My first extraction shooter. Picked it up knowing Bungie's pedigree of a good feeling FPS. I'm slowly getting the hang of it, but I do like it. Different mindset from Destiny and Halo but fun. Looking forward to partying up with some friends since I'm mostly playing it in solo.

Coming from someone who's only played AC 1 and the 2 trilogy, I've given the newer AC formula games a try and just could not get into them. They're just too big with too many distractions.

I'm definitely interested in playing this if it's finally fixed, and if they do the same to Syndicate and other older titles, I may find myself playing AC again. Mirage worth playing as an OG AC fan?

Now the question is, do I get it on PC and see how my 3090 performs or just play it safe with my PS5 Pro

@Afroducc they bulk up for development, make the push for release. Everyone got their bonus checks, then layoffs. The gaming circle of life.

Now I never thought how Sony was releasing games on PC hurt the PlayStation brand. The games always came out a year or so later. Most of the time the games were free on PS+ for subscribers on console, so there couldn't have been many people who were holding out and only buying on PC as PS owners. Now was the cost of porting worth the return, clearly not.

With the PS Handheld coming, would they want to scale back so their exclusives are only available on their portable and not SteamDeck and other PC handhelds? Maybe?

I'd be curious how much of those sales were from people who bought the game on both PS and PC. I'll admit, I picked up all the PS4 games that came to PC because it was such a upgrade and a great way to replay them, but now the gap isn't as big between PS5Pro and PC (or at least my rig)

Trying to look at this device through a "casual gamer" lense and I don't understand who would jump on this. I think more and more gamers are moving to PS5 and even if this is better than pro, when Sony releases the 6 it will likely be cheaper than this at launch and higher spec'd with a greater offering of games.

If Xbox is announcing this now maybe they're hoping to market it as the best console to play GTA6, but PS5 might still be a better investment in 2026 to play that.

I think we're all winners this month, and probably March as well. Another stacked month coming. I have a feeling 2026 might go down as one of the best years in gaming. It might be the best of this console generation.

"Cautiously optimistic" sums up everyones feelings about this game on console

What game will last longer? 4Loop or Online Horizon PS5 ?

Played it on Steam Deck. Highly recommend. Twin Stick shooter mixed with Link to the Past. It's a good time.

Finishing up my first ever playthrough of BotW. It finally stuck with me this time around. Still unsure what to play after though. Might play a smaller indie game or two before finally starting up yotei or keep chipping away at the backlog.

I've also been playing LeafGreen before bed which has been pretty comforting, even though I'm not the biggest Pokemon fan, but I do have some nostalgia for the first couple gens.

@Oram77 More like a Crimson Flag.....

I'll see myself out.

Do we know how this game is performing on consoles or has all of this gameplay footage been on PC?

Is it me or does Capcom need to stop showing things for this game. It really didn't need to be in this Showcase. How much more can they reveal?

@Shizzlebob19 New Castlevania and Megaman announced in the last 60 days

I thought it was a solid showcase. Kena sequel was a nice start before giving us updates on games we've been hearing about non-stop for the last 6 months (Capcom and Yotei Legends). DS2 PC release, whatever. Some underwhelming announcments. Control 2, while cool, skeptical about performance. People forget how Control 1 was a mess at launch. Almost unplayable. The steroid chicken game I don't understand what the gameplay experience is supposed to be. Is it like dynasty warriors? Galactic Racer looks better than GA reveal. Konami showcase was a big deal. More Castlevania games coming? Gameplay of the GoW trilogy would have really put this over the top. What kind of remake are we getting? They reworking it to be like 2018 GoW? Son of Sparta is not the 2D GoW I was expecting.

So Guerrilla was capable of releasing and supporting this but Naughty Dog couldn't support Factions? Which I would have been more excited to play.

If they were to make a second Avowed, wouldn't that eat into ES6? Fantasy-type 1st person RPG? Let them stick to sci-fi or what @trev666 said, hand them a big IP. Microsoft has a bunch of them now, and Obsidian can make a great game, and it will sell if they have more name recognition on the cover to reach a wider audience.

@1970sGamer Oh please let's hope so. As others commented above, only showing PC gameplay has me extremely nervous for a game marketed by it's visuals and scale. Having Cyberpunk PTSD over here.

