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.

The remasters have been doing a fantastic job at bringing in new players.

Also the move from numbers in the titles likely helps, doesn't make people feel that they need to play the 8 precious games to jump into Requiem.

I'm sure it'll always skew older, but I think they're doing a much better job than other legacy franchises.

I can't believe it's been 13 years since Second Son.

Would love to see this as a PS Essential offering next month. Give a boost to the game and DLC.

I still buy physical.

My argument of 'not having to download a game when I want to play it' is pretty much dead since most games need a patch or update when I put in an old disc anyway.

This is pretty typical of most extraction shooters, right?

Sounds bad to those of us not interested in this type of game. But I've heard positive reactions from friends that like extraction shooters.

Id be fine with leaving Nathan Drake in retirement and focusing on the broader world or new characters.

REALLY wish Sony would have scooped up the Tomb Raider IP and went that direction with treasure hunting games.

Barlog has been working on this directly after 2018 launched, right?

Seems like we're getting something significantly different, similar to the jump from Ascension to 2018, which would be great. The formula wasn't getting stale to me yet, and I wish Ragnarok was 2 games, but I'm happy to see some forward movement from the studio.

Kinda surprised to see the studio still working on the same franchise for 20 years though, while every other Sony studio changes over time. RIP Uncharted.

The poll will be skewed due to the nature of this site, but I think we all see this as a problem.

The next generation of kids has it rough. Predatory practices coming at them from every angle for their time and money.

It's the constant load screens between indoor and outdoor that kills me.

Let me be a stealthy character and lockpick a door or window and sneak into the house, seeing what the character inside is doing.

I generally hold out for physical game releases (Waited for BG3 to go physical) but I see the writing on the wall and I'm growing OK with it.

Honestly PS+ has conditioned me for this future as 95% of games I've played this generation, I've gotten for free from the service.

This is the type of AA game I like to see!

I'd love for these shadow drops to ACTUALLY shadow drop and people involved to stop teasing things or leaking things.

That being said. It is impressive, that if true, a GOW game has managed to stay relatively firmly in 'rumor' territory.

This looks neat!

Guess I'm old enough for PS2 era graphics to be 'retro' and cool for a new game release.

Watch it sell less due to less PS marketing push.

Honesty I hope Sony stops spending money on FF. I don't see it as a big system sellers as it was in the past. Doesn't really do a great job of bringing in new fans either.

No way it's PS6. Sony needs the massive install base to move units. It'll be the swan song for PS5 like TLOU and TLOU2 was.

It's insane ND spent the entire console life working on this.

It is a bit barebones on content. I get leaving things for content drops, but if there are modes with more players on a map.....I think they'd better drop that ASAP

Played one match so far. It was well made and I enjoyed it.

However its clearly meant for the sweaty crowd, of which I am not. So my time will be limited.

I was disappointed at the lack of AI enemies. I also think being more 3v3v3v3 or more players would have been better.

Not sure why everyone is slamming it tho. Classic internet beating up on the thing popular to beat up on. It's not bad by any means.

Isn't their profit margin larger for Digital?

Doubt they care about spoilers. But with a game selling this many copies at launch, getting a bigger cut going digital makes a lot of sense, even if it's only a month delay to physical.

Absolutely loved the first game, and was super excited for this, but the EA really quashed my hopes.

It's a shame they didn't refine the gameplay of the original.

It's impressive seeing older games on the list, as 10+ years ago a lot less places awarded GOTY anyways.

So in some sense it's a silly list as the quantity of available awards goes up each year. Maybe we can adjust awards for inflation lol.

Sounds like a watering down of the Sony brand, as it'll get slapped onto $100 TVs at Walmart.
