If they don't make a game where Bancho's origin is that he's Rza from Wu-Tang Clan, then they will never get my money! I swear that's all I see when I play that game lol

I only every played KZ3 and Shadow Fall. KZ3 was a fun game but I never liked the multiplayer and I've tried finishing Shadow Fall 3 times now and just can't keep the momentum. They were okay at best.
Horizon, on the other hand, had one of the best stories (at least the first game) and was really fun... and then FW released. I just didn't enjoy the story direction. It became incredibly predictable and they should have focused on Sylen's and Hades more instead of bringing some half-baked idea of immortal billionaires returning to rob them of their resources and being insane because of their hubris.
Not to mention all the contemporary political agenda parallels.I am tired of that in games. I just want to escape from the world's problems for a little while, not be further immersed in them in some fake world.
Also, give a proper ending to stories! Stop dragging them out. Be more like Breaking Bad.

Would love to have a Tron game as an rpg. Think the setting would be perfect!

Would love to see a gameplay trailer!

If they could capture the first Halo's novelty and the Halo 2's multiplayer, I would definitely buy! I just don't want a remake or remaster. Focus on the story and make it co-op!

Can't wait for it to be announced as the next big GaaS that will revolutionize the industry.

This has to be one of the most pointless articles ever written!

Type A and Type B?!?! At least you have people speaking out against the subtle changes (that are indicative of a larger problem) that mass delusions (read altruism) have caused.

His wording is ambiguous (at least what is reported in the article). Is this a remaster, a remake, or a new istallation?

@get2sammyb this may be true but as a journalist you know better than anyone that "the headline is the story" in this click-bait drudgery we are all living in and you are feeding. Two comments above your reply is a user who is calling Mr. Spencer an imbecile, which is maybe a joke but probably because he didn't read your article, only the headline.

I'm worried about this if it translates into new games. Jin's story felt complete and actually had closure to it. If they have spin-off material in the form of different medias, like the article said, then I am all for it, but I get an uneasy feeling that they will be "milking" it for the wrong reasons if it's a game. I trust Sucker Punch but it still worries me.

There isn't a single game on here that I am excited about, half I haven't heard of (no surprise there since this a TOKYO game show and not aiming at western audiences). I fear I am losing my child-like joy for video games.

Is Endymion, the twitter screenshot, somebody in the industry or just a rando on the internet? If he isn't someone in the industry then writing an article using him as an example is just as sad as the whining over "girlboss" games. Just feeding the hysteria surrounding the yay and nay sayers.

This game is still in my cart on PSN. Hoping it goes on sale soon so I can add it to my backlog. I'm currently like 3 years behind the release schedules. I really hate being a responsible adult sometimes haha

With the amount of debate happening in the comments and all the "fact" throwing, I want to suggest that everyone start linking their citations as to provide proof and ease of research for the rest of us lmao

And the despairing decline of the industry continues.

Remasters are the contemporary bane of the video game industry. They have become way too common and they are not producing returns that justify the time/resources spent making them. Publishers are using them as a metric (a poorly chosen one) for interest in the next addition to the series or genre, but are failing to realize that nostalgia does not translate to a desire for a new installment and vice versa.
If developers can keep their games/IP from being owned by a publicly traded company, the better.

@Sergo I mean, they already are branded as the bad guy by a lot of people. Might as well lean into it where it is beneficial. Full disclosure, I haven't played Destiny since the first one was released so I have no true idea of the state of the game outside of reading articles. Seems to be a sh*t show from everything I've read.

I just don't understand why they don't buff everything!? It's not a PvP game so it would make this massively more fun (still amazingly fun as is) if I can start changing loadouts and maul some bugs and bots with simple carnage inducing pleasure. Helldivers is one of my top games this year and it's been sad to see the community drag it down so much. Remember, this is a game Helldiver's community, it's fake in the end and just a good bit of fun.

