Atreus spinoff announcement fits the bill...
It could also be a trip to the Nordic past, about Tyr and his travels to all of the 9 realms...
Or may be about a different area and pantheon... Persia, Egypt, Maya etc...
Or just about the OG trilogy remasters - in which Kratos was much different.
All in all it seems the "nordic" Kratos gets left behind for future new games.
I actually skipped PS1, going from a Sega Mega Drive straight to PC in 2000, and never looked at another console for about 6-7 years.
The only game that I played on a PS1 (through alternative means) was Mortal Kombat Trilogy . Really liked the series back then - and the PS1 version of Trilogy was the only one you could play at home instead of the arcades (there was a PC version but it had a ton of install problems).
I bought my first PS console in 2006-2007 - a PS2 Slim - specifically to play God Of War 1 and 2 - after seeing a few Youtube videos of them that left me positively stunned.
As a kid I was fascinated with the greek mythos, read the 2 books I had on the subject about 15 times each.
So years later, to see even a small bit of those legends in a couple of games, and very well designed ones at that (for those times) - was like a wish come true - I simply had to have them.
That was my first PS console, and I've had one of each generation ever since (heh actually, I still have the phat PS3, the PS4 Pro, on top of the OG disk PS5 ^__^ )
So I'll be waiting for the PS2 version of this poll if there's gonna be one - from there on in I'm gonna have more titles to vote on.
Cheers!
EDIT: Bonkers, i almost forgot. I want to give props to one severely overlooked and underrated game of the PS1 era: In The Hunt
A very good scrolling shooter game that looks like Metal Slug with submarines, that even has a coop mode.
I highly recommend to anyone to give it try at least once.
Given so many similar experiences with other games and devs, was anyone expecting that every one of those bugs would be solved in 1 single patch? To quote a bit of Kratos: "Keep your expectations low BOY, and you'll never be disappointed"
Sony is going to hold Bloodborne on ice until they can use it to boost console sales, pretty much like Demon's Souls was.
Those are the only 2 From Software made IP's they actually own.
By the same analogy, like Demon's Souls had never had a PC version (hey, they have to keep some exclusives exclusive, right?), there's a high probability Bloodborne won't either.
@torquex Other sites and YT channels also claim technical issues encountered during their reviews (Eurogamer, Gameranx, GmanLives etc), SkillUp are not alone in this regard.
It could be that the pre-launch build has the problems, but even if it does, those kind of bugs are not solvable in a short amount of time until launch, or even 3 months after.
I have it on game pass, I'll give it a go this weekend, and see what's what.
They're gonna fix it in 3 months?
Not so sure about that... From what i've seen in the videos the problems are quite severe... Given the time it took them to get to this broken build, I'd say they'll need at least 1 more year to fix everything up.
Fret not, Bloodborne will be brought back like Demon's Souls was, when Sony will consider it appropriate to boost console sales. I very much doubt there will ever be a PC port though...
Back to topic: it seems Kadokawa is considering it, which in other words leans towards this happening.
Already preordered it.
It seems preorder numbers are surpassing expectations, Embracer is rather pleased.
Good sign for the continuation of this epic IP's revival.
I hope they get Amy Hennig back on board and do a proper franchise reboot, starting with Kain and his transformation, adding more story, maybe even cover the interim time periods not included in the old games etc.
There is so much potential here, if only they give it a proper shot.
@LindyG I don't know what problems the RTX 4090 users encounter, but I finished Silent Hill 2 Remake on my RTX 3090 (4k rez, no RT, DLSS on Optimized, mix of high+max settings): encountered no graphical problems or crashes, the game ran at 55-60 FPS throughout the playthrough. It is less optimized compared to other games, no doubts there, but once the graphical settings properly chosen, the game looked very well and had no issues from start to finish.
I don't really see this as good news...
During the last few years, Sony took quite a few questionable decisions, closed a handful of studios, they still cling to hunting that GAAS unicorn no matter the price, the PS5 exclusive portfolio is still lacking after 4 years, there is no clear roadmap for the PS5 future aside for a couple of new titles etc etc.
