I really don't think PS4 games need to be remade, but them announcing a sequel would give make my day. My heart skipped a beat at the Duskbloods reveal, when I thought it would be something to do with Bloodborne. But yeah, closing your own dev studio, then stopping fans from making games is just asinine.
I didn't personally care for Bluepoint as I'm not interested in remakes, but this trend is terrible. Ever since they massively downsized Japan Studio, Sony seems hellbent on destroying their brand and first party output.
It's gonna need to keep it up. Sony have set their own standard high so they will likely be a lot of people watching the next one, lots of people to disappoint if the next SoP is boring.
On that topic, Devs need to stop implementing all of these collectible trophy's. I'm never going to scour levels/an open worls map for one collectible I've missed, I'm gonna use a guide. It makes it easy but time consuming, and ultimately unrewarding.
Give me something that is reasonable to figure out without a guide, but challenging.
@Vaako007 Yep, they can be a great proof of accomplishments, and motivation to get the most out of a game. That is assuming the trophy list is well made.
@AhmadSumadi Yep, they're all blending into one for me. I'll be honest and say I haven't played any of them, but they all have such a similar aesthetic and similar gameplay.
@Haruki_NLI As in, try they should try upping the production and combining resources to make the games actually good. It's baffling that one of the highest earning franchises can't put out a quality game.
This is why they really need to stop naming games like this, as well reboots/remakes with the exact same name like God of War, Ratchet and Clank and Doom. It just gets confusing. Game looks fun though.
If there's one I want to be true it's the Media Molecule one.
I'm concerned for their safety as a studio, and we could really use a chilled out game from them. Would not mind another Tearaway, or something like it.
Even the reason for it is pretty stupid (bloody AI), I really don't mind this generation being extended. With a point of diminishing returns being reached, console generations should get longer anyway.
@Darude84 I think a lot of the backlash is that previously, technology reduced the need for labourers doing mundane jobs such as farming and building. It's depressing when it takes away jobs that are meant to have a creative human element to them.
I got times mixed up and thought it started an hour later, but it looks like I missed nothing. Barely anything that remotely interested me, best thing is probably FF2 remake release date.
@Balaam_ Agreed with this. The first 3 Uncharted games are fun enough, but despite TLOU being my favourite game ever I have no interest in going for the Platinum. Being required to beat the game on the hardest difficulty is fair, being made to do it twice is silly. Also not a fan of collectible trophies (though this is hardly a ND exclusive issue), and trophies where you have to speed run the game.

Re: Star Wars: Galactic Racer Seems Like an Exciting Mix of Burnout, MotorStorm, and WipEout
I hear Star Wars game like Motorstorm. You have my curiosity, now you have my attention.

Re: Sony Makes Shocking Decision to Shut Down Bluepoint Games
Acquire studios to pointlessly close them, Sony is becoming as bad as EA.
Re: 'It's Going to Be a While Yet': The Elder Scrolls 6 Passes a Big Milestone, But Is Still Years Away
Isn't this what they said years ago?
Re: Opinion: The Euphoric Reaction to PS6's Rumoured Delay Really Confuses Me
It's not just the console you have to update, it's the accessories as well.
I have 4 Dual senses (including limited editions) that I like a lot, when the PS6 comes out, they sort of become obsolete.
Re: 'Partnering with PS Studios Has Empowered Us': Sony Steps Up Investment in Kena's PS5 Sequel
Sounds great, Sony could definitely use some more first party games like this.
Re: Sony's Latest State of Play Now Officially the Most Watched Ever
It's gonna need to keep it up. Sony have set their own standard high so they will likely be a lot of people watching the next one, lots of people to disappoint if the next SoP is boring.