There is zero percent chance this is a future PlayStation controller. Seems more like a prototype that they just wanted to patent

Did they not have any open betas for this game? Seems odd none of this came up during internal QA. Can't make a F2P in a vacuum. At the GAs they should have announced the game with an open Beta to start getting feedback. Sure it was still a pretty deflating announcement, but the game could be in a better place today.

@RBMango That's 62% of people that played the game, not of all PSN users

Bouncing between a couple things at the moment. Jedi Survivor on PS5 Pro, FFIX with the mogori mod on PC, and working on some retro achievements in the SNES Mega Man X trilogy.

Perfect weekend to get over a foot of snow. I'll be in gaming hibernation until Tuesday morning.

There's 3 guarantees in life.

Death, taxes, and BG&E2 is still in development

@LikelySatan the Odin 3 has more processing power for a bit more of a price tag. From what I read it performs better than the retropocket 6.

Personally I've been eying the AYN Thor

@danzoEX Borderlands was great on it. Granted it's a less twitchy shooter.

Proud Portal Supporter Here. That is all.

More extensive gameplay showcase would have been better to see for a game that has been in development for this long. Quick clips make me nervous compared to us seeing 10 mins of continuous gameplay.

Shocked they couldn't put together a vertical slice for this showcase.

So Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still cooking? Lol

@twitchtvpat if these low power updates keep coming to games, especially at a higher frequency, you would have to suspect the handheld announcement is imminent.

I think it will be sooner than PS6

So this is how Blue Dragon looks in my brain, but we all know it doesn't look this clean.

I was originally interested in Octopath Traveler 0 until I learned it's the mobile game + content. Some reviews I saw said that visually it's a step back from OT2 since it's a "cheap" or "quick" port of that engine, which is disappointing. I just finished playing DQ1-2 and I imagine it would really not look that great comparatively.

I was curious what the PushSquare comment section had to say but I'm not reading all that.

I'm personally most excited for some newer IP coming out. Who doesn't love the sequels and remakes coming, but this generation could use some more original standouts.

@Ooccoo_Jr @jacko11 to each their own I guess.

I'd hold my breath. I can see this one being shallow at launch and if unsupported fall off.

Anychance of any backdoor deals going on with all the Kepler game announcements because E33 was winning all the awards?

Now we all should know everyone knows what they're winning beforehand right? It's obvious now more than before. If not they would have announced the E33 DLC during the first acceptance speech not knowing if they were going to get another chance.

And Jeff was right, it was tough to top the new KOTOR announcement at the start of the show.

This was my, "who wanted this?" moment of the TGAs

Looked like Bulletstorm without a grappling hook

Looks awesome

Lets take the studio that is good at making "insert genre" game and lets have them for years develop a live service game.

What can go wrong?

Finished Dispatch last night and as someone who enjoyed Tales from the Borderlands and Wolf Among Us it was a great next step in that genre. I was totally fine with it being less gamey and more cinematic. Production value is very high comparatively because of it. I never replayed the Telltale games to test other outcomes, but I can see myself coming back to Dispatch in a couple months. It's like binging a season of your favorite TV show.

@Jey887 That was the one part of this game I was really excited for. Octopath 1 and 2 were great, but between the long playthroughs and the lack of cohesion in the story, I’d always lose momentum and eventually move on to something else.

With the Toriyama art, it would look great with the DQ7 treatment. The world and characters would pop in that remake style. This is the way.

It would be different enough where it can be it's own thing while being true to the original. A HD-2D style is too close to looking like the original, which still looks amazing.

@StitchJones orrrrr be more aware that games are never complete at launch and just wait a month or so for the patches to roll out before picking it up

Say what you will about Destiny 2, but I think it's still the one of the best feeling FPS on the market. As for all the fluff....that's a different story.

@Jey887 completely agree. During the 360/PS3 era I think there was a dip in JRPGs. A lot of good but not great games. Definitely plenty that don't hold up as well today, hence the remasters. Since then I think JRPGs have been trending upwards, if all that culminates in this "3.0" era, I'm for it.

Glad I'm waiting to play this one. In a month or so when I finally get to it, it will be closer to a complete game.

@DennisReynolds don't forget FF14

Looks like a fan-made film I would find on Youtube

If priced right, seems like a great emulation machine. With my steamdeck running emulation station and throw in retro achievements, I have so much fun going back playing old games. Now if I can hot swap that microSD card back and forth between my deck and the steam machine this device has my attention.
