Trailer looks great, this season should be a good one!

If this were the kind of thing where they're updating the graphics and textures to bring them to the RDR2 standard, or something closer to it, then that'd be cool. If they're not doing that, then we really don't need this game to be released again. The PS4 version does the thing just fine for what it is. Considering the PS4 release had a 60fps boost on PS4 Pro/PS5, what could they really be offering to make people want an upgrade anyway?

What happened to just having people make games for the sake of making games? If Square keeps moving in that direction, we're going to have a lot of broken releases in the coming years.

I love the PS portal, but any game requiring high levels of accuracy is a bit difficult to enjoy on it due to inherent latency from streaming. Something like Silksong is rough to borderline unplayable if you're doing a difficult boss fight or some tough platforming.

After playing Foxhunt with a friend, I can confirm it runs well and is good fun, but it definitely needs some more content if Konami wants it to stick around. As of right now, it's good for an hour or 2 every so often with a buddy, but it's not something I can see myself diving into alone very often, if at all. A full-on 6v6 PVP mode would be a nice add, feels a bit strange that something like that didn't come at launch.

Don't care what the people are saying, it's BOX TIME!

@Krlozgod Dragon Ball Super. 2uper. Just throwing it in the mix because we need something to move the story forward, so these new games can actually get new content. The article mentions games, but the event itself is all-encompassing

I can't believe DBS2, Sparking Zero 2, FighterZ 2, and Xenoverse 3 are all going to be announced. Can't wait.

@RawnDawn & @PuppetMaster PS Gear has both an Astro Bot plush and a Kratos Astro Bot plush. They're usually $36 and $39, but they're $25 and $29 right now because the website is shutting down in December. Not sure where you guys live, but they seem to only be on the USA store.

Pour one out in loving memory of Sackboy

Ahh, we're never getting a real Dissidia game ever again.

@Dragoon1994 When I saw "Dissidia mobile game," I thought the same thing. That game was so fun, it shouldn't have been shut down when there was still so much content they could've done.

@koverby I haven't played these yet, you're good lmao

With things like this happening so early on, I wonder if Skate. will make it more than a year or two before they shut it down. We just wanted to play a new Skate game, not be nickel-and-dimed for crossover skins, especially when they own the IP.

Scooped up that GOW Ragnarok sherpa fleece jacket. When the snow comes, I'll be all set to stand outside and pretend I'm Kratos lol

@DennisReynolds Just wait for the Assassin's Creed ISU internet spin-off. Ubi has to be cooking that one up

@koverby Life goes on, man.

Silksong and Sonic Crossworlds have both been a vibe and a half

@koverby This "very public forum" is the comment section of an article concerning free DLC for a game over 2 years old, which was made as a DLC, and turned into a standalone prequel to a game that is almost 5 years old. I'm all for not posting spoilers right where everyone will see them, but people don't have to read comments if they don't want to, especially when it concerns something they don't want to know more about. I would expect that most people who have any level of interest in this DLC would have either played or beaten one or both of the games that were being discussed.

@DennisReynolds Had to rewatch the ending of Mirage, you are correct. I thought the ending was a bit more ambiguous as to what's going on, with Basim being more tricked/convinced into the merger, but it's very much not that. It was confirmed this DLC takes place before the end of the game now anyway, so anything I wanted to see is in the can regardless. Would love to see Basim come back in a future game though, maybe something detailing his adventures between Mirage and Valhalla.

@DennisReynolds Basim and Loki share a body, but are inherently different people up until the point Loki's memories and life start bleeding into Basim's at the end of Mirage, which we see firsthand with Eivor in Valhalla, but with a different outcome. All throughout Valhalla, Eivor is faced with choices, and Odin appears seemingly in Eivor's mind to offer guidance on what they should do. This culminates in Odin trying to take over Eivor's mind and body fully in that underground vault at the end of the game, but fails because Eivor's will is too strong (or whatever happened in that last confrontation). This was furthered by the final update they released for Valhalla, where Eivor is still in control of their own body, but Odin begins to permeate in Eivor's mind and teaches Eivor things about what occurred during his time, without Odin fully taking control. When I said "dealing with his other self," I literally meant the Basim side of the character internally at odds with what the Loki side of him would want to do, but coming to accept that that is now inherently who he is. By Valhalla, it seems Loki and Basim are the same person, but if the confrontation with Odin proved anything, it's that one of the personalities can be in control and force the other to be dormant while retaining their life experiences and memories to some degree. I want to know if Basim is a prisoner in his own body, or if he's on board with Loki's ambitions.

Here's hoping we get to see Basim actually dealing with his other self this time around. The OG story ended just as it was getting good!

Forbidden West and DS2 are hands down the best-looking games on PS5. I'm constantly blown away by the visuals when playing those games, especially when you're high up in them, looking down at the worlds they've built. They're even more stunning on a PS5 Pro.

They should've done a controller in the style of the art they put on the pottery in Greece. Could've literally taken the design on the vase that Kratos smashed from GoW 2018, and it would've fit perfectly for the 20th anniversary theme

They should add the stuff that's in the game already that we don't have access to. The TOP arena with no debris, SSJ Vegeta with Saiyan Saga Vegeta skin, Gohan Black variant for Goku Black and Merged Zamasu. Kami's lookout and Capsule Corp could be made into maps using the areas they already modeled for the menus too. There's so much in the game already that could be repurposed.

