Gets it's the closest we'll get to more Titanfall.

@PuppetMaster perhaps mubi or the criterion channel

Haha, just yesterday I finally decided to do the Christmas level after being irked that my trophy completion wasn't 100% (yes, I'm slightly OCD) and now there's more again... I'm not complaining 😊

@PuppetMaster yes, auto correct struck again. Yes, he portrayed Musashi in the samurai trilogy.

@PuppetMaster that's a younger Toshiro Mifune I assume. Continuing the tradition of casting great Japanese actors (and one french movie legend).

Opening was meh with cheesy farez game, wrestling, fnaf and borderlands4... but them the show picked up.

Yeah, it didn't have a long awaited sequel, remake etc newly announced, we already are served there with onimusha and mgsdelta, but it rather had a bunch of brand new games, so that's good!

People with first party only obsession just demand to be sour by default.

Perhaps they need to switch to a new engine 😂

Nah, final look is distinct and works. The prototype looks like a character creator model from a fashion game.

Not quite on par with the chapter conclusion animated cut scenes in Black myth Wukong. Those are out of this world.

Some like wuchang (seriously, Chinese studios copying eachother already) do blend together but phantom blade 0 does stand out and looks like something special.

It's as if DC is trying to get the games to follow the same pattern as their movies, scatterbrained mess with gems few and far between. James Gunn won't save that boat either. He's the one who started making a joke off of everything in marvel so that nothing feels meaningful in it.

Yes, there was also a resident evil comic from top cow at the time that was pretty good.

It has the look but lacks the charm and ends up looking like another generic online 4 player romp with lots of fighting and looting. I doubt it'll have these sublime "woah" moments like Zelda does, even though having that together with a friend would be amazing. I guess Nintendo will have to do that.

Usually 2 months, like ff7r, like a dragon. Xenoblade usually 4 months. Witcher 3 and cyberpunk over years

@breakneck I humbly revoke my claim. Onimusha 2! I'm so old.

Why is nobody mentioning the onimusha 2 port?

This is so up my alley.

Oh brother, I got excited seeing the astral chain thumbnail, just to read bad news.

@breakneck the guys at digital foundry are great, but I'll never base a game purchasing decision purely on a technical analysis.

Also, the gaming community really loves to pick and choose who to bash in unequal fashion. Remember the outrage the low Res doors in ff7 remake received? In the meanwhile black myth wukong has entire Forrest foliage made of huge green triangles and mountain passes that look like from the PS2 era and nobody says a thing. I'm fine with that, I had a blast with wukong despite that, but gamers and the media clearly pick their darlings and their punching bags.

Not that old but definitely forgotten

I'm all in on pacman. Always happy with a good old 3d platformer.

People should calm down about Bloodborne. It's great, I played the hell out of it, including the dlc, but the internet has made it a neverending obsession. From software is mostly making the same type of game with only slightly different settings. Beyond that there's no lack of great soulsborne games from other studios. I for one since then had more enjoyment with wukong, lies of p and the likes.
And it's not like the PS4 version is unplayable or inaccessible. Move on and be patient.

I actually I can see Simu Liu more in the role than Donnie Yen. Don't get me wrong, Donnie is still the goat, but he's too old for the role. I think the character also grew up in the west, which would fit well to Liu.
And anything that could get this franchise rolling again is welcome.

I like the idea of the classic themes but they weren't designed and implemented nicely. Looked like some haphazardly stitched together fanmade theme. PS4 had some really fantastic themes.

@HOWARDSROCK thanks, I just realised after righting that it's on Amazon. Will wait for a sale however.

Looking back to when people were like "wrap up movie industry, David Cage games are the next big thing"... no... Fahrenheit, heavy rain and BTS as movies would be surefire razzie winners.

It's like David Cage specialized on making grand misguided auteur cinema like Copolla's Megalopolis, without having deserved the reputation of doing so.

Is that step one damage control after the Hulst "demotion"?

@get2sammyb "To be fair, through the history of time, games have always ended up getting cancelled."

Sure, but when a entire batch of GaS games get cancelled, some of which are attached to big IPs, it does make you question leadership.

If I burn one or two pancakes... so what. If I serve an entire plate of charcoal I probably wouldn't get a soft demotion.

@PuppetMaster thanks, that's an interesting insight. Though I do wonder having beef with then TriStar Colombia now Sony pictures and dealing with SIE should be two different pair of shoes one would think. I for one was very impressed with the spirits within as I watched it in the cinema. Not sure if it holds up. I also want to try fantasian if it gets a physical release.

Is it just me or could this be Sony's opportunity to support a smaller studio and get a legendary timed exclusive in their library? Kojima isn't the only one who deserves that sort of attention.

