I won't know whether I like this until I see how hot Resident Evil characters look with it turned on.

@MrPeanutbutterz Yeah. There's no stash whatsoever. You can't store anything anywhere.

How tf do you hold onto loot and items over a 150+ adventure?! Bonkers.

The PCGamer review highlighted the exact sorts of design decisions that would annoy the ever-loving hell out of me (terrible tutorials, nonsensical story, awful fast travel placement, forced character switching, boss battle stun locking, plus I heard the cutscenes are unskippable). I've abandoned games for fewer transgressions.

If I ever play it, it'll be because it was on a deep deep sale (~$20) or given out on PS+. Whichever comes first. I have way more to play that isn't prone to making me grind my teeth in frustration.

I liked what I played and wish it had time to evolve and grow.

I was just thinking of B4 the other day. Really feels like this game came and went faster than most AAA titles. I've heard next to nothing about it since it released, which is odd since the series sells well. I wonder how it did.

Returnal and Saros are exactly the "size" of exclusive Sony should be investing in to bolster the exclusive library.

They're made with the utmost care, fantastic to play, and they push the system's capabilities in ways many cross-platform games don't. Now all Sony has to do is acknowledge a game like this should be $40-50 and not full price.

@StitchJones Are you me?! I can't play turn-based games. The ludonarrative dissonance required to make sense of turn-based fighting just can't be overcome by my brain.

@StitchJones This is what annoys me. I wanted a sequel that was an improvement, not a totally different genre of game.

If you think Fortnite is the biggest game in the world, you don't understand Roblox.

Space Marine 2 and Metal Eden are 2 big gets off my wishlist!

I never understood why Bungie, of all developers, is afraid to make a single player campaign. They were giants of the industry because of their craft. Now they refuse to touch the damn mode.

I love the aesthetic of Marathon. But I don't think this single mode is my cup of tea. I'd have played the hell out of a story or co-op mode in this world though.

Just for people's reference... Highguard had more modes within a week of its launch. Just saying.

Considering you don't get a cable with their other controllers nowadays, this is at least SOME added value, unless they removed features.

Or... say it slowly with me... don't pre-order games.

It sucks that live service games aren't allowed to mature in today's market. Players want new experiences, we get them, and then they don't do Fortnite numbers over night and get forced to shut down.

It sucks for the developers and players of all types. Games like Fortnite weren't Fortnite on day one. It can take years for games to find themselves. But in today's market, they aren't given the chance. RIP

This regime at Sony has no idea what it wants to do. It has no clear visions whatsoever.

Wish it had the X-Men Genesis games (Clone Wars is goated) but this is still a solid collection.

It's getting supremely annoying that y'all seem to focus your technical reviews on PS Pro almost exclusively these days when the majority of players don't have that hardware. It's doing a disservice to your audience to make Pro hardware the baseline by which you judge how a game plays.

This is another step for me toward going PC first going forward. Playstation has slowly been killing what made it special: its first party output. I see fewer reasons to be faithful to them if they aren't faithful to their own brand and personnel.

Meanwhile, Bungie BLEEDS money faster than its player counts and they're still kicking. Makes no sense.

@WolfyTn Read his name again. But this time, read it more slowly.

@MichaelNau I've always imagined John Wick playing like the Arkham games with the rhythmic combat. Have him use melee to build up the ability to execute enemies at the end of combos.

Put it back in the shadows. This looks awful.

This is literally an all-time dream game of mine, so to say I am hyped is an understatement.

I still can't believe they've never bothered overhauling how absolutely atrocious the build mechanics are. For a game all about building bases, they're some of the worst gameplay systems for actually constructing things.

Every time I get into the game, it's the obnoxious base building and finicky controls surrounding them that push me away. I can just not be bothered to engage with such an awful player experience. It blows my mind that they have never bothered trying to improve on such a core system.

The art style is pretty great to me. The problem is, Horizon HAS an art style. Why develop an all new look and feel for an established IP?

If this style was tied to a new IP I think it would have been received better. I mean, it looks kind of painterly like Arcane and that show won awards aplenty. It's not like it's bad bad. It's just not a fit for this particular IP and I think people are reacting to that.

But then, I'm someone who prefers artistry in my graphics to realism.

This looks like a slightly more stylized Arcane, which literally won awards for its gorgeous art style.

I think it looks far more interesting visually than Horizon itself. I dig the f out of it. But, I love when games go for stylized looks versus realism. It gives them more character and identity, imo.

@VeganH It got a 5v5 mode earlier today.

Also... Remnant is goated in my book. 😂

@Contimaloris It got a 5v5 mode earlier today.

This single mode is more fun than anything CoD has done in years. And I say that as someone who thoroughly enjoyed DMZ. It's more original than anything BF6 has outside player made content.

Apparently the game is too different from everything, but also too similar to some things... I don't know. I have fun playing it. Most fun I've had in a shooter since Apex's own small 3v3 mode they killed off (forget it's name).

The broader reaction to this game's existence is why we can't have nice things in this hobby. And why we're doomed to just get rehash after rehash of the same stuff.

