Must be pretty unique that a launch-game is still, by far, the best looking game on a system 5 years later.

But maybe not that strange since we have only gotten a handful current gen-exclusives this console-cycle.

No wonder. It looks exactly the same as the first game. Will be surprised if this even sells 5 million. Noone asked for the route they took and the small hype totally died with the last weeks controversies.

Too bad a couple of your studios employers just made them impossible to support from now on. Sticking to asian games and indies from now on.

Excitement 0%. Looks like a ps4 game and bond looks sillly.

Like I have said before. This looks the same as the first game and could probably run on a ps4. I expected more.

First game was ”fine” and worth a playthrough. Gonna wait for this one to drop on ps plus before I play it.

Sigh, this looks exactly like the first game and could probably run on ps4. Zzzzzz….

@Jey887 No, since it means the days of spectacular looking titles optimized for one specific hardware is over. Thats the tradeoff.

The Combat system is its strongest point with much variation. Story was nothing special for me. Its certainly an above average game, but not like the GOAT or something.

Hmm I wonder why only asian developers seems to be successful these days...

Too bad for them they decided to go for half of the potential sales by deliberatly making the game devisive.

Metroidvania sounds good to me, especially if its at the level of quality as PoP.

I think this will be very weird. Elden Ring, as stated in the article, has no real narrative and is vocally silent for the most part. Maybe a "dreamy" style movie with not much dialog and focusing on impressive visuals might work. Kind of like "Legend" with Tom Cruise

I wonder how much money they must destroy before going back to only single-player. I think we are almost there but not quite. Whole generation seems lost, lets put our hopes for PS6.

Decent episode. First half was a long yaaaaaaawn, second half was better. Sadly still ruined by a certain casting-choice that removes all emotional impact from every single scene it is in.

No hate here, just no buy. They made their creative choices and Im not onboard.

I dont like the style of blackmyth wu-kong either, does that make me hate chinese culture?

Better graphics and not look exactly the same as the first game. How can this take 5+ years to make when the engine is obviously the same one?

Well its not exactly gameplay is it? We have been here many times before, and when the game comes out its nowhere near this fidelity.

This show is actually pretty laughable. Bad acting and bad dialogue. No emotions whatsoever. Casting of Ellie is a disaster, she is extremely unlikable so Im rooting for Abby now.

They actually should have switched the actresses for Abby and Ellie, that would have made more sense.

Thanks, but Im non-buy-nary on it anyway, so dont care

This just show why console exclusives will always be superior, look and play the best. PC:s quadzillion different configurations will always spell trouble. Please Sony, its time to stop this PC-nonsense and come home.

This is insane! Imagine we could have had a remake of Bloodbourne by now and Days Gone 2 in the works instead. Well this is it for me, im switching to switch 2. Bye everyone.

@LogicStrikesAgain Well Im sure Sony atleast would like to please SOMEBODY and not end up with Concord everytime...

Thank you MS for bringing your crappy games to our platform! I might try Hellblade 2 on PS Plus. Hard pass on everything else, there is a reason we dont like your platform. Your games are crap.

Im sure a rip-off of multiple existing games with totally unknown characters will work this time! Sony has really lost it...

First game was really good with a interesting story. 2nd game was still fun, but story was all over the place. Actually liked the tighter DLC best and that last boss-fight was great. I would watch a movie when it hits streaming. CGI-spectacles is not for me.

@Artois2 Well that also means getting away from sales and money, so wont last...

Noone in their right mind can say "this game looks crazy". It could easliy be 10 years old graphic wise. Not in the same ballpark as for instance horizon games, gow, or even elden ring. What are you smoking?

@PaperAlien
Because they STILL dont have any good games worth playing, lol

Sure they want it, they just dont want to pay for it

I found Jin Sakai extremely dull with as much personality as a pice of wood, so I dont mind a new protagonist.

I think many would be happier If they did more things like "Burning Shore" in between big releases. Lets say its 6-7 years between every Spiderman, God of War, Last of Us, Uncharted, Horizon, whatever. Then each of those should be getting a meaty DLC/Addon every generation, so we atleast get 1.5 game out of every big franchise every generation.

Remasters is FINE, and I understand they are made to keep people busy. Its certainly better than layoffs. I dont think anyone would complain if we had a roadmap of games at this point and they sprinkled a few remasters here and there. The problem is the lack of information of brand new projects. I really dont understand why we cant get atleast CGI-trailers for some upcoming games. I dont care if they still are 2 years away, we just need stuff to look forward too.

Well its abit pricier than expected, but people are so funny "I was interested until I saw the price!".
What did you expect $100?
Its not like 700$ is THAT much more than 600$ which is a price I think most people would be OK with. Personally I dont feel the need since the visual upgrade is only really noticable with a magnifying glass anyway.

There is a reason demon souls and bloodborne are not on PC. Lots of fromsoft fans game on pc and would for sure concider getting a pc5 just for those games. Hey sony! Maybe a good idea to make bloodborne 2? Nah lets make lego horizon instead….

Well they dont seem to bother making new games to PS5 so why not create some more PC ports. Man, this brand is really dying.

Are you serious? Nothing can save this pile of agenda driven garbage.

Gamers dont want to be lectured, period.

Sounds good to me. Always liked these games. Short but sweet experiences.

1st person and dated graphics, so not interested.

Ehh, you think this looks good? Maybe for a ps3 game

Well for us that DO use things like Mimic Tear I feel the DLC was very uneven. A couple of bosses went down on first try thanks to mimic tear: dancing lion, Twin Moon Knight etc. And some only took a couple of tries. The problem lies with the bosses that almost seem designed to prevent you from even summoning a spirit ash: Commander Gaius, Messmer and Last boss. If you DO choose to use spirit summons and its intended to be uses as Miyazaki says, then WHY do you design bosses that charge you and almost makes it impossible to even summon them? Not very good design. All in all a very good DLC, almost felt like Elden Ring 2 due to all its content. But its far from perfect. PS. Favourite boss: Bayle the dread, OMG the spectacle, so awesome!

Sure its hard if you dont collect the shards and ashes, and dont use spirit summons. If tou do its not too hard. Certainly not harder than sekiro for instance which has no summons or other help systems.
