@RoomWithaMoose Sony tried making those smaller games but guess what? They didn't sell either. Just because there smaller games and apparently have more "creativity" doesn't guarantee the kind of profits that Sony are needing. HI-FI Rush was a perfect example of that last year, fit the mold of a "smaller" game but it still took 4 years and a near AAA budget.

@jrt87 All your doing is regurgitating the same tired comments I've been hearing for the past several months. It doesn't make for compelling argument.
I could say the same for OW's cast...gruff soldier guy, a grim reaper who they imaginatively called Reaper, Beast from the X-men except he's gorilla and Clint Eastwood Cowboy.

@NEStalgia Considering Concord looks nothing like Fortnite your argument falls flat.

I've not heard one compelling argument about why the character designs are "ugly". Is it because certain people just want all gaming characters to look hot or something?

@Gaia093 I'm only missing Nekomata and Lycaon for my agents now and the only money I've spent is on the city fund battle pass cos I was able to max it out so might as well.
But yeah I can't wait to see the Sons of Calaydon get properly introduced.

@Frmknst Bought it and will not apologise.

@Gaia093 I've been incredibly lucky with my pulls so far. Will have close to 150 tapes ready for when Jane comes out. Hopefully my luck holds out for Burnice and Caesar release.

@RBMango Yeah the rise of the Pakistan Tekken community over the last ten years has been mental.

The first game is currently in the top ten in the UK on PSN, so it seems to be getting good play time.

@SeanOhOgain At your not George R R Martin

@KillerBoy Tell that to Marvel Rivals.

@specky "political" basically means you were triggered by a robot having a pronoun.

@Flaming_Kaiser I know right? Ever since Smash Bros Ultimate it's been my "dream game" because Smash was such a love letter to it's characters and worlds. But I didn't have nostalgia for Nintendo hence why I want a PlayStation equivalent or at least something in the same spirit.

Love how he's suggesting that other platform holders are doing the same yet I'd bet my house that if Sony and Nintendo had Indiana Jones they wouldn't port to a competing platform. I'd have a crumb of respect for the guy if he just admitted that "consoles sales are tanking and Game Pass subs have ground to a halt so the top brass have told us to sell our games elsewhere" because that's far more closer to the truth.

Just shows that despite all his corporate speak, old uncle Phil wanted exclusives all along. If he had his way, IPs like Doom, Indiana Jones and Elder Scrolls wouldn't go anywhere near a PlayStation. In a way, them buying Activision was a blessing because now Microsoft have taken over and have realized what a lot of us have said for the last 15 years. That not enough people want an Xbox at the expense of PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, so they might as well go 3rd party.

I'm intrigued by that PlayStation episode. If nothing else it'll be an excuse to demand a new PlayStation AllStars game.

No Astro Bot, Lego Horizon and Death Stranding 2 tonight but does give hope for September showcase.

The "slime of humanity" won't know what hit them.

He looks great and a fitting first character from outside Capcom. But I don't think we'll be ready for Mai.

Pleased that there not locking characters behind battle passes and MTX.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have one Concord article without people dumping on it all the time?

I voted:
Dune Awakening
Lego Horizon Adventures
Marvel Rivals
Concord
Death Stranding: On The Beach

As for what I'm hoping for are Marvel Vs Capcom release date.
Soul Reaver remaster announcement.
Annapurna's Blade Runner game getting a new trailer.

Can't believe I got the dragon question wrong, I went with Insomniac but forgot about Spyro.

Working my way through Zenless Zone Zero's 1.1 update. Been lucky with pulling the S rank agents so far, so I'm saving up to try and get Jane Doe.

Been keeping an eye on this for awhile, chances are that the majority of these games wouldn't get rereleased, let alone bought in decent amounts.

@Brawl4002 Yeah I was surprised at how good it looked, I think it's cool that everything in the game world is made of Lego.
@OldGamer999 November is not a bad shout, they certainly will want it out in decent time for Christmas.

@OldGamer999 I think it's because Astro Bot overshadows it quite a bit.

I would like to see more of Lego Horizon... don't need to see Astro as my mind was made a millisecond into it's reveal trailer.
As for others I want more updates on Marvel Rivals and Dune Awakening.

Will be nice to play one of these games without the pressing need to finish a Battle Pass.

@LifeGirl The vast majority of horror games over the past ten years have taken elements or downright all of what made PT special, including the first person Resident Evil games.

@trev666 Probably because the external studio would have to learn ND's engine and that would have took a lot of time. Plus there was no guarantee a studio was out there to do the job in the first place, even Sony's own support studios would have been on other projects.

I remember when PS said PT was one of the goty and got dumped on by many commenters because it was seen as just "a demo" but time has proven PS to be right.
PT has to be one of the most influential games in the past decade.

I voted Other, just so I can say "all of them".

If Capcom can get the Marvel games rereleased then Warner Bros and Bandai Namco have no excuse in doing Mortal Kombat and Tekken collections at this point.

It's so baffling how MS allowed this to happen in the first place. But then this is the same company that sold Bungie at the height of their Halo fame because they wouldn't allow them to make a new IP. Can you imagine if Sony did that with Naughty Dog?

I'm more annoyed that most of not all the new stuff from the update is reserved for the high difficulties. And yeah they need to stop nerfing everything, I've pretty much had the same load out for months now because I don't feel compelled to use anything else.
They also need to start progressing the war story because it's just been Bugs and Bots from the start, I had hoped we would get Fortnite style in game events that shakes things up aside from the black hole one it's been largely nothing.

Far too many looked at the acquisition and judged it based on what exclusive games PlayStation was getting out of it. But that was never the goal. IP acquisitions has never been Sony's reason to own studios with the only exception been Psygnosis and that was back in 93 when Sony needed a 1st party studio to launch PlayStation with.
Bungie are still a world class studio that has been badly managed for years, that's badly damaged their reputation. But hopefully if Sony have taken on more direct control and can do for them what they did for Naughty Dog, Guerilla Games, Sucker Punch and Insomniac (in helping them to become huge successful studios by making best in class games) then that's a mouthwatering prospect in the coming years.

@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.
