I tried getting into Warframe a few years ago, but I had absolutely no idea what was going on with the story. Appreciate how Digital Extremes goes about their business though.

I generally prefer stories that are told chronologically and don't jump around. The chronological mode worked wonders for Beyond Two Souls in my opinion, and I'm looking forward to playing through TLoU 2 again now.

@get2sammyb I'm the rare type that actually prefers expansions that are woven into the main game for a more seamless experience. But I'll still be picking this up because Rogue City was such an unexpected joy to play through.

The story was retconned? Yikes.

My physical copy arrived yesterday - earlier than expected - and the game is absolutely gorgeous on PS5 pro. Credit to SIE for getting the whole thing on disc.

Yeah, that quote probably could've been split up into two sentences.

@Hypoman Yeah, I'm planning on getting that. But it just annoys me how little R6 Siege resembles Rainbow Six of old, with it's mission briefings, intricate planning, and team management.

Great, can we get a realistic first person Rainbow Six next?

Can't wait to play this on Thursday. Also, what s great thumbnail 🤣

@LogicStrikesAgain I think the issue is that SIE doesn't want to make two SKUs for the set - one digital, one physical - because if it just had the game on disc, owners of the digital PS5 wouldn't be able to play the game. It's still annoying though, for $250 you really do expect the disc to be included.

Wasn't this supposedly an issue with FF16 for some players? Anyway, I played through that game with no issues on a base disc PS5, and hopefully no issues arise when I finally get to play DS2 on my Pro this Thursday.

How's the photo mode? I've seen no mention of it in any reviews even though it made waves at that show last year.

Has the campaign been properly balanced yet?

@wildcat_kickz I actually liked Mafia III though many did not. Being able to take out kkk members was extremely satisfying.

This is welcome news. It always bothered me that Ninja Theory only made a Series X version and not a PS5, even though PS4 players helped that game reach one million copies sold.

Don't settle for streaming. Implicit Conversions is ready to go - put them to work, PlayStation.

I've learned more about Pragmata from this article than anything Capcom has shown since it was revealed five years ago. I didn't even know the protagonist's name is Hugh.

I really need someone, maybe a Jason Schreier type or whatever, to do an exposé about how these slop games sometimes even get promoted by PlayStation. I'm thinking of Life of Black Tiger, Flowers are Dead, and of course, Abandoned.

Third person mode or at least conversations would be great, won't happen though of course.

Such a shame we're not getting a Dead Space 2 remake.

Thank the Lord it is not strictly 1st person. Hopefully Grace is more of a character than no-face Ethan Winters.

Forza Horizon, Gears of War, and possibly Halo on PS5 before Starfield is wild.

It's basically an Xbox branded ROG Ally, and PlayStation's PC games already run on those.

Has Sony raised the price of the first party games to $80? I thought that was just Nintendo.

I really don't want to hear "mind -bending", because it immediately reminds me of Black Ops III, and that's not a good thing.

Odd that there was no Starfield PS5 announcement, what with all of the reports of it's release this year.

@crackeastwood And on top of that, it was actually Take 2 who made the first move by saying NBA 2K21 would be $70

I really liked Innocence, but not did not like how Amicia's accent changed from French to English in Requiem.

I too thought this was Playdead's next game. Actually, I was hoping it was a sequel to Inside.

Was that twitter user comparing MindsEye to ME Andromeda gameplay wise, or performance wise?

Finally, the definitive version of RE3 will be playable on PS5.

Maybe Deep Down will get a surprise re-announcement.

A third person mode would be nice, or at least third person conversations

I'm still waiting for an apology for the Aliens: Colonial Marines disaster.

Is this the game with Captain America that was shown off a year or two ago?

It was a nice incentive/excuse to buy games digitally, so I'm disappointed to see it go.

It's got to be Uncharted or TLoU related. I highly doubt Naughty Dog would have two new IP in development at the same time.

So excited for this, hopefully Part 2 follows close behind.

Over ten years ago, Insomniac decided to go it alone, partnered with EA to make....Fuse....then partnered with Microsoft to make Sunset Overdrive, and then finally came back and was acquired by Sony.

I finally got around to finishing season 1, and it left a lot to be desired for me personally. The overall story is the same, but so many sequences were truncated or cut out completely. The frantic run through Bill's town/Lincoln, Joel and Ellie's battle with David's men in the UEC science lab, and the amazing tunnel sequence in Salt Lake City to name a few. I haven't watched season 2 yet, but if it's anything like season 1, I'll probably be disappointed.

@DennisReynolds Careful, some of these commenters seem to get bent out of shape if you make comparisons to Florida.

@Faraz27 I realize it's not a 1:1 recreation, I've played every modern GTA game. I was just noting how the rest of the trailer looks very much like Florida except for that one area. As I said at the end of my comment, the game looks incredible.

I have to say that nowhere in the real Florida will you find anything resembling Mount Kalaga, as the state is extremely flat. But everything else looks on point and the game looks absolutely incredible.

I wouldn't mind if they sold the campaign separately for $30 or so, as that's all I've ever been interested in, and there's no way I'm paying $70-80+ for one game mode that typically lasts about 6 or so hours.

Isn't Balatro a card game? I don't like card games.

I meant that Bethesda/Activision games would've been on PlayStation as usual had Microsoft not purchased them.

More like Bethesda, who is already used to developing on PlayStation, makes PS5 Pro the best place to play Indiana Jones.

I find it hard to be upset about this because both games have been discounted at various points since release, so if you wanted either one you could've got them for less. But Nintendo is still selling Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey - 2017 Switch launch games - for 59.99 in the US, and no one ever seems bat an eye.

I already played through large portions of it on my Portal, thank you very much.

@JuiceboxMeister Yeah it's unfortunate that we never got see it. When you think about it, Deep Down and Pragmata have a lot of similarities - both were announced around the time of the PS4/PS5 announcements and, in the case of Deep Down, never materialized. Hopefully Pragmata resurfaces though.
