Minions were a bit meh but the boss fight was so satisfying. Animation level in this game is insane! Especially moves that are special to specific boss. Hope all the bosses have different moves while clashing with them.
Hope they improved the combat and balanced the difficulty spikes. Also: MORE CHECKPOINTS BETWEEN BOSS PHASES! I still remember the ridiculousness of the last boss and dying meant doing all of it over again.
I was so confused with modern day part of the trailer. Still, really weird way to announce a sequel. I have strong belief that first one won't put the world on fire and will get tame reviews.
Great trailer and my favourite with the REV trailer. That combat looks already so satisfying. And the jiggles are still there which is delightful too. Let's go!!!
It was good. I have near 10 games that I want to play on Day 1. My favourite duo is RECV and Stellar Blade.
FF7-3 didn't do anything for me and after the first 40 minutes it was mediocre overall but still I had fun.
Last year was better I think but I am definetely more satisfied with this compared to SoP.
@ChikaBambus
There was a period of time nothing in the future was exciting to me in terms of movies, series, games etc. I was in a depressive place probably. But I am glad those days are way in the past and I too look forward to 2027 too and we still have great games from first half of the year and Septembe&October!
Story being 15-20 hours would be more than enough for me. I hope writing and pacing is much more SM1 and SMMM and far from SM2 which was mediocre in that department.
Edit: I really really hope Spidey makes a cameo in-game and not just an easter egg or reference.
I am a bit torn after the demo. I liked smooth animations but fighting with minions was not too much fun tbh.
But the first boss fight(I don't know if there is anything more as I delete the game after couple tries) was SOOOO SATISFYING! I watched a youtuber playing the demo on TGS and saying the exact same feelings. He was right. If our character will have unique animation for those fights, I can't wait to see other bosses.
I guess my main complaint is: I was expecting feeling heavier and more impactful with the sword. This felt still a bit light to me.
Still, my hype died down a bit and I feel like I won't have hard time between this and Control now.
I would never guess that would be road they will take since Avengers and F4 was already present in the universe. But yeah, let's see who else will make cameo.
I hate that we already have "Of course people attack because the protagonist is a woman" for new GoW.
There is truth to that sentiment but there is also people who geniunely didn't like what they saw not including Faye in it at all. I love her already but don't like the game so far and I would definetely go for dislike button on the announcement video for example.
Another perspective is while I am not upset Kratos is not protagonist, I can understand people who love the series and want to play with an iconic character every time they experience a new GoW game.
Last year a lot of indies and AAs captured my attention. I would like to see more from them with solid release dates. Also for the big stuff DLC of RE9 and Intergalactic would be incredbile!
Good to see I am not alone in the sentiment that cube really distub the whole thing. I am also not fan of what we see overall like I said before. But that cube is probably one of the worst creative decisions in a media product. It is just awful and I can't accept it even though I've watched gameplay a few times.
Funny thing is I already love Faye more than Kratos. Actress being Deborah Ann Woll does a great job. Hope we see her badass boss fights with some old foes!
This is becoming another Deathloop and other one from recent memory that I can't remember right now. Gaming world had enough exposure of it at this point. I won't watch anything more since it's Day 1.
ILL was the game of the show for me. Other than that I liked Onimusha, Control, Rayman and Tomb Raider which definetely exceeded my expectations. The Lost Wild was a good surprise. Didn't watch Wolverine segment as it is already Day 1 for me. Until Dawn 2 looks interesting and I am happy that it exists. Despised Cube of War.
At first I was optimistic but the more I see the more I got the "WTF!?". I hated the cube especially. Art design looks weird(main two enemy was great). Combat doesn't look very fun too.
Maybe when I get the chance to play it grows on me but as a first impression I can't believe this is Cory Barlog's new game and the reason Ragnarok was not as good as it could be. Jeez.

