Huh...Definitely didn't have that game getting a sequel on my bingo card for the year.

I was actually going to skip Kiwami 3 mostly because the original 3 is probably my least favorite entry in the series but...after all the drama surrounding the story changes I must admit I'm curious enough that I might check it out after all. We'll see. My plate is kind of full at the moment on games.

Sounds pretty good but I think I'll wait for sale first. I forgot this was coming out this month with all the RE9 hype. Hope it does well enough.

I'm interested to see how it does. I can't say I'm the target audience really since I'm only into a little bit of Marvel stuff and I'm also not really into tag fighters for the most part but I know its a big deal to the fgc in general obviously.

That's too bad. I do like 2XKO but it's just so difficult to devote serious time to it over SF6. I only have so much time and if I have to pick one it's going to be SF6.

The fighting game space is tough indeed for newcomers.

I think it actually looks pretty good. I'm not usually into co-op forever type multiplayer games though so I don't think it's going to grab me in the end. It's just so difficult to grab a group together consistently. If I get an invite to the playtests then I'll give it a try at least.

It actually looks pretty good imo. I'm not the biggest fan of the art style but it isn't enough to dissuade me either. Combat looks fast and flashy in a fun way. I also like the various ways to play with the different scenarios. (One looks very Nightreign coded while another looks more Destiny raid based or something) My biggest holdup is really just trying to convince two other friends to try this with me as Horizon isn't as popular with my friend group.

We'll see. I like Horizon so I might give it a whirl.

Not sure yet how connected or not the two games are but the story for Tokyo was pretty good if not a bit formulaic. If you've played any of the Trails titles it's like that only with purely action combat instead of turn-based.

Looks great! The side-scrolling bits did throw me for a loop but not necessarily in a bad way. As a fan of the original I can't say the dungeon design was a highlight anyway so I'm fine with the change. Definitely on my list this year.

Makes sense. I'm still playing it on PS5 but good for anyone else that is interested on other platforms. This will definitely help it's chances of success over in Japan for sure.

That's a shame. I played both this and MK World and I'd say Crossworlds is much better actually. I still think MK8 is the best the genre has to offer but Crossworlds is really good.

Well that's exciting to hear! I liked Xanadu more than I expected when I played it a couple years ago so I'll definitely be excited to see how the sequel shapes up.

So long as it doesn't replace a more traditional controller then sure. Go for it. If this would be the standard controller though I would not be happy.

Freaking hooligans. Do you really got nothing better to do with your time!?

I think it looks okay but I just don't have the time to invest in another multiplayer game. SF6 and 2XKO just take up too much of my time.

I personally thought Rebirth looked incredible even on a base PS5 so I'm not bothered by this in the slightest. Maybe my eyes are getting bad in my old age but for the life of me I never did notice the issues people had with that game in terms of visuals.

Perfectly fine. I'm in no rush to replace my PS5. PS6 can wait.

It's too bad. I loved Watch Dogs 1 & 2. WD2 is honestly right up there with any GTA in my opinion. Legion didn't quite hit the mark but even then I respect that game for trying something unique with the whole recruit anyone mechanic.

A real shame. I really liked Watch Dogs a lot.

Very much appreciated. Really appreciate Ubisoft doing this for some of their legacy titles. Unity is amazing I'd absolutely play that again at 60fps.

It's absolutely insane that this survived while Sands of Time Remake died. That's just...that's just crazy.😂

Looking really great! Fable is certainly among my favorite Xbox games and this looks like it's capturing that spirit beautifully. I'm 100% looking forward to this!

I can't say I have faith in PoP at this point. Lost Crown was great but sold soft. Rogue PoP didn't really move the needle and Sands of Time remake felt like the last chance to pump some life into the franchise again only to be canceled.

Plus Ubisoft stated they are focused on open world and GaaS games, neither of which PoP fits into. I don't know. At best maybe the older titles end up on PS+ one day but the future looks bleak for PoP unless Ubisoft would consider selling the IP.

I'd love to be wrong though!

Well I'm all for delaying until something is ready...I just hope it actually comes out unlike Sands of Time.

I had a great first session with it today. It's a lot less stressful than SF6. 😅

It's very responsive and has a lot of depth if you dig into it. I also love the art style and the option to play on a team with a friend gives it a unique feel from most of the other games out there.

It does have some rough screen tearing though. Hopefully they clean that up with some updates. Overall though I'm happy with it.

Profound sadness. RIP Prince of Persia.

There is not any single player content here outside of a training room. Perhaps they might add something down the line since it is a live service but at the moment if you are looking for single player fighting game content it isn't here.

I tried to hop in yesterday but the servers were down. Hopefully I'll get a chance to play it today.

