In 2021 if you told me that between Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad, I'd eventually play neither of them, I would never have believed it. Yet here we are.
While I can see SM put a lot of effort into it, I agree that it was by far the weakest parts of the game.
I'm most interested in how they would've fleshed out the story over three games instead of two. We never saw Valhalla and I would've loved to see more Thor, and a Baldur return.
Must be very targeted. Like how I receive no offers on my first Uber Eats account that I used to use regularly, while getting huge discounts weekly on my newer account that I only use sparingly. They ain't slick
I'm so sad to read this. I loved her in 24, and followed her career from that point onwards because she was a terrific actor. When is this cancer sh*t gonna end!?
I tried with this game. Just like I tried with Bloodborne, and Demon Souls, and Sekiro. I'm just not into this developer and I really wanna see what the hype is all about, but it ain't for me.
Torn. On one hand they've given me the reason to replay this that I've been dying for. And I love it in 60fps, I really do.
On the other hand it still has some weird bugs that I shouldn't still be experiencing after all this time. NPCs floating in mid air. Pop in. Odd enemy AI behaviour. Some missions not triggering next steps therefore no ability to progress. Game crashes. And the controls are still hella clunky.
@Constable_What Dude. Playing on GMGOW is SO frustrating. I'm 20 hours in and I'm always a maximum of three (yes, 3) hits away from death. But I guess I knew what I signed up for.
Downloaded this last night on PS5. It didn't take long but the copying process took a while. Glad I've gotten it out the way because I intend to play bang on midnight and another delay would have killed meπ
I also wanna say thanks to Push Square for both the spoiler warning here, and the way you've made it easy to avoid spoilers through your preview and review. Can't say the same for IGN or Digital Foundry, even though they were light spoilers π
Hope they wrap this up soon. Because after this I'm hoping for a Mass Effect with the narrative quality of the trilogy, the combat quality of Andromeda, while utilising the SSD of the PS5 for next level exploration and traversal π₯Ήπ₯²
@Romulus
Rocksteady have been very quiet for a while. I suspect what they show us next will look a lot different to what they showed us a year ago.
Also, if you look at the respective track records of WB Montreal and Rocksteady, this 5/10 Gotham Knights was very predictable.
Rocksteady on the other hand have my confidence that their game is gonna be good.
As someone who has played the Arkham games several times over, I know just how mediocre WB Montreal can be. I bought their last game day 1 at full price. Never making that mistake again.
PlayStation are having a tough time.
Profits are lower. Costs are higher. And there's a hiring freeze that's been on since summer.
Anything they put out these days is gonna be priced high. Whether it'll be worth it is another matter.
@KundaliniRising333 Yeah weird article. Sammy is refuting the rumour based on logic, which is fine... Except Sony have made countless illogical decisions recently. Many of which have been written about on this site.
Too many unanswered questions, some of which could make this a non-issue. For example, if this is free for those who own the game, or even if it charges Β£10 (like Uncharted did) then cool. So no point getting worked up about this now.
For people screaming about this being a 'waste of resources' I say, mind the business that pays you. They are not your resources to waste. At least, that's how I console myself whenever studios release unnecessary games.

Typical. Rocksteady have delayed every one of their last 3 games.
This one was originally due in 2022 ffs

Yeah, and faster I really hope.
Flying in HFW was cool but it was too slow. PS5 and it's super fast SSD should make that a breeze.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West's PS5 Exclusive Expansion Still Scheduled for 19th April
Good work Push Square. Last week's article was a success.
Now do one about Spider-man 2. Cheers
Re: Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Is Out Soon on PS5, and We've Seen Next to Nothing
Regardless of what Guerilla said, putting HFW on PS4 harmed their vision for the game.
For that reason, I'm so intrigued by how a PS5 only version of this plays.
I don't mind a delay as long as they don't change course and add a PS4 version π
Re: Disastrous PS5 Demo Leads to Suicide Squad Delay
As the article suggests, the delay is most likely for polish.
If it were anything to do with the reception of the trailer, the game would get outright cancelled.

Re: PS5 Gaining More Traction in Japan as It Tops Weekly Hardware Chart
I don't have shares in any of these companies so I don't care who sells more of what.
But it is really interesting that the PS4 still sells and keeps up with the digital edition, not to mention more than both Xbox consoles.
Sony really did something with that wonderful machine. Probably the last time they hit those levels ever again.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give The Witcher 3 PS5 Version?
Torn. On one hand they've given me the reason to replay this that I've been dying for. And I love it in 60fps, I really do.
On the other hand it still has some weird bugs that I shouldn't still be experiencing after all this time. NPCs floating in mid air. Pop in. Odd enemy AI behaviour. Some missions not triggering next steps therefore no ability to progress. Game crashes. And the controls are still hella clunky.
So I give it a 7.

That's a terrible take, respectfully.
Sure the story didn't pack the same punch but pretty much everything else about the game was better than the original. This IP has a huge future.

Well at the PS Showcase just over 2 years ago, they told us 2021 (which nobody believed).
However, since communicating a specific date in July, they've stuck to it. So fair play to them.
