Very much "on board" with this... I'll see myself out

Glorious sh**pickle

Trailer sets a great eerie mood. Hope it delivers.

More accounts, but the prospect of cross platform saves is very appealing with pc handhelds. Sega is also one of the few publisher's who actually have enough top notch output to justify another account.

Time to finish the free Ragnarok DLC!

Hollow knight is a good metroidvania, not more not less. I've played several since that I've liked just as much gameplay wise and even more by the art style. The hype for it and the sequel seems out of proportion. One of those things the internet collectively decides to get obsessive about, to show good taste in gaming, even if not played. At least it's a positive obsession rather than bashing on something.

I had a dumb fun time with this game and look back to it fondly. Definitely not a highpoint in the series however.

As bad as Sony handled the launch, I'm surprised we see increased 3rd party support as of recent. I don't know how it's feasible for studios beyond pc and quest, but maybe it's an easy platform to port on. Always wanted to see it succeed as I was a big fan of the original psvr, but Sony's stupidity switched me over to pcvr/quest this time around. I also got the quest3 2nd hand and don't buy from meta... Great device but oligarch and fiend to humanity Zuckerberg won't see a single € from me.

@DennisReynolds if these studios skip a generation, it's very unfortunate but it can even get worse. So often management just rolls off the blame of failure to these studios rather than admitting to the obvious mismanagement and lack of vision. In consequence studios get closed because "they didn't contribute".

@get2sammyb the premise is probably the best way to adapt it without just turning it into run of the mill slasher shlock.
Despite bit being very interested I hope it finds success to warrant more horror game adaptations like signalis, clock tower or tormented souls.

This reminds me of rock steady and Crystal dynamics... millions and years of talent wasted chasing that elusive cash cow and now bend and bluepoint too!

Just imagine how good we would be eating the last few years if all these studios would have just played to their talents, rather than some out of touch, trend chasing sony CEO dictating them what to make... this is truly pathetic!

The game's practically full priced in Europe. Man who erased his name was cheaper and looked better in general. Guess I'll hold off for now, dust off my PS3 and play yakuza dead souls until pirates is on sale.

For me the convenient option that lets me play when and where I want always wins. I rather play than count pixels and frames. Something lots of Sony and pc diehards have forgotten about. I sure hope ps6 goes hybrid as well.

@breakneck generally good to rather delay a game and have it more polish. Though I must say, I played both fallen order on ps4pro and survivor on ps5 very early after release and never considered them that buggy. I remember having worse issues with Witcher 3, months after release. I must also say, looking past nostalgia goggles, old games were also buggy and janky oftentimes and that was unchangeable. Nintendo has always delivered the most polished games however.

@breakneck Judgement is great. We've also got Project Century coming up which is my most anticipated game for now.
One thing studio RGG does really well is telling unconventional game plots. Alone judgement with it's story about the dementia panacea is something that just doesn't feel like "been there done that".

As a long time fan I must admit not being very excited for this. I always appreciated the blend of heartfelt crime drama with the absurd, but going full absurd undermines what makes Yakuza/LAD special and purely caters to those who just appreciate the series for its memability.

However, I got the 0-6 rereleases at limited run to look forward to.

Looking forward to the conclusion of the trilogy.

@Lup FIST was so overlooked. Great metroidvania! Hope this is good too.

Crossovers are one of the lamest things to happen in gaming in recent years, independent from genre.

Both great games independent from what one may think about star wars. Maybe survivor sold more because you could buy it under 20€ and I often saw it bundled with the ps5 on Amazon.

I hope we'll get a HotD Overkill remake eventually... I must... return to the womb!

I think public opinion on the ps5pro will change once the price drops, because the returns will always remain diminishing. And no, the argument about, it's a steal because a rtx5070 alone costs 550$ doesn't cut it. Pc was always more expensive and a different ball game all together.

I agree with Sammy that Sony making their games playable on multiple devices and on the go is the future.

My hopeful prediction is that we'll see a few more colossal trippleA failures to see Sony and other big players get weirder and more experimental again and Blut the lines between big studios and indie studios.

I thought it was cancelled long ago. Didn't see Donny Yen, as great as he is, in this role. I'd rather like square-enix pick it up again with a new dev team and get it back popular again.

@tameshiyaku you're right, but perhaps they could think of new mechanics that could make the juggle more grounded, like having the opponent stunned or of balance, which opens for a longer chain.
At the same time, people play these games for the competitive aspect and not for cinematic fights, so whatever works for twitch reaction gameplay is going to be the best.

