Awesome. Really good game. If you're curious about the game it's worth checking out. It's not one of those cheap feeling "sim" games some devs churn out. It's not AAA either so the mission structure is pretty simple with no bells and whistles. Deliver this here. Find this vehicle. Reach this tower etc. but the gameplay itself is really satisfying and there's a lot of vehicles and locations to unlock and season passes with even more content if you want more.

@Toypop I agree. It's not zen like Euro/American truck sim. There's a lot more tension. The second you get complacent you're likely to accidentally roll your truck..

I wish those games were on consoles too. There is one or two but none look as well made as the Euro/American truck sim games. They must be leaving a lot of money on the table not porting them. I'm sure they have there reasons though.

@AdamNovice Have Pushsquare hired you as a tag line writer yet? Lol.

Wow. Really didn't expect that. Very disappointing for fans.

@twitchtvpat @Robinsad yeah, very true. If there's one thing we've learned in the recent past it's that it's probably best for companies to play their cards close to their chest.

@sanderson72 I assume it was a typo and they meant PS3 given the rest of the comment.

If they're working on it I have no idea why they didn't announce it with the subscription reshuffle. That said they clearly thought they could reshuffle their current services and act like it was a new service and people would be excited. Seems like they may just be completely out of touch.

Information so vague it's pointless.

People sleeping on Slay the Spire don't know what they're missing. Incredible game.

They're going to have to offer a lot of value to get me to pay more than I already do. I have Gamepass and am really happy with that service. Given Sony's attitude with first party game prices and next gen upgrades etc. I doubt they'll come close. I highly doubt they'll even offer year old games like Returnal on a service, much less launch massive AAA games on the service like MS does.

I'd love to be proven wrong though as the PS5 is my preferred console.

Could they potentially be planning to port the game to unreal 5? No idea if that sort of thing is feasible but if it is that could explain their wording. The first expansion is already deep in development and will come out for the current red engine version and the second will drop when the port is done.

Or maybe they feel they've damaged their reputation so much already that it doesn't matter if they don't deliver on their promises a second time.

More borderlands but now based around one of the most annoying character ever? Yeah, I'll pass.

@Titntin Yeah, it's not that I can't afford it, I can. It just puts it a bit above that impulse level price if I'm not 100% sold on the game. Then by the time they're on sale the game is a bit older but the sale price is around where my mind still is for a full priced game. And even if didn't mind that they upped the price a bit but here in Australia it's a full 25% increase. Non 1st party Sony games are $100AUD. The PS5 Sony games are $125. It's a pretty steep jump. Other companies happily giving away next gen upgrades and keeping the same RRP (to sell more MTX I'm sure) doesn't help either. It all leaves me less inclined to reward Sony personally.

I also have an XBSX with Gamepass so I'm kind of spoiled for games. I'm usually just as happy to play whatever fun indie game was just put on Gamepass as I am anything else. I do really like both next gen systems though. They can look very pretty and the SSD load times are a godsend. Really looking forward to seeing what we get when current gen is the full focus and devs have learned how to get everything out of them.

@Titntin Exactly. Ninja games in various iterations have been a big part of gaming since at least the NES. Should Tenchu not exist because it steps on Ninja Gaidens toes? Don't get me started on that 16bit upstart "Strider".

And some games have even more or less "created" genres. If people didn't take inspiration from them the industry would be barren. Doom is the best example. Obviously not the first fps and even Wolfenstein had its copy cats but Doom was the game that made fps an integral genre in the industry. There's no CoDs or Halos without it.

Street Fighter 2 had a similar effect on fighting games. Should Tekken or MK not exist because we already have a 2v2 fighter? That'd be a sad world.

The problem is that PS5 barely has any defining games. I've played a bunch of games on it don't get me wrong but they're mostly just multi-platform games that play the same on XBSX or PC. Many of the first party games are also on PS4 and. Out of the few PS5 exclusives I've only really played Astros Playroom and R&C. Astros was an extraordinary introduction to the systems features. R&C was another fun R&C game. None of the couple other exclusives have tempted me enough to pay the ridiculous $125 price tag first party Sony games have here in Australia. Even in PSN sales they're still $90+. So ask me how good returnal is once it's hit $50 on PSN.

I do really like the PS5. It's just a shame that it feels like the slowest starting generation ever.

@MakersMark Nobody is getting hoodwinked. You're just acting melodramatic (and that's the nice way to put it). It's literally a completely different genre. Again, there can be more than 1 samurai game...

Also, don't call me your "friend". You started out by saying I'm part of a "coven" (lol, okay) and am somehow getting "duped" because I'm not having conniptions over 2 games sharing a theme like you are. Don't be two faced. If you're going to talk down to people own it.

