@sanderson72 Was just about to say that, no word on microtransactions but going in you should expect a hefty dose of these anywhere you look.

The Last of Us mobile game confirmed???

@Skeletor85 What is wrong with the Dark Forces Remaster? Genuinely interested, I have it in my wishlist for the (eventual) nostalgia trip.

I'm not usually a fan of survival horror games but this one looks interesting.

Ah yes, as I predicted a few weeks ago. "Due to an outpour of support from our fans, we will now charge you for a DLC which should have been in the game from the beginning." Atlus has once again proven that Persona games are ripe for further monetization, be it remakes or original entries (see: P5 Royal on PS5 with no upgrade path for existing players).

"Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer."

Glad to see Wayne June returned for the sequel, his Narrator gives Darkest Dungeon a unique and memorable feel.

@XenonKnight About $1,200 based on a quick search.

"To my health, and death to the others!"

Loved GreedFall and the DLC, platinumed it two times on PS4 and PS5. Really looking forward to the sequel/prequel.

The only game I was really hoping would show up on PlayStation, and here we are. Sounds right up my alley.

Now that we know the release date, I wonder if I should wait until the supposed PS5 Pro release at the end of 2024 to continue playing Elden Ring and the DLC. The framerate on non-VRR TVs can be choppy (or at least noticeably non-60 FPS) in open areas and I suspect that the added juice PS5 Pro is supposed to have may make a difference in smoothing the framerate out.

Yes, looking forward to playing Pentiment on PS5.

That the review mentions a 20-hour romp does not bode well for the live-service aspects of the game where Ubisoft would like us to engage with the game all the time.

This reads like a slightly above average single player offering where battle passes and seasons were tacked on to recoup as much investment from the prolonged development cycle as possible from the few players who decide to bite long-term.

I really hope that the trailer contains the DLC's release date and that it's soon (March 2024?). My body is ready to continue journeying The Lands Between.

So let me get this straight:

Two weeks ago: "Microsoft is getting out of the console business and we're getting Gears of War and Starfield on PlayStation. Trust me, bro!"

Yesterday: "Microsoft is briging four indie games to PlayStation."

Ah well, YouTubers and media outlets got their clicks and the rest of us can move right along. I am excited for Pentiment coming to PlayStation, though.

CONCEPTUALIZATION [Challenging: Success] - Maybe another studio can get inspired by Disco Elysium and create an incredibly well-written, thought-provoking and mature single-player experience like that set in a quasi-real world. It will take chutzpah but the precedent has been set.

Oh no, another relationship tester inbound.

Every time I read about a new Baldur's Gate 3, I am reminded that I still didn't buy the game but still wondering if the game can be even more polished by the time I finally decide to go for it.

One of the games I voted for in the recent Push Square poll on which Microsoft games I'd like to see on PS5. Glad it's at least being considered.

Naughty Dog has only released Uncharted and The Last of Us games since 2007, it would be nice if we got a completely new IP.

I'll watch that anime if they decide to release it.

Bloodborne remake/remaster confirmed?

Just kidding, just kidding but the tears are real.

I would love to play Pentiment and Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II on PS5.

@DaveHero75 Looks like the PS5 version for preorder on PS Store will contain both PS4 and PS5 versions even if it's listed only for PS5.

Six months down the line: "We heard our fans who wanted more content in Persona 3 and are developing an extended version."

The (sad) point that shook me from what I already watched was how some people sent death threats to Laura Bailey and her newborn son because she portrayed Abby in the game. This is some peak mental/criminal behavior right there.

Too bad, the trailer made it look like the game has slight Observer vibes and I always like me some Observer vibes. Unfortunately it looks like I won't be bothering with this one anytime soon.

Not sure if the best way to sell people on your game is to repeat the same walk to the same area multiple times, that kills the excitement for me.

