How they thought this would be welcomed I do not know; and even worse how the Digital Foundry folks didn't even mention the AI slopification of the images. Mental.

Almost certainly made using AI. I think people have the right to be annoyed, at the bare minimum it shows contempt to people supporting your game to give them something so subpar

I just have no interest in their games, they don't make anything that really appeals to me. Maybe I'll play Persona 5 some day, but that'll be when I'm retired and have the time 😅

Fair play to them, you need to be vocal about these things and also stand in solidarity with your fellow voice actors. If people start accepting these things all of a sudden it's a very slippery slope to low pay, AI voices everywhere, and less quality games for all of us.

I'd actually be glad to see the Steam concurrent figures go away (they won't, but I'd like to see it) as it's used constantly by bad actors just to whip up anger and get attention. I love the making of games but the people who point at Steam numbers don't even seem to play games, just looking for clout online

What a slap in the face to the workers.

That was incredibly uninteresting, makes you wonder what was the point. I wonder will they add pedestrians in the city because the world felt very dead

I recently reread the interview the leaders of BARB did with Edge Magazine about their platform Everything and Mindseye. In hindsight they were focusing on the completely wrong things, pie in the sky ideas, bloat, and just seemed like leadership thought they'd be able to burn cash indefinitely. I highly doubt we'll ever see a court case about the conspiracy, seems like a pretty obvious distraction tactic

Oh thank goodness! From the developers working on it I was worried it would have rouge like elements. No interest in those, so this sounds great!

This looks exactly like the kind of game I want!

Did the game get better? It seemed like a real mixed bag upon launch despite the cool world and interesting seeming story

@OneWingedShadow apologies I wasn't being more nuanced in a 2 sentence comment! I guess I just see the business model through the code; eat your time for a reward they I don't think matches the commitment. I play single player games mostly for story which is a great reward, mechanical depth as a close 2nd. I'll gladly play some single player racing games for s time, but I soon see the dopamine built into the mechanics and lose interest. If you enjoy the loop and are in for the long haul, go for it! I think the game looks great and hope its very successful

@somnambulance I keep thinking what is the point of an extraction shooter... Endless loops of the same game, for what? I guess the love of the game, but it seems pointless to me. Why I don't play any multiplayer generally.

Art design and music on this game is just impeccable. If they repurposed all their assets for a single player campaign I'd be so pumped

Well, NOBODY saw that coming

One day you guys will write in Euro and the world will be healed </3

Is Marathon getting a physical release? Don't see it for sale anywhere

@Oram77 Sure, but I would argue that PS Plus is such a good value a the Extra tier in response to the existential threat Gamepass was. The more competitors the better.

Not in anyway optimistic but we need a strong Xbox to keep Sony in check. Imagine if Xbox were competitive this generation, Playstation would look very different right now and probably for the better

The art design and sound design are incredible! I've been listening to the EP for the game they released on streaming, great stuff

Yep, distraction from Bluepoint. What a strange way to announce the date

I totally understand people's frustrations. The company hasn't communicated with fans in years; when was the last time a Playstation head had an interview and faces actual questioning from a games journalist? Explained their rational for all their decisions? Sony deserve all the heat they're getting right now

Cannot wait for the art book for this game, look incredible!

I'm playing Redout 2 at the moment (sensational game) and can't remember if I bought it or am playing it through Plus 👀👀👀

PS5 is still struggling with its identity issue so let a few more games come out and add to the library. I'm only in a rush to get the new handheld!

And also the article is very unclear; can you play the entire game co-op or is it just a separate challenge mode? I was under the impression that it was the full game you could okay co-op and it seems a lot of other comments are confused too

I'll be honest, I think this is a really disingenuous article and not up to the standard I usually expect from Push Square.
Taking 1 (!) example and making s massive deal is really silly. And then the text of the article trying to make the reaction seem unreasonable is stretching things quite a lot.
I have no interest in this game, but to be fair the 2 brothers are on the cover of the game and from the trailer I was under the impression you can okay the entire game co-op. This is on Sony for not advertising correctly and I don't blame people for feeling short changed

Interesting Demo now that it's out; it seemed to want to explain certain things but doesn't explain how to hollow, which is in the title of the game. Very odd.
Great presentation and a lot of fun, but seems like they focused on slightly the wrong things; explains why it's been delayed. Still very very excited!

A great State of Play, glad the majority have normal level of expectations. This wasn't an E3 of old, or a Showcase.

As a seasonal livestream, I think this was absolutely great! Several games I want to play day one which is very rare recently in State of Plays I'll be honest so I'm delighted

No interest in multiplayer but damn this game look gorgeous. I won't buy the game but I will pick up the art book!

Animation in the game is phenomenal, but I did feel the new enemy in this was a little too obvious in terms of its inspiration =L Will pick up Neva actually as it's so cheap right now

Super excited for this, but super odd that the demo is out today and not in time for the state of play. I just went onto the store and it's still not there.
How many folks could they have grabbed if it was timed correctly, most will likely forget now and miss the chance to play the demo and learn about the game

I think you have to hand it to Sony and say that that was a fantastic State of Play. Like, really great. Control resonant is looking incredible

Jazzpunk is such an underrated gem of a gem; top 5 favourite game for sure and an absolute bargain!

I think Halo might make an appearance; I think it's time for Microsoft to pull that particular band aid

That's wild; congrats to Sucker Punch!

Who needs overwatch when you've got highguard? 😏

Sensational game, maybe the funniest title I've ever played!

Love the casting choice for Mimir, I think these shows should try and use the same actors as much as possible!

But as others have said; can he throw on a photo of these folks? 😅

Definitely makes the portal more appealing! Still wondering should I just hold out for the portable Playstation next year or the year after though

Another Ue5 game that looks like every other Ue5 game, yay =]

Unreal Engine 5 was a mistake; so many games looking identical without any art direction =[ But the gameplay looked solid, too many souls-adjacent games to even consider playing another however

That trailer is much better than the Game Awards reveal trailer! The siege mechanics look like fun, but I don't have the time nor interest for a live service game

@Toot1st Well I think if something is arrogantly advertised to you, you're well in your to deride the product. You can also argue there's opportunity costs due to products being made, and if games like this fail there might be more money brought to single player games (which I assume most gamers on websites like this enjoy).
There's also a "I told you so" element. When the public can look at a product and say "that's going to fail", and then that becomes true, people feel pretty darn good that they know more than executives.
To make it clear, no one should want to see anyone lose their jobs or for studios to go under.

Always felt like a franchise with no real soul or identity sadly

I totally understand why people are so ready to hate this game; it was introduced at the game awards as "This thing you will love" and it's once again a cynical, generic GAS shooter. You cans see the board room where this was cooked up, how they ended up with these design choices as producers cut away at anything that would have personality to appeal to the most players. The devs making this are no doubt talented and the game probably feels very good, but this is what happens when investors think gamers will play anything that they pump into the market

@UltimateOtaku91 I think that most commenters don't like Playstation is wildly untrue, but that most folks here dislike PS making Live-Service? Yes, sure!
Pre-order charts on PS are opaque in terms of if they actually reflect interest or what PS want you to be interested in, but I take your point on Steam! I hope the game is successful, I love it's art direction

"Could you tell at the time?" Uhm, yes.

The lack of comments on this article I fear might reflect the enthusiasm and interest in this game; you'd expect a first party game getting a release date to have a super active comment section

This is long, long overdue! About time Sony, I remember the guys composing about this on Beyond yeaaars ago