Re: Wacky Action RPG Stupid Never Dies May, Ironically, Be Sent Out to Die with Fall Release Window on PS5
It's okay guys. Once it's doa, it will rise again in the early months of 2027.
Re: Fable Gets PS5 Release Date and Hayley Atwell in Latest Gameplay Trailer
If only we could romance the villian. She is just incredible!
Re: Unlike Its Reveal Trailer, Resident Evil Veronica on PS5 Will Be Fully Third-Person
I am pretty sure this will be a better game than RE9. Can't wait!

Re: The PS5 Release Schedule for Fall 2026 Is Now Beyond a Joke
What a fall man! Great games are waiting for sure...
Re: Crossfire Is a Single Player PS5 Shooter with Soul from Ex-Naughty Dog Devs
@BearsEatBeets
It tells you about the quality of the series when no one mentions in anywhere in the internet. DD
Re: PlatinumGames Revives Gritty Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game The Last Ronin
I hope they really pour money into this and it won't looks ugly af aka last Ninja Gaiden game which feels like 10 years old technically.
Another thing is: Writing should be really good because otherwise they will just waste the one of the most popular TMNT stories ever.
Re: Beloved PS5 Single Player Game Mafia: The Old Country Adds Story DLC in August
I am so glad this game was successful enough to get a DLC after one year. Hope they contiue upwards with the IP.
Re: Prepare for 2027's The Wolf Among Us 2 with a PS5 Remaster of the Original
Remastered should had been a shadowdrop or at the very least summer release. Fall feels wrong and it will be buried under all the noise from big boys.
Re: Blood Message Is Poised to Deliver the Most Beautiful Single Player Story on PS5
Looks a bit too scripted. Didn't feel like "gameplay".
Re: PS5 RPG Dawnwalker Isn't Even Out Yet, But Its Modern Day Sequel Just Got a Crazy Teaser Trailer
I was so confused with modern day part of the trailer. Still, really weird way to announce a sequel. I have strong belief that first one won't put the world on fire and will get tame reviews.
Re: Crossfire Is a Single Player PS5 Shooter with Soul from Ex-Naughty Dog Devs
Those two leads played in one of the episodes of recent Prime Video mediocrity anthology series about video games. Episode's setting was military too.
3rd favourite after REV and SB2.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 636
Nothing unfortunately just like last 1.5 month. This damn thesis just keeping me busy mentally. Hope summer will be different.
Re: Crossroads Brings Pure Cinema to PS5's New Virtua Fighter
Looks like a great action game.
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Named Revelation, Job System Gameplay Blows Minds
Should had been an opener for the stream...
Re: Stellar Blade: Blood Rain Is the PS5 Sequel You've Been Waiting For
Great trailer and my favourite with the REV trailer. That combat looks already so satisfying. And the jiggles are still there which is delightful too. Let's go!!!
Re: Resident Evil Veronica Confirmed for PS5, Out in 2027
I love how everytime they announce a new RE, they do it in the most surprising way since the RE7 reveal. Can't ***** wait!
I wonder when they will show 9 DLC though...
Edit: Wait a minute... I just noticed that remake doesn't have "Code" which is okay I guess. I need to play the og this summer for sure now.
Re: Stranger Than Heaven Confirms January 2027 Release Date and... Tupac
I don't care "permissions from right owners". Seeing dead people again like this feel too weird and not right.

