Remaking SH2 was a very high risk-high reward scenario for any studio - do it perfectly right from the start, or fall - hard.
This time it worked brilliantly, to many ppl surprise BT managed to pull it off big time.
I loved the OG SH2 game back in the day, and really enjoyed playing the Remake from start to finish.
Bloober's next game will be equally risky, being a new IP and all, in a genre that's very harsh and hard to make a successful entry in.
I hope it will also be equally as entertaining.
I hope the trip to Egipt is a prequel to the Northern games, just like the scene from GoW 2018 suggested.
That part of Kratos journey, from Greece to the Nordic lands, is missing.
It would be great to bring his character arc to completion, to see the change from the ever angry warrior to a more "calm and reasonable person" starting to happen.... the reasons for choosing to go down that road, how he deals with the disaster he left behind in Greece, and what will ultimately bring him to the north.
Maybe even how he meets and gets to know Faye, as part of the final game (if it ends up being a new duo/trilogy) ? That part is largely unexplored in the 2 nordic games, there's a lot of potential there too.
“Let’s go build innovative hardware that people want to use to play, whether that’s in their hands, whether it’s on the television, or even other places.”
In hands, on TV, in other places - smells like a portable console to me 👃
I like what they've done with the game in the interim, they really worked on improving it, it looks and feels much better.
I hope they include a Photo Mode, as i suspect some of those vistas will just beg to be used as wallpapers.
They still need to work on streamlining that HUD though, it's still cluttered and rough on the eyes, compared to other games. I hope they at least offer some options to optimize it.
Gonna play it, that's certain, will get 1 month of Ubisoft+ on launch day and dive right in.
Well... it looked good in the trailers but in the end it was just a mediocre game. Tried it for a few hours and stopped, as I found it lacking in several main areas (story, characters, animations, combat etc).
outside of the enormous success of Helldivers 2, the platform holder appears to be really struggling to make anything stick.
Maybe they should finally stop wasting tons of money hunting GaaS unicorns, and restart prioritizing investments in what they do best - epic SP games?
GaaS games should have never been considered such a priority by Sony, given their uncertainty and risk of failure.
They should have invested in one GaaS title at a time, for example, but as a side project.
But no... instead they treated new SP games in their own internal franchises as a side-project, and concentrated / bet everything on the simultaneous development of... what... 4-5 GaaS titles ?
Now behold the results... canceled games, job cuts, closing studios etc.
And on top of it all: ending up with a lackluster PS5 exclusive portfolio, in the 5th (!!) year of it's lifecycle. Wth?
They even ended up transforming the PS Showcases or State of Plays in 2023 and 2024 in 95-100% 3rd party title presentations, 'cause they have almost nothing to show from their own studios!
Anyone remember the kind of show they put on at E3 2016 when they announced the new God Of War? The pride they had in their own IP, the investment in it's development and marketing etc.
Where is that Sony ?? That is the company we need back!
The current situation rests squarely on Sony's faulty management practices in the last ~2-3 years (even more).
Bend - should do Days Gone 2, but it's very unlikely. If they're not dismantled and assign to support other in-house teams, then probably they'll be given a new smaller IP. Bluepoint - for now they should be tasked to give the Bloodborne IP the comeback it rightfully deserves - it makes 10 this year, the least Sony can do is announce a Remaster/Remake.
No one could have predicted people don't want even more Playstation GaaS games in their lives!
Sony's entire console success since more than 20 years ago was based on Gaa... Oh...
Well, that's a good news twofer !
Cancelled live-service God of War game - perfect!
And Bluepoint is free to take on a new title - even more so!
Now can we hope for a Bloodborne Remaster/Remake/Sequel? (yes I know about Yoshida's "theory", but I won't believe it until proven).
Problem in POE2 is the current economy, needs rework and a reset, which will come in the next big patch.
But one should remember though, this game is currently in Early access - it's not finalized. A fact that for many out there tends to get lost/forgotten...
As it's well known, an RPG of this scale needs a lot of time to balance properly, be patient. GGG is not the current Blizzard, give them time, they'll get it right.
For now it's a very good and fun game, and offers a lot play hours for basically a beta stage release and for the sum of 30$. Not to mention it's gonna be free once it launches...

@Steeleye50 No problem. However, Ubisoft+ doesn't stream, you download the whole game on your device and play it. As usual, you just have to be online while playing, and that's about it.
It's exactly like the games from PS+ Essential or from Game Pass (didn't try Ubisoft+ on my PS5, but I used it on PC 2-3 times, for other games).
And since you already have a good internet connection, downloading the game will also be easy.
@Steeleye50 Get 1 month of Ubisoft+ Premium for 18$ and play the game on launch day (usually in this version they include all the digital content found in the Premium edition of the game, so you'll miss nothing)...
And if you want to buy it, get the full game + DLC's after about 2-3 years, for about the same 15-20$ price.
"This is the way!" to work around Ubisoft's greed and still enjoy one of their games at launch.
I was really hoping the game would release next month, if only to finally put a stop to all of the "drama and attention" seekers around the social media.
Can't wait for launch day and all the useless whining about this game to be over.
Would have seen this one being made as an anime movie instead, but it seems they have big plans. If it pans out, I'm curious to see how would they pull that off, since the game has a nice but very simple/short story and not much lore, 90% of it's success sitting squarely on it's gameplay mechanics.
I've been using Rest Mode ever since it was invented (PS4), with
no major issues on either of my consoles, PS4 Pro or PS5.
Mostly because I can resume the game exactly where I left it.
Also, if I find a promotion on PS Store, I usually buy it from PC (I have to buy top-up cards to add wallet funds, and this process is much faster on PC). Then I remotely start the game download on the console without having turn it on (I can do this from work and have the game ready to play when I get home).
