Re: Sucker Punch Thinks Only 10% of Studio Would Be Hyped to Make Sly Cooper

"Personally, as much as we have a soft spot for these old franchises, we don’t buy this idea that Sony needs to keep every series it owns alive until the end of time. Part of the beauty of PlayStation is how it’s been able to reinvent itself with each subsequent generation."

Kind of funny you say this, because this has been a very safe generation in terms of new IP from Sony's first party (owned by Sony) studios. Not to say there has been nothing new, but this really feels like we're still in the PS4 generation.

And I get not every series can realistically go on forever, but it can't be too hard to at least revisit old series once in a while.

Re: Ghostrunner Dev Changes History for PS5 Souls-Like Valor Mortis

@Nepp67There's a lot more to being a soulslike than simply being hard. It's largely about game structure, and level design, as well as the lock on combat system. I can't really think of how Ghostrunner is remotely comparable other than being hard. That being said, it needs to be seen exactly how this new game is supposedly a soulslike.

Re: Ambitious Open World RPG Crimson Desert Delayed to 2026

@Zeroo From my list alone from September onwards: Metal Eden, Cronos: The New Dawn, Hirogami, Silent Hill f, Sonic Racing Crosswords, Dreams of Another, Little Nightmares III, Once Upon a Katamari.

For the record, a game isn't worth glossing over because it's not a 10/10. 7s and especially 8s are still worth if they interest you.

And for me Silent Hill f is definitely a must play.

I must be out of the loop because I didn't realise this got delayed. It looks cool, but it's coming out at a completely stacked time for me. We got Sword of the Sea, Lost Soul Aside, Hirogami, and Cronos: The New Dawn all coming out within 2 weeks either side of it. There are way too many games coming out all at once, and it's a severe first world problem.

@Flaming_Kaiser The only reason I got Black Ops 6, is because friends got me to buy it. In fairness, it is pretty good for a social game, and that probably contributes to a lot of their sales. Still, I was very insistent on waiting until it was on sale. I have no plans to buy another anytime soon, because we are well past the point of newer games being as good as the old.
