It's pretty much a given that Capcom is working on a sequel to MH: World, and probably have been for a while, with the 20th anniversary of the series coming up next year.
You think they finish the stream with a bang? Trailer for MH: World 2 AND Dragon's Dogm 2 in less than a month?
As frustrating as it was 1st party-wise (cg teasers of live service games, really?) the Dragon's Dogma 2 reveal saved the day all on it's own for me. Alan Wake 2 was great as well (Max Payne? Is that you?!).
I thought Marathon was sp before checking the website for a massive dissapointment, but I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt because, a) it's bungie, and b) the set up sound like a pvp extration system shock (infiltrate a ghost space ship, rogue AI, mutations (?), runners).
Haven seems to be ANOTHER extraction shooter but it has a "heist" gimmick apparently. Not what I expected from Haven after all the hype around the studio about their "innovation and creativity". But Jade Raymond has proven more than capable so this is another wait and see.
I got nothing from Concord's teaser. Just that it's a space pvp shooter by Firewalk, run by a former Bungie boss. So, Destiny + No Man's Land? That's not a bad elevator pitch now that I think about it but, as with most of these teasers, I need more information and actual footage.
Spiderman 2 looks ridiculously impressive even if its more a "maybe" than a "day one" for me.
FFXVI looked equally unbelievable but please, Square, we don't need to see ALL the game before we can actually play it.
I did not care for Immortals of Aveum before but the trailer made me very curious. Noy a "day one" but I'll have to keep my eye on it.
Sony really needs to step it up for the next showcase because this was a tad dissapointing tbh.
And a special mention goes out to Square and their dreadful-looking Splatoon ripoff. How is this the same company that gave us Xenogears and Vagrant Story?
Game of the show: Dragon's Dogma II Runner up: Alan Wake II. Nice surprise award: Marathon. Single player FPS from Bungie? Sign me up. Looks unbelievable (but not my thing) award: Spiderman 2 Outstanding mention: Phantom Blade 0. Goddamn impressive but stop it with the trailers award: FFXVI. Dissapointment of the day would be Factions 2 awol, and the Haven live service game teaser. Just terrible award goes to Foamstars, a cringey ripoff of splatoon.
I give the showcase an overall score of 07/10. And only because of the DD2 reveal
Good times. Back in the PSX era, between the japanese companies, you could only consider yourself a big player if you had a flagship (j)RPG: Square had Final Fantasy, Enix had Dragon Quest, Konami and Suikoden, and Capcom had their own in the Breath of Fire series. Atlus and the SMT-spinoff Persona.
Anyone expect different from corrupt US govt? MS was even using its bought Redmond politicians to lobby in congress for this merger to happen. It was pretty much done once the european slaves approved it,
US govt is so bad this days it makes Donald "grab 'em by the p*ssy" Trump seem like a white knight coming to the rescue. X.....D
Oh no, don't tell me we'll miss "generic fantasy live service".
Can't say I'm not dissapointed about it. I know IO can make whatever the hell they damn please but I can't help but feel their talents are better used elsewhere.
Hell, a Hitman live service tarkov-like would have been more interesting.
Good so far, kinda lost some steam past couple of episodes, but you'll have to agree some "creative decisions" are just easy representation points, picking the low hanging fruit... its actually making the show kinda predictable, like I just just knew they race-swapped Maria before Tommy even revealed her identity. Like ok, Sarah is mixed now, all of the sudden, now Maria is bonafide Jada with a full set of hair for no reason.
It feels like they are just crossing off some kind of representation checklist.
Still, good show, but little details like these are distracting in the sense that you can't help but feel that they are unauthentic and just pandering to the crowd. Wouldn't expect any less from Neil Druckman tbh lol.
Man, I was cheering for this one to be at least a good 7/10. Charm alone may turn this one into a cult classic, it's happened to stranger games (looking at you, Nier).
MS should just learn to make good games instead of buying studios for short-term returns and running them into the ground in the mid-to-long term as they've done for the last 20 years.

Re: Random: Xbox Politely Points Out All the Non-Exclusives from Sony’s PS5 Showcase
hmmm... no Dragon's Dogma 2 among the lot. I would think they'd single out the big Capcom reveal of the show.
Could it be exclusive?
Re: Sony's Portable PS5 Streaming Handheld Launches Later This Year
No Vita 2/PSP3? Nothing to see here, folks.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at the PlayStation Showcase?
Game of the show: Dragon's Dogma II
Runner up: Alan Wake II.
Nice surprise award: Marathon. Single player FPS from Bungie? Sign me up.
Looks unbelievable (but not my thing) award: Spiderman 2
Outstanding mention: Phantom Blade 0.

Will Hideo, again, have 'questionable' (cringe) female characters? Probably.
Tbh there's far better developers in Japan that deserve at least have the budget this over-rated autueur got for his last few games.

Re: The Last of Us 2 Will Be Split Across Two or More Seasons for TV Adaptation

Good news as I felt season 1 felt a little rushed and could have used a couple for episodes at least.

@thefourfoldroot1 Exactly what happened last gen: releasing on PS4 just made better business sense if you were a dev with a limited budget.

Baldur's Gate 3 announced for PS5 was the only saving grace
