They need to just put a hall effect dualsense variant out. Stick drift on controllers in 2025 just should not be a thing any more. It’s all they are missing at this point. It’s a no brainer.
I was fully expecting Capcom to round off their latest flurry of trailers with a Leon S Kennedy reveal here... Disappointing to not see that. Also the GOW 20th anniversary controller and no news of the remakes or a new game was criminal. At that point just leave the controller out of it. At least Wolverine looked decent but lets be honest we all knew it was going to be there. Overall I would give it a 5.5-6/10
Anyone foolish enough to buy into this and give them your money thinking they aren’t gonna put more daft collaboration skins in the game needs their head looked at. This game is a skin store now. That’s it. Without that they have another cookie cutter call of duty game. The days of decent call of duty games are long gone folks. If you want that go with Battlefield. Sad but true.
This thing is likely to cost at least £800. I cant see it being a great seller at that price. Will be interesting to see what sort of hardware Sony offer up as this proposed new handheld they are working on. You just have to look at the sales for the PS5 Pro and that was only £700 and people found that price almost unfathomable when it was announced.
Am I the only one who is sick of hearing about GTA6?? It's been almost 12 damn years since they released the last one. Just release as trailer and announce a date. That way we can stop all these nothing stories and guesswork until it releases.
@PuppetMaster Oh I will and so will many others I will imagine. £60 is a joke. People who already played the game will have no issue waiting for it to get heavily discounted.
@PuppetMaster The Last of Us: Part 2 literally gave players a £10 upgrade option if you bought the game on PS4. Charging folks £60 with no upgrade path is a joke. Even £20 would be fine and £60 for new players.
This being seemingly “downgraded” is a bit worrying I must admit. That possibly explains the late announcement and lack of marketing on Sony’s part. At least they aren’t calling it a showcase and then putting out a glorified state of play like last year. In all honesty I would just bin the “showcase” moniker altogether and have every one named “State of Play”. I do however, remain optimistic that they have some really good stuff to show us. I hope none of the time is taken up by any PS5 Pro announcement. I would rather they did a separate smaller event to debut the new hardware. So Sony, show us what you got!
What an absolutely ludicrous response from PC players. Anyone in a country that has access to create a PSN account is being ridiculously childish. The only people with a legitimate reason to feel hard done by here are those in the more obscure places that can't make an account. You literally only have to link the account to steam and the game plays just the same as it always has. No delays, no extra fees, the exact same game. It's not like a launcher where you have to sign in every time you want to play. I for one will continue to enjoy this superb game Arrowhead have produced for us and stride forwards towards democracy.
@B_Lindz And you think Sony won't find a solution for those players? I can't foresee that not being resolved in those countries or refunds being issued in certain cases. I would also like to see some real world numbers for active players in those countries too. The majority seem to be third world countries and countries where local law and legislature prevent Sony from providing access. Cannot understand why anyone in a country where access to PSN isn't an issue are giving a review bomb score for instance. I think there is a lot of the PC elitist crowd using these other countries as a stick to beat Sony with despite there being no issue with the service they are being provided themselves.
I haven't heard much furore about all the other companies asking PC players to sign in.... Or do these PC players trust those companies more? Such as Rockstar for instance which has had a plethora of backend data hacked and leaked this past year alone. Or perhaps Microsoft themselves who have had huge data breaches as well in the last year. Then perhaps we should talk about why, if they are all so security conscious as they claim to be with regards to their data and system security; why can't they read basic system/game requirements on a steam store pre-order page which stated a PSN account would be required to play. Evidence of which can be seen on the WayBackMachine as far back as early December 2023. The bottom line is, if you don't want to sign in then don't. But don't cry when Sony asks you to sign in like all the other companies do because you can't read a steam game and system requirements blurb. This process for online service games is old hat at this point and unless you are in a country where you can't make a PSN account legitimately (those are the only folks have a right to complain vociferously) you are just looking for ways to be outraged and offended. The game is great and the game is still great. Make a PSN with a throwaway email if you are that concerned, but stop review bombing a game that you have clearly enjoyed and appreciated immensely for such trivial reasons.
Yet another story where it looks less and less likely we’ll ever get the Code Veronica remake we all crave…. 😔 Just that one game Capcom ☝️ After that you can do whatever you want I promise lol
Super get for extra tier members. Have been playing this one as a pick up and play game for the evenings on my stream deck. I fully recommend it to anyone who hasn't given it a go yet.
I think the less people speculate the better when it comes to these monthly games. All it serves to do is give folks unrealistic expectations and make the actual lineups look 10 times worse. Another average at best month. Sony should really read the room a bit better.
Sony retained Blundell who is primarily who they wanted to work with seemingly. This seemed like a project doomed for failure the minute he departed the studio.
You've got to laugh at these guys. Who does it help?? Why isn't it multiplatform?? It IS, it's on PC Phil! Now a question for Phil. Why did you spend almost $70billion on EXCLUSIVES???????????
