I don't think I've seen her do enough different roles to say whether this could be good or bad but would not pre-judge.
I just think the IP is well known enough that why not try and discover some new talented young actress to fit the role rather than finding a 'famous' person who might work.

If I were pick from known actresses, I think Kaya Scodelario or Sophie Cookson could be interesting choices.

Pretty sure IGN had an article today saying

@Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was the biggest Call of Duty release ever, setting new day one and opening weekend records as sales on PlayStation and Steam jumped 60 percent compared to 2023's Modern Warfare III. Game Pass also benefited from Call of Duty's release, setting a new record for amount of new subscribers in a single day. Call of Duty Black Ops 6 launch last week saw strong concurrents on Steam that outperformed Modern Warfare II and III.

EDIT: Of course no actual number for the new subscribers

It's strange how much variance there is between what people see in the app. I'm UK using ios and there are no options for any cash off rewards. I've accepted the new conditions and also did an update for the app from the istore and still nothing.

Playstation Access is about to play this game in a few minutes if anyone wants to see it in action.

I'm excited for the new character. Could be a cool touch though to have one of those 'legends' side quests refer to the tale of the Ghost of Tsushima.

This was one of those games that seeing pictures and descriptions mades me wonder what the fuss was. Then I watched Playstation Access play it on a stream and it made more sense but was surprised you didn't even control the shooting.
At that price I took the punt and it's simple, addictive fun.

Using a game that every single PS5 user owns to build hype for the next game has been a genius move. Could be an interesting area for other developers to look into.

I’d be curious to see some non-boss fight gameplay.

I started to watch the video but quickly decided against it. I’m definitely going to play this at some point and would rather not have a moment spoiled.
I just make do with reading about it.

Anyone else curious why we are still yet to see more than lots of quick snippets of gameplay (not counting cut-scenes)? Hard to get a proper feel of how it actually plays.

This was the most interesting thing shown today for me.

The only Playstation character I actually caught a glimpse of was Kratos but it was a lot quick cuts.

EDIT: Just rewatched and caught Jin Sakai in there too. Curious how the Playstation episode will work with both characters (and potentially more).

@KayUK I get a similar vibe from it. Some high quality assets that seem very similar to other games stitched together with wonky animations.
Time will tell.

Mildly curious would be my choice of words.

Goat Simulator 3 is only a tenner. Considering I got the first with plus and had fun with it I will probably get that.

3/10 and two of those were guesses 😄. I was 50/50 on the God of War one and picked the wrong one. Also caught out on the AC one as couldn't remember being attacked by elephants but apparently they were there.
Some very specialised knowledge needed on this one.

EDIT: Kudos to the person reading and answering questions at 2 seconds at a time.

@get2sammyb It seems crazy to me that Destiny on it's own generated enough money to pay for that many employees. Were they that large when they left Microsoft? Maybe they got overambitious in expanding the studio.

@dellyrascal That's slightly disappointing but you would hope that they improve with each game they make.

Is this made by someone new or is it a rebrand by the AO Tennis people?

A demo would be super handy for this.

Love the new leaderboard. I got lucky with guesses on questions 3,8 and 10.

Our leader is a quick reader.

I approve this story

@AfroMario Which one? The one where Dumbledore Calrissian has to return the ring to Mordor?

I voted for Astro, AC Shadows, Dragon Age and Star Wars Outlaws. It was only after submitting my votes that I realised I missed KCD 2 and could no longer vote for it. It could possibly be my most anticipated of the lot as I've only recently tried the first and have now put over 100 hours and still going.

@ShogunRok I did find the character creator under 'demo' in the store. Thanks for the reply.
All downloaded and character done. Just a pawn to create then I'll give it a go.

I've yo-yoed with my interest in the game so I'll definitely try a demo.
Great tip about the character creator. So there is a separate downloadable for that, from the demo, in the store I take it?

Okay, you have my attention. Sounds like something to keep an eye on for me.

The more that information comes out the more optimistic I become about the game. Still need to be convinced it will be great but I'm hopeful Bioware can pull it off.

I personally hope it remains mysterious until they choose to reveal what it is without someone leaking it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ubisoft studies which of the characters the player base uses more of to help determine future titles gameplay style.
Naoe looks more like the type of AC gameplay I look for.

I watched Skill Up's impressions video and he seemed much more positive, although did also class it in way that could be considered 'safe'.

Was that a different Voice Actor for Solas? It's been a while since I last played Inquisition but it felt different. I haven't formed a solid opinion after watching the gameplay but curious to see/hear more.

@Mintie thanks for the confirmation. I’m still eager to see it too.

The full gameplay reveal is in about 2 and a half hours yes? Had to do some searching and only found US times which I think I’ve converted right.

This looks really promising. It seems there has been some hands on sessions for some media, Skill Up has a video uploaded with his impressions so bound to be others.

@Shepherd_Tallon @WizzNL I think has contributed to the general feeling of disappointment from showcases nowadays. There is less excitement for a 'reveal' when you know it's coming.
I loathe this 'insider', I know things, spoiling of events.

Call it whatever just be good 🤞

Nice to see Xcom get some attention. Either of those Resi remakes would be awesome to see but had to vote for Xcom no matter how unlikely it is.

I would love to actually be surprised by something in the show. I miss the days when there weren't 'insiders' who feel the need to show how in the know they are by leaking stuff before the studios get their chance to reveal their games.
Half the fun of the big E3 shows was having games appear you had no idea were being made.

@themightyant @AK4tywill They clearly did a poor job of getting a more concise answer out of him if they all they wanted was a quote for marketing. Instead it seems they too much liberty in their ‘editing’ to find an answer they liked.

If you’re going to post an interview why not just transcribe it verbatim. Trying to edit it down and maintain the ‘essence’ of answers just seems a silly way to do something.

I wonder if Rockstar is concerned about a possible flood of employees who might be interested in jumping ship to join them.

Just checked a few minutes ago and thought it still wasn’t working. However noticed where it said game before the price there was a drop down arrow next to ‘Game’. Clicking on that showed a second option of also ‘Game’. Choosing that changed the price to download.
A bit of a mess to find but it is there.

Went scouring through my PS4 collection looking for Fallout 4 as I thought I might give the upgrade a go. After going back and forth checking them over I discovered I must have lent it to my brother ages ago and forgot. He lives the other end of the country so it looks like it is going to wait a while.
Unless they fix it to work with the Plus Collection version.

As someone who played and quite enjoyed the first 2, the 'play as anyone' feature just made it less appealing for me. An interesting idea but ultimately I'd much rather play as an interesting character with a detailed story.
Suffice to say I never got it but it seems a shame to see it just dumped as I feel it had plenty of potential still.
The invading multiplayer function was quite unique and fun.

Reassuring review. I’ve been eager for Top Spin’s return for a long time and looking forward to getting it.

The studio that made Top Spin was brought by 2K and merged into Hanger 13. I’m still optimistic that the people that made the series great are still there and will make this a quality return to it. 🤞

@get2sammyb Do you know if there will be a review coming before release?

I enjoyed The Office reference to Hide's Yakuza story with Darryl.

Pretty great trailer, certainly got my attention. If that's real-time it has to running on some super high spec pc. Eager to see how actual gameplay looks though.

Not sure about the player likeness for Carlos and Iga but excited for the game nonetheless.
Probably find if the game does well commercially it will get easier to get more players added to the game over time.

This has just become my most anticipated game. Fingers crossed they nail it.
