So the incel-king went on a rant about how his game, made by a studio known to be full of mysoginist idiots, which only scored a metacritic of 81% didn't win GOTY? Pathetic, as expected.

Chuds and incels just can't help being the sewer rats of gaming. Let them fester.

But... how?! There isn't even an easily accessible browser on the PS5.

The mind boggles at the extent people will go to get their fap in. 😂

No thanks. I prefer experiencing things first hand. On top of that, I have no patience to watch others play while I just sit there, staring at their choices.

This is looking FANTASTIC! Very excited for this game. It's not pre-ordered but it is wishlisted on PS5. I'll only buy it once both parts are out though.

@get2sammyb I just cried my ***** eyes out and I'm 42. All the memories and emotions this video elicits... Plus mixed with my hopes for the future of myself and my family... It was too much. God damn!

@arzis100193 That's my hope as well! It's a good game and it deserves a sequel. Alongside Astro Bot, Visions of Mana is also a gorgeous, polished experience that is fun to play and just works. They are definitely 2 highlights of gaming in 2024 for me.

Astro Bot, all the way. It stands tall above all others. A fun, cohesive, polished, joyful experience born out of creativity and team spirit, with none of the maligned stories surrounding Wukong. It deserves the award not only for being a sublime representative for the gaming medium, but also simply for being a force for good.

Astro Bot has my full support. Blissful, joyous, fun, polished and optimised. It's sublime.

Nintendo would sue it out of of existence and into oblivion! xD

It would need to do without the random battles. I got the game when it first came out on the PS2 but never finished it because after a while the random battles just wore me down. I was already pretty fed up with random battles in RPGs by that point and it was disappointing that DQ8 still had them.

I've gone back to the game once or twice since then, but still didn't finish it because of the same reason. So I would only buy a remake/remaster if that feature was changed. Other than that it was a brilliant experience: charming and beautiful.

Bought the game and my partner is playing through it and enjoying it immensely. I'm currently playing through Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and will move onto Dragon Age: The Veilguard once we're both finished with our current playthroughs.

The noise surrounding this game is just that, noise. From hateful people, mostly and essentially. I do not spend energy giving them attention and neither should anyone else that enjoys the series.

PlayStation already has a handheld and it's called PlayStation Portal. Add more features to it like being able to play PS1 to PS4 games natively or some such, sure. But don't drop its main focus because that's what's made it successful.

Lack of support killed the Vita, decent support (that dwindled as time went on) made the PSP a moderate success. Lack of support would once more kill this rumoured handheld, if it's not a Portal-like.

@Nem I'd say they're favouring the Soul Reaver games because they were a lot more popular. And if I would venture a guess, I'd say they'll move forward with that timeline if they develop further games in the series.

I'm very excited for this game, however I find Matthew McConaughey's voice grating and unappealing. Interested in what the trailer has to say but turned it off before it got to halfway. I sincerely hope he's not narrating things in the game.

@Bagwag82 Same here. A bit hard to accept new terms and conditions when the feature isn't even available at the moment. And no explanation given on top of the already mentioned nerfing.

Long live PlayStation's cinematic "schtick".

It's very simple: avoid spoilers and places where they could be, don't read anything related to the game. I'm planning on buying it when it's fully released and couldn't care less about these leaks. I do feel for the developer though. Not so much for Square Enix. Their delusion is ongoing.

@get2sammyb You don't get to call it crap trilogy when The Last Revelation exists. 5 and AoD? Yes, milking and bad. But 4 is peak original Tomb Raider.

This is such a huge W for Dragon and BioWare! Have already listened to the main theme quite a few times and enjoyed kit immensely. Fingers crossed for the whole game to be a banger as well. Going by the previews that recently came out, we're in for a great ride.

I have it pre-ordered and ready to be scared *****!

Yes. Us single player gamers are just going to evaporate into thin air, as if Thanos himself snapped us into nothingness. Greedy game creators like Tim Sweeney that want to feel like all-knowing deities really need to fall back down to earth.

So a 2026 sequel as in the 3rd game right? Are we just completely ignoring the actual first entry in the series that came out on the PS4?

Strong Uncharted Lost Legacy vibes!

