@Frmknst This type of game is not for you. That's fine. But no need to take a dump on those who do.

Not a lot of games let you play as cops, it seems like an untapped market. I feel as if there is potential in a full-blown open world cop game.

@Balaam_ I mean... you must have the internet to be writing to us right now...
What's the problem?

"We can’t help but wonder how long this terminology will stick around, even if Sony chooses not to use it."

I still call X "Twitter". I still "Tweet".
Although in fairness "X" is the worst rebrand since Royal Mail decided to call itself Consignia. Although also in fairness RM decided to change back in about a month. Musk has run with it.

Angry Joe gave this a 6/10 and tbh I agree with his reasoning. He says that he is into it, that the game is fun, and it will probably get better with time. But right now it is nothing that you should put your backlog on hold for and it is clearly missing
content.

The original RE3 was incredible back in the day. I know that it seems quaint today but going from a game where the door loading screen was this impassable force field to having a guy that could chase you room to room gave me a heart attack the first time that it happened lol. And when you are playing this blind you really do have no idea where and when he'll turn up.

I liked the main villain Nicholai a lot too. No world domination plot, crossdressing as his sister or magical viruses for him; he just wanted to escape the city and get a big fat bag with a dollar sign on it for his troubles.

Put me in the ''i'm sick of hearing about this game just release it already'' camp. It is possible to kill off enthusiasm as well as wet it, guys.

Couldn't you just look at the art online? Seems a bit pointless in 2026.

Besides which, these trailer numbers do not actually tell the whole story. I watched the GTA trailer via the medium of YouTube commentators talking about it. I still watched the whole thing, several times, but I am not on the stats.

What GTA 6 has not done YET.

Let's see what happens when we get the actual pre-release trailer with some solid gameplay footage in it. I predict that it'll break the Internet.

@LeeBB_Art "Why is this site such an anti everything site?"
What passage do you refer to in particular? Looks to me like they are just reporting on some news.

@Oram77 PSN/PS Plus is incredibly cheap. I'm not being sarcastic either. The amount of value that you get with this service (assuming that you are a regular gamer) is huge.

This is literally the only Marvel film that anyone is excited for - and they don't even own it.
"Endgame" turned out to be the most prophetic name in film history lol.

Nah. This is a foolish hope. Ten years ago AI was barely a glint in its creators eye. And now look at it. We are talking about it stealing jobs and making humanity obsolete.
Think of where it'll be in another ten. And the ten after that.
Only a matter of time whether you like it or not.

@nomither6 The PS2 is top? I agree. Nothing has ever beaten it.

@Balaam_ I'm not a trophy hunter but I do agree with you. If you are going to have this feature, if you are going to include it for every game, then it needs to be executed properly.

Why can't you delete old trophies? It makes no sense to me. Especially as a lot of old games thanks to the trend of attaching them to multiplayer are now completely impossible.

All i want from a Cyberpunk 2077 patch is the ability to play in third person.
I have never understood the point of games that have incredibly detailed character creators and hundreds of clothes to find and yet have it so you cannot look at your character in-game.
And no, i do not count the inventory screen as "in-game".

The outfits look crap but i find it hard to get annoyed by "free and optional".
The bugs on the other hand...

@somnambulance ''Anyone remember when people actually liked video games?''
Games used to be of a higher quality than they are today. And people can ''OK granddad'' me as much as they like. Almost all of the legendary franchises got their start twenty plus years ago. How many franchise success stories can you actually name from recent times apart from Fortnite and Minecraft?

I have zero problem with this, and I bet if you dared to post a poll on this I am by no means alone.
And btw, who wants to invest their time into some dead multiplayer game? Being able to track the metrics means that I won't waste my money.

@somnambulance Agreed. The word "hate" has been overused to the point of irrelevance.
"Love" too for that matter, which is why I did not take part in the poll. There needs to be a middle ground option. Not everything has to be black and white.

@RZ-Atom You are essentially asking why Coca Cola would talk about Pepsi or McDonalds would talk about Burger King.
What your closest competitor is doing is VERY important. The PS6 will not release into a vacuum.

I do not see the point in watching these things live when I can just read an article the next day.

