I was a GameCube kid but I really did envy my PS2 friends! Haha Dark Alliance 2 never coming to GameCube caused me to buy a PS2 on eBay a few years ago haha. Now I get to enjoy all those classics!

I’m pretty excited. Hopefully I can redeem it without owning a PS5. Really wanna play bugsnax when I eventually get one (but not something I’d buy haha)

@Bobobiwan I’m pretty excited for the movie too. Out of anyone they could have gotten to play Drake I’m glad it’s Holland.

I still don’t understand why Marky Mark is in this thing, but at least he can be his grumpy self as Sully and not ruin Drake haha.

I still love the Nathan Fillion one.

Looks like I’m not alone but I’m also disappointed they might not be making another Infamous yet.

I haven’t played GOT yet, and heard good things about it! But Infamous is just too much fun to let go of.

I haven’t seen an Apple Ad go by so fast like that before (then again I only see ads on Hulu), but the ‘controller sold separately’ pretty much nails it.

Bring back KZ2’s multiplayer. Plus the jet packs of 3 cause those were fun.

Hope it actually gets implemented in many games! It’s a cool idea, but don’t see devs putting resources into it.

This actually convinced me to buy this game. I’m shocked.

I don’t understand how it takes that many studios to make GTA online content plus work on (presumably) one game at a time. Unless the studios are insanely tiny.

@Nepp67 it is when you’re trying to get your wife to play it but she needs to pour like 10 hours into it before we can play together.

It’s cool, but not a fan of locking co op behind a grinding play wall.

I don’t understand why Sony put resources into this in the first place, then never promote or push it.

I remember reading an article years ago where this guys apparently has a day job and family too....how???? Haha

Man they really made the platinum trophy look dumb

Wow - last time I’ve played a sports game was when crowds were pixelated cardboard cutouts that all moved the same way hahaha. We’ve come a long way since the GameCube days.

Have they talked about how many of the buildings are explotable?
Besides TES series, I’m always annoyed that I can’t enter most buildings (GTA, Ubisoft games etc)

@StonyKL I’m going for the platinum too, and I agree. Some of the cutscenes i skip - mainly cause it’s too emotionally draining!! Hahaha

Tom Holland is really likable and should hopefully portray a good drake! Not too convinced that Wahlburg was the right move, but time will tell.

Sounds like something that could be an enjoyable PS+ freebie at some point down the road.

@Salohcin I never could either - but I managed to beat Bloodborne a few years ago. The best part of that game is the summoning bell. I loved the lore and gameplay, but personally never enjoyed getting wrecked by bosses, so I’d go on Reddit and get someone to help with use of the summoning bell.

I’ve had people call me out that it’s ‘cheating’ but whatever, I had a ton of fun doing all the rest of the areas by myself. The generic enemies aren’t TOO hard after you get the hang of it. Plus I went back and helped other people with bosses once i beat the game and was leveled up!

I love the community reference!!

@Rob_230 That would be so disappointing - I’m glad people love Animal Crossing, and i hope it gets some love, but as far as moving the entire gaming industry forward, idk haha. TLOU2 is really the big standout game for me in terms of level design, enemy AI etc.

I’m gonna be really annoyed if any game beats out TLOU2 for GOTY. Unless cyberpunk really is amazing (I have my doubts), TLOU2 should clean the floor with awards. Some of the best gameplay, visuals, audio and story I’ve ever experienced.

@TrolleyProblems i think what we are getting at, is as we continue to move down this path we risk not being able to purchase these games and own them outright. We are locked into a subscription, and if they remove a game forever, it’s gone forever.

When I walk into my local Walmart, i don’t see Netflix shows as a DVD set that i can buy, and watch 20 years from now. (Yes many i can buy online, but how long until that changes?) 10 years ago, any show from a big provider was in my Walmart for me to buy. That’s a big change in a short period of time.

If my PS4 didn’t already have PT downloaded on it, I’d never be able to play it again. I prefer owning a disc of all my games so no corporate crap locks me out of playing them, no matter what the future holds.