If vf gets rid of mechanics like aerial juggles and other nonsensical moves that aren't possible, maybe we could get closer to such realistic animations. Question is how to do this and keep the gameplay fun.

Pirates looks fun, but purely leaning into the silly side of Yakuza might backfire eventually. People stopped caring about the MCU when everything became a punchline to a joke.

Also, after seeing a glimpse of project Century, it's all I want to see from RGG at the moment.

Housemarque has the gameplay right, maybe the platinum influence can also add some personality to it's games.

I'm not a multiplayer fan but legends was pretty cool, especially the cooperative aspects. But I do hate trophies connected to online functions.

Anime sounds like a great idea, but I hope it'll be similarly stylised like the star wars short. So many anime's these days are just so unremarkable in style and story. I miss 90s anime.

Good overview of indies, but once steam next fest or a Nintendo indies direct comes you can throw all plans of cleaning ones backlog all overboard again. The indie scene is crazy at the moment.

@gollumb82 absolutely agree, my eyes are all on Lenovo. Both the legion go 2 and the new legion tablet sound promising.

Suicide squad finally reaches it's full potential as free to play garbage (Disclaimer: f2p isn't automatically bad as hoyoverse and Warframe have proven, but going from the Arkham trilogy to this is an obvious downgrade)

Nothing-burger article of some dweebs on twitter. Since we're talking about twitter, let's do something good and donate a few dollars to Wikipedia rather than boycott it as brain rot Elon has demanded.

They'd only find footing if they offer a big library of non-sega games as well. At the same time, games don't offer themselves so we'll to a subscription since many take 20+ hours to complete unlike a movie, TV show and music where it can make sense.

However, if I'd get a promise of a shenmue 4 I could be persuaded, though I would want it physical eventually.

@Pushsquarian pssr was rather made to give us marginally better image quality on expensive, yet lower powered hardware and not really about stealing creative jobs. Generative ai is there for that however and companies using it to save on wo/manpower should be scrutinized for that.

Wow, why did I just spend 8 minutes on this weird and unnecessary subject!? 😅
A whole lotta nothing-burger, but that's what you get when so called professions are purely based on attention.

@DonJorginho My goodness, that PlayStation segment was bottom barrel corporate trash!
I can imagine some pr corp bigwigs sitting together, combining all their out of touch ideas of "what do the cool kids like". Adding some board mandated, disingenuous representation and you have 9 minutes of pure garbage that cost several million for sure... for the players.

"AAA game production is not sustainable anymore, unless you make insane sales numbers."... or you just don't pay people on the top these insane amounts! American exceptionalism knows no bounds.

Geoff seems like a good guy and genuinely invested in the medium.

@MikeOrator Key Vess was awesome and fit in perfectly in the star wars universe. Some outspoken gamers just being morons as usual.

@ZeroSum love death and robots is definitely the better anthology series. For some reason zima blue remains my favourite episode, but bad traveling was also really good.

Strangely the episodes I expected the least from being new world and pacman were my favourites in secret level, though I still need to watch the 2nd batch tonight.

Man, pssr seems to be quite the dud, especially in direct comparison to fsr.

@LifeGirl First guy ai waifus will take revenge on in the machine uprising... just saying 😂 (please don't take this serious)

Good to see yotei on equal ground as gta6. I'm sure gta6 will be a great game, but people do tend to get a bit wacky over it.

@GreatAuk Not critiquing what anybody personally finds attractive, but rather how folks get mean if it's not what they like. If me commenting in a light way on the folks who go online to harass, discriminate or body shame others, irks you... that's a you problem.

Will Smith needs to hand out slaps to all those close shave haters.

Seriously though, I love the look, Abby was also fantastic. People have such a narrow perception of beauty. I assume this is a case of culture war brain farts.

@Majin_Deicide same, project Century looked the best imo.
Glad that the PlayStation maximalists have something to hold on to with intergalactic. That and yotei do look amazing in the 1st party action adventure roster.

Is that a star, no! To us, in a lonely manger okami 2 has been born. A Christmas miracle!

I'll see myself out

@nessisonett I'm not a fan of his work, and I doubt I'd like him much as a person either, but that's just an unhealthy and weird thing to say.

David Cage is a bit of a quack imo, but let's see what he comes up with next. If Fahrenheit, heavy rain or beyond were made into movies with those scripts, they would probably be razzie contenders.
