Yeah I'm choosing Tomb Raider over Spiderman. SoulCalibur over Battlefield. Not bothering with CoD this year (probably) since it doesn't have a campaign. Assassin's Creed can wait. Buying Dragon Quest but leaving it to play when I have space since the Destiny Expansion is out the same day...

So when can I play the beta without preordering? Or do they not advertise that you always can?

Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive are the ones I'm hoping for more roster announcements from.

I suppose they should at least give some sort of rough estimate but at least we can't complain about it being cut content. More likely they started working on it after they were done with the base game and want to announce something when it's more concrete.
The season pass was included with my collector's edition but I'm in no rush for the DLC, I'm sure it'll come out eventually and the game was complete (unlike FFXV).
I wouldn't have bought the season pass separately until there were details though, that's kinda silly/unnecessary.

Part of the furniture? She wasn't in the last game...
She was teased on Twitter what feels like ages ago so glad she's finally been revealed.
Can't wait for this game to come out, kind of a shame it's during such a busy period, I'll probably skip Battlefield for this and a week later we have Red Dead 2.

Seeing as there's a US release you'd really think this would be available in the UK by now...

Can't help but wonder if this is setting some sort of precedent. Anime games with fanservice and school girls, Senran Kagura and Gal Gun for instance plus a bunch on the Vita.

It doesn't matter so much with new, popular titles like Fortnite but crossplay could really help older, more niche titles keep a decent sized online community. Like some fighting games.

I really wanted to see it at E3 since it's coming out this year and I want some extra hype. Instead I was like, is it gonna be delayed? : /

Nice! Glad it wasn't delayed

I'm happy with games coming out when they're ready.
It does kind of bug me that we're hearing about games that aren't coming out until the PS5 though... Like we just get a logo and that's it, announce games when you have at least a proper trailer and show it off after that when gameplay is in decent shape.

Really good overall but could have done without the lengthy interlude and flute playing after TLoU.
Ghost of Tsushima was the highlight, it looks phenomenal.
That new Remedy game looked cool too and wasn't expecting Nioh 2 or Resident Evil or From Software to be working on a VR title

There's no chance we'll only see those 4 games and nothing else.
Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion's story mode is getting a reveal, Black Ops 4 will show something off, maybe Battle Royale.
There's some PS timed exclusive deal with Red Dead 2 so wouldn't surprise me if they show off that investment.
Plus there's always at least one surprise announcement at the end. Even if it's just Paragon : p Spyro hasn't been properly revealed yet either has it?

I'm actually debating if I'll tune out for TLoU 2, I really don't want to see any more of it before I have a copy in my hands. The other three games I'm looking forward to learning more about and deciding if they're a day 1 purchase or not.

Huh, I didn't think they'd do the Samurai setting since Nioh has basically done that now.
Wonder if Ghost of Tsushima blows this away or is overshadowed...

Can't wait for this. I'd like to know how long the wait will be though! Not even a year for the expected release date : (

Days Gone I was already thinking doesn't look that interesting/unique, like a lesser TLoU. Anthem on the other hand whilst not everyone's cup of tea (Not the Mass Effect replacement people hoped for) so far is looking like something I'll enjoy playing through with a friend.

Looks cool, should be fun to play through with friends. I'd like to see more details on the RPG elements and story sections though.

DOA6 was just announced for early 2019 so I'm hoping they're not too close together...

Apart from Socom the list isn't that bad of a guess to be fair

The Last of Us I'm definitely getting and now that I know it's coming, I'd rather see as little of it as possible. Even that last trailer we got felt like it spoiled a bit of the game.
Death Stranding and Tsushima I'd like to see gameplay of. Spiderman for whatever reason I'm not that hyped for so could do with seeing more.

It's bad enough with leaks but now even the Developers themselves are ruining the surprise... And it's just annoying being teased about something like Fallout 76 then dealing with possible rumours. Assassin's Creed as well, I'd much rather have been surprised whilst watching the E3 conference.

Too busy with Detroit at the moment but looking forward to giving this a go. I enjoy Fortnite but I suck at building in it. PUBG really could have made a killing if they went PS4, at this rate there will be too many competitors

Battlefield 1 was more dreary, this one they decided to make more colourful for a change. Don't see a problem with it.

First month in ages without a new game I 'need'
Plenty of older games to play though...

Not sure what 'killer app' will make me want to buy into VR but this certainly ain't it

Can't wait to see what this is like, the setting alone interests me more than The Witcher's (which I ended up really liking anyway).
There are some plot details on Wikipedia.