It would be nice if Sony built out a few more studios and diversified its portfolio a bit. The 3rd person action adventure game is fun, but is getting a bit old.

@Shepherd_Tallon I’m worried about the exact same thing. As much as a i hate the 80$ price tag, I’d much rather own my game and play it for years versus locked into a sub which has my game and save data.

I still pull out my PS3 to play Oblivion once in awhile. Glad i don’t have to pay a 15$ sub the day i decide to bust it out to play for an hour.

This sucks. Guess I’m getting an Xbox at some point.

I’ve always felt the Treyarch games has lackluster looking/feeling/sounding guns compared to IW’s games (back in the PS3 days at least).

Also thanks for bringing back some amazing Killzone 2 multiplayer memories. Heavy movement and enormous battlefields worked so well in that game.

From the little bit we’ve seen, this screams F2P, not 70$....hope it ends up doing well though!

I kinda wish it was a revamped Twisted Metal instead.

So many games drop to 20$ 6 months after release, especially Sony’s spring releases and Black Friday sales.

Besides games like TLOU2, I’ll be waiting for sales from now on.

@Octane I was wondering the same thing. When it cuts to 3rd person shots of characters firing guns it looks the same as COD on a PS3.

I just wanted a Rayman 4

I hope they beef up PS Now to at least give more BC options (PS1/2)

Based on Jim Ryan and his previous comments, doubt he’d approve budget on it tho.

Yeah but not clarifying that HZD 2 is cross gen until now was EXTREMELY misleading and intentionally so.

Obviously they’d continue to support PS4 but i wish there were some more major true exclusives in that first year.

Financially they’re right. Why lose all that profit when their sales break records.

For gamers though - I hope they revamp PS Now so it becomes more like the PS+ Instant game collection, with exclusives that have had price drops to 20$ and a curated selection of other, older games.

This was an utter failure. The event was amazing, and Sony screwed up big time with so much post event. I can’t believe how badly pre orders went. Absolutely insane!

I have been a long time Sony fanboy, but there’s no defending this. I’m extremely disappointed - I guess on the bright side, Sony just saved me 500$ this year.

This is insane. ‘Pre order your pre order’ ‘we will give advanced notice’ ‘we believe in generations’

So much BS from them. This whole situation is a mess and terrible on their end. We still don’t even know the freaking UI, any type of update to PS Now, nothing.

If i manage a pre order, I’m selling this crap on EBay and getting my launch games 10$ cheaper on the PS4 until GOW2.

This is extremely frustrating. Until I know more, i won’t be getting a PS5 for a long time. Let them iron out bugs and such and give me a 2021 Black Friday deal with an extra game or something.

Good thing games tend to plummet in price after 6 months

If GOW is the same (and Demon Souls to a lesser extent) i just went from a day 1 to 2022 purchaser.

@Octane yeah, once i heard that m hype for PS5 instantly died. Like why bother getting it first year if exclusives are going to be cross gen?

Also of note : For 69.99$

Also potentially coming to PS4 down the road too, with that ending note of *coming to other consoles and PC

Looks like Sony games are priced at 70$.....super bummed

Also Geoff mentioned some retailers may open preorders today. Keep your eyes open !

Hoping for more info on the console and its features, but this was still really good!!

PS5, backwards comparability with N64 confirmed.

@TheFrenchiestFry The biggest issue with All Stars (I think) was the utter non existent marketing, awful balance (which should have been easily patched!), no post launch support, and the PS4s launch right around the corner. It was a fun couch co op fighter at the time!

If they relaunched it now, with updated roster and some marketing, i see no reason why it wouldn’t be a success. Especially if they went F2P with character battle passes.

@Juanalf that was my favorite part of All Stars! I can’t stand smash bros, i loved All Stars gameplay so much more! (Yes, i know I’m in an ultra minority on that opinion haha)

I feel like this kind of stuff would be better saved for part of a bigger show. Maybe i just need to get out of the E3 mindset and on board with the more frequent but smaller announcement type of thing.

Those spider cop comments at the beginning are some of my favorite parts. This would have been amazing.
