No DQXIII... man, it's been so long since it was announced.

That's a major bummer for IO. I had forgotten they were involved at all. I guess it's a hard lesson. I'm sure we won't hear much more about it, but they must have been concerned about the status of the game prior to launch.

I've never loved her in any of her roles, but we'll see how she does here.

Decent games but nothing I'm interested in. I played Psychonauts 2 years ago.

This is my favorite MGS game, without a doubt. However, I'm not super interested in replaying it. I imagine I will at some point, but so far I'm happy playing other stuff.

Even though I did not like Infinite, Levine's games are always interesting. I'm anxious to check this out.

Have no interest in Gears at all. It's always looked unappealing to me.

I think it's totally fair to get out of Silksong's way. I don't think just because Demonschool, and the others mentioned, aren't in the same genre makes it any less a good idea. Silksong has basically become this mythical unicorn since announcement, and considering that Hollow Knight has sold 15m units, it's an indie juggernaut that is bound to suck the air out of the indie scene on release.

I won't be playing it personally. Hollow Knight is excellent, but I never actually finished it. I'm hype for Demonschool, but also happy to play it later in the fall anyway.

Awesome, I backed Shenmue 3 but never actually got very far into - I was really bummed out how little they'd modernized basically anything. I've wanted to give it another shot and this certainly would be the ticket. Hopefully the upgrade path is reasonable.

Will probably only play Sword of the Sea, but a good month overall.

Hopefully the Spider-Man releases are leading into Spider-Man 2 next month - it'll be 2 years since release and that has been Sony's window for major first party games on Plus.

2m copies for an original IP JRPG? I think that's a hit. I'd be surprised if Metaphor doesn't get the Royal/Golden/FES treatment. And Atlus always described their new fantasy game as a new franchise, so I would be shocked to not see them return. What will be interesting is if it's an all setting, rather than a sequel within the same fiction.

Ugh, I'm excited for this but was hoping to get into Hell is Us about then.

Rad, I've been playing this on and off on Switch. It's a weirdly relaxing game. It's almost mundane, but somehow it makes that a good thing.

Very excited about this getting demo.

@donnyPS5 I highly doubt Capcom decided to not work on a new Marvel title. I would assume that Marvel decided they wanted to work with ArkSys, who people may forget, made the all time best selling licensed tag fighter, DBFZ. We can certainly debate how good DBFZ is - I think it's fun and very accessible - but I wouldn't be surprised if it has single handedly outsole the entire MvC franchise. It certainly isn't as universally beloved, but between $$$ and MvC Infinite, I'm sure Marvel and possibly Sony, who is publishing, wanted to try and reach a larger audience than MvC ever has.

I'd love to see another cross over, and I think the companies are cozy enough again for it to happen, I just still see it as a long shot logistically.

Capcom has basically been a 1 fg company for the last decade, so the idea of them supporting 2 fg doesn't make any sense to me. The only way that changes is if a new CvS was like a Vs series game, rather than a slower team fighter - since they no longer have a tag fighter and lost the Marvel license apparently to ArkSys.

Now SNK, they have been a bit more prolific with game releases. But the question is will people show up for a new SvC? I'm not sure, clearly KoF is still successful, and it seemed like SamSho was successful, but Fatal Fury seems to have been a commercial dud - though, I'll say I think the game is pretty fun, but a bit underwhelming as an overall package compared to other AAA fg released. Does Capcom trust them to make a big game with 50% their characters? I think Ken and Chun are definitely a test bed.

I picked characters who haven't been in games before: Daredevil, Elektra and Spider-Gwen. I'm sure we'll get more of the MvC staples like Magneto. Storm is already kind of a nod to that.

I'm super jazzed by the great reviews. I won't be getting this immediately, but definitely something I want to add to my shelf. I really enjoyed Blasphemous so I had a lot of confidence in this.

I don't have an issue with them charging $60 for this. If it doesn't justify that price tag people won't buy it and the game will be discounted.

In general, I don't have a problem with developers and publishers pricing their titles aggressively. It may not have cost $100m to make, but they probably aren't also expecting to sell 5m copies of it.

I also think AA versus AAA is kind of hard to parse. Stellar Blade released at $70 and was from a first time console developer. Hell is Us is coming out at $60. It's all very subjective.

I like the developer but I barely even followed this game prior to release. It looked kind of generic and oof, the name is really bad.

Looks great. Will be keeping my eye on it.

I think time has made me like Ghost of Tsushima a little more. I think it's a great, if a bit derivative, game. Honestly, that is what I expect of the sequel too.

My favorite Sucker Punch game is still Sly 2 and I think their best game is inFamous: First Light.

I actually thought it looked great.

I will inevitably play a new God of War, but it doesn't excite me. I'd love to see Santa Monica do something different, even if it was revisiting dormant IP.

