@Aigis Can I get an autographed copy of the game?

@NinjaNicky Ah. I played the original back on Vita way back when and remember it being ridiculously difficult. Been tempted to jump into this one though - the new mechs/exosuits look really cool

Should they be nerfing stuff? Haven't played the game yet, but from what I've heard, a lot of the enemies are overpowered

This is actually pretty cool. Reminds me of that show Pitch back in like 2015 about young pitcher who becomes the first female player in Major League Baseball.

I got a 2TB SSD as soon as that update went live for everyone

@AldusRavencorn I thought the same thing too 🤣

It's interesting how they'll try to monetize this, considering an ultimate team style system should be off-limits with college athletes

This is bad - very bad. Expect to see lots of recycled environments and a litany of forgettable campaign missions.

@Neither_scene From what I remember, it was Xbox fans who were celebrating PlayStation's demise after the ABK acquisition.

Congrats to the devs, but I'm a little confused but this series. What was the game that came out a few months ago, The Man Who Lost his Name? Was that a side story/smaller scale game?

Kind of interesting how they casually revealed that Batman is alive in the game. If I recall, he supposedly blew up at the end of Arkham Knight, and the bonus scene for completing the Riddler puzzles was fairly ambiguous. Hopefully the story offers some explanations

Not surprised. Fortnight is basically a vehicle to advertise other brands/franchises, so why not a military as well

@JokerBoy422 Yeah, Agents of Mayhem is literally the first thing I thought of when I saw the initial gameplay. Definitely not a good thing

I feel exhausted just reading about this roadmap.

I've streamed my PS5 to a tablet before and it's an absolute pain to deal with. If you're not sitting down at a table, it becomes very uncomfortable to play very quickly.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this news. Black Ops 2, in my opinion, is one of the greatest campaigns in the franchise. It was the first game to feature loadouts (for the campaign), had branching storylines, was fairly solid in length with a decent amount of replayability, and the plot wasn't convoluted unlike Black Ops III. Hopefully Treyarch (if they're the ones making it) take their time with it and deliver a solid follow-up campaign to one of the best, and an overly brief one like B.O. Cold War

Kratos pretty much killed everyone in GoW 3, there weren't many avenues left to explore

@MasterEMFG Yeah that's true, unfortunately

It's kind of ridiculous how secretive the video game industry is. I mean, we don't even know who the voice actor is that's playing Lucia

Xbox is one of the biggest marketplaces for games? I thought it was an underdog to the mighty PlayStation?

Well, at least there's still hope for Abandoned 🤣

I get that Christopher Judge works in the video game industry, but he's an actor, not a developer. So not really a peer. And besides, he wasn't wrong. Activision had the gall to charge $70 for what is basically MW2 dlc. We know it is because the trophy listing proves it

Man I was really hoping for a 2024 release. Trailer looks amazing though

Didn't the devs initially say they were going to put certain players/users into the story? Maybe that explains the random NPC? It did say the character was played by someone called CrimsonRain722

Not terrible - I was actually thinking of buying Sable at some point

Still no release date for Pragmata though, a game revealed at the PS5's initial reveal

In my opinion, the side quest where you had to lead the pigeons to a new home in Queens was the best - easily a tearjerker

As far as the developer being Chinese, I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the CCP mostly discourages male characters that appear efeminine, not overly feminine female characters. Again, I could be way off here

I really like mine so far, just wish the touch pad wasn't accessed by double tapping the screen, though I suppose there wasn't any other option

I really wish Activision hadn't ditched the MW3 remaster

As long as it runs properly, I couldn't care less what it looks like

I would've preferred if they just remastered the original MW3 campaign to complete the trilogy

I tried the Equalizer 3 on this app, and the image was significantly darker than it was in the theater. I normally use Vudu/Movies Anywhere and I never have this issue

The last few times I tried to jump into Aliens Fireteam Elite, I couldn't matchmake with anyone. And because it has a gear score system, it's hard to progress further into the story

What about the Max Payne remakes?

I hope they address the weapon upgrade system at some point. It can be a slog to constantly dismantle gun after gun to acquire the green, blue, purple, then orange components. And when you make the upgrade, the improvement is fairly minimal. For instance, upgraded an iconic smart assault rifle for 75 orange components and all it did was increase the damage from 29 to 33

The only real bug I've encountered is when I was breaking open one of the Sandman rocks - the camera snapped from first to third person, and I was frozen in place as the dialogue played. A quick checkpoint reload solved the problem, but unfortunately I had to fight the sand guys all over again

Eww no thanks. Hopefully this is just a spin-off like FC Primal was

So is this game unrelated to the Poirot already on PS4/PS5? The ABC Murders, The First Cases, and The London Cases?

I'm super excited - I've waited so long for the map to be expanded from just Manhattan

It's unfortunate to hear about even more layoffs, especially at Telltale, who've had a rough few years. Is there any word on the bonus episode of The Expanse that came with the deluxe edition? I don't believe a release date was ever announced.

@MaikonCSGarcia Because it was Ninja Theory's IP, and again, it sold well during it's initial PS console exclusivity. One could argue that had it tanked on PS4, Microsoft may have been reluctant to even acquire Ninja Theory.

My point is, going along with the topic of this article, why not thank initial adaptors - or those who purchased the game on PS/Switch in the case of Cuphead - with the same updates across the board? I'd be saying the same thing if only a PS5 upgrade was released and not a Series X/S one. Microsoft could've even charged a small upgrade fee if they wanted to, for the Hellblade update.

Plus, Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76 continue to receive the same expansions as the other platforms, even though Microsoft owns them

Idk why but this reminds me of how Ninja Theory released the next gen update for Hellblade exclusively for Xbox and PC, even though the bulk of their initial sales and support came from the PlayStation community. I realize they'd been bought by Microsoft by that point, but still

People will probably disagree, but I wish Sony had made an attempt to purchase the Tomb Raider IP when it was available, as apparently Square Enix was selling it's western IP for a relatively low price

I would, but with a stronger story. And what happened to Heartlands? Isn't that supposed to be coming out this year?

@rjejr I'll never forget when Cyberpunk went gold...and was then delayed a month, then launched in a terrible state. Since then, that phrase doesn't hold the same weight in my opinion

To be honest, the only addition that would truly wow me is a third person mode, or at least third person conversations - similar to the Deus Ex games

@Splat Usually I prefer third person to first if you're playing as a noteworthy character, but I'm not sure if it would work for RoboCop. He doesn't move super quick or use cover, so you'd just be walking/sprinting forward with your arm outstretched, shooting guys. Plus with first person you get the RoboCop hud as well with the targeting system

I blame EA for much of this. From mandating the unsuitable Frostbite engine to shoehorning microtransactions and monetizable multiplayer modes into what should be a single player RPG, it's clear that their constant meddling has had quite the negative effect on the once great Bioware

@Al3 Most games on Series S run at a lower resolution in performance modes than on Series X
