It's such a shame. Bully is such an awesome game and still to this day is my favorite from R*. I'd love to be wrong but I just don't see current day R* making anything other than GTA and Red Dead.
The funny thing is the Stars program actually pushed me towards digital purchasing since you could get some store credit which in the end got Sony more of my money. Now I've veered back to buying physical since there's no longer an incentive to buy digital versions outside of convenience.
They are actually making less money off of me as customer from this. An exclusive merch store is not a compelling incentive for a rewards program. Simple as that.
It's on my radar for sure. They are definitely saying all the right things at the moment. Certainly one of the most interesting titles coming up for a multitude of reasons.
This was pretty disappointing I gotta say after the EVO trailer made it seem like this presentation was going to be a bit more substantial. Oh well. Maybe next time. It certainly makes me think this game is still very far out from release though.
Not really too much for me. Wolverine looks cool. Saros, I'll probably pass since I never was really interested in Returnal and it looks pretty similar to say the least. Nothing in the middle really caught my attention either. Good month for PS+ though at least.
Edit: Oh yeah Crimson Desert getting a date is cool though. I'm interested to see how that one turns out.
Very cool looking. Her burnout pressure is probably going to be obnoxious with all the side-switching flippy-dippy kicks she's got going on. Maintaining drive meter against her will be a must to have access to parry!
I never got around to the Christmas stuff they added last year so I'm planning on jumping in around December this year instead. So much content added to this game, and all free for the most part!
Stellar Blade is literally the gift that keeps on giving.
Well. Well. That is certainly interesting. The game does look cool but I was hesitant to jump in specifically because I don't want to engage in another gatcha. Cosmetic only though? That gets my attention for sure.
A shame to hear but if the studio's heart isn't in it then I'd rather they work on something else they are passionate for. But for the love of God can we at least get an Infamous 1&2 collection on PS5? I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
I hate to doom and gloom upcoming games but I just don't see any chance of this ending well. Just sounds so uninteresting to me and judging by the discussion (or lack there of) around this game not many others are interested either.
SC is my favorite of the series so I'm very excited to see it when it happens! 3 is an interesting one for sure though. I can't imagine they would want to leave it at 2 but I would understand them skipping 3 if the demand just isn't there.
Hopefully 1 & 2 do well enough to warrant 3 as well so we can have the whole series playable on modern hardware.
I have it installed but I'm still juggling both Trails through Daybreak 2 and Mafia Old Country. I'm looking forward to playing it when I get the chance though!
As long as the courses aren't as big and wide as MK World then I think Sonics actually got a real good shot here. World is fine but it's just kinda...well boring. There's barely any ramming going on because of it. Not a lot of chaos. Not something I'd expect to see from a kart racer. I liked 8 much better.
With the way the lore is setup they could really kind of go all sorts of different routes with it. Regardless the moment we see their Sandfall logo pop up in a game showcase...talk about a mic drop moment.
I don't think I'll be playing the campaign right away as I recently replayed it a few years ago. I'll definitely be hopping into some multiplayer though. Super cool to see Gears on PS. I've always been a Gears fan but PS is my preferred console so I'm stoked that I can play Gears on it!
One of the GOATs right here! This was my favorite era for shooters and Gears 1 has aged like a fine wine in my eyes. Just a stone cold classic. I always wanted Gears and Halo on PS but figured it would never happen yet here we are.
I might need to pop some champagne for the occasion! Cmon Cole Train! Let's go Locust hunting again!
Sounds awesome. They fixed the few issues I had in the original with the streamlined camouflage system and improved controls. A classic has had new life breathed into it. I couldn't ask for much more than that.
Great to hear its shaping up nicely! It's so awesome to see them giving Sky the respect it deserves. Here's hoping this does well and we get a Sky 2nd Chapter next. That's my personal favorite of the series!
Really wish it had the PS2 era MKs. Deadly Alliance is a stone cold classic in my opinion. Hopefully they do a second collection for those at some point.
As for Mythologies and Special Forces, it cool that they actually included them but oh boy are they bad...like really bad. Shaolin Monks is by a country mile the best of their attempts at spin-off games like this.
Gameplay-wise, MGSV honestly might be one of the best games I've ever played. An incredible game. It's just too bad the story wasn't finished. And no offense to Sutherland but his voice performance just was not great.
I'm sure BF6 will take some players away but I highly doubt COD is going to be sweating much. Like it or not COD just works for its general audience. BF is a bit more hardcore and will not likely draw in your casual shooter fan.
Also it's just easier to play with friends in COD than in BF. That goes a long way for a shooter.
All that said though it is nice to see BF actually doing well for itself for the first time in a very long time.
I suppose this makes sense. They aren't sure if this multiplayer mode is going to be a hit or not so they probably aren't putting too many resources into it.
I don't mind the extra length. As it was stated the cutscenes are fully-rendered now as opposed to the original. That alone makes sense to add to the length considerably as there is always lots of dialog in Trails.
I'm still very much looking forward to it's release.
I'm enjoying it. It's been a nice change of pace after playing so much SF6 for the last few weeks. Sure it's not reinventing the wheel but I'm fine with that. A solid game so far.
@DETfaninATL Agreed. COD is more twitch/fast paced and less emphasis on vehicles. BF is the complete opposite with an emphasis on vehicles and big maps which slow down the pace dramatically.
I get that people love to compare them because they are both military shooters but the similarities pretty much stop there.
They are the coolest of the cool to those with taste.🤣
Just kidding but seriously it's my favorite genre by a country mile. I like a variety of games but there is very little than can stand up to a good ol JRPG.
Battle Royale just never clicked for myself. Too much running around aimlessly and praying to RNGesus. I prefer the more traditional multiplayer shooter experience.
Thankfully it at least seems like shooters are moving away from putting all their eggs in the BR basket. A variety of modes is never a bad thing.
Love to see them getting along with each other. It's going to be interesting to see where FF goes next. I liked 16 quite a bit but seeing FF return to turn-based would be pretty friggin exciting too.
Leave it to one bad apple to try and spoil the fun for everyone. My heart goes out to the passionate Kimberly fan that got snuffed from winning for this dude's cheap trick.
Good on Capcom though for rectifying the situation.
