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.
@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.
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.
@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.
I've been looking forward to this for awhile. I like police sims but prefer something more gamey and story oriented, so I'll definitely picking this up. Glad it finally has a release date.
If there's an in game reason for it, and the devs are passionate about it then I can respect this. But I feel like too many games are forcing the use of a compass instead of letting the player toggle a mini map or compass. This gets annoying because too often games - Ghost of Tsushima and Assassin's Creed Odyssey/Origins come to mind - will give you a search area for a quest, but because you only have a compass, it isn't clear where the boundaries of this search area are, so you can spend a lot of time just trying to gauge where you're supposed to be looking. Again, it seems like Sandfall have put much thought into it, but overall I'd prefer if devs just let the player toggle a mini map or compass.
I played it for around 125 hours on Series X and absolutely loved it at first. But then I began to realize how tedious planetary exploration was, how locations were copy and pasted, and just how segmented the game world was. Still, overall I had a good time with the game, and would love to revisit it on PS5 with all of the new features and quality of life enhancements.
@batosaims I never said I was bitter about anything, I was just stating a fact. Much has been made about "Microsoft published" games releasing on PlayStation, but many of them are Bethesda and Activision games that would've been on the console anyway.
Part of the reason why the later Silent Hill games were so poor was because Konami contracted random developers like Double Helix Games and Vatra Games to make them.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem Playable in 1st and 3rd Person, New Screenshots
Thank the Lord it is not strictly 1st person. Hopefully Grace is more of a character than no-face Ethan Winters.
Re: Rumour: Data Miner Claims to Have Found Evidence of Halo on PS Store
Forza Horizon, Gears of War, and possibly Halo on PS5 before Starfield is wild.
Re: Yep, PlayStation's PC Games Will Be Playable on Xbox's New Handheld System
It's basically an Xbox branded ROG Ally, and PlayStation's PC games already run on those.
Re: 'Good Luck with That' - The Outer Worlds 2 $80 Price Has Gone Down Horribly with PS5 Players
Has Sony raised the price of the first party games to $80? I thought that was just Nintendo.
Re: Black Ops 7 Will Be the 'Most Mind-Bending' Call of Duty Ever on PS5, PS4
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.
Re: Xbox Teases More Forza for 2026, and the 'Return of a Classic'
Odd that there was no Starfield PS5 announcement, what with all of the reports of it's release this year.
Re: The Outer Worlds 2 Is an $80 Game on PS5, as Xbox Continues to Push Game Pass
@crackeastwood And on top of that, it was actually Take 2 who made the first move by saying NBA 2K21 would be $70
Re: Third Plague Tale Game Leaks Ahead of Xbox Show, Out for PS5 in 2026
I really liked Innocence, but not did not like how Amicia's accent changed from French to English in Requiem.
Re: End of Abyss May Fool You into Thinking It's the Next PS5 Game from Playdead
I too thought this was Playdead's next game. Actually, I was hoping it was a sequel to Inside.
Re: First MindsEye PS5 Copies Leak, Dev Stresses to Wait for Day 1 Patch
Was that twitter user comparing MindsEye to ME Andromeda gameplay wise, or performance wise?
Re: PS Plus Premium Games for June and July 2025 Confirmed, Resident Evil 2, 3 This Summer
Finally, the definitive version of RE3 will be playable on PS5.
Re: What Time Is PlayStation's State of Play for June 2025?
Maybe Deep Down will get a surprise re-announcement.
Re: Rumour: New Cyberpunk 2077 DLC Is Incoming, Developer Leak Suggests
A third person mode would be nice, or at least third person conversations
Re: Borderlands 4 Boss Writes Grovelling Apology for Implying 'Real Fans' Will Pay $80 for PS5 Game
I'm still waiting for an apology for the Aliens: Colonial Marines disaster.
Re: EA's Black Panther Game Cancelled, Studio Shut Down
Is this the game with Captain America that was shown off a year or two ago?
Re: Poll: Do You Care About the Death of PlayStation Stars?
It was a nice incentive/excuse to buy games digitally, so I'm disappointed to see it go.
Re: Neil Druckmann Confirms Involvement in Second Unannounced Naughty Dog Project
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.
Re: Point-and-Click Classic Syberia Gets a PS5 Remaster, Out This Year
So excited for this, hopefully Part 2 follows close behind.
Re: Helldivers 2 Dev Breaks Away from PlayStation, Next Game Will Be Self-Funded

