Medievil is a game that I still love to this day 😁 They did a great job with the remake imo but I totally get the complaints, especially for the camera. Still holding out hope (however unlikely) for a Medievil 2 remake 🤞

@Nightcrawler71 I'm hoping it turns out to be fine too, but with some of the oddball stuff surrounding it idk something just feels off. No console footage being shown, no console review codes being distributed, their PR guy getting overly defensive about people asking questions. But if there is indeed something wrong with the console version, I'm (low-key) hoping they put the blame on nondescript "saboteurs" 😂

"I speak for absolutely EVERYONE." 😐

Well, how can you possibly argue with that logic?

@PuppetMaster I remember recently in an interview SP said that Legends was developed alongside Yotei this time, not afterward like with Tsushima. So I'd assume their budget (which was already quite small compared to most PS games) was for both Legends and Yotei. They also probably didn't charge for it since they aren't planning to update and add to it forever. That's just speculation though.

I don't get why they didn't just show some console footage if nothing's wrong. "We'll show more at launch." Why not before launch? Just show it running on a Series S and most doubt would disappear 🤷‍♀️

It's crazy when you realize this is a FREE update for existing owners with no micro transactions and everything unlocked through playing 🙏

The PS1 would be pretty cool to see as LEGO. I remember when the Tallneck released people thought more PS stuff would get similar sets then nothing really came of that unfortunately.

He's not wrong. I've never understood wanting a game (or any form of entertainment) to fail. If someone enjoys something that you don't just pass on by.
Btw I was browsing the PS store earlier and saw Marathon is in the top ten played chart, like 6 or 7 (at least in the US). And if those players are enjoying the game then more power to them 🤟

I get having only one place to buy digital games sucks, but buying a code from a shop seems kinda pointless now unless you're gifting it to someone. It's such an unnecessary thing when it's far more convenient to just buy on the store that's available directly on the console. And what happens to third party games? Are they going to force those publishers to start printing codes for PS5 games as well?

I don't think it really matters at this point. At the rumored price of the gaming pc MS is going to release, it probably won't see that wide of adoption. If it bothered Sony that much then theoretically I guess they could delist the games already there or something(?), but it seems like a lot of wasted time and effort imo. Those players won't have access to the future games anymore anyways so what's the point.

MS probably could/should have focused on exclusives like 12 years ago. With the spot they're in now though, I feel like it's far too late for that.

Nice to see this mode return, and even better than before it seems. 👏 Though now that SP apparently don't have to spend time on a pc port anymore, I'm still holding out hope for a story dlc too like the previous Iki Island 🤞

@Sanquine Agreed. Time shouldn't matter if the interest is there. Forza was an "old" game when it went to PS and people bought it anyway.

Hype certainly plays a part in overall interest, but it shouldn't affect it that much. Not everyone has every platform, so many people wait for a game to reach the platform they have. It shouldn't matter if a game is "old" if the interest in it is still there. Spider-Man 2 was the fastest to-pc release they had and it did poorly. The reality is the interest in these games fell off. That's really it. Sony probably realized that and decided to put that all time and effort/resources spent elsewhere. And it's hard to disagree with it. Not only as a fan of these games/studios that wants to see new stuff made instead of ports, but just from a common sense pov. If they aren't making much money then what's the point of continuing to make them? 🤷‍♀️ In the end, all a business cares about is how much money made and spent. The whole "they're leaving money on the table!" argument only works if they actually sold, not after years of diminishing returns.

Personally, I don't think this is ever going to release unfortunately. "It is still in development" is all that's ever been said about it for years. From being passed around to different studios to claims of having been cancelled and then un-cancelled. This has just been a mess.

If Sony does end up going this route then I really hope they'll still continue supporting the PS5 too. Hopefully they'll keep their expectations in check because I can't imagine many being able to get a new machine with how the prices are right now with no change in sight. The point of a console is being able to easily get it into people's hands after all.

Always love seeing these 🤟

Whether true or not, it being mandated to be on Switch wouldn't be shocking as that's what most people suspected. Anytime people from Guerrilla or LEGO were asked directly about it they'd dance around it or give a non-answer.

Just when you think this can't possibly get any worse, these goofs at the top make it even more insane. This would be hilarious if people weren't losing their jobs. But just remember if you ever fail at something, it's all because of some outside forces constantly working against you. It's never YOUR fault 🤗

I get that having a lower price will obviously be more enticing to new people, but it's not a great look for players on their own platform. But I'm still happy for those looking forward to it. But I feel like this is a game that would've benefited from not being exclusive. There was so much hype and intrigue (pre-release) that they would've gotten more sales based solely on that alone. Now that people know exactly what it is, I hope some interest is still there.

Such an underrated game. I still wish there were more like it.

@Max_the_German Of course there will always be outliers. People point to how successful Helldivers was, but never really point out how none of Sony's other games on pc ever came close to those numbers and have continued to fall. (Which I'm sure is why the live service is unchanged). It's kinda like the Xbox games on PS; Forza as you mentioned was a hit. But the sales for almost everything else they've put on PS were pretty underwhelming. To me it makes sense for Sony as a business to look at what sells on pc and what isn't, then pivot if they feel it's necessary. Otherwise it's just wasted time and effort imo.

