@Voltan Agreed, I'm just happy it seems to be coming back at all!

@BeerIsAwesome It was, but this news reveals the official name and more details about it.

@BearsEatBeets You're right, thanks!

@Intr1n5ic It certainly does sound like there's been some significant rejigging of the franchise's plans in the past six or so months, yeah

@Intr1n5ic I don't believe Activision ever said publicly it was planning for a game every two years. Most of these reports came from Jason Schreier, who always said there was new Call of Duty content planned for this year. It was going to be like a huge DLC for Modern Warfare 2 across all platforms, but now Activision has decided to make it a standalone game.

@Intr1n5ic Not sure where you’ve got that from, but it’s not true

@PlatinumKing You can kindly leave me alone and remember you're talking to an actual person behind this account

@Nem And the Mortal Kombat 1 name is new.

So, as I was saying...

https://www.pushsquare.com/features/soapbox-ps-plus-might-be-gamings-best-subscription-service-now

@Rhaoulos Because they're significant games that released only a handful of months ago. People may still be interested in buying them.

@rusty82 It releases one week too early for that to be a possibility I’m afraid.

@Jey887

@MrMetroid Haha I support Derby County!

@Jey887 Forest fans get an automatic ban when I'm around

@Tharsman Yeah, I certainly agree there’s a quality and a sense of satisfaction knowing I’ll be able to play everything Microsoft puts out with my Game Pass subscription.

This year in particular, though, I feel those day one releases are being relied upon too heavily, to the point where the overall back catalogue is suffering. It’s become a pretty common response to Game Pass updates now that the list of games leaving the service is better than those arriving.

I’m very excited about playing Starfield, but what else will there be that month? It just doesn’t feel like there’s any promise anymore it’ll be flanked by other stuff from third parties like there has been in years gone by.

@rjejr Oh I wasn’t disagreeing with Sammy’s article 😊

@rjejr I wrote this 😅

@Northern_munkey It’s nice to agree on something for once 🙂

@PsBoxSwitchOwner I don't prefer Xbox over PlayStation. The comment you're referring to is where I said I preferred playing games on my Xbox Series X due to the playtime tracker being broken on PS5. That appears to have been fixed now, but didn't in the first place mean I prefer Xbox over PlayStation in general. I really like Xbox, but PlayStation is still number one for me.

@Flaming_Kaiser If you think Phil Spencer/Microsoft aren't passionate about gaming, actually watch the interview (like so many people in this comments section should).

@Pat_trick Where did I say I was dismissing anyone's argument? I talked about literal fanboys, but unfortunately this site attracts a few too many of them.

@get2sammyb Microsoft has always been drumming this beat, though. They don't share console sales numbers, it's about player engagement. Xbox Series X|S doesn't need to outsell PS5 or Switch to be a success, and that's essentially what Phil said.

His comments are completely accurate, but of course fanboys on both sides will go off on one 🙄 Phil mentions how people are embedded in either ecosystem, and have built a library of games there. Since so many people were on PS4 — which as he mentions is the generation they lost — not many people are willing to invest in a whole new system.

What he actually said on the podcast is that people aren’t going to up and sell their PS5 because Starfield is incredible. The digital nature of most people’s libraries stops that happening now.

I think people are going to be quite surprised when they learn what these 10 live service games actually are, because I'm willing to bet any money Ghost of Tsushima 2 is one of them.

It'll have the same huge single player campaign, but that Legends mode is going to be massively expanded in the sequel. Sony isn't just making 10 Battle Royale knockoffs. These are going to be fully-fledged games.

@aSmilingMan I would recommend trying Jedi: Fallen Order first since that's the first game in this story, and is standalone from the Star Wars movies. Even though it's an excellent game, I don't think I could recommend Survivor at full price for someone with no exposure to the series. If you enjoy Fallen Order, though, this is even better!

I'm gonna have to give this game a go when it comes to PS5. A live service turn-based RPG sounds far too good to miss out on.

@Anke I'm happy to hear it helped you out!

@Westernwolf4 Thank you, I hope you enjoy it just as much as I have 😊

@R1spam Thank you, hope you get a copy for yourself!

@KundaliniRising333 I played the vast majority with the tech issues present, yes. Before the patch, the 30fps Quality Mode was actually smoother than the Performance Mode. It was a bit mad.

I haven't tested the 30fps mode since the patch, but while there are still small dips in the 60fps Performance Mode, it's so much better now. A more than acceptable way to play the game.

@jmac1686 It's still presented in that hologram style, but it's a much better map this time that's easier to read.

@Odium The platforming is really good, I enjoyed it a lot. Super satisfying.

Hi everyone! If you have any questions, feel free to copy me in.

@bkeswick My article was mostly based on the complete lack of a game roadmap the headset has, not sales

Alan Wake II releasing this year still kind of feels too good to be true for me. I hope it happens, but I'll believe it when I see it.

@thefourfoldroot1 Just because you disagree with an opinion, doesn't make it ignorant or clickbait pal

@itsfoz Considering how many articles we post every day, having a single Rumour article basically once a week really isn't very much. There are so many we could cover, but choose not to.

@itsfoz Since the start of March, we've posted five Rumour articles. That's too many?

@Gaia093 Jeff Grubb is reliable, as is Insider Gaming (unfortunately).

@thefourfoldroot1 Thanks for reading!

@Titntin I wasn't writing for a website back then, only 18 at the time

@Americansamurai1 @trev666 Naughty Dog did the vast majority of the work on the port, not Iron Galaxy.

@kyleforrester87 You can blame me haha

This was going to be the first-ever E3 I attended. Having dreamt of going for over a decade, I'm pretty gutted by this news even if it was going to be bad.

@theheadofabroom You can, if it comes from Jason Schreier.

@Reeneman It's out today in the US, which translates to tomorrow morning in Europe.

@truerbluer Naughty Dog did the port with what sounds like a very small bit of help from Iron Galaxy. This is very much a Naughty Dog project, though.

@NEStalgia It’ll almost certainly come back at a later date, but yeah, I’m afraid it’s only a time-limited feature.

@Anke Not at all, it only came out a week ago!

@Areus I think Capcom has already done quite a lot for the Mega Man series with all those collections, and then — correct me if I'm wrong — the Devil May Cry games haven't changed all that much. They're all still linear action games, to the point where you might not see much improvement beyond the visuals. And we've already had the remastered collection.

@NoCode23 Yep! You'll find Vipers in the odd box here and there.

@thefourfoldroot1 That’s right, Chapter 2 actually has a qualifying rating, but it hasn’t received enough votes yet 😊
