Super pumped for this. Been wanting to get The Beast so this will be a great lead in!

I'd give it a try on PS, but just can't stand mobile controls, and if I'm gonna use a controller might as well use my TV and PS5

Bethesda made Oblivion with 60 devs and Skyrim with 120. The fact that this has taken SO LONG and with a studio size (working on game development) of 550, shows how unwieldy game development has become over the last decade.

Quake?? And honestly surprised to see Wolfenstein mentioned.

Now THIS is a studio Sony should buy. Compete a bit with Bethesda, plus they make weird niche smaller things that Sony has been missing the last 10 years.

I never thought I'd consider PC gaming as a primary form, but I really don't see a reason to invest in PS over Steam if the next generation is digital only.

PC has better prices with more competition on storefronts.

No wonder Sony is leaning back into exclusives.

@Runex2121 I have like 60 hours in on the Base PS5. Had some issues at launch with frame rate, but really haven't noticed any major issues after the first few patches.

I generally don't mind performance hiccups though, so maybe I'm oblivious.

The bigger story here is the insane profit margin they're going to be getting.

Charing above standard pricing, but also not requiring manufacturing of a disc. Still get physical retailers taking a cut, but dang. Insane.

It'll be worth $80 no doubt, but I'm a bit disappointed no disc, even if digital is more convenient and discs are basically just a SSD download anymore anyway.

People love kojima, but idk, he said the same about Death Standing and playing fetch quest the game really didn't scream 'new experience' to me. It was fun, but didn't really love up to the hype, imo.

He's a good hypeman, though, that's for sure.

It blows my mind that Oblivion was made with like 60 developers and Skyrim 120. And they had 3 years dev times.

Now Bethesda has insane numbers and can't get projects off the ground. Studio bloat is insane for AAA titles in this era.

I remember this getting decent marketing/media coverage at the time. (Never heard of that Grasshopper game though) Alice was one that always interested me but I never played it.

I like seeing this pop up every few years with rumors of a 3rd game or movie or comic or something on Kickstarter by American McGee.

I'm sure this will go well. It's like Hasbro thinking they can make a BG4

This does look fantastic, and I'm extremely excited - finally a next Gen looking game. However, I did expect a bigger shift after 7 years in development or new IP. Crazy how long development times are these days.

This year has been packed with great games. I feel bad for a lot of these companies as way too many are getting released close together.

Or maybe that's just me being an old gamer now with not enough time to play/buy all this stuff coming out!

Why? It's already readily available...

Where's my Rayman 3 HD Remaster...remaster...

I've got stupid hours into D2 but yeah, post TFS it really needed to call it quits.

Boggles my mind that they weren't in minor pre production of D3 for the last 2 years.

I'm really questioning how much expertise of Live Service they really provided to Sony.

id love to know the brand research they've done.

Is it worth continuing with a D3 or has the public moved on and will a new IP be worth more based on the years of brand damage and waning interest in the IP.

@Areus Kratos killed his whole pantheon and they figured out how to keep it going.

Lost legacy showed spin offs would work well. Just use different characters and they could pump some out every few years.

Still rocking my U2 Elena avatar for....idk....15 years at this point?

ugh, how has Sony let this franchise sleep for so long.

I don't see anyone mentioning U2 bringing us the greatest video game character of all time.

Cameraman Jeff.

I can't stand influencer culture.

One of the things I love about PushSquare is the (generally) more thoughtful comment section. Although I suspect most of us are 30+.

Great read! I feel in love with Bethesda over the same games, but just can't get myself to buy this one.

This article really helps me feel content with that decision.

Oblivion Remastered scratches that itch enough for me these days with the limited time I have. Still blows me away with the freedom it offered on a PS3, coming off of GameCube/PS2 games.

This is one of the few games that I think would be worth a higher price tag, even for single player alone.

The sheer amount of content and production values the game provides is worth it.

Really enjoyed Greedfall, it was an extremely fun AA game.

Steelrising was a bit of a disappointment for me coming off of Greedfall.

And Greedfall 2's changes left me waiting to buy it.

Sad to see, they were so close to gold if they stuck with the Greedfall formula and refined it a bit.