I'm very happy for team bloober. Many commenters here and generally online were super toxic and discouraging, but they pushed through and delivered. I hope people here take a lesson on not to prematurely pass judgment and even when doubtful give others the benefit of the doubt and be supportive.

There were even some corners in the internet claiming that their toxic bashing is what spurred bloober to achieve their success. Next to cringing I just hope such people never run a company, go into politics or raise children.

For now I think that'll make little difference, but I'm hopeful that Sony will move more and more into a direction like Nintendo. Nicolas Doucet and the wonderful team asobi should paint a direction of where Sony is going and generally remain under Japanese control. 3rd party partnerships like sega, square-enix and Capcom need to be bolstered and their first party studios should be making the games they believe to be right.

Well, add compatibility for other controllers and practically turn it into a pc preferably portable and we'd be talking. Otherwise I don't really see it happening. Just make software for every platform and we'd be good.

@ricerictwice to be fair, John Wick had a ridiculous story and world from the very beginning. The sequels didn't make it worse, they just underlined how silly the plot is at its core. Didn't understand why they even made a continental series, as if the world building was so intriguing... No, I just want to see Keanu do crazy action scenes.
Perhaps a better comparison would be Rambo. First blood was a serious movie about a vet traumatized by war... the sequels however we're just dumb fun.

@DonJorginho these white knights are probably indifferent to the issues around them that actually matter.

The series comeback fittingly snuck up like a ninja. Very happy about it.

@EchoRange @neillaw @PrincessPeach11 @dskatter Oh my, can't stop laughing "what Ubisoft has done to Japan"... THE INJUSTICE! 😂
Here come the white weebs, fighting for Japanese culture, while Japanese are like "Uhm, where's the problem here?"

@nomither6 https://gameflip.com/

@nomither6 you say psplus is a scam service? What makes you think that? Is netflix a scam?
Anyways, unless you buy digital games from GOG you're just getting a licence to play, not actual ownership, so yeah, theoretically you can loose access to all of your digital games. You're argument with Sony putting out a firmware update to revoke access to specific physical games is also quite outlandish.

Lastly, just because I own something digitally, doesn't mean I couldn't be able to sell it again. F.e. there's a market for skins, cosmetics, etc... Not being able to handle digital games however is an active choice by companies because they want to kill a 2nd hand market.

@nomither6 your point being? name me 5 examples that aren't online requirement, live service or plain multiplayer. So no the crew, mag and similar stuff that for obvious reasons are games that can be locked. Or better yet, tell me how you'd sell your digital games without giving up an entire account.

USA ain't the world. If you check play-asia, most games that are digital only in western regions are still being produced physical, so that does signal different consumer behaviours in different regions.

As for the US, of course a majority willingly give up their consumer rights for convenience, just as a majority would give up their civil rights for ignorance.

I'm tired that in the EU gadgets get handled as $ = € (+100€ oftentimes). Oh well, I prefer real health care over cheaper gadgets.

The first Anderson RE movie is a guilty pleasure, but the only goodwill he still has in my books is Event Horizon, love that movie.
The netflix series had an intriguing mystery and great effects... if only the show wouldn't be called resident evil.
Racoon City had a nice John Carpenter vibe going, but blew the characters unfortunately. Also should have just tried to adapt RE1 rather than mixing 1&2.

@Can-You-Believe-Sith true, poor scientists. I never understood how zombifying the population was good business for umbrella 🤷

@MikeOrator I've previously commented on this, that as a huge Yakuza fan who loves the blend of earnest drama with mad humour, I feel RGG is purely trying to bank on the memeability and social media buzz by putting the camp front and center in pirate Yakuza. To the uninitiated it would appear Yakuza/LaD is just that, which is sad because personally I wouldn't have stuck with the series to this point if it were just a collection of Japanese campiness. Of course I'll play this game too, but I'm not nearly as excited as for any past entry or the upcoming project century.

@Dodoo absolutely agree, outlaws already broke away from that ubi formula and had such a lively world paired with the cartel system. A shame people didn't show up or just slandered it without playing it. I also heard good things about the Avatar game.

@ChopperCampbell take a month of game pass to play it now and then buy it physical for ps5 in a few months.

Play Asia is great for physical games. Was happy they had LaD The man who erased his name on a disc.

I wonder what unexpected turns this will take. I love the creative freedoms Nomura took, rather than abiding to fanboyism. Also, bring on the mini games, they were great!

It looks like a great blend of black myth style gameplay, paired with context sensitive animations (the dodging on top of the blades) and cinematics. If all this comes together this'll be solid. I'd be happy if it's shorter but more polished. Makes a game more replayable if it's not 30+ hours.
