Seems odd that co-op, even in a specific way, wasn't shown as a dedicated feature before now. Makes me a little more interested, although I don't anticipate any of my friends getting this.

Ronin looks cool overall but I'm still not super jazzed about it. Probably wait for it to come to Plus in a year or two.

Probably get HiFi Rush on PS5 and Pentiment on Switch.

@TheCollector316 Make someone else pay to put it on disc.

Scope looks pretty insane. I don't entirely understand what type of game it is, kind of bounces around every genre.

I'm very interested though. They should approach Annapurna, Devolver or Private Division.

I'm not sold on the art. The hyper realism of some of the textures, lighting and world map are a little jarring with character designs. Kind of a Good Dinosaur thing going on.

I'd be curious to try a demo. I played a few hours of the original and found it to be really dull, but I'll admit the trailers for the sequel have been pretty impressive. I'm still not excited about the straight medieval fantasy thing, but I'll give it a whirl.

Well if the rumored games are accurate I'm interested in 50% of them, though if i were to play Pentiment, maybe I'd just do so on PC.

I thought the combat trailer was a bit weird, but I just assumed Konami was trying to trick new players into thinking there's more action. Silent Hill is a little niche, and Konami wants that RE2 and 4make money.

I don't necessarily blame them.

Happy with this. Have been thinking about restarting Outer Worlds but had PS4 version. Also happy to try Arise.

Hoping for Midnight Suns one of these months.

I admire what they tried to do but the game looked super generic and I think the first-person magic casting game is a hard sell, at least for a straight action game.

I agree with the person though, launching a huge budget FPS as a debut game seemed a bit insane.

It's an interesting co-op shooter on PC. That is totally the right market for it. The first game was definitely a cult thing, but people that got into it seemed to really love it, so I bet there was some interest for this and people could easily convince a friend or two to grab it since it isn't full MSRP.

What I would be really curious about is what the numbers are on PC versus console. I bet PC totally dwarfs console.

Don't care about Gears or Halo :shrug:

I don't care at all about MS stuff like Halo, GoW, Forza, but I care a lot about many of the studios they've scooped up, including Bethesda, Arkane, Obsidian, inXile, Ninja Theory and Double Fine. So I would be really happy to see them go platform agnostic.

I'd be really happy to see Bethesda titles on PS5. I wanted to play Starfield before it got kind of a lukewarm response, but I think I'd still enjoy checking it out one day.

If Microsoft ends up dropping Bethesda games on Sony platforms a year after Xbox I would totally happy with that scenario.

@IAmAshCohen17 They are still making and selling a console... not exactly apples to apples.

Replay trophies on harder difficulties are largely a no go for me. A 60 hour RPG is already a big lift for me, so doing it twice with more frustration is a firm no.

I've got some Platinums for replays in other games, but they have to be titles you can really plow through. Anything that's going to be a long grind is just a waste of time to me.

I'm very happy with Rollerdrome, so I'm calling this month a win. Steel Rising is intriguing too, but I doubt I'll give it a go with all my other games.

I've had this on my Steam wishlist for a while, but would love to have it on console instead.

This looked pretty nice. I'd heard of the PC game but didn't know much about it.

@Logonogo I think aspects of it look a bit generic. I think some of mecha and creature designs look pretty great.

I don't entirely understand what this game is. I thought it was going to be a linear action game, like Bayonetta, but with the economy and side quests... what is the structure of this game?

I'm interested, I just want more info.

I'm not sure if I will get Tekken 8. I got both 6 and 7 and barely played both. Locals will certainly get into 8, so if I go and play there regularly I might end up getting it. However, if I continue to go occasionally I'll likely just stick with SF6, and possibly GBVSR.

@JB_Whiting Similar boat here. I had been keeping an eye on this as I also thought it looked like a perfect "seven out of ten" from the PS2 era. I wouldn't call it the worst game, but it's janky and frustrating for all the wrong reasons.

I expected an enjoyable action romp with dated graphics and questionable writing, but it's not fun, unfair and really punishing. It's a throwback that focused on the wrong stuff.

Oh, and I think the game would need some fundamental gameplay changes to be fun. Bug fixes and unattainable trophies are this game's last problems.

I've liked the Riot Forge stuff so far but honestly never really understood the market for then. I don't think normal LoL players are interested in other genres and I don't think players unfamiliar with LoL would gravitate to games in the fiction.

Ha, glad my comment in the Persona 3 Reload DLC thread became it's own news story

This doesn't really bother me. Now, Infinite Wealth locking New Game+ behind a pay wall, that's some shady stuff.

