I still don't understand why they left it so late, causing themselves unwarranted negativity? Oh well cant wait till Thursday, shame it's 22:00 but that's another strange choice from the devs lol
Lucky you, looks like they've put that Black Desert Online money to good use, looking forward to the 19th even if I've gotta wait till 10pm to play lol
Still cant believe they're trying to blame others for releasing their poorly made game, trying to accuse a youtuber who they invited to a preview who came back and said the game's jank, which it still was on release lol
I get it must suck to keep getting asked the same question, but when you're part of an industry that has a track record of misleading and flat out lying to its customers, from shady marketing to releasing half baked or just broken products, that if done in any other industry would have caused multiple lawsuits by now, then I'm afraid you're going to have people being incredibly sceptical, especially when it appears as if you're doing them same shady practices even if you're not, we've been burnt too many times to not be able to spot the signs a mile off
This game looked insane in all best ways, the size of the hordes, the moves and look of the main character, in fact most of the NPCs look very good, certainly be keeping a close eye on this
It's so rare in current times that gamers are united, but hats off to Sony they've done it, almost everyone thinks this is a disgustingly stupid, short sighted decision. Good luck to the devs, and to the executives at Sony, I hope you tread in lego barefoot
Yeah I watched the Blackwood trailer with a mate we both said surprised there's not an actual John Wick game lol Yeah 100% agree hopefully the combat feels as good as it looks, the actual John Wick game looks like its has a bit more money behind it at least graphical polish wise, still be keeping an eye on both
I'd only just seen the trailer for Blackwood and thought looks like John Wick lol surprised there's not an actual John Wick game, now here we are both look pretty so looking forward to seeing more
Can not wait for this, would be nice to see some PS5 gameplay that not just quick cuts, console performance is the only thing Pearl Abyss seems to be cagey about
This does look promising, just finished Still wakes the deep and was looking at Crisol, it's a shame PSN doesn't get as many horror games as steam because they are ideal for indie devs
Still no word from Fairgame$ lol in all seriousness tho I'm hoping for some Crimson Desert gameplay on PS, and 007 would be interesting, but I'm expecting Housemarque and Bungie showing their games, hopefully Santa Monica as well
Well I'm hoping Crimson Desert gets some actual PS gameplay, there's gotta be Saros from Housemarque, all the Cory Barlog talk going round maybe something from Santa Monica, RE9 although they did a big bit for Nintendo. Might hear from Bend, surely Bungie gotta a dead cert with Marathon, no idea about Blue point or San Diego
That bridge is burnt, aint no one buying a sequel to a trash game, especially one whose devs who try to silence valid criticism. Sony really needs to do something about the devs who release crap knowing full well we can't get a refund
@StitchJones 100% agree but speaking of money if this fails hard it might cause layoffs, impacting the release of H3 even more, it's just a silly decision all round, again if they wanted to test the waters a small team reusing assets was the way to go, whilst the rest of the studio worked on H3
@StitchJones yeah my first thought was why not do it as an asset flip from the 2 mainline games, with PvE gameplay, surely it'd have been cheaper and quicker to make without putting off the existing fanbase who don't like the artwork tonal shift, it'd have been a better way to test the waters, instead I see this has already taken years, costing loads and losing fans especially if it's not going to be free to play
I fail to see why that's a reason for Hollywood to cast away good stories and lore from established IPs, when it's that that's made the IP popular to point Hollywood has decided to "grace" its "wisdom" upon them
This could be good if done right, fond memories of this from way back when, as someone else said a trilogy remake/remaster would be great, hopefully Ubi don't Ubisoft it and stuff it with MTX them being the only thing that's not filled with bugs
Interesting choice, hopefully this turns out alright, Hollywood tends to treat games as a lower form of art and crap all over lore and stories, thinking they know or can do better. Fingers crossed
Ah I see hopefully someone else on here has IG and can tell us, RE9 seems to keep looking more and more fun with every video so definitely keeping an eye on it, the gore looks well over the top but in a good grotesque way lol
@lazarus11 looking at the second video they've got of gameplay (the mission one not the boss battles) I think it might be PS as there's a fair bit of pop in when you look and maybe less particle effects, still looks amazing tho and more importantly running smoothly (must contain my hype lol)
@anoyonmus no idea not on IG but with it out in a couple of weeks be nice to see some more gameplay maybe a bit more Leon to watch some head stomping/popping lol
@lazarus11 yeah I'm not sure because there's footage out there with PS button prompts but they say in the video it's on PC, so not sure about the PlayStation access video so I'll check it out again cheers, I quite like Robs Friday feature "Hello you've caught me" not listening to them speaking because the game looks jaw dropping lol.
