Specky

Crazy to me how good this looks. It's not an IP as big as Marvel or whatever, but looks even more spectacular.
I have absolutely zero interest in Warhammer the board games, but this one definitely looks good enough for a day 1 purchase.

@naruball
Essential is what im talking about

@astro911
LMAO indiestation... That's one I haven't heard in a while! Good old days

@astro911
I always loved the indie games on there or lower budget single A games.
Something like Dredge or Jusant or Hifi rush or Stray, etc.

I'm a huge Plus defender since day 1, but lately it's been pathetic. Especially with how much money they're raking in through the subscription nowadays.

Most months I don't even bother adding the games to my library, let alone play em

Nah this is a bit narrow-minded tbh.
Would've been perfect for Tekken

@SmileMan64
Bungie under Sony management? During the PS3 era I would've said that's amazing news!
Now though... They can't even top Factions, two generations later

@Frmknst
For the crying love of God YES PLEASE.
They probably aren't though. Knowing Sony they love to disappoint for these past 2 gens for some reason

Still remember the iconic cover/ art style for this game. Never got to playing it as a kid. I miss these kinds of goofy games.
Everything's so by the numbers/ serious and political nowadays.

God forbid a protagonist has flaws

@__jamiie
I was kinda hyped and hopeful reading the title.
But reading the article made me say "of course it isn't a PSVR2 game". Sad

@Hamst88
Lmao fair enough. Very understandable

Hell yeah now gimme the rest of the Kiwami games, so I can continue playing

@Hamst88
Wait what lol it doesn't have to be both of the extremes. There's middle ground where you make an informed purchase like normal people do.

Sony has a track record of not supporting their gadgets. Franky, not having REVII is an absolute disgrace. This alone makes me want a PSVR1 over PSVR2.
They should at least have some big games to persuade potential buyers and they simply don't. Quest 3 just seems more attractive right now, but I'm a Playstation player all the way, so it's just disappointing.

The reports of this being Sony's last inventory and they want to get rid of it with only 2 games in development for the thing is more than enough reason not to purchase it. You're being ridiculous sorry

@Hamst88
Why should people who criticise something own that thing lmao. That seems counterintuitive.
I'm interested in PSVR2, but I can see its flaws

Feeling like Squidward looking out the window, cause none of these sales are active here lol

I'm a simple man. I see MGS2 art, I get happy

@LowDefAl
Look, there was so much crap from devs back in the day surrounding PS3 development.
That's why most games used to look better on 360, the inferior hardware. When years went on and devs got finally used to, especially the Sony devs, they were able to pull out incredible power out of that thing.

Its architecture was way complicated, so much R&D went in there and I can bet it was a heck of a lot more than the more "simple" current gen, as their games struggle with physics apparently, because most games just do not have it.

@nomither6
GOW3 was just so EPIC. Everything about it.
Devs needed some time to get the full power out of the PS3, but when they did, wow.
360 was the winner for a while for lots of people, but when the PS3 got going, it caught up really well and with some of the best and unique games.

I miss that era... Everything was more realistic, grounded, physics based and unique. Games tried so hard to stand out while now even more niche genres like SoulsBournes are oversaturated

Best PS console to date before they went all PC copycats. This thing is still a beast.
Running games like GTA IV/ V and RDR like it's nothing.
Still got more impressive games than what we've seen come out during PS4/5 generations

We have this success (Hogwarts)
And we have this abysmal failure (SS)
Let's make more of latter!

-WB

Too many soulslikes, but a less arcady Sekiro?
I'm all for it!

@Logonogo
We're finally getting samurai games, so I appreciate them, but we need better ones. We need the sort of grounded samurai game that'd release on PS3. Games now are so floaty and arcady. It's like you're controlling a tall 3yo with the weight of a 3yo

@themightyant
I would've actually played Genshin if it wasn't an endless gacha, so this could be interesting

None of these soulslikes do anything to stand out. They all look, play and feel the same. Same typical game-y open environments. Nothing resembling any real world architecture. It's as if you're going through a Mario game.

I'm playing PS3 games lately and the amount of detail in gameplay, environments, movement, animations, physics it's stunning.
They're all unique.

This is like "hEy LoOk we got Dark Souls, but in animeee! So like, totally awesome riiight!?"

@Gost
Yeah I played 0 and K1, got K2 lined up, but doing it all slowly in the hopes of K3 being out when I'm done with K2

@Old-Red
RE VII! Oh no wait, that's right...
That game is only on PSVR1... Well darn it

Concord made everyone like Overwatch again and now even Blizzard is hopeful lol

@IamJT
Definitely and you are very knowledgeable on this and probably right. It still does not justify anything. This just means their policies are utter garbag and by their logic of purchasing not being ownership, privacy wouldn't be theft.

The dystopian future is now lol:
https://youtu.be/RtTdOBCLsyo

I completely missed/ was too young to appreciate Suda51 games during the PS3 era, so definitely looking forward to these

@CrashBandicoat
Ah yes, the classic BP oil argument where they absolutely destroy our world and wildlife to no extent and then spend millions to create a similar argument like:
"Your CARBON FOOTPRINT (BP made term) is the reason the world is dying. You should buy less physical games, so the world (and our pockets) can heal"

It's always the common folks fault, eh? Missing the point on how these corpos run the world is why we're in a dystopia right now. Not because of plastic straws

@IamJT
I have never pirated a game in my life. I used to do so with movies when I was a broke teenager though.
It definitely is theft, I agree.

But if we can use their logic that buying something is NOT ownership, as per page 20 terms and services, then pirating wouldn't be stealing. Period. Buying a movie would be more of a rent then. They can take it away anytime they want.

