This is going to be a really important time for the history of this game, because not it gets a proper review period not plagued by bugs . The first game's review copy was given out too early and it hurt the game because the day-one patch fixed a ton of issues reviewers had

@JohnKarnes lmao you're not a sane person

My first impression is disappointed. Look at the vibrant greens and blues of OG Oblivion, then look at the drab browns in the UE5 screenshot. Not flattering...

I want the game, but man this is a bad time for it. And if it's really releasing the last week of April, it MUST be revealed this week. I cannot imagine them not giving it at least a week to build up hype (unless they know it's a bad product).

Wait why does the game's font look exactly like Darkest Dungeon 1+2s'? I think there's a hole to be filled with a Darkest Dungeon 1 style game, because I really felt letdown by DD2 deviating so far from DD1.

I have them- and they're nice. I like most of them, but a couple don't really have good fidelity to match my 4k screen. My favorite is probably both Ghosts games & Rift Apart (even though I haven't played it yet).

@wildcat_kickz yeah when shooters get old they remain full of old head try hards like me, so they could definitely use an influx of noobs I agree

Battlefield 1 getting an influx of players might be fun. Not sure how the servers are right now, but it's a great game. I hope they're giving out all the DLC with this package, too.

I actually lost a couple No Return unlockable skins I had to pay for again, thankfully only like 50 points of skins- could've been many hundreds. I also lost all the upgrades I'd gotten after returning to a suspended No Returns run. Not a big deal since it affected just the one rogue like run. I'd hate to lose upgrades in a grounded campaign save like many did.

@Stragen8 agree. It's in the sweet spot between Morrowind and Skyrim along the curve of less RPG elements per Elder Scrolls release. My favorite game as a kid, still one of my top all time

I would be angry if this happened to me mid-playthrough. And it might make the platinum go from 2-4 playthroughs depending on where someone is in the process. I'm not sure if I wanna risk launching the game right now to play the new No Return content if doing so could mess up my saves... Or maybe my saves would only get messed up if I play campaign? And is this happening to 100% of players or just a minority?

Lime green is criminally underused. Big fan of the color. Big like green enthusiast, here. I enjoy it

It's may become direct competition if 1) that new FromSoft game is a must-play or 2) if PlayStation launches a handheld Switch/Steam deck competitor. Right now Sony's just happy someone else increased game prices first.

@JP80 lmao this is a fire point and a good roast

It's time to pick a lane. Either video games *are" the most amazing art and entertainment medium that exists, and they're completely fantastic and worth paying for, or they're not. Put your money where your mouth is. Games are cheaper than they've ever been relative to quality and including how they go on sale over time, and for a few dollars more Ghost, GTA, DS2, etc. are all gonna be totally worth the money. There's no goddamn way you people are this frugal in all aspects of your life...

"There have been no behind-the-scenes leaks beyond somewhat vague job listings"
Wrong, Rob!
It was part of the NVIDIA leak, I think.
But I know it was in the court documents later on from the Activision acquisition scrutiny. It was planned for 2022 in that document I believe, but then COVID happened. Still, 2025 doesn't sound wrong to me. But bottom line, we know the project existed before- does it exist still? Good question

You know what PS3 titles I want access to? Mod Nation Racers remastered. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Oblivion. Fallout 3. Fallout New Vegas. Orange Box anyone? Portal 2? ***** it: give me a complete Rock Band collection and new kits. Black Ops 1 re-release would slap, too.

@Wilshiire talk about weight on the guns- that shotgun looked, sounded, and felt like you just fired a medieval giant 20 ton cannon you're carrying around. And then you cock it like a badass

Will I get my coveted re-release of Oblivion with trophies... This is all that's on my mind every day this month...

@Czar_Khastik you are on a roll with these comments hahaha

Probably spinning the planned dlc into the tapestry of the sequel. Heads down, focus up. A sequel is where the real money and zeitgeist lies. A DLC as mediocre as I know this games' would be is snooze-provoking.

I want TLOU3 so badly, but its release will be disappointing as hell if it doesn't release with/after Factions 2. My god Neil give us factions, please. I've been waiting since ya'll promised in 2019...

Witcher 4 has a real problem- how do you follow up a classic, what's the outcome? Incredible pressure there. I'm thinking the last games with that much pressure were TLOU2, Starfield, and maybe?? Halo Infinite.

My thoughts? It's in my top 10 forever. Got me into Dark Souls 2, then 3, then Nioh, then Mortal Shell, Demon's Souls remake, Sekiro, Elden Ring, etc. etc. I've platinumed all the from soft soulslikes except Dark Souls 1 and they're all great, but Bloodborne is peak- the setting, the gameplay, the sound and music all excellent. I'm happy with a remaster

This isn't a problem for me, because I detest Dave the Diver. It is simultaneously really cute and fun, and completely awful. It has the worst boss fights in any game I've ever played. It should have been about fishing and running the restaurant, yet it is consumed by poor puzzles, boss fights, and combat.

YES! THE MOST UNDERRATED GAME MODE OF ALL TIME IS GETTING NEW MAPS AND CHARACTERS. I'M HYPED!

Well, I want to play Animal Well, ZAU, Nour, and Kena but I've been putting them off... Time to pause the dragon Age playthrough...

