Yeah, probably 2029 but I'm hoping there's a chance of earlier.

@matekomlosi
It's like the 90s again for Capcom.

Even with all the rumors I was still slightly concerned Code Veronica might not be the next remake, happy it's confirmed, shoots right to the top of my most-wanted list.

I'll get it day one, just hope it's 2027 or at the latest, early '28.

I hope Gears of War E-Day is exclusive. I also hope Forza and Halo eventually go back to being exclusive. PlayStation needs competition.

Good game but not even close to Game of the Year level. Right now it's Resident Evil Requiem or Pragmata. Obviously GTA VI if it does release this year.

I voted Tomb Raider although I'd be lying if I said I'm not conflicted about it after the news of its use of A.I.

Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis. Disappointed that it's a 2027 release, get it from the business side but still sucks. At least it's looking good.

Until Dawn 2 was a nice surprise. 99.9% of gamers will absolutely hate it, and rightly so because the first one is objectively not a good game either, but it is a guilty pleasure for me and 2 likely will be as well.

Not surprised. I think people have been wanting a new Bond game for a bit and it being from the Hitman devs certainly didn't hurt. It's a good game but the more I've played the more it's become a distant third in my current rankings for favorite game of the year. Fun but flawed, very linear experience that guides the player far too much in certain places. Still way better than the other third person Bond games.

It's a day one buy but sucks that it was delayed into 2027. Probably means Catalyst is '28, which also sucks.

Looks very dumb, just like the first, which probably means I'll like it. Definitely one to look out for but if it's $70, might be a wait for sale rather than a launch day buy.

It was ok. Part of the problem, and it's been this way for a good number of years now, is the leaks. It's unavoidable but it means these shows no longer hit like E3s of the past. Anyway, the only thing I was really interested in beforehand was a release date for Tomb Raider and while I'm glad we have one now, it's extremely disappointing that it's not this year.

@KawakiisaFraud
Nobody was asking for a remake of the original trilogy, though. The only way it makes sense to me is if all future God of War games will no longer be starring Kratos, which given how Sony is going with its legacy IP these days, wouldn't shock me.

I'm a fan of the God of War series but have zero interest in playing a game that doesn't star Kratos. Hopefully this is just a one off and it's back to business as normal for the one after. Unfortunately that's probably a good 5+ years away considering there's the remake of the original trilogy that really wasn't needed. It's cool but takes up time and resources.

PS5 - 007 First Light

Switch 2 - Pragmata

@get2sammyb
Thanks. They still had some for pre-order through GameStop last week, fortunately doesn't seem to be as limited edition as I thought.

Should be getting my copy of the game and that awesome First Light-themed Dual Sense tomorrow. Looking forward to it, last Bond game I bought was GoldenEye 007 on Wii.

I like C. Viper's dress the most out of these with Alex's outfit being my least favorite. Appreciate the nods to the past for Ingrid and Sagat.

I played the Wii version. Decent game but enjoyed the GoldenEye reimagining much more.

Love this game, was my favorite from 2008 despite that also being the year of Grand Theft Auto IV, Fallout 3 and Gears of War 2 to name a few. Can't wait to have it on PS5 along with Peace Walker, which is also great.

PS5 - Time Crisis

Switch 2 - Pragmata

I was really looking forward to giving this version of the game a try to see how closely Namco could replicate that old light gun feel and, fortunately, I agree with what's been written. The gyro may not be a perfect solution but it's damn good and, even better, now opens up a world of possibilities both for future re-releases or maybe even brand new games.

Still a great game, which is what matters.

@Boxmonkey
I have the same thoughts. Going to play the game but I hope this 'modern' Bond the devs were talking about isn't a weak version of him.

Resident Evil Requiem story DLC and the next season of content for Street Fighter 6.

I'm always most interested in what the PS Plus Premium game will be and this month is a big one for me as Time Crisis is one of my favorite games of all-time. Really intrigued to see how it will be adapted to the Dual Sense and truly hope it works because if so that opens a treasure trove of classics from PS1 and 2 and ones that can be used in the Arcade Archives 1 and 2 and Console Archive lines.