I do find that Sucker Punch has had very repetitive games in the past, namely the inFamous series. I couldn't even bring myself to finish Second Son, despite having completed 1 and 2. It was probably the least repetitive out of the 3, but by that point I had had enough of the series, I suppose.

Now Ghost of Tsushima I absolutely loved and it was a lot less repetitive than inFamous, but still had a bit of it, which is just about the only criticism I have about that game. If Sucker Punch is improving that further in Ghost of Yotei, then I'm ready to fall in love with another "Ghost of" masterpiece.

I have bought and played to completion the first 2 Horizon games but will not be buying Horizon Online. I have no interest in multiplayer games on consoles. There's only two I play and they're on the PC. I don't wish them a lack of success with this venture, but using existing single player IPs for multiplayer projects disgusts me entirely, to be quite honest.

This is an entirely stupid decision, likely spurred on by Square Enix's new president. While his business strategy is sound for what is a third party company, which is to expand their portfolio to other consoles and PC more consistently, avoiding character cameos in a single Sony game that attracts an audience of all ages does not and would not endanger that. For all its creativity, the business side of Square Enix keeps making unnecessary mistakes. Unrealistic sales expectations and poor business strategy has been historic, but we can now add marketing fumbles to that as well.

Law of offer and demand. Most people seem to live in la la land, where a business must exist to provide charity rather than make a profit. Obviously if something is in demand, a business will charge more for it, the opposite happens when demand drops. As a consumer you have the option of simply not buying and letting that be your message to the seller. It's not like we're talking about the price of bread or water. Gaming is a luxury, not essential to life.

No it's not? The graphics and art style look very unappealing and the game seems very unserious to be compared to a horror game like Siren.

Just like with Lunar Remastered Collection, I can't not buy this. Take my money Sony!

Opened Spotify right after reading this and... listening to Find the Flame as I type this. Still incredible!

I'm only surprised it took this long. Nintendo must have been preparing for this lawsuit very thoroughly.

It's poor strategy on Sony's part and a fair criticism. Announcing a 800€ console with only improved versions of games that came out on the PS4 is baffling. But to see the year out without announcing any big hitters is rather stupid. As a long time Sony fan I am quite disappointed at the moment.

Well, that's a rather click bait-y headline. I remember having fun with this game when it came out on the PSP. Do better Sammy.

Looking forward to the Welcome hub!

Sony is giving you a full refund for your purchase, so the question in the article about why you should trust Sony with your money is ridiculous in that context. Sony isn't stealing your money. They do need to have a serious post-mortem in regards to Concord, but your money isn't being mishandled and the insinuation is disgusting.

Very homoerotic and probably unintentionally so. I'm definitely here for it though. :>

As I watched the gameplay trailer yesterday I was really enjoying the crisp, clear voice and accent but was unable to identify it. As soon as they said it was Gwendoline Christie I immediately went "oh my god of course it is!" It's a fantastic choice I have to say! Not only because she sounds incredible and adds both weight and charm to the narration, but also by virtue of being the first female narrator in the series. Quite thrilled with this. And the gameplay changes are looking very interesting as well. Pre-ordered yesterday.

2024 Game of the Year will soon be in our hands!

The new story trailer on the official PlayStation blog actually looks really good! Got me hyped for the game whereas before I wasn't feeling very hopeful about it.

Provided the gameplay has been tuned adequately to be not only satisfying but also to reflect an everyday man suddenly having to fight for his life, it should be a worthwhile experience.

It's probably Indiana Jones. That's a game that has third party vibe all over it, so it's an easy port.

DOOM (2016) is the best one for me. Closely followed by DOOM 3.

Hopefully the upcoming The Dark Ages is more like 2016 than Eternal.

Day 1 purchase, regardless of when it releases.

They underpaid for Insomniac and overpaid for Bungie. Balance has been achieved.

Day 1 purchase. Bring it on!

@TheAmbienWalrus I got that reference! lol

Online for me in Europe, but it didn't register any points for my Astro Bot pre-order last week. Not happy about this.

I want a Code: Veronica remake more than I want a sequel.

It's a fair decision. I want both games and welcome the larger release gap between them.
