@Jamesblob Dude woke up and chose violence lmao

PC version is much cheaper, has mod support, doesn't require payment for online and can even be pirated and yet PS/Naughty Dog feels the need to the do this?
Way to make the PS5 even more valueless than it already is, doesn't help that it barely has any true exclusives anymore. It's almost as if they WANT us to buy a PC.

Now I see why so many PS gamers dislike Jim/Herman and wants to see them out of office.

@ThorsHammer I thought the same thing too

@Westernwolf4 I agree

Looks cool although I would rather see gameplay.

@dogtanian69 Good thing I have a gaming pc to fall back on, that way we can both have fun! 😉

Jeez, this comment thread is a mess. As for what I think on the topic, I personally don't really care about Xbox owning ActiBlizz. COD stopped being my favorite FPS a long time ago.
My worries lie with Crash and Spyro being Xbox exclusives since those are the only games i like from Activision.

Cool news although tbh i'm more interested into Zenless Zone Zero

@mwatcher Ikr? Western commercials look very boring in comparison

Awesome! I do wonder how building will work in first person 🤔

Looks like fun

What's next:
Sly Cooper's cane found in Paris?
Spider-Man's webs found in New York?
Jin's Katana found in Japan?

Never played the original before, but this looks fun. Can't wait!

@neonpizza I don't think a pro console is coming, dude.

Talk about desperation

@Muse2007 Good question, I wanna know too.

Looks like it was ripped straight from the comics, looks sick! Keep my eye on it

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

"I think this shows that no matter what country or culture you make your game about, as long as you seriously study the topic and put your heart into it, there’s always a chance."

Truer words have never been spoken

After being slightly disappointed by Gotham Knights, I'm happy to see this game get positive reviews. Looking forward to it.

I bought it. It's alright. Not perfect but not terrible either.

Writer for When They Cry is making this? Now I'm hyped!

@AndyKazama I might be stretching here but I think PS is a lot less strict in terms of censorship, especially when you compare them to what they were back in 2019.

@Yupyupyup

I agree, let's just wait this out. Could be BS for all we know.

@Cherip-the-Ripper
"how exactly would that be horror then though?"

It honestly comes down to how the game is developed. I feel the reason most horror games go down the "playing as the victim" route is because it's much easier to scare the player.
Although that's true, playing as the killer can still be very disturbing, just not in the same way as playing as the victim.

Take the game "Feed me Billy" for example.
You're playing as a disturbed serial killer who goes out at night and kills people to feed some hole in your closet.

What makes this game very disturbing in my opinion is just how realistic it is. In this game, you're not killing bad guys like in Manhunt or monsters like in Splatterhouse, you're killing innocent people who you have never met before and has done nothing to you to justify their murder.

If you want to progress, you HAVE to kill these innocent people. The dialogue definitely doesn't make it any easier, which consists of them begging and crying for you to not kill them.

The whole experience was very disturbing to me and I wish to see more like it.

"Are you gunning for some kind of mental battle inside the killer's head or sth?"

No? 🤨

Since they're bringing back stuff from the past as collectibles, I wonder If they're gonna add the Crying Baby Doll from that Ps3 commercial? 🤔

@Juanalf I do agree that we need more SP horror game, but I do have one little gripe when it comes to single player horror games; we always play as the victim/survivor.

It's not that I hate playing as the victim/survivor, I honestly don't mind and it's definitely scarier. But it has been getting kind of repetitive as of lately. It seems every SP horror game uses the same formula:

Step 1: Walk around the (abandoned) hospital/insane asylum/woods etc. and get from point A to point B while searching for items.

Step 2: Meet the killer.

Step 3: Run and find a place to hide.

Step 4: When they leave; leave the hiding spot.

Step 5: Repeat the steps until you reach the end of the game.

The ending itself can also be pretty predictable, usually concluding with you escaping or killing the killer.

I'm a firm believer in the phrase "Variety is the spice of life" and I've had my fill with playing as the victim. I'd like to play as the killer for a change like in Carrion, Splatterhouse or (If it counts) Manhunt.

Can you imagine how cool it would be if they made SP Halloween game where, instead of playing as Laurie Strode, you played as Michael Myers?

Looks fun. I like the idea of constructing weapons or platforms to aid you in battle.

I honestly don't mind 🤷‍♂️

Nice to know XDEV is filling in Japan Studios' shoes.

@Grumblevolcano A showcase does seem likely, especially If you remember that PS working on a new AAA IP and will apparently be announced before October.

It's official; Stellar Blade is PlayStation's Bayonetta.

@Ssimsim I think so

Came in with low expectations, holy hell, this State of Play was awesome.

@SinfulDestroyer My sides hurt 😂😂😂

@Shstrick Same here, only go for plats If the game is very fun

Considering that this is one of my favorite childhood games, this hurts to read.

Well this is embarrassing ._.

@Kingleo31 I saw your original comment and I agree, people really need to wake up and realize they're a billion dollar corporation, they're not gonna do any favors for you If you defend them. If anything, it'll encourage them to keep pulling greedy decisions like this.

@Dudeman1 As a fan of PlayStation, I'll never understand dudes like you who keeps defending them when they've clearly messed up, this is nothing but pure, unfiltered greed and you're defending it.

If this isn't proof that Arrogant PS3 Sony is back then I don't know what is. Truly ridiculous.

NPC interaction is the only issue I have with this

Can't wait for this game to come out

@Martsmall Thanks for the info. That now leaves only Microsoft and Tencent. Here's hoping they leave Embracer alone.

I can't be the only one nervous over the possibility that Microsoft, Sony or Tencent will attempt to acquire Embracer Group? Imagine all those IP's, studios and games locked behind one platform. Gives me shudders just thinking about it.

Would be pretty cool if true.

I honestly don't care how long it takes, as long as the game is fun.

Maybe it's time to lower prices back to $60

@HeeHo I honestly blame Neil for that

@JSnow2 I agree. I kind of feel bad for the next CEO who has to clean up Jim's mess.
Edit: that's assuming they even care.
