There definitely has to be something else first-party releasing this year (other than GoW). We don't know when Ragnarok is releasing but most people would say, at the earliest, September.
I wouldn't be surprised if we got a Last of Us Part II Director's Cut or Factions.
Also, while the Silent Hill rumor is far-fetched, I'm hoping it's true.
The only pop-in I noticed on PS5 is when the game transitions from a cutscene back to a playable segment. Character models or machines will pop-in a second later.
@nessisonett If that’s the case, it should be rated AO and be banned from all consoles, but this is an M rated game that is supposedly coming to Xbox unedited.
This doesn't excite me all that much since I primarily play single player games.
That being said live service games can work well, but they need to be done correctly right out of the gate otherwise they risk falling flat on their face. (i.e. Anthem, Battlefield 2042)
Same. Survival horror is my absolute favorite genre, so when I see a new survival horror game, I get excited.
Unfortunately, I've been disappointed multiple times by projects like these that either 1) never end up releasing or 2) release but in a buggy state and are basically a shell of a game.
Kind of odd that they're doing a GT-only SoP when we have a bunch of stuff rumored to release in the next month or so (Cyberpunk on PS5, Ghostwire Tokyo, GTA V PS5, etc.).
RE 7 is hands down my favorite of the series. I know a lot of people were put off by the first-person perspective but I think it really helped the game shine as a claustrophobic, in-your-face survival horror game. You felt underpowered and vulnerable the whole time and the Louisiana swamp setting really made the experience all that much better.
I really liked RE Village, but 7 will always be remembered as the return to horror the series so desperately needed.
These days when I think of Ubisoft I think of two things: Rayman (which I love) and bland 3rd person, open world games that all feel and look the same.
Horizon, Uncharted, God of War, Ratchet & Clank, Spider-Man, The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Infamous, Killzone, Sly Cooper, etc... Sony has a large and varied collection of IP under their sleeve.
The question is what should they do going forward?
First, strengthen your partnerships with Japanese publishers like Square, Capcom, and Bandai.
Second, establish new studios (which I realize takes time) to develop new IPs. These IPs should focus on genres that Sony's 1st party offerings currently don't cover: first person shooters, survival horror, etc.

This will definitely scratch my "Titans" itch.
Re: State of Play Confirmed, Showcasing Third Party PS5, PS4 Games
Resident Evil 4 Remake incoming.
Re: Forspoken Delayed from May to October 2022 on PS5
One of my most anticipated releases of the year. Glad they are taking their time with it though.

Re: GTA 5 on PS5 Features Three Visual Modes, Faster Loading, Enhanced Graphics, Much More
My opinion of GTA V at this point... Meh.
Re: PS5, PS4 Live Service Game Babylon's Fall Doesn't Look Good
@Enuo
Weird take considering it averaged an 87/100 on Metacritic.
Re: Free Haven Update Lets You Choose Same-Sex Couples, Out Now on PS5, PS4
Love it!
Might be picking up this game soon.
Re: GRID Legends (PS5) - A Solid Racer with a Lacklustre Narrative
@naruball
Yeah 7/10, to me anyway, has always meant a game was good. But lately I feel like people think anything below an 8 is bad.
Re: PS5, PS4 Rumourmongers Reckon a Sony Showcase Is Coming in March
@KnightRider1982
On a scale of 1-10?
Negative 8 out of 10.
Re: GRID Legends Looks Like the Yin to Gran Turismo 7's Yang in Launch Trailer
I'm definitely more of a kart racing fan.
Re: The Quarry Could Be the Next Game from Until Dawn Dev
@WCB House of Ashes is the best one of the anthology... I think you'll really like it!
Re: The Quarry Could Be the Next Game from Until Dawn Dev
Would love to get a proper survival horror game from Supermassive.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West's PS5, PS4 Visual Issues a High Priority, Patch Incoming ASAP
The only pop-in I noticed on PS5 is when the game transitions from a cutscene back to a playable segment. Character models or machines will pop-in a second later.

