@JayJ I hear you. I love all their exclusives and 3rd person action games. I hope they never stop making them. However, I agree we need some diversity. They need a shooter. Killzone was like a cult classic, esp with the multiplayer, but honestly I loved that games online component. It was a nice alternative to COD and BF. Resistance 3's multiplayer was a ton of fun as well as being a great FPS campaign. Already stated Motorstorm needs to come back, would fill an arcade racer void.

The problem is that game dev'ing takes way too freaking long these days. Minimum 5yrs between AAA IP. So I understand why we're getting what we're getting. But I think the number of 1st party devs needed to grow, so you can put other teams on a FPS shooter, arcade racer, etc. Or maybe don't give them Live service crap and let them make some diff genre's. Idk man, the games industry is a crazy beast all around.

Wasn't Sony London the studio that developed The Getaway series back in the day, or do i have that mixed up?

@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah, the game def gets glazed alot. I'm glad people are enjoying it. I don't agree with hating on a game when its not your thing. But there's also the reverse of that in this day and age that's equally cringey, where the people who love it are cult like and need to glaze it and pound it in your head that said game is GOAT status. Games are so subjective like music and movies. Everyone has different tastes. But in other forms of media, people don't try to push their beliefs on others like in gaming. Not even in sports. People don't try to convert other sports fan's into liking whatever their team is. Gaming is a very unique beast in society.

@yazzika I agree with you 100%. Its almost like console makers and dev's have labeled arcade racers too niche to put $$$ into, yet they dump 100's of million into live service games they have no problem cancelling and taking the loss. weird times

@wildcat_kickz sweet bro, I'm glad to hear you are enjoying it. I'm not the type of gamer who dislikes a game and then feels I gotta preach and convince the choir that the game is trash lol. I've been playing Hotline Miami 2 recently and have a load of games I got on the black Friday sale all simmering on the back burner, waiting to fire.

@wildcat_kickz I appreciate the tip, but I dumped this game over a week ago to play other things. It was fun for a week and a half, then became a repetitive boring slog. Therefore, those quests no longer exist to me. I hope you are still enjoying though. Some games aren't for everyone, I know that.

Probably because the boring a** quests gave you zero direction on where to go, that google became a go-to for Raiders. Kinda funny when the tasks were nothing but "go here and hit X button"......"do the same but over here" wash, rinse, repeat the whole game. Lame after a couple weeks.

Intergalactic trailer #2 please Santa!!! Its all I want for Christmas. I swear I'll never ask for anything else again. I'll become a model citizen. I'll quit smoking, porn, licking frogs, acid and women, if we can just get that trailer!!!

PlayStation needs a great arcade racer. Please bring back Motor Storm. That series was great when it was a thing. So much fun too. The multiplayer was a blast, esp in Motorstorm apocalypse.

Jayyyssssooonnnnn!

@Oram77 Atsu would behead any fool brave enough to call Yotei a flop to her face, with a finely crafted weapon, that would make a hanzo sword look like a rusty old butter knife.

The casual audience will always like COD because it takes zero skill to hold your own in any match. And if you do happen to have some twitchy shooter chops you can easily pop off min. 25+kills a match. Battlefield makes you work for your kills. I can picture the yearly excl. COD player running into the open trying to be Rambo in a match of Breakthrough or Conquest and getting pasted, over and over and over. lmao

I'm surprised greedy Microsoft hasn't tried to buy up every single supply chain, factory floor, company etc that has anything to do with manufacturing RAM, to try to corner every electronics industry on the planet. Not just gaming. Since their motto with xbox has always been "don't invest in home grown dev's to make quality AAA 1st party games, just buy everyone out and have them do it" (or at least try) lmao

It looks like it has alot of promise, nice to see new things. But it seems to suffer from an identity crisis IMO. The backdrop is obv Asian flavored overall, but then has a bit of steampunk vibe. Then it looks uber futuristic like a transformer's movie with that big mech looking boss throwing buses around. Just some observations, but I'm all for new IP so. Willing to be patient.

The one I care about that is lost in eternal limbo by Eidos is Deus Ex. We need more cyberpunk themed games overall, but especially in the RPG genre such as Deus and CP2077.

@EYEBALL @Oram77 @get2sammyb When game journalists are invited to visit Bungie for a behind closed doors game showcase/preview, they get their tattoos copyrighted ahead of the trip just in case.

@ButterySmooth30FPS You're abso right. I tried this on gamepass awhile ago. Everything was just so hokey like that to me. I prefer more serious tones for those types of games. Its ashame, cause if you remember the debut trailer, it had a dark fantasy theme ala Darksouls.

Then the usual Xbox smoke and mirros was revealed and the game turned out to be colorful like outerworlds and too whimsical like harry potter.