A single player campaign and no season pass, sounds good.
Was expecting a Battle Royale mode announcement too...

I feel like the PS5 will be compatible with all PS4 games like the PS4Pro was, they're not going to change architecture significantly are they? Even if there's a new medium of Blu Ray disc it should be compatible with the normal type. We might finally get native 4K and 60fps as the standard so I'm looking forward to it.

"The asymmetrical design of the analog sticks is based on ergonomics and the typical use case. The left stick is at the neutral position for your left thumb, while the buttons on the right are at the neutral position for your right thumb. The vast majority of the time, you will be using the left stick and right buttons, so it makes sense that they are positioned for the most comfortable thumb position.

If you were to make the sticks symmetrical, you would have one of your thumbs out of a neutral position for the majority of the time, which is likely to increase fatigue and possibly cause cramping."

I'm used to the Dualshock placement but there is logic behind having the left thumbstick where the d-pad is.
I wish Sony would make their own, more robust pro controller, I'm sick of my standard dualshocks wearing out.

I'd be looking forward to the battle royale mode but without a single player campaign I'm not sure If I want to buy it at full price.
If Battlefield has a campaign I'll probably just get that.

Urgh, if they had to replace something to add in Battle Royale it should have been Zombies.
Dunno if I'll bother picking this one up : / I still kind of want it but not at full price if it doesn't have a campaign...

Surprising choice.
With only one difficulty setting it could be too easy for people that want a challenge or too hard for people that
just aren't that amazing at playing games but still want to enjoy them.
They'll either have to choose a middle-ground that won't suit everyone or be like Bloodborne and well, I suppose that did well but people were expecting a tough game. Days Gone's reputation will need to be clear so that people don't find it's too hard and just return it/complain.

I can see their point of it suiting the setting and being a better experience, it's just surprising as it's a 1st party studio reducing their audience.

Digital for multiplayer games I go back to, physical for games that I'll play once and possibly trade in. I prefer digital as often physical games don't arrive on launch day... But Physical games are illogically always cheaper than digital.

I find this very hard to believe.
Personally I don't tend to buy multiplayer-only shooters as to me they seem worth less than the full price they try and sell them for.
Not surprised that they'd add a Battle Royale mode though, as an equivalent to 'War' from WW2.

I want all four of those but Dragon Quest most of all. Then a month later when I probably finish playing it I'll have to decide between Tomb Raider or waiting for Red Dead... Spiderman looks cool and I would have bought it day one but I guess it's just not coming out at a good time.

I had to check and see if Hiroyuki Sawano did the soundtrack but nope just someone using his exact style : /

Darn, was hoping it would be sooner, rather get Dragon Quest and Tomb Raider

Rather have had it sooner and without English voice-over myself but really hyped to finally be getting this in the West regardless.

Hmm, the next Japan Studio game would be cool to see. I liked when they were doing smaller games like Puppeteer and Rain near the end of the PS3's life.
Dragon Quest XI finally getting a release date would be nice : p (It's an exclusive if you don't count the 3DS version too).

I like Battlefield and Need for speed (though the last couple were pretty meh). Dice is a decent studio but I feel like they aren't able to do what they want/take the time they need/oppose putting microtransactions etc in/not releasing games with less content as they were rushed.

I think this just means for instance on PC it'll look phenomenal and sure eventually it could get a re-release on PS5.
Similar to how Crysis was future-proof and when it released barely anyone could play it on max settings.

He fits really well.
Still hoping 2B is another guest character, that would be just as awesome

Is... that a charge blade without a shield? : / Or the shield is invisible?

Dragon Quest XI sold 2 mil copies in 2 days (JP only). Monster Hunter World took 3 days (worldwide) : p

I'd put Dragon Quest XI in that list too : p

Still hoping for Taki, Hilde and Raphael
Can't see anything wrong with the character models/visuals myself. Not sure how long they still have to polish things still so might be a moot point regardless.

I spent about 30 hours doing every side-quest and exploring each area etc. Then since there were other games I wanted to play I realized 'd never go back and finish AC so just blitzed through the main story missions.
The game was so big I didn't even go into a lot of the map. I don't know why it even needs DLC. Same could be said of The Witcher though and look how they turned out...

How many games have TDM? Now how many have Battle Royale? We could use more.

One of my favourite game soundtracks for sure. Does anyone know of any of Kow Otani's other music is as good/similar?

This reminded me that it was coming soon and I still hadn't seen a special edition up for preorder. Guess we aren't getting one in the UK?
