They haven't seemed to care about parkour since Unity (still the best one), so this is great news.

There were a couple gay characters in the first game. One in the monestary Henry could be supportive and do a little side quest to stop the senior monks being hard on him, or tell him he had the devil in him and act disgusted. I imagine it'll be the same here with a step further for those so inclined. All about the choices.

I used to co-op them with my brother in Ps2. Fun memories. Haven't played any of them in many years now, but the demo for Origins really won me over (until Lu Bu showed up and beat me into the dirt.)

They're above average videogame junk food. The Five Guys to Ubisoft's McDonald's. Forbidden West was a great graphical showcase for PS5. Zendaya for Aloy!
Also why is indifference / not being fussed reported here as simmering hatred. You're a sensitive boy ain't ya Tommy?

Sadie Sink is a great shout for Aloy. But let's face it... They're probably going for Zendaya.

Why wouldn't they embrace DEI? Games that do are very successful and certainly don't flop spectacularly one after another. It's like he doesn't want to make money.

"I had little interest in the game, and honestly wrote it off as something purely for pervs."
Literally how I feel about all these gacha games.
Great list!

Outlaws over Ronin? Hard disagree. (can't dispute the top spot though!)

I'm just shocked and appalled at how monocultural that small inbred medieval village in the middle of nowhere looked. Made me vomit in my mouth. Ciri looks awesome though.

Always enjoy Obsidian games. Hopefully they get a nice big sock in that art director dude's mouth before he drives away too much of the audience.

@DualWielding a best art direction nomination maybe? Not sure it would fit in any other categories. Super enjoyable game though. Very chill.

Yakuza has gotten a bit too daft for my liking. This, however, looks pretty awesome.

Get Troy Baker to do an impression of him.

@jvecc it's not too imposing. Just eat once a day, (there's a lot of free food potsaround) and sleep a few hours. You get perks that lessen the effects later on too.

Glad to see Wu Kong make the final. A great example of proud cultural representation as art / entertainment.

Is there no other way to stealth that isn't crawling around at knee-height? Not a fan of that aspect, doesn't seem very Indy.

So looking forward to this. The originals fit so well in this connected universe remedy is making, with the dreams and norse myth references. Also, fun fact, Rockstar has only released 2 games since Max Payne 3.

As Dani Filth once said... "you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter."

Theres a difference between a dlc and an expansion. Should expansions be elligable? Blood and Wine, Phantom Liberty, Shadow of the Erdtree? New mechanics, new areas, new storylines. They could release these as sequels almost. The issue is just that they don't get a standalone release. So . . . in some cases . . . yeah. Why not?

Personally I'm hoping for Danny McBride.

Bioware is nothing more than a hollow corporate brand name to be ignored at this point. The real new game from the actual people who made the Dragon Age / Mass Effect / KOTOR / Baldur's Gate classics we all love is called Exodus. And it looks pretty awesome.

Who can make the most generic faux-Hollywood film score award. Nice.

Dirty dirty game, yes John.

@nomither6 very true

I liked the modern parts of AC3, giving Future Desmond his own missions. Layla was bland, unsure what her goal was tbh. Basim is a bit more interesting at least.

@torquex they sure did. The remake is a partnership with Remedy developing and R* financing and publishing. Remedy get a percentage after R* make their costs back. Similar to their deal with Epic who funded Alan Wake 2. Its a much more mainstream IP though, so hopefully they will get a decent amount from it and much quicker.

Hopefully the Max Payne remakes will give them a nice cash injection.

@Orpheus79V yes

70k concurrent is NOT a good number for a game of this name and budget on release week. But sure.

I'm glad there's a ten pound remaster. But Im still not gonna rush out and get it. If at some point in the future I actually want to play hzd again then sure. But it's hardly exiting.

Finally. Bring this on.

Will probably play this eventually and enjoy it, but February s KIngdom Come 2 month. Got a week off work for it and everything haha. What I'd really like from AC is a PS5 patch for Unity. Love that game.

@Yagami haha. Thanks Tak.

So its an actual disc, right? Not a box with a download code inside as rumoured.

I love Fromsoft games. But if I see something else labelled as soulslike I immediately lose interest.

I will pay £10 for auto loot.

@GreatAuk Indeed. That's why the things that cater to them keep failing, and still they keep getting established IP projects alligned to their demo, rather than the fans who made it successful in the first place. Genuinely baffling at this point. Ah well, there's enough good stuff getting released that its easy to vote with dollars and attention.

@Specky Thats not a bad shout actually. Also, check out Furiosa. He's all prostheticed up in that film. Pretty good too.

@Ainu20 butt ugly woman in strange wig knocks out trained soldiers with bare hands and sub-par animations. I'm not sure who it's pandering to either.

@Fiendish-Beaver they're a business, not the NHS.

@Ralizah depends if she's gay and / or lame.

A PS2 looking game for 'the modern audience'. One to avoid.
Really hope the rumours of Warhorse doing a LOTR game next are true. A good one would be nice.

Didn't this come out ages ago?

Edit: OK different thing.

@MUG3NHC I mean, same locations and assetts is kinda what they do.

Playing this on PS5 was already like playing a remaster. Funny if they're doing this just to troll Garvin though 😂