@ApostateMage that's the only problem I had with outerworlds2. I just beat it this past weekend and enjoyed the experience. But after so many hours, I was ready to be done with it. Skyrim/new vegas were the last 2 great Obsidian/Bethesda developed and style RPG's. Its seems like they lost all their special sauce. With Fromsoft, they seem to exceed expectations and their own chops with every release. Look at the evolution of what Elden ring was.

Starfield was just ok, but forgotten about fast. That game should have been epic. Avowed, outerworlds 1 & 2.....Solid but not even close to the level of Old school Bethesda likes.

@Svark the article was posted 5mins before you made your first comment....??? lol

@Gremio108 lol I love this comment. So the lever is buried somewhere or behind an invisible wall? Not to change the subject, but we need a new soulsborne from the masters themselves. Its been a minute.

This is good news actually. We need more new IP in gaming. Still not sure if its a brand new game, but at least Diablo and GOW are shot down. The 2 which seemed to be obvious to the sleuth's. We shall see

I reiterated what Digital foundry said in a latest video on this game, that this is a totally pointless re-release and I got blasted by some here. Now another article confirming that the consensus didn't ask R* for this garbage. Remake all together in a modern engine, or forget it.

@DennisReynolds @Kiefer-Sutherland i know patches for bugs have been around for ages, i was talking performance updates. STRICTLY PERFORMANCE UPDATES! UNDERSTAND!?!?! PERFORMANCE UPDATES!

Like raising FRAME RATES, raising RESOLUTION, stuff like that. UNDERSTAND??? That's what my initial comment was referring to. Max performance should be achieved at launch. Fix bugs later, as usual. I get it. Do you get it?? Obv not, doesn't seem like you understand.

Maaaannn, you guys replying to me, are misconstruing every post i make about this, or you all wanna hear something diff. I think this is a case of "my beloved yotei and sucker punch" from you guys and you want to hear something different and not someone who is going against the grain as to what they are doing with this game here. There's no way you can misconstrue what I said so easily so this is fanboyism at its finest by you guys on display here.

That said, this debate is pointless. I'm out.

@DennisReynolds welcome to modern gaming? lmao. No its has not been like this since 2010 dude, not for 15years. Not sure what you are smoking. Having graphics options on console games was not around at that time. Everything was locked into whatever they launched. Bugs were patched, that's it.

Was never my thing, but happy for those who are into this series. I don't consider them on the level of Naughty Dog, SuckerP, or CDPR. So if they want to continue a franchise I'm not into, then fine, I'm happy for those who enjoy

@DennisReynolds I understand, its worth waiting. But why should I have to? Gaming isn't cheap. The games are $70 a piece, they take 5+ yrs to make the AAA 1st party and in this case my Ps5pro was pricey too. I'm very happy with the console. But with all this said, why can' t I play the final product on launch day?

@Shigurui yes but not remade in the RDR2 engine. You didn't read what I had to say correctly.

@DennisReynolds let them whine, I don't care. Do we have any stock purchased in peoples minds that is affected by whether they complain or not and it affects our investments? lol no.

At least a total remake made with the RDR2 engine, running at 60fps would be worth repackaging. That's all i'm saying. There's even a video Digital foundry made on how pointless this game re-release is. So many share this sentiment.

Another cryptic teaser, probably for 10 new poses in photo mode. I abso love this game, one of my faves. But stop with this nonsense, unless you are going to surprise everyone with more DLC. Phantom Liberty was one of the best expansions in the history of games. Why just make 1 expansion, for a game here that sold 35+ million? But didn't they already say Phantom was gonna be a one and only?

This release is pointless. Remake the game in RDR2 engine, but make it 60fps so the character doesn't control like a forklift with an electric RC car motor, like the abomination that was RDR2 and then we'll talk.

Listen, I loved this game and love SP. But I beat this game awhile ago and I invested in a ps5pro on launch day. Dev's need to stop this crap. Put the game out in its ultimate state at launch please!!!! I invested all the $$$$ in pro to have all these bell's and whistles while I play the game, not when its shelved and beaten. I'm happy for others, but man!

Its not just SP, I'm not picking on them. A ton dev's have been doing this crap for years now.

@BusyOlf then it would be too much like Dying light. The thing that gave the first game its charm is how it took place essentially in the shopping mall

@GirlVersusGame Def not how E3 was. Cause there are still awards to give out. What I'm saying is, its the closest thing we have to E3 now, since its death. For announcements anyways. Gamescom is more of a games focused event like E3 was, but Sony barely has a presence there. They've sat out gamescom 6yrs now. There's no real bangers revealed there like E3 used to have by any of the companies.

That said, Intergalactic being announced at last years game awards outshined any announcement out of any of the remaining shows by far.

Plus witcher 4 was shown for the first time as well as Okami 2 revealed, Elden ring nightreign revealed, split fiction revealed, Yakuza dev's new game revealed, Fumito's (ico, shadow of collosus) new game revealed, Dispatch revealed, Onimusha reboot revealed, NG:ragebound revealed and there's more, but you get the point.

