@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?
The game doesn't make much sense, the fun part of lego based on franchises is playing and swapping out all your favorite characters, who are you going to play? Aloy? Erend? VArl? Sylens? Who else??
Anyway im just looking forward to a lego Thunderjaw set
Midori is extremely accurate, so maybe these will be at another event like Nintendo Direct as Square Enix is not a partner for this year's Summer Game Fest
Nintendo has DQIIIHD-2D, so I’m going to say PS will get FF Tactics remastered that was rumoured shown as the square Enix title. A release date for Lost Soul Aside and perhaps Convallaria, God of War Ragnarok PC, Until Dawn update, Concord update, Pragmata update and maybe silent hill 2. Indie wise Little Devil inside release date, and Judas release date, and for VR Half Life Alyx
Edit: of course Astro and Lego Horizon will be there too
Oh man, AAAA gaming is off to a bad start. Even on psnprofiles i had to travel a bit to find it, currently sitting at 438th place with 83 players, sheesh! As a comparison, while scrolling i saw other ubi games like Avatar, Crew Motorfest, AC mirage even Uno was higher. Currently SS KTJL is sitting at 142nd.
On a positive note, Xdefiant is at number 1 for them

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!!
Re: Ubisoft Board Orders Internal Investigation and Review into Company's Financial Woes
@torquex but female Eivor is apparently the canon one

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: Coveted, One-of-a-Kind Final Fantasy 7 LEGO Set Sold for a Ridiculous Sum

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
Re: Legacy of Kain Fans Turn Up for Soul Reaver Prequel Comic, Smashing Kickstarter Goal

Re: Crash Bandicoot 5 Reportedly Cut in Favour of More Live Service Games
Damn,guess I'm not getting that Spyro 4. Wonder if xbox will keep Activision as a call of duty machine and all other ips will die?

Re: Long-Awaited PS5 Game Lost Soul Aside Grabs a Few Minutes of Gameplay as Fans Beg for a Launch Date

Re: 'Unpolished' Star Wars Outlaws Gameplay Gets Blasted, But Ubisoft Insists on August Release Date
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
Re: Unknown 9: Awakening Steps Up with New Gameplay Walkthrough Trailer

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Most Anticipated PS5 Game for the Second Half of 2024?
Pre-ordered SW Outlaws and AstroBot, will definitely pick up Lego Horizon, and potentially AC Shadows
Re: Sunset Overdrive PS5 Port Not Happening, Insomniac's Too 'Busy'
A port seems like an easy win, someone like nixxes could do it surely.
Wonder if Venom is still going to be a thing or not?

I'm waiting for Nintendo Direct, I'm hoping it might give us the first glimpse at Switch 2

Re: Don't Worry, Sony's Most Recognisable Studios Are Still Focused on Single Player PS5 Games
Interesting to see Bend in the multi genre, and I guess Guerilla is in there with all the horizon projects they're cooking
Re: Xbox Games Are Selling Gangbusters on PS5
None of the games they’ve released so far are for me, but Forza Horizon would be very tempting, and maybe the Ori games
Re: Talking Point: State of Play May 2024 Predictions - What's Next for PS5?
Nintendo has DQIIIHD-2D, so I’m going to say PS will get FF Tactics remastered that was rumoured shown as the square Enix title. A release date for Lost Soul Aside and perhaps Convallaria, God of War Ragnarok PC, Until Dawn update, Concord update, Pragmata update and maybe silent hill 2. Indie wise Little Devil inside release date, and Judas release date, and for VR Half Life Alyx
Edit: of course Astro and Lego Horizon will be there too
