Well, internet made they change Sonic's teeth for the movie. So there is hope we get a real Street Fighter 6 logo.

That countdown was completely unnecessary and the reveal would have been much more impactful if it came without it. I think I even preferred the way the development of GTA6 was announced by Rockstar. It would be good to have a bit of text with an overview of the future of the franchise.

Is No Man's Sky considered a GaaS? If it is, I wouldn't say it is a bad model if done like they are doing.

Tomorrow's live for Cyberpunk 2077 will have to be really outstanding to make me reinstall the game, as I already settled that Elden Ring will be the next game I will play.

I swear I couldn't pay attention on the gameplay because of how similar the music is to the theme of Pirates of the Caribbean.

I guess those almost 10 FPS games that Sony is working on for PlayStation will not have a easy life.

Uhn, no thanks. Why not create a alternative outfit for Tomoe inspired in the Horizon games? It would be a great motivator to start a new game+

Seems like a inexperienced developer, trying to implement personal theories about how the internet works (or should "ideally" work) into a game.

I much prefer a developer like Housemarque, that starts by developing small but engaging arcade games. Then go on to develop a big 3D title like Returnal. This is a developer I can and get excited if they say "our next project will be big and we will use the full capabilities of the PS5"

Rule number 1 for AI in video games: It is not about how good or how much better the AI can play the game in comparison to a human, but how meaningful and fun it is for the player to interact with it inside the game.

9/15. They will say it was luck.

If by excited, Hulst means anxious. Yes, everyone is very excited.

They already have Starfield for this year's "system seller" game. I wonder how it will fare.

So, one is boycotting the game because of how the author is being treated and the other because he disagrees with something the author said. But, in the real world probably neither boycott will work.. if the game turns out to be good, that is.

As someone who loved the single player experience from GTA V (both the sandbox world and the stories missions), but didn't get into the whole multiplayer experience, I really hope to find in GTA 6 a multiplayer mode as fun and engaging as the single player mode.

A suggestion I would give is to make the character we play in the multiplayer mode not to exist in a world separated from the single player campaign. I don't mean the game letting you play with your multiplayer char in the single player campaign, the protagonist(s) should be the stars of the show there, off course. But a nice way to achieve this could be implemented during the heists missions from the main story. During each one, a collection of characters are randomly generated for you to form your team for the heist, after you do that and complete that heist, each off these chars would have a life of their own, and you could select one to play the multiplayer stories and do other online activities. Your online gameplay would also have an impact on the single player mode, the multiplayer character you've being playing will be stronger and have better gear when participating in next heist missions and you'd also see the modifications in their visuals you made in online mode. When the main story ends, as it eventually will, you would already have a multiplayer char that you'd be already familiarized with and all set to go on playing the future online content that will be added to the game.

A 'Just Cause'-like Warhawk game could be good fun.

Fans trying figure out if this will be a good or bad business decision by Sony is madness level futurology. I hope it isn't for Sony executives.

It can both ways, I guess? But it is far from a clear win like was the acquisition of Housemarque and Bluepoint.

I am looking forward to see how(if?) the recently announced PlayStation Tournaments will be used together with Gran Turismo 7. The game have a huge potential to be a key asset for Sony in the eSports world. And it is clear that Sony really wants to expand its presence in it. So yeah.. exciting stuff! Start your engines!

I must say I have mixed feelings towards this Project Spartacus thing, tending to worrisome. If this is something that will add extra costs, PS Plus will stop being a premium service and become a entry level thing. I guess we will have to wait and see what will be offered, but it is more stuff to evaluate the cost vs benefit.

So with every line of hardware from Sony struggling (digital cameras, cell phones, TVs, etc.) except the PlayStation consoles, which is thriving, Sony strategy is spend billions setting up a future where consoles will be irrelevant? Are you serious?

Sony can go to a thousand places. Want to make series or movies with their franchises? Fine, go to town. If it is good, people will watch. But setting up a future where this will all go without the PlayStation console is like a person that sells his house to go travel. I am sorry to say that, but this is what people that just discover that don't have much more time to live do.

No other piece of technology have proven to be as resilient as the video game console (boxes). It existed before I was alive and it is still going strong and stronger as the times passes. There are no lack of attempts to put out options to gaming without console and they all failed. If Bungie acquisition have anything to do with that, whoever made that move, digged the first hole in what will become Sony's grave.

Et tu, Brute?

I prefer the time when the discussion was about 'what game developer X is releasing next' to the current 'who is buying who'. Seems like the actual games is being moved to a minor role. But, as is being said, it is like transfer season. I guess the discussion will shift again when we get closer to the summer with the game developers presentations season.

A partnership between Guerrilla Games and Bungie to create a new Killzone game is exciting to imagine.

Looks a lot like a defensive move. A very strategically important one. I imagine this will be very beneficial for other Sony partners. The amount of know-how and technology they will now have access to from Bungie is huge.
But as a RPG games fan, I am a bit upset that the response from Sony regarding the FPS genre seems to be much greater.