Granted it will depend on if the companies want the game on their platforms (hardware power, too, in one instance) but hopefully this means Nintendo and Xbox could be included next time around.

I put tons of hours into Resident Evil Revelations 2's Raid mode. Wish they had just stuck with that.

Looks cool and I'm happy it seems they're trying some different things with the combat.

Honestly, the real way things play out might be worse. I'm not against playing as an absolute p.o.s. in a game, big fan of the Grand Theft Auto series, but it has to be done right. I haven't played this game yet because I know I'll suck at it, just like with Returnal, and probably get too frustrated to complete it. Going to watch the cutscenes, though, to see how the storytelling is, if it's actually handled well or if it's some sort of preachy nonsense.

Plan to start it today. Downloaded the free PS+ DLC but won't be paying any money for the other stuff. Not expecting much because 95% of free-to-play games completely suck but it looks like there was some effort put into this game so I want to at least give it a chance.

What's really embarrassing is adults crying a river over armor in a work of fiction. Don't like it? Cool, find something more your speed.

PS5 - Resident Evil Requiem

Switch 2 - Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata

Terrible job by Koei Tecmo as usual.

I'm not confident this movie will be good, even with Cregger directing it, but I'll still be in the theatre to see it just like I was for the Jovovich movies and the huge middle finger that was Welcome to Raccoon City.

My favorite game of the year so far. Love to see it selling well.

Sega has its problems but Nagoshi never should've left for the pile of trash (being kind) company Netease.

@Areus
Can't do worse.

It's going to be awful and I'm still probably going to see it in theatres.

Resident Evil Requiem on both PS5 and Switch 2.

Still Resident Evil Requiem.

This game always was a looker, have to give it that.

It's an FMV game so I'm definitely not playing it but as far as the subject matter, there is literally nothing controversial here. If you're so hypersensitive to a video game like this existing, you don't know what real problems are. Then again, I should be used to people whining about any and all video games these days, they make every single release out like it has to be some social commentary.

I'm all about the kind of designs they had for the female characters but you need more than that to keep me playing. I'm more into true single player campaigns with an entertaining story (doesn't have to be good, just fun) anyway, so to be fair to TFD, it was going to be difficult to keep me intrigued even if the gameplay was as awesome as say Bungie-era Halo. The main problem is, the gameplay isn't great so even if it had a campaign, I don't see the point with so many better third person shooters out there.

@somnambulance
Definitely interested to see what I think about the final chapters of the game when I get there. No matter what, though, I'm happy I purchased the game now rather than wait for a physical copy (which I will get if they eventually make one), it's been a blast. Agree it's a lot less janky than Suda 51's previous games but in comparison to other modern action games you can still tell the difference. Crazy enough, that appeals to me.

@somnambulance
Oh yeah, I've definitely been having fun playing Romeo is a Dead Man. Typical Suda 51 and Grasshopper weirdness, the gameplay is a bit janky, which I expected, but still a blast once you get used to it. The lower review score didn't deter me, I enjoy the game more than many that I've played which are rated 90+ and if holds up through to the end (about halfway through), this may top No More Heroes 1 as my favorite game from that dev team. Would've likely completed it fairly quickly but I bought not long before getting RE and that has taken a lot of my attention.

Romeo is a Dead Man (PS5) and Resident Evil Requiem (PS5 & Switch 2).

@Yousef-
Every company is experimenting with how they can screw over the consumer, unfortunately.

@somnambulance
I agree with you for sure about the lineup but I don't think it's that Nintendo hasn't made enough people realize NS2 is a new console and more the idiotic pricing. $450, or $500 for a bundle, is fair but high, especially for the type of consumer who usually buys Nintendo products. Those people with 3+ versions of the NS1, won't be doing the same this time around. Then there's the $80 games (insane), $90 Pro Controllers (more insane), $100 joy cons (even more insane) and, most asinine of all, $40 Amiibo. If Nintendo had charged $400 for the unit itself, $450 for the bundle and Mario Kart World was $70. I think you'd see a lot different reaction than what's going on right now.

The key cards also haven't helped. Physical buyers thought that Nintendo would keep supporting true physical for another gen and all they ended up doing was giving devs an excuse not to. Silly or not, many view that as a betrayal.