Speaking of Sony and From, should I add that Bloodborne is still abandoned, with no official plan to Re/Re it, make a PC port or a sequel, even if all of it's fans have been demanding them for years (and they're not just a few)?
If it's about a choice between who purchases it, Sony or Microsoft, I'd rather have Sony do it.
But given the above, It's still concerning...
@djlard Dark Souls 1 and 2 were already "Remastered". Dark Souls 1 Remastered already exists since 2018. Dark Souls 2 was Remastered in Scholar of the first Sin - didn't exactly receive a visual upgrade, but there you go... To bring them out again would mean Re-Remaster, it won't happen... There are Mods for them on PC, that's the best they'll get. Maybe Remakes will be done later on, but that's another Pandora's Box many devs are not willing to touch...
Finished all 3 Dark Souls games once, don't feel the pull to do so again, Remastered or not. Bloodborne however: I'd buy it's Re/Re version anytime on any platform...
Start with a ~10-12 hour lower budget game - a chance for new ideas to be explored at lower risk. Smaller length also means more time for overall polish.
If the title gets the right amount of attention, demand and profit, only then make a bigger budget sequel.
The second game will have the first one as a solid base to stand on (reduced risk), gamers would know what to expect, so they'll be more open to preorders and retail purchases.
If there are no shady BS tactics involved along the way, it would be a Win-Win for everyone.
Despite it's many nominations, Astro will win in only 1 category: GOTY
As for DLC and Seasons being considered to have a shot at the GOTY is just too weird...
I mean, each of them is actually derived from a game that launched at least 1 year before, game that most likely was also at least nominated if not even awarded that year. I know that some DLC's are so big and well realized, that they can rival fully fledged AAA games... But the reality remains, they are still just extensions of a full, previously launched, game.
Why don't they give them specific categories, with their own separate high awards?
Best Re/Re game, something like REGOTY (for remakes, remasters) and Best Content Add-on, something like CAOTY (DLC, Seasons etc) - those names sound silly, ofc, and the organizers are much more qualified to come up with better ones, but that's the gist of it.
Do you mean to tell me that after spending 700$ on this "Premium Console", it's buyers still have to wait for patches like The Rest Of Us? I'm positively flabbergasted!
Some dev's DLC's are bigger and better than other dev's full AAA games. So there is a case that can be made for their inclusion. Alas, the decision is made, the discussion is pointless.
As for the GOTY: it will go like this. Presenting person shouting from the stage:
In recent years Sony only knows how to continuously raise prices for it's products and services, and how to invest less and less in their quality...
PS+ as a whole, PS Store (des)organisation, Dual Sense battery life, PSVR2 portfolio, PS5 Pro - the 800 Euros "premium console" with 2 cheap pieces of plastic as a stand and no disk, the Bravia TV line that's double in price compared to the direct competition, the top of the line WF-1000XM5S ear buds that have a case made of the cheapest plastic they could find..... and the list can go on.
From a hardware point of view, it's necessary. With RT and quality graphics enabled, 30fps is close to becoming unobtainable on PS5 in new AAA games. Performance modes start looking worse to compensate for higher FPS.
Hell, some titles don't even offer Quality/Performance choices anymore on the base PS5, only ~30fps...
The PS5 Pro's price however, is unnecessarily high.
Maybe because here is no competition at this level, since Xbox decided to have a "midlife crisis" and take a leave of absence.
So Sony is free to do whatever the hell they want with the pricing. And their main justification is that "it's a premium product aimed at enthusiasts".... yeah... BS by the way, it's only greed.
You have to give it to Sony's marketing department though: they are the true "Pro"'s here.
They truly know their stuff, since Sony's able to sell so well a 700$ / 800 euro console with no disk included, using 2 cheap plastic pieces as a stand, all packed in plain cardboard, and called "Premium product" And on top of that, still have happy customers o__O
Oh well, such is life...
