Temper your expectations, everyone. Rocksteady now is not the Rocksteady that released the Arkham trilogy. So many people left during the debacle that was Suicide Squad's nearly 9 year development. Not to mention, this game won't be out until at least 2029 or maybe 2030.
I don't think anyone is doubting The Last of Us Online might've been great. I do think most everyone is in agreement that nobody wanted Naughty Dog to become a live service only studio. I still think the project could be salvaged by handing off development to another studio leaving Naughty Dog free to work on it's medium defining single player games.
If you listen to the internet, this is the single worst thing Sony has ever done. And yet, Days Gone Remastered is coming with new content and a $10 upgrade. It's creeping up the pre-order list of PS5. This game is clearly wanted. I can't wait to platinum it again and that Horde Assault mode sounds like so much fun.
As several have already stated, I hope the Legend trilogy gets a remaster next. Tomb Raider Legend is my favorite in the series and it could do with a facelift.
This is almost as dumb as WB games claiming that live service is the way to go after Hogwarts Legacy dethroned 2 decades of Call of Duty dominance in sales, whilst Suicide Squad failed using such a bankable property as Batman.
If he is doing a game like he did the voice in 2004....well it wouldn't be DMC 1 as that game released in 2001 and Vergil wasn't voiced by Daniel Southworth (his first appearance was DMC3). It would have to be DMC3. Though, it's possible all 3 of the original DMCs are getting remade as 1 package.
I'm glad the game is on PC and more players are enjoying it. I'm just sick of the narrative that it's a failure because it was a PS5 exclusive. The game did very well on PS5 for a year.
What everyone is forgetting is that Nintendo has a track record of following up a great console with a poor one. I think naming this console the Switch 2 will help it to avoid the problems that the Wii U saw, but I don't forsee the Switch 2 being quite as big of a mega hit as the current Switch.
Why is this surprising to anyone? Sony has done this now for every one of their PC games. It's gonna continue. It'll be more entertaining if they ever launch a first party game (not including MLB) on Xbox and then watch all of the Xbox fanboys' heads explode when Sony requires a PSN login on Xbox.
This just drives me crazy. It's been so hard to find any videos actually discussing and breaking down the trailer. 99% of the videos are just incels crying about how the game is woke and Naughty Dog is finished. It's tiring.
While they are considered Playstation Studios titles, Bloodborne and Death Stranding are not first party games (technically, Spider-Man 2018 wasn't first party at the time either). That said, every one of these games deserved their nominations and some (Uncharted 4, R&C Rift Apart, and possibly Ghost of Tsushima which is kind of 1A to The Last of Us Part II in 2020) deserved to win. It's actually crazy that Deathloop was nominated in 2021 over Returnal.
I actually wanted to pick this up (still might). It sucks that this appears to be the norm now after a game launches, to lay off a portion of the development team.
No level select is strange. But remember everyone, this is designed for kids, not necessarily the hardcore Horizon audience. I know that my son will have a blast with this since he loves Horizon as a result of the level in Astro Bot.
Silent Hill 2 is excellent. I'm closing in on the platinum (at nearly 30 hours of gameplay). The only real criticism I have is that the game is bizarrely easy. It gives you way more ammo and health than you need and none of the puzzles (even on hard) aren't terribly difficult or obtuse.
The only game I am annoyed that didn't transfer trophies is Fallout 4. I was halfway through on PS4 and finished with the PS5 version, but didn't get the PS5 version trophies for the first half of the game and I have no desire to go back and finish them.
There was a time when I would've been completely on board with this. However, I lost interest in Halo years ago and have no real interest to ever revisit the series. I tried the MCC on PC and didn't really get into it.

Re: Highly Anticipated PS5 Console Exclusive Lost Soul Aside Officially Confirms Boxed Release
This game looks so great. This, along with Tides of Annihilation, Ghost of Yotei, and GTA VI are gonna make this year great (on PS5 anyway).

Re: Xbox to Put PS5 Logos in Future Showcases, Says Phil Spencer
Somehow, there will still be those that are in denial about Xbox going third party.

Re: Of Course Five Nights at Freddy's Is the Big Winner from State of Play
Why? When Saros and Tides of Annihilation were announced?
Re: Capcom to Pull the Plug on Rubbish Resident Evil Multiplayer Spin-Off
Good, will Capcom now stop trying to make RE multiplayer a thing? Unless of course, they want to remake Outbreak.
Re: Death Stranding 2 Edges Closer to PS5 Release with New Age Rating
Can't decide if I'm more hyped for this or Ghost of Yotei, this year.