Capcoms online/multiplayer output has been awful....but I really hope they do revisit coop/multiplayer mercinaries like 5 and 6 again.

Would be interesting to see the initial story, I'm sure gameplay/environments were mostly similar.

My biggest disappointment with 4 was the lack of a 'supernatural' enemy/element to the game. Those are some of the most fun parts of the genre.

I get the more realistic/grounded story they were telling, but c'mon, who WASNT expecting undead pirates?

Interesting that Sony threatened to pull funding to save brand damage, feels very different from what we see publicly from Sony today.

Their brand damage is done by this point.

I don't see the juggernauts like COD or Bethesda games staying Xbox exclusive. Maybe timed. They clearly makes way too much money on PS.

Honestly I hope they do go back to some exclusivity and make Sony step up their game.

Sony late to the latest game trend hype yet again.

Will it do enough to pull players from ARC or Marathon? At least the F2P will inject players at the start

This is weird. When I saw the article earlier, I thought we could upload photos of ourselves to have us put in our OWN version of the game.

Like, I can be digitally created from a photo and be the driver of my GT car or an NPC in the game, for my local copy.

Not an actual NPC in the game, this is weird sweepstakes crap that is kinda dumb.

@CutchuSlow Their website has instructions for dumping your games using a PS3 or a BluRay drive.

RPCS3 runs so well. It's amazing what they've been able to do the last few years.

Can't believe they put this series to rest.

We should have been getting smaller budget titles, focusing on characters in the larger universe like The Lost Legacy.

I still have hope of that old secret studio that was supposed to be making a new uncharted. But that was like what, 10 years ago at this point.

Great month, really excited for LotF.
Already own TR, but still a fantastic addition compared to other months.

HA! Also came here to comment about The Third Age. As a kid, that was a HARD game. I remember it being really fun though.

I'd love to have an option to not download high res textures and let PSSR fill in some stuff. Game file size is insane and I don't care about 4k lol.

It's amazing to me that this mobile push has been going on for like 10+ years in various iterations and hasn't produced anything.

Would do terrible in today's market, but I'd love to see them revisit AvP. Really enjoyed the PS3 game even with all its flaws.

@TechaNinja I enjoyed it at launch, but it didn't get anywhere near the support that 2 or 3 got post launch.

Felt like they slapped it on and moved onto the next game instead of building on what 3 had done.

Uncharted 2 and 3 had fantastic multiplayer.

3 also had a very strong playerbase and a number of micro transactions, but still did very well.

How they managed to completely screw up U4 and TLOU2 multiplayer amazes me.

Whatever this was, I feel pretty confident in saying it would have been worth more investment than they've put into Fairgame$$$.

Embarrassing.

Hasn't been the same since the PS3/4 era team left. Layden, House, Tretton, Yoshida not only did a great job privately (I assume) but also did great with their public positions. Current PS management is a joke.

Capcom understands this. That's why the last 3 Resident Evil games weren't overtly called 7 8 and 9.

Re10? You mean RE14 with how this series cycles characters and drags out stories haha.

I love RE, but c'mon. Give me a proper Chris or Jill game. It's been ages. (I don't count the little Chris snips in 7 and 8).

I'd love for some more Revelations games to hit the side characters some more.

'1000 Creation Credits'. So....mods aren't free on PS5??? What is this nonsense Bethesda.

I guess this is old news, but what a load of crap.

Looking forward to this. Hoping it's a reasonable price point. Only 9.99 on Steam so $20 or so on console seems fair.

I'm a massive scardy cat. But I forced myself to play Grace in first person to get that first playthru experience.

I liked that there really weren't any cheap jumpscares in 9. And the few that were there, were very anticipated for anyone who's been playing RE games over the years.

They did get me on the office scene with Victor....I anticipated it when first going in there, seeing those blinds....totally forgot to slow down and think entering that room for the 5th time lol.

Super pumped for this one!

I LOVED the first one, but was so disappointed that they changed up the combat system for 2.

Maybe it's better now but what I saw during EA really turned me off.

I'm convinced if this was made by anyone other than Bungie it would have gotten a lot more sustained hate.

@TheSwitchBit How did 7 and 8 lose you??

Sure, 8 is more action focused (but has some good horror bits) but 7 was praised for being survival horror.
