"original, single player-centric, and gameplay focused"
Was almost sold before now I'm super sold! Didn't think between this and Rise of the Ronin that Stellar Blade might be the better received game, hopefully after the first two hours the game gets even better!
I always say we don't have enough Marvel games in the industry, finally that's being remedied! Hopefully Santa Monica, Naughty Dog, Guerrilla Games, Sucker Punch, Bend Studio, Team ASOBI and a resurrected Japan Studio are all working on their own Marvel games! π€π€
Can we drop the PS4 first? We have been saying that since Ragnarok to just focus exclusively on the PS5. With that out of the way I will definitely be there day one, love the feeling of opening new hardware!
Sony needs to go all in on the handheld space and probably abandon VR (they unofficially have!). They got their feet wet with the Portal now make something that can go head to head with Switch, Steam Deck and Rog ally.
"It looks disappointingly poor, more like an early PS4 game than the latest PS5 hardware seller."
So they had the full power of the PS5 at their disposal and they couldn't even make it look as good as Killzone Shadow fall π Well next up Stellar Blade here's hoping for better results!
Looks fantastic! the particle effects and details actually look this gen, the people saying this is low budget trash didn't actually see the gameplay trailer. There's clearly allot of love being put into this, will be a day one purchase for me.
I was interested but the price and the fact Sony basically pulled support after making one game for it has turned me off completely. The Virtual Boy, 32X and PS Vita had way (wayyyy) more first party support then the PSVR2 will ever have!
Bloodborne would have easily clear the entire list, especially on Twitter (still calling it that!). It's gaming malpractice that they didn't even add a 60fps patch that probably would have taken a couple of PlayStation interns a day at most.
@__jamiie "Would a game having an incomplete trophy list stop you from buying the game?"
In this case the PS4 version is complete so I will stick with that version, is not like they are very demanding games that need 4K 120fps. If there was only a PS5 version without the platinums I would just wait for a sale.
What a fall from grace, once upon a time when you saw the Atlus logo you knew that it was an automatic day one. Now when I see the logo I roll my eyes and then whatever game it is I know I will get it in 1-2 years if they catch me in a good mood π€·
Wait the people on Gamepass get this for free!? So basically everyone on PlayStation is Atlus's pay pig and we get to subsidize Xbox owners? Sega can no longer hide the contempt they have for Sony ever since the Dreamcast.
Haven Studios is good candidate for shutting down, their game got the same reaction that Suicide Squad got and that game is basically dead and buried after a little over a month.
No thanks Sega I will wait for a complete edition at a reduced price, I have all the time in the world and plenty of great games to play while I wait π
I want the game but I need either stable 60 or at least stable 30! I wonder why Capcom has had trouble with this game's performance when it doesn't look even remotely close graphically to Village or RE4 and they killed it with those games.
The guy is beyond delusional and should be in an Asylum (probably the Arkham one). He's really looking at what Fortnite makes and thinks "hey we can do that too but better!"
Definitely made my day, I hope the PC guys flock to it I want it to sell as much as possible. Weird they didn't start with the first one but I'll take what I can get!
@Frmknst You can add Japan Studio to that most creative list but like Media Molecule their games didn't sell 10 million copies but at the same time their games didn't cost 250 million to make π€·
Sony needs to have studio's that can make smaller games, don't quote me on this but I saw it somewhere that Miles Morales has been more profitable for Sony than Spider-Man 2. I don't know if that's true but I don't think is sustainable for Sony to spend 200+ million on every game.
@danzoEX "popularity will help them decide if they should make an OLED model"
No they need to follow it up with a Hybrid portable! I hope they learn what they need to learn from the device but come next gen they don't want to be the only one from the big three to not have a Hybrid console.
People like comparing it to the Vita but that system had way more support and first party games than PSVR2 will ever have. This is the fastest Sony has pull support for hardware, it didn't even make it a year before Sony pulled the plug.
@naruball Oh I'm a giant Vita fan too, it is a jrpg farm but yeah third parties came through for the system as well as the Jailbreak scene. My beef is with Sony itself for whatever reason just abandoning the PSVR2 when it has so much potential, I will definitely get it when the price comes down a bit
Sure I'm interested but I'm not willing to spend that much on hardware that's been abandoned completely by Sony. It's already Vita 2.0 in that it's only eating off the generosity of third party studios.