Re: Kena: Scars of Kosmora a Bigger and Better PS5 Sequel, Out in 2026
Played Bridge of Spirits for the first time relatively recently and it was great fun, so this is awesome news.
Re: Here's Your Chance to Tell Sony What You Think of Horizon Hunters Gathering
Survey not active, can't imagine why.
Re: Mega State of Play Confirmed for Thursday, Over 60 Mins of PS5 Announcements and Updates
New Media Molecule game please!
Re: Planet of Lana 2 Launches in March on PS5, PS4, and It Looks Gorgeous
Looks lovely, just such a busy time for games I want over the next month.
Re: Promising Chinese God of War Game Will Be 'Optimised for PS5 in Collaboration with Sony'
@AhmadSumadi Yep, they're all blending into one for me. I'll be honest and say I haven't played any of them, but they all have such a similar aesthetic and similar gameplay.
Re: PlayStation State of Play Is Locked in for February, It's Claimed
@Titntin My nerves won't be settled until the game is on my PS5, but that is good to hear. Enjoy your retirement!
Re: Today, You'll Finally Get to Form Your Own Opinion on PS5 Shooter Highguard
I don't think it looks bad, I just have zero interest.
Re: PlayStation State of Play Is Locked in for February, It's Claimed
Probably hoping in vain, but I really want to see something from Media Molecule. Kind of anxious about how quiet they have been.
Re: Pokémon Dev Game Freak Steps Up the Production Values for Beast of Reincarnation on PS5
@Haruki_NLI As in, try they should try upping the production and combining resources to make the games actually good. It's baffling that one of the highest earning franchises can't put out a quality game.
Re: Pokémon Dev Game Freak Steps Up the Production Values for Beast of Reincarnation on PS5
@Haruki_NLI Makes sense, they should try if for Pokemon.
Re: Pokémon Dev Game Freak Steps Up the Production Values for Beast of Reincarnation on PS5
So they can step up production values for this, but not for Pokemon!?
Re: Call of Duty Sales Hit 17-Year Low with Black Ops 7
@danzoEX Agreed, maps, weapons, characters, atmosphere. It's a winner.
Re: Call of Duty Sales Hit 17-Year Low with Black Ops 7
Despite the tone of the total, it's genuinely depressing that it sold more than WAW which is still my favourite COD today.
Re: New Super Lucky's Tale's Name Starting to Lose Meaning with PS5 Re-Release
This is why they really need to stop naming games like this, as well reboots/remakes with the exact same name like God of War, Ratchet and Clank and Doom. It just gets confusing. Game looks fun though.
Re: 'Call of Duty on Track to Perform Over 60% Below Last Year': Ex-Activision Boss Bobby Kotick Sticks Knife in Flagging FPS Franchise
It still probably makes a lot of money. Still, could make more money if they made the games good like they used to.
Re: PS3's Sly Cooper Team Shut in Oculus Layoffs, Two Other Devs Closed
I was one of the few people that seemed to like Thieves in Time, so this is just really depressing.
Re: Feature: 15 PS5 Predictions for 2026
If there's one I want to be true it's the Media Molecule one.
I'm concerned for their safety as a studio, and we could really use a chilled out game from them. Would not mind another Tearaway, or something like it.
Re: Microsoft CEO Really Wants You to Stop Calling Generative AI 'Slop'
But it is slop.
Re: Rumour: PS6 Could Be Delayed Due to RAM Price Chaos
Even the reason for it is pretty stupid (bloody AI), I really don't mind this generation being extended. With a point of diminishing returns being reached, console generations should get longer anyway.
Re: Oh My Car! Street Fighter's Live Action Movie Looks Insufferable in All the Right Ways
I'll watch if it if any line tops "What is it with you women anyways? I killed my father too and you don't here me whining about it".
Re: Expedition 33 Breaks the Game Awards Record for Most Gongs in a Single Show
Mostly very well deserved, but calling it an indie game is quite a stretch. Though if TLOUII got best narrative, anything is possible.
Re: SOMA, Amnesia Team Reveals Ontos for PS5, Out Next Year
@nessisonett Not sure if this is a joke, but Andor is highly praised.
Re: Free-to-Play FPS Highguard Closes Out The Game Awards, Coming to PS5 on 26th January
Basically fantasy Apex Legends.
Re: When Is The Game Awards 2025?
@wildcat_kickz It's great, especially considering how many American sites just post the US times.
Re: When Is The Game Awards 2025?
As much as I'd love to see E33 win live, staying up 12-4am would kill me so I'll just catch up in the morning.
Re: Rumour: Dead Space Is 'On Ice', Could Be Sold Off to Help Cover EA's Acquisition Debt
God please, can they just sell off everything.
Re: Arthurian Action Game Tides of Annihilation Stuns in Staggering PS5 Boss Fight Trailer
Looks sick, hopefully it turns out better than Lost Soul Aside.
Re: Talking Point: The Game Awards 2025 Nominations Announced: Who Are Your Winners?
E33 absolutely sweeping.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Controversial AI Use Is Even Attracting Attention of US Politicians
@Darude84 I think a lot of the backlash is that previously, technology reduced the need for labourers doing mundane jobs such as farming and building. It's depressing when it takes away jobs that are meant to have a creative human element to them.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Single Player Campaign Is Being Torn Apart
As someone who used to be obsessed with COD, please for the love of god people stop buying it and let it fail.
Don't know if it's ironic that they're using AI to steal Ghibli art, but won't implement companion AI in the campaign.
Re: The Next Horizon Game Is an MMO for Mobile and PC, Prompting Fury from PS5 Fans
Iconic Playstation franchise not available on a Playstation console. Genius.
Re: Sony to Stimulate Japanese PS5 Sales with Cheaper, Region-Locked Model
Nice to see a console getting cheaper in this generation for once.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for November 2025?
I got times mixed up and thought it started an hour later, but it looks like I missed nothing. Barely anything that remotely interested me, best thing is probably FF2 remake release date.
Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
@Starkei That's fair, I can see the confusion.
Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
@Starkei You might be thinking of Asobo Studio who made Plague Tale? https://www.asobostudio.com/
Team Asobi who made Astro Boy are definitely Japanese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_Asobi
Re: State of Play Announced for 11th November, Focus on Japanese PS5 Games
Unexpected, bit of a longshot but I wonder if we'll get any news from Team Asobi.
Re: The UK Government Shoots Down 'Stop Killing Games' Campaign in Official Debate
Enforcing a Britcard and regulations that no one asked for, and not advocating for something people explicitly want. Useless government.
Re: Rumour: Crash Team Racing Could Be Making a Comeback, If This Strange Leak Is to Be Believed
I genuinely think CTR NF is genuinely one of the best racers ever made, so this is a no brainer.

Re: One of PlayStation's Best Developers Marks 40 Years of Incredible Games
Not a fan of TLOU2 and not optimistic about their future, but historically they were easily one of the best developers in all of gaming.