Soooo... Does this mean they know the game will be poorly received? And is that because they know it's a "poor" product, or because they know everyone loves to viscerally hate Ubisoft?

@Ultimapunch they murdered it with Life is Strange 2. True colors was a resurrection, and I want to play Double Exposure but it's just damn expensive and I know I can wait for sales

@Boxmonkey your last sentence is completely wrong. Just look at PlayStation store sales prices for any first-party Game on PS3,4 or 5. They all go down way below half-off

This is S rank nightmare fuel for trypophobics.

I would guess a Socom game, because those were third-person shooters and Outriders/Gears fall into that category. I know Colin will be very interested in this project since he enjoyed Outriders so much. I thought it was fine, promising even. I'm excited for this project for sure

Reddit "news" is not News. Booo!

I am getting very physically excited by the prospect of this. I grew up on Oblivion, and it is supremely special to me. Some of my most earnest memories are different times and places I played Oblivion. It was absolutely mind-blowing in 2006. This was the first time I had played a game and realized video games could take you to a different world, could be made on a whole different level than sports games like SSX or little pocket Gameboy Pokemon. Oblivion is a true outstanding achievement and mark in the sand for what video games could be. After Oblivion a game like Cyberpunk 2077 was something I began to daydream about, and before it I didn't see a path to great games. It took almost a decade before I played another game that had the same perspective shifting power, opening up of my horizons. Those games were the Last of Us PS4 and Bloodborne. I would die happy with just a 4k re-release with trophy support- anything more than that, if handled well, is a dream! I just tend to agree with Todd Howard that this game captures a time & place, and doesn't need an overhaul.

@Confused_Dude I am left confused to what exactly changed with the ladder match mini game. You mention it changed twice, but now how it changed. I also wish you had spoken a bit about if/how the actual moment-to-moment gameplay has improved or which specific likenesses are better this time around...

Control is very interesting visually and has good ideas, but I found the gameplay pretty frustrating and shallow. The Alan Wake dlc was a tragedy to play, even though it had really intriguing new enemies the combat was just ass. I had no idea Hideo had a cameo. I guess that means our world is one of many worlds

Ok, but if I buy R6 Siege will the new Siege X revamp apply to it soon or am I getting on the 10 year old version and it's being aged out.

I platinumed THPS 1+2, and I can't understand the implications of this until I see it. I guess this means they have different challenges in the levels than they originally did because there will now be the 2 minute time constraint? I don't view that as a problem, but I can understand that a fan of the original would not like the change.

I'll need to see a roadmap, because if this platinum is 10 hours then I'd be interested, if it's 30 then hell no. Just depends

Looking good, but my controllers can only last for max 2 years so I wish it were a Dual sense Edge

This is a massive problem in my opinion, but I don't think it will affect sales or reception... I just would really enjoy jumping into Gears 2 & 3 multiplayer again with other people also "new" or returning to the series (we are rusty). If you go play new gears multiplayer now everyone playing are absolute demons, phenoms

I'll self-unalive myself if I don't get another TLOU game. I don't NEED part 3, but I NEED Factions and I NEED another new entry. The obvious place to draw from is the 20 years between 0 day and when Part 1 starts. There's so much to draw from there

@KeanuReaves I didn't say they wouldn't be working with Naughty Dog still, I'm discussing the alternate reality where Intergalactic gets paused while Naughty Dog and these devs finish Factions

Presumably some of these people would still be employed and working on Factions in an alternate reality- a (fact?) which I will lament annoyingly at every opportunity on internet forums . No Factions is truly the worst timeline. Please God Factions with or after Part 3

Best Saber getting the bag. It's the unpopular opinion I think, but the song is not that great- and that Superbowl set was horrible. Kendrick's albums have only gotten worse since Section 80 imo . Drake's disstrack Family Matters was better: "Kdot sh** only hitting when Baby Keem put his pen to it"

My friend enjoyed this game so much we played through the whole thing in one sitting on a Saturday. The multiplayer is surprisingly decent, it reminds me of old PS3 multiplayer suites when every game had multiplayer included. It felt like it could use more content and depth, so hopefully the rebalancing and reworks enhance that mode

Collaboration with Nicholas Winding Refn? That's ***** awesome! Heartman from Death Stranding (in appearance). Plus coming from 100 strong former 4A is exciting!

In my opinion you should put the voice actor's names in the article headline instead of their characters', but that's just my opinion.

@KundaliniRising333 boy was that comment a hard read. Calling Metal Gear "wonky anime infused geopolitical melodrama" is hilariously short-sighted and ignorant imo . Have you even played MGS2+3+4+5?

@nessisonett there is nothing new under the sun... History repeats itself and just changes the time and place . I think you make a good point about the free speech possibilities... Maybe there will be ideas of "mind viruses" which has become a politically charged term , but in psychology ideas are known to spread and infect like a virus. Men like Higgs spreading falsehoods or fear mongering. Or it could be more "out-there" and lean into the strange concepts of people's Beaches, BTs, and how connecting people is increasing entropy in the world. I bet there will be an even heavier lean into children and/or BBs. Maybe some fertility and birthrate subject matter, too? Really looking forward to more Hideo
