Unfortunate but on the bright side, 37% wanting a physical game under the tree isn't insignificant at least. It's actually higher than I would expect.

I hope so. Sands of Time is a stone cold classic. I'd be very interested in playing it again.

I've sunk many many hours into it and I don't see that changing any time soon. It's just so damn satisfying to play and play well.

It's without a doubt going to be my most played game on PS5 when all is said and done just like SFV was on PS4.

That's pretty nutty that ES4 got best remake over Trails in the Sky. I get that Trails never gets respect at these things but that is a damn tragedy!

Glad to see it did well. It was fun playing a Telltale style game again. Just felt like the right time for something like this.

I also think the 2 episodes a week approach was the perfect balance if your going for episodic content. Not too long of a wait like Telltale used to have a problem with. Not too short to the point of being annoyed and asking "Why not just put it all out at once!?" Good stuff. I'll definitely be there for season 2 assuming that happens.

Honestly looks pretty good. I see the vision. Obviously can't say how the final product will turn out but for a first look I think it's promising.

Man I love me some Tomb Raider and I'll be ready to support when I can but can Tomb Raider alone really save Crystal at this point? They've certainly struggled ever since that blasted Avengers game.

If it's priced within the range of a PS5 currently then I could see it raising a few eyebrows. The way they are talking though, it sounds like it might be around at least $800 or so. It's too expensive at that point. It also is likely to be sold through Steam itself like the Deck was and that alone will limit its potential reach quite a bit.

It's an interesting product but I don't think Sony is too worried for now. Now Microsoft on the other hand might be a bit disturbed as this thing basically sounds like a cheaper version of what they are doing next.

Welp can't argue with that price at least.

The weirdest thing is the mobile game looks like a mobilized MMO Monster Hunter based of what was shown. So is this going to just look like a not MMO Monster Hunter?

Sony must really like Monster Hunter.😅

Now that's just silly. You're funny Rockstar!🤣 Good joke!

@Shepherd_Tallon
It does look pretty impressive for sure. Perhaps a bit too impressive. My phone would probably feel like it's on fire if I tried to run this on it!😅

@Shepherd_Tallon
You make some good points. I know mobile is very big in Asia but I just feel like if you are going to make a free-to-play mmo set in an already established franchise, why wouldn't you make sure that the platform with most of your already established fans are able to play?

It just seems like they are making it harder than it needs to be to get an audience for this. I feel like the better approach would have been to be where the majority of fans already are and expand from there but what do I know?

I don't think anyone thought Guerilla was abandoning console development. I think people are just scratching their heads why this particular game isn't available on PS5 is all. It's just an odd choice.

@Wardenknight133 @get2sammyb
I get that they want to capture the mobile market...but I don't see what that has to do with not releasing it on PS5. Or at the very least confirming a PS5 version will come down the road.

As a Free to Play game, they need to get anyone they can get to be sustainable. Cutting out the platform where the majority of already invested fans of the franchise are seems like a frankly dumb business decision.

Look at Hoyoverse. They make games that work great on a phone but are scalable upwards from there. They figured it out. Why can't NCSoft?

I know its meant for mobile first but it's still a very odd decision to not put this out on PS5. That's where the vast majority of Horizon fans already are. Why make things harder on themselves?

I don't get it but good luck to them I guess.

It actually looks pretty solid. I'm personally not interested but I can see a possible audience for this.

Super excited for this. 2nd Chapter is easily among my favorite RPGs I've ever played. Looking forward to it!

Well...they can't all be good ones. There's always next time.

These results make sense to me. Yotei is a better game of course but story-wise it's Tsushima. Tsushima had a more interesting plot overall with the whole struggle between honor and practicality that Jin faced.

I just found that to be much more intriguing than the classic revenge tale Yotei told. And I like Atsu but Jin was just too damn cool to overcome. I liked making haikus more than drawing stuff.😄

Literally nothing good has come from this acquisition. Hopefully they can turn it around but I'm not hopeful Marathon will be the turning point. They really need to go back to the drawing board big time.

I actually only just got around to this around Halloween time. It is very good indeed. I dont even have nostalgia for the series as I never gave the series a shot. I'm certainly a fan now. Looking forward to the SH1 remake and trying SHf here soon too.