The only two games I want a remake of that are left are, first and foremost, Code Veronica, it must be next and then if they remade Zero that would be enough. Maybe a reboot of the first game with an expanded storyline leading up to the Mansion incident. I don't want to see 5 or anything thereafter get remade.
Honestly it seems like, to me at least, a lot of the people doing so much complaining about this game haven't even played it. I bought the game and from what I've heard the campaign is bad. That's not what I'm buying Call of Duty for personally however. The multiplayer is what I buy it for and the movement and gunplay is bang on the money this year. Add to that the return of fan favourite maps from MW2 and I have a multiplayer shooter that I am guaranteed to spend hundreds of hours on with my mates. I see they have already announced more new maps arriving at the start of December too when the new season starts. Personally, so far it's got everything I want bar some nitpicky complaints.
And here we have arrived at the beginning of the end of gaming as we know it. The consolidation process starts now and only snowballs from here on out. Microsoft wants to own as much as possible and judging by this they’ll probably not get much push back. I hope Sony has that one acquisition that we all hope for in them. But I just don’t think they will do it.
Do we get a showcase before the end of the year??? Still so many questions as to what first party studios are doing now. But this, for what Sony said it would be, lived up to the expectations.
The game is fantastic fun to play. Can't understand the criticism. Friday 13th was a super fun game too and they have expanded the skill trees and added in much more detailed sound mechanics in this game. I don't understand what people want from a game like this. I implore you to try it yourself and make up your own mind. Personally I've had a blast so far.
So Microsoft to buy Ubisoft in the next few years then I assume. It’s mad how people can’t see the consolidation happening right in front of their eyes.
I've been playing the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game that came out a few days ago with a few friends and it's been a blast. For anyone that enjoyed Gun Media's "Friday 13th" game this one is them very much back to form. It's a 4 victim vs 3 killer asymmetric format and its nailed the TCM aesthetic.
Twitter will always be number one in this particular social media genre. Elon has definitely made mistakes since the purchase. But the previous regimes suppression of certain political viewpoints was absolutely scandalous. Anyone championing moving to a new app started by Mark Zuckerberg of all people are fools though. Meta is a horrible company at the pinnacle of big tech. Look for a political lean on threads coming very soon. Fingers crossed Sony just continue to mirror posts on both so I can remain on Twitter.
The timing is fantastic! I'm upgrading from 20Mb Internet to gigabit next week! So excited to not have to wait overnight for a game to download. This would be a fantastic way to trial a game before I commit to buying it 😃
Imagine if Capcom was Sony owned. What would the opinion of this showcase be then? Obviously still lacking but much better received I'd imagine. If Sony ever needed a clue as to what publisher to buy next. The only sensible answer is surely Capcom.
I was very underwhelmed given the hype generated around this showcase. I'm left wondering if the ABK deal had been approved in the UK what sort of show we would have had here. I feel they're STILL holding back.
@LordBakemono What a jobsworth troll comment. You were given reasons as to why I gave the original opinion on a poll that relies on opinions. The statement "the only correct answer" is used in jest obviously. It wasn't aimed at people like you who take everything they read on the internet literally. I have made the same comment on multiple stories in relation to Capcom on this site.
@LordBakemono In my opinion it deserved the remake. Shinji Mikami himself said it was the proper successor to RE2 and deserved to be a numbered title. If you don't think it's deserving of a remake then that's up to you, but many people adored it and it was far more in need of a remake than an RE4 which was much better graphically.
The only correct answer here is Code Veronica. It should have gotten the remake treatment before RE4. If they remake 5 it's confirmation they don't care what the fans want.
"On the other hand, Resident Evil - Code: Veronica, which isn't a numbered title, that game is a title that deserved more to be a numbered one. It didn't end up becoming one for political reasons between Capcom and the console manufacturing company. Personally I wanted it to be a numbered title."
@arra1213 Shinji Mikami was against numbering Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. It was going to be a spinoff called Resident Evil 1.9
He said the real sequel was supposed to be CODE: Veronica, because it was a proper continuation of Resident Evil 2 and was a better game.
The only reason it didn't get called RE3 is because it was a dreamcast exclusive and the first two were Sony exclusives. Sony wanted the numbered titles on their console. Code Veronica is the true spiritual successor to RE2 and that's from the legend Mikami himself.
The fans deserve a remake of Code Veronica and most have been begging for it for years.
@nessisonett Yea I actually think the whole thing is absolutely scandalous from Blizzard. Even if I had known about it I was working all day on Monday and wasn’t home before servers went down. They will have to sort this out or me and many others may just abandon the game altogether. I mean they have just taken away 1000s of hours worth of content people have paid for in certain cases, unfathomable how bad they have handled this migration.
This has been disastrous launch for this game. The servers can't handle the player base and most people including myself seem to have lost all our progress and cosmetics which for me was over 2500 hours in the game. They made mention of account merging but didn't warn anyone that it had to be done before they shut down the original servers. Now all that content is lost. I may be done with Blizzard for how they've handled this.
