I mentioned this was coming in the comment section of another article last week. I thought you guys just disliked OverWatch so much that it was being ignored, but still, I know the community really likes Stellar Blade, and Eve in particular for some reason, so glad to see the coverage.

$0.99 plus $7.95 shipping and handling.

The poll results would suggest that you guys are missing out on Mewgenics. Come on people, it’s the guy who made The Binding of Isaac.

Once again, Well Dweller left out of the mix. Probably the best indie I have played this year.

The plot sounds similar to the Dark Pictures Anthology title The Devil in Me.

Dead Island 2 has already been in the Extra lineup. Kind of a bummer for the people who spend more for the service.

Now if they can just patch in a third person mode.

S-GAME doesn’t want the game to be confused with a Souls-like, in fact have gone out of their way to stress that it’s not a Souls-like, and they name the protagonist Soul. Brilliant.

You guys frequently announce crossovers and I know most everyone on this site loves Stellar Blade, so why no mention of the Stellar Blade skins coming to OverWatch soon? I’m sure if it had been Fortnite or Call of Duty there would be an article. Further interesting since Microsoft owns Blizzard yet Stellar Blade is not available on XBOX.

Even more staggering when you consider that doesn’t include the multiplayer component.

So it’s a Souls-like?

@Dogbreath Capcom? SEGA? Activision? Bandai Namco?

A touching and seemingly sincere post from Swen Vincke.

Yeah, because we need chiseled cheek bones and a Zoolander blue steel look.

Didn’t the Pulse Elite retail for $149?
If so, $99 seems like a good deal. They also look much nicer. The Pulse Elite had an odd looking curve in the big plastic headband.

@8th_Observer I must have misunderstood.
I thought we were talking about Ember Lab. Concrete Genie and Entwined were Pixelopus and I think Knack was Japan Studio.

@8th_Observer To which smaller/experimental games are you referring? I thought they had made a CG short film based on Majora’s Mask before Kena, but that was all.

People are forgetting how many paid close to that for a PS5 the first couple of years it was on the market. The supply chain was so constrained because of COVID and scalpers were scooping up the available stock as soon as it trickled on to the market.

@get2sammyb Alan Wake 2 was also digital only when initially released. I’m sure that impeded sales as well. I know I waited for the disc version the following year.

I’m going to miss finding used copies of Call of Duty games in my local pawn shop for ten or twenty dollars.

I briefly thought The Midnight Walk was South of Midnight and was super excited. Mafia: The Old Country more than makes up for it though. That is quite the inclusion. I had been planning on getting that and 007 during a Black Friday sale.
Plus Dino Crisis 2. Yay.

Perfectly fine is not what I was hoping to hear after eighteen years.

Where is Well Dweller?
No love for the indies?

@ShadowRJ “Six high quality games are all banished, unless you own them on disc.”
I don’t understand this comment. I am a physical enthusiast, but if you have purchased these Forza titles digitally, are you not still able to access them even if they have been delisted?

Being able to listen to the radio stations outside of your vehicle with headphones is genius.

How hard would it be to implement split-screen? Shame. The days of couch co-op are gone. Thank goodness for Hazelight.

I ordered the Astro Bot set by itself this morning. Really pleased that LEGO decided to issue it stand alone and that it is an actual set rather than just a minifig. I would love to have the PS1 set (and will probably get it later if it is still available) but could not justify the price right now with all the games releasing soon. It’s going to look great next to my LEGO OverWatch Hammond.

I see Brand New Day has really helped the Spider-Man 2 sales numbers. Gotta love that synergy.

As much as I enjoyed Dispatch, I would still prefer Larry Fessenden to be writing the story.

I am surprised by the positive response. Looks like another bland Forspoken in a Jazz Age setting.

That is a lot of changes. I saw the NBA 2K27 advertisement eleven times while scrolling to the comments.

Everyone is bitching about the footage being exclusive to Netflix for six whole hours and saying they will wait for it to be uploaded to YouTube or watch a streamer as they react to the footage. The same people would complain about the quality of the image being fuzzy or blurry in the game, yet are opting to watch a far inferior video image due to the YouTube video compression. Gamers.

@get2sammyb More like a phone (which is common enough) than a car. And it could even be linked to a plan with PlayStation Extra similar to a phone service provider.

This looks like a big improvement over Crypt Custodian. That release date is a tough one though. I hope I haven’t forgotten about it in six months. The PS Stars program was perfect for games like this. Even a five dollar credit would be incentive for me to purchase it.

@allahver_fist Genuinely made me laugh.

A 2028 release is actually sooner than I expected. Does CD Projeckt Red have an earnings report coming soon because this reeks of shareholder appeasement?

I’m just curious why PS4 wasn’t originally listed. If this game can run on the OG Switch, certainly it could run on the PS4.

Love these types of articles Sammy. It’s like a vicarious vacation to a land I will never get to visit. A really enjoyable read.
Oh, and the food looks incredible.

@Nepp67 What, an eight hour exclusive to Netflix?

I thought this wasn’t supposed to be a Souls-like. Looked like one to me.

@EfYI Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 was released in February of 2025, a year and a half ago, and has sold more than six million copies.

@BowTiesAreCool Love the Midsommar profile pic.

It would be easy to mistake the Insomniac congratulatory post as an advertisement for their games.

The important question, and the only one that really matters in my opinion, is does this affect Hazelight Studios?

According to this article, Brand New Day is “just behind” Avengers: Endgame’s worldwide debut ($300 million less) but it “eclipsed” Endgame’s domestic debut record ($3 million more). Math is fun.

I enjoyed Control, especially the game mechanics and powers, but am I the only one who got burnt out on the environment? The entire setting was the Oldest House. From what I have read, the sequel is opening up more (you may even leave the building), so that is an automatic improvement in my opinion.

I didn’t think it was called PSN anymore.

I do not understand how every disc manufactured has a unique code embedded to link it to a singular system. Is that possible?

Impressed that Hayter is a gamer (and check out the retro GameCube) but his collection leans a little heavily toward the XBOX, and last gen at that. Someone get this man a PS5.

@get2sammyb Where is the article about the 551 films that Sony is removing from the libraries of customers who purchased them? This is the second time that Sony has mass deleted digital purchases, and this time it is not crappy reality shows from the Discovery Channel. This was announced days ago, yet I still have seen no mention on this site.
