As people have pointed out this is dead on arrival. Whoever decided this was a good idea will inevitably not face any of the repercussions when this bombs catastrophically though.

YIPPEE

Also, the character designer is Rui Komatsuzaki, not Kazutaka Kodaka. Lots of Too Kyo Games staff working on this which is great to see, the new storyline is VERY appealing to me

These games are bangers and those poll voters are silly 😵‍💫

I CANNOT WAIT. I have hundreds of hours in Electronic Symphony. Better than Tetris tbh.

I’m not at all convinced of the mass market potential in the handheld, but I’m absolutely the kind of freak that wants it. Gimme!!

Oh, I was waiting for the physical print to grab this as it’s gotten glowing praise. I won’t be doing so now. I don’t care if “AI is here to stay”, I won’t be supporting it with my money.

Cosmic Shake was pretty good but not at the level of BFBB, so I’m optimistic. Surprised though because Purple Lamp just put out Epic Mickey Rebrushed at the end of last year and they don’t seem like a big studio.

This is absolutely a future Matt McMuscles “What Happened?” episode. I love me some bad games and this seems like it’s gonna tick the box.

Besides the hilarious slipup from Lowenthal this is disappointing. He really is Yosuke to me, it’ll be hard to hear a different voice there.

ACMI is awesome! They had a bunch of awesome concept art of environments from the first Hollow Knight and a bunch of awesome exhibits from Aussie made stuff like Untitled Goose Game, Memoir of a Snail and The Lego Movie.

Lmao at this being one of the few bits of info about Silksong in years tho

@GirlVersusGame can we get a video tour for this?? This is brilliant

Really been rooting for this game. The idea of a JRPG but with a western approach seems so obvious but it’s hard to think of many examples besides this one, from a new IP from a new studio no less. Can’t wait to grab this.

@Cutmastavictory we'll have to agree to disagree. I mentioned games that make me think of this one, but ultimately it's competing with every shooter where you can form a team with your friends on the market right now, and we have plenty of those that come out and proceed to fail.

I can totally see the logic for a Control multiplayer game, attracting the same audience as games like Phasmophobia or Left 4 Dead or Lethal Company or Dead by Daylight. I think it will do well with critics no matter what, but I think commercially it will either fall flat on its face (simply due to an overcrowded market) or explode like Helldivers 2.

This will definitely go down as one of the weakest PlayStation generations. The frequency of first party games is a real disappointment. Yeah yeah yadda yadda “industry is changing games are more expensive to make and graphics are better than ever” yeah sure… but we’re definitely hitting diminishing returns in terms of graphical fidelity at this point.

This looks amazing. Absolutely take my money. Anyone looking for more horror like this should definitely try Death Mark, it’s a visual novel so it’s not gameplay-heavy but it gives the gorgeous horrific art chance to shine.

Most anticipated game for me, it cannot come soon enough!! Really hoping this game does well.

“Drug use will be a core tenant of the game” great. Can’t wait for the Australian Classification Board to ban it because I’m not mature enough to choose what games I can play. Will inevitably be importing, like the vibe so far.

"Will people even be interested in the sequel to our game that sold 34 million copies?" is such an absurd question that could only come from the incompetency at WB. All they have to do is throw in Quidditch and it will print money

WB Games' fumbling streak continues. Thanks WB for patenting the nemesis system so no one can ever do anything interesting with it again 🙌🙌

Sims 2 is one of my favourite games, still playable on current PCs if you do a little bit of fiddling with it. Based on what we've heard so far this sounds very low effort, to the point that even calling it a remaster is a stretch, so I certainly don't expect console ports. Sims 2 with a platinum would be so targeted at me specifically that I might implode though.

An added layer to the absurdity of this is that their 2nd most recent game is Uncharted Golden Abyss, released in Feb 2012. In the 13 years since they've put out exactly one game, and won't have another until potentially 2030. Madness.

Gaming industry legend right there. Oversaw perhaps the best period PlayStation has had in producing creative, brilliant games. Will be missed (and tbh has been missed since he stepped down in 2019)

Not my favourite thing Harmonix has put out (RIP Fuser) but this is a good enough substitute for Rock Band and the songs getting added are great (new Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish this week!!)

