@get2sammyb True.

Different types and evolutions of infected could change it up nicely. Would be cool to see some difficult bosses, but I know that’s not ND’s way.

@get2sammyb I would agree that it is a lot more dynamic, but I’d say that was down to AI improvements, which is a massive overall.

I dunno, I just can’t get excited for another game where I throw bottles at the ground and stab, rinse and repeat. They are giving you more space in the levels now, but how are they going to allow us to use this space?

Every time I watch it I just can’t help but think that’s it’s more TLOU as far as gameplay goes, I think the fact the sound cue for an enemy being close is the same, is annoying me most 😂

Oh well I’ll wait and see more, I’ll be getting it 100% for the story anyway!

I think we’ll see something at TGA tbh. Hopefully some more gameplay clips, as although I’m not keen on being a Debbie downer, E3s gameplay didn’t seem to make any bigger changes to the original. Even the HUD and sound cues seem like they were taken straight out of the first.

I understand it’s a sequel set in the same world etc etc, but I do feel that devs should innovate and evolve a lot more than just adding a deeper melee system along with the ability to hide under a car or squeeze between tight spaces.

I can’t help watching the demo and feeling like it is very much the same again SO FAR in gameplay, and that doesn’t excite me.

@Badboyfx86 setting expectations nice and low then 😂

Exactly as I expected (and worried about) and posted on here when these expansions were announced. Nothing substantial, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing....... but also not what I look for in DLC, which is more meaty, worthwhile content to dig into.

I’ll wait until next year to decide on picking these up or not.

Won’t say what mine is, but mine is simply my surname (that also happens to be what people call me by). The numbers were a set that came to my head when creating my MSN account 10 years ago 😂

Pretty sure Dan also pegged GTA 5 as being 100 hours as well, so I’m not sure I’ll trust this number.

But the game has been in development for a damn long time, so it won’t be short!

I’m sold. Love Gwent, love The Witcher, love CDPR.

Feels like we’ve been waiting ages for it.

It’s really good, but fell for the open world trap with too much and too repetitive side content. It feels like Ubi design tbh.

Still bloody fantastic though, just stick to the main story.

Hmmmm. Worried that this isn’t very significant.

Wait and see with this

Seems what I worried about (Open world repetitiveness) came to fruition. Day 1, but since the moment I heard about collectibles etc it sounded like it fell for the open world trap.

Day 1, always has been!

Can’t believe how long I’ve been waiting, and it looks like it’s paying off.

They’ve said that it’s coming to Xbox One and PS4 a million times now 😂

I don’t think we are getting gameplay. There will be another behind closed doors look, I’m sure.

Damn.

I missed the drama

Spider-Man PS4 does have major potential, but i think it’s overall critical reception will rely on its side quest and content design.

They’ve mentioned tonnes of collectibles, citizen helping/saving quests and Crime stopping quests, but it could fall into that ‘open world trap’ of feeling repetitive and tedious.

I’m 100% day 1, but Im interested in how they’ve handled that stuff. The combat, web-slinging and writing so far are on point!

The dog they’re mocaping

Froms MP has always seemed ‘tacked on’ bar DS2.

Good to see them dedicate 100% to single player.

Edit: although I will say, the messages have always been brilliant

This’ll sell gangbusters

Competitors finally have something to jab at Sony for this gen. Something I couldn’t care less about.

It’s ridiculous to say, but I’d love to be a fly on the wall in an alternate reality where MS are the lead platform this gen.

1) Cyberpunk 2077
2) Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
3) Ghost of Tsushima

Courtney Hope is Gorgeous!

Absolutely incredible trailer, I’m beyond excited for this!

@FullbringIchigo their leaving money on the table because of the current Pro Controller market on PlayStation. You have XBX Elite controllers selling for around £115, vs this current SCUF which will be priced at £200.

The added cost comes from the “SCUF” name (which granted, seems to be something of question this gen), the markup due to licensing and the current ‘no competition’ situation with Pro controllers on PlayStation.

Development costs isn’t a story argument for backing off imo, due to the current proof of success on competing platforms. If it was a gamble, I’d agree. But this isn’t a gamble, this is a guarantee (XBX Elite Controllers were and still are struggling with stock issues and the Nintendo Pro Controller is always a big seller).

