Watch this end up being a live-service game lol

Wow, what a fantastic month. God of War Ragnorak, Modern Warfare 2, Sonic Frontiers, Gotham Knights, Persona 5, PGA Tour 2K23… a lot of games I’m looking forward too!

I only had time to play two matches this weekend but it was fun. I mean, it's Call of Duty. It looked and played great to me. I'll pick it up once it gets cheaper, $70 is way too high of an asking price for any game to me.

Lotta Marvel stuff recently but if they hand them to good developers and keep them single-player focused then keep ‘em coming!

10/15. One of my best scoring quizzes I’ve had!

Funny how Mario Golf Super Rush, a game in a series derived from 3-click golfing, didn't have the option for it... and PGA Tour 2K23 has it. I guess 2K does what Nintendon't lol

This is insanely cool. The offline franchise mode has always been my go-to, so to see them expand on it with different time periods… that’s awesome. I have 2K22 on Switch, so maybe I’ll pick 2K23 up on a newer gen system on Black Friday or so.

Improved visuals and the ability to actually golf as the professionals will make this an easy purchase for me once it gets a bit cheaper.

I got a 5. I just haven’t played many of the games this time around lol. I feel like my scores keep getting worse haha.

I’m looking forward to the game, I’ll probably just wait until reviews come out and the game is a bit cheaper. I loved the Arkham titles but I just want to be sure the single-player is solid… the focus around “online co-op” isn’t something I care for, personally.

@OrtadragoonX Well, depending on what game modes you chose to play it already is a live service game 😂

Not to brag or flex on you guys but… I got a 5/15. No big deal or anything 😎

Probably some internal reorganization stuff. Hopefully it’s just switching priorities and not laying off hardworking devs.

That said, I’m more than fine with these cancellations. I don’t care for anymore battle-royale shooters and the Splinter Cell reboot is way more important than a VR title.

Not that it matters since I’m not picking it up… but the last gen version has a way cooler box art in my opinion.

And just when I thought skateboarding games were back, Tony Hawk gets the axe and Skate goes F2P. The original titles were great to me because of the single-player component. If that’s not there then I doubt it’ll hold my attention.

Already pre-ordered the game on PC and I’m super excited to play it next week. The physical version is enticing though…

7.

Pretty standard for me at this point lol.

I was about to put Wipeout HD for the PS Plus question and then I was like “oh no that collection released much later”… I got Wiepout HD mixed up Omega Collection. I actually facepalmed lol.

That said, I got a 5/15. Not my strongest quiz lol.

I have the Remastered version alongside my PS4 Pro. While I don’t have a PS5 yet, I plan on picking one up some point later this year or early next year. Even when I have a PS5, I’ll probably only pick this up for $30 or under. I’m sure it’s going to be great, just don’t feel the need to grab it right away.

Finally got to watch it. Damn that was great. Stray coming out really soon, Final Fantasy 16 looked amazing, Street Fighter 6 with a sweet style and open-world story mode, Resident Evil 4 Remake, and some other goodies like Callisto Protocol and Eternights.

That’s not even mentioning all the VR stuff!

8. I’m happy with that lol.

@WaveBoy All good! I know a lot of people who prefer VR. I wasn’t discrediting it (I have an Oculus myself but it’s turned into a Beat Saber machine lol) I just like to chill on a sofa with a controller is all. The immersion with VR is indisputably better and can be really intense at times.

I’m also not huge into horror games so VR horror titles are sometimes too terrifying for me 😂

Eh, I don’t care much for VR but I’ll still give it a watch to see if there are any good third-party reveals.

Ah, I thought they were aiming for low review scores. Thank you for clearing that up, Sega!

I’ll take another 7 lol

They don’t need one… but I feel like it would help out. Aside from God of War, we don’t know anything else first-party coming out this year (sorry if I’m missing something). I know there are some “console-exclusives” like Stray and Forspoken, but it would be nice to get an announcement or two, even if they’re not slated until next year.

