What I liked about that trailer was when the lead character ran thru a village that had "GASP" actual other NPC's walking around! Normally you don't see any of that as its usually just a gauntlet run' through some "Skeleton-Warriors" to the next Boss Fight in most of these games. I'm actually looking forward to this one. Hope it does well upon release.
Nice, they implemented a "Jump" mechanic as well! Always seemed like that was a move that was sorely missing from the last 2 entries. Can't wait for that Demo. Probably my most anticipated Game for 2026.
Inexperience in Live Service games doesn't mean you should never try imo. Sure, it's a costly mistake but learn from it and improve on it. The "bones" of a good game was there with Anthem, and I thought the flying parts were excellent. No one sets out with a "Hey' Team, let's make a crummy game today." Stuff happens.
Unfortunately for some, A.I. will be the norm' for these Companies going forward imo.
The same way " Practical Effects" were replaced with CGI in Movies and Hand Drawn Cell Animation.
Watched John Carpenter's "The Thing" and "Silent Mobius - The Movie Animation" yesterday and though they don't make them like that anymore.
@MFTWrecks LMAO The fact that a game ("Scarface", no less) let you attack people with a Chainsaw on a Nintendo Console has made me realize that I can't possibly be on "Main-Line Earth" and must be on an alternate Earth!!!
Destiny 2 is pretty much just a "Virtual Hangout Spot" to Chat with your peeps and shoot stuff now. There hasn't been any meaningful content in quite a while. The Developers fix one thing then screw up what didn't need fixing in the first place.
And honestly, how many "Jade Rabbits" & "Lucky Pants" do you need?!!? The whole game needs a refresh.
You're absolutely right, though. And that only makes it worse because now the developers lose a sale as well. My purchase was based on PS's "Glowing Response"! I'm old enough that I was able to play it when it originally came out but was really looking forward to this new release. And they can delete the Post if they wish, it's already been said. So much for "Journalistic Integrity" then.

@nhSnork You're absolutely right. To create a new I.P., you need to break some eggs!

So, in 2025 the public has learned to use 2 words completely incorrect. "WOKE" & "AI", put this year to bed; it's drunk.

@ElectricWizard - Ah', understood.
Re: PS Portal Gets So Much Better Today in Huge UI, Cloud Streaming Update
@ElectricWizard - Actually it kind of is as you can play a different Game on it even if your PS5 Console is currently in use somewhere else.

Until PSN adds the "Saint Seiya" games to its PS5 lineup, my PS4 is going to be always nearby! Heck, I'm still rocking my PS3 for those games!

Re: Metal Gear Solid Delta Patch Promised, But No Mention of PS5 Performance Improvements
I don’t understand, this is totally contradictory to the review this site gave. Right down to mentioning this won’t be another “Oblivion” situation.
What’s up with that?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 595
