Look cool but I wish they didn't put real life actor as the protagonist, I don't want to hear actress blabbing about how they see themselves as the protagonist, the players are the protagonist.
And I just tried the shinobi rage art of vengeance demo, and it's great. Man I can't believe we're getting great 2D ninja games both nearly at the same time
@PuppetMaster Nice, I forgot some games use regional pricing in psn store, in Indonesia pc steam store pricing is really cheap since nearly most game using regional pricing (with additional 10% launch discount), but annoyingly games in psn Indonesia rarely use it. I wish most psn games use regional pricing.
Edit: Shinobi art of vengeance has regional pricing and 10% launch discount on psn too, nice.
The story and environment of this game in the demo is good, I like that the protagonist didn't explain the story and we just have to connect them themselves.
In the gameplay side though, I hope the enemy is less spammy, they're need so many hits to kill, maybe make them with less hp but more attack power so it's more balanced.
Pc, ps5 and switch 2 make sense, and it seems the next xbox console and portable is just a modified windows 11 pc so yeah, if it's not on gamepass most indie developers would just pass porting their games on xbox consoles.
One of the best sony exclusive for the ps4, I was invested in jin story from the beginning. Too bad the sequel throw every interesting things about the first game, no jin, no mongol, same gameplay, same graphics, sucker punch know what gamers want and say, naah, we don't want to, I'm 100% not interested in this sequel 😕
As long as story is good I love sony movie-like games like uncharted series, spider-man ps4, and ghost of tsushima. The problem is after the end of ps4 era the story become very not good, although it's more like western AAA games story can not be good again. I just don't have hope for western AAA games story and character design 😕
Can't wait for judas, it will be a great game if it's as good as bioshock 1 and infinite. Although I prefer bioshock 1 compared to infinite since infinite feels more like normal shooter game.
Isn't that the game is super not optimized? Even the steam reviews (and people playing it) goes way down after a couple of months and the game is <still> not optimized for pc. At this point I think capcom better focus on monster hunter world instead.
And it's 2025, everybody is getting harassed on twitter, just quit social media if some corporations didn't want to get harassed lol.
At this point just port ps4 exclusive games to switch 2, it will be cool to play ghost of tsushima, god of war, death stranding, etc on switch 2 portable.
Maybe after expedition 33 every western gaming executive thought it's better to hire 33 super talented devs to make game of the year candidate rather than hundreds of normal one to make games that's fails.
I really think what clair obsucre expedition 33 devs do is game changing for this bloated gaming industry.
I think it's gonna be the hardware people (don't need them anymore since next xbox will be a pc) and the studio that still hasn't made games that announced ages ago. Maybe the perfect dark studio, and that studio with zombie games with chicks that screaming at the wolf (for some reason).
@SeaDaVie Of course not all AA games will be successful, but it's still a safer bet for the studio with only 33 people if the game fails compared to going all-in on making 300-500M big AAA games with hundreds of staff.
I bought gow ragnarok near launch, I only play it maybe about 2-3 hours before gave up and never played it again, the story is kind of suck, how can you make god of war games where's the first things you do is run away from enemy boss, story wise is way different than the first game.
What I mean is the sequel usually sells good because of goodwill from the previous games, after tlou 2 and gow 2 I'm very critical of sony sequels and always looks at the youtube LP first, that's why I'm glad I don't believe the hype from spidey 2 and now goyotei. Now it's 2025 and AAA games doesn't have goodwill from gamers anymore, developers how to prove why gamers should buy their games, throwing a lot of money on advertisement and getting good reviews from the gaming press aren't enough anymore (just looks at veilguard and ac shadow).
Edit: Okay I just saw the Don'tnot games that's failed, I this those games just suck, nobody want that kind of games anymore, with that type of characters design.
Looks really good, and I like hugh and diana voice actor, especially diana va because usually children voice is kind of annoying in games. Also the human-like android enemy is a bit terrifying lol.
Prefer dead space style going after the limbs of enemy rather than hacking, but I still want to try this game.