They also have to have a big PSVR2 blowout if they want to get consumers on board with it. The technology looks great but aside from Horizon: Call of the Mountain… there‘s not much else we know about. It would be nice to know what’s coming soon on PS5 outside of God of War and Spider-Man.

Glad it doesn’t require online. I know we knew single-player was going to be an option but this makes it seem like the game will still play and function well without the co-op aspect.

9/15. That might be my personal best haha.

@themightyant Agree with FPS boost. I downloaded Tomb Raider Definition Edition not knowing it got any updates and was surprised to find it supports 60fps now (my tv was also detected Dolby Vision too which is pretty cool). Very nice.

This gave me a good chuckle. Love to see humor in the industry.

7 but I’ll be honest I guessed for some of them lol.

Shame. Hope this doesn’t mean the end for all these great franchises. I know the Spyro trilogy and Crash 4 were handled by a different team but it would have been nice having more hands on deck for Crash, Spyro, and Tony Hawk.

Interesting. I don’t remember any issues while playing it on my brothers PS5 back when I lived there. Perhaps this update is arriving because they’re working on another game (presumably another Astro Bot game) using the same engine. Would make sense if it isn’t too difficult to transfer the optimizations to a pre-existing title. The developers get to test their optimizations on pre-existing games and consumers benefit from it.

Seems like a decent deal. It’ll all come down to the game library, though. And if they’re going to wait a year minimum to add their big new titles, it might be a bit of a hard sell for me. Regardless, I’m interested… just need to hear more.

Whelp, I’m glad they responded and did something about it. Definitely a step in the right direction. I still refuse to buy any online-only game for more than $20 so I’ll be waiting a bit for it to become a budget game. That’s what I did with GT Sport, Need for Speed Heat, and a few other online-only titles.

Hmmm. I actually really enjoyed Dirt 5 (as well as the Rally titles) so it’s sad to see the brand potentially go. That being said, if they just rebrand the games as EA Sports Rally and they’re effectively the same game… I suppose that’s fine. We’ll have to wait and see.

Absolute sh*t show.

It’s worth giving it a go. Now that the game has, I guess, “gone gold” over a year after its initial launch, it’s actually a really fun experience. Haven’t played through it all but it’s definitely worth trying if you have spare time this weekend.

@Lavalera Awesome! Thanks for the info!

This might sound sad but is it possible to play this in single-player? I love these games but don’t really like playing story-driven games with friends. I like to play solo and fully grasp the atmosphere, dialogue, and story.

Love this costume. Gives me a reason to jump back into Fall Guys for a short bit. I love the game but this season has been going on for so long that I haven’t been playing recently.

6/15. I keep getting worse and worse with each quiz 😅

Arkham City and Asylum are my favs, but Origins is right behind them.

Knight is still great but it felt like they focused more on production value and gimmicks rather than making the core experience as fluid and fun as the other titles.

@get2sammyb Gotcha, thanks for the update. I probably should’ve waited until later today to post my comment once I read the entire article lol.

I only skimmed through the article but are people really saying you cannot enjoy both titles? Jeez, they’re both fantastic games just play whichever titles interest you, have fun, and let others do the same.

Will read through the entire sometime article after work.

EDIT: Ignore my comment lol, get2sammyb filled me in

Lol I completely forgot about this train wreck.

Really cool but probably the worst possible time they could have done this. Horizon Forbidden West and Pokémon Legends just came out within the past few weeks and people are jumping back into CybePunk since it’s finally “complete” now. And with GRID Legends and obviously, Elden Ring out this Friday… this is probably the worst weekend they could have picked lol.

Eh, I don’t know why I care so much. I’ll be on vacation at the mountains this weekend lol.

6. I haven’t played the majority of these games so I’ll take it lol.

@Bentleyma I might be doing the same. I’m planning on playing through Forbidden West when it’s cheaper sometime in the Spring/Summer and I’ve gotten through my current list of games to play. I don’t think I’ll have a PS5 by then so I might be snagging the PS4 version for my Pro given it doesn’t come to PC by the time I want to play it.

Still don’t have a PS5 so if I pick this up I’ll be playing at 30fps 1800p on my Pro.
