Death Stranding 2: Meh tbh. More curious if Kojima will change the playstyle. Keep the walking-sim extravaganza or lean more towards horror as he´s been recently implying? falling back to classic MGS gameplay? Only certainty is it will have cringe-worthy questionable moments that his fans will defend as "misunderstood", "quirkyness" or "social commentary".
Horizon FW Burning Shores: Would have loved to see gameplay. No opinion really, still haven't played Forbidden West but I had a lot of fun with Zero Dawn and its DLC and this is basically more of the same.
Judas: This one was a big surprise. I was just thinking the other day 'what ever happened to Ken Levine´s narrative legos concept?' Looks very Bioshock-y but I'm more interested to know about the mechanics. Maybe something in the vein of Arkane's Prey: Mooncrash and Deathloop? Very much looking forward to this one.
Armored Core VI: Game of the show right here. New Armored Core by a Post-Souls From Software? SIGN ME UP.
Remnant II + Lords of the Fallen: Both of these looked pretty good and the original games had potential so I'm keeping my eye on these two.
Company of Heroes 3: This was a nice one because I very much wanted to play it but my potato laptop would have exploded if I tried to install it.
Space Marine 2: Not really a WH40K fan and didn't play the original game, but it looked like some nice visceral fun.
Hades 2: This one was a big surprise. Supergiant Games first sequel to their latest (and best). Very very looking forward to this one. (Ok, now: when the sequel to Transistor?!)
Final Fantasy XVI: It's looking insanely good. Not crazy about the j-pop/anime looks that plague every jrpg but the combat and enemy/creature design look superb.
Diablo IV: I should be more excited about this one. Going to need to hype myself up on youtube I guess.
Star Wars: Jedi Survivor: Not a Star Wars fan, won't get it. Now that we got that out of the way, it looked pretty good so for any fans this looks like a day one.
Suicide Squad: Another meh. You've done it, entertainment industry, you've milked Harley Quinn dry. Move along now.
Street Fighter VI + Tekken 8: As a superficial fighting fan both of these look like good fun.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty: Still a question mark for me. Will they add more RPG gameplay and fidelity to the open world or is it still more pretty-looking window dressing? The casting of Idris Elba makes me wary CDPR is leaning towards the latter.
Crash Team Rumble: Why not Crash Team Racing 2?
Hellboy Web of Wyrd: Big fan of the mignolaverse so I'm looking forward to seeing more of this one.
Atomic Heart: Looks like one of those quiet games that comes out of nowhere to become a sleeper hit.
Banishers: Need to see more to form an opinion. Looks interesting.
Underdogs? MS has had an unlimited budget to build up their first-party development and publishing arms and failed to do for almost 20 years.
The problem with MS has always been that they just buy studios and/or IP but don't nurture their growth. It's the reason franchises like Halo and Gears of War are shadows of their former selves.
@Korgon and the Witcher 3 had a lot of performance issues when it released, like A LOT. The difference with CP2k77 was that it was still a great era-defining RPG without all the technical faults that were eventually ironed out and Cyberpunk Is, from what I hear, a great looking gamer with a good story baked on top of superficial systems. The problem is all the promises and hyperbole made by CDPR made It seem like the gamer was massively downgraded.
Lol testing on all consoles you are releasing should be like the bare minimum.
I don't know, you'd think they learned the lesson but then they go and announce like four far-future date TBD projects on one go so I'm not holding my breath.
LMFAO the narcissism in this man is off the charts now xD. Says they won't show anything for TGS but drops a petty teaser right when the show is starting because he can't resist others having the spotlight.
I preferred cooky game designer Kojima to this pretentious auteur.
We just go from dissapointment to dissapointment with Atlus, lately. I think we can confirm by now that the Persona anniversary sucked big time and was just a greedy cash-grab from them. I think there was only one game announced from the "9 MYSTERY PROJEKS!!!"
COD is leaving after PS5. The writing was on the wall since the sh*t became public.
Does anyone really think MS won't pull the carpet from under Sony?
MS obviously didn't like how the PS4 totally dominated the past generation so they do this anti-competition deals to buy publishers because that is the only way they can compete with Sony.
"If I can't beat you in the playground then I'm going to buy the best games so everyone plays with me and not you and declares me winner". That's MS basically: a fat rich boy with no friends x,,D
Personally I frankly don´t care. I have touched COD since World at War. I tried Warzone for like a minute: boom. Dead before I even touched the ground. Then the game tells me I was hacked. HACKED! LOL! The match hadn't even started. Uninstalled. Bonus: Tons of hd space.
Imo the only good COD was the first one and its expansion Allied Offensive.
The difference is Sony creates most of its exclusive content with first parties or through partnerships, Microsoft just buys titles and studios because they haven't been able to set up a decent "Microsoft Games Studio" in 20 years.

