Why is this becoming a running theme with demos only being on Steam, first Pragmata now this, I swear if there is a RE9 demo for Steam only, Ima crash out. Regarding the game however, it actually looks a lot of fun, depending on the price this could be a day 1.
I think the worst thing about the reveal trailer, was it stated to be a "New breed of shooter" then proceeded to show the most generic gameplay in recent memory. Also being the closer for the game awards really didn't help it either. I don't take pleasure in bashing studios but sometimes they really do this to themselves.
@ShadowRJ I think the biggest offenders of that would be the RPG era of Assassin's Creed, now they are the defination of bloat. This maybe a hot take to some but FF7 Rebirth is a almost perfect game (yes including Chadley) but I can see why people call a bloat fest.
Personally having 100+ hour stories is what I love the most, as you really get to know the characters/the world and lore and when you finally roll credits it just hits different, and that's not even exclusively to JRPGs, KCD2 is same and that is a 10/10 experience, granted I know some people don't have the time, but there has to be a give and take on this subject.
Code Violet = Red flag
Endfield = Sammy's new addiction
Nioh 3 = A must play
Romeo is dead a man = wait on reviews
RE9 = GOTY contender
FF2R = Day 1
Crimson Desert = Wait on reviews
Marathon = Wait on reviews
Saros = Day 1 duh
Phantom Blade 0 = Most hyped game
Wolverine = In Insomniac we trust
GTA6 = 2027
Pragmata = The demo changed my mind (in a good way)
Onimusha = Needs a demo/more gameplay shown off
Tomb Raider = Lara is too attractive = makes it a day 1
Halo = Needed MP to make it a purchase for me
While I have grown tired over the sheer amount of glaze the game has gotten in the second part of 2025, there's no way I can't deny it doesn't deserve GOTY spot, After I finished the game in 5 days when it released I knew it would win.
Happy new year to one and all.
Edit: I want to add Fatal Frame 2 remake to the list, and maybe Code Violet but that game does seem like a massive red flag, also no mention of Nioh 3, so already the start of year is stacked (for me personally at least)
Brilliant experience and Sucker Punch's best game to date, I'm very curious to see they do some story DLC in the future (personally my 3rd favourite game of the year)
I think it's time for them to start showing off Townfall, obvs we have SH1R after that, so I wonder what else they have in the pipe line? They also stated that they want to have Silent Hill in different countries like Italy or Russia for example.

Anyone remember Nintendo promoting this bad boy:

Re: Casting and Performance Capture for Hideo Kojima's PS5 Exclusive PHYSINT Will Begin in 2026
So it could be a 2028 release, either way I look forward to seeing gameplay, if it plays anything like MGSV then they're on to a winner in my book.
Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers' 20 Most Anticipated PS5 Games of 2026

@MrPeanutbutterz That's what I was going to say too, people really starting to say nothing existed before E33

And E33 looks like FFX and Lost odyssey...
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Action Game of 2025
@UltimateOtaku91 You mention Silent hill f and yet it hasn't shown up on any list so far
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Action Game of 2025
With Monster Hunter Wilds still having performance issues it should be excluded from the list.

Re: 'It Has the Power to Enrich the Creative World': Level-5 Boss All-In on Generative AI
@UltimateOtaku91 More people nowadays do not buy games on release and just wait for a sale, so I can't see that being a problem but more options.

@tameshiyaku It's actually getting tiring to be honest
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 RPG of 2025
Finally some justice to KCD2. This to me is what a RPG should be. Changing your pictos doesn't make it a actual RPG in my eyes.
