This isnt a disaster as is more that its a realization that live service is just not what most Playstation owners want from these amazing studios. Why would I want a God of War live service when the 2 most recent God of Wars are AMAZING single player games? Give me more stories or spin offs with other characters for example. I rather see them shut these down and prevent further loss than push em out and become Concord. This should mean back to the fundamentals and follow that recipe to success.
I'm not interested in playing an Overwatch clone with a Marvel skin, and I'm staying away from Marvel Rivals for that reason. However, I think the player count won't hold up once people realize it's just another Overwatch-style game, and it will shut down.
I'm not surprised that the Pro is more expensive. The cost of practically everything has gone up, and you can't build a comparable PC for $700 anymore. If you already own a PS5, there's no need to buy a Pro model just keep what you got and be smart.
I agree with this review. I pre-ordered the gold edition of Star Wars Outlaws because I was excited for the game and because I'm a Star Wars fan. I'm about seven hours in and very disappointed. The combat and stealth leave a lot to be desired. The exploration and world are fine, but for some reason I felt more in a Star Wars universe in Jedi Survivor. I think people should wait and buy this game on sale.
Kiwami 1 and 2 are probably best in the series. If you're thinking of playing the series just start with these, you can play 0 and the others later. I hope they make Kiwami 3 soon though
The problem for this genre is that no one is standing out as different or innovative enough. It's basically a dark souls copy with a different story or setting.
I loved this franchise back during the PS2 era. I lost interest afterwards because I felt they weren't doing much to push the genre. This game seems to be a restart so to speak so ill keep an eye and will definitely try it, I just hope it stands out from their earlier games and push the envelope so to speak.
Are Overwatch clones still a thing? Why? I was hoping for some borderlands/destiny type game not this crap. At this point it will take a lot to get me to play or even try it, I would have to think about it even if its free.
This will probably be one of the worst acquisitions in gaming history. Time will tell but I feel this will not age well. Bethesda has dropped some duds lately and I wonder if Activision will follow suit and quality will drop. As a Playstation guy, I will opt to look for other options to replace COD.
@BacklogBrad I don't think it takes 6 years for every game that's subjective based on the game and the scale of it. We need a deeper look that's why I said there are too many questions. Think about it, are they being greedy and laying off to save money now that they got all work done or are they laying off because there is or are predicting impactful losses?
Man, it feels bad, but it's not just CD. Nowadays, if a game doesn't do well, especially new IPs, you can surely expect layoffs. It sucks, and I'm not sure what is going on. Are games getting that expensive to make to the point that if they don't succeed, you have to lay off people, or are they just cutting to avoid any financial crisis in the future? Too many questions, and it definitely makes you think that maybe being a developer or in the gaming industry isn't all that great, since there is no stability
Ah yes awesome this makes a lot of sense. I played this on PS1 back in the day not that I was against playing on the Switch but probably will go on sale sooner and cheaper than on the Switch.
Before I saw this lineup I was a definite no for the PSVR2 but now I'm 1 step in the only issue is that I also want a steam deck. So many hard decisions.
Fortnite because it never disappoints and the DBZ collab is awesome. Also Tiny Tina's Wonderlands which is surprisingly better than expected.
I began God of War Chains of Olympus on the Vita. I can't believe I paid $15 dollars for a game that old and should be on PS plus but I have to catch up on all the God's games. It makes me wish Playstation would bring the Vita back what a great console.
I haven't played this game yet its been in my backlog for years now lol. I dont know if this game really deserves a movie but sounds like we're going to get it anyway.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 538
Lets see, Gotham Knights, Phoenix Wright Justice for all and Lego Skywalker Saga.
Gotham Knights is very underrated, I'm having a ton of fun with it especially since its free or was given free by PS.