Maybe if the next ps console is digital only, but now as long as we have choice between digital and disc it's still okay I guess.
It's worrying that the digital games price is way more expensive than disc though, the price of games disc in amazon usually way lower than the price of digital games in psn, full price after years unless it's discounted.
Western AAA devs are kind of a mess right now, unlike the japan, korea, and china AAA devs that gave it's employees ps5, ps5 pro and even switch 2. The layoffs will continue until morale improves, I think western devs need to listen to their customer rather than fighting them, or even try to replace them with more "modern" type.
Isn't this is like no man sky planets? I think all of nms planets are generated by the game ai. As long as the game looks and sounds good I have no problem with ai.
After expedition 33 I have little sympathy for 200+ people development teams, if 33 people can make game of the year contender and 200+ people only can make this kind of bug infested game, well, maybe they shouldn't have working in gaming industry at all.
The talented developers that's been laid off can make new games with his/her other 32 friends.
@PuppetMaster Forgot to write AAA games, western indie games absolutely smashing it right now, can't wait for ninja gaiden ragebound, the new shinobi, and that marvel 2D beat em up, it's just that my hype already gone for the AAA stuff they usually make.
Absolutely not hyped for yotei and wolverine because I already now what type of writing and story I'm getting with those two games 😞
This is the uncharted 5 naughty dog should be making instead of whatever they're doing right now, I feel kind of sad for AAA western devs after watching all the exciting single player games that the china and korea are making.
It's super nice that's the first silent hill film director return since the sequel isn't as good, the first movie is way better than the second one. I remember watching the original movie on theatre with friends, and the sequel too.
Definitely should make switch 2 version, I saw steam deck can get 60 fps on x/twitter, since switch 2 is more powerful than steam deck, 60 fps with better graphics than steam deck should be possible.
Also I don't understand people yapping about sexualization this or that, eve is based on real people, and there's no sex scene in stellar blade, unlike in baldur gate 3, witcher 3, cyberpunk 2077, and veilguard. I understand now that sexualization mean pretty girls, western people (not western gamers) won't have problem if eve is like tash in veilguard.
I guess that's why korea devs are getting ps5, ps5 pro, and switch 2 while western devs are getting layoffs 😕
@ZeroSum Sony has become (censorious) nintendo of old, and nintendo has become sony of old (don't like to censor), their position are inverted now.
Hardcore ps fans want AAA 1st party single player games from sony, sony want easy money from casuals with live service games that's more of a digital shop rather than games.
The reason helldivers 2 success is because they made the game first and the money shop second, while games like marathon designed as digital shop first and then games.
I have this both on psone and ps4, the ai in this is just not fun, when I'm in the first place in the race the ai seems suddenly and magically just get past me, it's worse than mario kart 64.
I enjoyed it on psone, I only play maybe 1-2 hours on ps4 although I bought it on launch day 😕
@Lowdefal I didn't play ff online games (11 & 14) so I didn't know the story of those games, but I do feels ff 16 story is more western, more game of throne compared to the story of other ff that I played like ff7, 8, 9, and 10 (I only play a couple of hours of ff 12 & 13 and lost interest).
And while the feature "anytime in the game you can pause and read all the characters story and background" seems neat, it means the story is just too convulted, I never need those when playing ff 7-10.
Maybe the game is too western for everyone, it's different story wise and vibe from the others final fantasy. Bought it on launch day after playing the excellent demo, but after the demo the game is still good but I think not as good as the demo make it to be. And yeah, the game is more like devil may cry lite rather than jrpg.
Unlike other squareenix games like nier automata, from the demo to the game (real) ending, the game is great from start to finish. I'm glad I bought nier automata at full price (on ps4) and not waiting for a discount. I finished the game and got the platinum after playing about 123 hours, a true value for money lol.
Just looks at youtube like/dislike ratio on the game trailers, I don't think there's even one games that sold good when the like/dislike ratio is superbad like concord.
The exception is cod future warfare, but although sold millions it's still less than other cod, and when the next cod move to world war 2 in the next year, that game sold way more than future warfare.
