I wonder if they have any SoP or something for fall. Saros supposed to show the gameplay this year, Wolverine still doesn't have a date, 2.5D GoW might be announced, Marathon said to get a date in fall in recent news etc. It could be a good SoP with all these.
But probably we will only get a remastered for HFW since it's been 3 years from the release.
I was hoping for this to be good but sounds like it will be just average.
"In an action game of this kind, which is also quite short, I simply think that there should have been more variety and a significantly higher tempo to make it feel more engaging in the end."
Now that concerns me the most. Even with 15< hours of gameplay if it has tempo problem I will be really angry.
Speaking of Returnal, I am still in the 2nd biome. But luckily one of my latest attempts finally resulted with a boss fight and now I don't need to play whole biome for another 50 tries!!!
I guess I only played Fortnite for 15 minutes but I admire the work and consistency. Those collaborations always looks awesome from design standpoint, unlike ugly af CoD etc skins.
Sad to hear but I can spare sometime to decide it's not for me at all in the end I guess. Same for Clair Obscur too. Unfortunately both are turn-based great story games and I am a sucker for a good story. :/
Tried demo couple months ago. Exploration/freedom didn't felt like what I enjoyed in last Zelda games. Also I am not fan of the atmosphere/design choices.
That would be fitting considering Days Gone's PC announcement was the day I stopped expecting anything from Sony with "Only on Playstation" and accepted good old days will never come again.
Let's see what they will do to convince people to buy PS6 so that they can continue to earn more than %50 of their revenue from %30 cuts in their own platform.
That's the best take about these news I've seen. In the long term, losing that "%30 cut" because there will be less people that is going to buy PS6 will damage their profits much more than short-term gains.
Finally seeing someone who thinks similar to me! I agree everything you said. If only Xbox didn't mess up that bad at the start of previous generation, we could still be in a place like you described. Exclusives pushed the medium forward.
I don't care about this genre at all. But as a comicbook fan I am looking forward to character reveal trailers, those are always fun whether it's MK, SF or Tekken.
That New Game+ part sounds ambitious as hell! I know we got similar things in the past but I don't remember this much for sure. Hope the game is good and fun so I have the desire to play it one more time for those aspects.
Also finished og SH2 for the first time couple of days ago so I am even more hyped about the new one.
I totally missed the official announcement of this. Never played the series but heard good things for years. I need to play but too many games and limited time...
I like first LN enough, really want to play II for a long time and this looks like the next step. Hope it's great! I don't have any hope for LN3 since Supermassive is the epitome of average to me.
I played the demo on latest Steam Next Fest and I was satisfied with it. Difficulty was manageable and checkpoints weren't annoying. It really looks beatiful. Can't wait to play full version.
Good news. I was curious about this one but all the complaints I heard at launch soured it. Now it will be in the best shape probably. Also this is good new for PC too since they would bring the update to that platform as well.
If only they brought and update for Pro. RT with 60 fps maybe? Or something near to that. I would even take 2K@40 with RT. I have it on Steam but if there was a mode like that for Pro I'd probably buy it on PS too.
I love Capcom as much as the next guy but yeah they totally screwed the optimization of the last two open-worlds of theirs. Clearly RE Engine is struggling with open world design and didn't crafted for it.
I will be always curious about Factions. Glad ND made the right call but like some suggested here, why giving it to support studio and just counselling them when it's necessary wasn't an option?
Maybe they can use the assests they created for a spin-off in San Francisco or for Part 3 development.
Never believed that Gamepass was the future. It just didn't make sense when it comes to AAA space. Too bad it was the final strategy for Xbox and it blew without even being "profitable" anywhere in its life cycle. I am afraid what PS6 generation will be without and competition for Sony in their space since Nintendo is doing its own thing.
Best scenario would be giving options for physical/digital while pre-ordering. But for the current climate I can understand choosing only digital makes more sense since everyone can play that digital game both disc&discless. What I was furious is some CEs don't even have the game so I didn't mind only digital version of this.
I second this. I played it with GP on PC co-op. We didn't finish it 'cause it became boring after a while but for 20+ hours it was fun. Definetely don't care about endgame stuff so campaign is enough.
And yeah, it looks gorgeous. I really need more AAA isometric action games. They can be optimised more easily with awesome graphics without the demand of fps/tps titles.
– which, irritatingly, only includes a digital version of the upcoming open world game –
It's still better than NOT HAVING THE GAME ITSELF IN A ***** COLLECTOR'S EDITION!!! Looking at you stupid *****! Borderlands 4 being the latest dumb *****.
From what I gather reading/listening to comments: Main problem with the game is missions are like MMO missions more than crafted story missions. So adding updates like these are much more frequent and easy I presume since there is no need for extra care.
If only Xbox didn't screw up in the 8th gen. I am pretty sure we al would be in a better place for gaming. I really like to see some things stay the same and having "console exclusives" and "dedicated hardwares" are in that space.
I played BR2 for a couple of hours and the dialogues were keep going and unbearable. I don't plan on playing anything from this series. Maybe 1st Telltale game...
It's a masterpiece but I can still get the criticism about story since 1st game was leagues better in terms of that. I loved the experince still, it was really affecting me in a way games rarely does. That last memory at the terrace still hurts like a *****.
Can't wait for Part 3!
And yeah, best action/adventure game ever in its genre and it's not even close even though 5 years has passed.
RDR2 and Part 2 are still the pinnacle of the endustry. I wonder when we will get something on the same level. GTA 6 and Intergalactic I guess...
I am so behind the curve unfortunately. But hopefull this summer I'll catch some of those like Clair, Blue Prince and Split Fiction. Kingdom Come have to wait since I plan to play the first one first this summer.
Alters, Ragebound, Gears, Shinobi and Mafia all are this summer too. Let's see how many of them will I have time to finish...

I have Deluxe and I won't renew it once its finished. It's totally awful. I can't believe how weak it is.
Extra is still good overall but this months has nothing for me, maybe FBC but I doubt I will even put more than couple of hours at best.
