Anything attached to Naughty Dog has to be extraordinary or people will be let down. The bar is so incredibly high- it's been miraculously raised with every release since Uncharted 2. Every new game they release has to be better than the last, and they must be quite a burden. The only stick in the spokes so far has been cancelling Factions, but who's to say it isn't being integrated into TLOU Part 3? I hope Naughty Dog keeps delivering for everyone's sakes, but how long can they keep raising the bar?

Somewhere someone made a lot of money and wasted a lot of time with the suggestion that Call of Duty needed a nexus point that launched into a number of Call of Duty skews. I don't want to have "Call of Duty" on my home screen and trophy list, I want Black Ops 6! And I certainly don't want Modern Warfare 2 (2)!

I was ready to go all-digital in December 2014 on PS4. If they hadn't bundled GTA 5 in with my PS4 I wouldn't have gotten a disc for years. Only reason I have PS4 or PS5 discs are the deals I got buying them physically

Mr Khayl you have misspelled phasmophobia 2/3 times it is mentioned in the article. I feel a compulsion to help this be fixed

I really like that I can put my captures there and go through 10 random ones every so often, picking one to be the new background of the hub. It's reminding me of so many games and fun moments in them. I think I've got like 7000+ screenshots

Never forget that Blizzard had refrigerators in their offices fitted with padlocks because without them female employees were having their stored breast milk stolen. That's not even part of the directed sexual harassment allegations, that's just how freaky blizzard devs are!

Peter Stornmare again is fire. I will definitely be seeing this movie, Until Dawn is really good and I think it's possible to have a great film out of it

@Bentleyma I think it effectively is making the 60fps mode the must-play mode, but they're going to give people the choice to REALLY juice up the visuals at 30fps if they so desire.

Hope it's better than the movie!

My money's on the studio with the writer/universe creator & key artist with NetEase funding. That sounds like the ingredients needed to really build something special again

@Max_the_German it's not about nostalgia, it's about time and place. Uncharted 2 is not some powerhouse game compared to what we get today, but back then it was revolutionary in many ways. A totally impressive, amazing spectacle that was a must play

@Bobtheking oh no, I only got a few weeks of fun out of my new multiplayer game. xD

Betcha $100 he loses to Holly Furman

This game would have benefitted from some radio silence. Why tell us in 2021 you're working on a game for 2026 that may get cancelled before we even see it?

Can I get a $10 upgrade to a PS5 Pro version with 4k 120fps? Pls? Too much?

I'm very excited. I've already clocked 200 hours on the PS5 version that came out this year and I'd love to be able to play No Return in fidelity mode with high frame rate. Behind parts of Alan Wake, this is still the most gorgeous visual design I've seen in a game. The fidelity it has is only eclipsed by Horizon Forbidden West, which just has absurd 4k detail.

I'm dying for the list of PS4 games that are enhanced

I've heard only good things about the game, but that state of play snippet shown looked pretty bad to me in the cutscenes. I will probably jump right in to this game on release if it gets around or over an 85

@riceNpea yup. I'd say 80% of people typing stuff on the Internet about games or consoles don't even end up interfacing with them.

Best game ever made. Can't wait to experience the PS5 pro enhancement

@nessisonett It's me- I'm gonna replay them again for the second time this year in November on the pro. 500+ hours across the many versions of these two games...

Can someone who played the game deeply explained what micro transactions are pushing these numbers? Is it $20 skins like fortnite? Is there a currency you buy to upgrade things? Is it gameplay affecting or just cosmetic?