Good for the Xbox fans that will get to play it soon too.

Good to hear it was a worthy endeavor for them but I'm still firmly in the "not interested" pool. I just don't see any scenario where I'd personally use it is all. Happy for the folks that like it though.

Infinite was awesome. I was completely hooked to it for like 3-4 months. Loved it. My only real issue was the lack of maps. Outside of that it was really great. Hopefully whatever the plan is for multiplayer fixes that issue because everything surrounding it was top quality.

Mass Effect is one of my all time favorite series so I'm going to stay positive and excited to see where it goes. I never was a big Dragon Age fan so Veilguard doesn't really factor into my excitement one way or another.

That said I did buy a copy of Veilguard in the hopes of supporting the studio to get to the next Mass Effect. I love this series that much.

I'm glad to see them just pop up and say "Hey! We are still here and working on Mass Effect." I don't need a huge info drop every N7 day. A krogan civil war could be interesting. I have a few theories on what it could mean but anyway, happy N7 day Bioware. Still rooting for ya.

They are both great games for sure. I think overall though I did prefer Tsushima ever so slightly. Mostly because I just thought the story and characters were a bit more interesting. Yotei does play a little better though not by much.

One thing is for sure, Sucker Punch simply doesn't miss. Truly one of the best studios out there.

And the Rockstar game delay pattern continues. If history is correct I believe this will be the correct date.

I...just...why?...I really miss PS Stars.

A good change. Honestly I haven't even bothered with the challenges since they were so obnoxious.😅

Maybe now I'll give them a go next time I'm on there.

I don't take BF seriously anyway since it's such a...shall we say impersonal game. There's always so much stuff going on that I don't really pay attention to the score. Even if I would all of a sudden play absolutely out of my mind it's not going to make much of a difference in the grand scheme of things since I'm only one of like 30+ other players.

I do get where the complaints are coming from though. If turning off crossplay only matches you up with bots you might as well not even give the option to turn it off.

This is actually I think one reason why I mostly play fighting games if I play anything online these days. There isn't any real advantage to which input method each player uses. It's more about just what you are most comfortable with instead of just straight up advantage M&K with shooters. Sure someone with a really beefy PC setup might see a jab a few frames faster than me on my PS5 but...well if they willing to spend that kind of cash for such an advantage more power to em...not worth it to me.

I've really enjoyed my time with Dispatch. Honestly might be among my favorite of the Telltale style. The episodes coming out only a week apart from each other and getting two episodes every week at that feels just right.

I had an itch for a new game in this style and so far Dispatch has scratched that itch perfectly.

Sounds like if you are only interested in the documentary stuff and local play you will generally be fine.

If you wish to play these online though...perhaps best to avoid this collection.

So basically exactly like the SF 30th Anniversary collection but for MK.

I don't really mind it to be honest. Would it be nice for it to be free? Sure but like it has been said it's not like that's the only reason to pay for the subscription. And if that's the trade-off for not needing to drop $1000+ for a next-gen console then I'll take that trade.

There isn't a chance in hell I'm dropping $1000 on a gaming console/PC. Not up front at least.

Damn. I could see that being really awesome if it would have happened! I'm a huge Matrix fan (even of Matrix 2 and 3... not so much on the 4th☹️) and thinking of how Kojima might have left his mark on the series is an exciting prospect. Guess it wasn't meant to be though.

I mean I love Seonhee. My best companion in Infinite Wealth. She's great but uhhh...I don't love her like that! 🤣

Always interesting to see stories like this. I'd say they certainly made the right choice with dropping the multiplayer. SOTC is a timeless classic.

I will certainly be keeping an eye on this one. Looks really cool! Classic God of War combat with a Prince of Persia looking aesthetic? That's a great combination.

I love VF5 but no way is that happening. I've officially had my fill of VF5. I'm just patiently waiting for the next game at this point.

Absolutely there day 1. Love me some Halo!

@MichaelNau
I could see that might have been part of the plan for Battle Hub at some point. Plans have certainly changed at this point though. It's a cool idea though.