I will assume that is just Sony testing the waters with Discord. But here are two suggestions for the next steps:

1 - Create a official PlayStation server on Discord. The worst thing about discord is how messy a server can become, and with a official PlayStation server, Sony will set the bar on the quality level that is expected to any server that is any how related to the PlayStation/Sony Interactive Entertainment brands.

2 - Work with Discord to release its application for PlayStation and let it be a entry point to the integrations of the functionalities from Discord PlayStation users expect to use.

The fact that they had to put the notice below the controllers (instead of the actual console boxes) speaks volumes.

I already have Planet Coaster (good game by the way) and even if I hadn't, I don't have a PS5. So I guess this is not my month, as I don't find the others games very interesting.

I would love to play a Star Wars game where you play as an imperial agent during the Great Galactic War/Cold War (Old Republic). It would have gameplay similar to that one in the video (Uncharted) and the main char would be inspired by 007.

Tough racket that FPS business.

I will be honest, for a moment I thought that Tiny Tina game was that new one being released and I was like "Hum.. all right.." Then I googled the game by it's name.

I admit it would be interesting to have something like Home to open on PlayStation from time to time. It is a point that I brought on comments before - that PlayStation should work towards giving its users more meaningfull ways to interact between them. Imagine, for example, forming a team in a game like Home to play a match in Ghost of Tsushima Legends. It would add a extra layer of meaningfulness to the team you formed and the match played. Each game would have its own "room" or "space" that could be a generic/default place or customized by the game developer (like Twitch give a page for each game at the so called "Categories"), and players could explore and seamless access the game's multiplayer modes from that space or just interact with others players for a moment. A product like that would give PlayStation a lot of options to integrate services like the "new PS Plus", Discord, the recently announded PlayStation Tournaments and others.

Exciting stuff!

I got the platinum trophy for Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order on PS4 and it is one of the best games I played on the platform. If it had somekind of a multiplayer mode like Ghost of Tsushima I believe I would still be playing it to this day. Looking forward for the reveal of the sequel.

"Perhaps the team’s cooking some kind of alternative to Borderlands, maybe?"
I hope not, honestly. Borderlands' formula is outdated and I think players deserves something new. Look at how Outriders performed. Far from what is expected from a game being developed in partnership with PlayStation.

"PlayStation Enthusiast". I will take it.

The only Watch Dogs game I tried was the second and I don't think I played it for more than a hour. The only thing I remember about it was my char trying to get something under some kind of bridge. Call me crazy but I had much more fun playing Just Cause 3 and 4. I actually finished both games and it have a much more entertaining open world sandbox imo.

I agree with the suggestions to have Dreams on PC. It would be a important step to the game as a development tool. With this port, maybe Sony could work toward integrating Dreams with other development environments like Unity and Unreal Engine and letting developers import/export creations between both.

If Sony play its cards right, Dreams could very well become a place for small independent developers as important as big ones like Steam and mobile stores. But Sony will have to provide monetization solutions for developers that choose to release their creations in Dreams.

Deviation Games is developing a First Person Shooter game based on a original IP in partnership with PlayStation, is what I understand from the articles I read. Off course multiplayer should be a important part of the product.

Firewalk Studios is developing a multiplayer game focused game in partnership with PlayStation, also based on a original IP. Something to compete with the likes of Fortnite, I would image.

The industry has been damaged.

This may "buy" Sony time. Let's see and hope this time will be put to good use by the company.

The trailer gave me the vibes of Aloy saving the Playstation franchise (together with her world) from the "announced doom" scenario that was being painted yesterday after the Microsoft/Activision deal.. was it just me?

I like the single player experiences as much as the next PlayStation user, but Sony doesn't have the luxury anymore of observing from a higher ground games that have as the core of its business model its popularity and user base.

Sony have all the tools it need and a whole lot of options to keep being a major player in the gaming and entertainment business. If it doesn't it will be because of lack of vision and feeling from those in leadership positions.

The commentary section from this article looks like a bunch of people running around and screaming as the ship is sinking. I hope Sony have the minimum level of expertise in business to not make decisions based on who screams the loudest — a rare thing nowadays.

Yep. After the announcement of the Freelancer mode I just had to get Hitman 3 at the current PS Store sale.

I can imagine the developers having a hard time creating a current gen product based on the old Twisted Metal games. Using the same setting as the tv show in the game, while still making it it's own product, does increase its chances for success.

I was looking a post about someone that created a char in The Sims 4 that looked 'exactly' like Christ Hemsworth, the Thor from MCU. It will be cool to see the characters players will create in Elden Ring.

They should make a new game and reboot the Killzone franchise. I became a fan of the orange eyes soldiers after they featured in Astro's Playroom as little evil robot soldiers. They are so "f*cking rad!"

Fortune favors the bold.

After last year's extremely long and tiresome The Game Award with an audience, I am actually glad it will be online only. Hopefully it will be a more compact and packed show.

If there will be no public events, what exactly is E3? How is it different than publishers/developers hosting their individual events independently during a certain period of time (summer or whatever)?

I think creative people that end up somehow on the position of leading a team to work on their ideas should use the Elon Musk method: it doesn't matter how ambitious or completely crazy your ideas are, communicate it in a simple, clear and crisp way.

Nice video presenting the games.