The worst thing about the PS5 Pro selling well though, is the precedent it sets for the pricing of the next gen consoles...
PS6 will have to surpass the PS5 Pro in more ways than one, so it's not gonna be any cheaper than it, quite the opposite.
Cloudy the console future is, with no silver lining...
The game is not mentioned, so in spite of previous rumors, it could very well be Killzone, as a Remaster... or as a GAAS Reboot, who knows. All in all, it's no new IP though, which is too bad....
If the show ends up with interwoven comedy threads, then maybe. But if it's supposed to follow the games (which is HIGHLY recommended if it wants to have any kind of success) then he ain't a good fit. Not for Sheppard anyway. As Wrex maybe? That would be fun to see.
You're reading too much into this.
A graphics-heavy AAA game will have no choice but to be Pro compatible from the get-go.
But you can't expect every AA game with lower graphical prowess to be like that. It's a waste of time for mostly nothing tangible. If for the dev of such a game there's a choice between allocating time to polish or to making it Pro ready, I (as a gamer) would prefer they do the former first, and the latter after launch.
May be worth waiting for, but I'm not a patient man. Gonna give it a go on PC at launch, since it's also on game pass. Hope it measures up to the hype all throughout the adventure, and doesn't end up being boring after a dozen hours like Bethesda's Starfield...
I've said it before, some weeks ago actually: LEGO should release separate sets and figurines based on the Horizon Lego game.
Sets that can function separately or can be combined to form a big settlement with different buildings, people, machines etc - similar to their train cities.
That would be cool!
It’ll be interesting to see how this performs. We were really impressed with the game in a recent hands on...
Ah c'mon, Stephen's review is in progress right now, and you (collectively speaking) have certainly formed a better idea about the final game than what was gleaned from a few hour hands-on that happened weeks back...
It's just that you can't talk about it.... yet ^__^
In my european country, at least, it was available for preorder continuously in multiple stores ever since Sony gave it the green light, and it's available for purchase today too.
I guess the 800 Euros price doesn't seem that appealing to too many people these days (myself included)...
@C25CLOUD As I said, "I wish" - not holding my breath, obviously.
@LowDefAl Miyazaki wanted to do more with Bloodborne but can't because it's up to Sony - as per his own statement a few years ago.
As for "money making" - the IP has a ton of potential if continued properly. The 1st game set a very good base, even though it's held back by it's PS4 exclusivity. A multiplatform sequel directed by the same man has a ton of potential to be successful.
Good for them. I wish From Software would do the same with Bloodborne, and save it from a slumbering death in Sony's forgotten libraries.... And sooner rather than later, while Miyazaki is still in the game directing business, and willing to do a sequel.
I trust my own instincts when making a decision about a game's worth, not once relied on Metacritic scores or any 1 single source for that matter.
Gather info from multiple sources, see trailers, gameplay vids and a few reviews and make up your own mind.
You may be right, you may be wrong, but it was your decision, and no one else's.
Risk is part of life, if you're too afraid to take it and own it, you're too afraid to live.
I've just said exactly so yesterday about Bloodborne, in a comment on the previous article about PS5 Pro improving PS4 games: "As for the resolution... maybe it'll make it a bit clearer, but without improved textures that won't serve us much."
Well, there you go ^__^
What's with the Bloodborne image ? It's FPS can't be improved by the PS5 Pro even if they wanted, due to being hard capped at 30fps - not something that can be changed without meddling with it's code... As for the resolution... maybe it'll make it a bit clearer, but without improved textures that won't serve us much.
And here I was thinking they just snapped their fingers and popped it into existence... Too bad for the first party portfolio though, wish they had a better vision for that too, for the duration of this gen's lifetime...

I'm not a big fan of CoD or an MP player, but the SP campaign sounds interesting, and since it's also on Game Pass, I'll give it a go there.

And here I was thinking they just snapped their fingers and popped it into existence...
Too bad for the first party portfolio though, wish they had a better vision for that too, for the duration of this gen's lifetime...
