Alan Wake 2 and trying out arc raiders(loving it).

Writing was on the wall with this one. Sad though as the first is such a nostalgic game for me. I'm surprised they went ahead with this for so long when it clearly wasn't materializing. What released is clearly a corners cut dud.

Damn. Even with the delays it's a dud. Pretty insane they tried to lock clans behind a pay wall with it being such an undercooked unoptimized mess as well.

@ShogunRok right?! Score

Just confirmed the Ps5 version was avail for dl via ps plus catalog.

@ShogunRok Isn't this also on ps plus? Does the upgrade apply to that version as well

The truth is Sony doesn't have a patent on any of this ***** and likeness alone isnt case winning. There are demon souls ripoff made weekly that some even copy the same garbage UI elements Fromsoft uses aside from all the gameplay elements.

I say let the game release it looks to play different and who knows. It may have some ideas that actually evolve the formula instead of milking one that has a ton of room to improve.

Solid for me with v rising and SH2. 👍

Wait isn't it the ONLY successful single player game launch coming out of Sony since Spiderman 2(2years), aside from Astrobot?

🤣

Even as a soley playstation player since their inception, It would be insane for me to look forward to next Gen after how Sony handled the current one. My aspirations of early adoption to their platform are completely gone. They would have to drastically course correct for me to do so again. Have there been great third party games,.. Yes of course. However, that's not Sony and excuse making using this talking point makes zero sense.

At this point building a lasting pc is the plan.

Jesus Capcom lost the plot

Jesus.... . This gen set so much back in pursuit of greed driven mundane slop.

Jesus isn't this a trend with them where you can't play the damn game you paid for. Pretty unacceptable for such a large outfit like EA. I'd be pissed if I paid for a product that was unusable for long stretches of time.

As one who plays every soulslike available, I really put effort into getting through this one but it just cane off as overrated. The level and encounter design along with a visual design of those areas was pretty terrible. The combat system was decent but couldn't save how awful it was to traverse.

Sounds about right for a investor led dev like ubi

Heck yes. Part of me wishes they would have stuck to their original intent and left this IP as a one off and moved onto something new with the knowledge and success gained via development of e33. As it really is better as a one off story.

They immediately shifted course on this after it's success. As welcome as these new additions are great but I almost hope that these additions to the original is all they meant.

Finally available in the US

@Deadhunter weird
I was about to try that too. I'll hold off lol.

@Deadhunter same completely blank page here in the US

Solid get as I didn't want to pay for this game simply because it's just another remasterake, however all absolutely play through it on the service.

Looking forward to playing Alan Wake. It's when I just couldn't bring myself to buy simply because it was so downgraded on console but I will absolutely give it a go via ps plus. Cocoon will be another one I put into my backlog and probably never play 🤣

One of the biggest games of 2026 is a marvel ip fighting game. Lmfao suuuuure. It's just the games media machine hyping this along with a few enthusiasts and marvel stans. It's just another fighting game. No matter the coat of paint there is only so much you can do in a 2 dimensional space in this genre. They all end up playing relatively the same and imo get boring equally as well.

To play this up like some new, unique, universally sought after mega release though, cmon now.

Hell is us. Absolute gem

Yeah
This looks about right for modern day playstation.

It's not the stories that feel samey for me. It's the lack of creativity in favor of very iterative sequels or remasterakes that for some reason still require huge budgets and minimum 4 year Dev times to produce that which re-uses so much.

Quality is there but it's starting to feel very uninspired and it shows when you play them and get that feeling that you've done this all before. Knowing the talented studios they have/had, it can be underwhelming to see the majority them playing it so safe rather than creating bold innovative new experiences on different scales that result in a more diverse portfolio of games on offer.

@Max_the_German 10000%
Well put.sadly Saros looks to be housmarque falling in line as well. Don't get me wrong I adore returnal2. But don't pretend it's anything but a sequel, in brown lol.

It feels like this game is launching with such muted buzz. Anyone else noticing this?

This medium on the AAA front really needs a creative Renaissance.

Armored core 6 is like 20 bucks on Amazon right now and it's physical. Don't buy it on Sony's overpriced store.

Looking forward to this one!

? While I do think Sony is completely blowing it in terms of gamer centric sentiment this generation as well as where they chose to invest their Studios and revrnue in.....The idea that they're blowing it from a business sense is absurd.

This schill is just clearly advertising for nonsensical Ai pipe deams to influence investors. In terms of cloud gaming that is literally already been tried and failed several times from even non-gaming Centric platforms. There are too many variables that make streaming still an outlier. Sure it could work for the "games" that are structured on live service predatory nonsense however for True AAA and AA games it's a sacrifice in many aspects to cloud game.

"The AI is the future that is going to save the world and make many rich," nonsense is just that. in fact it's primary use is just going to be another means to enslave us, take jobs, and homogenize anything it touches.

.... Yet they haven't fixed the game....

Most promising shooter?........... 🤣

Excited for Alan Wake 2. Solid get

The truth: development hell
I don't think they had any structured idea on what this would be when they announced it.

@Papasears1982 I know. part of me is cautiously optimistic that one day the majority of the human population will wake up from their Madness but s*** like this just doesn't bode well....

I remember hearing about this yesterday. Why the f*** would they remake the game that turned out to be such a disappointment LOL. The remastering Remake thing is getting out of hand.

@KundaliniRising333 hilarious in a bad way for sure. Or imagine if those rumors a few years back turned out to be true and it was friggin Harry Potter as the new wolverine. 🤣

@Northern_munkey lmfao that would have been hilarious though!

@LiamCroft does it still have generic enemy encampment clearing like the original? I don't ask to jest. I'm genuinely curious if they went with that same structure.

@LiamCroft you didn't mention the new mini game, yet have a Pic of it in the article. How is it?

"Ghost of Yotei is not the kind of game that will turn detractors of its predecessor into converts"

It's the side activities that turned the first stale in the end. It sounds like it's more of the same on that front unfortunately. Which were outdated and unrewarding in the first.You read through a bunch of reviews and becomes clear this sequel doesn't address the side content issues and does devolve into repetitive checklist like open world fodder hidden behind the veil of the wind gimmick. Which imo has long since been played out.

Had they addressed this I'd be there day one.

The most insane thing to read in these comment sections is Gamers running defense for a company raking in record profits yet justify price gouging, double dipping, homogenization and over monetization inflicted upon themselves..... And applaud the company for it no less.

Crazy world

This and code vein look so dated visually. Jesus.

Soooo much filler. Reternal 2 is what it is and will be fun to play but looked like the same hollow environmental design. Wolverine definitely looked 'Spiderman insomniacified', with blood, so that could go either way. Sony is literally just collecting marketing checks by putting on these mediocre trailer fests.

The format is so corporate and sterile as well.

They really need to pivot into a new pr operation strategy. This ain't it.

I absolutely loved and played the hell out of reternal. However when you tease a new game from a studio that doesn't usually make sequels, it's kind of misleading to come to find out it's just basically returnal2 with a different title and lore but overall the same game play and hollow gamey World design.

The game was solid but because Ubisoft was involved it's packed so full of icon chasing far cry like bloat that it gets stale long before it's over.

It's comical at this point how little Ubisoft has refined that same tired formula in nearly two decades. So much potential overlooked in the mess of formulaic large outfit business model driven decision making.

30 mins? So more marketing deals with some first party tid bits slapped on the ass. Gotcha👍

This is what Sony has become. Opening a merch shop and calling it a rewards plan is laughable push Square.