Can't say I agree with him at all. The example he used doesn't really hold any water. Anthem was a big sidestep away from anything Bioware has ever been known for. Heck the marketing pitch for Dragon Age The Veilguard was "Bioware is going back to what they do best!"(didn't stick the landing there but that's a different topic for another day) You don't use that as your marketing pitch if the thing you did prior was in line with your studios identity.

Anthem was as far away from what people like about Bioware games as it gets.

Ubisoft certainly isn't perfect but they are definitely better than some folks make them out to be. This is much appreciated. I might have to fire up Far Cry 3 again for this!

I started with Cold Steel after finishing Persona 5 and looking for a similar experience.

Fast forward to now and Trails is easily one of my favorite series out there. Crazy that we are finally caught up with Japan but here we are!

A big thank you from myself to everyone involved in getting this series localized and caught up. A herculean task indeed but it paid off!

Looking forward to starting Horizon!

And nothing of value was lost. Good stuff Playstation.

@CielloArc @GirlVersusGame
Ah I see now. Thanks for clearing that up.

I wonder what caused them to put this out randomly. Not that I don't support the cause of course.

Ouch. This sucks. Say what you will about Facebook but they actually did a pretty good job making Quest one of the few success stories in VR. I guess it wasn't successful enough though sadly. A real shame. There's is some great stuff on Quest 3.

I wasn't too keen on the direction it was heading in since I also am not much of a Destiny fan either but I decided to at least give the beta/demo a shot simply because I was that big of a fan of Bioware.

I knew there was something very wrong from that small taste alone. Just didn't like it at all really.

I would say it sadly deserved the hate it got. This game is basically the catalyst for sending Bioware into the tough position they currently find themselves in. Just thinking about this game makes me sad.☹️

I really hope Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter makes a huge splash for the series. It's my personal favorite of the series and the remake for 1st Chapter is so good. I'm really confident it will be very good indeed.

We've crossed the line since Halo and Gears are on PS5 now. There isn't any shock with this sort of thing anymore. At best, some games might be timed Xbox exclusive like Forza 6 but that's it. Still though, nice to see. I loved Fable 1.

Never thought I'd see the day where I wouldn't be shocked but here we are. Times change!

I never was much of an Alex fan anyway so to me he's just showing his true colors.🤣

Looking forward to seeing how he plays though.

Can't wait to play it! I'm still working on Sky remake though. I might put it on hold for a bit since I already know the story. Very excited for Horizon!

Maybe I'm wrong but personally, if curation made so I couldn't buy slop like this or that Life of Black Tiger game, I don't think I'd mind.😄

A proper curated store would be nice. It's not a huge deal for me as it's easy to just ignore titles like this but I would imagine indie devs who are trying to get eyeballs on a game they actually put some passion into would appreciate it.

After E33 I have nothing but faith in the team. Let them cook.

I'm not instantly turned-off at the mere mention of a "wider audience". The teams at Atlus are very talented. I have faith they will find their way without losing who they are in the process.

That would be kind of insane to see. Personally I'd rather they just focus on Witcher 4 and Witcher 1 remake but I wouldn't say no to more Witcher 3 either.

Very much well deserved. A fantastic first effort. I can't wait to see where Sandfall goes from here!

I'll give it a try at some point after a sale. I wish I liked DS more than I did but alas. Still wish nothing but the best for Kojima. I'll always cherish MGS at least.

My friend and I had a blast with this game. Sure there were a few mechanics here and there that felt a tad unpolished but overall this is a fantastic co-op game. Hazelight really has stumbled upon a really good formula for their games.

@TheArt
I don't know. If a game hasn't clicked at all for 8 hours it's probably fair to say it isn't going to click later on. This is coming from a fan of JRPGS which are notorious for slow starts after all!

For those who come after.

@TheArt
I gave it a good 8-10 hours or so. It just did nothing for me. The combat, the hub, the loop, the weird quirk of needing to do the intro cutscenes before doing co-op in story missions (maybe Wilds fixed this but this weird quirk just killed any momentum it had for my friend and I when we tried to play co-op in World). All of it really just doesn't click for me. The animations are impressive though. I'll give you that.

I'm happy people like it but I just have no desire to try it anymore. I like SF for many reasons outside of just some cool moves you can do. There's more to it than that but I won't bore you with the details.

Never could get into MH. I really tried with World but it's just not for me. Ghost of Yotei or Ninja Gaiden for me. Shinobi would probably be number 3 the combat in that game was pretty solid if a bit too straightforward at times.

Everyone's always pitting KDC2 versus E33. I'm just happy we have great RPGs to pick between both JRPGs and WRPGs. I personally lean more towards the JRPG side of things myself and so E33 and Trails naturally appeals more to me. That said, if you prefer WRPGs more then KDC2 and OW2 will appeal to you more naturally.

Either way, we are eating good in the RPG genre.
