I'm happy for the other fans that are caught up! I'm still at the very beginning of Assassin's Creed III, dunno when I'll have the time to catch up sadly.
@Scottyy I'd rather the entire story just be in the full game at launch, story DLC is not needed.
@theMEGAniggle @tameshiyaku We'll definitely see Wolverine at the very least, as a story setup/tease for his own spinoff game. Insomniac is also working on that too.
@Samholy I'm planning to re-watch Across the Spiderverse next week or the week after, can't wait!
@TheCollector316 PushSquare was referring to the pre-order bonus suits, they can still be obtained thru normal story progression.
The Digital Deluxe suits can only be obtained via buying the Digital Deluxe Edition or upgrading the Standard Edition via the Digital Deluxe upgrade DLC.
@themightyant I've only played the beginning of Fallout 3's prologue, so not much of a Bethesda fan/in a hurry to play Starfield.
Especially when it seems to be a fusion of No Man's Sky and Skyrim. (NMS looks boring to me sorry)
@Scottyy I completely understand your dilemma! Not the end of the world if we take the time to beat Alan Wake 2 first, I doubt Spidey 2 spoilers will be that rampant online.
Though the safer thing would be to wait for Spidey 2 and play thru that first, since I doubt as many people will be playing AW2 and possibly spoilering it.
Same here, I really enjoyed Summer Games Fest! I'm looking forward to playing the following games.
Pre-Orders/Day 1 Buys Alan Wake II (PS5) - October 17, 2023 Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (PS5) - October 20, 2023 Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (PS5) - January 18, 2024 Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth (PS5) - Early 2024 Sand Land (PS5) - TBA

@Matroska Tetsuya Nomura was only the director for Remake, Rebirth is being directed by Naoki Hamaguchi.
@Ralizah If you're lucky, maybe they'll sell the PS5 by itself for $450 Disc/$350 Digital, or a discounted bundle for $500 Disc/$400 Digital?
@Darude84 I'm unsure if you saw @dancingstar93's reply, but Rebirth is only Part 2 of 3. There will be one more remake game after Rebirth, it's a trilogy.
@BossBE We don't know yet at this time. I'm hoping it's Unreal Engine 5.
@freddquadros I know exactly how you feel sorta! Original FF7 was my very first JRPG, awoke my inner anime nerd.
@Pusher2021 @cburg @Scottyy @Shstrick @Westernwolf4 October is hella packed, as pointed out by @themightyant
Some of us will have to pick and choose what they buy at full price, myself included.
I'll be buying Alan Wake 2 and Spider-Man 2, everything else can wait for sales/discounts. I'm still on Assassin's Creed 3, and I haven't played the Alone in the Dark series or the first Lords of the Fallen game.
@Fizza Correct, but we didn't know the actual release day until now!
@BladeBK I never once said that FF7 Rebirth was a 1st party exclusive. I do know that it's a 3rd party game developed by the 3rd party studio Square-Enix.
I was replying to ColdHandGee's comment about that we should be done with PS4 exclusives soon.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1's PS5 Character Intros Are Unbelievably Awesome
@get2sammyb @Splat I could see them releasing Injustice 3 by 2025, or at the very least an announcement.
I'm basing this on Injustice 1, Injustice 2, and the animated film all releasing 4 years apart from each other.
Injustice: Gods Among Us - April 16, 2013
Injustice 2 - May 16, 2017
Injustice (Animated Film) - October 19, 2021
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 480
I ended up not playing anything sadly, and today I'll be focusing on movie catchup in theaters.
Next week on Monday and Tuesday though, I plan to sink some serious hours into Hogwarts Legacy. Or maybe fire up Tchia?
Re: Preview: Alan Wake 2 Will Be an Investigative Dream
@NeonTiger I'd rather have AC Mirage or Spidey 2 be delayed, since October is the perfect month for Alan Wake 2 theme wise.
@GamingFan4Lyf @starbuck2212 @RudeAnimat0r @Hamst88 @Fuzzymonkeyfunk @ApostateMage
Also really excited to finally play the sequel! I haven't pre-ordered it yet though, I like to wait until a week before.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2's Open World Is Around Four Times the Size of the First Game's
@sonicmeerkat @moneycashdane @2here2there 100% agreed, I don't wanna have to waste so much time running everywhere.
@CKFilms I've owned the first game for many years, just barely left the first town got bored and stopped.
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage PS5, PS4 Includes a Desaturated Graphics Filter to Match the Look of the Original
I'm happy for the other fans that are caught up! I'm still at the very beginning of Assassin's Creed III, dunno when I'll have the time to catch up sadly.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Street Fighter 6?
@QualityGeezer Same plan here, there will always be a complete package bundle with all Character DLC.
Not to mention the fact I'm terrible at fighting games haha! I'll probably just watch someone else play it even if I do buy the game.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Wild Range of Suits Includes Stunning Original Designs

