Sure, with his paycheck i am sure it's nothing.

Turns out, we are not all millionaires. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure what the doom and gloom is about.
Squeenix is known for abnormaly long development cycles. Fixing that will allow the games to be a success without needing to sell 4m+ in the first month.

For the best. The series was swamped in multiple releases across multiple platforms. The focus is appreciated.

Pretty sure we will see it by next year at the latest. Squeenix needs major releases for this year and the next and as far as I know, they only got this and kingdom hearts 4.

Will probably end next year though. Unless they fix wilds and the expansion doesn't run terribly and is riddled with low res textures.
Wilds doesn't really deserve the sales it had. Even though I am guilty of it as well. I most certainly learn and will not jump on the expansion without real fixes.

Well... I liked lords of shadow and the metroids, so I will try the demo. But, it's unlikely I will get it.

I will be expecting the Fallout 3 remaster in December then.

No need. Make a new entry instead.

Well...sometimes you f around and you find out. It is what it is.

Awful sale! It's the same things we got before at the same price or higher.
For example i got Skyrim anniversary for 8 euros a few weeks ago. Now it's going for 19 euros. The oblivion effect i guess. 😂

So... it looks cinematicly great.
I would watch it, but I was never enamored with the crime life, so it still doesn't appeal to me. The only GTA I could play to completion was GTA3 cause of the mafia/godfather themes going on and how groundbreaking it was for the time.
Nowadays they are not very different from any other ubisoft open world. Go to quest givers on the map, do some shooting, run away from the cops, repeat.
But, yes, it looks impressive. No gameplay footage though.

I will have to look into it. I am a fan of both series but I was uncertain about this one.

@naruball It's called a metaphor. Seriously...
I don't care if they are fictional characters, that is an exception you are laying down yourself. I don't agree with that and i explained why. I don't want any guest characters, i want characters from the game universe they are from.
It's you making special pleadings.

What? Fan feedback I heard was that it was terrible. I'm confused.

Am I a fan? I was... but origins was not for me. I want a regular DW10 entry.
I want my 70 odd officers with their unique movesets and our conquest, musou and empires modes as well as co-op. No open world. Just the usual arcade like spectacle stages we used to have with the 2 button weak/fierce combo system. It works. It worked for decades and there is a reason why. It's fun.
I am hoping origins was the stepping stone for that. I really ain't interested in this souls hybrid thing.

@naruball They are based on real people. Arnold and Stallone have their likeness in the games even though they pass it as rambo or conan... but why does the distinction matter?
It doesn't change anything to me. I'd rather see characters from the actual series than guest characters that add nothing and are just cash bait for casuals. Guest characters don't make games better.
There are cases where series are so close that it makes sense. Say street fighter and KoF. But I still prefer a dedicated game for those crossovers than seeing guests on the other game. It's just disrespectful to your players that are there cause they love the series.
I literally stopped buying MK cause of the micro transactions malpractices and the abundance of guest characters. I love the series, I love the lore and the characters and seeing those nobodies instead of fan favorite MK characters always feels like a slap in the face. I got tired of being slapped.

ROFL! Why did they bother getting the license then? Gonna give up after one title.

Just continue making dirt games. It's clear that was the established brand needed. EA is in shambles nowadays lol. They go from bad decisions to worse. Maybe it's time to sack the executives making these decisions? No? Of course not. Close the studio instead. That will make the money. 🙄
Honestly, EA has to come to grips with the fact that it's not a huge publisher anymore. They have to accept that all their games aren't going to sell gangbusters above 4m copies. All they got is FC now. Even that has been in decline and their answer is to close studios and downsize even more when they need to rethink how they approach the market. They time of EA and Activision giants is over. They need to understand what they are now. Time to reduce budgets and be ok with modest hits (probably until they grow and ruin it all again).

@IOI Nah... i got the driver version and that will do me fine. I will save my money for the PS6 as it seems that will be costly. The pro is not worth it for me. It can't play my physical games.
But, otherwise, i agree. This is awful. Can't believe those fools in the US voted for this. As if covid hadn't been bad enough. I hope their lives are better now. 🤷‍♂️
I am afraid the only chance for the Pro as fas as i'm concerned is a price drop, not an increase, cause i would need to buy the drive as well. This is all nonsense and i do hope sales drop sharply. This is just not ok. We are not oranges you can squeeze for infinite juice.

EA is severely downsizing. They are not the publisher they once were and it seems to be getting worse.
That's what happens when you mismanage your studios.

Let's not forget Ken and Chun-li are coming as well. This will be getting more coverage.

I wish people were consistant about guest characters though. These are not any worse than the nonsense guests MK brings out regularly.
I wish for all of them to stop, but they make money, I hear. Not my money, clearly. 😒

"Biggest map" is not something that excites me. I prefer smaller map with a variety of activities than a huge list of repetitive objectives.