I suspect that the PS4 platinum trophy name is misspelled. In the article:
A Solider's Purpose

Should be:
A Soldier's Purpose

@MrSensical I tend to agree, played and finished both Spirit Hunter: Death Mark and Spirit Hunter: NG recently and while they are not exactly in the same vein as Danganronpa, they deserve more praise and attention from the visual novel crowd on PlayStation.

@ear_wig Coincidence? I think not!

I was debating upgrading from Essential to Extra once my current subscription runs out but with the price hike, I think I'll stay where I am now or drop the subscription completely. It's mostly not worth it for me, and I recently realized I haven't played any of the Essential games for years.

@Loamy Thank you for the info, I am really tempted, don't get me wrong.

I'm still wondering when the best time to get this game is since it still receives patches and improvements. I'm thinking of biting the bullet during the upcoming Black Friday sale but then my backlog is enormous and I can wait if it means an even more polished experience. Decisions, decisions...

@Bunchesopuppies I'm OK with a horror-based walking simulator personally, not every game has to be a Souls-like or rogue-lite to get on my radar. A tight, short single-player experience is, in fact, just what the doctor ordered.

@PegasusActual93 Right on, I didn't realize 3D Realms is associated with Ghostrunner. Great game, that one.

Man, that doesn't look that great, it seems to me that the combat doesn't have any kind of punch and I'm mostly looking at numbers floating on the screen and health bars getting depleted. Plus the voice acting is a bit stilted.

I wish this was an action RPG instead of a Souls-like. not every game benefits from these mechanics and I'd rather play a solid action than getting frustrated with being put to the nearest checkpoint.

3D Realms, now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

All I can think of when reading the decription was:

Go on...

And then it went on and on and on, and I didn't mind it at all.

I remember a few years ago when Ubisoft asked fans which historic periods they would like to see Assassin's Creed games being set in, and someone from Ubisoft then complained that getting an AC game set in Japan or WWII as fans had asked is not viable.

And here we go: we could be getting a Japanese-period AC game soon. Makes me wonder if a WWII game is at least being considered now inside Ubisoft, seeing as it is apparently viable to set an AC game in Japan.

Jeez, that's sure going to be popular.

Permadeath, (presumably) live-service, multiplayer — pick zero to make a fun game.

Another painful reminder that Gravity Rush didn't deserve its no-sequel-after-2 fate and should really be brought back.

@LazyLombax That would make sense, considering the Deluxe Edition has Expansion Pass listed as one of the features. Thank you.

One step above shovelware, many steps below anything remotely fun to play, it seems like.

@Beerheadgamer82 I can imagine at least 4 NG+-related trophies could get added later: finish the game in NG+, finish the game in NG+ on the hardest difficulty are the two safe ones to guess.

Spider-Man Remastered on PS5 added the Remastered Trophies DLC list which Insomniac can get inspired by: Achieve the highest rating in a challenge (I assume Spider-Man 2 will have open-world challenges again) and maybe achieve of certain combo multiplier?

All speculation on my part, obviously, but I wouldn't be surprised if we got more than the obligatory 2 NG+ trophies this time.

While I am not a fan of sports games, it looks to me like the ultimate loser here is the FIFA board. EA has apparently been doing great without them in terms of sales and based on the non-existence of any officially sanctioned competing football game, that's plenty of money FIFA lost this year and every year going forward.

I will eventually get the game and the platinum, I'm just wondering if Remedy is planning to release any DLC for Alan Wake 2 which may add new trophies later. If so, I'd rather wait for a sale on the complete edition.

@TheCollector316 Ah. I know I was missing something here, sorry. Makes complete sense not to have Call of Duty in the trailer, then.

I see the new Call of Duty is no longer part of the select few, or are these PlayStation-exclusive titles only? If so, my apologies.

We'll see in 10 years when the agreement Microsoft had with Sony around releasing Call of Duty on PlayStation expires. That's when I suspect the true face of Microsoft, with no obligation to deliver content or even new Call of Duty installments on PS, will be revealed.

This looks like The Dark Pictures Anthology entry which I don't mind at all. If it ends up being good, I may bite later.
