"people bicker online about technicalities" yeah sounds about right. Sucks that the only thing people can all agree on is that the remake is NOT happening
I can't imagine it was a very strong week for games in the UK with South Park so high up. Shockingly decent result but I think word of mouth will hurt it.
I think I adore this? GameFAQs, but on your console is a very tantalising prospect.
Seems like a really awesome way to get Game Help supported for more games without taking up dev time and resources. Whether it'll actually be helpful depends on how effective the moderation is.
This is a better result for Unicorn Overlord than I was expecting honestly considering how niche it is. Also unfortunate to see that crazy Helldivers streak end where it kept increasing in sales week over week which is almost unheard of.
As a huge fan of Mm, I'm shocked they're still open. The only justification I could see is that Sony perhaps realized they have no other studios left making family friendly games besides them and kinda sorta Insomniac. I hope their next game is huge because they absolutely have the potential and talent, it seems like they just need better direction.
One of my favourite games ever but all these choices seem ridiculous lol. The cinematography in the game was excellent, and a massive contributor of atmosphere so making it 3rd person could harm that a lot. Also an absurd amount of work to "recreate" what was already a gorgeous game, what, did the Decima engine not produce good enough visuals? Pfft hahah. Very cautious about this one.
QA went down the toilet with the series as soon as the proper THQ went under. SR4 and Gat out of Hell were good but the bugs and jank and lack of polish was obvious, something that they seemingly couldn't shake for the reboot. Hope this new studio actually makes something to the quality standards that the series and games like it deserve.
It's so weird to me that this series WAS a triple A, big budget affair led by a team in their prime and then so soon after it just... Wasn't. It's shocking GTA hasn't really had a genuine competitor in the gap between 5 and 6. Big hopes for this new studio as a lifelong SR fan 😅
First game had mid gameplay and didn't really do as much as I'd have enjoyed with its concept but the sequel is spectacular. I'm a little worried for Remedy as the game seems destined to be niche as it's a phenomenally weird experience, but with the Game Awards wins under its belt and the inevitable physical collector's version down the line (that I'll be a sucker for day 1) I think it'll have some solid legs, just as Control did after its commercially soft release.
Death Mark 1 and NG (the second Spirit Hunter game that was released between the first and this second game) are fantastic games. Hope this series gets the attention Danganronpa and Zero Escape get from VN fans because they really deserve it. This is seriously one of the best visual novel series out there.
Gravity Rush soundtrack SLAPS. Freedom Wars was weird too. I think most surprising was seeing the Rule of Rose soundtrack on there though, haven't thought about that game in years.
Will buy the game the day the Rina costume is out to show my support. Love herrrrr. Of all the popstars to get this kind of PlayStation promo there's so many bigger names out there, but I love that they chose her bc it feels tailored exactly to me specifically.
I think I'll wait for them to put out the version including Portable and FES content so that there's actually a definitive version finally. Hope P4G gets the remake treatment next though.
Twas alright, not great and not really as good as Rehydrated, but I respected the attempt. Short enough to be a good break between bigger games too so I might get the platinum again.
Reading online discourse about this makes it so obvious who actually plays Overwatch lol. They just put out an update that's got more content than the base Overwatch 2 had. Absolutely fantastic stuff. Not everything's a hit in it (Flashpoint isn't very fun in my opinion) but this season seriously feels like they're swinging for the fences. New character's great, PVE is really fun (although the lack of skill trees obviously stings) and the game is just in a better state than it's ever been. They're turning it all around right now, pulling a No Man's Sky, but everyone's obsessed with the "Overwatch bad" narrative right now that they forgot to actually look at the game.
Blizzard sucks, without a doubt. The monetization is yuck. But being a player of Overwatch is GREAT right now.
The lack of a PC port is egregious but tbh i'm satisfied with this. Will grab on sale. Wouldn't be surprised if they were doing this to satisfy hardcore fans and then in 2 years time this will get delisted in favour of a terrible remaster.
The PlayStation Access video covering the update I think reveals more than it should, with the description mentioning Killzone Liberation and Worms for PS1 for Premium/Deluxe
Title of the article has a typo. Should be Trails and Tales. I kind of feel like Minecraft is being stuffed with content it doesn't really need for the sake of keeping players hooked but I guess it's nice to still see it being supported.
@KidRyan Yeah it'll end up getting a Limited Run/fangamer release for sure, it's just really sad a game from a studio of this calibre and quality has to go through that route. Remedy is such a great studio, they deserve better!
That sliding design on it looks kinda flimsy, kinda wish it was just a lid, but i'll probably be grabbing them because AirPods aren't supported on PS5 :c
Really surprising considering how little Premium offers. I doubt they'll share how much Premium subscriptions drop off after the first 12 months but I'd be fascinated to find out.
Saw her in Sydney in January! Stirred up so much energy in the room, adore her so much. Now we just have to find out her Persona waifu and we're all set 🤪
Played Code Vein for like 15-20 hours I think. It's really good but there's one particular level so awful it stopped me from playing. Have yet to return but the game was awesome up until that point lol.
This game will underperform and then they'll put it on PlayStation and probably Game Pass at the same time or afterwards. Love love love Danganronpa but it feels obvious to me that this game won't set the world on fire.
@ShogunRok I mean that was my understanding, totally anecdotal. Mostly YouTube comments, some pretty clickbaity YouTube clips and some Facebook groups I'm in. My only complaint would be that they didn't get to remix some Royal or Strikers tracks as they weren't out yet, but I totally agree that the ones we have are wonderful!
Was just giving my Persona playlist a listen the other day for the first time in a while. A lot of fans rip on the P5D soundtrack but I think it had some awesome remixes tbh
Shoutout to Gamers™️ who will inevitably be totally against this for no reason. Guillemot's comment was ridiculous and tone-deaf. Fight for better conditions always.
I was so bitter toward this game before it came out (those previews really did look dreadful) but I was blown away by how much I enjoyed this when I got it in my hands. Got the platinum on both PS4 and PS5 I was enjoying it so much. I really hope they continue down this path and don't just throw it all away for the next game as I think they've got a winning formula here.
