Played it for a game… then switched to arc raiders lol

Has anyone seen anything about a physical release?

Glad to see and hopefully it does well. Xbox is doing with Fable what they should do with all of their games. Since Xbox isn’t trying to sell hardware anymore it makes no sense not to have their games everywhere day one.

Love to see it.

Look on the bright side. These devs are better off forming their own studios than being with Ubisoft.

@Scottyy doesn’t even need to be that. Just add some deeper gameplay sections and that’s it

Let’s not be stupid and be revisionists here. Anthem’s flying was great and that’s it. Gunplay was passable but for it being a looter its loot was utter dog s h i t. Story was bad. Anthem had 1/2 redeeming things and that’s it.

To have a better balance with gaming. Obviously gonna by some new games but buy less and work on the vast backlog. But also to be more flowing with what I’m feeling. Sometimes people need to take a break from gaming.

Low key a pretty balanced list

I know saber isn’t a rpg team but given their work and respect for the ip in space marine 2 really gave me a lot of confidence in their potential for this game.

Damn can sound like any more of a whiny B I T C H about Expedition 33?

Not a bad bet on Sony’s part but not mind blowing. Still think there are a lot other more pressing genres that Sony should be investing into.

lol Sony didn’t pony up the cash for this one but they did for lost soul aside. Looks ***** great

The problem isn’t inherently with the sequels, the problem is in the over abundance of them without investment into new ip/experiences and a greater variety of genres. Not saying Sony hasn’t have new ip/experiences this gen. Astro bot, Helldivers 2, Returnal, stellar blade, all are great examples there just hasn’t been enough of them this gen and we are already half way through the gen. The sequels are great but games take so long to make and Sony was so focused on live service games they did a crap job of investing into new ip and new teams. They had a new ip in 2021 and then nothing new until 2024, that’s not good. 2024 is the perfect year that Sony could have had they switched out Concord for one of their “Sony style games”.

@AdamNovice just be happy with sequels and don’t expect more from Sony

@SeaDaVie bad example considering how different each entry is in each franchise.

@TheArt metacritic isn’t the end all be all but yes it’s generally the best indicator. Yotei is a great game but there have been a lot of great games.

@Nei for art and game direction yes but not really action adventure. It was more so that previous years there weren’t enough higher rated action adventure games to fill out the category and this year it is.

@Nei bonanza just didn’t fit in a lot of the other categories. It didn’t have voice acting and platformers just kinda fell into action adventure games and there were other better action adventure games this year. But overall Bonanza more then earned its spot

@ShadowRJ thank you. I’ll take my win lol. This is meant in all good fun by the way in case if that wasn’t clear.

@Veritas7Ax good to owning up to it

Low key love that KCD2 got in over Yotei lol

@AdamNovice Yotei wasn’t snubbed. There was just some better games released

@PuppetMaster @Veritas7Ax @ShadowRJ
There it is boys. No Yotei

@Veritas7Ax it’s not even gonna get a nomination realistically. There’s just too many other games that reviewed better.

@Oram77 it wouldn’t have even beat Metaphor buddy.

@PuppetMaster it’s not a baseless prediction when looking at the best rated games of the year and yes Wukong got a nom but it’s the exception not the rule.

@PuppetMaster buddy out here acting like I’m the crazy one but has takes like this lol

@Oram77 Wukong is the exception not the rule. Wukong also sold 20 million copies in a month vs Yotei. Not exactly the same thing with capturing the moment.

@somnambulance yes cause a PlayStation website isn’t more biased towards a PlayStation studios game at all….

@PuppetMaster buddy I bought Yotei and love it. If it gets it great. I’m just saying that there are a lot of delusional fanboys that act like just cause Yotei is a PlayStation game then that’s a guarantee that it’s gonna be a GOTY contender. The reality is that there’s a lot of games that reviewed better then Yotei and it probably won’t get in.

@ShadowRJ more so used Blue Prince as an example of a game more likely to get a nomination then Yotei is. I don’t think it’s gonna get a nomination cause Silksong and Hades 2 took all the mindshare of indie games this year. More so saying that Yotei realistically isn’t gonna get a nomination. Think KCD2 stands a much better chance then Yotei at being an alternative nominee from the ones I listed

@Oram77 I think it was a good game and can understand why it got a nom with it doing so well in China but I just thought other games should have gotten a nomination over Wukong.