Re: Tekken 8 Closed Beta Test Confirmed for PS5, and You Need to Register Quick
@Blofse I'm honestly thinking a Spring or Summer 2024 release.
The fact that we're only just now getting a Beta is not a good sign for a 2023 full release happening...
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's PS5 Trailer Compared to PS1 Original
@eltomo I wouldn't want to live in such a reality/universe.
@Kienda I could definitely see them trying to pull at our heart strings with some nostalgia.
Re: Sony Will Not Attend Giant German Convention Gamescom This Year
@KaijuKaiser What are the other two first party exclusives releasing in the next 9 months? I know Spidey 2 is releasing October 20.
Wolverine, Death Stranding 2, and Horizon 3 haven't been dated yet. Nor do we know what exact games the other studios are even working on.
Also timed 3rd party exclusives like FF7 Rebirth don't count imo.
Re: Friday the 13th: The Game Will Hang Up Its Hockey Mask As It's Axed from PS Store
@Ssimsim Wait there was a lawsuit? What was it over/about?
@Stocksy @Don Sadly multiplayer horror games are much more profitable for the companies, all they care about is their pockets.
Re: Persona 5 Tactica Launches 17th November, Persona 3 Reload Early 2024
I'll get both games when they're $20 New or free with PS+, I don't trust Atlus.
I can totally see them re-releasing Persona 3 Reload at full price with all of the missing P3P and FES content (Female Character and The Answer DLC).
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Finally Has a Release Date on PS5

Re: Shadows of the Damned, the Forgotten PS3 Shooter, Is Getting a Remaster
@Loamy Oh the franchise is dead and buried. The creator can't do anything since EA fully owns the rights.

Re: Try Not to Cringe Over Twisted Metal's Television Show
@soracloud28 @LimitedPower @GamingFan4Lyf @theMEGAniggle @SeanOhOgain @Shepherd_Tallon @swagbag7
Yeah I don't get the hate, never considered the games to have a serious storyline/plot.
Always knew the TV series would be off the walls random and crazy.
Re: Dating Action Game Eternights Makes the Most Out of the Apocalypse on PS5, PS4
Normally I wouldn't be interested, but something about this game has drawn my attention.
Re: Chicory Team Is Making a Turn-Based RPG Called Beastieball
@Totheteeth What's wrong with them? They look like completely normal people to me.
Re: Star-Crossed Lovers Battle the Supernatural in Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden on PS5
Game looks great for DONTNOD, but will need to see more before I can make a decision.
Re: Soulslike Sequel Remnant 2 Gets Bombastic Co-Op Gameplay Trailer
I still need to play thru the first game, but the sequel is definitely on my radar.
Re: Harry Potter, The Patriot Antagonist Rules Baldur's Gate 3 with an Iron Fist
Trailer was fun, but don't see myself ever playing the game.
Re: Baby Steps Is the Weirdest PS5 Game You'll See Today
@get2sammyb Do we knew the identity of the developer for this game?
Re: Shadows of the Damned, the Forgotten PS3 Shooter, Is Getting a Remaster
@DETfaninATL Alice: Madness Returns remaster or remake is unlikely, due to EA denying the creator from releasing a 3rd Alice game.
Re: Shadows of the Damned, the Forgotten PS3 Shooter, Is Getting a Remaster
@AsterZero @Fiendish-Beaver @EVIL-C @AlienigenX @Loamy @playstation1995 @IndoorEnthusiast @Suda51ueda
Same opinion as all of you! I lost my mind when this dropped before the Devolver Direct happened.
Fingers crossed we won't have to wait long for the release, maybe Early 2024?
Re: Nicolas Cage Survives Dead by Daylight on PS5, PS4 from 25th July
@Ryne-Gaia Nicholas Cage is right up there with Keanu for me.
Also Ryan Reynolds too, he can do no wrong far as I'm concerned.
Re: Chicory Team Is Making a Turn-Based RPG Called Beastieball
@Totheteeth Embarrassing how so? The game looks like alot of fun!
Re: Alan Wake 2 Drops Jaws with Mind Blowing First PS5 Gameplay Footage
I was seriously impressed by the gameplay, definitely going to be pre-ordering Alan Wake II.
@arsmolinarc If you're referring to the Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes, I wouldn't expect news on them until sometime next year.
Re: John Carpenter's Toxic Commando Is a Co-Op Shooter About Characters Who Can't Sing
If I can play this in single player without much difficulty, I'll consider trying it out at some point.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Will Ship on Two PS5 Discs, Square Enix Proudly Points Out
@Snake_V5 I believe so yes! PS4 era I know both RDR2 and FF7 Remake were on 2 discs each.
Re: Ryu, Guile Get Exoprimal Makeovers for Street Fighter 6's First Capcom Collaboration DLC
This was really surprising to see during the showcase.
Re: Honkai: Star Rail, HoYoverse's Gacha Sensation, Shows First PS5 Footage
@Ryne-Gaia @ThomasHL At least we did finally get a release window. Better than nothing.
Re: Tricked Out Magic FPS Immortals of Aveum Makes One Final Push for PS5 Launch
Bargain bin sale for me, or wait for PS+. I just don't trust their marketing.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Pre-Orders Begin 16th June, Various Editions Detailed
Insomniac confirmed a standalone digital deluxe upgrade path, so I'll be just pre-ordering the physical Standard Edition.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Gets PS5 Gameplay as Early 2024 Release Window Is Confirmed
@Matroska Tetsuya Nomura was only the director for Remake, Rebirth is being directed by Naoki Hamaguchi.
@Ralizah If you're lucky, maybe they'll sell the PS5 by itself for $450 Disc/$350 Digital, or a discounted bundle for $500 Disc/$400 Digital?
@Darude84 I'm unsure if you saw @dancingstar93's reply, but Rebirth is only Part 2 of 3. There will be one more remake game after Rebirth, it's a trilogy.
@BossBE We don't know yet at this time. I'm hoping it's Unreal Engine 5.

