@Rich33 there is an easter egg in the care centre bar area with one of the names on one of the bottles reading Veronica when unscrambled. Whilst it could be a nod, rumours are pointing to a CV remake next

Great game and sales fully deserved. Tonally a little off balance perhaps, but my goodness i was glad for the break when stepping into Leon's shoes.

Racoon city was a little under-developed for me. Would have loved to have spent more time there than you actually do in the game but I will say there was some great fan service in there

I'm so middle aged. I think those colours are awful - glossy plastic, no thanks - but I am in awe of how clean that guy's set up is 😅 if only my desk / house could be that tidy

Oled screen and decent battery life and Sony has my money. I adored my Vita and would be all over this.

If - as has been suggested - this launches at between $1000-1500, then i dont think Sony will be overly concerned assuming they are aiming to get a cheaper machine out the door (which in all likelihood will still be in the range of $700 upwards). With that said it largely depends on Microsoft's strategy. Will they try and make first party titles exclusive again or is the genie too far our of the bottle? Are they solely aiming this at enthusiasts or do they plan on it being a system for mass adoption. We will have to wait and see

Essentially this seems like it will be a pc with an xbox sticker slapped on the front. Its the last hurrah for xbox if not successful and I can see them going big on it. Top management at Microsoft seem more invested in this thing being successful than I have seen in recent generations too. Sony's strategy to pull back from PC development does make sense in light of this announcement.

The decision for Sony on whether to release PS6 in 2027 is largely going to come down to the cost benefit analysis of sitting on the SOC developed for the system for another 2 or 3 years. They might just want to push the machine out. It just feels too early to me. PS5 is just hitting its stride and PS5 pro /PSSR should keep it very relevant for some time to come

Where does this leave Nixxes then?

Wasnt there a clip years ago in a PS5 sizzle showing a girl in a cave that everyone felt was a new uncharted? Wonder what happened to that.

I'm more than ready for a new game. It doesnt have to be a massive - Lost Legacy was the perfect length. I think the series would still perform very well. Perhaps if the new Tomb Raider titles do well, Sony will take another look?

Just working through Silent Hill F then i'll be starting this

Agreed with the sentiment here. And if im a studio like Media Molecule, im worried. And Housemarque will want Saros to do big numbers.

Obviously we'll never know what is happening behind closed doors, but this decision on the face of it looks completely baffling - Demons Souls was THE launch title whether you like Souls games or not - and Bluepoint's history speaks for itself.

It's such a shame and I worry for the future. Ive never been interested in this live service push and if thats the direction this industry is heading in, im out.

Safe to say they have underestimated the level of consumer fury over this one. It feels like a big error. Bluepoint is exactly the type of team they need at the moment

Would buy the handheld tomorrow, but not really feeling ps6 is needed right now just as ps5 has started to find momentum. The state of play was a clear demonstration of that.

Dont get me wrong, I'd probably look to get one nearish launch - particularly if smaller and they sort some of the design issues i have with PS5

I just think Sony would be better off waiting out the current RAM crisis and continue building on PS5 - make people WANT to upgrade - i don't feel many are at that point yet and would be put off if they had to invest in yet more hardware. The games are running just fine as they are.

Lots here to like. Well paced and enjoyable show. The PS studio reveals were more or less as expected although the GOW remake trilogy and Kena were surprises. Liked what I saw. I wasn't expecting to see wolverine or intergalactic tonight so no disappointment there, and Yotei legends looks excellent. good to see MGS 4 coming up at last. Long overdue.

Not going to make predictions but an hour is exciting! Hopefully lots to show and not 2 or 3 15 minute extended gameplay trailers

Delighted by this news. CV in desperate need of a remake. Brilliant game. Day 1.

Given the quality of these remakes I am fascinated by what they will do when they get to RE6. Im assuming they will take the op to overhaul it completely

I'm mixed on this. I loved the original and before the storm. Really didnt get on with the second, thought true colours was excellent, but double exposure underwhelmed. I certainly want to see a review but I will definitely be playing this at some point. I hope there are more locations than DE. It felt quite constrained by only having a handful or so environments

They havent done Persona 5 Arena yet so wouldn't be surprised to see that too at some point

Impossible to understate the impact he had on the gaming industry and the games he helped release into the world. Awful news. RIP and condolences to friends and family

Received as an early christmas present so looking forward to playing it with the kids

Great game but no interest in replaying any Assassins Creed titles - they are such a big time commitment

@Oram77 @ShadowRJ Let's not forget Foamstars!

Why is Geoff leaking his own reveals...either way im looking forward to this. Really enjoyed the last trilogy and felt shadow was underrated

No love for Spartan: Total Warrior on PS2. Granted it was more of a spin off to the main franchise but I remember it being a lot of fun 😁

Lego horizon is good fun if a little repetitive in places. Personally had a good time with it. Given the hype when it released, I am most excited to try neon white of all of them this month

@djhegzy Totally agree. 'A fleeting dream' towards the end of the game is a masterpiece. Whole soundtrack is epic.

