They should’ve just released it on Netflix and made it a choose your own adventure, like they did with that black mirror standalone!

Looks really promising! Absolutely fantastic story trailer.

You can do it, Kojima! I believe in you! And when you’re ready to retire, I will wish you well.

Finished the demo. It was… fine. Has some interesting ideas, but not a must play by any means. Environments, at least in the demo, were super boring as well. Meh

Plugging away at Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown on Switch, which is pretty fantastic, and then this evening back to Wukong which is SO GOOD

This looks like Code Vein 2.0. Downloading the demo tonight!

Nothing about this looks exciting, but I’ll definitely try the demo. I thought that way about Stellar Blade too, and boy did that demo make me do a 180, and what an incredible time I had with is on release!
So you never know…

A new Legacy of Kain?!
Bluepoint’s next game?!
Old IP’s we haven’t heard from since PS1 and PS2 days?! 🤞🏼

Call me nuts but Bioshock 2 has always been my favorite. WAY better gameplay and overall just a fun romp, with a solid plot twist. Obviously it wouldn’t exist without the first game, so credit where credit is due. Infinite, on the other hand… I was never a big fan of… so reading these comments by Levine isn’t surprising. Still, very much looking forward to Judas!

Hopefully this hire is not for the upcoming Housemarque release, but the subsequent one. Seems like a reveal would be imminent for the game they’ve been working on for the last 4 years… 🤞🏼

100% willing to state that this remake is astounding. But… I just couldn’t get into it enough to finish, and I loved the original! I don’t know… too much action? Not enough horror?
VIllage on the other hand—three times through!

As price points increase, that’s where the risk lies in folks jumping ship to PC, right? That was the conversation that seemed to come out of the Pro launch, anyways. We’ll see how many of those console gamers put their money where their mouth is and go PC instead of PS6 if it’s deemed too expensive. Personally, the convenience and “ready to play” factor of consoles will always win out for me in the end, but I imagine there are lots of people comfortable enough with computers to go that route, especially if PlayStation exclusives are launching on PC simultaneously.

“Masterpiece” is the right word ☑️ 🏆

Think of the shareholders!!! 😭

That Ninja Gaiden reboot by Game Kitchen… BRING IT ON!
Memories In Orbit sounds cool too 👍🏼

@Porco You’re probably right! 😭

Was Intergalactic not on the list? Could have sworn that I voted for that… bah!
Grand Theft Auto… 🙄

Great to see Black Myth: Wukong get some recognition here, after being mysteriously absent from the staff list lol. I’m playing through it now on my Pro, and what a fantastic game with absolutely beautiful art direction and solid gameplay and exploration—really enjoying it!
But I guess we all agree that Astro Bot is the GOAT for PlayStation: Year 2024!

Not a great reply, given the comment he was responding to. Representation matters, period. Allowing people to see themselves in the games they play, and all literature we consume, is vitally important to building a healthy culture. Folks that say “we don’t need gender or race in games” probably have not experienced gender dismorphia, or racism, or sexism. Yuck…

Happy New Year PushSquare team! Y’all are rockin it; best PlayStation site, hands down. Really happy to be a part of this community. Cheers!

I wish I could get in on the Atlus fun, but I just don’t have the time (or patience) for massive RPG’s like this anymore. Metaphor looks beautiful and sounds interesting; happy for all the folks that have been able to enjoy it.

Team Asobi, for sure. They brought an extremely polished experience that is packed to the brim with fantastic gameplay and so much joy. Most of all, Astrobot has filled a void in PlayStation’s recent catalog; it was very much needed, for new and old PlayStation fans alike. Standing ovation for Team Asobi!

Yep this is correct ☑️ The Silent Hill 2 remake is, in my opinion, better than the original and in my top horror experiences of all time. Correct!

Fantastic game, loved every second of it. Definitely in my top 3, mixed up in a stew with Astrobot and Silent Hill 2…

Gotta play Still Wakes the Deep!!

Personally, I’d put this in my top 3, but really glad to see it make the list. It’s a phenomenal remake; Bloober really knocked it out of the park. I really hope this success leads to a remake for 1 and 3 as well.

