@twitchtvpat I hope the new studio working on Uncharted turns out to be true. I'm itching to play a new game in the series, i bet it will be a remake of the first game though.
As for Naughty Dog, I reckon it will be 2027/28 when we see them again, after the massive cancellation of Factions they probably only went into preproduction of a new title this year
@LifeGirl there was a report saying it will most likely get delayed to 2026.
Sony could have a crazy year, if they can get Wolverine out with Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei as well, then that would be massive. The dominoes must be getting ready to fall, with Cory Barlogs new IP, Bluepoints new game, Housemarques next game and new IP from Bend, we could be on the precipice of PlayStation Studio greatness for the next few years
This sucks, I'm part of the problem to, the type of games they make are generally up my alley but I haven't bought them, in fact I've only ever played Life is Strange from them. I'll have to support their next release
Nice, I haven't been able to get a physical copy of Silent Hill 2, so I'm going to bite the bullet, pay more and go digital as the next shipment is apparently end of October.
On a side note, how does Mortal Kombat still go hard?
@get2sammyb My son is obsessed with Transformers at the mo(just like his dad was/is), I'm on the fence, does it have accessibility options for little people?
This is why i hate not being able to change your PSN home country, I lived in Australia when i bought my PS3, Vita and PS4 so I have all my purchase history and trophies on my Ozzie account. I'm now back in NZ but still use my Oz account (have to use PCGAMESUPPLY to top it up) as i don't want to lose all my platinum's by starting a new account. I loved the first hotline game and always thought i'd get 2 at some stage, but i'd have to work arounds to get it now
@Shad361 It felt like everyone on my X timeline was playing it, and its still the no 1 game on PSNPROFILES, but maybe only the PlayStation faithful's bought it and the general audience ignored the 'kiddy game'
Either Astro didn't sell great at all, or the sales estimates of Star War Outlaws is well off, there were reports that it only sold a million copies worldwide and it sits at 4th place, does that mean Astro sold less than a million WW? Or did Outlaws just sell really well in the UK only and not the rest of the world?
After playing the Horizon level in Astro Bot, it made me look forward to playing through this, even though I believe they are saturating the Horizon IP.
Would also buy Horizon lego if it became available(already have the tallneck)
I enjoy ubisoft games, mainly the open world collectathons. They're like comfort food, turn your brain off and do repetitive duties. Their games are always 7 or 8's, and I can't remember the last time or ever they actually made a 10/10 masterpiece of a game that set the world on fire. Assassins Creed Odyssey is one of their only titles to be nominated for GOTY at the game awards. They definitely need a management shakeup as it just hasn't worked for them for so long
I partially agree, there are so many hidden gems out there which have a 60-70 mc that people don't touch but are great games.
But in saying that, I have limited gaming time these days, so I want to play the best of the best. It's a tightrope as I'm skipping games I know I'll enjoy but I want to play the 90 mc's.
The backlog grows everyday, just look at October, it's f**cken stacked
Oh wow, they have been my favorite indie publisher for a while, that sucks, hopefully they form their own brand or maybe join Kepler who are quickly becoming the next indie star
Be interesting to watch, Yves Guillemot does seem out of touch. Ubisoft is so large compared to other companies, only Microsoft is bigger I believe, the head count seems huge compared to titles released per year. I cant remember the last time they had a huge hit or made a 10/10 game(if ever).
Hogwarts legacy should win this by a mile, most of the games have been cheap movie tie ins, and the Lego games were, well Lego games(you've played one, you've played them all)
I'm going through this list, and nothing tickled my fancy, the games I'm looking forward to weren't at gamescom, cant pick what to vote for
edit: picked Mafia as I'm excited a new one is coming, but it didn't exactly have a good showing, as like Borderlands was just a nothing sort of CG trailer
Tough one, I'd like to get the next switch for my son, however Nintendo will need to break the voodoo they have as all their successor consoles never do as well as the predecessor. I'm interested to see if xbox will bring out a portable, as a handheld with gamepass seems real appealing. I've also been contemplating a steam deck as I used to primarily game on handhelds for a while, namely the PSP/Vita/DS/3DS so I will buy something. Just don't know if id go back to a PlayStation handheld with how quick they dropped Vita support
Wake me up when they've done a Final Fantasy pixel remaster II, feat. Mystic Quest, Tactics, Tactics Advance, Tactics A2, XII Revenant Wings, and IV:The after years(with Interlude)
I'm getting it day one, hoping it will still be fun, but yes game looks average in the graphics department, the explosions really stood out as they looked like 2 gens ago. Massive released Avatar and that looked great but the gameplay was very repetitive and unexciting so hoping outlaws will be the opposite
I had my eye on this game, but man that gameplay does not look good. We've all played this type of game before. And why are brutes always big bald guys in shirts?

I got the platinum for it, and it was a very frustrating time, from memory it had some of the worst rubber band AI in a game

Re: Ubisoft Board Orders Internal Investigation and Review into Company's Financial Woes
@Yagami no, to me a 7 is still a decent game, usually a few things from stopping being great. Even a 5 or a 6 can still be enjoyable
Re: Talking Point: What Was Your Favourite PS5 Game from State of Play September 2024?
Ghost of Yotei easily takes this for me, but revisiting Nosgoth is something I'm looking forward to!!

On a side note Star Wars Outlaws is a good game
Re: Sony: It's Massively Important PS Studios Develops Games in Various Genres
Playing the Aloy level of Astro now has me quite excited for Lego Horizon, more games like this are welcome
Re: Star Wars Outlaws Director a 'Little Disappointed' with Critical Reception
I've sunk about 20 hours in, and I'd give it a 8. It's just lacking a bit of polish.

Re: Forgotten PS Plus Shooter Foamstars Goes Free-to-Play in October
Yes, but only to get the trophy they released a few weeks ago, since I let my ps plus subscription lapse I haven't been able to log in and grab it.
I actually liked this game to, so I hope the free model does it some good as it is a lot of fun
Re: Japan Hit with Yet Another PS5 Price Increase
In NZ the rrp is 899, or 560 usd, I imagine sales have dropped as our economy isn't great at the mo.
I saw commentary on the Japan increase that it may be because Chinese scalpers are trying to get consoles because of Black Myths success
