Perturbator

Like Bobby Kotick with Activision, the top brass of Bungie sold the company at just the right time. Sony bough fool's gold for $3.6 billion.

The only meaningful way forward I think is reshaping Marathon into Destiny 3. Like Epic did with the original PVE Fortnite into a BR at the time - just in the opposite direction.

Like it or not, this is what Sony is now. They should go all-in.

Hulst and Co should enter the stage breakdancing whilst in Fairgame$ cosplay to the soundtrack of LL Cool J. Viewers will be so confused they will forget to hate on the game. It's the only way.

Hindsight is 20/20 and all, but you gotta think it would have been better to name it Returnal: Saros and release it for more platforms.

One Ringdom Come to rule them all...

It seem the age of console fanboy wars are back again, yay...

What's more interesting is whether Hulst will stay in his position long enough to see any of these planned single-player games released. He has to be 1 fiasco away from the "voluntary retirement" that Ryan got.

I enjoyed both games and wish they had done better. Main characters and movement was so good.

They did have some flaws though. The world felt weirdly lifeless and the side missions (in 2 at least) were mostly pretty boring filler.

Pony Island. Just look at these amazing graphics:

In all seriousness, this game is amazing. By the same devs that made Inscryption and it feels very much like a predecessor to that game.

Also, Arctic Eggs. A game about frying eggs (and cockroaches, live ammunition, cigarettes etc) for hungry dwellers in some post-apocalyptic eastern-Europe community.

It's very weird, but a good time too. And it made me hungry for eggs.

Also played a lot of shorter games in my backlog lately, including Buckshot Roulette, Nocturnal, Ad Infernum, A Juggler's Tale, Threshold, Bright Memory Infinite, Iron Lung, Detached and Fort Solis. All 2-3 hour games. I'm planning on some longer games next though.

It's a start but not really that useful in itself.

The Steam numbers are great when deciding to buy older or indie multiplayer games and see if there will be anyone to play with.

I want a 1024-player MAG 2, a new Motorstorm with full VR mode, Soul Sacrifice Echo and Tokyo Jungle 2: Revenge of the Platypus.

Alright alright I'll watch it! Calm down...

Can't be worse than Monarch I guess. Or From. Sometimes you just gotta turn your brain off and commit to the crap presented on-screen.

Personally, I'd say U2>U1>U3/U4>Golden Abyss/Lost Legacy

Hang on, the Supraland games are available on PS5 too, right?

@Rambo-kind I had fun for like 20+ hours. But eventually (and especially if you do all side missions) you will start to see many houses with the same interiors and fight the same monsters a few times too many. Just focus on main mission with a few sides and it will be fine though.

Enjoyed the first SC very much, although it did have the same problem as many Spiders (Greedfall dev) games that it was too big for its own good and exploring got a bit stale after a while. Still looking forward to this one.

It seems to be losing Steam already nudge nudge wink wink...

But in all seriousness, lots of well-deserving games aren't doing too well these days. I see them releasing every week to little fanfare and it's sad.

Even the 28 Years Later movies failed to make a splash, despite being pretty good (imo).

Looks fine to me. Just as long as you have more modest options and perhaps some sexy male variants for those who prefer that.

It's all about having a choice, really. Prudes of the far right/left can ¤%&! right off.

Since nobody else mentioned it, I will just say: Motorslice.

The thing is, you never quite know what's going to be a hit on Steam. Personally I think GT7 and Astrobot would have done better than most of these bigger open world titles.

@AtlasLivesAgain The artist!

@IronCrow86 Wipeout was apparently first conceived when one of the Psygnosis guys got the idea from playing Super Mario Kart whilst listening to Trance music (remix of Jam & Spoons Age of Love).

Dua's not bad. Usually prefer remixes of her songs, though.

Damn, the reception to this one is freezing, even amongst the
PushSquare commenters that were probably amongst Sony's core target audience for this.

