@dskatter and what do all these preassumptions do for the gaming space!? Back then opinions were made over games once they released and purely on the quality of the game based on some subjective and objective factors.

Alone that people are obsessing about all this stuff around a games release just shows how much we've missed the point about this hobby.

Be it good or bad in the end, I hope this game gets a fair shot.

The internet has already made up it's mind to crap all over this, so you can count on any objectivity to be blown out of the window in favour of clickable hate bait.

Just need to get castlevania and contra back on track with modern reimaginings and konami are fully back on track. From there on I hope to see new franchises again

Why so little interest for pragmata? It looks great and was probably the only real unexpected appearance.

I'm all with Ramsey on Project Century. My most anticipated game for sure next to Witcher 4 which we just got to see more of.

Too bad duskbloods will also be mp nonsense and the success of night reign will just reinforce that. The entire "I vote with my wallet" act usually doesn't hold up to most gamers fomo unfortunately.

At the same time, we're not starving when it comes to sp soulslikes, many of which I find more enjoyable than the og.

Great month. Alone in the dark is very odd but fun, and I'm happy to try bomb rush as an old sega fanboy.

@McBurn onexplayer looks promising as a good hybrid option. I like the idea of a string portable device with good Egpu connectivity for a solid TV experience, but I might wait for thunderbolt/usb 5 to become a standard.

As for something psp go like, the mcon controller paired with a decent android phone looks like a nice alternative.

@McBurn ooh, I was looking into the V3 for a while as an option, but since I also wanted something more portable for telescopic controllers and oculink I am still on the lookout.
So you're happy with the device?

Seriously hope they rethink duskbloods, because the Bloodborne feel is wasted on an online game.

Lmao... People here "looks so generic!"... then go back to playing call of duty and oblivion.

People have just been wanting to hate on this game by default. I don't know if it's specifically targeting this game as Mr CEO man claims, but there are commenters on various platforms who are just there to get the pot boiling and generate "engagement". People do get paid for it. You guys are here to suck up the negativity.

I hope ignoring night reign will send a clear message concerning duskbloods.

Means nothing. At least tlou2 had the visible white walker/clicker battle that got denied us.

People should give outlaws another shot over this. I'm glad they fixed the money grab scheme of it, but outlaws wasn't the insidious mess that battlefront 2 was. First, the always online requirement was inaccurate for rage bait sakes, and the bug reports were also blown way out of proportion. Too bad the internet prefers to give blue tick engagement trolls the attention they desire.

@KundaliniRising333 was it a dud? Most of the reception was positive and the first one was good.
Sounds like a short yet focused single player game.

I actually managed to rack up about 30€ in store credit with few digital purchases (mostly DLC, full games usually physical) and taking part in all campaigns that give coins without having to buy stuff.

However, as most of Sony's good ideas it was poorly advertised and implemented since it never was on the console itself, but I did appreciate it.

Do we need traditions... not really. Are some traditions nice to have... absolutely

@PuppetMaster I know, and they're fun. When I see the art however I imagine a RPG or something.

Pull the plug, reboot, and have the studio turn it into something they actually want to do instead of whatever corpo morons think we want.

Dang, always get all excited when I see anime art like this, just to be let down that it's another shmup rather than something with a story. Not that they're bad... but it's just a shmup.

@dskatter I know denuvo and I'm not a fan. I totally agree with you on that.
What is worrying is how gaming media is constantly kindling outrage with the language they use paired with highlighting a selected loud crowd that like to engage exclusively in negative discourse.
Video games are a nice fun and occasionally inspiring distraction. Rather than engaging in what we love we've created this extra layer of distraction on top of it where all the business, controversies, social media buzz,... has become front and center.
Bottom line, more playing, less negativity and when there is a truly pressing issue we let em know in a way that truly matters, our closed wallets.

@get2sammyb yeah, some outraged by default people on X, what else is new. I'm not "reading the room" over some comment section gamers.

However, shift ups comments are relevant. I hope everyone who wants to play the game gets a chance sooner or later as it's a great game.

What "controversy" again? One of the most overused trigger terms in gaming news these days. How about trying "may cause issues", especially when not even released yet, but that would't kindle the wanted engagement.

Game streaming on plus, only to be able to stream it on a console that can run the game anyways. Still no sign of a mobile or browser app, and no... getting a portal is not the answer.

As for classics catalogue, we had some cool surprises, but Sony is getting complacent again.

Hope more people will give Star Wars Outlaws a chance as it's a fantastic game as well.

