If this effects Rocket League I'm going to be so po'd.

The next best thing to a 3D Sonic... Like a slap in the face?

What's with indie 3D platformer devs beating a dead horse with the one IP they put out? The Yookalaylee dev released there's so much they're apparently nearly out of business and how many goes have the Lucky's Tale guys had at the one or two games? I really don't get the business model.

Good riddance.

Or the fans just follow the lore more seriously than the game designers...

@Czar_Khastik Haha. I loved your work at Betheseda. Good to see you're still putting those skills to good use.

They look hideous imo.

Why are they playing the victim? It's pretty off putting.

I think it's almost literally "a buck" for me in Australia. I think it's cheaper here because we don't get any of the streaming classics.

They lost so much of my interest with that Kravitz stunt casting.

Looks great. Love the art direction.

Yeah, I think I heard it just last week on Jeff Gerstmans podcast. He didn't go into huge detail. From memory he was emphasising how weird expectations can be. He might have been recalling back to the original trilogy as well, again, it was an aside and not very detailed. Those later numbers seem pretty healthy though for sure.

It's kind of hard to call. I think a new Uncharted would do well but maybe in their minds they're thinking one; who will make it? Two; will they be able to make something that lives up to the IP's legacy? And three; how much will it cost? The AAA landscape is so drastically different now. The costs are huge and seemingly things have changed now but up until recently Sony was fixated on that live game money, rather than the modest roi you get from a single player game.

It could simply be that they will get there with Uncharted but it's just taking them time to move the boat around after they've recently changed strategies. It is a very big boat.

Everyone did. And Jaffe is still an insufferable so and so.

I find it pretty disgusting that they can fold a studio one week and start a hiring spree the next. I understand studios are located in different places and there's no doubt many other factors but in my mind these jobs should have been offered to the employees that were recently made redundant and could fill the positions. Perhaps it wouldn't be as efficient and would come with downsides but idk, they're your employees. Maybe try and look out for them...

It's honestly scary to me how little humanity exists in the corporate world.

Didn't Uncharted sales always kind of disappoint Sony? Not in the sense they were bad, clearly they weren't because they made a few of them. More in the greedy corporate sense. The sales were good but not blowing their socks off basically.

Essentially it was a tent poll series for them and the PS3 at a time they didn't have many of those (and still had competition). They've since come up with a handful of viable IP's and there's not much competition hardware wise. Perhaps they just don't think the roi will be great enough for Uncharted given the cost of such a game and yeah, they don't really need software to sell PS5s do they? They kind of just sell.

@James_42 oh, my bad. That's pretty cool than. Ty for thr correction.

Who knew releasing 80% rubbish was a bad business model...

An annual golf game that's about to be superseded and an MMO with none of the years of dlc...

Oh well Slime Rancher 2 is a good get.

This company is weird. They're capable of getting good games out but so much of their output is utter trash.

I'll believe it when I see it. One of my biggest gripes with the game is how they have you spinning a wheel to win a porche or hundreds of thousands of credits every time you boot up the game. Completely destroys any sense of progression when cars are handed out like they come in gum ball machines.

No, it's the children who are wrong...

Why would anyone want yet another standard Sony 3rd person action game? So boring.

Remake? Idk if I like the idea of that. I really do not care for the Norse GoW gameplay. I mean it's fine, but it's not GoW to me.

Graphical remake but the same game underneath? Count me hyped.

Very cool. Hope they do a Rayan 2 version in the future.

Nearly bought Monster Hunter Stories a few times. Good get.

Anyone familiar with them, are both worth playing or should I just do the second and maybe play the first if I feel like more?

Oh wow. Literally just started Diablo 2. Didn't think there'd be new characters coming to it lol.

Oh, that's cool. Spider-Man is a great get obviously but I've also wanted to play Test Drive. I've heard it's a bit rubbish though so haven't been willing to put down money to play it.

Man, getting hit with some serious fomo here. Yakuza 3 was the first I played in the series so I'd like to have it (on a system I have plugged in). They really should have given a good discount on it at minimum before they put it out to pasture. All the other ones are 50% off atm. Why not just put it in the Feb sale and then kill it. Obviously they shouldn't take it off the store at all but we're not winning that battle.

Will probably give in. Annoying but what can you do. I presume all our current stuff will be playable on the next system so at least I won't be stuck with only having it on PS3.

It's a sad testament to the state of the industry that some palette swaps have to be singled out and confirmed to be free in an update.

Not hating. It's great they're not money grabbing on the most rudimentary changes. Good for them. Tbh it seems like the kind of game that can be easily monetised in ways that offer value to consumers. More characters and levels etc. That they're not selling colour swaps is a good sign that potential dlc may actually be substantial which is cool.

Just SNES and NES titles is a bit disappointing. Still, I'm a sucker for these collections.

Love the two cartoons but if I want to play the games I'll just boot up an emulator. Most licenced games were rubbish back then.

Man, that fits one was dreadful. Didn't have it in me to play the others. No accounting for taste, I guess.

5 years? My God how time flies.

Soul Calibur!!! Awesome.

Well they couldn't get worse without becoming wired controllers.

I had it in my head Red Dead was coming to PS plus. I thought it was already on PS5. Is it a free upgrade if you have the PS4 version? That's on sale atm, might have to grab it.

Edit: it is coming to PS plus. Am I going crazy or is that not made clear on this page?

It's Nacon. Trash is their speciality so I'm not really surprised it's rubbish.

Oh, that's awesome. Haven't played it since back in the day. Does the remaster have the zombie dlc?

I mean when has Ubisoft ever learned from their mistakes?

Had Pacific Drive on my wish list so that's cool. Thank Goodness you're here looks like a perfect plus game too.

@TheFakulty That's exactly what I was thinking. As someone that doesn't care for BR I'm not a fan of the move. Maybe 12 months after the BF6 launch or something but not this soon.

Awful decision. Just completely took away my enthusiasm for the game.

I played it and really didn't get the hype. Lots of people were singing it's praises though but it's a crowded market to break into. Why would anyone choose this game over any other? For a couple of weekends while the game is hot, sure, but what's there to keep them coming back? They were naive if they thought they wouldn't have to do something special to maintain people's interest over established titles and the next new game.

I could, but I won't. Excuse me while I deploy my golden parachute...

Do they own the Driver IP or did Infogrames just publish it back in the day? That's a series that needs a reboot.

No idea what relationship these two things have tbh. Seems like they're clutching at straws and trying to guilt people into forgetting their thin skinned response.

If people can get away with making "adult documentaries" based on some of the biggest ip's out there I highly doubt this dude is going to get much love.

Did the UI guy at Atlus quit a decade ago and they just keep using his stuff or does he have the same work ethic as I do? /jk

Not a big Persona guy but really liked the look of this one. Liked the look of most of the Personas too until I play them and realise it's just not my thing though so we'll see how it goes. Maybe a different theme is what I need to get me into their stuff.

R*'s lawyers would no doubt sign off on stuff like this these days given how many people that have tried to sue them.

My God Ubisoft have no idea sometimes.
