I just turned 55 myself, but I've heard of ASAP. He's married to Rihanna (who's probably yesterday's news herself).

I might have heard of Diplo. Or am I just confusing it with Duplo? (you know the Lego toy sets for even younger children than fans of Diplo )

Great then I don't have to buy a Series S for the game.

You have to consider that not many "big hitter" games has been released since february. It's easier to sell a lot when there's not much competition. Personally I burnt out of the format/concept with Dark Souls which I enjoyed quite a bit, I admit.

Resident Evil Village The Winters' Expansion.
No full games until Resident Evil 4 really interests me.

Dark Souls was pretty good. Demon' s Souls was just to punishing. Haven't played the rest (I do own Dark Souls II but just haven't bothered with it).

None, never liked the idea of subscription based gaming, mainly because my taste in games is quite narrow (horror themed/like third person shooter games mainly).

Besides I've really jumped ship the last 10 years and almost completely play handhelds these days (a much less stressful and "intimate" way of playing IMO - can't wait to get my hands on a Steam Deck ).

Capcom is really firing on all cylinders these years. It might not be revolutionary, but it sure is solid. Can't personally wait for RE Village Gold and RE4 reimagination.

And a 3rd time.. tried to shoot his way.. didn't work.

1 hour 40 minutes in and now there's actual challenging gameplay.. and the game seems to be falling apart lol.. the Youtuber playing it just died twice in the same section.. he should probably have played it a bit more stealthy

It's a pretty good movie though. Watching it on Youtube now while I'm re-downloading my PS3 copy (takes forever btw).

No. Got on PS3 already and didn't think it was anything really special.
Besides from that, I understand it's as remake just as much as Demon's Souls remake and the upcoming Dead Space are remakes; basically the same game with a new "coat of paint" plus some minor tweaks to the gameplay/mechanics.
Boring if you ask me.

There's only one way for the P-People.

Can't say I'm extremely excited; I'm sure it will be ok and I will get it for my Steam Deck (if it can run it).
But what will the combat system be? Will it be "gun fu" (setting up enemies for melee finishers) like in the original? Or will it be "oh the horror" and "we can't have any karate stuff, because that's just to unserious for horror (and you know "oh the horror").
Don't get me wrong, I'll get the game regardless (I'm too huge an RE fan not to). But I'm a bit sceptical to what the gameplay will be like (not really a fan of being close to defenseless).
But we'll see I guess (not really a big fan of the whole remake concept either, but that's another discussion).

It was good, because RE4 was revealed. I hope it will play on Steam Deck too (I'm a handheld gamer these days).

I'm not worried about Sony. But a bit worried if the Steam Deck can play upcoming Resident Evil games. That's all I'm really worried about these days. Modern gaming is not my cup of tea.

I hope we'll see a reveal of RE4 remake and the RE Village DLC, but then again I think I read a couple days ago that Capcom would do a stream of their own the 13th of june (around Summer Game Fest). So I don't really know what to think.

@Rob3008 Just stating my opinion, that's all .

@playstation1995 You do know that Sony themselves was kind of surprised the PS4 was a success. And a lot have changed since then; like Sony porting their games to PC; like them predicting 20% of their business will be on mobile phones in 2025; like streaming is becoming popular too; like Sony (halfhearted though) copying Gamepass (plus more probably you could add).
How do you think the gaming landscape will look in 2030 (or there abouts)? I think there will be PC, streaming, mobile phones and MAYBE a Nintendo hybrid console (Nintendo might stand a chance even though I don't think it will be an easy ride for them at all).

@Shepherd_Tallon Exactly!

PS5 will be the last Sony console, and frankly I don't care.

@Perturbator That's a damn long time lol.

@4kgk2 Really?

@truerbluer I don't know.. The time slowing mechanism in Max Payne 1 and 2 was quite innovative for the time (I enjoyed both - although I didn't finish 2).
Alan Wake's "wear them down with light and finish them with gunpower" gameplay was simple but well done (plus you could evade enemies too).
I must say I'm hard pressed to desire more from a combat/gameplay engine (the game had other issues though like being a bit light on exploration and horror - plus the graphics weren't the best at the time IMO). I personally enjoyed my 2 playthroughs though.

@Rob_230 Just learned that in the comment section of Nintendolife's article on the same subject. Not really that big on football.

@get2sammyb Ok, I didn't about them obstructing the gameplay evolving. I thought EA had sort of figured they could really use the licensing fee themselves, but if they still have to pay to clubs and players there's probably not much to save. (but doesn't FIFA own the rights to Champions League?)

@Marios-love-child So they will have to negotiate with each individual team? (or maybe even each individual player? - I don't know how it's all put together legally - but there was this case with a Dutch player 20-25 years iirc , where it basically said a club could not "own" a player)

Not that I'm a big footie fan, but I do follow results from Premier League, The Championship, my own local leagues plus a few others. And I did actually enjoy PES 2011 and 2012 on my 3DS (the 3D effect was really cool ).

What really interests me is what this - (and quite a few other recent events like Gamepass, PS Plus Premium and ActiBliz, Bethesda, SquareEnix western studios and Bungie buyouts - plus rumours of remaining SquareEnix, Warner Bros and even Ubisoft buyouts) - means for the whole industry.

It kind of feels like the whole industry is dissolving/transcending on a huge scale at the moment. To me it feels like the old model is finally falling apart.