Re: Naughty Dog May Move On from The Last of Us Like It Did with Uncharted
Difference is Uncharted 4 closes off the series while tLoU:p2 sets up a third part.
Re: HBO's Show Triggers a Meteoric Rise in The Last of Us Sales
Hopefully all this interest will reach critical mass just in time for the announcement of the now standalone Factions MP game.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy the Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden Remasters?
Persona 3 is a masterpiece in tone and atmosphere but I won't be double-dipping. Won't reward Atlus for draggin their feet & milking the fanbase dry.
Re: PSVR Gems Rez Infinite, Tetris Effect Coming to PSVR2, Small Fee to Upgrade
Not a bad deal at all.
Rez (vr)2 when?
Re: JETT: The Far Shore's Free DLC Campaign Blasts Off on PS5, PS4 on 31st January
Hmmm may have to finally give this one a try.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for January 2023?
The Armored Core games of PS1 and PS2 are a missed opportunity with the announcement of AC6 by From.
Re: Random: Gran Turismo Movie Director Neill Blomkamp Is a WipEout Fan
A WipEout movie sounds like a way better idea than Gran Turismo. Wtf sony!
Let this be a reminder that we need a new WipEout for PS5/PSVR2.
Re: Deathverse: Let It Die Going Offline to Be Redeveloped
Hope they remake it in the style of Let it Die. That blueprint had pontential worth following through.
Re: Ambitious The Last of Us Multiplayer Gets New Art As Series Passes 37 Million Units Sold
I have high hopes for the next Factions.
Re: Persona 3 Portable Trophies on PS4 Ask You to Beat the Game Twice
Atlus could just remake P2, P3 and just take my money but all we get are low effort ports.
Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for January 2023 Announced
Strong month I guess. (Not a Star Wars fan but great win for those who are)
Re: Toy Story 2 Is 2022's Most Played PS1 Classic on PS Plus Premium
@Human_Tornado So true. Right now would be a perfect time to release the armored core games from ps1 and ps2.
Re: Death Stranding 2 Leveraging Next-Gen MetaHumans Tech for Photorealistic PS5 Visuals
Hope they don't forget to add the "fun" this time!
Re: Scrappy PS2-Esque Character Action Returns in Wanted: Dead on PS5, PS4
Seems to be a one-note game that plays said note very well. Yep, looks like ps2 comfort food.

Re: Yes, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Is a Paid Expansion, Makes Headlines for Some Reason
@grapetrap Nah. Management decided to release anyway to please their investors.
It's goint to be a long uphill road until they can get any good will back from gamers.
This game could have been the successor to Deus Ex but even the 2000 original is more reactive. Damn, I miss the Denton bros.
Re: Yes, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Is a Paid Expansion, Makes Headlines for Some Reason
It's going to be slow news days until December 8.
Re: Random: Kratos Doesn't Want to Discuss PS All-Stars Battle Royale in God of War Ragnarok
Sony has to try another go at an All- Stars versus game.
If WB can do it.
Re: Kojima Productions Isn't for Sale, Despite Ridiculously High Offers
Can you stop with the sudden surge of Kojima non-news?
He only talks about himself... just makes me not care about his games anymore.
I can understand why Konami said "***** it" and dropped him like a used condom.
Re: Deadpool 2 Actor Will Appear in Next Hideo Kojima Game
Seems like every week there is a new kojima fart-smelling article.
Re: Hideo Kojima Says Next Project Will Transcend Video Games, 'It's Almost Like a New Medium'
@KundaliniRising333 50/50 it's going to be a Dark Pictures/Quantic Dreams games ripoff starring Norman Reedus.
Re: Hideo Kojima Says Next Project Will Transcend Video Games, 'It's Almost Like a New Medium'
Go home, kojima. You've smelled one too many of your own farts today, buddy.