And they did do the "Support Capcom Cup" costume bundle stuff with SF5 so it's a shame to see them just never even try that again with SF6. I'd be much more willing to pay for that than just the privilege of watching the Capcom Cup.

@Jrs1
For multiple reasons potentially.
1. To simply enjoy competition. Why does anyone watch sports? People enjoy watching the best in the world compete against each other.
2. To potentially learn new techniques/strategies to help bolster your own play when next you hop on the game.
3. Maybe you make a friendly wager with some buddies? People have placed bets on stranger things.

It isn't for everyone but there is certainly an audience out there for this sort of thing.

@MrPeanutbutterz
No because the in-game replays system only captures online matches played. Capcom Cup is a locally played tournament. They did say they will put up a free video of the event a week or two later...but who will care to bother watching outside of maybe some of the highlight matches?

It's a real shame. I've enjoyed following the pro scene for SF6 quite a bit but I just can't support this. The only way I'd even consider paying would be if the ads were removed but we all know that won't happen. Feels bad man.☹️

I'm glad Halo is coming as that is my favorite fps out there but I also really enjoyed Killzone a lot as well. They don't play anything alike really so I doubt Killzone would be overshadowed.

Killzone may not be the most popular shooter out there but they made 6 games in that franchise. Clearly there is an audience for them. Also keep in mind Killzone never released as a multiplatform title. It's sales potential was always cut short by that. Considering how Halo is coming over, what harm would there be in getting Killzone on Xbox and especially PC? Might as well if they would revive it.

Sadly though it doesn't seem like Sony is interested in the series at all at this point so I wouldn't hold my breath. At least I can soon play Halo again on my primary system.

It is quite odd that they just released Gears with its multiplayer intact but are skipping it for Halo. As much as I love Gears MP, I would say Halo's MP is more important to have than Gears MP.

Sure Gears was just a remaster whereas Halo is a full-blown remake but still. It reminds me of how I felt when the Nathan Drake collection launched without Uncharted 2 or 3's multiplayer. Like I'm happy they are here but something is most definitely missing.

I'm sure Halo multiplayer will come around in some form in the future though so I'm not too worried.

Good to have it! I've always preferred Playstation in general but Halo has been and still is the GOAT of fps in my opinion. I always found some way to play the latest Halo release every chance I had. Sometimes it involved going over to a friend's house. Sometimes I joined my brother for a co-op session. I got to play Halo Infinite on PC when I last got a new laptop. Absolutely loved it. It was my GOTY that year.

Having Halo on Playstation is honestly a dream come true for me. Sure I wish it had multiplayer but as stated in this article the future of the series is on Playstation as well. Multiplayer will come. Never thought I'd see the day!

Welcome to Playstation Halo!

Can't deny I'm disappointed to see no multiplayer. Halo without multiplayer is like ordering a pizza with no cheese. That said I imagine there's some sort of Halo multiplayer thing in the works for the future so maybe this is just them getting their feet wet with UE5.

It looks amazing! It does at least have co-op and the extra missions is a nice addition. Looking forward to it for sure.

The production value really is quite incredible. For $30 too it seems solid enough. I was kind of itching for a telltale style game lately so this hit me at the perfect time.

Looking forward to the rest of the episodes. Also nice that the wait is just a week between each release. Much better than the month long wait times with old-school telltale.

Spoken like the boss of a 3rd party publisher.

I get why she would say this considering where Microsoft is now in the market but there's a reason Nintendo and Playstation hardware continue to perform well. They know how to give their platform value. Exclusives are part of it. It is as simple as that.

I honestly didn't even know there were calls for a boycott. 🤣

Glad the game is doing well though. It's really great. I do think I prefer Tsushima ever so slightly as I thought the story for that one was a bit more interesting but Yotei is a great game no doubt.

Kind of funny to think just a couple generations ago, $600 for PS3 was considered ludicrous by the masses. Fast forward to now and it's looking like a pretty fair price especially compared to the competition.😂

I already feel like performance is as even between PC and console as it's ever been so the idea of a PC Xbox just doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe there will be more to it whenever we start hearing more official information about these machines but at face value I just don't see this working out for Xbox.