Re: Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name Launches 9th November
I still haven't played thru the LAD franchise yet (besides playing a small chunk of Judgment 1).
Looking forward to trying this out in a few years thru PS+ or a dirt cheap sale.

Re: Dragon Ball Creator's Sand Land Is Getting a PS5, PS4 Game
@somnambulance @shonenjump86 @Matroska I can't remember if I've read the manga before.
However I absolutely love anything involving Akira Toriyama, so I'll def pick up this game at some point.
Re: Sonic Superstars Is a New Spin on 2D Hedgehog Action, Hits PS5, PS4 in 2023
Now this was quite a happy surprise! I look forward to getting this in a few years for dirt cheap or free with PS+.
@RogerRoger Actual GOOD Sonic games too! So I've been told anyways, have yet to play any of them.
Re: Bloodborne-Style Action RPG Lies of P Launches 19th September, Download Demo for PS5, PS4 Now
I'm still terrible at playing Souls-like games, so definitely won't be buying this at full price.
That aside, loved the new trailer and gameplay! Looking forward to playing this in a few years when it's dirt cheap or free with PS+.
Re: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Announced for PS5, PS4, More Info at Ubisoft Forward
Gameplay for this new spinoff looked like fun, though I have no clue where this takes place timeline wise.
I look forward to buying it for dirt cheap in a few year, or getting for free with PS+.
If I were a bigger PoP fan and had beaten the other games, I'd be more excited since it's releasing on my birthday.
Re: Mortal Kombat 1's Breathtaking First PS5 Footage Stains Summer Game Fest
Gameplay was amazing! I still don't see myself paying full price though, will wait a few years until it's dirt cheap or free with PS+.
Re: Here's the Stellar Lineup You Can Expect at Capcom Showcase Next Week
@Beerheadgamer82 @pyrrhic_victory @Damage99 @AndyKazama "as well as a few other updates!"
I could see them doing a "one last thing" and revealing Pragmata again, this time with a solid release date.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Is a PS5 Exclusive to Ensure 'Comfortable' Travel Across a 'Vast World'

I was replying to ColdHandGee's comment about that we should be done with PS4 exclusives soon.
Re: Animalistic Roguelite AK-xolotl Lets You Weaponise Your Offspring on PS5, PS4
Still no solid date? Very odd.
Re: Sony Will Celebrate Horror Series Siren's 20th Anniversary, Raising Hopes of a PS5 Revival
I could see them doing a remake that's also a sequel maybe?
I'd also just be happy with the trilogy being remastered.
Re: Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Publisher Is Refunding All Physical PS5, PS4 Pre-Orders
Kudos to them for offering refunds, though someone prob did force their hands.
Re: Square Enix Doesn't Think You've Seen Enough Final Fantasy 16 PS5 Gameplay
@Nepp67 Same plan here, I'm trying to go into the game as blind as possible.
I can't wait until it's released so the marketing for it will die down.
Re: Persona 3 Remake Rumours Intensify Yet Again with Updated Web Domain
@Rmg0731 @UltimateOtaku91 @Tzara I highly doubt that Persona 3 remake would be a Xbox exclusive.
I do agree that it'll be revealed at the Xbox showcase this Sunday though, with a 1-2 day window before Sony can confirm it's coming there too.
