Great little demo, couple sections I died alot. Didn't realize it was a cinematic platformer. Plays like a limbo, little nightmares style game. Price seems reasonable too, I'm a little disappointed at the cost of Reanimal for the length of it so Darwin seems the better buy
Best one easily, felt like a Showcase. The crazy thing is that they did a great SoP and so many major publishers were missing, no Sega, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, 2K, Warner Bros, Electronic Arts. Shows the industry is changing
Konami was arguably the biggest publisher in the world in the 90s. This renaissance that they're in currently is amazing. Silent Hill is back, Metal Gear is back, now maybe Castlevania. I'm here for it!
I'm just hoping that Square shows up with a next gen announcement. They've only released a handful of true AAA big budget games on PS5 and would love to see something, whether it be DQXII, KHIV, FFVIIR 3 or something new I'd be happy
@Boxmonkey state of plays tend to get lots of view, I'd imagine they pulled it from the presentation to avoid so much hate, which they still got anyway
This is awesome, big Ren and Stimpy fan, always jealous I couldn't play the games as I only had a master system. Shame they skipped the ones Published by sega
The only Final Fantasy left not playable on modern hardware from the PS1/PS2 era. I secretly hope it will get a Crisis Core style remaster eventually. Even a ps2 classic emulation would be nice
Google, Meta, Amazon have all tried and failed to make a impact in the games market. Probably harder industry than they imagined. Now talented teams and people are out of work
So Saros, MLB and Wolverine 2026, Intergalactic maybe 2027. Fairgames which will gst cancelled and then 9 studios with unannounced projects. Plus Dark Outlaw Games and LFG's projects
@TheArt I thought yes for sure, I was surprised Ubisoft wasn't there to show off AC4, Splinter Cell and PoP remakes. Especially as rumors have them releasing soon
Just okay for me. Liked that Expedition got goty, but most game announcements aren't games for me. Just a couple showcased that I'd play, but that's okay because of my backlog
You need to add to the last question none. I prefer SM>SM2, GoW18>GoWR, HZD>HFW, GoT>GoY.
As per sequels, I don't mind the strategy, i just wish there were smaller riskier titles in between. We don't get Concrete Genies, MediEvil remakes, The Orders, etc... anymore.
Bullfrog was my favorite developer in the 90s, shame once ES got ahold of them and ruined it. If Sony did aquire them, then maybe we will still be talking about them
Still don't believe this game is real until I'm playing it. I don't play all the gacha games that are put there, but I might make an exception for this one
Playstation quite often release games on PS Plus premium that tie into other games releases or announcements. This month they put up Legacy of Kain Defiance. My guess we're going to get LoK 6 announced
@MFTWrecks in terms of cancelations and studios shutting, this isn't exclusive to super hero genre, I think the problem is they get excited and announce them way too early, then the studio can't pull together a good game and is ultimately canceled. This will happen all the time behind the scenes on unannounced projects that are new IP. There was also a rumour that Disney wants 30% cut on licensed games, then if someone like Sony takes 30% for you to sell on their store page and you have a game not coming together in early development it's probably best just to scrap
@MFTWrecks apart from Suicide Squad and Avengers, comic book games have been solid in the last few years, Spiderman series, Midnight Suns, Rivals, Arkham series, GotG
@Diowine it will be multiplat but nintendo will more than likely have marketing rights. I think Square would rather save it for a big event with more eyes than a random Tuesday that happens to be Dragon Quest day
@twitchtvpat I still have my ps3, I sold my ps4 since 5 was bc. Also sold my original Playstation as ps2 was bc. So yeah, if there was a one stop box like xbox I would also sell my ps3 and ps2
@MrRhysReviews Aspyr got kicked off the remake a couple years ago, and I believe Sony has pulled out as a partner. Saber is doing the remake in-house now

Re: Big Silent Hill News in Next Silent Hill Transmission Livestream This Week
Awesome, townfall must be getting a trailer at SoP, then a full silent hill transmission after. They did this tactic in May 2024 SoP
Re: PS5's Wolverine Won't Be at This Week's State of Play
Its amazing that the SoP will run over an hour but won't feature one of Sonys biggest games of the year. What have they got up their sleeve 👀

Re: You Could Be Playing the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time PS5 Remake in a Few Weeks
Is this the first time Ubisoft has done a proper remake? They've done plenty of remasters but can't think of any examples of a proper redone game.
Re: Stellar Blade Success Helps Korean Games Thrive, Ex PlayStation Boss Believes
@SeaDaVie look up what indies actually means, it doesn't mean small.
And just look at the likes of Ubisoft, warner Bros, EA, even 2k, they aren't having hits like they used to
Re: Stellar Blade Success Helps Korean Games Thrive, Ex PlayStation Boss Believes
@SeaDaVie apart from Ghost of Yotel they are all indies. I was referring to AAA western
