That Gothic 1 Remake date is surely a placeholder right? Not seen any indication of it being this close to release.
Yeah, not a lot to look forward. None for me if I'm being honest. But can't wait for "Most Anticipated Games of 2025" kind of lists all around. Death Stranding 2, Marvel 1943 and Judas are my Top 3 for now. Couldn't care less about Ghost of Yotei since GoT didn't do anything for me. I hopefully play GTA 6 on release but I am really not excited, just a bit curious.
Not much going on.
I want to finish DD2 and play Nine Sols and Space Marine 2 so looks like I've got time for this
Would be great if Gamesphere would use the opportunity of the physical release to give Black Myth the so much needed PS5 Pro patch.
PSA for anyone looking at the PS5 versions of Resident Evil 2, 3 and 7 (specifically 2 and 7): In an inexplicably poor decision, Capcom has architected these PS5 versions to Auto Unlock only the good portions of the trophy lists when using save data from the PS4 versions.
The horrendous, tedious, god awful DLC’s for RE7 and that terrible survival mode from RE2 do NOT Auto Unlock. How Capcom dropped the ball and did exactly the opposite of what they should have is beyond me. A competent executive decision would have auto unlocked the trash so it could be bypassed without forcing everyone to slog through that mess, while leaving the core game’s reasonable list for an enjoyable replay.
Mostly this week I'm looking for stuff as could be something for the 30 the anniversary, Infinity Nikki, Marvel Rivals and Fantasian
With Black Myth physical later in the month
December (for me) will be all about infinity nikki and some backlog in minor degree
Once again little to no coverage of the upcoming Rugrats game. I'm getting sick of Push Square's anti-Rugrats agenda
@masofdas
My friends and I are excited about Marvel Rivals. I am not into mp games at all but hopefully this will be fun for us all to play together for some future.
Wait fantasian is that close goddamn I hope I can buy it next week
Is Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic coming to PS? I saw it was coming to Switch.
@Balaam_ so you want to get trophys just for buying a game?
@LuXifer Correct. The game (gothic remake) has no release date as of yet. It will not be coming on the 31st of december.
Anyway seems like a couple of needed months of saving for me.
@Balaam_ took that well. I'm glad I don't care about trophies. Seems annoying.
Fantasian Neo Dimension looks like someone used an RPG maker and spent 10 minutes learning how to make a game.
Nothing going on for me except Aliens Rogue Incursion. Maybe dark tide for some brainless shooter fun?
Otherwise just going through some backlog until Monster Hunter Wilds. Maybe some dragon quest 3 if I run out of backlog.
Why is Infinity Nikki not on this list???
Soul Reaver and Power Rangers on December 10th seems like a strange omission.
Fantasian was a lot of fun. Definitely has that old school snes era jrpg vibe. But I don’t think it’s worth 50 bucks. That’s a bit steep.
