Shame they didn't pick up From Dust and Housemarque's Outland as well, would have loved for them to get rereleased.

Fun fact: Ace from the Gangreen Gang in Powerpuff Girls had a stint as the band's bass player.

Love Gorillaz but I hate how two members of the band aren't in the music pass as well as only one song despite the pass having 4 pages of cosmetics.

@Oram77 Your not joking. Dare, Dirty Harry, Feel Good Inc, Don't get lost in Heaven? Just absolute bangers.

@Jrs1 That's good, I'm taking that lol

@Dalamar I think it's because every time there some kind of event over the last 5 years so many were demanding to see Silksong so it just got annoying to those that weren't interested in the game to begin with.
People that are wanting a Bloodborne remaster are getting like that as well.

It's the indie GTA6.

@LogicStrikesAgain This is what I've been saying for a long time. Astro Bot by rights should have sold about 7 to 10m copies by now but sadly it hasn't. And yet a lot of commenters on here think Sony should make only make those type of games as well pining for the PS1 days.

@RBMango That's what I was hoping Sony were going to do initially with the live service push, make more unique MP games that stand out. Hopefully that's what they are doing now.

@Klart I've been meaning too, curse of the backlog and all that.

Great preview Sammy and awesome work from Gamescom.
I really hope we can play as the villains too, even if you have to unlock them. Like come on let play as Skeletor and Hodak.

@Puppetmaster I haven't really been a big beat em up fan after the Mega Drive era but these recent games using IPs I've grown up with fit so well that I can't help but just get a bit excited about them.

@Olmaz But yet there's a large market out there that want a collection on their platform of choice where they can just plug and play.

@johnedwin It was a "non negotiable" at the time that if Bungie were to be bought that they wanted full autonomy. It was rumoured that Microsoft wanted to buy them back around the same time but were put off by Bungie's terms as they would have wanted full control.
Sony meanwhile had just missed out on Leyou Technologies to Tencent and were looking for a studio with live service experience, at that point there weren't too many options, either they were already owned by major publishers or had gotten so big that it wasn't worth the investment. So Sony bought Bungie while meeting their terms. Then it came to light about 2 years ago that if Bungie lost a certain amount money over a specific time period, Sony can then take full control (presumably that was an insurance policy for them to protect their investment) which is what's happening now.

@Olmaz Emulation is only for those on PC and have the know how.

@devil76 I mean why not at this point?

@PuppetMaster Awesome that you got what you asked for so quickly lol.

These retro style brawlers are picking some awesome IPs:
TMNT
Terminator 2
Marvel
Power Rangers
And now He-man?
That gives me hope that we could eventually get The Thundercats.

I'm shocked that they are adding Legends onto the base game again. I thought for sure Sony would want to spin it off into a live service game.

@PuppetMaster I wondered about that, Chinese people saying "codswallop" doesn't sound right lol.

Hoping to see more Fairgames.

And Ninja Theory were promoting Hellblade for PS5 so swings and roundabouts.

So he just assumed? You'd think in his position that he would be above making mindless speculation that you see in comment sections but then this is Michael Pachter...also Destin Legarie? Can't stand him, a glorified Xbox.

Hopefully when it finally gets shown it looks more interesting. I'm always open minded when it comes to any game PS Studios makes, especially if it's a new IP.

Sword of the sea all day long.

It's proving to be successful now but it remains to be seen just how long it's popularity will last.
Still Sony need to have more faith in their new IPs.

It's sad now that if Bubsy 3D came out now it would probably kill the studio whereas back in the 90s studios were given chances to make something better. Look at Bend studio, they made this and then they followed it up with Syphon Filter.

@Kidfunkadelic83 You and me both mate.

The thing I hate about day one releases is it just makes gaming more disposable. I bet since GP the hours played per game have plummeted because people will just drop a game after an hour and move onto something else because they technically didn't pay for it.

@11001100110zero It depends on platform. On Xbox, it's more of a struggle to be successful on their if they aren't on GP because the audience has been conditioned to just play whatever is on the service instead of buying the game outright.

Licenced tie-in game confirmed 😉

@ShogunRok They probably just want to focus on re-establishing their core characters first before thinking about guest characters. Besides if they were planning it, why spoil it?

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare As someone who loves Aloy as a character (no surprise considering my avatar) I agree that her arc was better in Zero Dawn. We saw her grow from a baby to a woman but also there was this connection with her because we were discovering the world together at the same time.
In Forbidden West she's portrayed as heavily burdened because of what happened in Zero Dawn and her role in it. And she's surrounded by people who don't know the truth of the world. Hence why she has that aloofness that you mention, to be fair a couple of characters call her out on it and it ultimately becomes a story about accepting help from others. But the writing does depict Aloy as unlikeable at times and I often wonder if we as gamers struggle with playing as characters who are deeply flawed or unlikeable, the reaction to TLOU's ending as well the whole second gave me food for thought.
Sorry for the long post.

KP were able to turn around a new open world IP inside 5 years so I don't think we'll be waiting forever. It's obviously a PS6 game though.

@Porco With the amount of PC gamers that buy Sony's games, they might as well have stayed exclusive.

You telling me that people read the headline without looking into the context? Colour me shocked.

@EfYI Were you sacked from them or something because I can't think of any good reason you should advocate for people losing their jobs.

Hopefully they fix the huge save file bugs that prevented the first game from booting up to the point that you have to reset progress just to play it again.

I hope Battlefield does well both critically and commercially because that community has been starved of a really good game for quite some time, plus with CoD continuing to take on a more Fortnite approach, it could become one for those that want a strict military shooter.

It's for the best because Bungie's management has been terrible for far too long. I still maintain that I think Bungie will be a great acquisition but it's needs streamlining and refocused whether it starts with Marathon though remains to be seen.

@Magatsuhi ArcSys games do tend to have a long tail in the competitive scene and with Sony owning Evo they will make it a staple for years to come, even if it isn't THE top game like Street fighter.

I would be open to another Death Stranding in future, I think it's a good IP for Kojima to hand over to younger talent like he wanted to do with MGS.

I'm not sure if Digital Eclipse have done 3D PS2 emulation so Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon are unlikely.
I actually prefer if it is Sub Zero and Special Forces that are added. Yes there bad games but for completion sake it would be good to have them there.

Now imagine if they add Morpheus later on.

@Questionable_Duck Because it's obvious to anyone with common sense that it's for their live service games along with a few select titles like Lego Horizon.

It's just pathetically desperate at this point. MS have conditioned people to expect ports to other platforms so that's PlayStation and Nintendo fans do port beg. But the little army of xbots led by the likes of Colt Eastwood think they can do the same even though there on a sinking ship. They are literally the music band that are still playing their instruments while the Titanic falls.

Lol it's DLC for GoG!

@J2theEzzo I've loved it, easily one of my favourite fighters.

@J2theEzzo Sagat is looking great, his kicks looks so impactful

@J2theEzzo I'm a Blanka guy I know what's it like having your main been treated as a joke lol.
I found him pretty fun in SF6 though take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I just rewatched the part where the devs were on stage before showing the trailer and Sony's guy said "For the next ten years we plan to keep making this the most amazing game ever."
Wait TEN YEARS!

She looks amazing but I wish she got a stage.

@LazyDaisy I'm someone who loves fighting games but is very casual and I ended up putting more time into Street fighter 6 then any previous SF game because the modern controls made it easy for me to do some cool moves without practicing for hours.

@PuppetMaster Which is great cos it helps casual players without putting off the hardcore.

That's crazy that they ripped the characters from Alpha Max to add them to Upper Capcom are absolutely killing it with their fighting games.