And EA seems to me like just another very big player in the industry that are having a real hard time at the moment or at least when it comes to the mid to long term future. Let me just mention Anthem and Battlefield 2042 being more or less disasters just the last few years.

It's certainly interesting times right now (maybe not from a "hardcore" gamers view point - but maybe it's for the better in the long run - modern games just consumes so much of your time nowadays, being so gigantic in scope).

@get2sammyb Ditto.

@MFTWrecks Plus finishers with a stomp/kick down on the opponents head? Isn't it taking it taking the violence a bit too far?
I know they're not dying, because it's a superhero game, but still they would have if it had been real. The Arkham games were violent too with arms being broken and all, but at least it seemed more realistic the "victims" actually survived.
There's head stomping in Resident Evil 5 too, but that was done to zombies. There's a difference when it's human beings criminal or not IMO. It feels cheap.

Looks pretty meh to me. The character models and animation looks kind of stiff and uninspired. The city/environments doesn't look as good as in the Arkham games. And yet another city to roam about in. Couldn't they have been a bit more creative with the setting? It's now the fourth game in a row taking part in a city.

Tbh I'd much rather buy the rumoured Switch Arkham collection, this looks pretty tame IMO.

You'll probably need PS Plus to play it anyway, like that "free" game that came with 3 remake.

The Evil Within 2 is 9 euro and that's steal for that price IMO.
It's a kind of "stealth survival horror" game (not totally - there's gunplay and over the top boss fights too!) in a sort of open worlds and linear areas hybrid game.

A very underrated game IMO.

I haven't played any of these games, but chose Elden Ring because I did quite like Dark Souls (put 80 hours into it - but was burned out on the concept after that - 2 is still sitting on my shelf after all these years ) and Elden Ring is just more of the same IMO (just open world this time).

Most of the games are available on PC or on PS4 or PS5 through remasters and backwards compability anyway. I just don't see the need for them to be available on PS5 through emulation.

But then again as handheld gamer formost these day, I've pre-ordered a Steam Deck and do not intend to purchase a PS5 after the disappointing PS4 generation.

In hindsight the Vita wasn't a great platform; it was OK IMO as it had the redeeming feature of being able to play PSone and PSP classics (not all of them unfortunately, but it DID have a good collection).
As of Vita games themselves: Well obviously Persona 4 Golden (even though it doesn't interest me personally - but it must be good mustn't it). Soul Sacrifice Delta was great at the time, but it's not REALLY a classic (got bored with it eventually). Toukiden Kiwami was great too (but again not a real classic).
The Vita also had the best collection of fighting games ever on a handheld (Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter X Tekken, Injustice, a couple of Blazblue games plus quite a few more).
As I said an OK (but also quite underwhelming - at times) platform, that I frankly don't have much desire to play these days (but hey I feel almost the same about the Nintendo 3DS - although not quite - it IS a better platform IMO).

I don't think it's from the (rumoured/leaked) RE4 remake. He looks quite old (his hairline has crept up quite a bit compared to his RE5 self + he just looks more "worn out" from a long hard life).
You have to consider that Wesker was 48 years old in RE5 (which is from 2009), so his around 60 now.
Then there's also his left arm. Why is it in bandages/injured?
I think it might be concept art from the rumoured/leaked RE Outrage/Revelations 3 and that he's returning in that game (or at least I hope he does, because it would be really cool .

@TheArt We must just hope the fans aren't dead in the meantime

Alone the title sounds super cheesy; "Braking Point". Had it been called "Braking Bad", it would probably be more interesting though

That must be without japanese sales. Capcom recently said that Monster Hunter Rise had shipped 7 million copies, while Village had shipped 4 million after 3 weeks (27th of may IIRC).

Kind of reminds me of the Resident Evil spin-off Umbrella Corps (and that's not really a good thing).
Looks kinda cheap IMO.

What about that other they started teasing at least 10 years ago (a sequel to a game from PS2 era - can't even remember its name)?
I don't think it has even been released yet (now I remember - Beyond Good and Evil 2, I think).

@Rob_230
After years of planning they had to release new hardware, or they would be left behind the PC master race.

@ApostateMage
Yeah, please understand...

Diplomatic: They weren't completely honest
Truth: Yes, they lied
But: Please understand...

Yes. Caved in and bought the physical PS4 version slighty reduced in price.
Seems quite ok so far, a lot better than 7. It's a bit slow so, but the gunplay that has been so far is quite satisfying (just killed the first sister).

Wonder if Capcom got cold feet after the January showcase, because they realized Verse wasn't so hot a property and quickly added/developed a Mercenaries mode instead?

Fifa in the number 1 spot. But for how long if Super League becomes a reality and Konami snaps up the license?

Give us an official 3rd person mod Capcom, it was a big part of The Mercenaries to actually see who you were playing as.
This is just too impersonal (if there's even more characters than one to play with, that is).
It seems you can customize your character more or less how you want, so why even have more characters if you can't even see them when your playing (just saying - don't hate me ).

@huyi To be fair they said you could predownload. Right now it doesn't seem to up, though.

@everynowandben
I know it's not on rail (God forbid it!). But it just seems too fast paced and shooty, shooty for my liking.

He was an a** in 7 and now he's seemingly the villain. Oh the loss of innocence, who cares if he is in some cutscenes being a bad guy.