Had to take a big break from Rebirth after about 40 hours; it feels very overstuffed to me. I adore the original, but yeah, it’s all a bit much. Also some of it is just soooooo corny… Still a great game though, which I do plan on finishing. But so many games I’d put above Rebirth this year… Astrobot, Stellar Blade, Wukong, Animal Well, Silent Hill 2… and I haven’t played any of the other big JRPGs, so there’s those too. #7 seems correct.

No love for Animal Well? 🙄

The Silent Hill 2 remake is utterly fantastic, and is my number one as well. Beautifully disturbing and filled with amazing detail and visceral combat, it is a must-play for horror fans. Bloober did it, indeed!

Is “none of them” an option? No?
I’ll see my way out…

I’d go Silent Hill 2 or Wukong, from what I’ve played. I know Atlus is killing it in the art dept, though
@Gremio108 @Tchunga Animal Well is something special! The atmosphere and overall vibe are next level. That title music alone!

I haven’t played DD2 yet, but I find it hard to believe that its better than both Wukong and Stellar Blade, two INCREDIBLE action games… I guess I need to give it a go, but man I’m just so tired of medieval fantasy…

Animal Well is an absolute banger, which blew me away throughout its entirety.

Wukong on my Pro until we leave to see the family, but bringing my Switch so finally jumping into Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, with a few sessions of the EXCELLENT Shogun Showdown

Anyone who’s played this know if the Pro patch is live yet? I bought this at launch to support the dev and haven’t gotten to it yet, hoping to jump in once the patch is confirmed

This will be a MONSTER hit!
I’ve played a bit of Monster Hunter, certainly not a huge fan, but dang does this look good.m every time I see footage. 60 fps and day one Pro patch is all I needed to hear!

Some killer apps coming in 2025, but Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is my numero uno!

Just started Wukong this weekend, and having lots of fun. But I think I will plan to have less fun next time because of this man’s tears.😭

1) Astrobot
2) Silent Hill 2
3) Stellar Blade
4) Black Myth: Wukong
5) Animal Well
Honorable mention… Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Playing for the first time on a Pro with 120hz TV in performance mode, and the game plays super smooth, no input lag that I can detect, and looks fantastic. The balanced mode looks nice, but plays like stop-motion animation. So… performance all the way!

Hard pass on this one, but I appreciate what they’re trying to do here, in terms of taking the co-op experience to its logical conclusion. But this is clearly about the combat, and missing the exploration and mystery that I look to From to experience. I really hope that we get a new IP or something a bit more innovative for the next release. Elden Ring was great, but I’m ready for something new that’s not Souls 2.0.

My physical showing up tomorrow; perfect timing! I’ll be going for performance over graphics, so skipping the PSSR and hoping that the Pro delivers a solid >30fps framerate🤞🏼

Intergalactic, for sure, but that Ninja Gaiden game looks REAL GOOD! Project Robot is also clearly one to watch! And an Onimusha roboot. And an Okami sequel?! And Witcher 4… Exciting stuff!

YES!!!! Goosebumps!!! This looks amazing—exactly what I was hoping for—sci-fi! Awesome trailer; fantastic music, little easter eggs, and the setup for a great mystery. And Kumail! Just WOW! Cannot wait!

Game of the show right here! Holy sh*t!!
These guys know how to make a game ☑️

@jorel262 Yeah… maybe by then we’ll actually get the copies we ordered. Ugh!

I would love an option to play with the original graphics. You can tell it’s lovingly done, but the remastered graphics look a bit cartoonty to me, and take away some of the grittiness, I think… Still glad it’s coming though!

Got my PlayStation as a youngster when it first came out. I have particularly fond memories of Resident Evil 1 & 2, Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal, Tekken… man I’m sure I could go on and on. What an absolutely AMAZING system! Seriously good times!

I hope the DLC is standalone, maybe playing as a different character entirely. That could allow them to try out some interesting new mechanics. Either way though, I’m gettin’ it! Loved Lies of P!

Wow more options… 😳 The sheer amount of choice in this game is awesome, but can also be really overwhelming. There were moments in my (unfinished) play through where I was able to say, “f*** it!” and just roll with something—like when two of my companions fought and I had to choose sides and then one was killed permanently! Other times, I felt so totally frozen and unable to continue playing because it was just all too much—and then, shocker, I stopped playing completely. Amazing game though!
