I'll be sad to see it go because it's improved a lot since launch. Unfortunately it hasn't been able to shake it's negative reputation.

And to the Smash/Brawlhalla/Rivals players celebrating its downfall...it's not like MvS shutting down is going to bring us over to your game lol

I'll just go back to Tekken and Street Fighter

Nooooooo you can't just copy the Souls formula and add an easy mode! You have to beat them all SL1 with no weapons while blindfolded using a Guitar Hero controller!! Otherwise you didn't really beat it!

Id like three orders of Gears Of War, one Killer Instinct and a Banjo Kazooie for dessert.

I'm super excited to give this a try. I'm always looking to get into a new fighting game.

Never played a lot of KoF/SNK stuff before but this game looks really good.

I guess it depends on what exactly a live service GoW game would be.

As for the future obviously more single player experiences as GoW has been for practically it's entire existence outside of the online mode Ascension had

And id love to see remakes/remasters of the original trilogy and the PSP games but worry they'd suffer from heavy censorship. Not that I need the dumb sex mini games to enjoy them but let's be honest, that topic alone would cause controversy whether you're for it or against it lol

" Quick Match has been changed so that you do not enter a room and instead get immediately matched with an opponent. "

Hallelujah. The fact this wasn't the case at launch was wild. The only way to truly play matches quickly before this patch was to hop into Ranked

Never

Especially when I know it'll be the only mainline GTA game until PS7 and I can get it cheaper later with all the updates/polish already released

It's not like these games will ever capture the magic of the PS2 Era GTAs for me so I can be patient on this one

I definitely don't mind supporting remasters...but not of a game I just bought and played last gen.

I have no interest in Horizon Zero Dawn or TLOU2 remastered lol

But I will support things like the Soul Reaver remasters and stuff like that, you know stuff that hasn't been available on most modern machines.

This actually looks really good

I'm definitely gonna keep my eye on this one

@Mikey856 Yes I know about it, but I didn't quite get what you meant by "Fatal fury as if it’s happening".

@Mikey856 ...What?

Anyway pretty sick lineup. I'm even happier knowing Killer Instinct will be there too just not on the main stage 🔥

I think I'll be most excited to see who takes home 1st in Tekken 8 this year. Generally I'm more of a Street Fighter guy but I'm really feeling T8 right now. I'm addicted lol

Dude I want to be able to buy Simpsons Hit and Run. I'm not even asking for a remaster, just port it and I'll buy it lol

That would completely ruin fighting games.

I'm normally not a big fan of huge open world games but I thoroughly enjoyed Ghost Of Tsushima, I even bought the Post-launch DLC which I did not originally plan on doing.

So yeah I'm excited for the new Ghost. Idk what exactly it was about Tsushima that made me love it so much, but I did lol

Give me Killer Instinct with full cross play YOU COWARDS

" Battle Passes in Marvel Rivals don't expire "

That's actually awesome. This should absolutely be the industry standard.

@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy The fact we can't play in duos is so odd to me.

We can do solo or trios...but not two people? I wish they'd at least explain their logic behind that decision. I want them to make it make sense lol

Probably still better than one of the explosive Muskmobiles lol

Ima try to get it on this. I love Soulsborne games, but I'm not totally sold on this so maybe if I get to play it first I can see if it's for me or not.

I enjoyed the two mainline Horizon games but I can definitely live without a movie.

Maybe if they got the director and writers of Prey (2022) Dan Trachtenberg and Patrick Aison to tackle it the film could be something special, but I don't know who else could really pull off a good Horizon movie that actually captures the essence of the games.

They did this in the past and it failed.

I'm open to it if they offer something decent, but it's going to be hard to compete with already established manga apps like the Shonen Jump App and MangaPlus.

They're right. A ton of people (myself included) have no interest in dealing with the hassles that come along with building a PC or replacing specific parts of it.

I want to plug it in and play video games. I'm not trying to worry about having to replace or upgrade GPU, CPU, SSD/HDD, PSU, RAM, cooling systems, Motherboard etc.

It's a pain in the butt and I have no interest in it.

@YoureTooSlowBro I bought it lol

I'm a massive Friday The 13th fan but this game just didn't do it for me. The nods/references/fan service were top notch but the gameplay didn't click for me. Still sad to see it go because I know many fans still enjoy it.

At least Jason Lives on in Multiversus and Mortal Kombat X.

That's fantastic news.

I know Spyro/Crash aren't really Sony anymore but if we could get new MediEvil, new JakNDaxter, new Sly Cooper id be so happy.

Hell id love to at least get one more Ratchet and Clank this generation, even if it's entirely Rivet and Kit focused.

Diversity/inclusion isn't inherently political or bad unless your brain is wired to think that's the case.

Let's rewind back to Street Fighter 2. It has men and women from all over the world in it...but nobody cried about "DEI" or "Woke" when it came out.

It's all about how it's handled/executed. Tekken has men and women from all over the world too, and they all speak their native language in-game, and I don't see chuds crying about it.

So what separates those games from let's say, a Concord? On a surface level id say it's character designs that are appealing to the players.

