Tsushima?
Yotei has better gameplay, but I think I like them both equally.
Though I don't want a third game next.
I want them to do something new after this.

Re: Leaked Cross-Buy Icon on PS5 Hints at Mysterious Pro-Consumer Move from Sony

There have been Playstation games on PC for years now, and yet the PS5 keeps selling like hotcakes.
As a PC gamer, I also enjoy consoles, and there is no signs, of Playstation consoles going away. I know PC gamers, that played Ghost of Tsushima on PC, and bought a PS5 now, so they didn't have to wait for the PC port of Yotei.
So just chill.

Re: Sony's Allowing Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection Refunds Because the PS5, PS4 Compilation Is a 'Downright Nightmare' for Some
Modern gamers are too weak.😂
No wonder after all these years of easy games, that almost holds your hand all the way through...😜
