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.
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.
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. 🤞
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.
It has to be the same person giving 1 every time yes? Somewhere on this site is an account with a game collection of tons of 1 star games. If it could be found I'd be curious if anything isn't a 1.
The studio has a lot of pressure for a hit with this one. Having to come out in a post BG3 world certainly isn't going to help. I hope they can pull it off though. I think we'll finally see some gameplay in the summer.
Guessing this is still a while off as the footage looked like the original. I'm thinking this was just about the announcement rather than showing off the rework. The camera change sounds interesting.
Every Hideo game seems to get crazier than the last. Quite enjoyed the first without being amazed by it. This looks just too bizarre to not want to experience it at least once.
One to keep an eye on then. I'm curious though, has Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz been the Creative Director from inception and they are just announcing it now or has he just taken over the role from someone else? Anyway Thronebreaker has an amazing story, it's a shame so few will experience it due to it's card based gameplay.
I'm probably one of the rare few who are fine with Sony's first party studios staying completely silent until they are near completion and almost ready to launch. I've always got plenty to play and don't need to know about anything more than several months away. My only hope is they continue to let their studios make the games they want to make and are passionate about creating.
The bit that doesn’t seem to be covered here is that he shows no remorse for his actions or any willingness to stop. It’s not so much about punishment but protecting everyone from someone mentally incapable of realising they are doing something wrong. We can hope that the hospital is able to find some kind of treatment that may help him overcome this and return to society.
@AdamNovice yeah I've only done an hour or so but there is already more to it than I thought. Just unlocked the 'new rage' which was great.
Unfortunately I've already had a Youtube thumbnail spoil the end so I immediately blocked that channel. Still, I forgot how pleasurable the combat was, even if it's taking a while to get back into the swing of it.
When I saw it was a roguelike my enthusiasm was tempered. However after catching some of Playstation Access' stream this evening I'm eager again. There were some narrative beats and also a neat new combat style I won't spoil.
I enjoyed the FFVII Remake enough that I'd like to play the next part but probably much later when it's reduced. Dragon's Dogma 2 has me curious so I'll keep an eye on it. Overall though the only one I am actually excited for is Star Wars Outlaws. Fine with me though, I've got plenty to play for the time being.
Light no Fire was the most interesting for me and I'll certainly keep an eye on Exodus. The former could be something great to get lost in as long as there are interesting things to discover. Also looks pretty crazy (as well as current NMS) for such a small studio. The later could help fill the void left by Mass Effect and hopefully lead to becoming a new studio whose output we can look forward to.
Only ones I’ve disagreed with the majority on are Genshin getting the popularity award ( surely the player base is too large plus the ‘gift’ for voting) and the Elden Ring dlc. Pretty sure a developer said recently not to hear anything about for a while yet.
I was a big fan of 5 at the time but it definitely felt like the pendulum had fully swung into action game. For me 4 is already a tad too action focused and is why 2 is my favourite. I think the original is sitting out in the cold and could do with remaking to have the main saga all together in the same style.
How many views do we think this will get in the first day? I imagine the trailer will mostly just show the setting with a small glimpse of the main character (s).
I have just turned off my PS5 having got the platinum trophy after finishing my first playthrough. I'm glad I waited so long to eventually play it as I loved it in it's current form. Once the update hits tomorrow, I'll start a different background and try out the new stuff ready for the expansion next week.
I've only just recently finished my first playthrough and loved it. I'm still playing and mopping up trophies. In the process of deciding what to go for before the update and what to leave for after. I think I'm going to start a second playthrough with a female V with a different background for the changes and DLC.
Playstation Access also mentioned about a special video (Spider-Man related) tomorrow. I've got a feeling there might be a lot of hands on impressions dropping tomorrow.

Re: Talking Point: What Are Your PS5 Predictions for Summer Game Fest 2024?
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.

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

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.
Re: Preview: TopSpin 2K25 Might Be Worth the 13-Year Wait
This has just become my most anticipated game. Fingers crossed they nail it.

Re: Another PlayStation State of Play Broadcast Announced for Next Week, Featuring Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
@Loamy I would imagine this is a much shorter one just focusing on FF yeah. Maybe an immediate demo drop announcement.
Re: New Silent Hill 2 PS5 Trailer Shows Combat, Puzzles, and More
It has a very similar look to RE4 so they are going to have to work hard to make sure it doesn't suffer in comparison.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Director Doesn't Get Fan 'Consternation' Surrounding Re-Release
@themightyant you're talking too much sense in this comment section.
I find myself thinking of the Ricky Gervais joke about guitar lessons increasingly often when checking comment sections of late.
Re: TopSpin 2K25 Brings Back Ace Tennis Series After 13-Year Absence
Hopefully they have worked off what they already had for Topspin 4 and just update it and improve it visually. I really hope they get this right.

Re: Baldur's Gate 3 Update 5 Is Monstrous, Adds an Entire Epilogue, New Difficulty Settings, and Much More
@ShogunRok I fully intend to replay but going to play something else first before going back. At least that is the plan 🤔
I hope the update also includes remembering if you have hidden silly hats on characters when you swap them out of the party.

Unified inventory!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'll have to load up my final save and check out that epilogue stuff too.

Re: Rumour: Dragon Age Dreadwolf Really Is Set to Release in 2024
I hope they can return to form and it ends up good. Otherwise I'm not sure they even get a chance to do another Mass Effect.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (PS5) - Excellent Expansion Is Cyberpunk's Blood and Wine
I have just turned off my PS5 having got the platinum trophy after finishing my first playthrough. I'm glad I waited so long to eventually play it as I loved it in it's current form.
Once the update hits tomorrow, I'll start a different background and try out the new stuff ready for the expansion next week.
Re: Hands On: Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update Is an Outstanding, Game-Changing Overhaul
@Splat I’m doing the exact flip of that. Just finished my male V nomad and going to do a female V street kid for the update/expansion.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Gigantic 2.0 Update Out 21st September, Five Days Before Phantom Liberty
I've only just recently finished my first playthrough and loved it. I'm still playing and mopping up trophies. In the process of deciding what to go for before the update and what to leave for after.
I think I'm going to start a second playthrough with a female V with a different background for the changes and DLC.
Re: New Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Trailer Is All About the Open World

Looks really impressive in the trailer.
Re: Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways DLC Is All About Ada Wong, Out Next Week
Very pleasant surprise from the SoP. So soon too. I'm sure it will be reasonably priced🤞.
Should be able to squeeze it in before Phantom Liberty.
