That's now ten straight years that Sony have brought a game of the year to the table.
2015: Bloodborne 2016: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End 2017: Horizon Zero Dawn 2018: God of War & Marvel's Spider-Man 2019: Death Stranding 2020: The Last of Us Part 2 & Ghost of Tsushima 2021: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart 2022: Horizon Forbidden West & God of War Ragnarok 2023: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 2024: Astro Bot.
I was actually a bit disappointed when Blood Omen 2 was announced for Plus because like @Nem said, I was hoping for a Blood Omen 2 and Defiance remaster.
@Golem25 Well what do you suggest? Should Sony not try? Horizon is a successful franchise but for some bizarre reason it's success gets scrutinized far more then Sony's other games. No one seems to question Uncharted or God of War so what makes Horizon different?
It'll be interesting to see what art style they go with cos I can't see it having the same fidelity as the main games for online, just can't see it been doable.
Chumbawamba's Tub Thumping is a song I associate with late 90's English football culture. Never thought in a million years it would appear in anything to do with Horizon.
It's a good job the commercial short because the second verse goes into what alcoholic drinks they drank, which would make things even weirder.
I found it to be an immense disappointment sadly. Graphically it was pretty awful and while yes it was a beta, it's also a marketing tool that's meant to sell you on the game and Capcom looked at it and thought "that'll do"
But the worse part for me was the ridiculous party system, me and my nephew tried for 30 minutes and we couldn't set it up so we could be in the same world outside of camp.
Partying up in a game should be easy by, send invite...friend joins... let's play but for some reason Capcom makes it way more complicated.
So out of frustration I just deleted the game and told my nephew I'm just going to play Horizon instead.
Cute that people thought Concord would be the end of Sony's live service push. Marathon, Fair games and others are in deep development. It makes no sense for them to keep throwing money and products away because of one flop.
I was halfway through this season's pass when I dropped it for awhile so I came back on it to try and get it done before it goes. After playing ten no build matches and several festival playlists, I've gotten nearly 50 level ups. The quests hand out XP like confetti.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. I bet many of you back in 2015 wanted Guerilla to move onto a new IP, so they did. And after two critically and commercially games you want them to go back.
What makes me so sad about Lance Reddick's passing isn't just that he was a great actor but it was the way he conducted himself. When he played roles like Sylens, not only did he put in a great performance but he treated it like it wasn't just a job and embraced the communities that his work help make.
@Frmknst GenDesign have not released a game in 8 years with no sign of their next game anytime soon. There's wanting something unique but also Sony need games in a timely fashion.
@Jswift56 There's such a weird backlash to Horizon where it's qualities and successes are scrutinized far more then Sony's other games. I have my theories but I'll keep them to myself.
It'll be interesting to see how Nixxes does since this is the first piece of content they've made for PlayStation players since they were bought. And if some of the rumours I've heard is true, then this is only the beginning.
It's all well and good him saying that but if people aren't buying these AA games then there isn't much they can do. Look at Don't Nod, yesterday they announced layoffs because people didn't buy there last two games.
@Keyblade-Dan This is what I'm hoping for too, with Blood Omen getting a straight port and with Soul Reaver 2 been originally a PS2 game as well then the signs are all good.
It's interesting about "unbalanced and proud of it" cos I wonder if you can ever really make a completely balanced fighting game of any kind? And if they could, would you want to play it anyway?

Re: Hawkeye Joins Massive Marvel Rivals PS5 Launch Roster
@MFTWrecks I don't think it is a controversial opinion. I think many have found it a refreshing change from the more realistic MCU aesthetic.

That's good for me, I've been a crew member for nearly a year now. Just wish I can spend my V Bucks on the Arcane set they did.
Re: Vast Majority of Gamers Say Elden Ring DLC Should Never Have Been Nominated for Game of the Year
@Wario_Waha You need a copy of Elden Ring to play it, so no it isn't "separate".
Re: Sony Reportedly in Talks to Acquire Elden Ring Maker Kadokawa Corp
If this were true, bet Sony would have preferred that the news didn't leak in case someone outbid them.

Would be nice if we stopped using Steam for what's deemed a "success".

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Dev 'Heartbroken' by Passing of Venom Voice Actor
I cannot recommend Candyman enough, such a great early 90's horror film.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Dev 'Heartbroken' by Passing of Venom Voice Actor
Just not fair.

Re: Labour Union Blasts Sony for Looking to Further Monopoly with Studio Closures
The CWA should hang out in the PS comments a lot more, them blaming Sony for everything will make them popular here.
Re: Sony Says the Best Time to Get a PS5 Is Now
If Sony exclusively listened to the PS comments then they would be in way more trouble then said commenters would have you believe.

Re: After a Tough Few Months, Sony Says It'll Keep Making PS5 Live Service Games
Cute that people thought Concord would be the end of Sony's live service push. Marathon, Fair games and others are in deep development. It makes no sense for them to keep throwing money and products away because of one flop.
Re: PS5, PC Flop Concord Never Returning, Studio Closed Down
@Sakai Sony aren't going to cancel every live service game just because Concord failed.
Re: Monster Hunter Wilds' Beta Is Prompting Fans to Reconsider PS5 Pro
Capcom's RE Engine has been a largely reliable engine across various genres but sadly it seems it struggles with open world games.

Re: PS5, PS4 Fans Are Worried Cash Rewards Have Been Removed from PS Stars
I've only got the £10 option. It's probably just a bug like it was with ADs on the UI the other week so people are jumping to conclusions again.

Re: These Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Comparisons Are Absolutely Insane
The screenshots should say "should have gone to Specsavers" for those that can't tell the difference or think it isn't that different.
It's obvious to me now why there was some confusion over whether it was a remake or a remaster when the project was first rumoured.
Re: Ubisoft Disbands Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Team After Poor Sales, Claims Report

It seems like it lacks the big technical problems which plagued the Colours remaster which was my biggest concern.
Re: Spider-Man 2 Won't Receive Any PS5 Story DLC
@DennisReynolds Cyberpunk was broken at launch, Spider-Man 2 wasn't. There's a difference between having a few bugs then being unplayable.

Re: LittleBigPlanet 3 Will Be Taken Off PS Store on 31st October
@Americansamurai1 Not sure on that one but Sackboy was a step into a more 3D plain so maybe it could be a open world LBP game. We shall see.