I have the games here I am interested in, but Planet Zoo and Bluey might be fun to load up for my son

Banishers is pretty excellent if you're looking for a game kind of in new God of War vein. I dig the central relationship a lot.

I only vaguely think of Helldivers as a Sony game anyway. Most of its success is on PC. I don't really feel like this is a big deal and I don't think it dilutes their brand.

@Jrs1 This! I have maybe 15 or so, I primarily use Deku Delas, which is a much better way of keeping track of games I want and when they're on sale.

When will PSN get game gifting!? I want to be able to gift friends games like on Steam. I don't want to buy them credit.

Dude sounds like one of my professors in art school. He was also into the Mound of Venus

I hadn't realized Hyung Tae-Kim was the director and that he's a prolific artist. I remember seeing his stuff years ago and being blown away. Obviously he's known for his ladies, like Eve here, but his skill is incredible.

I've played it a little. I think what they have is solid but not spectacular. I haven't been pulled to jump back in since my first play session. I would agree that at least in the early going, there isn't a great hook.

It looks nice but 80% of The Expanse appeal is the crew, so they have to nail the writing.

Hype to try Jusant. I own KoF and I generally hate Diablo, but still feel compelled to try it again.

I've been waiting for Outlaws sub $20, so I'll keep an eye out. I borrowed it from the library and have actually really enjoyed what I've played. I think tempered expectations helped.

@Jakebrake1895 Fore! was definitely the apex of the series for me as well. Out of Bounds was solid, but lost mini golf and felt smaller. Everybody's Golf was definitely a disappointment. It was a bummer that roster felt less wacky and more homogenized. The MP never quite clicked either, which was clearly the focus.

I'd love to be excited for this, but as a Vita remaster I'm just not pumped at all. I've gotten my arcade golf fix from a F2P mobile title. I'm ready for a new Hot Shots that captures the scope and spirit of the PS1/2games.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think Tee Lopes did any of vanilla SoR4. I thought he only composed on the Mr. X Nightmare DLC, which I thought was very fun but actually liked the music of a lot less.

On the SoR4 soundtrack convo, I guess I'm in the minority here, but I think it slaps. SoR2 has some all time classics, however I don't enjoy it beginning-to-end in the same way.

Regardless, I'm very hype for Shinobi. Have a physical copy on pre-order already. In Lizardcube I trust.

Day one FBC Firebreak is a big win for me. This is the type of game I want to check out but would never buy. Also, Eiyuden Chronicle, so I'm really happy this month.

I'm not sure what I'd actually do if I wanted to play most of the games.

It will do fine. I really am not bothered. Just don't buy games at launch for full MSRP.

I think Microsoft is testing the waters here. Some of their games have been big hits on PS5, and if they can increase their revenue by 25% per unit, of course they're going to try.

I also don't buy that this isn't a proper AAA game. I'd be more likely to pay $80 for an Obsidian game than Halo or Gears.

Looks rad. I really like the combination feudal Japanese esthetics mixed with robots and sci-fi. I'm not a Pokémon fan, I've only played one Game Freak title - remember Tembo the Badass Elephant!?

I was surprised how Silent Hill'y it's looking. Definitely interested in seeing how it turns out.

When I realized this was Thief just before she shot the water arrow... then the Eidos Montreal tease.... Ugh, once in a while I wish I had a VR headset.

Hope this game is awesome and people buy and enjoy it. Love this series.

Hype show, Silent Hill looked cool, Fighting Souls was a total shock and everything else looked solid-to-great.

007 was the whiff for me. Looks solid technically, but it also looks generic as he'll. I think IO is a good dev but I always think their games are so sterile looking, Mini Ninja excluded.

Alien Hominid on PS2 is one of my all time faves. So happy to FINALLY see Behemoth back on PlayStation. It always bummed me out we never got Pit People.

An unsurprising bummer.

Solid month, will definitely play Bomb Rush, and will be interested in but probably never get around to Alone in the Dark.

I barely engaged with PS Stars, but I appreciated that I once in a while got a small discount from checking in with it. I'll miss that.

I think I already spend enough time on my phone and console and don't honestly need another platform to keep up with.

Here comes the annual "no, you can't buy another year of the same tier of Plus for cheaper. That would be preposterous!"

If it's truly a AAA Rayman title sign me up. Rayman 2 and Rayman Origins are all time great platformers to me. But, I'm leary of the words "Rayman brand".

Cool, I'll definitely check this out later on. I thought Hellblade was pretty well executed overall. Definitely a world I'd return to.

Not an Elena fan either, but she looks like she has some fun tools.

Guess I need to try and wrap Rogue Legacy 2 up.

Neat, as a huge fan of Sea of Stars, Cosmic Star Heroine and Ikenfell, I'm on board with this sub-genre.
