Re: PS5 Spin-Off God of War: Sons of Sparta Has Been a Big Hit for Sony

It's not perfect but I do want to see more smaller scale spinoff. It's something they have always done since the PS3 days. Imagine a metroidvania spinoff of Taskmaster that takes place during the events of Spiderman 2. Maybe a mark of the ninja or Tenchu style spinoff of the Ghost games. Hell, I'm surprised we don't even have an Atreus spinoff. Could have worked well as a PSVR2 title too.

Re: Highguard Permanently Shuts Down on 12th March

They couldn't have atleast waiting for one more month to shut it down...

Even that star wars hero shooter lasted more 💀 I feel bad for the team but at the same time, the writing was on the wall. I genuinely believe Marathon has better potential to last a bit linger than this game.

Fairgames on the other hand, might actually become the next Concord.

Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games

One of the worst moves Sony has made. Even as someone who has mixed thoughts on the remake, you can't deny that the team does have great talent. Why couldn't they have kept the studio for remaking/remastering games? Dozen of games that coudl have gotten the treatment and they pull this? All because their live service god of war game (that wasn't really a good idea to begin with) didn't go anywhere?

I have this very worrying feeling that studios like Sony Bend and Media Molecule won't be safe from this, and soon Sony has to rely even more on 3rd party exclusivity deals than before.

Re: 'One of the Worst Decisions Ever Made': God of War Creator Tears 'Total Crap' 2D Title Apart

Personally don't care if the game doesn't reach the same level as those. From my experience, it's been pretty decent. It's clearly meant to be more bite-sized as we wait for the GoW trilogy, and I personally don't mind the pixel art. I don't want every pixel art game to have the same visual style, and it kinda reminds me of Boss Rush Mythology's art style mixed with Apotheon's animation.

Also, god forbid they try to add some layers to Kratos. I feel like by GoW3, people saw Kratos as nothing more but an unlikeable murder machine when during the first few games, they had Kratos have moments of humanity, whether it's in the final battle with Ares or the illusion in Chains of Olympics. It's why I'm particularly less of a fan of how GoW3 characterized Kratos but that's just me.

Btw, ain't this the same guy who got stuck in Metroid Dread because he forgot to use a mechanic that the game told him how to? Atleast Cory Barlog gave full appreciation to Dread lol

Re: The Last of Us TV Show Might Be Over After Season 3

Not sure if I'm excited. The first season, while not perfect, was genuinely pretty good and was a good example of video game adaptations done right.

Then the second season came in, and the best compliment I could give it is that it made people who hated the The Last of Us part 2 actually appreciate the game due to some of the baffling decisions that were made. It's like they wanted the season to appeal to both the fans and the non-fans, only to end up a mess compared to the first season.

Re: Promising Chinese God of War Game Will Be 'Optimised for PS5 in Collaboration with Sony'

@PuppetMaster good points although I wonder if they main reason why you mentioned Evotinction is because I was the first to bring it up here cause barely anyone even knew it even released, including myself until a year after its release lol still impressed it got decent reviews and I definitely think it deserves it, though part of why I never mentioned it as an example is because it's more of a stealth game than an action game.

I do find it a big shame that it's so far the only latest China Hero Project game right now to not focus on flashy action. I guess there's the weird sci-fi fantasy mix Convallaria, which I had my eye on since 2019, but given the recent fallout that happened some weeks ago with Loongforce devs, I'm not sure if that game will ever come out unless they find a different publisher or developer.

@kailun those are already franchises made by the same developers, so of course they'd all look the aame and honestly, whay else can you evolve in a soccer game lol (big reason why I'm never that big on sport games) Not that I'm trying to defend them but atleast with Japanese developers, they don't always have to keep their games in the same setting of Japan all the time lol atleast give us something like A.I. Limit or even Lost Soul Aside (for all its flaws) where they didn't have to be set in a China-centric setting.
