@Anya-chan it's a hat. I haven't seen any promo images with anything but a hat.

It looks way better in motion than it does in the screenshots. Glad I took a second to watch the gameplay because I almost wrote it off.

@Anya-chan agreed... but odd call out in response to this story.

@thechetearly I'm sure there will be an actual PS6 console. A lot of people don't need or want a handheld.

PS: Love that you are repping the Chariot. Sad I missed seeing them live.

@crackeastwood that didn't work out financially for them. They are now opening the floodgates on "held back" games. I don't think you can blame them too much for trying out a tactic to regain market share. Sony just has too much of a lead at this point.

@crackeastwood they currently have a great value proposition for the consumer. That being said, I believe it is to the industries own detriment to go down the game subscription path. Why do you see them so poorly?

@JB_Whiting Probably had to release the game now to pay the bills and make payroll or shut it all down. My guess is the developer closes by the end of July.

Why such sour tunes? Getting access to a brand new game like FBC: Firebreak would be fine in and of itself. Everything else is icing on the cake. Katamari is some delicious icing btw.

@Bramble but in that case you are still rooting for the team of that Coach/player you are following to win. And a lot of teams have players from that city on the roster.

Seriously sounds like a high 6 to a low 7 review score. I think it gets a bump because of the developer's stellar track record and fear of backlash from fans.

@LifeGirl it would be better to be further from the PS6 so they can sell a enhanced or remastered version a few years later at launch. If it is really close to the PS6, you may see the PS6 remaster in year 2 of the console.

Star Wars in Destiny sounds like a jump the shark moment. Is Bungie cooked?

@Areus RE5 is nowhere near as popular as RE4. I don't think it would have the same level of success.

@Frmknst Stop saying you got it “for free” because it’s on Game Pass. You’re paying for it.
You don’t say Dollar Shave Club razors are free. Or that your apartment is free. It’s a "subscription".
Look how the video streaming services played out. Prices go up, content gets scattered between multiple services, and you end up paying more for less.

@lazarus11 PIG? Fantastic little film. It's one of Cage's better performances.

@Residentsteven what's your go to racing game?

Reminds me of the old PS3 game Afrika.

@Alps_Stranger are you playing in base or Pro?

My feeling is a lot of people did not play this game when it came out. Seeing it in a new light probably pushed some holdouts into pre-ordering. I played it for the first time on the PS5 and it was fantastic in all its 60fps glory.

I don't understand these games at all and I feel like it's too late for me to get in the loop.

Was this as fun as Horizon 4? I had a blast with that game.

The gift that keeps on giving. Great game.

The longer I watched the trailer, the more it started to feel like a real job. How much are they paying us per hour to play this game?

I had no clue Japan was this prudish around violence in games. I thought that it was mainly Australia the censored games. You learn something new everyday.

It looked generic and the name of the game didn't do it any favors.

@BeerMonster this isn't a super recognizable IP. It's hardly just a cash grab.

I would have expected them to be in deep development already. Hopefully this is not a sign that they are still in the early stages of dev on their next game.

It's hard to win people over to a new franchise. This was a poor intro, and I am not even curious about the world. I think Naughty Dog will pull it off, but this is weak marketing.

Where did she get a fountain soda in space? Also, why are there random Star Wars robots chilling in the woods. This is super cheesy looking, but hopefully it will be fun.

Glad my backlog is huge. I get to play a lot of games for the first time in their best state.

@UltimateOtaku91 It's already sold really well, even without these launch features. I agree this should have been included from the start, but at least it adds extra value for those who’ve already purchased it. Presumably, it just wasn’t ready for prime time at launch. On the bright side, at least you could play right away without needing to sign up for a service—just owning the game was enough. This feels like icing on the cake now.This is icing on the cake.

@LifeGirl It only looks bad for Sony from a outside perspective. The real culprit is the developer's implementation of the update. There are a lot of games, updated or not, that run far better on the Pro. If you hop into the PS5pro subreddit you will see that a good portion of the users are quite impressed with the results (you kinda also have to have a high end display for a lot of this to actually matter).

@Dampsponge I heard they have done a bunch of updates over the years to make the combat a lot better than it was at launch.

Dying Light 2 hasn't been available yet for PS+. I am definitely giving that a go. They are inevitably going to run out of games to offer, and will cycle through old ones.

Expensive..."learning". Hope they get student loan forgiveness in the next election.

@UltimateOtaku91 totally forgot it was on PS2. I played it on PC like a good boy.

Who plays these games with a controller? Odd.

This might work bc people are going to want to download it for free to see what all the fuss was over. If it is actually good, then they might win some people over in the process. It's definitely a gamble.

PS5 Pro is a must in this situation. Are they going to do this from here on out so people buy the pro? lol

@JB_Whiting it's just a bad title.

@mrbone Have you played the first Dying Light? It is surprisingly quite fun if done right. Mirrors Edge was one of the first games to really show there was more to first person than just walking and running.

@Hi569 I still don't even know if I've played an extraction shooter.

In the Summer I rarely game because I would rather enjoy the outdoors while I can. I typically wind down with a short tv show before bed. I'll maybe play on a rainy day.

Concord will be on PS+ by end of year.

@GamingFan4Lyf they will be good with whatever sells. They know the catalog they are investing in. Plus, the found and CEO holds a lot of shares, and would most likely have full control.

@Decoy_Snake The Lord of the Rings: Gollum

@Dusk_Actual I've heard that the game requires a steep investment of time to get a handle of. For better or for worse it doesn't sound like a game for casuals.

@TicklefistCP Extra or Premium? I would regret a Premium subscription. Hopefully it gets better now that the have added more PS2 support. Next they need a PS3 emulator.

This doesn't necessarily end Just Cause. Montreal has not released anything yet because they were acquired in 2023. Does anyone know what series New York typically worked on? Or were they just a support studio?

@NinjaNicky if this is more arcady and accessible then it will scratch a different itch.