I was sure this was project mugen or one of the other unreleased f2p waifu gotchas. How much time do they think people have?

The "little" handheld that could.

@3Above agree, SquareEnix spoiled us over the last few years. Too bad most comment section gamers completely ignored those games, while being too busy commenting on sales expectations.

Staff should already freshen up their CVs and start applying elsewhere by the sound of this.

Why anybody would still give blizzard, bethesda and bioware any attention baffles me. Two bad studios and one has been (I could at least imagine bioware having a comeback).

If people are so intent on silly naming conventions like jrpg, I'll give a new one, brpg for boring rpg.

Oh people sure love these two things:

A) being outraged about whatever people want to get outraged about.

B) thoughtlessly consume by the motto "you can't tell me what I should do with my money!"

I'm looking forward to yotei as much as most of us, but pre ordering digital is the dullest tool thing to do.

When it's done is the perfect release date.

SOP should be a preview showcase only, no deep dives. Those can be left to the studios itself. Seriously, too much coverage makes me loose my appetite for a game, even if it's something I look forward to. Gameplay trailers, short and sweet.

Great family game for a lazy afternoon. Really enjoyed it on game pass.

@Kierant202 absolutely agree with you! There are enough turn based RPGs that are successful and the entire narrative around squareenix/final fantasy or the industry as a whole trying to undermine turn based gameplay is just made up in thin air. It's just cheep social media hyperbole from a few edge lord purists. SE released a bunch of bangers the last few years (triangle strategy etc) but people didn't show up to support them and rather just punch around on square enix. The sales expectations gag has also gotten pretty stale.

I find FF7r has found a perfect balance between the ATB (which I'm not very keen of) and action gameplay, while FFX perfected the pure turn based gameplay. The action gameplay of FF16 wasn't it's problem, but rather that it didn't have personality, identity or depth, but I think square realised that.

I hope they can still fine tune the game and patch it, that the re-release will be a success. The indie survival horror scene is fantastic at the moment and I wish this team all the best, as well that expedition 33 will continue to sell well. These games have more personality than anything Bethesda's ever made, even if they're considered mainstays in the RPG genre.

@DennisReynolds it's gotten better with critic reviews of horror films, but usually reserved for those that actually have something to say or do something new. The ones you mentioned and others like hereditary and get out are truly fantastic films, even outside the horror bubble.

Still, I find a critic that doesn't take the creators intentions and the goal audience into consideration a bit narrow minded. Even schlock has it's place and can vary in quality.

A damn shame having this cancelled. I enjoyed the expansion of the blade runner world. Of course Denis Villeneuve's sequel and the anime series on crunchyroll was pretty good as well.

Why infamous and resistance?

Only have time for one Rpg at a time, and I'm definitely behind expedition 33.

Looks fun, if the price is right I'd get it.

@dskatter oh yeah 😅

I wonder why "played it already on game pass" isn't an option here on push square?

@Residentsteven oh, that sounds wild. Reminds me when I had roach (horse/s in the Witcher series) catapulted into oblivion, post patch. Despite a rocky and slow start I'm glad I stuck with it, as Witcher 3 is one of my all time favourites.

@Residentsteven you might not like it for gameplay or design reasons, but the reasons you listed just aren't true. The game looks great and isn't buggy in it's current state. Yeah, that's also an opinion, but digital foundry, who are well respected when it comes to technical teardowns say that outlaws was one of if not the most technically impressive game of 2024, even on consoles. Players now generally report that the bugs have been fixed.

What, that's not even Guts but just some rando blizzard dark fantasy template dude!? If it's an entire berserk campaign I'm in. If it's just some lame crossover skins I'll remain just as interested in blizzard as before, which is not at all.

Demo was good on switch. Felt like it ran at a stable 30fps and the gameplay was comfy and fun.

x86 PC's and consoles are just brute forcing performance with high power consumption. Newer AMD and Intel GPUs are showing improvements, but I think we'll see big changes with arm64 compatibility layers/emulation.
These are far more elegant and sophisticated chips.
The snapdragon 8 elite 2 is supposed to have GPU support. Imagine having a phone/tablet handheld that can run the big games with upscaling/frame sampling if needed that have very long battery life (2-8h depending on application) and a GPU dock for hooking it up to an outlet and monitor.

I'm fine with the comparison since the ps5/pro is technically just a wee bit better than the PS4/pro.

Also seeing something like the xenoblade games load between fast travel points within seconds on a switch 1 shows that they already had a solid memory advantage ages ago.