Re: What Time Is Summer Game Fest 2026 Livestream?
I hope we get to see Iron Man(great guess from a video I've watched) and Marvel 1943 tonight. I am really nervous for the latter.
Re: God of War Laufey Voted Best PS5 Game at State of Play
Even though I have problems with the winner this is still a great Top 5 games to have from a stream. Since I plan to play all of them Day 1.
ILL was my number 1 so I'd at least liked to see it in 3rd but then again I liked TR trailer much more than I expected.
If only 5th game on the list was Control: Resonant...
Re: Wolverine PS5 Cuts Through the Crowd, Tops PS Store Pre-Order Charts
I will go for Deluxe since I am big comicbook fan and want those extra suits.
But you know what, I am glad there is no "Play-Early" bs with Deluxe.
Re: After Describing Them as 'Antiquated', Xbox Now Says It 'Must Have Exclusive Content and Services'
I really doubt they will go the old ways. Maybe in terms of service they can have exclusives and that it the most they have probably.
Re: PS5 vs Pepperoni Pizza: New God of War Sparks Tense Exchange Between Sony and Domino's
Don't care about the ratio; what a lame come back.
@AdamNovice
Please don't try to blend "Don't want to play as a woman" with "Cube is stupid". They don't come from the same place at all.
Hell! Even "I want to play as Kratos in a GoW game" is not the same with ""Don't want to play as a woman" for a lot of people.
(I don't have any problem with Faye at all.)
Re: PS5's Fairgames Dodged State of Play, But Could It Be Rebranded at Summer Game Fest?
The thing is: Why not just release a re-announcement trailer in one of the days in the future.
Do the same thing with latest Horizon announcement. It's the most cost-efficient method.
Re: The Witcher, Cyberpunk Dev's Mysterious 'Hadar' Is an 'Immersive' and 'Emotional' Open World Game
I have yet to play any CDPR game. New DLC of Witcher 3 surely the final push for me. First finishing first two books at least...

Music to my ears! Can't wait for the setpieces!
@AdamNovice
So their X-Men game will be the first time team comes together I presume while seeds are beginning here.
Re: 'One of the Best Showcases I've Seen': 70% of PS5 Fans Loved State of Play
Funnily enough I liked it better than the last one even though all the surprises leaked way before and new GoW left a sour taste.

Re: There's a Dino Crisis in The Lost Wild, Out on PS5 in 2027

I still believe that one will be a better game in terms of polish and production qualities.
Re: Anticipated PS5 Game ILL Looks Revolting, in the Best Possible Way
Game of the Show for me. Can't wait!
Re: There's a Dino Crisis in The Lost Wild, Out on PS5 in 2027
Thought this was Jurassic Park: Survival.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced in Sony's State of Play Livestream for June 2026?
ILL was the game of the show for me. Other than that I liked Onimusha, Control, Rayman and Tomb Raider which definetely exceeded my expectations. The Lost Wild was a good surprise. Didn't watch Wolverine segment as it is already Day 1 for me. Until Dawn 2 looks interesting and I am happy that it exists. Despised Cube of War.
I wonder what's up with Intergalactic...
Re: Rayman Returns in a Stunning Modern Retelling of Legends on PS5
@ThroughTheIris56
It definetely helps. I will give it chance. Thanks.
Re: 11 Years Later, Until Dawn 2 Is Official and Coming to PS5 in 2027
I am glad they were able to ship a game before closing. Hope it's a success.
Re: God of War Laufey Is the Next Main Entry in the Saga, 'Coming Soon' to PS5
@ShogunRok
I'll admit if this didn't leak it would still have a big shock value.
Re: God of War Laufey Is the Next Main Entry in the Saga, 'Coming Soon' to PS5
At first I was optimistic but the more I see the more I got the "WTF!?". I hated the cube especially. Art design looks weird(main two enemy was great). Combat doesn't look very fun too.
Maybe when I get the chance to play it grows on me but as a first impression I can't believe this is Cory Barlog's new game and the reason Ragnarok was not as good as it could be. Jeez.
Finally: Name sucks.
Re: Lara Croft Battles Dinosaurs in New $60 PS5 Tomb Raider Next Year
Looked really fun. I loved the additions.
Re: Rayman Returns in a Stunning Modern Retelling of Legends on PS5
Looks way better than I expected. I didn't like Origins at all and quit it after a while but want to try this.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for June 2026?

Yeah, hope everything goes fine in Naughty Dog...
Re: The Silent Hill PS5 Streak Continues in Townfall, Out on 24th September
