Miles Morales, demons souls and I'm guessing at least one new game cough*FFXVI*cough, and if we're lucky, more about forbidden west or gt7, either one I'm okay with. We're almost guaranteed to see at least the release date and hopefully UI and price. Although I'm getting kind of worried now.
Not keeping my hopes up, but I would love this. If the rumors are true and persona 6 will be announced late 2021, I'll be set. I'm just happy we finally know more about SMT V
@Rhaoulos that was my reaction as well. a random pirate game I found on the switch eShop could do both. was clearly low budget too, cause the models looked like someone went at a block of wood with a dull knife, put a hat on it, and called it a pirate.
@Oaktownslugger What's your point? It's a remake, Bluepoint's clearly going to change a lot of the jank from the original, to make it resemble dark souls more in terms of refinement of gameplay. And I don't know who you are talking too, but nobody in their right mind ever said a souls game will be easy. Unless they literally devote their life to the games.
@Arnna Yes I know that. Hence why I said Elden Ring is fromsofts top priority and that I don't expect to see, if anything, a demon souls sequel until next gen or late this gen.
@eddie429 I never expected it to come out for a while. If anything, we'll get a bloodborne sequel before DS 2. And even then, they'll release something else before even those two, whether it be another dark souls, Sekiro or a new IP. I don't even expect it to come out this generation.
@Juanalf probably the only reason the cases are blue are because the PS5 is Blu-ray, I guess Sony is trying to make sure the average buyer knows that. Or they're just lazy. Probably both.
@eddie429 I would prefer if from soft will make it of course, but I want them to focus on Elden Ring right now, I really want to hear more news about that.
Titanfall handled MTX very well in my opinion, if they just do something like that no biggie. Don't think I will use the multiplayer much though, might stick my nose in when it's in full swing. I'm garbage at fps, and I'll have enough with the base game anyways.
@BranJ0 I'm with you. Nintendo deserves all the criticism for this move, especially the limited release (although the people who expected a full remake of 64 in the odyssey engine were kidding themselves even before the reveal). What is invalid criticism is whining at Nintendo for not releasing x amount of games this year. Not like the top Nintendo developers and directors were trying to plan an entire theme park or anything.
@clobbasaurus you raise a good point, but EA made a staggering $5 billion in net worth last year. I don't know how many games exactly EA makes a year, so I'm just gonna say 10 games. The average AAA game Costs around $20-30 million to make. So 30 times 10 is 300 million, that is nothing compared to the amount they make. On top of this, statistics show that most game sales are made digitally now. Both the PS store and steam store(don't know about eShop or Xbox store) take 1/3 of the profit of each game sold on the platform. So EA can still make a profit off of $40 per game sold. This does not even count the amount of money they make from MTX. EA is straight up lying through their teeth that they need more money to produce more games.
Edit: This is in USD, I don't know what the conversion would be to other currencies but I hope you understand what I mean.
@SirAngry Horizon 2 and Destruction All-stars are the only exclusives I flat out wasn't interested in. And even then, I might get Horizon 2 somewhere down the line.
@naloD true, but then why not do Shang-chi, his moveset would have been perfect for a game like this. maybe later on, but I don't know. The game doesn't look that great in the first place.
I feel like avengers is relying heavily on fan service, case in point with Kate Bishop. Most people don't know who the heck she is except for comic buffs like me. This seems to be a problem with most marvel videogames.
@Liverbirdsarego Then I've been lied to my whole life. Apologies.
Edit: I should have been insanely more clear, I meant modern cockney and Appalachian/New England in comparison to the received pronunciation of Shakespeare's plays. the R's were pronounced more like Appalachian, especially with words like march. In no way was I trying to associate a single accent with an entire country and I apologize for making it sound like that.
@I_Like_It I wouldn't pin it on Microsoft, it's 343s job as a company/developer to regulate this. They already had to restart once because of the negative feedback from halo 5, so theyre not in the right place. Microsoft is giving them creative freedom and responsibility over themselves, 343 is just messing it up.
I don't understand why people are trashing this game just because it is shorter. No one said anything about lost legacy being $40 DLC, but now that something like that is a launch title everybody is in an uproar about it. Sometimes I get a migraine over the double standards everyone on the internet has. The people complaining about this game are the ones who want shorter worlds and stories. I do understand people not liking the game because they only showed a teaser trailer and a couple screenshots, that is reasonable.
@Rhaoulos but then again, that's a whole other argument. The U.S modern dialect and accent is actually closer to the original English language than the modern English dialect. And to answer your other question, most people either distinct with football or futbol, or American football or football.
Kate bishop, aka hawkeye, is the person who took on the mantle of said alias after Clint Barton retired/died, don't remember which plotline. She was part of a team known as the young avengers, with other heroes such as iron lad and miss America. This is not to be confused with the new avengers, another group of young heroes including Nova and Ms.Marvel, (Khamala Khan), the west coast avengers or the great lakes avengers. Neither should they be confused with the avengers from the fifty state initiative after the first avengers civil war(yes there is two), or the Canada or UK based avengers, both of which the names escape me.
I'd much rather play card shark from the indie showcase than this. I'm hilariously intrigued to see what they are doing with the dual sense. Feel that crisp paper as you hold the controller...
Ah yes, here we go, my healthy dose of disappointment. God's and monsters and splinter cell would be nice, although I will be incredibly surprised if the latter is even mentioned, how many cameos can they do in a single month. At the very least I would like to get more news about far cry 6.
@thedevilsjester very true. I am notoriously slow and bad at most video games, especially first person shooters, but I have run into the same thing. In my favorite game(hollow knight), I spent hours on bosses and objectives people got first try, meanwhile it only took me 4-5 tries to beat one of the hardest bosses in the game to most people. I don't know about watch dogs though. The combat already looked kind of soulless from what I saw, and the hacking on top of that can make things a breeze. Especially if you have to repeat objectives to recruit different characters, I'll get used to it very quick. It definitely won't be teeth-clenching difficulty for me, I'll say that.
Meh, whatever, I was gonna pass on it anyways, but I might try AC Valhalla, if only cause of the setting and folklore stuff they're bragging about. Literally any other studio could have made a viking game where you raid the English countryside great, but it had to be Ubisoft. Oh well, at least we have skull and bones to look forward to, in 3020 along with elder scrolls 6 and GTA 6
@Dryster that's because the games are originally built on the Xbox one, so all they have to do is upscale it. It's actually pretty smart, although the games are still restricted in a sense. The Ps5 is built from the ground up just for the console, so of course it will run into errors. Third party games also upscale as well, which is why black ops cold war and dirt 5 can run at 120 fps but this cannot. It's the same for every console generation, when you compare killzone shadow fall to last of us part 2, it's no contest which one is better looking.
