@nessisonett 100%, I’ve always wanted a gritty urban game with a UK setting in recent years. The Getaway 3 should have been it but God only knows what’s happened with that.
I’ve always wanted a gritty/urban game set in the UK, especially in London with a ‘roadman’ type of vibe. Hopefully this has some potential which then prompts another developer to make a full scale game. The only ones that delivered were The Getaway 1 and 2, nothing since then has had the same type of setting. Watch Dogs Legion had potential but fell short in my opinion.
I’m actually surprised that Sony allowed these original PSN avatars to remain all these years, so happy and glad as it just strikes the good old 2008 / 2009 nostalgia. As long as they don’t remove them I’m happy. Saying that however, I do have some really good PS3 ones that I had bought, and it would be really stupid of Sony to remove them all for the sake of ‘We’re Sony and we can do whatever we like.’
Thank goodness it’s a single player and not another one of those ‘asymmetrical’ horrors. Cannot wait for this one, 2025/2026 have been killing it with the game announcements.
@Muscleblackcop What nonsense are you barking or regurgitating? Who is “ya’ll”? Spoken like some underdeveloped person that seems to have categorised me as part of some collective all because I said the original Until Dawn holds up fine and doesn’t need a sequel. EDIT: Just noticed reading comprehension isn’t quite there for you either as another user had referred to the remake being made in the past and then you questioned it as if they were speaking in future tense… yikes.
Man!!!!!!……. I really got my hopes sooooo high with that Forbidden Siren image. Why!? I loved the Forbidden Siren games so much and would have loved another entry haha. I honestly got so excited seeing that image thinking a new title was being announced. But regarding Until Dawn, I personally think it doesn’t need a sequel, the original/remake hold up perfectly.
I have always had a deep appreciation for Goosebumps growing up. It was one of those formative series that managed to blend horror with imagination in a way that really stuck with you as a kid. That said, when it comes to a game adaptation, I would be far more interested in something that pushes the envelope a bit more in terms of psychological horror, something darker, more intense, and unsettling.
While it is clear that Goosebumps is primarily targeted at a younger audience, there is no denying that some episodes genuinely left a lasting impression. Many of us can probably still recall the chilling intro sequence or that bizarre glowing eyed dog that set the tone right away. Despite being made for children, it was not afraid to tread into eerie territory and that is exactly the kind of energy I would love to see channeled into a game.
Of course, it is unlikely they would ever release a Goosebumps game rated 18 plus, but a version aimed at a slightly older audience, say 16 plus, could strike a great balance. It could retain the essence of the original series while delivering a deeper, more unsettling experience. While I could still see myself enjoying a more kid friendly adaptation, there is no question the overall scare factor has been dialed down over the years.
That is why I think there is a real opportunity here to explore a more mature, suspense driven take on the world of Goosebumps, something that honors what made it so memorable but evolves with its original audience.
Man, I hope this is true. I’d prefer Sony to have Mortal Kombat over Warner Bros any day, only because I would LOVE to start seeing some Sony/Playstation exclusive characters as guest/DLC characters in the next MK games. Just imagine if current version of Kratos was brought back in and they added alongside someone like Jin Sakai haha. I heavily doubt it though as MK is a multi-platform title and couldn’t see Sony allowing Xbox players being able to use the characters.
@Bionic-Spencer 100% agreed, it was the exact same for me. I really loved the first one back when I played it in 2011, however the second one just didn't hit it for me. Despite that, I still completed the game but there was never really a moment where it felt mind-blowing or exciting enough as it had just got to a point where I wanted it over and done with. However a few years after that, seeing lots of videos about it such as the detail in the world as well as other appreciation/praise of the game has really made me want to play it again and perhaps hope for a different feeling/opinion this time around. The only thing stopping me doing that was the hope for a upgraded PS5 version, but now that looks like it may come into fruition.

I've been excited to get this but I wonder why it's being released late on physical disk (next month).

Re: PS5 RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker to Reveal Gameplay This Weekend
So excited for this one only because the main devs of The Witcher 3 left CDPR and decided to open their own company, they’re the ones making this.
