@Grumblevolcano @freddquadros @charbtronic @johncalmc @Ashina @darkswabber I'm hopeful for a 2026 release, with the announcement happening in September.

Why then? Tokyo Game Show of course, and Nintendo also usually has a Sept Direct (they skipped 2024 becuz Switch 2 prep).

There's plenty of past history of new FF games or remakes/remasters being announced during Nintendo Directs.

I haven't played anything yet this weekend, but I did recently platinum Wolfenstein: The New Order.

I want to return to Final Fantasy IX, but the "Impress the Nobles" minigame is driving me nuts.

You need a perfect 100/100 rating to help towards earning a trophy, but I suck at rhythm minigames.

@Darude84 Ok thanks for explaining.

I wish I had time to play either Dying Light 2 or Remnant 2, but I haven't even played their first games yet.

Oh well, back to playing Wolfenstein: The New Order, I'm having alot of fun killing Nazis.

@Darude84 Alan Wake Trilogy? What third game is there, besides the AW1 DLC and the Control game + it's Alan Wake DLC?

I know there's also American Nightmare, but it's still a Xbox/PC exclusive last I checked.

I restarted my playthrough of The Plucky Squire (PS5), after finally platinuming and 100%ing Bloodborne (PS4).

After I plat The Plucky Squire, I plan on replaying Final Fantasy IX (PS4) and finally playing Night in the Woods (PS4).

I'm looking forward to playing these 15 games, will buy them during big sales in a few years.

@freddquadros I'll get to them eventually, trying to play games in my massive backlog in release date order.

I was playing thru 2014 games, but then took a break to try some more recent games like The Plucky Squire, The Last of Us: Part II, and PowerWash Simulator.

@freddquadros I've also not bought Shadows yet, waiting for the usual 75% off sale for the Complete Edition with all DLC included.

So probably 2026-27, which is fine with me. I still need to play Rogue thru Valhalla, just too many games in my backlog...

I really truly hope we get a new Kingdom Hearts IV trailer at Summer Game Fest.

If not then, there's always Tokyo Game Show, The Game Awards, or Jump Festa.

@themightyant I'm not worried about spoilers, I avoid websites and servers that would discuss them.

Also I used to have a full time job for 6 years, just having trouble finding a new one.

@themightyant @Balie3000 I can definitely see this being a GOTY 2025 nominee at The Game Awards 2025.

Sadly I won't be playing it for years, no money and working on a massive backlog.

This just reaffirms my decision to stop pre-ordering/buying day one.

I do feel sorry for my gamer friends that will now be paying higher costs.

I'll be happily adding ARK: Survival Ascended, dinosaurs go RAWR!

I refuse to ever pay $80 for Mario Kart World, I shall wait for a rare 50% off sale in 5 to 8 years.

If this is true, I'll be happily adding it to my PS+ game backlog in May.

That said though, I still plan to play thru and platinum the original PS4 game release first.

@S1ayeR74 HBO renewed the Last of Us for Season 3, since Part II (the game) was really long.

Season 2 will cover the first half of TLOU2, and Season 3 will cover the 2nd/final half.

I've been playing The Last of Us: Part II for the first time ever, via the PS5 Remaster.

Just platinumed it recently, and I also finished my 2nd run on Permadeath too.

After I beat it for a 3rd time on Grounded NG+, I'll replay TLOU1 (PS4) & play Part I (PS5).

@NathanKang I'm also shocked we still don't have remasters or remakes of the inFAMOUS series.

I get that Sucker Punch has been busy with Ghost of Yotei, but another studio could easily handle the inFAMOUS remasters/remakes etc.

@FinneasGH Days Gone Remastered should be dirt cheap eventually in a few years, or you could buy a used/pre-owned copy of the PS4 version.

I'm only looking forward to Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 2, though I will check out both War of the Monsters and Alone in the Dark 2

I'm so freaking happy, this game has finally escaped Switch exclusivity.

Nothing yet, but I'll hopefully platinum Tales of Kenzera: Zau (PS5) at least.

After that it's back to playing thru The Last of Us: Part II Remastered (PS5), I'm almost done with the first massive Seattle area.

@MidnightDragonDX I've never played an Elder Scrolls game before, is this a good entry point?