Nobody wants to die alone on Concord Hill, I guess....

Hope it runs well on the PSVR2. Haven't tried it on PC but from what I hear it is a demanding game on the hardware.

After watching Landman, I feel that Kayla Wallace (the lawyer) would be a much better fit for Lara.

Playing ATS in VR with racing wheel/pedals while listening to my fav music was a very nice experience.

@deadfred77 I remember using some sort of teleport device to get around, perhaps a book/tome?

I enjoyed the first game for some hours, but eventually it felt a bit too much like work with all the tasks I had to do.

I'm not surprised in the slightest.

But I do know what all the Playstation fans really want: Another season of The Tester!

I played NMS for about 100 hours in a blurry haze oo PSVR1 with the awkward Move controllers. Still 100% worth it, and at times I feel like jumping back in again.

Nice. I know of Pilotpriest from my Synthwave days but I haven't kept myself updated since. Scoring a SH game is a big deal, though.

I think it was one of the Rainbow 6 Vegas games that let you scan your face with the EyeToy back on PS3. End result was very weird and my character ended up looking like some nightmare version of David Schwimmer.

@Haruki_NLI Boobs, yes... butt i hear it has other great attributes ass well.

That reminds me of a couple of silly trophies I got by putting a rubber band on the controller and leaving it overnight.

First was Gran Turismo...5 I think, where you had to drive 100 laps in endurance. Easily done with a rubber band and something heavy pressing accelerator on the oval shaped track.

Second was for Darksiders, where you had to ride a horse for a stupid amount of kilometers. Again, same procedure, miss Sophie!

@Fiendish-Beaver I doubt going multiplatform was what doomed XBOX. It was more likely a series of blunders during the XBOX One VS PS4 launch that lead to their downfall.

Enjoyed the first one and this one seems a step up from that.

Finally some good news, after a lot of bad ones.

@AdamNovice You saying you don't have the Guts for it?

@HerlockSholmes From what I gather it was popular but never profitable. Guess you should have bought more Rec-Bucks (or whatever they call them) for your son.

I remember Lost Planet 2 had some trophy that required you to be number 1 on speed trials (or whatever it was called) scoreboard. Almost impossible for 99% of players.

@Northern_munkey Nice! Not much beats the immersion of VR + racing rig

@Northern_munkey Now you just need a racing wheel + pedals

Mirror's Edge Catalyst

Finally got around to this follow-up to the great original ME. It's a pretty good time. The story is mediocre at best and the characters are your typical lot of rebellious youth as envisioned by a soulless marketing team, but then there are the great moments of wall-running and jumping across rooftops that make up for it.

LunarLux

A nice little pixel-RPG that is supposedly a lot like Mega Man Battle Network, but I wouldn't know since I never played that game. I like games like these as palate cleansers between bigger meals.

More Asgard's Wrath 2

This is one big-ass game for VR. This week I've got a new companion that is a half-hawk, half-dude that can transform into a hawk that can be grappled to fly around with. Also I unlocked fishing and beat up a giant scorpion in the desert.

@AdamNovice I want one of those Mega-Blocks to run around in

@AdamNovice Open-world Dredd RPG game in a huge Megacity could be amazing.

Honestly I'm annoyed there aren't more Dredd games out there. The comics have so many great themes and characters that a game could rival Fallout or Witcher, if the right creatives and budget were involved.

Already had this on my Steam wishlist, although I can't remember where I first heard of it...

Loved the show so I'm hoping this will be good.

I'll get it in a couple of years when it's nicely patched, has a few DLCs and is in a good sale.

A VR version of Schedule 1 would be the perfect Breaking Bad game.

Wow, amazing. So many members of Peni's fanclub here.

Best to only do trophies/achievements that add to the game. That trophy just sounds like chore.

I just started Alice: Madness Returns.

Game is from 2011 so controls are a bit old-fashioned, but the art direction still holds up nicely.
