@bluemage1989 agreed. we don't have to like them to want to play GTA6. We dont know R* personally, so who cares. Actors, musicians and celebrities in general are mostly unpleasant d***** bags. But we still watch their movies and listen to the tunes

They had the nerve to charge $20 for a DLC that is only 4hrs of content. How much is this skin $5??? Phantom Liberty was only $10 more and was almost enough to fill a whole game, on top of CP2077 being superior in every facet of a video game

@LifeGirl its either that, or alittle bit before the start of a new console gen, for decades now, they show off the new unreal engine version, or some other next gen engine with the captions "actually running on ps3, or ps4, or ps5" and then 5years into next gen the games dont even look close to that fidelity.

Too many people on the internet, with too much time on their hands. Any surprises left for the show? oh wait, they got 2 more days to spoil whatever is left. Internet sleuths need to get a life

How are people not gonna be puking all over the place with this kind of thing in VR? hahaaha "mom look, i can fly!!!!" (retches) barrrffffff!

@Oram77 Yeah its ashame. Unless we can Marty Mcfly back to a time where game journalism wasn't a huge thing and we got surpised on the E3 show floor, or we just go dark with no internet 2 months before the GA's, almost everything will be spoiled for us. This whole thing sucks tbh

Its about time, this game has been cooking for years now. Might even be a 2026 release.

This genre is Niche as it gets. Is it really a big deal ps5 could have had a flight sim earlier?

The statue is going to be an Elder Scrolls lawn prop you can buy to decorate your front yard on Halloween.

The Xbox brand is jinxed. Doesn't matter who the dev is, the legacy you have built. It will take you in and chew you out.

Maybe encourage dev's to try to make an UE5 game that doesn't run like a horses a**

That statue thing might be a new trailer for Crimson Desert. Like we need another trailer for that game, cause the 200 they've made so far during development and between all the delays hasn't been enough.

@LikelySatan Sweet bro. Yeah, as I said, retro/pixel art are usually instant write offs for me. Esp here in almost-2026 when we have games on Decima engine. But the draw with HM was the addictive gameplay. Nothing is cooler then taking out 4 at a time, with a well placed and coordinated window shot

Xbox with only 5% more then no, not the newer swtich 2, but old switch console which is a full gen old at this point. Lmao

Hotline Miami 2!!!! Where have you been all my life??? lol

I know I'll sound like i've been living in a cave here. But I always knew these games existed. I just always write off games with retro/pixel art graphics. They are not my cup of tea. But saw both Hotline games on the BF sale sitting there for $2 a piece. So figured I'd be losing nothing just trying. And I'll tell you both of them are fantastic. Addicting, the music, the gameplay. Solid gold

@JayJ Yes agreed 100%. But its the big budget and long times that give us AAA sony masterpieces. There's so many people laid off in this industry, good people. What I think the fix is, don't stray from what they're doing. Like I said, we get masterpieces. They need to have two teams, so at the least, 2 games are in full production at the same time. Give these laid off people jobs for pete's sake.

There's no reason why ND can't have Intergalactic going in full production and then have a 2nd team either working on TLOU3, starting to piece that together, or whatever they chose to come after Inter. So when the main hands on deck have Inter. content complete, but in the bug fixing/polishing faze, they can bounce over to the next project. That could easily cut 2 years off development time. If we got most AAA every 3years, instead of 5 I would be content with that.

@Pat_trick if all this hoopla turned out to be an ESO expansion, I'll puke in my mouth during the show. If its any kind of DLC or expansion I'll prob still barf

I can't wait for this game, but we've seen enough of this. New IP or reveals of games we know exist but haven't seen yet please.

Is this the game where the guy showed it off at the game awards, was on stage getting all arrogant and cocky about his game here? lol funny how things turn out for people who count the chickens before they are hatched

All hands on deck getting GTA6 out please!!!! lol

I'm not saying that this topic needs to be swept under the carpet and I acknowledge that AI in game development is a huge deal. But now that we are letting the AI topic leak into every article, everywhere, not just here, then IMO we are letting AI win even further.

"dark souls of climbing games" lmao. I love fromsoft and every souls offering they put out. But every game being "soulslike" in some form is getting out of hand.

If Madden adds an ability to the running back, where you can juke roll to the left and stiff arm tacklers with a stamina gauge, then it will be labeled "football souls". EA NHL, they add a stamina gauge to the players poke check so you can't spam it during a game.....Its a "hockey souls" now.

Im glad they are iterating and fixing the issue, rather than doing a redesign all together to be more like the xbox pad with removable AA's. Not only is that pad a** backwards in design and just plan crap, it weighs a ton. Has a long life battery life, but when it feels like a brick in your hands then no thanks.

@x3King84 I agree. I never got into the getaway back when it came out. but i do know alot of people really loved that game. Since a new GTA is a once in a decade event, there's plenty of room for another game of that nature. Esp since Mafia seemed to crap the sheets and decide to go linear once they got some beefy hardware to properly develop a great looking but more importantly running game. And Saints row has been dead, so.

@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?
