Was already very excited for new Virtua Fighter but this is absolutely brilliant. Story mode looks so great! And Versus mode looks brutal!

One of my most anticipated for 2027 already.

Phew.

@Gamer83 Early in development. Few years yet I reckon.

DAY ZERO!!!!

@AI-Generation It always surprises me how the more expensive versions are ALWAYS the best-selling ones on the PS Store.

@Gabrielmpf What's that got to do with anything? Sony never described them as "antiquated" less than a year ago.

@somnambulance It's a good interview, there is some decent insight in other parts of it.

But yes, a bit like a politician, she answers the question without really answering the question at all.

Wow that pinball minigame looks real fun actually.

@Simu001 I think these days it's for the best to be honest. I know people will say it's always been bad, but it never used to be THIS bad.

@DiggleDog It's a spin-off. There's a story linked above about how they've already said Kratos will return for the next game.

@somnambulance Touche!

@Northern_munkey It wasn't presented that way, though. It made it look like you were getting the full game. That's why they've added this disclaimer.

@AI-Generation I don't think that's true though. Nintendo, for example, is likely still losing money on the Switch 2 even with the raised prices.

@darylb24 Yeah not good

@VenomUK Who's attacking who? If you don't want to buy the game, don't buy it. It's not a big deal.

Keep them as far away from this as possible and let IOI do what it's good at.

@Oram77 Asking the right questions!

@LifeGirl Actually it is. It's sold many millions of copies.

And besides, this Korean MMO is basically its own thing. It's got a good shot in Asian market.

Let's goooooooooooo

This is actually really tough. I went with Stuntman: Hollywood because I actually think that got the biggest reaction from me.

Obviously I expect other games to be “better”, but that’s the one I really jumped up over.

Honestly could have picked several others here though.

I wonder if people go on Nintendo Life and ask Nintendo to stop making Mario and Zelda.

@Swandivetotheasphalt I liked Exoprimal!

That is a bit crazy. Early Access for story games already is a bit icky, but locking it to one platform is mad.

Good use of the Theresa Lorca image.

@Yozora146_ We should put him on the payroll!

I really could sense the huge hype for this one. I think Sony has done a good job quietly building the State of Play brand. Some of the earlier ones were pretty awful compared to what we get now.

Appreciate the transparency, but not ideal. Still looking forward to the game.

@JohnnyShoulder Completely agree, but good they give people the option if they really don't like it.

I WILL be seated.

@AdamNovice That's what we were saying in Slack.

I mean I get it, things leak — but it did kinda rob the moment.

@Americansamurai1 Cory's now Head of Creative at Santa Monica Studio: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/06/cory-barlog-now-head-of-creative-at-god-of-war-dev-guiding-the-long-term-vision-of-the-series

They allude to more Kratos games multiple times in the video, so safe to assume he's planning out what that will be while they work on Laufey.

@Enuo Fairly confident we will encounter ATHENNNNNA.

@AdamNovice Yeah it makes sense. He gets to mentor the different directors and creatively determine where the series goes, without having the day-to-day pressure of being in the director's chair.

@Enuo Haven't had chance to look into it yet, but I believe he's not a fan of Laufey at all. Shocker!

Santa Monica Studio's artists are insane.

@Rich33 Thanks man, really appreciate that!

@mrmartinrohr I wouldn't worry. With the 20 minute God of War demo, whether you think that was the right decision or not, it would have been overkill to show Intergalactic too.

I think they'll show it when Wolverine is out.

@Blauwe_Chimay Sorry yeah, the original game is discounted. The new one comes out next year.

Updated, release date has leaked.

@AI-Generation Yeah, I'm really interested when it's going to release, because the schedule is already stacked. Maybe August?

@wildcat_kickz This will likely have a lot of Anniversary in it so you should be well equipped. I'd definitely recommend picking up the original trilogy if you haven't played it yet! Those Aspyr remasters are decent.

Looks absolutely amazing. So excited for this, just not sure how they're going to squeeze it into a VERY busy release schedule.

I loved Toy Story 3 on the PS3. Never knew I wanted this remaster until now.

I'm very interested.

@Kalime78 It's in the article:

There have been fewer games
The tailend of the PS4 generation saw Sony publishing a high volume of first-party titles, bolstered by supporting initiatives like PSVR and even PlayLink. (Remember that?)

@DadJKP Damage control or some extra context which adds some extra layers to the discussion beyond just "Sony is bad"?

If you read the article you'll have noticed this sentence: "I want to be very clear that I do think the overall quality of Sony’s first-party output has declined throughout the PS5 generation."

Look at that: we can still criticise and look beyond the surface at why this might be happening!

@RBRTMNZ I'm not defending anything, but you do have to take into account the larger context at play.

If there's a smaller volume of software being sold at a higher price, then that's important context that needs to be taken into account.

You can debate the reasons for that and whether it's the right or wrong approach, but there's a bit more to it than "shouldn't have chased live service".

(These numbers would look even worse without Helldivers 2, by the way.)

@1970sGamer It was never going to outsell any of the games on this list physically a month after release.

@Vyse_the_Legend Yes but I can see the ESA's argument about how it'd fundamentally change the entire way those games are made.

@THEBrew Yep, black or white. Added an extra pic.