I feel like getting this is a no brainer with the upgrade path, but the last time I played I was working on my second playthrough to get the Platinum, so I'm worried about losing that progress somehow.

I'm also just not in a hurry to play this again. It's a great but grueling game. It's also damn long.

I might try to finish my playthrough on the PS4 version and then upgrade to check put the rogue-like mode.

I don't think they're bad games, I'm just not particularly interested in any of them. I have RE2. I'm interested in Tina but also just feeling pretty over Borderlands as a series.

I'll wait for Grounded III: The Making of TLoU Factions 2 🫠

I could see Larian announcing an expansion for BG3, but not releasing it this year. Both of their recent Divinity games were well loved successes and never got expansions, and BG3 was in production for 6 years. Larian also said there are practical issues with having OP characters in DnD beyond the BG3 level cap.

All I want to see is first-party games - preferably good ones! Bring on their Live Service games too! I'm not necessarily interested, but I just want to see what they're working on. It's wild to me that we're 4 years in and the only first-party game I have loved this gen is Returnal!

I'm not surprised it's been such a hit. By all accounts it's a solid, if not spectacular, open world game based on one of the most popular IPs in the world. It also has a great baked in premise of going to a magical school.

I'll admit to even wanting to check it out myself, but between JK and general open world fatigue, along with HP fatigue, I just don't think I care much.

Definitely going to play this, but definitely waiting to play it later on. Just finished Like a Dragon and do not have it in me to start another of these games.

I haven't played Spider-Man 2 yet, but this outcome doesn't surprise me. This is a PlayStation site and it doesn't get more PlayStation-y than a first-party exclusive.

I used to write for a gaming site and the staff vote is a good but flawed arrangement. All staff will never play every game, but I'm sure every staff member played Spider-Man 2.

I'm glad people enjoyed it and I hope to enjoy it whenever I get around to it

Already have Nobody Saves the World, which is a fun game. Super pumped for Plague Tale though, had been waiting for a deep discount.

Yes, have been wanting to play Plague Tale 2. That'll be my first new game 2024.

Definitely would like to check a demo out for this. I'm looking forward to it but also am unlikely to shell out full MSRP for it.

You have refined tastes, sir. I feel like SF6 kind of got shafted for GotY consideration, although it's probably #3 on my personal list

A refreshing list. I'm really intrigued in that Sennaar. One of the Nintendo Life staff was also singing its praise.

I've only played Sea of Stars of your offerings, although I have plans on playing Blasphemous 2 down the road - I enjoyed the original.

There's no surprise here. PS Blog GOTY is always a first-party popularity contest.

Good for them. Now please release more first-party titles.

I really enjoyed the first release so am excited about this, but probably not jumping in at full price.

This is a major bummer. I really enjoyed Factions and was always anxious to see the mode expanded.

I'm glad they decided not to be Live Service studio, but it seems like there must have been an option between the two extremes.

I'm not concerned. If they've sold 850k on console already that's likely outpacing Control, and not including PC sales - yes, Epic only.

It's a sequel to a niche game that came out a decade ago. It's also a plodding survival horror game that is not easy to market or explain, that basically requires knowledge of the og.

I loved AW2. It's right there with a few others for GOTY, but this was never going to be an immediate smash hit - and let's be honest, 2m for Control isn't exactly a staggering figure. It's all relative.

Yah, not sure I'd try this even for free.

Plucky Squire!! Really can't wait to play that.

@tameshiyaku This is specifically Machine Games, the Wolfenstein folks. I'd expect to see it unveiled in 2024.

I mean if Blade comes to PlayStation, cool. What I'd rather talk about is wasting Arkane's talents on a Marvel game. I have to wonder if they were mandated to do so because they consistently make great games - Redfall withstanding - that never seem to be big hits.

I guess if making a Marvel game gers people excited about Arkane then so be it. But they were one of the few AAA devs consistently making new and interesting IP, or at least reinventing them, like with Prey.

I'm sure they can make an awesome Blade, and if it's on platform I own I'll play it.

One of my most anticipated games of next year. So excited for Atlus to be launching a new IP.

Looks really unique. Very interested in this.

I keep thinking I should pop back into this to see how it's changed. I was close to the Platinum when Wastelanders came out.

I think it's a solid if unremarkable game. In some ways I like it more than 4, which I wasn't especially fond of.

I actually remember Slave Zero on Dreamcast. I wondered if it was related when I saw the name, then I saw the game and assumed not, and now know I'm wrong.

Seems like maybe they should port the DC game as well?
