They seem to be leaning into the books a bit more, ain't no bad thing.

For years I wanted Sony to work with Arc System works to make a fighting game. Of course I wanted PlayStation AllStars but this is the best consolation prize. Hell Marvel Vs PlayStation would make for a great sequel.

Sony, Arc System works and Marvel making a fighting game? Best SoP ever.

Well people asked for smaller games without bloated budgets, let's see if they keep that same energy for this.

It's always interesting to see tech like this even if I don't believe for a second that it'll be representative of the game.

@Ooccoo_Jr Not really, the last three SoP has seen Sony announce a few first party games including:
Astro Bot
Concord
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Ghost of Yotei
Days Gone Remastered
Saros.

I'm hoping for more Astro content and Saros gameplay.

A Danish studio making a game based on a British IP been showcased at 2am? Make it, make sense.

You'd think after Activation were bought by a $3 Trillion company that they wouldn't be so desperate for cash now.

"A super sh*tty look" am sure he was referring to his dress sense.

@themightyant Very valid points, though I remember Tony Todd saying that Insomniac left about 80% of his dialogue out of the game, suggesting that there's plenty to work with.
Plus that whole Venom section seemed way too developed for it to just be for a short section.
It's possible though they might save it all for SM3 where there's the potential to play as 4 separate characters.
Peter Parker
Miles Morales
Silk
And Venom.

I'm wondering if there still making the Venom game.

This second season only reinforces to me of just how poor of a sequel story it was to the first one. For me outside the dinosaur museum, it was like they completely forgot what made TLOU in the first place.

@Ironcore You hit the nail on the head, it's what many of us were saying at time the game came out but sadly it got drowned by the more unsavoury criticisms along with those that were ultra defensive of Naughty Dog.

@get2sammyb And that's the biggest flaw really. For seven years we had the first game framing Joel and Ellie as our protagonists that we get invested in. Only for the second one to be a brutally nihilistic one note revenge story with no one to root for. Regardless what everyone thinks of TLOU2, Naughty Dog split their fanbase into pieces after that, to the point that they have their work cut out with Intergalactic to reach the kind of sales the first TLOU reached.

@get2sammyb Oh no, not Zazu.

My sub ended early in the mouth so I've been waiting for days of play.

@Judal27 Yeah I buy the passes but I'll won't be buying monochrome again..

@Judal27 I had to grind like mad to get Vivian and even then it took me to spending real money (last time I'm doing that).
Hopefully with all the free drops and polychromes coming for the anniversary I can get the 50/50 early but my luck has not been good for awhile now.

Funny how things turned out, when the deal was announced it was seen as disastrous for PlayStation but all it ended up doing was hasten MS's move to a third party publisher. It's what they should have done when they bought Bethesda.

I will never fathom how "engagement" is more a metric of success for a priced game then raw sales.

I still maintain that Sony owning Bungie can work out well but they really need to take over the management because there's been far too many horror stories about the running of the place.

@AverageGamer Except back in the day there was an element of truth to it when all Xbox had was Halo, Gears and Forza. The same can't be said about PlayStation.

@ButterySmooth30FPS It's because people keep pushing this narrative that PS5 has "no games" which gets bloody tedious. So some like to take swipes at the "opposition".

It makes me appreciate how well Hoyo do ZZZs updates without any significant bugs.

That's basically the Vita post 2013, it wasn't selling and Sony needed everyone to be on PS4 because it was critical they got all there studios onto it.

I will never understand the mentality people have when a game gets labeled "live service" they automatically assume it's "trash."

I hope FF7 part 3 is still timed exclusive to PS5 because I don't trust Square Enix to do a multiplatform release without it been heavily compromised on a technical level.

No interest in the game but what a movie that was.

@Judal27 Yeah I was hoping for a prequel expansion about Raven, oh well.

As long as it offers a 60fps option then I'm not to bothered by how much work is put into it.

@JB_Whiting Lol, yeah it's the same actress.

What an existential crisis someone is going to have when they try to buy a game but there face is rejected.

With Tati Gabrielle playing Nora, her scene with Ellie is a neat link between Naughty Dog's past and future.

@RubyCarbuncle I remember every time I went into deep water the game crashed without fail. And this was long after the game's release.

Virtuoso did such a great job remaking Oblivion that they kept Bethesda's bugs.

There are a handful of games that I think can get away with the price hike but I don't think B4 is one of them.

@Blauwe_Chimay Wow what a reference.

Just focus on Okami 2 for now.

I think the declining console sales are more likely to do with people waiting for Switch 2 as well general apathy towards Xbox.

Something I noticed with that last trailer was that right at the end they show a flashback that seems like you can swap between that and present day in real time, which could be an interesting mechanic.

Funny how Sony get criticized for remasters yet here is Microsoft remastering Gears 1 for the second time.

@Steeleye50 I have a feeling that they might do an expansion for later in the year.

@Steeleye50 Ain't no shame in that. I'm waiting till there officially done with updates before I do a second playthrough.

@MFTWrecks Does it have a PvP team death match mode?

I love how the soundtrack is themed around who the main character is. In Tsushima Jin played a flute, so the music had a lot of wind instruments.
And now with Atsu using a stringed instrument, the music is much more focused on those.

@RBRTMNZ Core gamers usually prefer smaller maps because we are more likely to be "completionists" so when you have games like AC Valhalla it can feel tedious to do all that stuff we mostly regard as pointless filler.
Where's a more casual crowd are more likely to feel that they get more bang for their buck, especially with the price for games these days.

I'm more waiting for Lucy to arrive in Guilty Gear Strive.

@Bentleyma Annapurna announced they were making it nearly two years ago but I don't know if they still are after a lot of the workforce left.
Blade Runner Labyrinth I believe it's called.

All that work will be lost like...tears...in the rain.

I'm more interested in what horror fans think because mainstream doesn't have much time for most of the genre.

A bit disappointed that The Talos Principle wasn't up there.
Nevermind, just seen that it's made over $20m which is pretty good for a puzzle game where it's story is all about philosophy.

@B0udoir It's from Apex Legends.