Kinda weird that FromSoftware were fine with them remaking Demon's Souls but not Bloodborne.

The ports did pretty well at the beginning of it but if they're seeing diminishing returns on them now then I don't see why they wouldn't go back to just having their single player stuff as exclusive again. Plus, if it means their studios can put more time into making new stuff instead of ports then I see it as a positive. Especially considering how long it takes to make/release games these days.

Ah, good ol' Arcade's Revenge. I remember playing both the Spidey and X-Men arcade games when I was a kid and thinking it would be just like those or some kind of mash up of the 2... how wrong I was 😂

If they really want to strengthen the brand then focusing on making good games exclusively for their own platform would be for the best. Unfortunately, they're 12 years too late imo. If they had done that from the start then maybe Xbox wouldn't be in the position it's currently in. They don't even have visibility in certain parts of the world anymore. And with Gamepass cannibalizing game sales it's far too late to go back to an exclusive model (and I say that as a PS player with little to no interest in their stuff) But crazier things have happened so I guess anything is possible 🤷‍♀️

10 years? I feel like if the AI bubble is going to burst it definitely wouldn't take that long.

They'd also have to consider the players that have large physical libraries spanning over both PS4 and 5. To not even offer a separate disc drive like they currently do would be shooting themselves in the foot imo.

We get it, man. I don't know why he always comes across as insufferable or unhinged. He did the same thing with 2018 and Ragnarok. I'm glad Sony ditched him or Santa Monica studio would never have been able to evolve past him.

I guess no more Spin Master? That kinda sucks. But it's nice Sony seems to want to continue making merch for those that want it. Guess I'm in for another Aloy figure.

The nostalgia of seeing this one really puts a smile on my face 😁 I loved Spyro as a kid and to this day I'll still play the 2nd game throughout the year when I need to relax. Though this makes me wish that Sony could somehow get the original games into the Classics catalogue. (The reignited trilogy is not spoken of in this house lol)

What I can't figure out is the "why". If they're looking for a fresh start why would they continue focusing on something that's all but dead? Imo they should just move on to something new and try to leave that whole "SABOTEURS!" nonsense in the past and hope that most people forget.

It's pretty strange how during all the cancelations last week this one survived and Ubisoft claimed that the game "remained a priority" for the company, despite being in development for almost 2 decades. I guess it's not that much of a priority lol 😂

I've always loved that Goof Troop game ever since I was a kid. Sucks about its "exclusivity" but thankfully there are other ways to play it.

Nothing like having some crazed weirdos spy on you with drones while you're trying to do your job. Glad that's not creepy at all 😑

This was just a really fun game to play which made getting the trophies not feel like a chore. What impressed me most about it though was the amount of suits they put in that you unlock by just playing the game. A lot of other companies would've just charged for "suit packs" or something. They even added more post launch. Cheers, Insomniac 👏

A bug that has been inadvertently draining players’ bank balances...

EA, Activision, Ubisoft: 🤔

"This is all part of an all-new 'major company reset' that's designed to 'reclaim its creative leadership'.
So of course they had to scrap 3 new IPs 🙄

"Ubisoft wants to 'return to exceptional levels of quality on the open-world adventure segment.'" Which I guess means just making Assassin's Creed games now and forever.

Still don't know how to feel about this. On one hand I'm excited to see what happens, but on the other hand the ending to the first game was impactful for a reason. If some players' Chloe died, then part of me feels like Deck Nine should just leave it be. I really liked True Colors so I'm still hoping they move on to new protagonists again.

It's still baffling how they'd cancel games that already had that amount of time and resources put into them. They even cancelled Rare's game 🤦‍♀️

If it's a sequel to Double Exposure then I still don't see how they can bring Chloe back for the players whose Chloe no longer exists. I guess through time travel shenanigans or alternate reality stuff(?), but that would cheapen it to me personally. It'll still be interesting to see regardless.

If the entire car was customizable then I honestly might consider it lol Like having a car based on Horizon, or one that looks like Astro's dual speeder 😂

@PuppetMaster Ngl I did laugh at "worthy" lol because I'm pretty sure Stephen is recounting his plats in the order he earned them in. Like is he just supposed to omit the ones other people don't like/care for? Idk, that whole thing was a bit weird. This is his personal journey after all, others will either go along for the ride or they won't.

The issue is most of the companies that are gung-ho on AI couldn't care less about "enriching creativity"; They look at it and see $$$. But I do agree that it's how it's used that matters.

Putting a game released this year in next year's awards is kinda odd, at least to me. But hopefully this means that the content creators associated with the game will stop being mad at Expedition 33 now, even though Dispatch probably won't win next year either.

I mean, there's a reason they left Japan years ago.

@Stevemalkpus Naughty Dog 😁

I always love seeing these. The gingerbread Naughty Dog characters are probably my favorite, but they're all creative 👏

To be fair we'll probably never get the truth, at least not from an official source, because a suit for the company is never going to admit when something isn't going well. The telling thing will be if anything does indeed change when the next game releases.

I've never seen the point in watching these streams. Not just from an interest level, but if anything noteworthy happens the news will be everywhere right afterward anyways. Even the lads over here will probably report on what happens, which I appreciate 👍
