I'm interested but they have done a really bad job promoting this game. Like do we know if it's an open world game? Is it linear like what Mafia Old Country is going for? Is there a skill tree? I don't know any of these answers!

I get not wanting to spoil too much but this is an unknown studio. You need to sell the game a bit. Otherwise people won't get interested even if it's something they might be interested in.

I'd love to be wrong but I can't say I have much faith in this project.

I don't think Playstation is really missing out here. They will still put whatever their next game is on Playstation anyway. And if Arrowhead's next game doesn't turn out as well as HD2 did they can always fallback later to make Helldivers 3 or something with Playstation down the road.

It'd be kinda reminiscent of how Insomniac was when they branched out a bit.

I think they can do it if they just stay the current course. Assassin's Creed is easily their biggest and best bet which is why they have so many projects in the works for that series. Far Cry is also a steady seller for them too so that helps.

It may not make for the most exciting headline, but when your back is up against the wall as a company, it makes sense to rely on your most steady sellers to get back to profitability. I have hope Ubisoft can turn it around.

Sad but to be fair the Khaos Reigns dlc apparently bombed pretty heavily. So if that's the case then it just doesn't make business sense to continue support if no one is buying the content.

I actually liked MK1 myself but I get why they decided to pull the plug. Hopefully wherever NRS go from here works out better for them.

@DonJorginho
Very cool! I'd frame that picture!

I don't usually buy plushies but I might need to make an exception. Esquie is such a delight. I smile every time he says "Time for a swim swim." 😄

I had a great time with Shadows. I took a break after I finished the main quest but I'll definitely return for the big expansions. Hopefully Shadows is a sign of good things to come for Ubisoft.

@DennisReynolds @ShogunRok
It was a truly unholy abomination...got a cool sword and shield out of it though at least. 😄

Not a Dead By Daylight fan but oh well. Maybe the next one will be more geared towards my interest. I remember AC Origins collaborated with Final Fantasy XV in some goofy fun ways. Maybe FFXVI will do something similar with Shadows.

One more delay to the holiday season next year. Take it to the bank.

Good for the PC crowd. It's a great game. Enjoy it!

I'm also excited to finally fight Mann. I always thought he looked so cool and was a bit sad how little screen time he got so I'm glad to see him finally get some spotlight.

I just don't understand how someone can hate a product enough to harass people that are working on it. Especially when it is a product that no one knows really anything about.

I mean we got a short trailer and... that's it. If your not interested, just move on to other things. No one is forcing anyone to play it.

It's just truly unhinged behavior.

Sounds like what I had happen to me on PS3 back in the day. Only then the framerate was literally unplayable at like 5 fps!😂

I love Skyrim as much as the next guy but man. Bethesda sure does get away with some nonsense.

I think it's about time for Skyrim. It never gets any love!

I do think I like the way the game has portrayed TLOU2 better personally. The show has been done well enough but some of the changes have been a bit head scratching.

I actually think the two actresses portraying Ellie and Dina have good chemistry but I felt like Ellie being upset/guilty about dragging a pregnant woman she likes into a warzone in the game made much better sense than the make-out scene. 😅

Still, it's been fine for the most part. Not as good as the game but still a fine way to spend an hour every week.

Wow he looks so much cooler now! I really dig the new look! I love Virtua Fighter but it definitely needs a fresh new look for its comeback and RGG is nailing it so far. Looking forward to the direct!

Okay after a certain plot point I got to this just went from 9 to a 10 for me. Simply incredible!

I honestly forget it's a thing until it's brought up in conversation. I just have no interest personally. Perfectly happy with my base PS5.

Oh yeah! Super excited for this!

It is a pretty big glow up for sure. Daybreak looks fine itself but this almost looks like a whole new engine. Good stuff Falcom!

Say what you will about Xbox but this is absolutely one of the best things they got going with their ecosystem. Both Sony and Nintendo could be doing better in this department.

I'm not really frothing at the mouth for it but I'm excited for sure. It's always a fun time when a new R* game comes around because of just how much budget and time goes into them. The sheer technical prowess is always a sight to behold.

That said though, I do hope dearly that the combat mechanics are drastically improved this time around. We have had the same "lock-on, tilt up, shoot" combat since their PS2 games. That's always been an annoyance with their games for me. I'm not asking for much I just want it to play like a proper 3rd person shooter is all.

While 30 fps isn't ideal, I can deal with it since this isn't exactly the most twitch-based game out there. I love exploring their worlds but if they can finally make some drastic improvements to combat, then I'll be really excited to play!

The right call for sure. Very excited for this one!

Looks great! I had a blast playing through the Mafia games for the first time last year so I'm for sure picking this up.

August is going to be quite busy for me with this, Snake Eater and Gears!

@ErrantRob
I also should have mentioned this too in that I also haven't finished the game yet. So perhaps it improves later on in the game.

But other examples I can think of that do it well would be like Persona for example where the characters interact with each other a lot more. (Though to be fair the protagonist is mostly silent in that series so I guess they kind of have to play off of each other more 😅)

But yeah for a first go at it Sandfall has basically knocked it out of the park everywhere else. I can only imagine where they could go from here. Definitely a bright future ahead of them.