So yeah, thats a laundry list of great games revealed at last years GA's. No show since the death of E3 can touch that list. Since thats the case and E3 is dead, give me GA's all night long once a year so we have at least something.

@MrGawain I know you are kind of joking, but Geoff is known to be cringey with his hype trains that turn out to be jack sh**. Not on the level of promoting Doritos/mountain dew, but on a gaming level that is far from needing a cryptic post with some art, or ingame screenshot he posted for whatever this is. If its DLC for a game that's been out for 5 to 10yrs, that will be gross

@GirlVersusGame i agree with you 100%, more about the company for sure. Honestly, I don't like any kind of pre-show hype and/or cryptic posts at all, for any game new/old/DLC, nothing. I am old school and still miss the early days of E3. I like to find things out organically by just watching the shows and being surprised.

This is why i was pissed about the colin moriarty and the other guy posting about intergalactic a month before this years show, saying that it will not be at the GA's this year. That was my soul reason to get hyped for the show this year, becuase I'm a huge ND fan and was certain that Intergalactic trailer #2 would be there, since its fairly far into development and it hasn't been shown since last Dec. But no, all this pre-show internet chatter shot that down a month in advance. I hate that.

I will still be turning in obv, cause GA's basically being E3 now, you know Sony will have some surprises to show. But Intergalactic has me so intrigued. I'm dying to see what exactly that game is all about. can't help but get hyped over ND doing their first brand new IP since TLOU came out 13yrs ago this coming June

@GirlVersusGame so a big cryptic tease and hype train over a DLC for a game that's been out for ages now??? Lame if true!

@Tulio517 that would be lame. no offense to diablo fans or the game. But I can't stand when DLC and/or expansions get huge spots in state of plays or any kind of show like this. Esp when its a cryptic tease. DLC is for games that already exist and we know about, a cryptic tease is not needed.

@MrStrange Stellar blade was fantastic and I can't wait for a sequel. but we already know that is a thing. So best case is a brand new 1st party IP for playstation like intergalactic was last year at the show

Metal Eden!!!!! This game got slept on big time. Doom-like but with cyberpunk theme/setting. Its really good. Visuals are abso fantastic Finished Outerworlds 2 last night.

@Vermines "make him stay Murph!!!"

@DrVenture69 is he a baker or a baby maker?

@EfYI @Vermines Having McConaughey star is this game is not possible.....No, its necessary!!!

@ApostateMage yes totally 100%. I think they thought it was a good choice at the time because of the issues RED engine was having with cyberpunk. But after they ironed it all out, the game turned out fantastic. It should have never been made for ps4/xboone and delayed by 6months+ and it would have prob turned out fine at the gate.

Now seeing UE5 is the crap show of engines this whole gen, I wonder if CDPR has regrets at all, or are they just planning to optimize the crap out of witcher 4 and delay it 10 times if they got to lol

Lies of P and Lords of the fallen (the latest one) are the two best no fromsoft soulslike for IMO. Closest to the real thing. But there's just something about when From does them, nobody can seem to touch. They got the special sauce over there.

@ApostateMage One of my faves of all time, we are in the same boat basically. Are you like me hoping that they don't use UE5 for the sequel? I think the RED engine gave that game all its charm and its unique look. I really can't imagine a sequel being in any other engine. We don't get a lot of cyberpunk themed RPG's like this in gaming, so I want them to preserve as much appeal from the 1st game as possible.

@Elektrogeist1287 lol what kind of comment was that anyways? Where does he get his calculations, or even come up with something like that? "but how many people out of the 35 million got bored and won't bother with the sequel"? hahah whatever

When the AAA 1st party IP's take 5+ years to make regardless of whether they are sequels or not, sure as hell doesn't give the machine a sequel problem. If they were pumping out games like the old days on ps1, then maybe. The fact is, it just takes way too much time and the dev's have to commit the half decade plus to their best chances of succeeding. They play it safe because this industry is hard to take risks.

Wow, what? This is music to my ears. I figured CDPR had all hands on deck for witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2 would be like 10yrs out. Over 100 peeps currently starting to piece it together is great. Still many years away, but a much better status then what I assumed.

@Junghova Ohhhhh nooooo. Don't say thaaatttt.

@Dogbreath I agree with you 100%. but what I can't seem to wrap my head around is, MS is a greedy anti consumer corporation, esp with Xbox. If they want to get out of this business, I don't see them hesitating in just ripping the bandaid off and saying "see ya!!!!, its been real, but we're out". They don't give a rats behind what their dedicated players that love their ecosystem think. If a corp. like that wants out, they get out.

As a matter of fact, they've been making themselves look like bigger fools the way they've been handling business, by changing their tune and prices on things every other week it seems this past year esp