I only played the second one, but I liked it. Sad to see Ubislft shoot themselves in the foot yet again.

It's like they never know what makes their games fun, as they never iterate on good ideas, they just mix and match gameplay elements from other series at random and hope for the best. They have no true identity or direction/soul.

This looks great. Love what indie devs are doing nowadays.

@Zeke68 Lol is this a joke? Insomniac was rather famously thrown off by their internal leak and it is rumored to have impacted multiple titles.

I have had my eye on this for a while. Didn't know it was coming to PS5. I hope a few friends snag it. But I'm also hesitant with Light No Fire on the way.

If you can't remake a proven all-timer that fans were actively clamoring for, then I don't have faith in you to knock it out of the park with anything "new" you may be cooking up.

Ubisoft needs to be wrestled from the hands of that damn family. They are fumbling the company into irrelevance.

If they would have agreed to make it - at most - a co-op RPG experience and not a live service title, it could have succeeded. Their RPGs have always been SO CLOSE to co-op experiences what with so much squad management and the narratively always working in squads. That was the logical next step. I think it's the jump to the online looter shooter junk that truly derailed it.

Never put faith in rumors or rumor mongerers. It's just people making a ploy for engagement.

Y'all seem to misunderstand the man was stating this as it pertains to a very real lawsuit. Like... that's not the time nor the place to make ***** up.

How good is the battery life? I feel that's an important factor for wireless headsets. Surprised it wasn't mentioned.

I'm surprised Ubisoft hasn't made Division some sort of f2p platform by now. Just link em together through map fast travel (or straight traversal where it makes sense), unify the loot pools... And then expand it with a whole game's extra amount of content, please! Lol

This is how rereleased should work. They should never be full price imo. Plus, games drop in price pretty quickly. $20 off in a year is pretty standard for the majority of titles. Why are people acting like it's not normal or somehow unfair to first day buyers? This is dumb.

If it's a big Xbox game under development, it should be understood it's a matter of when it comes to PS5, not if.

@carlos82 If this isn't available as an emote/voice line, then I'm not sure what we're really doing here with this collab. Lol

@Jammer Fortnite is aimed at people who are interested in Fortnite.

There have been "adult" skins for years. Pulp Fiction, John Wick, Alien, Predator, Kill Bill, various horror franchises... it's very much an all ages affair and has been for a long time.

@Jammer Aww boo hoo the last commercial at a meaningless awards show full of commercials didn't put the commercial you wanted in the spot you wanted it to be in. Do you understand how ridiculous that sounds as a "good reason" to demean a product you've never played before? It's absurd.

I'm American. It's like if people got pissed at Super Bowl commercials being in the wrong order. It's so beyond ridiculous to even think about.

There is no good reason to roast this game in the way it has been. No one knows a damn thing about how it plays. I, personally, am super hyped for a game made by devs who created some of the most fluid and entertaining multiplayer titles in recent memory. Titanfall 2 is goated and Apex Legends is, if anything, one of the best-feeling FPS games on the market. The fact people don't want a game that may play just as smoothly with a new coat of paint, like... What?! How is that not at least something cool to look forward to?

Oh, sorry, people wanted Bloodborne 2 or some other big sequel. Yeah. Because THAT makes sense.

"I don't want more of the same of THIS. I want more of the same of THAT."

Our community is simply childish and toxic. Simple as.

@Mr_Singh That's already happening. There are many digital professions requiring its use. Mine included.

Everyone screaming about its use either doesn't understand it or is taking a very un-nuanced look at its use. It's a tool. Another software tool. That's it.

It can be used for good and it can be used poorly. Like any tool.

Sounds to me like the team here did what it set out to do: make sure man-made assets were used throughout the title. It removed those that were not. I don't see the problem here.

@Dalamar NFTs are a great example of a good, useful technology that was misunderstood (and misused) and whose benefits the world now frequently misses out on because of people who didn't understand it shrieking that it was evil or dumb.

If you don't think AI can be useful, or you think it's pure evil, or you think that it's not already deeply a part of many creative processes, you are a fool. It's here. It's being used whether you like it or not AND it can actually be very helpful, yes, even in creative enterprises.

It is, simply put, another tool in the toolbox for a vast number of creative industries and professional roles. Hell, its use is mandatory at many a software company.

Yes, it CAN be bad and dangerous, but it doesn't need to be nor is it so automatically. It can, and is, in fact a very powerful TOOL. (A knife cuts both ways, so they say.)

If anything, supremely early in the creative process IS where we should want it used, not later. We don't WANT it replacing full jobs or reaching production, surely. But if you think for one second there aren't artists the world over using it to help influence their creative ideation, you are literally a fool.

I say this as someone in software design who themselves is very hesitant about it. But even I know full well that it can be useful and is ever present whether I like it or not.

Anyone shrieking about its use does not understand it and/or doesn't work in a field where it has shown its usefulness.

Damn. I was really hoping this would be a real-time RPG. I simply cannot get into turn-based titles. Hope it's a banger for those that enjoy them!