@MakersMark Do you think Ghosts has a copyright on samurai games? They're not even the same genre by the looks of it. The game in the state of play is a 2.5D side scrolling action game.

Says a lot when that's the best in show...

"You’ll find Hagerty branding all over the virtual dealership that houses"

Well there's your answer.

@PegasusActual93 Well maybe this alternate reality game wasn't made in 98? Artistic license and all that.

It's a short video to tickle people's nostalgia, not an accurate depiction of the systems capabilities. Personally I think it makes way more sense to aim for what we imagine they looked like when we played them back then. What does it matter what a late 90s PS1 game looks like with an upscaled resolution via emulation when the memories people have are playing PS1 on a 50cm CRT? Speaking of memories, people remember the awesome looking games like Tekken 3 and Vagrant Story as well as games from before the graphics got impressive that were little more than a janky mess of triangles.

I think their yearly development cycle and focus on MTX is a much bigger impediment but sure, blame the brand.

Well, that's a lot better than the initial leak. Pretty fantastic line up.

Yeah, not really interested in managing the current WWE roster tbh.

Konami please.

Cool, will give it a shot.

Waiting until a sale. I was going to pick it up but the combat looks very samey and February is a big month.

12/15 but a couple were straight up guesses. Who remembers the names of GTAIV girlfriends and how many Nightmare Creatures games there were on PS1 (I'm literally blanking on the series. Don't know if I've ever heard of it.)? Some were really easy though like the genre of Black, PS2 memory card capacity and the name of EA's engine.

Really going out on a limb with that one...

[X] Doubt

They missed their chance with me anyway.

Hopefully if it comes back it has a different art style.

Brands pay for this right? Can't imagine Monopoly deciding to do anything with a brand well past its peak.

That was really awesome.

@Gremio108 I don't know if they should even be allowed near something as sharp as a blu ray disc in the first place.

@BritneyfR_ee Yeah, Sony has never put cash on the table for exclusives... MS certainly didn't honour just such an agreement Bethesda had with them for Deathloop.

It has a monopoly? Playstation exists. Nintendo exists. Numerous major third party publishers exist. They will all continue to coexist with MS in the market. In what world could you say Xbox has a "monopoly"?

Looks good. On my radar now for sure.

After spending 80 odd hours beating the vanilla game when it came out I have less than zero interest in playing the game again.

Noice. Will get me a purple one.

Lol. Might have been better if they didn't release a steaming turd before announcing this...

Can you download now games? Not really interested in streaming them.

They must be pretty sweaty atm with the large downward trend in sales the series has been seeing in the last couple of instalments.

Buy it again for the 5th time!? Don't be ab... of course I did. Got the upgrade. Started a new game. Had wanted to for ages but decided to wait for this. Enjoying myself as usual. Might actually finish the main quest for once...

Bought the upgrade. Started after work but only got to the sleeping bear part in the intro because I'm a bit tired. Looking forward to experiencing all the creation stuff. I used the back pack one and a pet one when I played the last version but not much else. Using the survival mode should make the game feel pretty different.

Lord knows they have to save where they can. Poor little independent studio 🙄

Just what absolutely nobody asked for.

Love it when devs have to ad incredibly obvious things in games that should have been in the game at launch. It's such a ridiculous example of pointlessly gatekeeping the way people play their game too.

Out of all the GTA's IV is by far the version I'm least interested in ever playing again. Have never felt the desire to play it again since I beat the expansions.

I'm at the point now that by the time a GT is finally released I'm not even that interested. Especially with the weird not really a full game stuff they put out. The way they "hype" the game does nothing for me either. It reminds me of SSB in way. The designer talks about stuff as if the only people that exist are die hard fans that drool over the smallest bit of mind numbingly boring information. I guess it's hard to make GT look overly exciting though tbf.

Played it on Xbox with game pass when it came out. Thought it was pretty boring myself. Not sure what people see in it really. If I was a fan of the game I wouldn't compare it to Rocket League as it won't be a favourable comparison imo. Rocket League feels like playing a legitimate sport. It doesn't need successful alternate modes (and hoops and drop shot in RL are great anyway). To me rocket league is all about fluid, precise control mixed with hitting the ball at the right angles like pool shots, it's all about the physics. There's no running around and pressing lock on to throw dodge balls in what is ultimately a slow paced 3rd person shooter. It's a pretty poor comparison really. Surely it's much more like Splatoon. It doesn't hold up to that though either...

The ammount of times EA has given this away in one way or another since launch is also weird af. No idea why they don't just go straight free to play.

I'll stick to Rocket League for my MP fix.

If he really wanted to do something useful he could stop being a media personality.

@KippDynamite That's not how it works. At all. They've not put 10 years of full-time development into making Skyrim ports. We haven't got a new TES because they've focused on other IP's.

@frankmcma 11/11 I assume.