@ShadowRJ enough of the judges have heard of the games I mentioned and gave them better review scores then Yotei to get in.

@Oram77 main difference is that E33 has the review scores to back it up

@Oh_fiddlesticks mean Expedition 33 is literally gonna win but ok lol

@Ainu20 just saying neither are gonna get a nomination

@SaltySpitoon957 to get a nomination yes, the actual winner is almost guaranteed to be Expedition 33

@ShadowRJ just cause Tsushima got a GOTY nomination doesn’t mean anything. Outer Worlds got a GOTY nomination, OW2 isn’t gonna get one. Doom eternal got a GOTY nomination but Dark Ages isn’t gonna get one. This year has so many great games that a lot of games just aren’t gonna make the cut and in reality Yotei isn’t even in just outside of the top 6, it’s lower than that. Games like KCD2 and Blue Prince have better odds of getting a nomination then Yotei does.

@Ainu20 if it’s any consolation neither KCD2 or Yotei are gonna get a GOTY nomination.

I need the lot of you hardcore PS fanboys to realize that Yotei isn’t gonna got a GOTY nomination. The 6 nominees are gonna be

Split Fiction
Hollow Knight Silksong
Donkey Kong Bonanza
Hades 2
Death Stranding 2

And the winner is gonna be Expedtion 33.

Just prepare yourselves and don’t b i t c h about it.

Just wild it’s not gonna have a ps5 port at launch. Obviously the live service push isn’t ideal but this is the best case scenario of outsourcing the ip to an experienced developer in the genre. Mean it’s wild that it’s not on ps5 even though games like Warframe, where winds meet, gehsin and others all have cross play and progression. Will say actually like this idea and it’s nice to see Horizon actually having deeper rpg elements then what the mainline games have.

Think it’s less the story and more so the over abundance of 3rd person narrative focused action adventure games. Last of us, uncharted, ghost, horizon, god of war, even death stranding. To be clear, I think mostly everyone of these games are fantastic besides for maybe horizon and even then horizon aren’t bad games. But they all fall under the narrative focused action adventure genre. Think a lot of the ill will this gen towards 1st party separate from the live service ***** does stem from a lack of greater variety amongst their output this gen. 2021 and 2024 are the exceptions but outside of those 2 years it’d been only this type of game. Yes they are getting better with it. 2026 with Saros and Marvel Tokon are exactly why I’m talking about with a greater variety but I would like to see Sony invest in or sign a 2nd party deal and make a single player fps game. A proper Western rpg and not the half crapped attempt that horizon does.

@Oram77 the problem isn’t inherently the sequels themselves, it’s the lack of mixing in new ip and experiences mixed in with the said sequels.

@UltimateOtaku91 but buying big name studios and publishers isn’t the answer either. To be clear I 10000% agree with investing in new ip, but the best way to do this is to invest in newer teams with 2nd party deals. That’s how all the other teams started and worked up. This gen I use the examples of Returnal, Stellar Blade, Hellblade 2 ( yes it’s a sequel but it’s a new experience that’s well made) and Astro Bot.

@LogicStrikesAgain very accurate name 1000% right

@TruestoryYep the problems aren’t even the sequels it’s the over reliance on sequels this gen with very few new ip/ experiences mixed in with them. Not saying they haven’t done anything new (2021 and 2024 are examples, especially the great year of 2024) just that if you look at the big tentpole games this gen have been 98% big sequel and 1% live service and 1% new ip.

Glad to see a renewed focus on single player just hope Sony takes the right lessons from Concord’s failure. The problem wasn’t inherently live service just that they were idiots with how they did it. Also will say I hope Sony does a better job with intermixing more new single player experiences and ip and a wider investment of genres they are weaker in. I use 2021 and 2024 as examples of what I mean. Both years had new ip and new experiences. Would say the perfect year would be 2024 with a DS2/Rangarok big tentpole game instead of a concord. Their biggest problem this generation isn’t inherently the sequels it’s the nonstop stream of them for the most part with so few new ip/experiences. Still say that the ps4 was so successful cause of the stretch of new ip and experiences from 2017-2020. Spider-Man, horizon, Tsushima, hell even God of War 2018 was pretty much a new experience.

@Stevemalkpus outer worlds 2. I know it’s not a popular pick especially on this site with this group of fans but if people are acting like Yotei has a shot then Outer Worlds 2 does as well