@Jayslow as someone that just bought one during Black Friday that sounds like my worst nightmare!!

Screenshots kinda make it look more like fanservicey schlock but I will always trust in Uchikoshi. Can anyone that's played it confirm or challenge my suspicions?

@AinsleyE agreed completely on the marketing. I was quite disinterested in this game as fantasy settings don't really appeal to me but the glowing reviews came out so I bit the bullet and I don't regret a thing, the game is fantasic.

Will be replaying (and playing the DLC for the first time) with gyro. So so keen, I hope it becomes standard in the next few years, it's gamechanging.

Wish I had this tab but still not available in Australia yet 🥲

I only got a few hours into Disco Elysium before realizing the save I was playing was bugged. Never went back to it but I loved what I played. I don't mind devs chasing that game's brilliance because it is uniquely, singularly well done and more games in its same vein are welcome.

I worry that Festival is next, player counts for that mode are often quite low and the crossovers with big artists can't be cheap. It's a shame because the mode has SO much potential.

@jrt87 "actually the people who HAVEN'T played it are the more informed ones" is a wild hot take for you to make no matter how you slice it.

Glad there's hype in these comments for this gem. I cannot wait, this game was so underrated and underexposed when it came out here. This trailer also seems to confirm an English dub, unless it's only for the trailer? The game only released with subtitles if I remember correctly

Edit: an IGN preview has confirmed a dub but it's like a weird text-to-speech thing. It sounds a bit cool and faithful to the setting but also a bit of a red flag. The monkey's paw curls.

Give Mister Mosquito a platinum pleaaaase 🤞🤞

I get the mindset. This will be a crazy cool platinum to have in the collection in a couple years time. Doesn't reflect particularly well on the level of fun the game offers though.

@get2sammyb baffled that people seem okay with this removal. I don't even get your point. Like, I don't disagree that that is Sony's reasoning, that doesn't make it acceptable for customers of a service decreasing in quality and increasing in price.

HORIZON IS THEIR OWN GAME? Absolutely ridiculous.

What a lame decision. This entire remake's purpose should have been to create the definitive version of Persona 3 to save the tedious conversation of explaining the many different versions of the game to newcomers and people interested in starting the series. Instead, this game is just another point in that tedious conversation.

Amazing trailer. Loved loved loooved the different labels they gave to Mikami 😆 I'd buy it physically even if it was double the price tbh, here's hoping 🤞
Edit: lol just read the article in full. LRG is a no from me 🥲

I cannot wait. I really hope season 2 delivers because the first was fantastic. I completely trust these showrunners with the lore.

Game development is hard. I'm sure they tinkered with this initially because WB is WB, then fortunately decided to not implement it in the finished mode that'll come out later. Weird thing to not just come clean with though, seems MORE shady now that they're obviously lying about it.

I'M SO EXCITED THIS GAME SERIES IS DELIGHTFUL. I really really hope Amazon can keep the quality up to the standard set by Fallout.

Day one. Astro Bot deserves the world. Love that fella.

I think the author's misrepresenting the data here. The difference isn't $580 million to $731 million (that would be way too low for an entire consoles sales). The chart is saying that average spend per console is $580 in PS4 generation to $731 in PS5.

These guys have been directing homemade action films since they were kids and Talk to Me had FANTASTIC sound design. One of my favourite horror movies. Not a huge SF fan but I'd trust them completely with this if I were.

I feel like they wouldn't put marketing and budget into this if the game wasn't shaping up to be pretty great. Such a bizarre crossover but if whatever team is on it knows what they're doing, I'm sold.

I found this game randomly on Twitter or something recently and I liked the look of it so much I wishlisted it on PC (despite not owning a PC even remotely close to being able to run it). This is great news, this game looks incredible and I can't wait to try it!!

HELL YEAAAAAAAA. Day 1. Bought it on Switch when it came out but I just don't enjoy playing that old thing like I used to. Need it on PS5.

I understand the hate for the digital-only release but like... this game was worth ignoring that principle for me. Bought it on PC too just to show my support, it's so impeccably well made.

In shambles. Those poor, poor studios stuck under an incompetent, delusional publisher.