I'm very happy about this it means they can move on as fast as possible to something else! That's assuming they make it through this, I know this current leadership of WB has zero tolerance for failure so this could be the end of Rocksteady.
Surprisingly is very well priced, I just bought it! I will continue to buy all the Xbox games they bring over as long as they aren't complete garbage (looking at you Redfall π)
@sop "What PSVR2 players want is to play Half-Life Alyx on Playstation, not to use the PSVR2 headset to play it on PC."
Yeah that comment made no sense, if you already have a PC then you can play Alyx right now and have like 5 VR options to do it. Why would I be waiting for PSVR2?
@get2sammyb Would Sony port that game to PC though? Demons Souls remake was a launch title and that has no signs of going anywhere despite almost everything after being ported.
@GeminiReign No one is asking why because no cares why. Is irrelevant to me if Microsoft is not making money from GP so they have to try and make money from PlayStation owners, I'll take whatever road gets me to eventually play Halo and Gears on my PlayStation π€·
Again if you potentially want to see Halo, Gears and maybe Killer Instinct (π€) in the future you have to show Microsoft that this is going to be worth their time and effort. If all these games sell like crap I'm sure they'll pull the plug immediately and be like "well this was a giant waste of our time"
Well if we want a chance at other higher profile Xbox games is in our best interests to show Microsoft that there's money to be made here. I will be buying it day one as the game itself is also great.
Would rather wait for Sea of Thieves if I needed a pirate fix. Besides I find it more interesting playing as a pirate than playing as a pirate ship π€·
More cheap asymmetrical horror IP garbage π (the movie is a blast, the genre is what's garbage). I would love if one day we were to get a single player game like Alien: Isolation but with Freddy or Michael.
The sad part is that there's probably someone at this very moment making a It and Child's Play asymmetrical multiplayer game because they could be made with pennies found inside the couch.
@MFTWrecks Xbox's next gen system looks to be a Switch competitor so for PlayStation's sake I hope they are looking in that direction, otherwise their system will be the only stuck on people's home. Is the only possible way that Xbox would have a chance to take second place in Japan.
How the hell did you bring Swift into a Helldiver's 2 article π also not sure what Sammy Barker did to you that you are calling him out like that π
Well it is technically a live service game so It would benefit from having access to as much players as possible. That said I would personally want something bigger in return from Xbox besides those four niche games.
Good! Any game that beats Bungie in anything I consider a giant win! Bungie needs to be brought down to earth with the rest of us and also perhaps Sony should put Arrowhead in charge of their live service games if they acquire them.
Nope it looks like boredom in it's purest form and besides even if I was slightly interested it has a Ubisoft logo so it will be half off in a couple of weeks.
Not interested in any of those games in the slightest but I hope they do extremely well so that Microsoft brings over the real juicy stuff in their catalogπ€
Killer Instinct not even making the top 20 depresses me beyond words βΉοΈ Microsoft has a top tier fighting game franchise and just let it die (like many other of their IPs) and rot to the point that people forgot it even exists.
If even Sony wouldn't refer to any of it's first party games as "AAAA" what make this guy think his crappy pirate game deserves that moniker? I hope it flops harder than Babylon's Fall, Mr. Guillemot needs to be brought down to earth with the rest of us
Well first of all I want Killer 1 & 2 plus the remake followed by all the Bungie made Halo, Both Perfect Dark games, All the Gears games, Fusion Frenzy, all the 360 exclusive Jrpgs and many others!
Yes I should have gotten a Series console by now but I was actually planning to get the X this year, now though I'm going to wait and see how this all turns out because if I have the chance to play everything in one console I will
There's plenty of Xbox games I would pay full price for like Rare Replay, Halo Collection, Killer Instinct and the Gears games to name a few so the selfish me is hoping this is true. That said I have no interest in Starfield whatsoever, even if it was a PS Plus free game I wouldn't play it π
@Dman10 Heck I would settle for very cheap vanilla remasters of the first two Viewtiful Joe games and they can throw in Red Hot Rumble just for funsies
I would lose it if Killer Instinct (original and/or remake) makes the jump, I have been contemplating getting an Xbox for years just for that series so bring it over here Phil!
I'll take anything that isn't tlou or Uncharted... well and live service because we have so much evidence now that it's a disaster when single player studios try to go the live service route (BioWare, Platinum Games, Crystal Dynamics, Rocksteady π)