@MikeOrator @playstation1995 this made me laugh way harder then it should have hahaha "so up your word...son"
The lack of spacing still drives me mad though.

I stopped playing Destiny after The Taken King was released. That's Destiny ONE. When they announced the year 3 expansion, Iron something, and offered the game brand new, with all expansions and a starting light level to skip the grind, for $60, after I already sunk $180 into the game, I gave it up. They didn't offer any of their loyal players who invested in the game anything but gave everything away to brand new players. Was absurd! That moment was what killed GaaS for me, back in 2015!

So, what you are telling me is to buy some stock soon and then sell it as AC Shadows is about to drop and then buy the dip again when it bombs??

@playstation1995 Bro!? You have got to use spacing after you end a sentence, and capitalization. I've seen your comments everywhere and the irrational anger I feel when reading them is bothering me lol Please, for the love of God, just add spacing!

Definitely my most anticipated game! I love turn based game play and the graphics are the icing. I love this!

@Sequel It caught my eye and then I said, "F**k that!" Didn't know this about myself, but not a fan of animal body horror haha I like being nightmare free. I bet it will be great, though!

@Blaze215 These are just the full games that were announced. There was a ton of little announcements for DLC, new indies, etc., that are not listed. Wasn't a bad show. The one announcement I really enjoyed that is related to games is a new show in the vein of Love, Death & Robots but for games (existing franchises, new releases, and classics.) It is actually by the people who created Love, Death & Robots so that will be fun.

@Savage_Joe I found that humorous (read shocking) as well. Considering that China outputs more harmful gases/pollution than any other country on the planet and have increased their output in direct violation to whatever that "authoritative" global summit, Paris something right, set as goals. Tencent was probably a generous donor to gamescon this year, especially their Asia show later in the year.

@Athrum Right?! There were several games that piques my interest. People have such absurd expectations today. Though it was a good show.

Talk about a blast from the past!! Loved Backyard Baseball and Soccer as a kid. Really really hope this makes a comeback because I have nieces and nephews at the perfect age for this!

@yazzika FLCL was immediately on my mind watching this! I'll definitely be keeping this game on my radar.

I have been hoping for a resurgence of this game for a long time. Looked amazingly interesting when announced, especially the part where you would control animals and be tasked to roam as them for a set time to unlock their "shaman" abilities. This could have been something great. I'm a little saddened at the news. A link to the gameplay reveal

So, I thought the premise was like desolate desert land/post-apocalyptic, not space-faring/otherworldly. Was already intrigued by this with the announcement trailer and even more so now! Will definitely be supporting this game! Also, I just watched the gameplay trailer and the song on there is absolutely amazing.

Though I don't want any developers to fail, I would thoroughly enjoy seeing re-releases and remasters of any video game absolutely bomb with everyone made. I believe it to be the bane of the industry. Thank God for the indie developers who still produce original games.

This article pushed me off the fence and into the "I'm buying" yard. I love Star Wars but with all the negative publicity for this game going around, I was feeling uncertain as the gameplay trailer was not enough to convince me. Though it won't be a day one buy for me, I'm just now getting around to Hogwarts and GoW: Ragnarok, it's definitely on the wishlist now! Thank you @liamcroft for the article.

@riceNpea Transistor is such a great game!! Though, I am uncertain if their combat system really compares to this? If so, then Dragon Age: Inquisition did the same. You didn't actually take turns attacking in Transistor, you merely had the option to pause action to set up attacks or you could do it in real time. If i recall correctly.

@Elodin yeah, I regret buying the discless version but I got it when it was next to impossible to find a PS5 so I jumped at the opportunity to own one. Can't justify buying another just to have discs but I also love bitching about all digital games not being "owned", so hypocrisy at its finest over here haha great thing is that No Man's Sky constantly goes on sale on PSN so I'll probably pick it up soon. Still have a backlog to get through.