Imo, in the next few years Sony, Microsoft (and certainly others) will make heavy pushes towards streaming and cloud gaming.
It's already started, with both of them.
Microsoft is slowly but surely making it's exit from hardware consoles (now "every device is an xbox", eh? Marketing BS for "streaming is the future", on any device that's online: consoles, TV's, phones/tablets, handhelds, PC/laptop etc).
And Sony is already strongly pushing towards digital games on PS5 Pro, and online game steaming on it's Portal device...
Be prepared for PS6 to be the last classic (desktop) playstation console.
In the next few years Sony will release a new handheld device, akin to Steam deck, that will run alongside the desktop hardware PS5 Pro and PS6, and alongside plain Portal device.
In order to get it's clients to let go of desktop consoles, and get more and more used to the idea of portability and online streaming - help make the transition easier.
PS5 Pro and PS6 will, of course, be supported for some years to come.
But, imo, by 2035 (the 7 year life-span of PS6) those 2 platforms will be phased out and replaced with handhelds.
And beyond 2040 online streaming on TV's, phones and "plain" devices like Portal (no processing power, online streaming only) will be all that remains from the existing consoles...
And if you adorn a tin-foil hat for a second, you can say this is the best way for those corporations to control everything gaming-related. From what you play, to how you play, to for how long and how much you must pay for them all.
Gone will be the days of disk sharing, game preservation efforts, "game owning" discussions etc.
You either accept what shtuff they make available, at the prices and duration they make it available for, or you can stop gaming.
If you don't like it, you can go to the competition.... good luck, 'cause that's gonna be... ummm... no one.
But that's all fairy tales, I know...
Got 2,5 weeks of free time (national free days mixted with vacation days in between). So I'll be spending time with my family, and pepper gaming hours when possible. Backlog is the main word, also new and old games, first play or replay. POE 2, Indiana Jones, Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered, Star Wars Outlaws, Bloodborne, Star Craft 2, just to name a few...
Happy holidays everyone! Spend, eat and drink judiciously, stay healthy, be positive, spend time with your loved ones, and enjoy yourselves! Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and productive 2025!
Oh c'mon, cut the scripted BS crap already (Sony) !
All of the content shown in the video is either from older trailers (even the apparently "gameplay" ones), or from in-game cutscenes.
You want to show how the game looks on PS5 Pro?
Provide an actual gameplay video, not this carefully curated... shtuff.
I've finished the game 3 times already, twice on PS5 and once on PC.
It's an impressive graphical achievement indeed, hell I've saved a lot of landscape wallpapers from this game, it's that good looking.
But if you compare the actual game with what's shown in this video (and previously shown official trailers for that matter) it barely gets to 75-80% of the details shown in the official videos... you won't obtain the exact same level of quality during actual gameplay even on PC with everything cranked to max at 4k res and no DLSS/FSR... Get serious Sony and stop misleading ppl.
If it were any other dev, recycling bosses would have generated a lot of drama of social media. But since it's From Software, this is "intriguing", and welcomed, innit?
Yeah, but being "Elden Ring" and "From Software", they'll get away easily with just a breezy verbal display, won't they? No backlash, no social media drama, just business as usual. If this would have been another title/dev, all hell would have been broken loose...
The fault lies in their own expectations. Not like they didn't have Mario as an example for so many years.
Never underestimate family games, bub! Not when it comes to appreciation and awards. They have a good habit of swiping awards from epic AAA games when you least expect it.
If a secondary team at From Software was in charge of this "spinoff", i've got nothing against it. But if this is what they (as a studio) are mainly concentrating on for the next year or so... it's very disappointing. I get that they're trying to adapt the Souls formula to various game genre, but they should stop milking Elden Ring already... The main game was already the IP's peak, and it's DLC started pushing it slowly on a downward path. Any other iteration will only drag it further down...
Why would the reporter expect one of the "medium stratum" to know what the top hats are doing? He may be the chief of his department, but that's still a few floors lower than the "decision making party" level.
This weekend it's gonna be a mix of Path of Exile 2, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered, a few hours of Indiana Jones and maybe throw in a few missions from Starcraft 2 Zerg campaign for good measure.
There's diversity in not having a preferred genre, and good games don't take sides... or prisoners (that last part may not be true though, considering they "capture" you for hours at a time, and before you realize it's already morning - but it's a prison of joy, since you loved every minute of it👍)
'Nuf rambling about - have a fun weekend everyone!
As long as it depends on a full game to actually run, a DLC should not be considered for GOTY. If the devs want it to make it eligible they should make it stand-alone, for example like Miles Morales was to the main Spider-Man game.
Already preordered. Even though I wish they would have gone the full mile with proper Remakes, I'm really looking forward to replay them both (must be for the 7th or 8th time? Can't remember precisely).
I hope our contributions will show the devs there is still demand for this beloved IP, and they'll decide to further enrich the franchise with Remakes of the 2 Blood Omen games and LoK: Defiance.... maybe it will even inspire them to create new releases in this fabulous universe.
Finally, we are so close!
For an early access, the game looks amazing and offers quite a lot of content, solo and multiplayer!
Gives a much needed lesson to other competitors, innit?
( Blizzard, take notes! ).
@Ravix Make that 450$ - the ones that payed 451$-479$ can still buy some packs in the first game to make up the difference, while still paying less than 30$.
It may be a game, but the general Chinese knockoff of a known brand is nothing new....
Just remember shoes like Abidas, Daiads, Neke, Mike, or coffee shops like Sunbucks, or fast foods like Pizza Huh, KFG or consoles like X-Boy, Terminator, Game Child, Polystation etc.
