Halo was already announced for PS5, whereas Gears E day hadn't been would be my logic - assume that if Microsoft are serious about exclusivity, a new unannounced title wouldn't be on PS5. Be interesting to see how e-day sells later this year

Enjoyed the show but would have liked to see more announcements of games that hadn't been previously revealed - so until dawn 2 was a particular highlight for me.

Thought wolverine, Tokon, Tomb Raider, Onimusha, Control, and God of War (apart from the weird cube) looked excellent.

Rayman looks good, although can't help but feel the original legends didn't need a graphical change - was stunning on the Vita.

That dinosaur game looked fun but will wait to see more on that one.

Toy Story 3! What an incredible game that was

Games are too long. No time to play again unfortunately

X is second only to IX for me. One of my favourite games and it gets better with age. One of the best soundtracks to a game too. Hated the trials though. Would love FF to return to the heights of its golden run

His books are all excellent and I have a few of his vita manuals. All very well made

Never thought id see this on Playstation. Likely to still get for Switch as used to playing these handheld but you never know. Perhaps will go PS5 if there is better performance

@THEBrew Don't think so! The stills are available here:

It feels like it was meant to be something else (although I can see the link)

I still want to know if the clip of the woman holding a flaming torch in a cave back in the PS5 sizzle reel that aired in like 2023 was meant to be for uncharted. Dont think we ever got to the bottom of what it was meant to be

Strongly recommend continuing with at least KH2 - It was brilliant. Series has nosedived for me since (for the most part) but still loved the second

Been waiting for some reviews for this. Double exposure was OK, but disappointing. It felt like it was really developed on a shoe string given the lack of variety in the environments. Hopefully reunion has a little more to it.

Sony between a rock and a hard place here. Clearly they haven't done this for fun and world economics and geoplitics are such that a price increase was inevitable. But this increase is shocking. Wonder if Sony wished they had increased the price last year when the RAM situation started to hit, so this increase wasn't quite so accute

Hmmm. Not sure about this. Yes it supports the Japanese market where i assume sales numbers are low, but this undermines Sony's messaging about the reasons for hiking the prices by SO much elsewhere.

Looks like enhanced care routine for mine then plus really investing in building my library before software costs spike too. Absolutely bonkers.

My PS5 already sounds like a jet engine when playing disc based games which isn't good (I clean it monthly). Will have to explore getting the system stripped down and fully cleaned at some point.

This is what will kill console gaming. The barrier of entry is becoming simply too high

This is terrifying. Everything is becoming completely unaffordable.

@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