It's a video game! Remember when they used to be escapes from the BS of life, now they are just another avenue to proclaim your self-righteousness and whine about contemporary politics. It's hard to find a game where there isn't some stupid Left/Right morality controversy using it as a platform. Why couldn't the Crowdstrike bug have destroyed gaming servers to save us from the idiocy, at least for a short time?!

I need to get this game for my PS5. I had it on my PS4 but bought the discless PS5 and can't play it anymore.

Helldivers 2 hooked me immediately but lately I haven't been able to play it much. Mainly due to responsibilities of the real world. I do hope they drop a new faction soon as that will give me a great "excuse" to put off my responsibilities for a much needed break. My friends and I still hop on when we can but they have little kids and summer time is here!

@trev666 Holy *****! I didn't know it was that expensive!? Why, they didn't improve much on the graphics or gameplay, that I could tell. Zero Dawn is one of my favorite all time games, was a bit disappointed in the West's story though.

This is definitely on my list! I'll be getting it on the Switch tho, as it has seen little action since I completed Zelda TotK. Man, the Nintendo Direct was fantastic! Looking forward to the new Zelda game as well! Sony needs to come out swinging with their Showcase later this year, cause Nintendo and Microsoft have crushed it.

Love this! Tactics games are so freaking fun usually, will def be getting this.

I mean, Inquisition was a colorful game! The landscapes were amazingly varied and colorful, as well as the characters. I get that the trailers tone was not in line with what we've come to expect but I didn't see anything wrong with the art style. Not to mention that it's a CGI trailer and not a gameplay trailer. I'll wait to see gameplay but I am concerned about the move to real time action. I loved the combat in Inquisition, but I know not everyone did.
This is also another example why developers/publishers need to have their initial trailer (not necessarily teaser) have real gameplay in it as to offset these kinds of reactions. I am certainly excited for this, even if the new name is dreadful?(hahahaha get it!?)

On the list after this trailer! Loved the CGI reveal trailer but wanted to see gameplay before deciding. This year looks to be shaping up quite nicely in the last half!

This looks fantastic! Miss the JRPG turn-based combat in games and this just blows me away. Will def be getting this!

Loving the vibe! Will keep an eye on this one.

@Pat_trick thanks for the breakdown. I whole heartedly agree with the take on Uncharted 4 even though I still enjoyed the game immensely, was just saddened that they joked about "ghost pirates". Felt like a back-handed comment to the previous 3.
As for Last of Us, I absolutely loved those games. There's some narrative directions that I don't think would actually be present in a world like that because who has time for social issues when humanity is all but extinct. Hardly detracts from the experience though.
Had no idea about the crunch or hollywood shill stuff. Haven't really cared to watch the show as I do not prefer show adaptations of games.
I do hope that the next game Naughty Dog does goes with a new creative director. His influence is too heavy on the atmosphere of ND games currently.

Is Ghost of Tsushima 2 an actual thing or is everybody hoping that Sucker Punch will give us a sequel? Personally, I would like to see them give us another new IP. GoT felt complete and giving a follow up would detract from the first. What I wouldn't give to get another Infamous!
Naughty Dog needs to announce a new IP as well. I feel they are putting too many eggs in the LoU basket. Don't really care for the video game show adaptations that are becoming big. Not that they aren't good it's just not my thing. I want to interact with those stories not be a bystander.
I have hopes that Concord can be another fresh injection to the GaaS genre after the absolute blast that Helldivers has been.

@Pat_trick what hate is everyone talking about? I don't really follow individual developers, just keep an eye on the industry and games, so a bit ignorant here.
I will say I am a bit salty towards Uncharted 4 since they decided to gut the most fun experience in that series, the supernatural twists towards the end. You could tell that Amy Hennig's direction was not followed after she left (imo).

I need to jump back in this game! I never upgraded to the PS5 version so it was left behind along with the PS4. Just too many good games that demand my attention but I bought No Man's Sky day one as it was a dream game!
