This looks so cute and pushes all the right SEGA buttons. On the radar it goes.

I am really sad for these guys as they were a quality studio (HB2 might be the first Xbox game I'll buy on PS) and to showcase them at a show to just try to sell them is a new low from MS.

@Kz_Eikon yeah, that is tragic but I can see how Sony didn't want to alienate their relationship with From and they would want any remake or sequel to have their blessing. That said, From software might not be interested in working on a series they don't own the Ip to...but we deserve a proper Bloodborne 2!

@nessisonett technically true (the best kind of true) but I mean, we are still playing with Coleco and Atari games on the original machines, we are fine for a good while.

@nessisonett @GirlVersusGame fastest way is still put the PS2 disc in the PS2

Err...may the plan be they start remaking Devil May Cry? Plz?

I don't think releasing on PS5 would have made a big difference and I still think the game is coming to PS5 sooner or later (if you really want to play this on PS for some reason) because apparently it was almost ready to go and it would be a illogical waste.

I'll take Death Stranding 3 developed by Platinum à la Metal Gear Rising. It would fit DS2 ending and Kojima's wishes for the franchise.

Dare I say: heckling darn heck, bloody Bloodborne?

Wipeout, of course and ...

...I'd gladly have a new Legend of the Dragoon or Arc the Lad but the dream is a medium/high-budget RPG developed in Japan with some western talent, please. The fact we haven't seen a turn based, narrative heavy, "realistic" (I mean this loosely as "not-anime looking") RPG funded by Sony and developed in tandem with, idk, Square-Enix or Level5 or Mistwalker is baffling. It would sell like hot cakes in both Asian AND Western markets. Like...do "The Last of Us" in terms of narrative presentation but it's a JRPG.

@CielloArc I think the fact that she doesn't exactly have time for her K-beauty routine and make-up while fighting in the god's afterlife might explain the look...and she looks very good to be honest!

Woohoo! Wipeout itch-scratcher, here we go - I had high hopes for this one! Will definitely get it as soon as I navigate the extravagance of great gaming coming our way.

Err...guys, she looks amazing in game and perfect for what she is supposed to be.
This argument has to be one of the lowest, most embarrassing and vile pieces of anti-PlayStation propaganda ever conceived.

I've been playing through the prologue in RT mode and had 0 issues so far on Pro, only a bit of stuttering when the game autosaves.

Yes - and Valkyria Chronicles, plz!

@MrPeanutbutterz Curious about the OCD - managing bit. How do you go around it, if I may ask?

Guys, I have played a couple of hours and the atmosphere is even better with this new graphic fidelity. I am torn between dropping everything I am playing and dive in this masterpiece or waiting for songs of past...

@ShogunRok I have played a couple of hours on Ps5Pro and can confirm it is smooth like butter. I have started a fresh game as well. I wonder if a huge inventory and data log affects the performance somehow.

@Max_the_German you can only buy what is available, though.

After seeing a friend playing it I'm actually tempted to borrow the game or buy it way down the line ...glad to see it's doing well.

Thank you for this early report! Looking forward to immerse myself once more in this world...looks like we are in for some visual treat! I'll sure toggle with the weight limit so I don't make Gerald a fiend decoction addict by the end of the first act and I can steal all the butter and the cutlery from the famished and the poor.

Ah yes, I miss the ColecoVision interface. Flip the switch, get a title screen, press a number. No updates, no sign-in, no little pop-up telling you a stranger got a bronze trophy for opening a door. And the themes: it was ON and then OFF. Majestic.

BREAKING: Local Eight-Year-Old Achieves Financial Ruin Before Achieving Puberty

Kettering, Northamptonshire. A family of four is reportedly "having a nightmare of a week" after discovering their son Oliver, 8, had spent £14,382 on Fortnite cosmetics over a single half-term, all by "just tapping the card on the thing."

The thing in question is understood to be one of Sony's DualSense pads, fitted with a built-in contactless card reader, a feature the company has reportedly patented and which the family describes as "the single worst idea anyone has ever had, and I include the lifeboats count on Titanic."

The family says the card had been left on the arm of the sofa, next to the pad, for about two hours. Oliver, who had been playing at the time, simply pressed it against the touchpad in the middle of the controller.

Sony's patent describes the feature as a "seamless, frictionless payment experience." Robert Whitlow, 44, said he could confirm it was extremely frictionless.

Itemised losses include:

• Gangster raccoon in a wedding dress: deluxe Edition (£18),
• Ultimate Gold Tier Hat Pack Bundle (PS Store exclusive)(£24)
• The "Boogie Bomb" Emote Bundle, Vol. 1 through Vol. 9, (£19.99)
• Premium Loading Screen with Early Access (£12)
• Pickaxe of Mild Inconvenience (£16)
• Victory Pose Cocktail Umbrella (Legacy), a limited-time item that has since been re-released three times (£15)
• "Extremely Cheeky Wink" Facial Expression DLC (£6.50),
• Bonus collaboration with Game That Doesn't Exist Yet (with Preorder Bonus)(£49.99)

@Rob_230

These armors honestly look all kinds of awesome. Purple one is so stylish. Bow and catalyst, you say, huh?