Sony could create this Controller, ship it at the £100 - £120 mark, and laugh. Licensing fees are nothing compared to the profits received for these controllers, and with the current crop of Battle Royale games, I’d say yes, they are leaving money on the table.

If they show up (which I’m sure they will), I’m sure it will dominate. Easily my most anticipated game currently, and I’ve got a lot of confidence in CDPR to deliver a solid step up from W3.

Hopefully Sony launches their own next gen, they’re leaving money on the table. If they did day 1 with the PS5 i’d jump on it (price dependent).

I am looking forward too it. The time is a bit cacky for us brits as usual, which is a shame, but as I I’ve said before, all I need is some Death Stranding and TLOU PT2 Gameplay and I’m golden!

I’ll be surprised if we see just 2 of these. I’m going in with low expectations.

I’ll be happy with just the TLOU 2 and Death Stranding Gameplay.

I’ve always been sold on it, but these trailers don’t really do much for me anymore. 1 story trailer isn’t a problem, but now I’d rather see how it plays. Then it’s onwards to release.

It would be nice for them to start listing bug fixes, similar to Guerilla with HZD. I personally haven’t come across any bugs (yet), but it’s nice to see what’s going on behind the scenes.

Unless of course these patches are building up to something else...

I will give it a go eventually, I’m too busy with GoW! It’s a massive game

Can’t argue with this list. The Witcher 3 is perhaps the best game I’ve ever played. Great to see Ni No Kuni 2 placing on the list, I’m only 6 hours in but have fallen in love with it.

Looks absolutely fantastic. Combat looks clean, and clearly has depth.

I don’t think I should watch anymore footage now tbh.

@Hengist doesn’t sound like you gave it much of a chance 😂.

I feel like this is where the bad perception of the games kick in. If this was any other game, would you have just given up immediately and deleted it? Maybe but I’m not so sure that would be the case for most.

In for DMC and Ni No Kuni this month. Will keep an eye on Farcry 5, and I also already have The Curse of the Pharaohs to look forward too as I have the season pass for AC Origins.

The immersion in this is going to be something else! Can already imagine hearing spitfires overhead.

PS5 in 2019 then. Backward compatible, with PS Plus offering PS5 and PS4 games for the next system.

I’m ashamed to say I’ve yet to play R&C. I’ll fix that in March.

Best month ever, honestly.

I though it was already dated for the 6th of March? 1 week delay.

Either way, it sounds good.

@Kidfried

Different Ethnicities does not = PoC. Which was the whole topic of Kingdom Come. There are Germans, Turks and Slavs in the game, which does in fact make it very diverse, much more so than typical game releases.

Seems to me like this defeats the whole purpose of this discovery tour.

There’s no need to be scared of our history.

I’m not expecting this game to be perfect on release (never do), and some of my most favourite to release have been buggy on launch.

I’m expecting jank, but it’ll be good I’m sure.

As expected, Day 1. Great review!

Shadow of the Colossus and Kingdom Come: Deliverance for me.

@ShogunRok To be fair, Fallout 4 also had a nice slab of jank on the side. Par for the course with Bethesda.

I new there would be a fair share of jank in this, but the depth of the game still makes it Day 1 for me.

@ShogunRok ideal, cheers.

I’ve seen a few people say that the main quest is about 2 hours, is that about right? Or do you not have access yet?

There’s also a couple playthroughs up on YT lasting around 2 hours.

I feel like the “we need more single player games” are the vocal minority here, and I’m sure that’s been proven over the last year. I’m apart of that group, and I haven’t played Multiplayer in a game for years, but I’m also not blind to the fact that they are where the money is for Publishers. The general Gamer (who picks up FIFA and COD every year) doesn’t care enough to post about this on an online forum, but they are the majority. Less vocal, but definitely the customer that the publishers prefer.

This looks great!

I don’t fully understand why denying these allegations is considered a terrible response, according to replies to this tweet. Is that what a certain group of people want? For everyone accused to apologise and throw their name under the bus, for something that could actually be false.

Why should you apologise and supposedly fix, when there is nothing to apologise for or fix in the first place.
