@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

As far as I can tell every single calling card and emblem uses AI to check the artist's work or create the piece from scratch

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.

@Northern_munkey blocking your boss doesn't work on bosses worth blocking- you're gonna get punished somehow . They have the power...

@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

Most disappointing thing of the PS4/PS5 generations. I was waiting since 2015 for it, was promised it in 2019, and they took it away in 2023...

@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

Lightning better have a full art gorgeous card

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 down to play it, but by that point I'll still be playing GTA6. Can anything compete with GTA6?

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.

That's a bit depressing. I know I'd be eating a lot more sushi dinners and spending more time away from work if I made that bank

IT'S FALLOUT NEW VEGAS 3! THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON 2 FOR YEARS ))))) xd

Putting Bluepoint on Bloodborne remake? PS6 launch title ALA Demon's Souls? Big if true

Yeah this season is looking really good, the amount of things coming exceeded my expectations. Let's see if they deliver!

@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?

Every Push square reader's contribution to Sony's Remasters still wouldn't generate enough cash to cover the failure of Concord.

@get2sammyb Have you played Double Exposure yet? Is it worth checking out for fans of the series?

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

@_John_Doe_ I didn't ask you . You probably haven't even played it

Kanye has great taste in art. He's absolutely right I think . Played thousands of games and I still think Part 2 is the best

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

The First Berserker beta was insufferably boring

Yet another piece of evidence of poor decisions made about this game post-launch. Cannot believe this won best ongoing game- they really keep shoving the stick in their own spokes.

This is also the first game awards to make me laugh out loud multiple times. The Muppet jokes about Kojima and Jeff Keighley were amazing because I did not expect them to be allowed to go that hard haha

Time to farm some noobs

I said this here on an article talking about how the multiplayer Division project was shuttered to put full support behind Xdefiant, and I complained about how Xdefiant wasn't going to be good, and it would just get shut down itself. I was right, and it's all about opportunity cost. The opportunity cost of Xdefiant is huge, and that's frustrating.

The problem is they have been so limited in offering personalization that this is like water to a woman dying of thirst. You can't just take the water bottle back and pretend like it's fine. What I want them to keep are the sounds specifically, I haven't even really seen the startup screens because I put my console in rest mode, or when I turn it on it's faster to start than my TV is- so I don't even witness the startup.

I cannot believe 30% of the votes and a majority of the comments are saying it's a crap selection. This is a very good month. It Takes Two won Game of the Year for a reason- it ***** rocks. Sorry if you don't have anyone to play it with! Doesn't make it a bad selection. Temtem is a game I've been interested in for years because it's supposed to actually be good a good Pokemon game, it got good reviews. The Alien game is supposed to be one of the best tactical RTS games around, and it looks awesome and has a great setting. All three of these are very good!

Tinykin is great, and Prodeus is fun and cool as hell. May need to jump into that Final Fantasy game

That would be the most unbelievable waste of resources for such a high profile IP I can think of. And I'm not just saying that because I just platinumed the game this year

Do not underestimate the power of PlayStation

From the couple people I know with thousands of hours on PayDay2, as well as my own day one experience, this game is an extreme letdown. One of the more botched sequels in history.

It should be allowed to be in the conversation, but the critics need better taste. Because this isn't a dry year, Stellar Blade, Silent Hill, Space Marine 2, etc. deserve the spot

After Alan Wake II this is totally deserved. I'm excited to see what Control 2 will bring to the table- hopefully some better gameplay and characters. Jesse is not that interesting to me

Why the hell not? DLCs and Remasters are going to have to be extraordinarily good to compete with actual Game of the Year contenders, but I'm comfortable with them being in the conversation. If Phantom Liberty had released during a really dry year I would have been fine with it winning Game of the Year, but that sort of circumstance may never happen. Even if another year like 2014 rolls around, another Dragon Age Inquisition will probably still be more deserving and end up winning above a remaster or DLC.