@Cornpop76 Indeed. There were positives and negatives. But, currently, the internet has become so negative that I appreciated not being bombarded with videos and posts on social network telling me to be angry. I do find this discorse hurt some games that deserved better such as Dragon age veilguard. Youtubers have way too much power if they are allowed to start the narrative and they will farm negativity.
I am perfectly fine with shadow drops if it curtails negativity.

On the other hand, yes, it hid the performance issues that while not insane, are there and can be distracting.
If only companies were trustworthy, I would be happy with just shadow drops. But we know they will use it to mask a turd soon enough.

If you have a good game, it will make itself noticed.
No one owes you attention.

I caved in. The price was strangely acessible and i found it worthwhile to say this is the way.

I was a bit taken back by some parts i had already forgotten. The game really isn't as good as skyrim. There is more quality of life and intuitiveness with Skyrim. But, it's still alright.
The graphics glow up is pretty nice and the models do look better than the ugly Skyrim ones. Hair in particular is awful on skyrim and it's nice here.

All in all, a nice entry to play again.

Don't go back to believing rumors. Remember that not long ago it was gonna release on that week.
We know the game appears to be real. Doesn't mean the release date rumors are.

For further information, virtuos also developed the ps5 version of midnight suns. It's incredibly buggy. But i don't know if virtuos or firaxis (or 2K) are to blame.
Either way, i am expecting some bugs.

On another note, i hope the Fallout 3 remake is also true. It would make sense for them to delay it until the next season of the show though (sadly).

Degeneracy knows no limits. 😂

Well... i still remember when the PS4 was amazing looking not so long ago. I remember buying it and seeing on the screens a racing game that looked great.

The Switch 2 is not a super powered system. It's between ps4 and ps4 pro. The advantage is that it has Nintendo games and has a portable option.

End of the day, it's not the tech, it's the games and the experience being delivered.

Honestly, my reason to get one atm is to just upgrade the Switch games i got.

Umm... well, games radar is the only one that went into details. The others just went into platitudes, so it's difficult to say.
But, if it does play closer to hack and slash, that is a plus.

Finally some evidence, assuming this isn't faked. I was honestly getting tired of the hearsay.

Sammy... you guys have to be better than this. 3 articles now based on rumors that haven't come to pass.
Do the right thing and wait for official confirmation if it's real at all.

Well... if it helps, i don't think it will do as bad as concord. Marathon has a visual style. But wether it will capture players may depend on word of mouth and how good the game is.
Bungie also has a fanbase and it's likely a part of the destiny fanbase will give it a try.

These are sad times. 😕

No, but i am not the target audience for this kind of game.

This is completely unacceptable. A literal scam.

The game has to work off the disc, even if it's an unpatched version. Otherwise it's just a key on a disc and it must be disclosed as such.

I haven't played it yet. Once i learned it was a 3 parter i was in no rush to play it. I got 2 parts now. Once the 3rd is about to hit i might get to it.
I didn't want to play it just to get hit with a cliffhanger.

Finally, one of these trash firms talks sense.

This is a bug fix patch which indicates that the game is done. I doubt more is coming.

For it to be real!

@Oram77 I heard credit card. Cause it's what's needed for it to do anything. 😂

@doctommaso I'm tired of "in a vacuum" inflation comparisons. They are disonest. It's not just the inflation, it's raises and it's the cost of living, the scarcity, the tariffs as we well see, the taxes, etc. Inflation doesn't exist in a vacuum.
Also, the ps3 was a blu ray player. The ps5 pro doesn't even have a disc drive. They are very different propositions.

@Lowdefal Still nothing on FF tactics either.

The God of War collection is coming any day now as well.
Oh right... it was greek god of war or something now.

If you don't know... be quiet. Getting people's hopes up for nothing is not cool.
The guy said it was coming last week, yet here we are. When did we start believing rumours? Was it the Nvidea leak?

Yet, no GoW collection, no FFIX remake and no Oblivion remake.

Can we like... wait until official announcements or actual evidence, not hearsay?

The real gem is Lunar 2.
Lunar 1 always felt overhyped to me. It's very generic and shorter.

I think that with how popular CRPG's are atm, this could do well enough, even if it's a different take on it.
But, if i'm honest, a new guardians of the galaxy would be insane hype too. Such an overlooked game that is so effin good.
I'd like to see both back.

Two wrongs don't make a right.
And make no mistake, Sony will follow suit, unless this blows up on Nintendo's face.

With that said, Sony is already learning with how the PS5Pro is selling less than the PS4Pro.

Well? We're waiting.

I am not. i am waiting for performance and texture fixes. I haven't tested the new patch but will soon.

This was one too much.
Ronaldo was fun and original.

This guy is just goofy and doesn't look cool at all.

Being second console doesn't mean it isn't direct competition. The market is your time playing. They are competing for game sales and engagement aka play hours.
They are also competition for subscription service and online play.

No, but they are targeting big wallets. 😂
