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.

@LifeGirl Your comment would make sense if it didn't run counter to how Black Ops 6 actually works. I just mean that leveling up directly unlocks more mechanics and weapons, so doing so faster is actually a way to increase the fun you're having by getting different weapons, lethals, tacticals, score streaks, attachments, field upgrades, etc. Double the speed means quicker access to more fun.
You're also unaware that this Cod truly doesn't have any perks that are above the rest, so prestiging is only relevant to losing access to the rest of what goes into your loadout (and scoretreaks). But when you prestige you get permanent unlock tokens now, so after my first prestige I used mine to get my favorite weapon that is unlocked at max level so now I will always have access to it when I prestige. As Liam said, this Cod also has the most alluring and "best" prestige system I've seen to date.

The day after release I tried the Last of Us Part I & II and didn't realize it but Part I's pro patch hadn't even shipped yet. Thankfully that was the case, because I didn't think it looked that enhanced- but after the update it certainly does. Anyway, it has been annoying games are marked but don't have the update. The Callisto Protocol supposedly is getting one and I thought it already had it, so I was disappointed there too. I'm putting dozens of hours into Black Ops 6 before it even gets the pro update too, I think.

Fall of Man was the first game I played on my PS3 Christmas '06. Played four-player split screen with the family. I loved that game, and I especially remember the opening to the campaign being very memorable because of its disturbing yet intriguing monsters. I can still recall Cole desperately clawing the little bugs off his clothes as he and his unit were infested

Walked into the dining hall with Quality+RT and it ran at sub 30fps . Disappointed, tbh . The performance mode looked pretty crisp and ran way better though.

It looks and runs gorgeously. I was most impressed with clothing textures but above all the foliage. There's some moss on top of the school in Seattle that looked completely photo-realistic but completely 3d and natural to the scene. If you want to jump around and see how things are looking I suggest playing some encounters.

I'm already waxing poetic to the wall about the smooth sounds eminating from my new console. I agree- this is truly a killer device. CINEMA

This game is going to be one of the most consumed pieces of media in human history. It's going to sell an unbelievable number of copies, and it will be in the zeitgeist like nothing else we've seen

I think this game is maybe the best example of waiting to buy a game until it's fully optimized- maybe behind Cyberpunk 2077. I feel like I've been rewarded waiting to buy this, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, etc. just because they're getting PS5 Pro enhancements

$20 is a ***** steal! What an amazing game

Every day my purchase of the Pro is further rewarded

@FantasyExplor3r88 "huge remedy fan" that's simultaneously praying on their downfall for one's own gratification. Sound

It saddens me to hear this if only because it means many people didn't play the game. Words can't explain how amazing this game is- I'll be playing through it again with the PS5 pro patch this month feeling bad for those blissfully ignorant of its magnificence.

@mountain_spider the studio doesn't exist anymore

There's a reddit post which has tracked 90 so far. I think you have around 70 here

I've got a 4k TV and the PS4 games I'm most excited to see if they get some polishing are Darkest Dungeon 1 & Witcher: Thronebreaker. These are pretty static games with a lot of staring at UI and Darkest Dungeon 1 looked pretty low fidelity when I last played it. I'm just interested to see if the resolution is upscaled towards 4k in a noticeable and perhaps significant way

I just bought the game and I'm excited to run some MP and Campaign this weekend . Hard point, Kill Confirmed, and Domination only. Gotta keep people moving around the map . FFA and TDM has always had camper problems

I mean PS5 has the largest and most impressive catalogue of great games of any console ever. Partly because it has so many generations of amazing games playable on it

@nessisonett because one of the endings of that game has a character die, so now I know they can't show up in this sequel. It's pretty straightforward to see where I'm coming from if you've played the first game and seen both endings .

@DennisReynolds with the risk of sounding rude, how can revealing how the ending of the previous game is treated in the sequel NOT be a spoiler? Before I read his comment I didn't know if Chloe was going to show up or not, now I know she can't show up at all.

This is one of my favorite series. I've seen a lot of poor reception for the first game and Before the Storm, so I still have hope I will really like this one. I am sad that this and the new Dragon Age may be disappointing, I really thought this was going to be a really standout week for release but it seems that may not be the case.

@nessisonett I wish you hadn't said that, that is a spoiler for me.

@Th3solution yeah that's a pretty clutch one, and you understand how to use it already

@Th3solution need to invest in + multiplier combined with x multiplier. Once you get a joker with like x2.5 and you get a nice base mult you're gonna snowball high scores

@Jrs1 @Th3solution you guys just need to keep it up as you'll unlock more jokers as you play and you'll just naturally get luckier in some runs. You will definitely get millions of score if you just keep playing
