A bit disappointed that The Talos Principle wasn't up there.
Nevermind, just seen that it's made over $20m which is pretty good for a puzzle game where it's story is all about philosophy.

@B0udoir It's from Apex Legends.

@RBMango It's mad isn't it?

I've never known such a high profile game to have leaked as much as it has before it's officially announced. You'd think Bethesda would make a bigger deal about rather just stealth launch it.

The "BOY" mic drop in the level still makes me laugh.

Don't know if I'd be interested in a Belle statue. Now if they did a Nicole, Jane or Caesar.

For those that are wanting a sequel, this could be the perfect time to show Sony and Bend that it'll be worth their time. As far as we know Bend don't have a game in active development so if this remaster does well enough it might encourage them to greenlight a sequel.

@shonenjump86 I wonder if that's why in FC1 they included Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting and FC2 is including Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper as a way to make up for the 30th anniversary mistakes.
Personally I'm hoping they rerelease 3rd Strike online edition again.

@Andee Yeah that 30th anniversary came at the wrong time where Capcom's fighting game division changed leadership after it launched and the new guys clearly give a damn about Capcom's legacy.

At this rate the entire game will leak before it's officially announced.

The extra versions of X-Men vs Street fighter is pretty significant because the one the collection shipped with was essentially the last updated version which removed wall bounces and infinites which the community regarded as a "lesser version." So to have them back is a big gesture from Capcom because they didn't need to do that.

Not sure about the Steam Deck/Vita mock up lol

In regards to a new portable.
I've hoped Sony would do a Deck like handheld that plays your existing library. PS6 will have the majority of it's first two years of game being cross gen anyway so it's a win in that regard.
I also expect it to be digital only, can't see Sony wanting to do carts.

@DennisReynolds Or what the fighting game community calls Monday

Sadly the writing has been on the wall for a while now. Prices have been going up for so many things all over the world for things more essential then a games console. Let's face it the combination of a fallout from a pandemic, global conflicts and not to mention an erratic President who's playing monopoly with the world economy all adds up.

@get2sammyb While I wouldn't put it past them, I've heard a YouTubers who dedicate their entire channel to ZZZ say that they've never won a 50/50 so who knows really.

@get2sammyb Since launch I was able to get a successful 50/50 for every character up to Lighter. Since then I've not had it go my way lol. Luckily I don't pull for Wengines, largely because I think it's cheeky that you have to use the same currency for agents to get their weapons.

Just got Trigger so I'm hoping the 50/50 is kind to me when Vivian drops.

The three game idea was realistically the only way they could do it justice and on a scope that people were wanting I.E. towns that looked like towns and not a few screens from the PS1 era. Yeah there's a fair bit of bloat in both games but that's more of an issue with AAA gaming rather then the game itself.

@Rog-X One swallow doesn't make a summer. Besides I've been able to get discounts on Plus through CDKeys and the like so it's not as if there aren't other ways.

@OldGamer999 The PS4 era was pretty much like that too. It was only the odd year that they had more then one big game.

@Yukairi Tbh I don't think the UI was designed with that in mind. Hence why every game has it's own background. I would love if the PS6 when that comes out brings a version of the PS3's XMB cos I loved at how customisable it was.

That Rolling Stone paragraph summed up the problem I had with TLOU2 in the first place.

@Godot25 I had that problem with Warframe.

@Godot25 Yikes, couldn't imagine how long that would take to catch up.

Good luck to anybody trying to catch up since there's been 8 updates worth of content that was added since release.

I'm hoping that Bungie stick to a narrower scope with Marathon. Destiny being an MMO meant it had to do so many things like story, PVP, raids etc. Whereas if they just focus on making a high quality extraction shooter then it has a decent chance of being successful.

Blue Prince and Talos Principle for me. Just wish it had VR support.

@Mikey856 It's good to confess

I honestly didn't know what the next word in that headline was going to be.

Wouldn't be surprised if this is getting properly shown off in the summer.

@Nepp67 Who you wanting in the game like?

@RoomWithaMoose Mario Kart will be big of course and DK looks great but a Kirby racing game is an odd one next MK and a third Hyrule Warriors game is fine but not up to the hype levels that people might have hoped for.

PlayStation basically made a free pack in game that showcased the system you bought and it was so beloved that they made a sequel that became the definitive game of the year for 2024. In other words Sony out Nintendoed, Nintendo.

Switch 2 will be a big success no doubt but the lack of an interesting lineup compared the first 9 months of the previous console means it feels less of a must have system. Plus the high price for games isn't going to sit well with Nintendo's casual/more family oriented audience.

@devil76 Yes I am considering this is a new system so it's reasonable to expect new games. If you look at the PS5 reveal, outside of GTA5 every other games shown was brand new. Today Nintendo showed about 5 new games in an hour long direct.

Nintendo are really pushing it because they basically charging $80 for handheld games now.

Confirmed by FromSoft that it's a "PVP/PVE" game.

Thought it was a poor showing tbh.

The stream had awful sync issues.

Nintendo continue to have gimmicky controls that's so unnecessary.

Too much focus on ports of games from a few years ago.

Game chat was hardly revolutionary and that framerate on friend's screens... yikes.

No price on stream was a strange choice.

Paid upgrades for Switch games when Nintendo should know better.

Welcome hub being a paid game is a joke in a post Astro's Playroom world.

Lack of big Nintendo games at launch. Outside of MK. At least Donkey Kong is something a bit different

@charbtronic Not really, Sony still get the money since they own parts of FromSoft

It just looks like an uneven hodgepodge of there previous games.

That was my issue with the PS4 games, as well as Parappa, they needed a sync test feature.

So it's Journey: Seth Rogan edition.

Here's hoping for the life and times of Joel Miller

Reminds me of the concept of Kill La Kill with the living dresses.

I wonder if they've been waiting for AC Shadows to get out of the way first before they fully start the marketing push.

@heavyartillery56 Everyone knows that Ubisoft have been struggling. Still doesn't mean that AC Shadows has flopped like you keep suggesting.

@heavyartillery56 Has nothing to do with Shadows's performance. These deals take months to happen.

@PuppetMaster Totoki wasn't talking about Sony lacking IPs but more to do with ones that have worldwide appeal like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pokemon etc.

Giving me Captain America and the Avengers vibes from back in my Mega Drive playing days.

@Dan12836666 I would say the previous 4 PMs were more in need of a arse whooping.
