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.

Mystic Ryan put up a comparison video on YT yesterday, interestingly the "enhancement" features which allow rewind and multiple save states is off by default on PS4. And when he turned it on the game felt more "choppy". He reckons this is why Sony stopped releasing PS2 games because the PS4 had trouble running the emulator.

@Littlebigmatador I suspect it will. Sony's own games usually have trophies.

A shame but the Astro games were designed around the hardware in mind. I think the VR audience would find it a easier pill to swallow if Rescue Mission was ported over.

Seen and heard enough now where I don't want to know anymore now. September can't come soon enough.

Daxter and Ghosthunter? wow I haven't played them for near 20 years.

@NEStalgia Your theory (and others) is certainly a sound one and makes the most sense, especially when I got the impression that Phil wanted all of Bethesda's games to be exclusive originally. You seemed to be more clued up about how Satya Nadella runs things then I do so I trust your word.
As for Phil Spencer, if he really doesn't a final say on what Xbox does now, would he be better just walking away from the job then been a glorified mouthpiece to his bosses?

Better get into the habit Sammy lad, nearly everything will be coming over in time.

Considering that Ghost of Tsushima allowed you to play as both samurai and ninja rather fluidly, it just seems a bit of of a step back for AC basically making you commit to one play style on each mission.

Glad the Spider-Verse is back. Lando's suit looks cool too.

@Andee This is something I'm glad Sony has done, they could have easily locked these games to premium like Nintendo has done, least here we can own the games we want.

I hope they bring the Maximo games over.

I wonder if there's some complexity with integrating the emulation onto consoles. It's all well and good saying on PC it can do "4k 60fps" but PC can brute force that. On console it not only has to run at least at it's base performances but it also has to have the console's features such as trophies, quick resume, take screenshots, remote play and share play. All that could add unknown complexities to the conversion.

@breakneck That's alright, I can then ask him why he's struggled to make a decent game this century. Lol

@HonestHick You can say the same for the "PC master race" crowd

This comes from a man who wouldn't shut up about wanting Japanese games and developers, he finally gets one then shuts it down.

One thing I'm glad Sony don't do compared to Nintendo is locking these games behind a subscription (apart from the PS3 games).
