@get2sammyb Maybe I'm being a grumpy Gus... It's just a remake is soon to be here, this Lego game, the rumoured MMO and tv show that was in the works (which appears to be on hold now?).

Like i say, maybe I'm being grumpy. I liked Forbidden West alot and it's exciting for these things to go dormant and appear years later.

I don't like that Sony is pushing the Horizon IP so hard. I like the Horizon games, but they're falling into the trap of too much, too soon. Give it time to breath and I think most will be more excited about the brand.

But... it does look charming and fun, I think ill probably enjoy this with my kids someday. From a technical point of view, that's a very pretty looking video game, the dev team have done a great job it seems.

Cricket bats you say? hmm

Still haven't picked this up but I shall eventually... A pro patch of some kind would also be nice!

Just finished Detroit become human and I'm gonna jump into Neva after the stellar reviews. Enjoy your weekend everybody

I started a playthrough of Detroit become human... It'll be my second playthrough but I remember little of it so I'm looking forward to it! Have a great weekend everybody

Ubisoft is in trouble... I don't buy alot of ubi games, they don't appeal to me but they have some great IP and Id really like to see them capitalize on it. A triple A splinter cell game? Gimme.
I don't want to see them fall, they just need to figure out what gamers want.
I just think the desire for these humongous open worlds aren't what they used to be?

I'm just kind of over this formula of video game. The massive 50 hour open world. I did enjoy them alot for many years but I just don't want to go from place to place doing a similar mission structure and getting upgrades anymore.

I crave linear story titles so much at the moment and nobody really seems to be making them anymore. It makes me kinda of sad haha. Even more gutting that Dead Space remake didn't achieve the numbers to warrant any investment in this style of video game.

I cannot wait for what Naughty Dog is creating!

Oh, and Judas looks pretty fantastic as well.

I payed this on the steamdeck. Any metroidvania fans out there, play this game. My GOTY so far!

Colin liked that

Looks interesting .I've played a few of The Chinese Rooms previous titles and they're pretty good to be fair.

I've just finished Nine sols on my Steam deck and I need something a little more straightforward to play. I've tried to not read much of your review and go in as blind as I can lol. Looks like it performs fine and there is a good setting/story to digest. thanks for bringing this to my attention push square!

@Zuljarasan, what a game Hollow Knight is! I am playing Nine Sols on my steam deck and this game is up there with Hollow Knight for me. You should keep it on your radar as it's coming to playstation. These games are so much better to me than the titles coming from the big publishers at the moment.

Enjoy the rest of your play through!

One of my favourite games of the year so far!

Astro looks great and I was surprised by how much i enjoyed the Lego Horizon trailer.

I want both of these types of games & more from Sony! A new Fumito Ueda game? Give it, give it now!

What I truly miss are the riskier titles, Journey, Fat Princess etc. Those days are long gone and not just for Sony, it seems nobody want's these titles in their portfolio anymore which I find kind of depressing.

Ill buy Astro for sure, but I'm keen to see what the big studios are working on and I am becoming a little impatient now.

C'mon Sony, win me over again. You're losing me a little over here and I've been a diehard from the beginning.

Damn it, it looks pretty good

I'd love some smaller titles. Games like fat princess or journey were really fun and interesting and it seemed like sony were taking risks with these titles.
I really miss that era of playstation, now it's all very predictable.

I'm sure whatever the project is, It'll be great, however, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is an awful name lol.

This was a great game. The platforming is particularly good in my opinion.

I've become quite the fan of Ubisoft Montpellier. I think they have great talent and vision and i look forward to what comes next!

In an industry of exploding budgets it was refreshing to play something a little smaller in scope but just as deep in lots of other ways... I just hope it was successful enough for ubi to take notice.

if this is true it'll be really disappointing to me.
This gen is so dull, particularly Sony themselves! when it's all said and done, are we gonna say these remakes defined the generation? C'mon, give us some original games!

It would be nice to see something new from Sony.

I'm a long time fan of the brand but i feel a little let down so far from the first party, they came out pretty strong with games such as Demons Souls and Returnal but what is going on with some of these Studios?

I know we're long past it, but the Sony of old used to have this mix of IP in Uncharted, God of war etc mixed with strange titles like Fat Princess & Journey. This lack of experimentation is disappointing for me personally.

I know I'm in the minority, but if we see more of the same with titles such as Spider Man, TLOU or God of war, things really will start to feel stale. I want something new! and it shouldn't have to cost $250 million to produce it.

Bit of a rant, but i needed it haha

It looks excellent. It'll be the first game i purchase this year!

I've played GTA my whole life, started out playing the top down series on my parents PC as a kid. The series is no doubt legendary and I really hope this game elevates the gameplay to new heights. I can't get excited about the Rockstar formula which has been copied to death. particularly in an open world modern city setting.

I loved Red Dead but that games setting is what makes it special to me and for whatever reason, I let it off the hook more so than GTA.

GTA V had some stand out moments, the heists to be specific & I hope 6 has more of this on offer.

Sony understands audio and it's headphones are some of the best around. Glad to hear they're good, however i think Sony make themselves look pretty bad when they force users to use these for use with the Portal rather than the option of Bluetooth buds.

@somnambulance I totally agree with you... It's my favourite thing out of Media Molecule aswell.

I actually think this is what that studio should become, releasing super creative smaller titles to compliment the big releases from the other Sony studios. Tren is such high quality fun. I've shown a few friends who are bigger on the PC side and they've all loved it. It's criminal it's not more accessible, I'm positive it would kill on steam.

Bit out there but Tren within dreams is abit of a winner in our house. I wish this was released outside of dreams.

It's been odd with this game. I haven't experienced any bugs whatsoever and I'm 20 hours in now but seems like some have had a pretty iffy experience. Good on them for getting a patch out to address it though.

Haven't started Spiderman yet, I'm currently playing lies of p and while it's a great game... I gotta say I feel it's a touch too long now that I'm towards the end.

A tight 20 hours or so sounds perfect. In some cases, games are becoming so big and bloated to justify the price tags. Remember uncharted 2? A tight 10 to 12 hours or so? I sort of miss this philosophy.

@Th3solution I hope you're right. We're in a strange position as fans, we'd usually know what's coming by now but we're 3 years into the console and still no official word from many of these studios! Here's hoping we get a big showcase soon!

Insomniac are a very talented studio and I would like them to flex their creativity.

Please Sony, lets have a couple of new IP from your first party.

Hi Khayl. Great podcast with LSM. Push square and last stand should absolutely collab if possible! You'd make a great power couple.

My first time playing a game like this... it's big and scary and I feel the need to get help online but I'm really having a blast. I'm around 30 hours in, exploring the Thorm Mausoleum. I Look forward to the rest of the journey!