When I tried Concord during it's free weekend I literally sat there for minutes trying to decide who to try because none of them appealed to me, they just about all looked dumb so I tried the robot.

When Street Fighter 6 launched I booted it up and saw multiple characters I wanted to try right away like Kimberly, Lily, Marisa, Deejay, Manon, Jamie etc.

And for those unaware, Kimberly is a Black American woman, Lily is a Mexican girl, Marisa is a huge muscular Italian woman, Dee Jay is a Jamaican man, Manon is a woman from France, and Jamie is a guy from Hong Kong.

Pretty diverse right? The main difference is the characters in Street Fighter 6 look cool, fun, or interesting in one way or another. Concord had the diversity, but the characters looked terrible.

Diversity, equality and inclusion in games are all good things, however you still have to make a game people actually want to play.

The first one has an odd face that doesn't look like Eve, the second one actually looks like Eve.

And all art is fair to criticize, even artists depicting other characters. For example I think almost all of WarnerBros.animated DC movies/cartoons have an ugly art style. Superman has a square head and Charlie Brown eyes. It doesn't look good to me, but the artstyle in My Adventures With Superman does appeal to me.

I've seen Tite Kubo (Bleach) draw Dragon Ball characters and thought it looked great, I also have seen Eiichiro Oda (One Piece) draw Dragon Ball characters and didn't think his style really worked for DB characters.

I don't see how people criticizing this is any different if they don't think it looks good so long as they aren't being nasty or hateful.

Ngl Clive actually brought me back to the game after not having played since like August

@Tchunga I actually see where you're coming from with that, DD2 definitely has a wider variety of ways to fight than the others I mentioned.

I suppose when I think "ARPG" I generally think of more high speed combat or the more Soulsborne style methodical combat.

I loved DD2 btw, I just suppose if we're talking ARPG SB and Wukong scratched that itch a little more for me whereas DD2 had fun and diverse combat, but the open world aspect with time sensitive quests seemed more like it was more about the adventure, exploration and story.

SB and Wukong just have that high octane combat I tend to enjoy a bit more than DD's combat style.

All great games though. Space Marine 2 was awesome as well. We were eating good on ARPGs this year come to think of it lol

I disagree with DD2 being the #1

It's definitely a toss up between Wukong and Stellar Blade for me. DD2 was good but the combat wasn't anything to write home about, and it had tons of bugged quests and stuff.

Maybe the best open world RPG, but definitely not the best action RPG.

@EddieGallad It is a site focused on Playstation, however that doesn't mean they can't poke fun sometimes and have to shill 24.7

Personally not a huge fan of the lore implications of it. Id rather them just say they're non-canon cameos purely there for fun lol

Project Century was the only one that actually caught my interest. Obviously The Witcher 4 is hype but unless the combat is dramatically improved over TW3 I'm on the fence.

And I'm sure the ew Ninja Gaiden by the Blasphemous devs will be a banger

Other than those though almost all of the reveals were pretty mid for me.

It sounds cool, but like with The Witcher series it needs to have improved combat.

TW3 had everything I wanted in a game like that but the combat was so jank I couldn't force myself to finish it, and that was on the supposedly improved PE5 version.

Oof

I was already on the fence with this one but since my homies are all on PC I definitely have no reason to get this now.

For me it's...

1. Wukong

2. Warhammer Space Marine 2

3. Stellar Blade

4. Dragon's Dogma 2

5. Sparking Zero

Note - I haven't played Astro Bot myself yet, but I'm planning on it eventually.

That sounds terrible

Can we just get Dark Souls 4? Bloodborne 2? Or Demon's Souls 2?

Is it open world like ER? If so, im good.

I'll just play DS3 if I want to fight The Nameless King again.

I hope it's Wukong, but I'm expecting Astro Bot.

This is unfortunate.

Digital is convenient sure and I buy games digitally sometimes but I still prefer to own a physical copy I can. They can't play that "You're only paying for a license" bs when you own a disc and can pop it right into your PS4/PS5.

Not only did Concord not offer anything unique, it literally had one of the worst looking roster of playable character I've ever seen...and I've been gaming since the 90's lol

And no I'm not being hyperbolic, the cast was that bad.

Yes, exclusively for reveals lol

@StrickenBiged: That would be a licensing nightmare and pretty much miss the point of the game being goofy legally distinct knock offs lol

I need this ASAP lol

Probably the closest thing we're gonna get to Killer Instinct or Clayfighter on a PS console

Erdtree shouldn't even be nominated unless the category is "Paid DLC Expansion of the year".

At least Wukong is a full standalone game, not DLC.

It's 3rd Person Overwatch, which is pretty cool as I prefer 3rd Person to First Person perspectives in video games.

And all characters are available to you from the get go like OG Overwatch, the battlepass/store seems to be exclusively for cosmetics that don't really affect the actual gameplay in anyway.

Id rather them delay it and release it in a good state than rush it out of the door unpolished

Not mad at all, plus with Soul Reaver Remasters dropping in two days I have something to keep me entertained for the rest of 2024

TGA is now the closest thing we have to the old E3 conferences/reveals so I enjoy tuning in to see what games get revealed

I don't really care about the actual awards lol
