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
Ive accepted the fact that we will probably never get another turn based Final Fantasy, but im hopeful that whatever the next lot of Chrono projects is will be turn based
Would Microsoft want to shove that out amongst Indiana Jones, Forza Hotizon and Doom for PS5? That would be a lot of releases in a short amount of time
I'm a big Square Enix fan and I think this is the first time I've seen them so quiet. They are so hush about their pipeline, they only have DQI and II HD announced for this year, and have gone very quiet on KHIV and DQXII. Even their mobile side seems absent. I'm so used to them in the past having over 10 announced games in the pipeline at any given time. They've only given us 3 next gen ganes so far as well
My issue with State of Play is inconsistency, when Sony started the format they were quite dull affairs, but got better over the years. We haven't had a showcase since May 2023 and honestly that wasn't much better than a SoP, September 2021 was their last good big presentation. State of Plays seem to be their only connection to gamers currently and they had a couple of decent ones last year that felt like showcases.
The latest sop I feel needed to be a big deal, the Playstation roadmap is a bit weak currently, Microsoft has a huge line up this year, nintendo has the Switch 2 and no doubt some great first party exclusives. If Sony won't give us a showcase then we look at sop's for our big news

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