Orange Box 2 please.
Re: Wild Hearts Is EA's Feudal Japan Fantasy Game, Set to Be Revealed This Week

Re: Onimusha Finally Returns... As a Netflix Anime
If we have to suffer through another terrible netflix adaptation of a capcom ip for a new Onimusha then so be it.
Re: Video: Here's Why The Last of Us: Part 2 Is Better Than Part 1 - But It's Nothing Without It
Part 1 would have been a must-buy for me if they had updated the gunplay up to part 2 standard. Might get it on a sale eventually
Re: Call of Duty's Impressive Ambitions Unveiled, Warzone 2.0 Drops in on 16th November
Crunchy, puncy gunplay? I'm sold.
This may be the first COD game I buy since World at War.
Re: Call of Duty's PS5, PS4 Exclusive Operator Amusingly Announced Amid War of Words
If the deal goes through it will be the last time COD is on a PS console, period. It makes no sense for MS otherwise.

LMFAO the narcissism in this man is off the charts now xD. Says they won't show anything for TGS but drops a petty teaser right when the show is starting because he can't resist others having the spotlight.

Re: Hey, Super Promising PS5, PS4 Co-op Shooter The First Descendant Still Looks Really Good
We need more "little players vs GIANT MONSTERS" kind of games.
Re: Atlus Wants to Sell You Another Persona 5 Royal Collector's Edition, This Time on PS5
We just go from dissapointment to dissapointment with Atlus, lately. I think we can confirm by now that the Persona anniversary sucked big time and was just a greedy cash-grab from them. I think there was only one game announced from the "9 MYSTERY PROJEKS!!!"
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at Sony's Latest State of Play?
Synduality was a nice surprise. My interest was definitely picked by that one.
GoW: Ragnarok looks like another heavy-hitter.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?
Tbh my excitement went down a notch knowing it doesn't have the upgraded gunplay of part 2.
Back to waiting for factions I guess.
Re: Embracer Completes Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal Acquisition
Just hire Warren Spector to make a proper Deus Ex.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Saints Row?
Just look at that harmless looking crew of baristas.
Re: The Last of Us: Part I Launch Trailer Is Here, Looks Incredible on PS5
I got the remake free with a PS4 bundle so I have no problem splurging for this one if it has the modernized gameplay of Part 2.
My body is ready for crunchy gunplay.
Re: Saints Row (PS5) - Seriously Dumb Fun Outweighs Dated Open World
@HeeHo Its outdated because open world games have been doing the same things for the last 15 years. The genre is in dire need of innovation.
Re: Saints Row (PS5) - Seriously Dumb Fun Outweighs Dated Open World
Did anyone expect different from a soulless cash-in wearing the Saint's Row corpse?
The barista gangsters never stood a chance.
Re: Sony Sued £5 Billion for 'Ripping Off' PS5, PS4 Players
Oh I'm sure this is NOT one of those frivolous lawsuits that "advocates" pull out of their anuses.
Re: Elden Ring Sells 16.6 Million Copies in Just Four Months
@Sqush-Pare Exactly, that´s what happens when you follow trends instead of interests.
Re: Elden Ring Sells 16.6 Million Copies in Just Four Months
And if past experience is any indication the eventual DLC (or DLCs) will make the game even better.
I'd actually like to see From go back to Armored Core.
Re: New Tales from the Borderlands Arrive on 21st October for PS5, PS4
I played every Borderlands but 3 and I can agree Tales has the BEST story. I have fond memories of it and is not even that old.

Re: Soul Hackers 2 Launch Day DLC Detailed, Includes Bonus Story Arc, Costumes & More
Day one stoy DLC is just greedy.
Atlus pulling Atlus ***** again.