Looks pretty good.
Now what's the release date and will there be a physical copy?
Re: Capcom Countdown Teases Reveal for Next Week
Hopefully Resident Evil 4 remake!
Re: Distressing Horror Martha Is Dead Censored on PS5, PS4

What the $&?@ gives Sony?
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil 4 Remake Making Changes, Announcement Could Be Soon
A more horror-focused RE4 would be awesome.
I’m totally here for this

Re: Sifu Physical Version Spotted for PS5 and PS4, Out in May
@dschons
I'm with you there. Typically people that like physical media prefer uniformity when it comes to their collection.
Re: PS5's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Has Allegedly Been Delayed Until 2023
I’m more excited for Gotham Knights, tbh.
Re: PS5 Console Exclusive Ghostwire: Tokyo Confirmed for March 2022
Very excited for this but also incredibly SAD we will lose Tango Gameworks games on PS after this… The Evil Within series was awesome
Re: Battlefield 2042 Delays First Season on PS5, PS4 to Add Key Features, Like a Refined Scoreboard
This is basically ANTHEM 2.0
Re: PlayStation Boss Jim Ryan Says You Should Expect More Acquisitions
Remedy, DONTNOD, Bloober Team, IO Interactive, Kojima Productions, Quantic Dream???
Re: PlayStation Studios Is Developing 'Several' Live Service Games
This doesn't excite me all that much since I primarily play single player games.
That being said live service games can work well, but they need to be done correctly right out of the gate otherwise they risk falling flat on their face. (i.e. Anthem, Battlefield 2042)

I smell a flop.
Anybody remember Agony on PS4? lol

Kind of odd that they're doing a GT-only SoP when we have a bunch of stuff rumored to release in the next month or so (Cyberpunk on PS5, Ghostwire Tokyo, GTA V PS5, etc.).
Re: Possible Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 Cover Spotted on PlayStation Servers, News Could Be Incoming
I'm curious to see if this will get a physical release on PS5/XBX.
I guess we'll see soon enough.
Re: Mortal Kombat 12 Seemingly Confirmed in Staged Social Media Snap
We need Injustice 3 first.
Re: Hyper Scape, Ubisoft's Battle Royale Flop, Is Being Switched Off
Every time I hear about a Ubisoft flop I think of that one E3 press conference that was ruined by "Mr. Caffeine".
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Goes Gold on PS5, PS4 Ahead of February Release Date
All I need is 60 FPS.
Re: Unsurprisingly, Life Is Strange PS4's Remaster for PS4 Looks Familiar
@ZeroAbbadon I just checked the PS Store and I only see a PS4 version.
Re: Kao the Kangaroo Is Bouncing Back in PS5, PS4 Reboot
@Kaizen753 Hell yeah. I second that!
Re: Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection's PS5 Trophies Are a Complete Bust
Never gave a d**n about trophies. I play games for the experience.
Re: Kao the Kangaroo Is Bouncing Back in PS5, PS4 Reboot
Looks cool and I'm happy to see a native PS5 release.
Re: Unsurprisingly, Life Is Strange PS4's Remaster for PS4 Looks Familiar
Totally dropped the ball in not having a remaster for PS5/XBX as well.
Re: It's Happening! Anticipated PS5, PS4 Action RPG Elden Ring Goes Gold
I royally suck at FromSoft games, so I will be getting Horizon, but Elden Ring looks really cool and I might pick it up later in the year.

Re: EA Is the Next Major Publisher Tipped for a Takeover
IMO, Sony should focus on acquiring individual studios rather than publishers.
Remedy, Supermassive, Bungie, Quantic Dream, etc…
And as I said in another comment, revive/reboot some of your older IP.
Re: Don't Worry, Harry Potter Fans! Warner Bros Brazil Says Hogwarts Legacy Is Coming in 2022

Re: Poll: Would You Still Buy PlayStation Consoles Without Activision Blizzard Games?
@hanoka That would be nothing short of awesome.
If not, I do think Sony could either revive some of their old horror IP (Siren?) or develop a new franchise.
Re: Poll: Would You Still Buy PlayStation Consoles Without Activision Blizzard Games?
Definitely...no question.
Horizon, Uncharted, God of War, Ratchet & Clank, Spider-Man, The Last of Us, Ghost of Tsushima, Infamous, Killzone, Sly Cooper, etc... Sony has a large and varied collection of IP under their sleeve.

Re: Will Call of Duty and Other Activision Blizzard Games Come to PS5, PS4?
Other than COD, I really don't play much Activision stuff, but this still is not good.
MS better keep their hands off Square Enix, Capcom, Warner Bros., etc.