I hope the ghost is agreeable to mocap

Need Shadow's motorcycle to be in the game

When they announced they'd be making another Skate, I never would have imagined we'd be getting it in the form of an early access game that we have to watch come together over however long it'll take until they remove the early access label. Makes you miss the days when devs just made games that were feature-complete with basic QOL updates instead of whatever it is we're doing now. It's cool that it's finally in the hands of the playerbase, but it's not cool that we waited so long for what's essentially a live service beta. At least it's free!

The map clearing with all viewpoints is single-handedly going to be what brings me back. I got so burnt out running to every corner of the map trying to fill it out and remove the fog of war, especially when there is so much of the map that's just forests and mountains with nothing going on.

I was really hoping for either a continuation or just a separate mini story. Not a big fan of these DLCs that just happen during the events of the narrative, as it makes it feel like they were cut intentionally just so they could sell it later. This is especially so when areas in the Vatican City felt weirdly cut off, and now they're seemingly being reopened here, like the Vatican Gardens.

This is genuinely the best playing Metal Gear game in the franchise; it's just a shame so much of the story about what Big Boss and Zero were getting up to in that time was relegated to tape recordings you have to listen to in the post-game, instead of fully formed cutscenes that fit nicely into the narrative at specific points. Full spoilers here, but I actually like that Venom Snake was not Big Boss. It makes it feel like by the time the reveal hits, we're playing our own character who became Big Boss just because we love the franchise so much. A lot of people felt burned that they weren't playing as the guy by the end, but that's the point, you are Big Boss by the end, or something so close to it that most people can't even tell the difference. You, the player, make that happen, and it's a cool concept for subverting what you think you're looking at the whole time, versus what's really going on. It's honestly very on brand for the MGS series. I'd say the real biggest stain on this game is the last chapter of the game being unfinished, then offered up as piecemealed cutscenes in the deluxe/collectors editions. It always bothers me that Sahelanthropus is taken by Liquid and Mantis from Motherbase, and then there's just nothing after that. It will always suck that the last Hideo Kojima MGS game had to be released unfinished.

My favorite thing to do in this game so far has been to throw the board away, curl into a ball, and roll around. It's even better when you jump out of the roll and launch yourself back into another one, like the best hidden traversal mechanic I didn't know I wanted. You can basically be a Droideka in this game.

MGS4 mentioned by Konami in 2025

It feels like we're going to be playing MGS3/MGO back in the PS2 days, when it was the only place to be. It sucks that crossplay will be missing, but all my close friends I'd be playing this with have PS5s, so we're locked in together either way.

On the one hand, I feel weird about buying Delta because of what Konami did to Kojima and the fact that now he isn't a part of it, but on the other hand, I just got the Death Stranding 2 platinum, so I'm still doing my part to support the man.

This might be one that just shouldn't be adapted to TV. The story of the Greek saga is pivotol to Kratos's development in the Norse saga, and knowing what he did beat for beat really emphasized the smaller moments of growth. After TLoU S2, I'm not particularly excited for another half baked yet also drawn out adaptation of a story we already know.

I wonder if duos will have slightly better performance over trios with one less person to factor. I haven't tried solos yet, but Noklateo City is attrocious sometimes to get through with 3 people.

Back at it again with Norman Reedus and the baby fetus

The scene of Ellie on the island adds nothing to the story as a whole. I watch the show with my family, and my mom was intrigued because she doesn't know what's happening on that island is not important to Ellie's side of the story. She's expecting her to go back there next season.

@ChrisDeku That happens to Abby in the woods at the end of day 1 when she meets Yara and Lev. Abby has the scars on her neck in the show, too, which means we'll likely see that scene next season.

Oblivion is still cooked. I love it. 50+ hrs on PS5 Pro and counting.

The yearly playthrough of RDR2 about to make a come back

Where is RDR3?

Beat it in about 25 mins solo after not playing since Zoh Shia. Feels like we're heading in the right direction for difficulty IMO. Excited for AT Gore Magala and AT Arkveld whenever they finally decide to roll them out!

They're cool additions, and the characters most people want will def come with DLC 3, but my biggest issue is the lack of dubbing with this DLC. I watched Daima in sub all the way thru, but I just prefer the English dub in general for DB. The English dub has reached the point in the show where all the DLC characters' English voices would have already been heard, so the lack of simuldubbing in the games is pretty lame.

And just to pile on because we DB fans are never satisfied, more stages and customization would be nice!

Man, we're really about to cliffhang in the movie theater with S3 opening on Abby Day One. That's tough

Looks like all good updates. All I need now is an option to quick-switch between the characters without opening the inventory/mastery menus, and I'm golden.

Please... Please... Please...

I can't help but feel like they should've just made this about Nero if they were going to cast JYB. Should've gotten a different VA that could emulate a young Ruben, or just Ruben himself trying to do a younger-sounding voice.

For anyone who doesn't have an Xbox/PC and missed this one, it's well worth the playthrough. I played it on Series S using Game Pass, and while it looked muddy on the Series S, it was an enjoyable gameplay experience. I'm going to be purchasing this one for sure on the PS5 Pro to play it in higher fidelity. Yes, I'm purchasing this game even though I have it on Game Pass. If you like Indiana Jones, it's that good and worth the money, plus I want a physical case to put next to the movies!