@BecauseBecause yeah sometimes switching from English to a more appropriate language for the setting is just better because of that reason. Like Russian in Metro Exodus or Japanese in Ghost of Tsushima

@nessisonett yeah true, maybe it was Ukrainian. Good vo work

@MrPeanutbutterz why'd you even reply with this negativity , Jesus

If you're reading this do not sleep on Chernobylite. It's a B level production, but really pulls out an A level performance for me. It has true to life scanned environments from Chernobyl and plays like a combination of Fallout 4 with the base building & Metro with the game play. Put the Russian language on and give it a chance

This is a luxury item for hardcore players that can afford it, and I fully expect it to sell extremely well even at $700. The PS6 will probably be $600 and people will balk, but it will be on par with PS5's price adjusted for inflation, I expect. For me to pull the trigger on this purchase I need more information about PS4 backwards enhancements and information on how NEW PS5 games will be enhanced with the Pro. If Death Stranding 2 is 4k 60fps with full Ray Tracing I won't be able to resist...

@Xbox_Dashboard don't forget every new PS5 first-party release going forward, and probably a lot of third-party games too

Wasn't that the exact description of the PS5 pro that leaked? The journalists wrote about how it had an adidas--esque streak...

This sort of "Return to form" resurgence the series seems to have had here with this title reminds me of WWE2K22 and how that did a simar "back to basics" and succeeded.

If the Last of Us Part III is $100 I would buy it in a heartbeat

I always played the Metro games in Russian. That's just the way it oughta be, so I feel like I will definitely dip into the Sicilian for this one

I have almost 500 hours on it for the PS4, did 100% the trophy list. The game was fantastic. It pushed you to be very methodical and it really hooked me on soulslikes. It was my gateway drug to bloodborne that same year. The PVP was really fun. No other game they've done has cooler lightning effects, too. I just think the game has probably aged poorly just because all the newer entries play much more smooth and have less jank. I think a Demon's Souls esque remake of DS2 would go super hard, though.

The gameplay and vibes from Chernobylite 1 are sweet. It's a pretty unique game. Felt like a blend of different mechanics from Metal Gear, Fallout 4, and Stalker. I think the weakest part is the storyline, but the story also did introduce you to cool environments. Returning to their constructed exclusion zone with more freedom will work well, I think. I'm excited!

The biggest sadness of my gaming career is no factions 2. I just pray they use all that work and tack it on as a multiplayer suite alongside Part 3.

I'd love to have an excuse to think critically about games I love and practice writing. Then again, people are going to write some vapid, frustrating ***** and I will definitely be tilted by some takes...

I'm confused why we still don't have a release date. They've been saying so much, but I just don't know when I'll get to play it

You should probably mention the release date in the article

I'll probably be very happy playing the game, too. Right up to the moment where the antagonist opens their mouths and I once again feel the pain of unskippable cutscenes.

Thanks, IGN. Must've given the team a 7/10 too much employees

Does it have local co-op yet? Because I think the PC release didn't. It's ridiculous but true. Please someone let me know it has or will have local co-op...

Well no need for me to be rooting for him, then. After all, the man can certainly root for himself!

These all sound like good changes. Playing icons in career mode is a good update, but I wonder if you can sign them as a manager too or if it's just as a player career?

Four employees out of 166 are being retained?What is the business with only 4 employees? An excuse to pay the four of yourselves? What am I missing?

I loved the first game, but playing this on PC was a disappointment. As you say, a letdown for purists. I'm interested in the possibility of them adding mod support for console though, since they released the modding assets on PC recently I believe. The mods on Steam for the first game add some amazingly fun characters.

@nessisonett it's always the FGC fans, man

@PuppetMaster "look within" is a lovely deflection from criticism of a government that murders it's own own citizens for what they say or who they love. I'm lucky my own country's government protects my freedom of speech and expression. Its actually rare to find those protections outside the west, and I know from experience!

@wiiware freedom of speech and freedom of expression should be protected by government, and the Saudi government kills people for those things. Western values include human rights, so if you want to tell me that part of a culture includes fragrant disregard for the rights of man, then that culture ought to change and certainly does not warrant respect. Saudi government is a bunch of thugs and I'm glad I can speak that without being thrown in prison

Every single person you see on an esports broadcast at this event compromised their morals for the bag. And most are huge hypocrites over human rights abuses. Disgraceful for Epic and Capcom to work in Saudi. Expected from Riot games, though.

I didn't think it played well, but I hope it's better next week.
