Tbf Forza is the only original MS ip in the list, and maybe Indiana Jones.

Just confirms how the live service push ***** up the release pipeline. PS5 could've had at least 3-4 more exclusives at this point if they stuck to what worked last gen.

It's a shameless rip off.

Tbh I'm a little tired of the Hulst-driven focus on Horizon this gen.

A new Marvel vs Capcom would sweep the floor with Tokon.

After the factions 2 debacle I honestly don't care what ND is working on.

Intergalactic's teaser didn't grab my attention.

Hopefully the gameplay reveal will change that but I'm not feeling the main character. She gives me massive quippy self-aware annoying protagonist vibe (Hi there, Forspoken!).

Looking like Verona from Cranked isn't helping either.

I can almost smell the american propaganda. Just more Hollywood slop

Sony, just take these live service games out behind the chemical shed and shoot them.

At this point they are just a reminder of the current leadership's (looking at you, Huslt) colossal management failure.

"Physint will be the first game in the fart-sniffing genre!"

Oh man, I can't wait. XD

So not a real showcase then. Moving along.

This one always looked like a tech demo for me. Imo there's a few more interesting games coming out of China than this one.

I think they should take a bit more inspiration from Final Fantasy and make each a one a unique story and characters with elements that carry over.

Hoping for a Nightreign DLC announcement.

Sony, if you won't fire Hulst at least demote him and send him back to Guerrilla.

Nah, better to put that money towards a new Castlevania.

It was actually better than I expected.

Ninja Gaiden 4 is looking amazing.
Valor Mortis looked pretty interesting.
Cinder City and Time Takers from NC Soft also caught my eye.
Legends announcement for Yotei was great.
Capcom also got a good showing with both RE:Requiem and Onimusha looking incredible.
I give Bloodlines 2 the benefit of the doubt because of the Chinese Room devs
And will the 3rd time be the charm for Lords of the Fallen? Probably not but we'll still get another one XD.

It's going to be another Bioshock in name only.

Art style: 10/10. Will buy.

@Propaperpusher I also (want to) believe that Sony is saving a Bloodborne remake or sequel as is its console-seller for PS6.

Man, I gotta stop hitting the hopium so early.

Lords of the Fallen just refuses to fall XD

I for one welcome our new chinese overlords.

You don't have to be an industry analyst to know the obvious but saying Helmen Hulst is very good is a very Patcher take XD.

I hope this forces them to bring back Shawn Layden and Shuhei Yoshida. We need Playstation people.

That's why I never liked GamePass. As a customer it may be the best bang for the buck, but as a gamer I see it as a danger to my favorite developers. I already saw it kill half of Arkane.

More non-news from the farteur.

Gave me flashbacks of terminator vs robocop. Might have to try this one out.

The only REAL homegrown xbox game there is Forza. The others are a logical result of Microsoft buying out the biggest third party publishers in the industry.

The reason this makes Sony look bad is because of their own fault too with their disastrous live service push and VERY LACKING first party output.

This generation has been pretty tepid. Covid didn't help obviously but at what point does that stop being an excuse? It's been five years already.

clarification: the REAL Ronaldo.

"Mind-bending" as in MechaTrump as the final boss?

if they add a first person mode it be more than enough for me to justify buying GTA IV again after all these years.

Why does it matter that it's made in Ukraine?

I'd be surprised if they don't beg for donations through the game too.

I still believe ND can deliver is just that... damn does that protagonist look like the bad guy from the first Crank movie. Verona! XD

@nessisonett preach, brother!

To everyone: Play Prey. It is is a massively underrated spiritual successor of sorts and the closest we got to a modern system shock sequel.

@trev666 Sony closing studios and cancelling games was the result of the abysmal push to live service.

In Microsoft's case the layoffs are a result of something that MANY people had warned before about it being an unsustainable model.

Both cases are examples of failures in management & direction.

$100 million dollar games are unsustainable in general. The games industry needs to learn from Nintendo: don't chase graphics.

Damn. I was really looking forward to Perfect Dark

@Anthony_Daniels "Ellie like Ace Ventura?" Wtf... are you trying to get me to watch season 2? XD

One way ticket please

Konami was right.

Sony should lean more on past gens classics.

Can't fool people twice I guess.

I bet Kojima would apologize to americans for the atomic bombs XD

Clueless politicians looking for any platform to stand on. Some things never change

Final Fantasy needs to go back to its roots and bring back turn-based combat, chocobos, airships, mini-games, ditch scifi and go back to quirky fantasy.

Edit. FF has had an identity crisis ever since Final Fantasy XI, which was an MMO like FFXIV, then they started experimenting with real-time with FFXII and they just haven't "nailed" it.

I hope Square takes a long, hard look at Persona, Clair Obscur, even Yakuza/Like a Dragon and realize that FF never needed to be reinvented: it practically invented the rules for JRPGs along with Dragon Quest.

@somnambulance you are very brave.

Personally, I'm not a fan of the anime aesthetic in JRPGS: it makes all of them look too samey. That and the cringey tropes that never fail to make an appearance.

Regading the sales: Maybe that's what happens when you release day one on GamePass?

I hope Square takes a long, hard look at these games, specially Clair Obscur, and regain sanity with regards to Final Fantasy and gets rid of real time combat for XVII.

Mmmmm nah, give me more SEGA characters.

Sony should just do a "Ready Player One-type PS HOME" where players can do a variety of activities (racing, battle royale, etc.) and marry them to a an IP (racing: wipEout, driveClub, etc; shooter: killzone, socom, etc; sports: Hot Shots Golf, MLB the Show.... the sky is the limit); earn some type of currency to buy skins, decorations, whatever.

But no, Sony chose to make Concord.

If Kojima farts in the forest will his cult run to sniff it?

Gameplay wise it's one of my favorite games ever.

On the narrative side, while I do understand the decision to hole-in-one Joel I feel they didn't execute it right. I didnt´t like the seraphites, it was too heavy-handed lecturing for my taste.

Factions 2 being promised as a multiplayer then turning into a standalone F2P and then cancelling, all without us ever since more than one concept art piece really soured it in general for me.

I see now why some people say the first last of us as good in spite of Druckmann's involvement because there were people that could reign in his dumber ideas, like the cross-country lesbo revenge odyssey that part 2 devolved into. In general the plot of part 2 went nowhere, it dint' advance anything, the world isn't closer to a cure, all it did was kill Joel so there was a reason for Ellie to lose her *****.

Aw, man. I hadn't realized how bad Druckmann ***** up until right now XD.

All that money syphoned off of game budgets is paying off!

And the cult will eat it up as another genius Kojima moment.

"ohNo, My, gAmE iS tOo GoOd. IMuSt mAkE iT dIfFeReNt oOoH!"

LFMAO stfu XD how can anyone not see the scam? Kojima just been syphoning money to his Hollywoods "friends"/paying for connections, networking.

But oh no he is a genus aueteur. XD

Edit And a moron with a serious need for constant attention.

KONAMI did the smart thing in giving this budget leech the boot.

All my attention and hype for bloober is reserved for the Silent Hill remake.