The lack of service also is a thing. You can slap on whatever kinda subtitles, edit them, put the file wherever you want, etc. You're free to do whatever.
Merely changing subtitles sizes on my blurays though... God almighty that is too much to ask for.
Who wants a future where these corpos can decide whatever you're allowed to do? We're already living it and it's gonna get worse when physical releases go

@Czar_Khastik
In that kind of future there's one rule that applies to it all:
If downloading it isn't ownership, then piracy isn't stealing.

With the way Sony's going they can shove the PS6 up their bums, but if they go all digital I'm done with them and I'll be done with buying anything in this clown world.

Ps. This already is the case with buying movies digitally through Sony's services. You'll find on page 20-something in their terms and conditions that you can lose the license to whatever you purchased. 🤡

@nomither6
Naming their game xDefiant was the nail in the coffin lol. Sounds like some prime 9gag kid got to name the game.

And yeah, SM2 and SM Ultimate were freaking amazing. Everything that came afterwards was a huge letdown in terms of quality and web swinging (which they had perfected on PS2). They kinda felt cheap and what Activision was doing at that time (after COD MW2) was very shady. They were saints in today's standards, but still lol

@JohntheRaptor
And you can't expect people not to criticise the next big release in the industry. Some people have standards.
If it were up to you lot, we'd still receive garbage Spider-Man games from Activision for a second decade and you'd STILL defend them. You've seen the potential when Sony took over, expect the same from other big releases.
These publishers being cheapskates doesn't favour the consumer in any shape or form

WHY CAN THEY KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS!?
It's always the same thing. Every single game of theirs. Unpolished, unfinished, clunky gameplay, sloppily written. Always. Eh whatever...
Consoomers love mediocrity. Nothing to do about it.

@Lup
> People voice solid criticism over a "AAA" game having sharp edges and probably all the other problems Ubisoft games always have.

> Haters! How dare they want something better for 70+ bucks!?

Good. Let this uninspired copycat of a game with atrocious characters flop out of existence.

I will never forgive Sony for cancelling Factions 2 and financing absolute atrocities like this. I have been here since PS1, gotten all the consoles and handhelds. I will think twice before purchasing a PS6 as I am not a fan of Sony anymore and I think many others are done with them as well.

This game perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with our industry since PS4.

Looks insanely bland, generic, uninspired, fists pack no punch and that one parasitic company is involved. Next

@jrt87
This game can go flop out of existence asap.
Sony cancelling Factions 2 while financing this crap is such a reflection of how absolutely pathetic our industry has been since PS4

@Steel76
Fallout 4 got remastered (barely) and the show helped.
For RDR2 and GTA V it's purely a matter of releasing the absolute best quality a game can be and that just holds up. The insane part is no other studio's copying that business model...

Also, goes to show you how little the gaming industry progressed (or they refuse to progress) since the PS3 when GTA IV and V are still technically superior to most games coming out bar graphics. Very sad tbh

@glassmusic
Do yourself a favour and stop reading out of context outrage twitter whiners and go watch some DonutOperator then.
The vast majority of these claims you describe will vanish into thin air when seeing the full videos from all angles.

I was just like you, always hating on US police, but after seeing the real stuff they deal with, massive respect to them. BUT! Lots of power hungry bad apples there as well, undeniably

@MikeOrator
Lmao hey man, more power to you! And if your gf approves of it, then even more power to you!

@nomither6
They still do, but they're all cringey and childish looking.
It was fun to have a green N64 or something as a kid, but having a PS5 in a grown ups living room be plastered with double D waifu's...? Is that what the people want lol?

Really looking forward to this one. The 6-8 hours for the main storyline seemed alarming at first, but I can see myself spending way more time here

@guestwork
It's like the kid crying wolf.
At some point nobody's gonna take them seriously. I admit I didn't pay attention to what the controversy actually was when writing the comment, because it's always the same.
Bunch of loner basement dwellers crying up a storm on social media. That's still the case here though.

At the end of the day, it's THEIR game. They have the right to do whatever they want with it and the crybabies have the right to stop playing the damn game.

I always complain about Ubisoft and I always back it up with not paying them anything. I voice my criticism, because I expect better from them and move on with my life. I don't have ANY authority over Ubisoft. They can do what they want.

@CielloArc
There actually is a case for AC Shadows. I made the mistake of going on Reddit, but actually saw the good side of the outrage.
Asians felt offended, because they're never good enough. They're always either whitewashed or this...
There are so many Japanese samurai, so many stories in their history, but Ubisoft ON PURPOSE went for the controversial choice

As a minority, it pisses me off to no extent that these people always NEED representation... Wtf is so empty in their lives that they need others to bend over backwards to please them? Why always the victim route? Nobody ever takes any responsibility or acts reasonable. It's always these screeching whiners.

It's so pathetic. I hate it. I never want to be victimized or shoved into people's throats under the excuse of "representation".

Can't stand this money grabbing company from the CCP, but if I'm siding with them then there's something seriously wrong with people.

The blinker lmao! Reminds me of Driver on PS2 when games always tried to be realistic (god i miss that philosophy)

This doesn't look spectacular or anything. It does look like a fun time if it doesn't overstay its welcome. I'm curious

@Kidfunkadelic83
They always add stupid mechanics to be edgy.
hEy LoOk yOu cAn gO pAraChutiNg iN thiS sNowBoaRd gAme. Or skydiving or skiing or cycling or whatever. None of them have good gameplay.
All they care about is to show all this stuff in their marketing and to cast a big net to peak interest from as many people as possible, just to disappoint them.
This whole company has this philosophy and it's pure dogsh*t.

Sorry for the long comments

@Americansamurai1
Lots of girls being interested in gaming through Hogwarts. Kinda cool to see
