Oh no!....anyways

Iran said no oil and no games. JK people

I don't know if their marketing dept or game news media just set the hype bar so high that it could never jump it. It was really strange to see a game nobody had really never seen, receive so much attention.
Had none of that happened maybe this turned out to be just a good game, instead of the failed potential of GOTY everyone seemed to be making it out to be.
Someone has some 'splaining to do.

I think we'll get to a point where every game, that was ever a hit, has been remade or remastered. Just a matter of when.

That article title says exactly how I've felt about this game from the very first time I heard of it. It's gonna be a homerun or a miss.

I pretty much jump on AAA+ games day one, so it is most likely not impacting me. Not sure PS Store is first place I'd shop for slightly older games, but I also understand that for all digital owners shopping around isn't an option. One of the main reasons I went with a disc model.

Sounds enough like a live service game to turn me off. Enjoyed the base game, I'll probably just leave well enough alone

Why can't we have single player games that look like this? Because, my dear child, they don't sell, or keep selling you stuff you want but don't need.
Ohh....

The new lead is Atreus. It was even alluded to at the end of GOW Ragnarok that he was going his separate ways on a new adventure.

Hope the team rises from the ashes and becomes very successful with one of Sony's competitors. The talent is there, Sony can't take that away from them.

@Reeneman I remember 360 fondly as well, especially swaddling it neatly in a blanket trying to get rid of RROD

I know we can count side scroller off our remake wish list.

Let's all just pretend this never happened. I knew the moment I saw the reveal. Looks like they were going for the Prince of Persia feel with a GOW badge. Doing two things poorly at the same time. I'm going to just tell myself this never existed.

So, no weapon or character stat progression?

A 7 was the ceiling of what I was expecting after the reveal. Way too stacked of a first half of 2026 to be dropping into 7s. Hope some people enjoy it, but nothing about this screams "buy me now"

I'll be controversial, he isn't wrong. It looks horrible. Maybe I'm pleasantly surprised but the aesthetic isn't clicking with me.

Would be nice but zero chance, given the amount of development time that would take. Well, unless they really make you guys mad, and use AI.

I feel like the pandemic really stifled this generation and we haven't really seen the full extent of what this gen can do. Also, given RAM and other component prices, nobody really wants to think of an $800 console. (My guess of what it would cost if it was released in this environment.)

"...whether the remake adopts the gameplay style of the new God of War titles, or whether it'll stick to its old fixed camera, hack and slash formula from the PS2 and PS3 days."

Almost zero chance it is the the former, and if it was, we won't be seeing it for years

@StitchJones I don't really recall a front half of a calendar year so stacked with games. Feel like for some reason, everyone is trying to avoid the back half of the calendar

@Porco A lot of extenuating circumstances. I'm going to listen to this review, that acknowledges certain aspects and then judges the game on its merits

Honestly, this was the biggest disappointment I had watching it. Not because I think the game will be bad, but because I thought it would be a mainline game. Way too big of a tease to set this up. This looks okay... I guess?

If we stack it against the last few years, excellent. Didn't seem to be full of shovelware

Maybe lack of marketing, or I had my head in the sand, but the very first time I even heard of it.

MIGHTREYA sounds like one of those made up names of Amazon stores

The fact people(?) on Twitter, X (or whatever we are calling the platform this week) are acting all happy about this announcement leads me to believe the AI Overlords have truly taken over.
Well everyone, reality and freedom were truly fun, while it lasted

Homer Simpson Your last LEGAL chance...

Judging from the reviews, that's probably for the best.

The fact he is that young shows they plan on making this a long term series

@AdamNovice Which is how long it takes to climb

Trails Beyond the Horizon. It's a great game but like all Trails games, it can be very long. Anyone able to play these games without the (thankfully added) High Speed mode, truly has the patience of Job

@Balaam_ or it's a typo

I tried the first, didn't click. Heard the second game was better. Tried it and it still didn't win me over.
The fact this franchise was shown 10,000 yellow daffodils, isn't surprising, at least to me.

It's not even April

Gonna be cautiously optimistic. I saw a bit of Ubijank in it, but hopefully it all comes together.

@RoomWithaMoose Our only hope is our AI Overlords do a better job than we did.

Pretty sure game sites and critics are already judged based on their audience. If you lose enough face, you'll lose your members, click rate, etc.
I can think of a certain gaming site I lost all faith in (starts with a K). There was a time when it was great, then it leaned heavily into everything I try to avoid, with gaming as a side note.

@RagnarLothbrok and they'll simultaneously blame that for the game failing to sell

I had a feeling...

Trails Beyond Horizon. This is my filler game until a very stacked February

We all know why they are review bombing the demo on Steam. Almost certainly nothing to do with the actual game

@themightyant I've spent a lot of time in some of them but I found a good paid game as the way to kick the habit.

@themightyant You're kidding right? That's insane. Clearing out their accounts? Yikes. That's not a bug, that's seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen, even if they are paid back. I'm so careful what I link to Paypal. I'd rather fight a bad credit card charge than have something like that happen. I'd also advise people to periodically check whatever links theyve made in the past to companies. DO NOT leave those active, if you are no longer using it.

@nomither6 Honestly, while I would love for that to have worked out, I'm sure Judge feels the same way I do after being out of the Marines for 30 years. Would it be cool to be to get back in? Yes. Could I physically do it? Hell nah

Ryan Hurst was one of my top 5

TCL makes great budget televisions. I'm a little confused, though, does this mean we will no longer see TCL on TVs? TCL has the control with the Sony name?

@PerpetualBoredom Seemed pretty barren, so that makes sense.

@Balaam_ I must be in the general public, I tried Elden Ring (and gasp) it didn't click for me. Glad to see anyone enjoy a game but it just didn't hit, for me. Felt like work instead of entertainment.

In an era of remakes, remasters, retrogrades, and endless sequels, it is refreshing to see an original IP take home the gold.