Re: GTA 6's PS5 Open World Looks Like Rockstar's Best Ever
@DennisReynolds Careful, some of these commenters seem to get bent out of shape if you make comparisons to Florida.

Re: Concern Call of Duty Could Be About to Paywall Gameplay Modes
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.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for May 2025?
Isn't Balatro a card game? I don't like card games.
Re: Rumour: Oblivion PS5 Remake Releasing Next Month Appears More and More Likely
I meant that Bethesda/Activision games would've been on PlayStation as usual had Microsoft not purchased them.
Re: Microsoft Makes PS5 Pro the Best Place to Play Indiana Jones
More like Bethesda, who is already used to developing on PlayStation, makes PS5 Pro the best place to play Indiana Jones.
Re: The Last of Us Complete Out Today at $99.99 on PS5, Physical Collector's Edition Drops in July
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.

Re: You'll Be Able to Transfer Your Cyberpunk 2077 Progress from PS5 to Switch 2
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.
Re: Age Ratings Suggest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and 3 Remasters Heading for PS5
It's about time, honestly. It never made sense for Activision to remaster MW 1&2 but not 3.
Re: Oblivion PS5 Remake Rumours Are Relentless, Claims of April Shadow Drop
Next Jeff Grubb will be saying Pragmata and Deep Down are releasing next month as timed PS5 exclusives
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Teasing Something, But No One Knows What
@Oram77 Exactly my point 😂
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Is Teasing Something, But No One Knows What
It's probably a board game that they're teasing.
Re: The Weapon Durability Debate Is Back with PS5 Action RPG Blades of Fire
The weapon durability system was one of the many reasons I stopped playing Breath of the Wild.
Re: PS5 vs Switch 2: Full Tech Specs Comparison
You guys should do a game price comparison next.
Re: PS5 Exclusive Ghost of Yotei Still on Track for 2025 Release
I'm thinking July, just like Tsushima five years ago.
Re: Preview: Being the Good Guy Is Fun for Once in Classic GTA Police Sim The Precinct on PS5
I've been looking forward to this for awhile. I like police sims but prefer something more gamey and story oriented, so I'll definitely picking this up. Glad it finally has a release date.
Re: Killzone Remasters Would Be Cool, Says Series Composer, and We Completely Agree
I think a reimagining of Killzone would be great - there is so much lore that Guerrilla created that was just left out of the games.

Re: Classic GTA Meets DHL in Deliver At All Costs, Out in May on PS5
The camera perspective kind of reminds me of The Precinct. Wonder what happened to that game?

Re: In a Sea of Live Service Disasters, Rainbow Six Siege Plans 10 More Years with Its Biggest PS5 Revamp Yet
Would've been nice to see a campaign added, preferably something closer to older titles. I tried Siege a few years ago and just couldn't get into it.
Re: Rumour: Oblivion PS5 Remake Is Out Soon, Possibly Even Next Month
A huge month for Bethesda on PS5, as was usually the case before a trillion dollar corporation purchased them outright.
Re: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Imminent on PS5 as ESRB Rating Emerges
I'd say its a very busy time for Bethesda on Sony's console, as it has been for years now.
Re: Don't Sleep on Promising PS5 Dark Fantasy Hell Is Us
No quests, no waypoints? No thanks.
Re: RoboCop Returns in Unfinished Business, a Standalone Rogue City Expansion for PS5
I absolutely loved this game. Day one for me.
