Square Enix needs to stop expecting every game they release to sell 10 million copies in its first day. They make some nice varied games overall but they keep killing them with their expectations.

Looks like I’m booting up KZ2 later today!!…..now to track down that disc…

Former chief legal guy heading this? That doesn’t sound right haha

I was a massive ES fan starting with Oblivion, but Bethesda is just getting annoying with rereleases at this point.

It really was a beautiful hard hitting emotional fight. It made the whole game for me.

Dang 10 years. I remember skipping school to play this on release.

Multiplayer is still one of the best out there it’s a shame it’s been shut down. U4 really dropped the ball on MP compared to this one.

I haven’t played these yet, but they’re on my list to get - I loved Until Dawn.

I wish Sony would have kept them on board. Would have been cool to get a constant stream of these type of games every 6 months or so as part of PS+

If the State of Plays were more frequent and we had game reveals and such more often this wouldn’t have felt so bad.

Sony’s building this reputation for silence and every 6 months dropping something…..well that something better be big and not crap like this.

It’s a smart business move. Get people hyped again after it’s been out a few years. I expect this to be a standard practice from now on after an exclusive has been out for 3 years

I’d love to see some of Sonys abandoned franchises getting love on Mobile with smaller budgets etc.

As much as people hate mobile gaming. It has its place and can help bring new fans to the fold.

@Mikey856 KZ2 had one of the best multiplayers imo. And for the time I remember being blown away by the graphics.

2009 was the best for me

Uncharted 2
MW2
RE5
AC2
Killzone 2
Infamous
Borderlands

I hope it’s wildly successful and convinces Sony to do All Stars 2

I’ve always wanted to try this so I’ll eventually grab it - but I don’t expect it to hold up well since it is from 2010. A lot of games from them have had mechanics used to death by this point so I’m sure I’ll eye roll a lot haha.

@__marc And i know for a fact on my OG PS4 my speeds were often capped at 3-4 MBPS while my phone would read speed test of 100. Now the PS5 does download significantly faster but that doesn’t mean Sony’s idea of timers starting at download is a good idea. Games are only getting larger.

I’m glad you have god tier internet but your experiences arent universal. This discussion is based on a bad policy not how internet bottlenecks are different for different conditions.

@Flaming_Kaiser we have a data cap and most speeds are slower then advertised - well - they fluctuate.

@GreatAuk I’ve had games/large updates (100GB) on my PS4 take over a day. That’s with 100 MBPS internet speeds, but the system downloads much slower. Now the PS5 can handle faster download speeds vs the ps4 but it’s still not at what I’m getting from my internet provider.

Before you go on an entitled rant maybe you should take a few more things into consideration. How about a multi family household where there are multiple downloads or streaming at the same time? How about Comcast deciding to have an outage while you’re download.

To be fair, the PS5 does download a lot faster then PS4 and the games may have ‘download 10% for quick start’ but still - most of the US does not have fast internet and I’m sure many other countries are the same.

5 hours from starting the download!?!? It’s gonna take me 6 hours to download it! Come on Sony!

Lolol this guy does it to himself. This is exactly why Sony won’t work with him. Game business of today and budgets of today can’t afford people like this as a liability for bad PR.

Didn’t he work on the last Twisted Metal game that no one bought anyways? Maybe it’s time for someone else to steer the ship. I have no idea what this guy has done since PS2 days.

@JustPlainLoco haha I agree - but they’d be perfect to do it after getting experience with Demons Souls.

It’s probably Bloodboure 2

He was such a great actor on Stargate. I’m really glad they’re continuing to use him, he really made Kratos’ performance come to life and fit so well.

All stars plays well it’s just….boring and aimed at an audience that is not me haha. Hopefully they can nail the classic Twisted Metal Black feel

I haven’t found a physical copy cheap yet. GameStop ran a few sales but was always sold out. Been wanting to try it but if it’s Souls like, knowing me I won’t get far, and can’t justify it without a sale.

What the heck. Their update was ‘we’re hiring for multiplayer positions! Hint hint!’ Like…..yeah….everyone’s known that for a year. Good hint.

Dang they’re rebooting TR again. Still have to play the third one but man, crystal dynamics sure likes to reboot after every trilogy. I loved Underworld and the Lara of those games. Kinda hope we go back to that feel

Smart move from the boss. Positive PR, and boosting morale.

I remember the reveal and really wanted to play it but somehow missed the launch it went offline before I ever had a chance to try.

Hasn’t there been enough copies of GTAV sold for everyone on the planet at this point. Maybe it’s a money laundering scheme keeping it so high every week lol.

The story was pretty complete, a sequel would be strange.

I’d prefer a totally new off the wall game from him versus a sequel.

So many people forget that ND has been shipping multiplayer tie-ins since 2009. TLOU2 was the first game that didn’t have it bundled in. They are experienced with making multiplayer games, that translate very well from the Single player experience. U3 was very well received in terms of its multiplayer. It’s a shame they abandoned U4 after how much support they gave 3 and Factions.

I beat this game a few weeks ago. Honestly I think I understood the story better before I played the game.

You’d think the company standing to gain the most from locking you into the PS5 ecosystem would be the ones giving the upgrades out for free. Sony’s been doing some strange stuff. I miss the fun times of 2009-early PS4

Rick Astley!?!? Hahaha

I like the sound of this. Gonna keep my eyes on it - sounds like a fun afternoon diversion on a flash sale for me personally

Jedi Fallen Order didn’t have micro transactions right? It seems like they’re on the right track with their single player games recently.

Generic, sure, but it looks like a solid co-op shooter based in Alien universe which sounds like exactly what will be fun for a lot of fans! I’m really looking forward to it!

Yeah this is gonna get shelved. Capcom can’t seem to figure out RE multiplayer outside of Co-op.

Can’t believe there’s a big enough audience for all of these!

@talocaca What changed? On the PS3 version I think I only beat the first area….haha

@Trisque thanks! I guess I’ll give it another go! I’m in between some games now anyways so it’ll be a good filler for me! Haha

@Trisque oh boy….does it get more enjoyable the further you get? Once I got a few vehicles I was enjoying it was more haha.

Potential spoilers below.

I got as far as the part where I had some ‘strange person that looks VERY familiar’ handed me to deliver a…..let’s call it a ‘boombox’.

Can anyone tell me how far I am into the game? I’ve been meaning to get back into it….but it wasn’t that fun besides the cool looking bosses and cutscenes haha.

Buy them and make PlayStation All Stars 2.

@Korgon agreed!! It’s such a weird disc placement and facing!

@ReddJelly Is there still new stuff to do? I played at launch, had almost all the exotics and was like…..okay….now idk what to do haha

Why get invested in a series that won’t have its sequel on your system? Was gonna be a buy from me, but instantly turned into a ‘nope’ after the buyout.

Dang I can’t believe they’re still putting out DLC for this. I would have thought many people would have moved on.

I LOVE Greedfall so I will be getting this.

But I’m super nervous if they ditch the dialogue based RPG game in favor of a combat oriented RPG like Bloodborne. Can’t have Greedfall like jankiness in a game like that.
