Monster Hunter Wilds on't PS5 and a lil Honkai Star Rail because I'm still not caught up.

@themightyant for me it was similar to most Bethesda games - Solid gaming comfort food, like a fairly cheap plate of bangers and mash.

Small team, small budget... and it depends on when a publisher gets involved and who the publisher is and how they contribute.

E33 is an indie, but it is also AA.

My brain sees a t-pose and instantly growls "broken game" at me... Even when it's supposed to be a feature.

Jesus wept! Next year is so gods damned stacked.

@AndyKazama chasing the high of Nioh 2 has made it so very hard to love other similar games. With Wo Long and RoTR they just felt like they were missing something. I'm hopeful for Nioh 3 but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried as well.

I am STILL playing catch-up with Honkers!

If Royal mail pull their finger out I have a cheap copy of Monster Hunter Wilds for PS5 on the way seeing as the PC version still runs like ass on my PC, so if that arrives I'll be turning some not-dinos into some fancy pants!

I would've appreciated more awards as always.

But as for announcements? Banging crop for me! Stuff to be excited for in the far future and a few things for next year as well... For me the two big ones were Tomb Raider and Control (2?) Resonant... What's Jessie up to? But yeah, two new outings for my girl Lara? Stoked!

ALSO! I have no played the Pragmata demo!!! Still don't believe it is real, though.

I've been dancing around ReLink forever and now I no longer have to!

The When question needs to have an 'At launch on PC' option

When I first played it, it was a dumpster fire, then I gave it a second chance when Phantom Liberty launched and it was fantastic.

Old Man Leon... I say knowing full well he is only a few years older than me.

I'm quite looking forward to this, even though my plate is going to be so full it runs over post crimbo and with Nioh 3 staring me in the face whilst teasing my tonfa...

@Oram77 I started a replay of the 2013 game recently and it still holds up. I wonder if we'll be getting more Camilla voiced Lara.

Never thought we'd see the dissolution of EA, but it is looking more and more likely. Hopefully someone cool buys BioWare and their IP!

As usual I'll watch this the day after, I'm much too old and set in my routine to stay up that late.

Luckily I'm home all day Friday so I can enjoy at my leisure.

@McBurn I'm guessing by 'single player' you mean a bog standard £60 game? If so, it'll never happen. They have their monetisation model firmly established and it works really well for them.

If, however, you've been misinformed or got the wrong idea entirely, Honkai Star Rail is single player and can be fully enjoyed 100% free.

This looks rad, but like @Hyena_socks said, something feels off. It could just be that the gameplay looks ever so slightly janky, but yeah, got my eye on this one.

I might just be my exhausted brain but Grace looks... different... in that image.

@Americansamurai1 that is a really good shout, it could be Darksiders!

I wonder if I'm finally gonna get the third person action RPG set in the Diablo universe that I've been wanting for more than a decade... A game like Nioh, but on Sanctuary would make me incredibly moist.

@themightyant I wonder if they intend for a more Mass-Effectian approach to a trilogy where the differences are minimal and the whole lot flows better.

I am in full catch-up mode with Honkers at the moment.

@johncalmc my guess is she has three tits and the one we can't see is the same size as the smaller one... Think Total Recall, but... better? No, blimpier!

@Jammer They might, it'd be the simplest one to do production-wise. Personally I hope they do their own thing.

@Jammer Each season will be its own story, bit like American Horror Story.

So, it's going to be cross-gen, right?

Good thing that there is no shortage of excellent games to play, both upcoming and clogging the backlog.

I was going to start Phantom Liberty in my CP2077 platinum playthrough on PS5... However Song Bird's call never came and after a little investigating it turned out the code I had received with my Ultimate Edition was for the wrong region. So I've finagled a full refund from Amazon and when the moneys re-renters my account I'm going to buy it again but probably digitally.

In the meantime I am going to play some Honkai, do some catching up and chill. I might also play some Where Winds Meet.