Patent law is absolutely insane. Sometimes it makes sense. Other times you get companies like Nintendo patenting the most odd things that nobody would have ever expected to be patented. Like the gliding thing. Does Nintendo really have a patent specifically for gliding on the back of a creature? It's so odd.

@ErrantRob
Yeah I've done them too. However, those are mostly only between the main character and whoever you choose to talk to. I feel like there could've been a bit more character development between the crew themselves. Not just when the main character talks to them.

It's the highest 9 I think I could ever give! Everything is so damn good. The only two things that keep me from a 10 would be I wish there was a way to switch party members mid-battle and I do wish there was just a tad more camaraderie among the cast. Don't get me wrong, it's there, I just think there are areas where there could have been more.

Overall though it's an absolutely wonderful game and has easily put Sandfall on the map big time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has never heard of a "frog type game". They talking about Frogger? Leap-Frog? What do they mean!?

Regardless I doubt there is any chance I'm going to be interested in whatever this "gummy bears" game is but good luck to them. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.

Oh the studio name though. Please dear God change that at least.

I know its been said a million times at this point but turn-based RPG fans are eating so good right now! Can't wait for Sky remake!

Good lord! That's just crazy! I'm almost kind of impressed at the audacity of that price.

I loved Ghost of Tsushima. My personal favorite PS4 game from a 1st party studio. I have no doubt Sucker Punch will put out yet another banger title like always.

I would say the stealth mechanics however could be improved though. Stealth was very by the book in Tsushima. Not bad, just very much what one would expect. After seeing the improvements to stealth made in AC Shadows recently I'm hoping Yotei will follow suit somewhat.

I feel like people sometimes forget the base PS5 is still a very capable machine too. Yes GTA6 looks incredible visually but I never doubted the base PS5 could keep up with it. They've had all the time in the world to optimize the game for current-gen consoles. I doubt they were going to put out something that only ran well on a very niche product like the PS5 Pro.

Just doesn't make business sense. The really fun test will be how the Series S handles this thing. Now that will be interesting to see! 😄

I'm going to chuckle just a bit every time we get a job from Boobie. 😄

I really like the Bonnie and Clyde style dynamic the dual protagonists have this time around. Haven't really seen that kind of relationship in gaming very often.

Looks pretty cool. Very pretty graphics.

If one of the multiplayer offerings will be similar to AC Brotherhood-Black Flag I'll be a very happy fan indeed. Shadows was a great time and I'm immensely intrigued by Hexe.

I still can't believe we are actually getting Gears of War on Playstation. Gears and Halo were always the two games I made sure to play in whatever way possible on the Xbox side. Sometimes that involved getting an Xbox late in the console cycle. Sometimes playing co-op at a friend's house who owned an Xbox. Most recently played Halo Infinite on PC because of the Covid console shortage.

I'm mostly into fighters and RPGs but Halo and Gears were always my two shooter series. To have them both available on Playstation is truly a wild reality I never thought I'd see in my lifetime!

@PerpetualBoredom
I'm not saying you gotta like the guy. I'm just saying him even bringing up the game is good for the game's popularity is all.

Poor Concord is still catching strays for no reason. I wish people would stop beating that dead horse already.

Anyway, this sounds like a terrible idea. I hope it isn't true but if it is then I'll just ignore it but yeah not crazy about this at all.

The campaign alone on Playstation is awesome. The multiplayer too!? Finally a multiplayer third person shooter on PS5!

I really do need to find the time for another playthrough. I absolutely loved every second of Witcher 3 and can't wait for 4.

@Wraggadam
I haven't heard of that game. I'll give it a look though.

I picked it up on Switch since I was looking for a good portable game. I have no prior experience with the Danganrompa games so I was coming in fresh and I'm really enjoying the game so far. It's kind of reminds me of 13 Sentinels a bit with the whole Visual Novel/SRPG setup. Turns out that makes for a really good combination!

Hopefully it will do well enough for them to continue operations. I might even look into picking up the Danganrompa games after I finish this one.

I like GTA but it hasn't really been a "drop everything to play the new one" kind of game for me. That said, most publishers are going to avoid late May like the plague because of it so assuming I'm not in the middle of something else I'll probably play it at launch anyway.

I never expected it this year anyway and could see it's date moving one more time before release though.

Expedition. Of course. Was there any doubt?

It doesn't look too shabby but I don't think this one is for me. Maybe if a few friends pick it up I can be convinced but at the moment I'm going to pass on it. I don't really go to From for multiplayer needs.

@PerpetualBoredom
I mean yes of course it's a PR stunt but it still makes a headline that might spread beyond your usual game site which again is only a good thing for the game.

Not surprised in the least. Rockstar always delays at least once after they announce a release window.

I know he isn't the most popular man out there but it's still pretty cool to be receiving praise like this from your country's president. Shows the game has even caught the eyes of the more casual market out there which can only be a good thing.