X is one of my favourite games ever - but second to my personal favourite FFIX. So desperate to see that remake 😪

Fix the combat and this could be brilliant. Not much else needs fixing here

Only just ordered the first on a black friday sale. Looking forward to trying it.

Life of black tiger 2 going to hit different

Its a worthy debate, but there are pros and cons to both sides of the argument. I need to read the article to see how its framed, but a quick search only references water extraction in the context of plastic production, but not the vast amounts needed to cool data centres which is putting huge stress on already finite resources. You have to look at the whole environmental cycle and not only carbon emissions in isolation (albeit these are very important).

Played and thoroughly enjoyed stray. The perfect type of game for plus and hope it gives it a good audience

Crazy crazy times indeed!

Hope it gets a physical edition because I need this piece of history on my shelf

Its an excellent game. Enjoying every minute. 20 hours in and not faced the Oni yet.

Looking forward to exploring more of its world as it opens up. Might be false memory but the environments dont seem quite as exciting as those in Tsushima yet - although everything within the world has been a lot of fun to participate in and discover.

Great job Sucker Punch 👊

Had to do a double take and check my calendar then 😅 appreciate the need to get venues booked early, trailers locked down etc. though

Ghost of 'Something' (doesnt have to even be in Japan if they want a fresh setting) or a new ip for me please.

I like Sly but Sanzaru did an excellent job with thieves in time so I think it can be outsourced.

I don't want another infamous right now with Insomniac largely focussed on the super hero genre as we risk becoming over saturated.

No remasters from Sucker Punch please. If Sony really want to, outsource to Nixxes

If i can just download the campaign then will probably give it a whirl

Enjoyed metaphor but didnt love it like I do the Persona series so unlikely I would double dip if they did announce an expanded version

I will say i enjoyed open world traversal alot more once I realised I could turn off the cinematic black bars when riding my horse by pressing the R3 button. Didn't feel right as it was 😅

Had a great time leaving the critical path last night, finding the route up to Mt Yotei and just messing around up on the peak with photo mode. Thoroughly enjoyable just being let go to enjoy what they created

What in the furi is that rabbit thing at 20 seconds 🤣

Would have been helpful for a certain section in rebirth where the battle party is changed and becomes a little whack.

No issue with this. Its optional for those that want it.

Undermines his argument to say players should have the choice though and then a couple of sentences later say they wont be giving players the same option in part 3. What is the concern here? That someone will rush through and spoil the story? Unless its changing dramatically, the game has been out since 1997, so the potential for spoilers is limited, even if the story is taking its own route to reach the same destination

Work has been so busy I have only played a couple of hours, but I'm loving it so far!

@StarZinger I think Sucker Punch have noted that one and were working on a fix 🙂

Not going to pay much mind to a reddit post but IF it happens, I wouldn't be surprised to see another company (Tencent?) try to fill the gap.

Im not going to say im not worried about less competition in the hardware space - but I do think Sony still has to compete with PC, Nintendo, and other mediums (including smartphones etc). Its not in their interest to release a prohibitively expensive device (I do think PS6 will launch at a higher price than PS5 however as a digital only console, with an optional disc drive for another $100).

As for games, there will continue to be competition between developers on the console and I wouldn't be surprised to see more studios releasing 'smaller games' for lower prices ala the likes of Clair Obscura etc, as it has been shown that high quality games can still be made on a lower budget.

The future is certainly unclear however amd we will have some interesting years ahead

Preferred the blue Ragnorak one with the wolf on the touch pad I missed out on a few years ago. Won't be getting this. Just got the 30th anniversary one to go with my white, Spiderman, and astro one so don't need any more

This argument has been around for years and has never really made much sense to me. So long as the games are good, it doesnt really matter. At least there is a decent narrative hook to drive the story along. Keep em coming Sony

My copy arrived today. Just need to beat last boss on Clair Obscura and then will be getting on this. Very excited. Tsushima is one of my favourite games

@Porco Seconded. The guide to Japanese RPGs is a beautiful book and priced very fairly. If this had been a similar price I would have bought it, but this is simply too much. I've been hoping Bitmap Books do a playstation collab for ages.

I did buy the visual history of Playstation book by 2 Old 4 Gaming last year off kickstarter (he has been featured on Push Square multiple times for his playstation books), and that gives a good overview of the brand over the past 30 years.

Link isn't working on here, but you can still pick up for 33 pounds on his Etsy store

As others have said, likely that without these changes, the cost would have further increased

Should be revealing a character at every show they do, just like smash brothers. Madness they didnt at the state of play imo. Would have been an easy win and a crowd pleaser.