Re: Onimusha 2 Remaster Announced for PS4, Coming This Year
Only 6 years after Onimusha 1 got ported to PS4. Better late than never I guess. Can we assume 3 is coming at some point?
Re: Sackboy Dev Cancels New IP to Focus on Game Production for Partners
Were they working on a live service game too? Honestly, why did anyone think this was a good idea?
Re: Abby's Muscles Less Relevant to HBO's The Last of Us Adaption
Hey, I've got an idea, instead of whining about it, why don't we just watch the show and enjoy it for what it is? No? Not possible?
Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Enjoying a 'Fantastic' Launch on Steam
I'm glad the game is on PC and more players are enjoying it. I'm just sick of the narrative that it's a failure because it was a PS5 exclusive. The game did very well on PS5 for a year.
Re: Reaction: Sony's Live Service Push Has Been a Disaster of Utterly Insane Proportions
I'm calling it now, Fairgame$ is going to be cancelled and Haven Studio will be closed.

Re: 11 New Games Are Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings?! That I was not expecting. I do hope it's the PS2 version though and not the PSP one.
EDIT: After doing some research, it appears that this will, in fact, be the PS2 version.
Re: The Final Suicide Squad PS5 Ending Is a Real Sorry Sight
Bold of push square to believe that Rocksteady will last long enough to give us another game.
Re: The Final Suicide Squad PS5 Ending Is a Real Sorry Sight
@Max_the_German I think Fairgame$ is going to be quietly cancelled.

Re: Game of the Year: Push Square Readers Write About Their Favourite PS5 Games of 2024
My choice for GOTY is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Astro Bot is a close second, but IMO, FF7 Rebirth is the best game of the generation so far.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5 Action Game of 2024
Interesting choice, pushsquare. But hey, whatever. My choice is Stellar Blade.

Re: Eve Is a Festive Firecracker in Stellar Blade PS5's Surprise Xmas Update
Stellar Blade's director was just at Naughty Dog. Looks like Eve might influence Intergalactic.
Re: Naughty Dog Turns Off Intergalactic PS5 Trailer's Comments As Discourse Turns Nasty
This just drives me crazy. It's been so hard to find any videos actually discussing and breaking down the trailer. 99% of the videos are just incels crying about how the game is woke and Naughty Dog is finished. It's tiring.
Re: Astro Bot's Free Festive DLC Level, Winter Wonder, Is Now Available on PS5
Spider-Man is finally in Astro Bot. Now we just need Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Squall and the library is complete!
Re: Astro Bot's Free Festive DLC Level, Winter Wonder, Is Now Available on PS5
@SrpskaArtilerija I'd be shocked if we were to get some Rockstar themed bots.
Re: Talking Point: Would You Want a Steam Deck-Like Portable PlayStation?
I would absolutely play a portable PS5 that could natively play games even if they were at a lower resolution.

Re: Rumour: FromSoftware Classic Getting the Remaster Treatment
Another day, another Bloodborne remaster rumor.
Re: All The Game Awards 2024 Nominees Revealed, Astro Bot Up for 7 Awards
Silent Hill 2 getting snubbed whilst a DLC get nominated is a travesty. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is my pick (closely) over Astro Bot.

Re: 17 Games Land on PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Readding PS3 games is interesting. Also, Dying Light 2 is a big addition.

Re: Sony Promises It'll Launch Major PS5 Single Player Games Every Year Moving Forwards
Yes, it's time for the awful live service push to end.
Re: Death Stranding Gets a Surprise Xbox Series X|S Port, Out Now
Great news. Xbox gamers get to play a great game!

Re: Silent Hill 2 Guide: Full Walkthrough, Puzzle Solutions, and All Collectibles
@Elitepatriot As far as I'm concerned, there is only one FEAR game.
Re: Dragon Age PS5 Remaster Collection Is Unlikely, But 'Never Say Never'
Dragon's Age Origins desperately needs a remaster. The game is borderline archaic on PS3.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5) - A Sublime Remaster of a Modern PlayStation Classic

Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered (PS5) - A Sublime Remaster of a Modern PlayStation Classic
@naruball It is for me. I want to earn the platinum again.
Re: Indiana Jones PS5 Dev Going Very Well, No Comment on PS5 Pro Just Yet
@DennisReynolds It's an Xbox game. We already know the PS5 version will be better.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Sounds Like a Ridiculously Good PS5 Upgrade
Looking forward to this. I love the Horizon series.
Re: Atlus Fans Don't Think Xbox's Marketing Is Doing Metaphor: ReFantazio Justice
