I hope this isn't yet another case of Naughty Dog management's "scope creep" problem and obsession with fancy graphical details causing problems for the people who now have to crunch like crazy to get this thing out.

Ooof this was one of my least favorite side activities in the past....

I adored Elder Scrolls during my middle and high school years, but I can't bring myself to be excited about ES6. Bethesda has fallen off hard in my mind, and Starfield did nothing to change that perception.

Damn, another legend leaving PlayStation.

They need to seriously tone down the autocombos and make it easier to execute defensive strategies. Once they have that down, this will be a damn good fighter.

@Oram77 Destiny might have a best feeling gunplay in gaming history imo

Credit where it's due, visually it looks much better compared to the April reveal footage. This genre isn't for me, but I can also see ARC Raider's success having a positive effect on Marathon. A rising tide raises all boats and all. So I'm really looking forward to seeing how it does.

Also, people who are saying this will be the next Concord have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

Wow, even Call of Duty's Christmas cards are soulless and low-effort.

Damn, not even Push Square is convinced Fairgames is coming out next year. =P

LOL the obvious damage control continues. Love to see it.

We've had numerous Star Wars projects announced without release over the past decade or so, so I still have doubts that this will even come out.

1. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
2. Blue Prince
3. Fantasy Life i
4. Ghost of Yōtei
5. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

Expedition 33 is my GOTY by an enormous margin though.

Very smart of them to delay this to the end of April.

This might have been the best Game Awards yet.

I rarely get wowed by game trailers these days but WOW. Looks stunning.

I wish it had a harder sci-fi edge to it instead of the quirky stuff they were going for in the trailer, but I'm intrigued.

No idea why an iconic game like this was given to Aspyr in the first place.

@AdamNovice I'm as casual as they get with fighting games and even I noticed how insane the autocombos in Tōkon were during the beta. I never went into this beta expecting MvC4, but some of the gameplay decisions were infuriating. I think it needs a lot more work before it's ready for launch.

After finishing The Fall of the House of Usher recently, it's amusing to realize that Rahul Kohli was promoting his participation with PlayStation in front of everyone's faces, and no one knew.

I mean, this was maybe the most obvious "secret" in recent video game history.

Yakuza 0 was my first one, and I've been a fan of the series ever since.

@LogicStrikesAgain That makes two of us. Some of these well-known projects have been in the works for what feels like an entire generation. I don't necessarily need to see any secret projects in the works, but I'd love to see how they operate their production pipeline these days and what it was like during the Jim Ryan live services galore days.

Even in this super rough state, I'd much rather play this than Concord, Fairgames, and Marathon. It's crazy how badly Deviation imploded.

Mike Booth being involved intrigues me. This was also announced for PS5 and PC, so this is further along than I expected. I just hope it actually looks cool because PlayStation's eye for "bold and innovative" things has been spotty at best this gen.

For all of the major issues I've had with Destiny over the years, its atmosphere (especially in vanilla D1) is some of the most sublime in gaming imo. Because of my deep respect for Bungie's original artistic intent with Destiny, I can't think of anything more unappealing, distracting, and disrespectful than shoving Star Wars into it as a desperate grab for more players and relevancy. It looks so pathetic.

I'd have way less of a problem with these games playing it safe if the writing and character didn't feel so disposable and boring to me in most cases. Not everything can have Expedition 33 or BG3 quality writing, but it's almost like PlayStation goes out of their way to hire the blandest writers out there.

If it's still going to be a live service prequel that no fan of the original game wanted, then Ubisoft should just put this thing out of its misery.

Missed out on the first one but got my invite yesterday. Looking forward to finally checking it out.

Leon is absolutely in RE9 and I'd bet my life savings that he's the other main playable character besides Grace. Capcom has been so coy and selective about showing things from this game that I know they're hiding something big, and Leon being there is so obvious to anyone who's even mildly followed the series.

Oh Christ, not Jez Corden again...

Three games I'd like to play in the Extra tier, so this is maybe the best month of the year for me.

I didn't think it could get much worse than the new Modern Warfare III joke of a "campaign", but ABK always manages to surprise me.

I wish they did stuff like this near where I live, especially that amazing Astro Bot pinball machine from last year.

Hell yeah. Glad I haven't bought the PS4 version yet.

The irony of using AI "extensively" to work on a new game in the Horizon franchise is hilarious.

Steel Frontiers looks a lot better than I expected. So much so that I'm now disgruntled it isn't coming to PS5 so I can play it with friends.

I've had my eye on Pacific Drive, Still Wakes the Deep, and Thank Goodness for a while, so this is a great month for me.

I know this won't be the case, but there's a part of my brain that thinks this will be a free-to-play game with eight characters to start, and then you have to pay or grind a stupidly long time for the rest. They've missed so many golden opportunities to reveal new characters that it's mind-boggling.

Based on the lineup they had, I have no idea what will convince Japanese gamers to run out and buy a PS5. Most of this was DLC for games that are already out, games coming to the Switch, or super underwhelming game choices. I thought this was a pretty significant failure all around. The State of Play back in June was a WAY better showcase of Japanese games than this.

Out of all the stupid ***** he said, my vote for the stupidest thing Jim Ryan ever said was: "...we believe that Bungie can give us way more than a $69 billion acquisition of Activision."

What an unbelievably moronic thing to say in hindsight.

LOL buying this crap should come with a literal smack to the face

I usually don't care about these dumb awards, but not including Expedition 33 for a music nom is insane.

Do I dare hope for Kingdom Hearts IV to be here...?

Yōtei is superior in every way except writing, pacing, and emotional impact. Like a lot of PS5 era first-party sequels, the storytelling is so much worse this time around.

Whoever came up with this to replace Stars should be fired.

One of my favorite games of the generation

Extraction shooters aren't for me, but I still had fun playing the server slam with a friend. If they get the post-launch support right, I think Embark has something cool here.

After all these years, seeing Halo on PlayStation feels so wrong to me.

It speaks to Bethesda and Xbox's incomprehensibly bad project management that they have a New Vegas themed season of Fallout coming out soon but have no remaster of it for modern consoles ready to go to drum up excitement from old and new fans. Just a re-release of Fallout 4 and a PC only bundle of vanilla New Vegas. Un-freaking-believable.
