I don't understand at all why anyone cares about the idea of 'diluting the brand'. It's all just console-war stupidity and frankly articles like this just encourage it.

Playing video games is fun. Selling more of them means developers can make more and we can have more fun. Nothing else matters.

Anyone who attaches any part of their personality to being aligned to a particular 'brand' rather than just having a hobby is taking it all far too seriously.

@Member_the_game I mean, they aren't releasing games for PS4 anymore now so seems unlikely they will go back to doing so in several years time…

Looks pretty cool, I'll probably pick it up in a sale when I have a bit more time.

As an aside, I really hate what the internet has done to how we discuss things, but especially how we discuss made-up fun things like video games.

Yep, time to play Jedi Survivor for me!

The main problem I had with it was that it just didn't offer anything new. I'm sure it will play just fine and look just fine, but I felt like I've played similar games already a bunch of times and this one didn't do anything to stand out in an already crowded field. The one thing they have is the 'cinematic vignettes every week' – but I found the characters in the cinematic trailer to be fairly cliched and annoying and again didn't offer anything I hadn't seen before (a bunch of loveable misfits up to no good in space… where have I heard that one before?).

I actually need to finish I Am Dead and Observation before they leave. I've been a bit too busy and distracted by other games lately.

I was at the UK premiere event in the and saw the first two episodes, and liked it a lot. Definitely has the vibe from the games down. Looking forward to seeing more of it.

I used to not care at all, but how I've gotten used to how smooth 60fps games play then 30 is quite noticeable to me and feels a lot more choppy.

@REALAIS sure I didn't just mainline the main story (because why buy a big open world game and just do that?) and I dipped into a few side missions and other activities to level up my character and explore the map a bit, but I am far from a completionist and didn't come close to 100%. I'd say I played it at the regular pace it is intended to be played at, and it took me around 90 hours to get to the end of it. The core narrative about you and your brother being constantly interrupted by having to go to another region and do 2-4 hours of samey missions there with characters I wasn't interested in totally killed the pacing of the main story too. I didn't hate the game at all, but it was definitely too long and padded out in my opinion.

As long as it also doesn't take 90 hours to get to the end of the story, I'm ok with that. Valhalla was just far too long and the narrative lost all it's steam along the way. The final third of that game was a total slog for me.

I like mine a lot and still use it fairly frequently (even if just for a quick burst of Beat Saber as a little workout at home), but I definitely feel disappointed by the lack of first party support. As someone else mentioned above, even some ports or PS5 upgrades for older titles like Wipeout or Blood and Truth would have been welcome, but to release literally one first party tile in the entire first year with no more currently announced is egregious. Fingers crossed for a new Astrobot announcement sometime this year, ideally with a fairly quick release window.

I'm definitely managed my expectations, especially as a PSVR2 owner. I'm imagine we'll get an update on a couple of previously announced titles like Journey to Foundation and maybe Behemoth. Will be fun to get a new look at Stellar Blade after a while though, interested in seeing how that one turns out as the previous trailers looked like fun.

@jFug I think we'll definitely be seeing Death Stranding 2 showing up as well.

@Nowings mentions it in the last paragraph of the article. Apparently no games media sites are getting review copies until the day it launches, so no way at all to review it before it's available to the public. Not a great sign, in my opinion.

I've actually never played a Resident Evil game. Horror is just a genre which sort of passed me by and I've never been that interested in, but I've heard so many good things about the remakes. Is RE2 a good place to start?

@BusyOlf I actually got some lenses you fit inside the PSVR headset so I can take my glasses off entirely while wearing it. Gives me a lot less fear of scratching the headset lenses with my glasses frames.

@dskatter Miles Morales is the only one that requires two playthroughs to get all trophies. It's a shorter game so it's not too hard to do, but can totally understand why someone would have other gaming priorities!

@TheCollector316 they have at least three teams, or at least three distinct creative leads and have had at least three projects on the go in recent years. There is the Spider-man 1/2 team, the Miles Morales/Wolverine team, and the Ratchet team (potentially working on the rumoured multiplayer project).

Sounds like pure speculation to me. A Wolverine game is going to be darker than a Spider-man game? Well, obviously yes. Set in Madripoor? Madripoor appears on a poster in the bar in the teaser announcement and is referenced in SM2, so that seems like a safe bet. 2025 release? Seems like an educated guess based on the pipeline at Insomniac. Not sure this 'leaker' knows anything at all.

@Titntin don't get me wrong, I'm not big defender of EA and they definitely played a part in this, but they just can't take all the blame for this one (but they deserve plenty of blame for various ills across the industry in general and for sure have a history of treating developers poorly).

@Titntin to be fair, EA published it rather than developed it, and it was the developer who caused the layoffs. They said it wasn't something EA made them do, they just put all their eggs in one basket hoping this would be a bigger hit than it was and couldn't afford to keep everyone on board.

I'd never say never, but not something I need or want at the moment.

These titles have all been on the 'leaving soon' list on PS Plus for about a month now, so this article is definitely a little late to spread the word. I tend to scroll down to the bottom of the Games Catalog tab every time new games are added to see what is going to be leaving.

@EfYI you can technically play it seated I believe. All character movement and strafing is done with the sticks. You'll need to flail your arms about quite a lot though. I can vouch from personal experience that it definitely doesn't require the 2m x 2m space needed for roomscale, I have about a 1.5 x 1m space to play in and it works fine, although I do it standing and naturally move side to side a little.