Okay I didn't vote because I haven't played it but I've been peering over a girlfriend's shoulder watching her play Marvel's Wolverine for about an hour now (she's somewhere in the back half, I think?) and... the story is NOT what I pictured going in? Like full-blown romance fantasy vibes, which, hmmmmm, wasn't on my bingo card.

Gameplay-wise it seems a bit of a snooze, ngl - though to be fair I'm currently deep in Symphony of the Night AND Bayonetta rn so literally nothing was surviving that comparison. Still looks like simple, comfy fun though! And it is stupidly polished, gotta give it that.

Also. The actor playing Logan?? Sir, you may stay on my screen indefinitely. More of him please and thank you.

@DrVenture69 Been getting thatSymphony itch again for a while, and scratching it was just as satisfying as I remembered. Curious about Belmont's Curse, but not sold on the aesthetic yet - I'll wait for reviews. If the Castlevania lot reckon it's as special as it appears to be, I'm in. There's a demo coming soon too.

Wish they'd go back to pixel art for both Castlevania and Metroid, mind. Dread was solid, but that dread-ful art style meant I never quite fell for it.

I am playing Symphony of the night as well! Couldn't resist the sale and ...it's sweet and short. Up there with the best of all times.

Did my job! It's the first time I am honestly not hyped about Sony's future console and I reasonably explained all the reasons why.

I hope Saros can snag a couple of these and get back on the radar of more gamers as it was by far the best title I played this year.

It's been a while since I played an arcade aircraft game, this is so tempting but there are a bucketload of games coming out >_<

One week! I'll be back on the path: badgering vendors to have a game of cards while conveniently forgetting my daughter is technically missing.

A smaller budget (Microsoft has almost certainly given Kojima Productions far less than he would have asked of PlayStation) might actually help the game's development cycle. Still, as gamers, we deserved the full, lavish Kojima experience for his return to tactical espionage action.

Sony possibly invested a lot of money for the marketing campaign rights for GTA VI, but I don't think it changes much. The game is launching on PlayStation and Xbox at a time when Xbox is arguably the least relevant it has ever been, and Microsoft has been publishing its own major titles on PlayStation too.

It was always going to sell buckets on PS5 regardless, because the brand carries it on its own and there isn't a very palatable alternative to playing it on PS.

If anything, the deal may have been money Sony could have invested elsewhere, like its own first-party studios or other marketing deals, since GTA VI would have sold huge numbers on PlayStation either way.

@11001100110zero Series S doesn't help.

I am going to stick to my Ps5 Pro for a long time but anyway it sounds interesting. I really hope they keep their horses until 2028 at least.

It is going to look wonderful - Rebirth on the Pro was truly a treat.

Big hugs to anyone who's lost their job - especially in this economy - and thanks for the work you put into giving us games to play and something to smile about during the news hellscape of the last couple of years.

I can imagine all the good folks at Ninja Theory are over the moon about Xbox funding and publishing Physint. Crazy times and decisions.

I guess more customization with stuff like in-game guidance is always welcome - I just hope they don't chase GOTY-bait too hard, since people will complain no matter how much choice you give them (for instance: side quests)

Develop a single player game in the Destiny Universe - maybe with some multiplayer element. Think the original Halo. It should sell extremely well and they are a perfect fit for it.

@Flaming_Kaiser I have no doubts about it. He’s worth every penny imho. I am disappointed in Sony but I see their reasoning…Xbox kinda contradicts itself: they let studios go because they couldn’t afford them anymore but suddenly they can manage a project like this? God help us ~ I really am looking forward to this.

The controller looks nice, tbh. It could pass for a Gris limited edition.

Also skip the cutscenes, you can ask Claude or Chat GPT for the general gist of the story, and have a friend do the battles for you.

Next up: how to play tennis videogames for the lore.

Finally a social link for the Sous Chef of Cups - about time they covered all the tarots arcana.

Lufia, huh? I know these by reputation but have never played them. Good to have them available on new platforms with improvements and qol bonuses.

Nice trailer! Not too keen on the new original design: they were aiming for something that would fit in both games but I feel like Bayonetta would never wear this particular one.

@Oldstalk probably smiling at all the Double Fine, Compulsion Games, Ninja Theory, Undead Labs and Arkane employees watching from home and giving us all faith in this small project coming together without any problem.

Folks, I am happy Kojima has a publisher. But can we also stop pretending Xbox is a nice option? Dislike Sony all you want but Xbox's game division and publishing is a disaster. Let's keep it real.

Poor Kojima, you can basically feel he would clearly prefer this to be a PlayStation project if he just could...heartbreaking.

Huh, it definitely looks promising and I like card games...might be one to keep an eye on.

The Witcher 3 is easily one of my favourite games ever, and I'll bang on about why all day. But I do remember you lot being absolutely vicious about the more-than-fine combat in Inquisition and Final Fantasy XV, while the Witcher's combat, a clunky relic of awkward action PC gaming of yore, got waved through without not much more than a raised eyebrow. Bit rich, that.

I get his point but this is more Naughty Dog's problem than Santa Monica's. Laufy's combat looked exciting and God of War has explosive, addicting gameplay that is rewarding even if you are really into action games.

Tabata? Interest piqued! Love the first game as any person of respectable taste