My opinion is that graphics are already good enough. A few extra blades of grass isn't going to improve my enjoyment.
What I want is performance and value for money.

@Oram77 I'm actually kind of amazed no one has ever remade the original 2D MG 1 and 2. It seems like a licence to print money.

The fact that they were designed by a woman is completely meaningless. Or are we going with the incredibly sexist and quite frankly dangerous notion that women can not be perverts?
(I'm not saying she is one btw, just that I cannot see what other interpretation of this statement i'm meant to be taking).

@UltimateOtaku91 It is as Microsoft went to lunch with the Dreamcast, the Virtual Boy and the NeoGeo and went "hold my beer".

Cost, value, benefit analysis:
Inflation rising, money devaluing, unpredictable political situation, no guarantee of there being any amazing games on the system.
Conclusion:
I would rather stick with what i've got.

@BanChatum How is it a breath of fresh air? What is unique about it?

I have found PushSquare's coverage of this game to be highly suspicious.
I am saying no more about it.

@IamJT I have no problem with people spending their money how they like.
What i have a problem with is the tedious moaning and whineing and crying when the game comes out and it ends up being a janky, broken mess.
That is your fault. No one else's. Yours.

I wish Total Biscuit was still around to verbally slap anyone who still thinks it is a good idea to pre-order a game in 2026.

Half of all studios have laid off staff in the last year. And of those, half again have not found work. And that includes Sony.

I note the sarcasm in the headline, but this legitimately remarkable news. And there will be plenty of applicants to choose from.

@J2theEzzo Yep. I HOPE that PushSquare has no control over these Marathon ads because no joke I currently have half of my phone screen covered in one as I write this. As you say, a bit hard to trust all of this neverending praise for a game that they are technically speaking making money out of.

My first impression several months ago was that this game looks exceedingly generic, and having played it, that is still my impression.
I'll give it a few months tops.

Rockstar Just cannot win.

Release it too early: Did you learn nothing from Cyberpunk 2077?

Delay it a few times to make sure it is perfect: We're really getting anime GTA on PS5 before GTA 6?"

Half of all video game companies laid off staff in 2025, and of those, half again have not found employment afterwards.

Once you get past the big names, this industry is in serious trouble. The jobs are going and are not being replaced. High profile failures are everywhere. New ip is deemed too risky.

Dark days. I feel sorry for anyone who wasn't around for the bright days. They were fun.

Damn. Can they afford to lose 5 of their 10 players so soon?

'I believe it reflects the erosion of once-great PlayStation management that I think we’ve all been feeling for quite some time.''

So... when was this ''once great PlayStation management'' out of interest? What time period do we need to go back to to ''Make Sony Great Again?''
Was it the one that skimped on its internet security which led to PSN going down for a month? How about the one that botched the PS3 launch?

@Oram77 It wasn't recently, no.
If they've moved away from that formula I nay be tempted to pick one up.

I wonder what her character arc is going to be? Seems a bit un-PC in 2026 to have her following Sonic around like a puppy.

Same old Bethesda pumping out slop. Unfortunately it is very popular slop that has people asking for seconds.
People never put their money where their mouth is to teach these companies a lesson. They just moan.

Meh. Does anyone really play Resident Evil for the story? I guess what I'm asking is, can you actually spoil a plot that always seems to have as an answer "viruses, aliens and/or magic"?

Starfield is the game that finally showed the world what Bethesda is when it no longer has a popular ip protecting it from backlash.
Compared to what Rockstar, Naughty Dog or CDProjectRed are doing nowadays, Bethesda is such a yesterday's company.

@naruball Just because you do not like the game does not mean that it is not quality.

Quality speaks for itself. The YouTube reviewers do not have nearly the power that people credit them with. If this game was good, word of mouth would have gotten around and people would have played it.
It really is that simple.

I can't think of a quicker way to prevent me from buying this.

The general sentiment here seems to be disagreement with Sammy.
Personally, I think his opinions are based less on being a gamer and more as the editor of a gaming news website.

I still play on my crusty old PS4 all the time, Sammy. It does the job brilliantly. Easily one of the best consoles of all time.
