I really enjoyed Ninja Gaiden 3 despite it being easily the worst of that series. All of the videos and reviews for Wolverine describe the exact same faults and issues that game had so I'm sure I'll have some fun when I eventually get round to playing it (at around 50% off).
I don't know exactly how these things work but I'm assuming that any money Sony has already spent on this is lost for them. Is that right? In which case, I'm also assuming that the cost to complete the game would therefore be significantly cheaper for XBOX.
Only time will tell whether PlayStation or XBOX have made a mistake here.
There does seem to be a lot coping in this comment section though. Lots of people now seem to be certain that PlayStation have made the right decision.
If it is indeed a spiritual successor to the MGS series then surely it's worth a punt from PlayStation? Especially compared to the absolute trash they've blown billions on over the past few years?
I don't see how exclusivity could be a factor though. The available platforms would have been confirmed and established when the deal was first agreed. Unless they had initially agreed for it to be on PC and Sony changed their mind after pulling back on their PC strategy.
77 is not a bad score at all but the whole perception of the game is going to be twisted by the fact it's from Insomniac and it's such a huge IP.
I've seen more of the gameplay in reviews now and it still really reminds me of Ninja Gaiden 3. Extremely linear traversal broken up by enclosed group fights where you slice and dice enemies and forgettable story tacked on.
I still had a lot of fun with NG3 and will buy this at some point. But definitely after a huge sale.
I absolutely loved this show and it actually got me into the games. I'd love to see a new entry for PS5 but don't think it's likely to ever happen. đ
I would also imagine that there weren't many other publishers that had the budget to pick this game up after Sony dropped it. That surely limited the options for Kojima anyway.
The is quite a bizarre decision by PlayStation (unless the game is complete trash) but a very clever decision by XBOX (unless the game is complete trash).
@ShadowRJ Yeah they did. I'm not really a fan of that one either though. My Switch 1 is a white OLED model and I'm waiting for something similar to that or a red system.
I don't own a Switch 2 yet because I'm really not a fan of the blue and that weird orangey red on the system. I'll wait until there's a more appealing colour selection.
I'll definitely be buying OoT time though, probably before I get the system.
@get2sammyb Writing so many articles about all of these random Chinese games (some of which aren't even guaranteed to be on PS5) seems like a weird way to admit that current PlayStation isn't really scratching your itch anymore.
@Artois2 Just play God of War. If you've played one you've played them all. Just play Spider-Man. If you've played one you've played them all. Just play Uncharted. If you've played one you've played them all. Just play The Last of Us. If you've played one you've played them all. Just play Street Fighter 2. If you've played one you've played them all. Just play Mortal Kombat. If you've played one you've played them all.

Re: 'It's Hard to Go Back': CDPR Says The Witcher 3 Remastered Should Feel Like a Current Release
I own the complete version but have never got around to playing it so this will be my chance to jump in.
The fact that CDPR are going to these lengths to update a years old game for free is incredible.

Re: The Disastrous MindsEye Saga Comes to a Close as Studio Is Reportedly Shutting Down
@ShadowRJ I know I've pointed out my love for bad/mediocre games before, but I enjoyed MindsEye.
Re: The Disastrous MindsEye Saga Comes to a Close as Studio Is Reportedly Shutting Down
@ShadowRJ Surely it has to be Skull Island: Rise of Kong.
Re: The Disastrous MindsEye Saga Comes to a Close as Studio Is Reportedly Shutting Down

Re: 'We've Been 100% Listening': Insomniac Already Acting on Marvel's Wolverine Criticisms

Re: Sony Cancels Physint Development, Xbox Picks Up Project
It also makes me wonder if this possible bad blood between PlayStation and Kojima could mean that DS2 will arrive on XBOX in the very near future.
Re: Sony Cancels Physint Development, Xbox Picks Up Project
I would also imagine that there weren't many other publishers that had the budget to pick this game up after Sony dropped it. That surely limited the options for Kojima anyway.
Re: Sony Cancels Physint Development, Xbox Picks Up Project
@ShadowRJ đ I genuinely liked it!
Re: Sony Cancels Physint Development, Xbox Picks Up Project
@Warldorf I could see it being an XBOX exclusive as the cancellation from PlayStation must have left a bitter taste in Kojima's mouth.

Re: Sony Factory Will Still Have Significant PS5 Disc Manufacturing Capacity After Physical Media Deadline
This site has been weirdly quiet about XBOX recently. Is that because there's lots of positive news.

Re: Rumour: Killzone Project in Early Development, Probably a Remake
A brand new Killzone game or a remake is an absolute day 1 purchase for me. I'd prefer a complete trilogy so that all 4 games are playable on PS5.
Then I want Resistance and Motorstorm.
Please Sony!

Re: PS5, PS4 Beat-'Em-Up Scott Pilgrim EX Grows with Both Free and Premium Content