@UltimateOtaku91 All of this basically, there's always pros and cons.

That said, I will be boycotting/protesting the Nintendo Switch 2 console for 3-4 years at the very least.

I also refuse to pay for $80+ Switch 2 games, that's just plain corporate greed in my opinion.

@KundaliniRising333 I will be boycotting/protesting the Nintendo Switch 2 console for 3-4 years at the very least.

I've got a massive PS5/PS4 game backlog, I'm in no hurry to inflate my already giant collection.

I also refuse to pay for $80+ Switch 2 games, that's just plain corporate greed in my opinion.

I'm hoping it's the new anime at the very least.

@LiamCroft Do we have any confirmation of whether this will be live-action or animated?

I'd much prefer an animated Horizon series.

I'll NEVER pay $80 for a video game, I'd rather wait for hefty discounts or worse case miss out.

My time AND money both matter to me, not one or the other. Especially since I'm broke currently, lost my job in 2024.

We're probably gonna get a new trailer drop soon, with more to see at the rumored May 2025 State of Play/Showcase.

@rusty82 I do agree with you, Astro Bot never "speaks" and his games don't have much real stories/plots.

If anyone can pull it off though, it's definitely Sony. I loved both the Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted films, as well as The Last of Us tv show on Max.

If I had to pay to see "A MineCraft Movie", I'd never watch it.

Thankfully I still have Regal Unlimited, so I'll probably watch it for dumb laughs this weekend.

Either that or wait for it to land on a streaming app for "free".

@johncalmc @Bri-Die @Nem @ThomasHL @Oram77 @pyrrhic_victory @Nightcrawler71 All of this! I heavily dislike weapon durability, it's extra unnecessary padding and takes away from the overall gaming experience.

It's partly why I still haven't played Zelda BOTW or TOTK, despite owning them both for many years.

@UltimateOtaku91 Exactly this, I'm primarily a PS5 gamer when it comes to the bulk of my gaming.

I only use Nintendo consoles/handhelds for their 1st party exclusives, like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Pokemon etc.

@UltimateOtaku91 @Member_the_game Same thoughts here, I'm primarily a PS5 gamer.

I only use my Nintendo devices for their 1st party exclusives, like Mario, Zelda, Metroid, and Pokemon etc.

@Netret0120 I couldn't have said it any better, those 3 factors matter alot more to a video game than graphics.

Also really good story and gameplay helps too. I'm a sucker for offline single player games, with strong narratives and combat.

I'll watch their reaction video later, but I'm happy to see Shuhei Yoshida is still lively and doing ok.

I stopped pre-ordering/paying full price back in 2023, now I patiently wait for dirt cheap sales in a few years.

Also helps I am currently unemployed and broke, so don't have the money to waste on full priced games anyway...

@freddquadros I'll definitely consider it, my old PushSquare bud.

I'd much rather have a free game please, 5 days of PS+ is pointless when I'm subscribed thru April 2027.

I'm relieved to hear it's like Hades 1's timed exclusivity. I still need to play it though...

Damn, if only the Switch 2 was that price in the USA.

I wish it had more RAM and Storage + WiFi 7 & Bluetooth 5.1 support, but otherwise I can't complain.

As for the lag in the Switch 2 Direct, most likely they didn't have a strong internet connection.

Not that it affects me, I always play offline single player games. I only require the internet to download games and patches/updates, and also obtain trophies.

I'm still waiting for this to drop on PlayStation Plus Essentials, it'll happen eventually mark my words.

I won't be playing any of the third party ports on the Switch 2, that's what I have my PS5 for.

I only care about Nintendo's exclusives like Mario, Zelda, or Pokemon etc, nothing else!

It'll always be a secondary console, and I refuse to pay the $450 USD ($500 with Mario Kart World).

I'll wait for a rare dirt cheap sale in a few years, keeping an eye on Wario64, Slickdeals, and SwitchDeals/ConsoleDeals subreddits.

On the bright side though, I AM happy it's 4K @ 60 fps docked or 1080p @ 120 fps in handheld mode.

@Icey664 @AdamNovice I'm also expecting a new trailer soon, maybe during TGA 2025 with a Fall 2026 release?
