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.
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!
@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
@PegasusActual93 yeah . A financial failure. Doesn't make it a failure of an art piece . That's why I put quotation marks- it's a failure or success depending on how you are analyzing the game
It's just so sad to me still that The Callisto Protocol "failed". I love the game, it's absolutely awesome and I really enjoy the combat and main character. For me it does lack enemy variety compared to Dead Space on paper, and the boss fights are not excellent... but the visuals, horror design, and gameplay are top for me. It is even better on Pro & with the DLCs. Don't overlook the game. I'm sad the studio is forced to cultivate it's "agility" so soon again :/
This is a really good month! I am actually really happy I get to play Dragon Age this soon, I expected another 12 months at least until it was put into EA play. If I wasn't poor I would've given the game a chance on release. Jaffee and Gene said good things about it
Warhammer 40k is an IP that only gets better in video games form as video games mature and graphics/performance improves. I think that's the case with Transformers, too. In the late 2000s you could never do a PS3 game which could emulate the insane movie CGI of cars transforming back and forth- but that can probably be done pretty soon. I think a new AAA transformers game could be cool.
@Ultimapunch implying Japanese people don't have really creepy aspects of masculinity and patriarchy in their society just shows me you are ignorant to what goes on in Japan
@breakneck they've been leaning really hard into the "universes beyond" sets from other IP since post Covid . Sets like Lord of the Rings and Warhammer 40k did really well
Millions get to witness Days Gone remastered instead of what would have been a Days Gone 2 announcement. This and the failed TLOU multiplayer project I won't forgive or forget until I receive them...
I'm interested, but the Dark Pictures games are ultimately disappointing & I can't imagine they will ever reach the level of Until Dawn again. Though copying The Thing is probably an easy way to have a good game. I just wish more of these actors were interesting to me. I feel like Until Dawn has an AMAZING cast.
I think I'd have fun doing a post like this every time a new sales comes around. I tend to comb through them, and I've played a lot so I could also do recommendations. For example, Dragon's Dogma 2 has been 40% off routinely since at least November of not earlier from what I recall, so I would point out one could wait and have it go on a higher sale later this year
Marvel Snap was down for a couple days in North America and they gave out the equivalent of hundreds of dollars worth of in-game currencies and cards as compensation. I would've happily taken $10 store credit at least to get Wasteland 3 complete edition.
@TimelessJubilee I think the most popular mod on PC makes him available to choose alongside the others- exactly what you're hoping for. I'm now wondering if/when there will be mod support on PS5...
On its face you would assume there's a big gap between controller and mouse users in COD. But actually all the pros play on controller and the recoil patterns for guns on mouse are wilder. I don't know that it really matters too much, but I would have thought the option would have been there already so it's welcome. I'm just excited for Season 2 next week!
Seven Years for Bend, four for Bluepoint. All down the drain. After Concord and cancelling TLOU multiplayer and now this- Sony has a serious problem on its hands. How much of this is Jim Ryan's fault?
One of my all-time favorites, but a remake scares me. The game is a moment in time, and I don't know if its unique look and feel will translate to a modern presentation. I would want a re-release with trophy & mod support.
I've kinda fallen in love with WWE, both the game and some of the shows and wrestlers this year through 2k24 being free on PS Plus. These screenshots are looking great, Cody looks greatly improved, and so does Liv Morgan. I've been a bit obsessed with CM Punk so I'm glad to see he's looking good again. My dream wrestler right now is Jericho but that probably won't happen. The one thing the game could use is better multiplayer support. I've had a lot of problems with their servers and I wish people would watch some of the character intros
This is a complete non-issue for me. I have played easily 20 hours since this bundle has come out and I haven't seen any of these skins used, just the black and green squid games skins. All the squid games skins fit the game in my opinion, too. I don't like the green dragon or the angel-winged suited armor guy. Hell even cartel Santa is more annoying than these. They haven't paywalled anything but cosmetics and probably half the people in my matches have bought a $20+ bundle , so they're taking in tons of money
Naughty Dog derangement syndrome through the roof, as usual. It's gotta be so difficult working at ND. You are expected to raise the bar every single release, and even when you do (TLOU PT 2) you will still get eaten alive for years on the internet.
This is just a rumor, the first strong indicator was the NVidia leak which notoriously revealed many games before they were announced. The real confirmation was the Xbox court document from before Covid showing an Oblivion release in 2022 I think. This is one of my all-time favorite games but if they actually remake it I think it will lose all its charm. I think the best way to treat it would just be trying to get a high-res, good performance port with trophy support and maybe the mod manager.. You've got to keep the original voice lines and preferably all the assets and face models too
The fidelity in Forbidden West is unparalleled, but the art direction in Alan Wake 2 is staggeringly gorgeous, and I still feel like TLOU2 is the most detailed and true to life rendering I've seen.
The current sales have so many games discounted already. If you're like me and your PSN wishlist is full, go over to Platprices.com and you can wishlist as many games as you like. There's also going to be a small crossover time where the previous sales have a handful of hours left and the new sale has also just started, so you could surveil all the games on sale at once and find the best deals. Platprices also shows the discount history of games so you can see if it's the current lowest price yet
