3 hours of my life gone to trailers for kinda mediocre games.

Then quickly shoved in awards for 10 min...

I def overhyped myself for it this year tho. I thought with the lack of conferences this past summer there would be some cool announcements, especially with PS5 now out.

This is the game that makes me want a PS5 in March versus next winter - but even I’m unsure if I’d pay that upon release.

Fantastic article and I hope well written articles like this can help some change happen with regards to how Sony prices games - having a spectrum of prices would be nice, and unproven new IP without a huge amount of hype shouldn’t be priced to fail at 70$

It’s crazy to look back and see how well Sony did year after year this generation.

Okay. That list of guests is so random but makes me have to watch.

Gotta wonder if Eddie Vedder is presenting a Last of Us award - hope he plays Future Days

I would happily buy the Series S or X or whatever if I could turn it into a PS2/3 emulator.

I just bought a B/C PS3 on eBay since mine took a dump but who knows how long it’ll last!

YES!!! Picked this up over a summer sale and it’s been one of my favorites! Highly recommend!

It stinks this happened to you, but for others that had the same thing occur, it’s good to have someone with a bit of PR weight to their name in the same boat.

If I had this and called Amazon US they’d be like ‘sorry, can’t help, anything else I can do for you today?’

Greedfall is back to 15$ - I bought it last time it was on sale and it’s become one of my favorite games of the generation!

If you like choice/story RPGs I highly recommend! Graphically it could use polish but if that stuff doesn’t bother you, you’ll love it!

Jim Ryan got the job because the last dude move into heading up PS Now - to me, that screams they have BIG plans for that to be the future of PlayStation, or else why would you demote yourself.

I wonder if the character model will be based on the new bond, one of the classics or a totally new model.

@get2sammyb I think it’ll depend if it’s a spoiler heavy title (GOW2) versus a lighter game (Sackboy).

I know I’d grumble, but pay that for something like GOW2 but will certainly wait on other titles until they’re on sale!

Cant wait to play this!! Looks like it brings back the magic of 1 and 2!

Time to change the PushSquare heart button icon!

Even if you hate the story. TLOU2 had the some of the most polished and amazing gameplay ever.

Hope it does well, but I’m in the camp that loved how much the story messed with my emotions.

@Jarobusa the Series X is, but the Series S isn’t, and that’s getting the patch, right? (At a stated future patch)

It would be cool for another ‘anniversary’ console like they did for the PS4. And bring back some iconic color schemes

I remember when I had to wait a month to play any new maps for multiplayer or zombies back on the PS3. It wasn’t fun, but this is just dumb. Like, who cares about stupid freaking weapon slots, Sony needs to put this money elsewhere.

I haven’t tried out the web store, but I REALLY like the store through the App. Way easier to use and find what I wanted (at least for the ways I use it)

I can’t wait to hear way more about this game. I hope it’s a standard Sony spring launch.

I love that Sony is branching out with Sackboy. Hope we can get new and fresh takes every few years like Mario games.

I hope they can expand to work on more then one game at a time. Really want an inFAMOUS follow up, or remaster of the first two

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.
