@LazyLombax it wants to save you from this soapy mess

@BoomShakAllaker yeah there's pretty much no issues I found, played for few hours from 6pm, had slow matchmaking, turned crossplay off and it was fine. Good to see it patched already

October 2024?

This is what happens when you make a game not too big of a scope, you end up making everything tight, pleasing the community, work really well and not have to be £70.

I'm sure that if Returnal was similarly priced at £35 - £50, it'd have been more of a hit.

Don't start being a Disney pump, Fortnite

@Ramavetos the story is cool tbh, I like it a lot but that's where it ends for me sadly

This game gonna be a HIT

@Voltan literally, it's baffling to see them double down and waste time on something so hated

@Icey664 go to the game base!

@Czar_Khastik I love it

I'm interpreting this as potentially, if we start doing really well and killing the bugs easily, they'll shift the narrative and start a storyline where some stronger species come in. If so, that sounds amazing

@Nei this sounds amazing, full of variety and fun, day 1

@Czar_Khastik all this time I thought you were Russian, I have only just now finally sounded your name out 👌

Put it in VR and I'd day 1

Embracer, Microsoft, Sony to a lesser degree. I think it's clear that consolidation is just mainly greed and does not benefit developers at all in terms of their job security

@Anguspuss well they still collect $70 even if people finish it after an hour

That subtitle 👌

@Ravix knowing WB they'd market the outage as a feature and charge the early access players £50 a day to play until the release.

They are constantly attempting to fan the flames out before they even appear, that is a red flag.

I have issues with the gameplay loop but the gameplay (movement, traversal, combat) looks fun, story is fun, live service elements aren't THAT intrusive. This game is likely to be a hit.

I just would've loved for this to be a SP game with a co-op online add on, like GTA. Because that gameplay loop of shoot purple thing and run across empty map just to do it again, with boss fights sprinkled in-between has no business being in a Rocksteady game or with those really good looking cinematics and story

@UltimateOtaku91 don't forget Dreams was early access too

@Konks yeah this is making a lot of sense but just wish they were more progressive with it. Give us another game like Black Flag but new story at least. I know many others will love this but just feels like a waste of development time for me

Okay so now what was the point of Skull & Bones?? Like you've just spent a decade making a game just to end up remaking the starting point.

Plus why don't they go and make a smaller scale AC game that is easy cash money. We could be Edward Kenway in his latter years or any other Assassin that everyone wants to see, like they did in Mirage. All this stuff could be so more productive but no lets go remake a game that came out on PS3 & PS4 for the PS5. Ubisoft, Bethesda, Nintendo & Rockstar are ruining forward progression

Game development and most things related to tech are so stupidly over saturated. Anyone trying to enter needs to either be extremely skilled, start off an indie studio or just go into freelance work. Too many people have access to computers (not a bad thing)

And everyone said they joined DC studios 🙄

I'm guessing GTA 6 Online will have a built-in role play server type function? That would be really cool. Hoping they bring back cops & robbers

@DragoonZied you're underestimating how much I really wanna shoot some barrels 😭

@DragoonZied where it at

Game looks great! Can't wait to play this with friends

@Dom_31 as in, it supports us players by getting enemies to group up, allowing our party members to kill them easily

The only one I'd want to play is the one with rolling barrels where the number decreases when you shoot it

I still don't understand how HZD has as many sales as this, if not more and it was a new IP. Yes I know it's been out much much longer

@TrannosaurusBex 'clickbait-ism'

Absolute shambles in this comments section

@KundaliniRising333 you have a lot of sense !

Definitely animated. I've always disliked the look for Steve. He's got a weird face

Ironically, the 2 cancelled Live Service games (that we know of) could've been the most successful. I know many here would have played Factions 2 and the the Spider-Verse one from Insomniac would've been incredible, but here's to more Single Player games that in about 5-10 years time, these same people will complain about getting stale

@sanderson72 should come in handy if I decide to use my PS4 again, thank you!

@Fyz306903 true, or they quietly push it into the start of the following year

@sanderson72 ah so you put the PS5's fans into the PS4, I read your initial comment wrong. That's really interesting, guess Sony cheaped out on the fans for last gen

@MrMagic the One X is likely running it at lower settings (textures, foliage, etc) but at a 4k resolution. The Series S is running it at similar settings but lower resolution as Series X. That's how many cross-gen releases have been. Making the Series S a very pointless console as the One X already serves that lower end purpose

@sanderson72 I've still never heard my PS5 fan, meanwhile my PS4 fan is on the minute I start any game

@MrMagic the S is truly a weird console. I think it might have the same image quality and texture settings as the Series X, just at a lower resolution but everyone would rather have 4k 60fps than 1440p

@Mikey856 hopefully it's a new IP. I really want a fantasy third-person RPG type game, kinda like Dragon Age.

MGS would be insane but wouldn't be possible due to Konami probably wanting to be all over that, plus we know Bluepoint to be working on OG content

@Mikey856 agreed, their attention to detail is top tier, PS Studios worthy. I think whatever they release should be ready by 2025-27 due to the longer production times so thinking about it, might not be ready for reveal yet

@Brawl4002 I don't think it's a remake, it's been said to be a new IP in the past I think

@Grimwood here's hoping they're ready to be revealed. Excited for what Bend studio, Firesprite and Bluepoint have been cooking up

@UltimateOtaku91 yeah I agree seems wishy washy, but also if people care so much they should go outside and touch some grass

@UltimateOtaku91 you should read comment from @ShogunRok

@pharos_haven yeah you've got a good point there 😂

@Dragoon1994 fingers crossed!
