Ok this one I don't mind watching. However when Square releases their launch trailer aka let's spoil the entire game trailer for Rebirth, I'll be in the corner with my eyes closed and fingers in my ears going lalalalalala.

Even Sony can't justify ports of Astrobot, Blood and Truth, Wipeout Omega Collection etc to PSVR2.

So much for my principles. I was planning on waiting for a sale due to the ng+ fiasco. But nope, the game is as amazing as it looked in previews

I'd be down. Best in the series in my opinion. Mainly because it was less of an AC game and more of a pirate adventure.

I was excited for this game, but now I'm gonna hold off for a sale. Don't want to reward these companies by paying $15 more for the full game. Sadly if the game doesn't sell well SEGA will probably just blame RGG and not their business practices.

I was probably going to keep it light in preparation for Infinite Wealth next week, but with the news of NG+ being locked behind the deluxe edition and there being 9 trophies attached to it, I'm going to pass. Now I got 6 weeks before Rebirth. Deciding to jump back into either Sea of Stars or BG3.

Not watching anymore trailers (especially with Square's history of self spoilers). But eagerly awaiting the demo for Rebirth. Was hoping it would drop before Infinite Wealth comes out.

Such a waste of time to keep supporting a game DoA. A 60fps patch for Arkham Knight would be a better use of their resources.

All of the above option for me please! And Hi-Fi Rush!!!!!

Probably just a mistake. I am curious how this game performs. I loved the first Helldivers. But the switch to 3rd person doesn't interest me. I felt the same about Returnal tho and that ended up fantastic.

Animal Well, Cat Quest, and Plucky Squire for me. Very doubtful that Silksong comes out this year.

Some of these games really need to get delayed out of February. So weird how the last few Februaries have been so stacked

Greatest year in gaming ever yet a game Push Square awarded an 8/10 is the GOTY. I really enjoyed it, but BG3 defined what 2023 reached in terms of games.

FF16 has a lot of issues, but its score was the best in gaming this year.

My mind is blown that Horizon's DLC was this year. Felt like that came out ages ago.

@BusyOlf assuming you're talking about the Korean game DokeV. They announced early on this year there would be no further news until 2024. Pearl Abyss have Black Desert online they continue to maintain and I believe Crimson Desert is slated to release next for them

Definitely disappointing. As that initial trailer for DokeV seemed to show a lot of gameplay I figured it was further along. Was excited for my nieces to play that game, but they'll probably be moody teenagers when it finally releases

Never occured to me how few open world games there were this year. Actually kind of a refreshing revelation to me. Spiderman and Hogwarts were great. Avatar doesn't look like it would appeal to me. Tchia I do still wanna try sometime.

If the quality of the latest Sony PC ports is anything to go by, this stolen build is probably indicative of the end result anyway.

I'll make sure to set aside 30 minutes on my 2025 calendar to play this campaign

Asgard's Wrath 2! Put in about 2 hours into it yesterday and excited to sink my teeth into it over the weekend.

This could be fun. Also a way to throw a bone to the people upset that spiderman 2 wasn't co-op despite Insomniac numerous times stating it was single player only.

He looks like he'd invest that money wisely.

I'll take just a PS5 port of the original game at this point. Don't even need the remake.

Between this and the Harmonix game I almost want to play Fortnite.....almost.

You're supposed to make fun of your peers in award shows. Plus it was one of the few jokes that actually landed. Without it we would just be left with whatever that was that Anthony Mackie did on stage for a few minutes.

Thumper is one of my favorite VR games. As it doesn't seem like we will get a sequel, this appears to be the next best thing.

Clearly the hype of the "Florida Joker" being shown is what got the trailer to 90M views in a day.

I loved the English dub in Yakuza 7 Like a Dragon, but unfortunately the casting will make me switch back to Japanese for future games. I don't get it as the English VO for Kiryu in 7 was perfectly fine. Its a shame I'm really gonna miss Kaiji Tang as Ichiban. He crushed that role.

It truly is a wonder how this Harvest Moon clone made by a lone novice (at the time) developer has changed gaming forever. Not only by selling 20+ million copies, but revolutionizing the genre to the point that there's a new farming/slice of life game coming out every week it seems. Kudos to his accomplishments, and continued work ethic. Many would have cashed out by either investing into a bigger team, or just go into early retirement.

That's a bummer for the six people this will effect.

NG+ is the only answer. Curious with the simplification of gear (most enemies just drop tech parts based on their level) they could also increase the level cap as well without too much additional effort.

Wow fantastic list. Honestly I can't remember a time where I didn't own any of the games, and legitimately would play all of them as well.

Everytime I see Arkham Knight news I hope it gets a 60fps boost. Alas today is not the day.

I enjoyed the uniqueness of the side quest, but sadly my memory goes to taking 15 minutes to figure out I need to stand on an elevator and throw a rock at a button to proceed.

On a somewhat related note, is there any logical reason we still can't gift games on the PSN? With digital taking over physical gaming, this is something that's kind of expected in a storefront nowadays. Sending a gift card is not the same as buying someone a specific game.

Maybe they will add overly exaggerated jiggle physics as a gacha prize down the line to capitalize on this.

A statement straight out of the vaporware handbook.

Literally cost them tens of thousands of sales with that decision.

I still play my Vita, but even if they make another handheld, I don't trust Sony to not put some proprietary nonsense requirement into it. They for some reason can never just release a system and let the consumer use a micro SD card, or their own wireless earbuds.

Kudos to his accomplishments within Housemarque. I selfishly hope he starts a new studio that goes back to the twin stick shooter roots of Housemarque that made them so good.

Quite an accomplishment for this series with just 2 games to be sold 5 different times.

I enjoy the world and characters so I'll be playing it. The spinoffs I'm a bit less warm on. I liked strikers cause it felt like an actual sequel.

BG3 by far has the best odds. Would say AW2 could be wild card as 2nd best chance. If it's TOTK it would be ridiculous. The other 3 games don't have a chance.

Glad this is just a setting. Hate this trend of RPGs having level scaling. Completely removes one of the integral components of an RPG.

@mariomaster96 true. I was mainly counting Like a Dragon and of course Rebirth.

I never expected it to be this soon. So we got 3 giant RPGs from Japan to start the year.

@WolfyTn which is 95% of their player base.

But isn't the game still about shooting people with guns? Or are we replacing those with walkie talkies?

Probably should have held this game and released it around now. Not only do you avoid the loaded summer which clearly affected sales, but they could actually release a more finished product.

I thought I remember them saying they were gonna to make their next game with a much smaller scope. Which I feel is smart. Let's your team work on something and get it out the door in a quicker time, but also doesn't force the pressure on you that so many developer have had over the years to follow up a masterpiece.
