These will probably all remain under my radar; there are just way too many games already out or coming soon.

The one exception is Beast of Reincarnation — but I have a feeling it's not going to live up to expectations.

Bit surprised about MLB, but considering the team has largely had the game on autopilot for two full decades, it's not that surprising.

This was the obvious answer, no? It was so persistent, it had to be for a regulatory reason.

A wild sale appears.

These updates might cause me to give it a shot (when on sale).

None at launch. Already have quite the backlog. But 5-8 of those I plan on buying eventually.

Just goes to prove again how popular taste is generally terrible.

It's kind of pointless for consoles not to have exclusives, but I've been waiting for two generations for Xbox to have any exclusives I care about, despite buying both an XB1X and XBSX. I will say, though, that at least the 1X makes for a pretty great 3D Blu-Ray player.

Housemarque peaked with Resogun imo.

@Slayer25c No.

@Krlozgod Yep, see my edited comment.

So many crude and ugly comments here to get a chance to mock and abuse, but I expected nothing less.

And the picture is frankly blasphemous. Like seriously Sammy, on Easter weekend?

But this comment will likely get taken down while leaving all the rest of them up.

Awesome racer, likely my fave of all time. Just realistic enough, just arcadey enough. Amazing weather effects at the time, and cars felt like they do when you actually drive them (as much as that is possible). One of my most played games on PS4, if not the most, and I'm not even a huge racing guy anymore. Such a shame we won't get an updated version with a high frame rate.

I love tactics games, but this looks awful.

Too little gameplay to judge.

To be fair, we have no idea what this studio may or may not have been doing, and their project may have been complete garbage.

VR will never be huge until they solve simulation sickness.

This made me legit angry.

I do spend time in my gaming discord chatting with like-minded gamers — so at least it's still gaming-related. But yeah, gaming is definitely my go-to. Then again, I'm older, so I don't care about chasing trends and such.

I might agree if there were no Pro, but it's just going to start finding its feet this year, and I feel like it easily has another good four years in it. Three minimum.

@WolfyTn Sorry, but that's a terrible take. Rayman has some of the best 2D graphics ever created; they're extremely artistic and gorgeous, and in my opinion timeless and not comparable to old 3D polygonal games at all.

For me it's an A- simply because they didn't announce any real big new game. Otherwise it's an A+ or close to.it. I wish I had more time to play!

Please just get the Williams/Midway arcade games onto a modern console finally...

Essentially been the same game for 20 years; I grew tired of the lack of substantial changes by 2014. If you want a more fun title that actually feels more like you're playing baseball, rather than stiffly swinging and moving awkwardly around, play Suoer Mega Baseball 4 (and build your own players and teams to match the real MLB ones, if you want to do so).

Putting time pressure on things is a huge negative to me. I don't want to have to worry all the time about doing things quickly enough to avoid the zombies coming back even stronger.

COE33 had some great musical moments, but the overworld song really was pretty annoying — so much so that I turned the music off for much of the game.

@MrPeanutbutterz So do I, tbh. Gameplay was also great, just not "the second coming". I'm sure you play plenty of games that are not the second coming but still really good. Again, if you didn't give it enough time, it wasn't going to shine. I wasn't impressed at first.

Thankfully, though, there are so many great games out there, it's not like it's a huge deal if this one wasn't for you!

@MrPeanutbutterz you probably didn't play it long enough. It gets way better after the first few levels, and the story is what makes it so incredible in particular. It's about the most unique story concept I've seen in a long long time, and the payoff happens much later in the game when you realize just how crazy it all is.

It's funny how some people seem to be so upset about the lack of a map in COE33. It was so easy to navigate those levels in my opinion.

@Veritas7Ax Totally agree. I like some balance myself!

@Veritas7Ax I'm concerned about that, as well. Hoping the trailer was more of a shock value attention-grabber and that the whole game will not be like that; I can't imagine it will.

Divinity 1 and 2 didn't play great after BG3 unfortunately, but I'm excited to see what the new one is like.

Two new Tomb Raider games that look AWESOME
Larian's new game
New D&D game
Two new Star Wars games that look promising

Bradley the Badger looks fun
Decrepit looks like King's Field kind of but probably too creepy for me, still pretty cool
New Control game is another very solid game

Follow-ups on Exodus, Phantom Blade, even Lego Batman were all really good
Pretty sure I'm forgetting something

Was a GREAT show for reveals.

@FantasyExplor3r88 (and many others above) Seriously, what?! What show were you watching — no bangers?... just baffled, man.

Best show by far — Keighley even wore DRESS SHOES with his suit, instead of sneakers! Was a way more classy professionally executed show, and speeches were short and sweet.

And the reveals rocked! Blew away any other shows by far. Probably the best collection of reveals since Sony's E3 show in 2016. It's just that much of it was spoiled in advance.

Overall, excellent. And I kind of hated The Game Awards before!

Surprised that people are disappointed. BG3 was a massive hit and frankly incredible. Divinity 3 would be pretty huge news, imo.

@Th3solution Great point on the camera!

Whether we find out through leaks or on the actual day of the show, it's still a fun surprise, whatever turns out to be legit.

Like others on here, I tried the two Divinity games after BG3 (which may be my fave game all time, versus Elden Ring, although I may be influenced somewhat by recency bias), and it did not go well — they started out fine but got tiresome about halfway through, and the character development never really progressed like it did in BG3. That said, hopefully Larian learned a lot of great lessons from their BG3 development, and Divinity 3 turns out as good or better than BG3 (although I doubt it can quite reach that high a bar without the D&D license).

There really is almost no reason to buy a game day one anymore. At this point, especially with my backlog, I'm just waiting for sales and patches for the most part before buying. I might make an exception for a (single player) From game, but that's about it. (Well I guess Nintendo first party titles also, because their games never go on sale and generally are not patched.)

Yikes. Guess they're running out of stuff to offer.

DE used to be stellar, but even Atari 50 has bad audio lag on all platforms. I contacted them directly, and they not only were unaware of it, but they did nothing about it once informed.

$1 is super tempting, but I almost never play the fighters I already own.

I'll take a free racer. I pay for PS Plus for cloud saves; anything else is a bonus.

I remember having a ton of fun with the first two at the time. Happy to see these get ported!

I think it's really unfair to lump Korean and Chinese dev teams in together; they are very different peoples and cultures, and thus far, Korean devs have shown much more mastery over the hardware and have come out with better and less wonky games. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Edit: I hope it's much more than just a boss rush, though!

I might try it again. The massive input lag made it unplayable before. And that was on Pro.

@PuppetMaster Fair points. Perhaps a rephrase — this generation, Sony has released fewer first party games that appeal to me, per year, than PS4 has, which makes it doubly concerning to me that nothing new was announced I can look forward to. I'll try to stay hopeful!

@naruball I think there's fair criticism to be had here, and actually a whole of it to be directed at Sony lately. It can be called whining, but we've all invested our money into a product we want to offer good support, and this gen Sony has been largely dropping the ball.

@ButterySmooth30FPS I'm talking about new announcements. Things to expect going forward on PS5. Are we waiting for PS6 now? We might be.