@lazarus11 yeah he said the state of play trailer which is all just quick cuts, the game looks sweet, just hoping it runs OK on consoles. I'm pretty convinced it'll be fine on PS with the amount of footage they've released (even if its PC) and how open they've been, also they had demos of it at some of the cons at the end of last year I believe. Just be nice to see a little bit of uncut console gameplay, more than likely a day one purchase for me, might even pre order
Be interesting to see what Sony will offer up, hopefully there's gonna be few surprises, fingers crossed for some Crimson Desert gameplay on PS5/Pro, as it's out next month and most of the discourse is if it's actually going to run on consoles without them going nuclear or it being a stuttering mess.
It's looking great and if it runs and plays as good as it looks I'm in, just waiting on some more PS5 gameplay and previews, also keeping an eye on RE9
Man eastern devs really are wiping the floor with western devs at the moment, it's like western devs have forgotten games are about escapism and having fun, instead making games by committee and checklist.
@DeepEyes agreed the "if you don't like it don't buy it" hasn't worked out very well for those saying it lately in games and films, as people take it as a challenge and say FU I won't lol, also the tweet does have it merits as the "girl boss" has been done to death lately especially in movies where they've unfortunately been incredibly shallow and poorly written. But judging by the characters in all of SP previous games i'm alright with this, they've shown they can write decent layered characters of all types, didn't hear people complaining about the ageing lesbian girl boss in the first ghost lol. I'm guessing because lady Masako was well written and relatable, with an engaging story and missions. I'm sure SP will do this protagonist justice explaining in a believable way why she's trained and on a revenge run. Personally I'm hyped, SP have never disappointed me going all the way back to Sly Cooper and GoT was goat in my eyes
@Flurpsel it's certainly strange choice to implement as the game world is gorgeous to behold when it's not constantly overcast. I've just finished what is essentially my second platinum run lost my save for first play through before game + came out so done it again and started game + surprised how much extra content was hidden behind new game + Sucker Punch really out did themselves with that update what with multiplayer as well, but I don't think I could do it a third time, the last island just drains my enthusiasm, be cracking on with online now as I can't afford Cyberpunk yet
@phil_j yeah I was really surprised not to see it on that list when I was voting. I thought it was easily one of the best scores whether it's the main score, or if you're just wandering around or really in the thick of it the music shines. Shame really
@wiiware I never really noticed it even though I knew about it but I've just been playing it again for few hours after my reply to you and now I can't help but notice it lol 😂 although it's not so much thunder storms, but I am constantly in drizzly rain lol. So yeah it should of been implemented better like maybe after killing a lot more stealthily, or just not at all. Still I did giggle to myself about how dishonorable I must be lol but it's so much easier to smash the encampments by stabbing fools in the back or with a bit of death from above.
@Kidfunkadelic83 Yeah don't think the 3rd island being a lot more blander to look at then the first 2 helps, with just snow everywhere I felt like I rushed through to get to the end not long after getting there, unlike the others where I took my time more, mainly because there was always gorgeous vista or horrifying war crime round every corner. It'd of been nice if there was a bit more daily life happening, especially in the larger settlements but I suppose as it's during an invasion the devs hands were tied. A few mini games would of helped as well.
@wiiware To be honest you can hardly notice it changes the weather, maybe if you go through a camp stealth killing but even then I hardly notice, also a quick left swipe on touchpad and its gone. The weather changes fairly often anyway and is quite subtle, the quickness of the day/night cycle I found was more distracting like the dawn and dusk is only a few seconds spoiling so beautiful sunsets and raises.
@BoshBish you'd of thought I mean it's GTA it sold like hot cakes an always on sale somewhere as well I'm mean I've double dipped wiv last gen an current but still how is it still selling so many month after month after all these years it's kinda unheard of

Re: PS5's Wolverine Won't Be at This Week's State of Play