It's a shame this won't be a full priced normal SP game, because it would do serious numbers. Buuuut I'll end up playing it anyways, at least until the initial launch's content runs dry and then I'll evaluate if it gets added to the Betwixt Games roster of F2P games I play between full priced jaunts.

It was a strangely enjoyable game on PC. Who hasn't day dreamed about digging a massive hole in their back garden?

I'm going to give Where Winds Meet a go, I'm always open to some wuxia hijinks. On top of that I'll be continuing my Cyberpunk platinum run.

Depending on the price I can see me getting one to play my Steam library on the big tv downstairs, but it'd be something that works alongside my consoles rather than replace them.

Scratch what I said before, won't be touching this with a 100ft pole.

I don't think we see Horizon 3 until the PS6 launch, I'd like to see it sooner, but my gut says otherwise.

The home grown Horizon Online game, I think we see a trailer at the game awards with a release at the backend of next year.

As for this MMO? I'm willing to give it a fair shake even though I'd prefer PC/console first for its design rather than the ropey mobile method.

It's free-to-play, I have a reasonably beefy PC... I'll give it a fair shake. I would've preferred it on console and definitely not mobile first. I do hope the PC version has decent gamepad controls (it'd be funny if it had full Dualsense compatibility).

I saw elsewhere someone reporting it as if it was from the team behind Guild Wars 2, which it isn't, but it did remind me that there is a new GW2 expansion I need to gaze upon wistfully.

I still haven't picked up Nightreign, it's antithetical to how I play FromSoft games, slow and methodically poking at every corner. Same with Duskbloods, it being a battle royal is really disappointing and if it had been a single player PvE game would be a reason to upgrade to a Switch 2.

Whilst I'm still looking forward to this it is getting a bit daft now.

I'm really looking forward to getting into this once the whole package is out, should be a fun thing to binge over a weekend.

@Ainu20 this is what's currently stopping me from jumping in to what looks like a fun game. I'd love to see an interview putting the question of compensating VAs to both the actors and the developers.

I don't play MP games on PlayStation precisely because I'd have to pay. I usually only buy a month of PS+ at a time and usually so i can play through games added to the catalogue.

I've been replaying Signalis... for the fourth time. It's just a really good romantic tragedy wrapped up in cosmic horror and has become a part of my Halloween tradition.

I will do eventually, I'm in no rush so I'll probably wait until all the dlc is out and then pick it up.

I'm honestly not sure yet. I platinumed Ghost of Yotei the other day and now I'm in that post great game blues. I'll probably end up poking at Honkai and FFXI

It's on the list, back to the backlog now I've Platinumed Yotei... Well back to the spoopy games, some of which I've already played before THEN back to the backlog.

Same as last week - Ghost of Yotei and Final Fantasy XI

I was tempted to download the Arc Raiders server smash, but none of my usual cohort are available and doing any form of PVP solo is my idea of a bad time.

I'm hoping we at least get some really gnarly flashbacks to the Farro Plague.

Filming starting in 2026 and then releasing the following year doesn't seem long enough for what will be an effects heavy film. I'm dubious but I'll hold back judgment until I see it.

I'm fully expecting the PS6 reveal to open or close with BluePoint's Bloodborne, it's safe and it'd work wonderfully to show off all the new graphics tech.

I'd prefer them to do their own new IP or resurrect some much older franchise, but i also wouldn't kick UHD Eileen out of bed either.

I should point out that 'Duellum' is an actual Latin word for war or combat between two contestants (it's where the word duel comes from, duh!), so not dumb, but very pretentious.

I am so far behind with Genshin... and Honkers for that matter, usually I'd play one or the other between big releases but I've been going from one big game to another this last year and hardly any time for either.

Ghost of Yotei, making good progress and having a wonderful time exploring Edo with Atsu and Wolf.

I'm also going to be settling down to listen to the first episode of Critical Roles new campaign whilst I bimble around Final Fantasy XI, merit point farming and doing some gear upgrading.

If the campaign was meatier I'd be tempted, but as it is I wouldn't get my monies' worth

Nintendo are going to have a field day, because that isn't just inspired by it is a carbon copy of AC.
