@get2sammyb You want to look at all the supermarket simulator games that have been added to the store this year, just because one became really popular on Steam.

@Tecinthebrain At least Sammy can't be accused of having his review been bought. Personally I think he was only there to show off his tatts judging by that first image lol.

Three blockbusters this year had the post apocalyptic wasteland setting. Furiosa, Deadpool & Wolverine and Borderlands and it's going as expected. I just hope it doesn't outdo Furiosa at the bx office cos that will be a bit of an indictment of the movie going audience IMO.

I would love a Lords of Shadow remaster collection, those were some good games.

I haven't played BG3 yet but as someone who's already decided that Karlach is going to be my bae...that thumbnail hurts my soul.

I'm still waiting on them rereleasing Kratos and the Arcane sets, let alone anything from BPs.

@Killionaire Maybe so but it really doesn't matter to us really, we just see burly dudes killing millions of alien life forms for some "probably questionable" cause.

I always had a theory that Meta wanted to buy Insomniac back in 2019 after they made a few Occulus games for them, that might have forced Sony's hand. Sadly RaD are an example of what could have happened.

Their previous games were ABZU and The Pathless and they were really good.

The console is still tracking close to PS4 sales in a more difficult climate. A permanent price cut makes no business sense at all.

I know nothing about Warhammer but me and my nephew might be getting it cos the coop campaign might be the closest thing to a Helldivers campaign.

@get2sammyb I don't think it does, it's sold 60m at full price despite all the economical problems it's faced. Plus like Christopher Dring says "CoD and Assassin's Creed will shift units" not to mention GTAVI possibly coming in the next 18 months.

@KillerBoy And?

I think Square making so many Switch exclusives that have flopped probably has gone into their losses more then FF7 Rebirth. If anything the FF franchise has been propping up their finances.

@QBGaming12 Man that sucks, at least the 50/50 went your way otherwise you would have needed another 80 pulls.

Been saving up on polys, hope my luck holds cos I got Zhu Yuan in my first ten pulls. I'm trying to get as many agents I realistically can without paying.

People forget that that ND have previous on turning smaller projects and turning them into much bigger ones. Uncharted The Lost Legacy was originally meant to be a smaller story expansion that was part of U4's season pass. But it became far more ambitious that it became a standalone release and Sony had to cancel the season pass.
Just an update on Factions was never going to be enough for ND, I always felt they wanted to do something more closer in scale to something like The Division. The problem is how to you get recurring revenue from it that brings in the kind of quality content that ND is known for? Most live service games are set in fantasy or sci-fi settings because they can go crazy on cosmetics for players to express themselves, TLOU can't do that without it being very jarring, the reality is there's only so many shirts, jackets and backpacks you can make without it looking samey.

The biggest sign that will prove if Sony really have overtaken Bungie is when Marathon turns up again...will it still be coming to Xbox.

@ShogunRok Thank you for calling it Tombi

@Deadlyblack No they didn't, the deal was in the works for months before all that. Sony were already looking for a studio with live service experience, Bungie just at happened to be available.

Sad state of affairs to the point that you just feel numb to the situation. The wider industry needs to be more efficient with it's budgets and expectations on their returns.

As for Bungie themselves, their upper management have been making far too many costly mistakes over the last several years that they either turned the ship around or they huge prices had to be paid.

@RBMango I think if Until Dawn 2 is happening it'll likely be made by the remake developers.

The Concord one is the best looking for me.

@Vaako007 That's interesting, I was aware of how that university sports teams are seen as a big deal but didn't know about the what it means to both students and surrounding communities.

For me Raziel has one of the coolest designs in all of gaming imo.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Well you are human

It was the most watched trailer from the last SoP which goes to show that there's a much wider audience out there that Sony has to cater too outside of hardcore single player only bubble.

@smallbrownbike @AldusRavencorn Thanks for the information guys. So college football gives various communities sports teams that they wouldn't get from the NFL? I can see why it would be a big deal.

Bring British it's a bit hard to understand why college football is such a big deal in the states. Is it a bit like (compared to our football/soccer) where your college team is your local team, like club football is to us and the NFL team is almost like our national team because the country is so vast?

@Nem That's what I wanted with what they teased at the end of MK 11 with the great Kung Lao era but instead we got this weird reboot with the same old characters again.

I know of Jeff the land shark because of Marvel Snap.
Also Second Diner...port the game to PS5 for god's sake.
Sammy you missed the chance to say it's not "click shark bait."

Trackmania could never.

I'll probably use my Stars points to get a £20 voucher for it. Because while I want to support a new 1st party studio, I don't trust the rest of the world to support it enough.
Hopefully Sony understand that the best case scenario is that it gradually grows an audience through continued updates and features that players want.

Having put more time into it, your not wrong about it being a copy and paste of OW right down to it's modes. It's much more like OW then Concord. However I'm finding it really fun, it's really chaotic at times plus destructible environments adds some strategies to matches.
I don't agree with it feeling like a mobile game though, it has good presentation with great visual flourishes in the character menus.

Having put time into Concord and tried Marvel Rivals last night, it was obvious to me what Concord was lacking in it's beta. The biggest issue I had with Concord was the lack of a training mode or a good breakdown of a character's abilities.
Rivals had a clean and easy to read list of each character's movelist complete with clips displaying them.

@Oram77 Yeah I think Fairgame$ has a bit more of a chance because there's a gap in the market right now for a more higher quality heist shooter, the only competition has been Payday 3 and that has really struggled so if Haven can get a fun gameplay loop with some cool looking characters then it can find an audience.

Disappointed that there still is no Stars integration.

@Yousef- Himself...that was the problem.

Call yourself British Sammy? It's Tombi over here

Imagine if they add a 2B skin

The YT video has a million views already, clearly people are still interested in it.

@glassmusic I can't really comment on Genshin but with ZZZ the combat is really fun but there's a lot of talking and dialogue boxes but in a neat feature you can skip it and the game will give you a summary as to what happened. Most of the game is spent going around locations talking to people, picking up quests etc.
As for the currencies my advice is to just ignore them outside of doing tutorials, the game gives you characters that are good enough see you through the story content for a good long while.
If you have any specific questions then I'll be happy to help.

@get2sammyb That's what I did and I managed to pull Ellen with my penultimate Encrypted Tape. Going to save my Polychrome to try and get the new character.

@themightyant After putting nearly 30 hours into ZZZ I agree I've seen way worse. I've managed to unlock 11 out of the 15 characters currently available and I've not had to spend a penny.

@Korgon Yeah it was amazing, right down to the last round.

Such a left field but awesome choice, they could have gone with V or maybe David but no they went with the character that I think suits GG's style more.

I don't know what I'm impressed by more...that Simon Fitzgerald got 10/10 or that he did it in 22 seconds.

Love this new quiz format, great job @antdickens

@get2sammyb They should really do the Brawlhalla thing where they sell a pack that unlocks all present and future characters.

Only @korgon has mentioned it but I think it could be a new Virtua Fighter.

@EfYI You question the kind of people that enjoy Gacha games yet are demanding that whole studios shut down just because they don't make your mind of game.

I keep thinking "what more could they possibly add at this point" and then HG are like "here's another big free update"
