It would be nice if it was actually part of the real Olympic games instead of it's own event that the mainstream won't give it a single thought.

@itsfoz I get your stance but the economics don't lie. Single Player games are getting more expensive to make which means they need to make more sales and there's much less revenue to make outside the initial price because if they started adding mtx there would be a firestorm online. It's one of the reasons why there profit margins are very thin right now.
I do respect that your voting with your wallet but this pivot was always going to happen.

@get2sammyb If England win tomorrow then Gareth should appear on every thumbnail for the next week.

@Glens0n How many times does it need to be said, ND would have had to commit to it full time at the expense of their SP games.

Karate Kid is unashamedly 80's the movie that I love it.
The 3rd movie isn't good but it's plot is hilarious. The main villain is a successful business man who decides to spend weeks of his time plotting to get revenge on a teenager and an old man because they beat his mate's karate school in a tournament...friggin insane.

Not played much yet to form much of an opinion. But something I think this beta really needed was a training mode, outside of the customisation screen you wouldn't know what abilities each Freegunner has if you just jumped straight in.
I agree that the pace is a bit slow though it makes a change from the twitch shooters.
The presentation is really slick and I like most of the character designs and the cutscenes were high quality, which is promising for the weekly story scenes their planning on release.
But if the game ends up failing to take off I hope Sony and Firewalk don't give up on the IP, they can go on and make a SP spin off game.

Very smart move, hopefully people will actually try it and judge it as a game.

@Areus I was talking about the original but I also forgot about the remake.

I wonder if there's now a chance for Tactics Ogre to get released as well

1000% Many of us said from the very beginning that adding AAA games day one was unsustainable. Personally I'm glad subscriptions aren't taking off like they hoped. MS were trying to change the consumer buying habits were no one buys games anymore I.E. not owning their games.

@Czar_Khastik Damn, beat me to it lol

I platinumed Elden Ring by following a YouTuber's walkthrough step by step. I know it will annoy the hardcore who think you have to play a certain way but I know what would frustrate me playing these type of games.

These type of games remind of the many hours I spent playing Micro Machines 96 on my Mega Drive.

"However, he can be unlocked as early as 8th July if you complete enough Rifts in the 'Beat Rifts, Get Agent Smith Free' event."
Yeah I suspect most people wouldn't have been able to do that.

@yohn777 The way I look at it is if it's just upping the resolution and framerate, maybe even Changing art assets then it's a remaster.
If the graphics and/or content have been completely redone then it's a remake.

I wonder if a firmware update is due soon? If so it might explain why it's taken awhile.

@The_Wailing_Doom Join the club mate, I've beaten that drum for ages now along with wanting PlayStation AllStars back.

I wonder if their planning to make a new DR game but starting them off with remaking the first one? But similar to what I think Sony's doing with Until Dawn.

@BAMozzy Considering it sold 12m copies it should have plenty of resources to support the game for a long time. HD2 is not comparable to games like CoD and Apex because there made by massive studios that are able to release content on a regular basis. Sony and Arrowhead will have budgeted for how they support the game.

My votes went to Astro Bot, Lego Horizon, Concord, Star Wars Outlaws and Warhammer.
But I would have voted for Marvel Vs Capcom collection if it was on the list.

@Golem25 Not exactly comparable are they?

@KillerBoy You've played it then?

I think it's difficult to judge how the game will handle it's live service business till it goes live. All we can do before launch is try out the beta.

@trev666 Can only speak for myself but Overwatch stopped being fun once it went F2P, Destiny2's MP has been largely forgotten about and I haven't played Marvel yet.
Plus I like to support Sony's new IPs.

@Maubari The same Microsoft that's delisting Forza Horizon 4 because they can't be bothered to update the licence?

I think this could be the best Evo ever! SF6 has been out for over a year with new characters added so the match ups should be more diverse.
Tekken 8 is bound to bring a lot of hype given how well Tekken 7 did.
Street Fighter 3 Third Strike made Evo what it is so to see it back is amazing.
Maximilian Dood is streaming at the venue so that should be a lot of fun.
And a fair few big announcements could happen too such as MVC Collection release date, Terry Bogard shown for SF6 maybe even a new Virtua Fighter.

@Sequel "You must be this height to git gud."

First two comments sum up every Plus comment section.

@Flaming_Kaiser I always remember Cain, the French cyborg.

It's funny how BG&E is celebrating 20 years and in in a few years time BG&E2 will be 20 years when it first started development.

Wonder who's voicing him? In the second game here in the UK it was Leslie Phillips, which (now that I think about it) was random as heck.

Wasn't the first game supposed to have been getting a remake?

Don't Sony own the Tomba IP?

Street Fighter and Tekken delivering the goods. Marvel Vs Capcom and Fatal Fury coming back? Just need Virtua Fighter back to make this it the 90s all over again.

Well if Sony have a rumoured show in September then there's no reason to be at Gamescom anyway.

@Westernwolf4 Really good, I platinumed the game a few years ago.

@DrClayman It could, it could...I doubt it but it could

Still buzzing over the Marvel Vs Capcom collection.

I'm hoping that they rerelease GTAIV before then, even if it's a bare bones effort like Red Dead.

@BacklogBrad I think having it on SGF served two purposes.
1) They get to announce a game on a show that will get a lot of viewers outside of PlayStation, which is ideal for a game like this.
And 2) They know that they would get heat for announcing a day and date game for Switch on a SoP, they already get it for announcing PC ports on them so I can only imagined what it would have been like had they revealed it on SoP.

@IOI Outside of PC, Playstation probably got more announced then any of the other consoles. Just because Sony didn't do a big showcase doesn't mean they were a non event this summer

@WhiteRabbit I think it's probably more to do with time and budget really.

One of the biggest announcements of the year for me.
There was all this campaigning for MVC2 to come back but what I wanted was a collection from X-Men Children of the Atom all the way up to MVC2. And now I can finally get them.

@Jackpaza0508 I think that's why Studio Gobo are involved and it runs on Unreal 5, probably helps with the port work.

I was drinking a hot cup of tea while watching it, so good job this was announced at SGF otherwise my phone and hand would have melted lol.

@DennisReynolds Why should Sony react to a handful of leaks? Best wait till the game is looking as good as it can be, anyone who's judging the game based on a stolen very early build of the game don't have a clue about game development.

@IOI Because Sony are not going to show stuff till it's good and ready, we got the first Spider-man 2 gameplay just months before release as an example.

For me it has to be Astro Bot. For all the complaints about the State of Play, it actually worked out well for that game. Imagine if it was announced in a showcase with Ghost of Tsushima 2, Naughty Dog and Santa Monica's new games? It would have got lost in the shuffle, whereas here it became a much bigger deal.

I'm hoping for some Playstation deep-cut cameos, this is the same developer that used the Pocket Station battery cover as platforms in Playroom after all lol.
@Korgon Now that's what I'm talking about, maybe even the Scarecrow too.

And the Bloodborne PC portbegging got tired 5 minutes after it was originally announced.

@kingtoten It's quite dated but I think it has a style and gameplay loop that's still unique.

@trev666 Most people knew Xbox had games...we just didn't want an Xbox to actually play them.
