I like playing a short, chill game every now and then and gave this a go as it is a PS+ game. Completed it over a couple of days and really enjoyed it. I will jump back in for this.
I was thinking about finally getting around to starting it soon so will see what's new.
Assuming the third series of The Witcher releases in December like the first 2, I think they are probably planning on revealing/releasing the PS5 update then.
I played the first as it was one of the free PS+ games. Got into it so much I got the platinum. Will be up for throwing them some money for this. Great game for when you only have 15-30 minutes to mess around with.
It's strange, I love X-Com, I really enjoyed the card game based Thronebreaker (Gwent) and I like a lot of Marvel stuff but I just have very little enthusiasm for this. I will have to keep an eye on the reviews or see if they do a demo to maybe raise my interest.
I’ve only seen the first episode so far and wasn’t exactly engaged with it. The scene in the headmaster’s office was about the only time I was engrossed by it. I’ll probably see where it goes at some point but I don’t feel any strong desire to carry on with it at the moment.
@LiamCroft Yeah, I was only messing around. Whilst I don't doubt there are some in the company that don't like stuff leaking they're not going to change plans because of it. Everyone was just assuming today from the 30 anyway.
I'm going to need the collectibles guide. I did a collectible run-through before but somehow came up a couple short and if I remember correctly the game doesn't say which.
I already had RE3R installed so had a look. A compilation icon appears with a box for PS5 upgrade but when I select it the options then are 'play' and 'view PS5 version' but selecting the later just takes you to the game page. Guess not quite up yet.
I was really excited when I heard it was from the XCOM developers. Then I heard it's card based and my enthusiasm waned. I'll keep an eye on it though.
Well Sony is on the list of developers/publishers in the show so why not this. A quick teaser with a date and saying more to follow soon. Get everyone talking about a Sony game at a mixed event then put out a SoP in a month or two for the full blow out. The precedent has been set with Horizon doing the date at one of these.
While I do very much miss the excitement of having lots of game reveals in a space of a few days there is no doubt it's demise is for the benefit of the developers. The time and effort that went into producing the vertical slices of polished gameplay for a specific date each year must have been a pain. Now they can reveal stuff whenever it happens to be ready for public showing.
How much notice do people need to buy something? I can easily see an August or even very early September release date reveal if it's coming out in November.
@Voltan I recently watched Pacific Rim: The Black made by Netflix and think that style could work well with Horizon. You're right that to do it well in live action would probably be extremely expensive.
If it had been just the first quote I was thinking he could have meant second game (not necessarily DS related) but the next quote is pretty unambiguous.
Wouldn't be surprised if they are planning on trying to get it ready for when the third Netflix series launches (which I think is near the end of the year) for the extra exposure to the franchise as a whole.
I brought Mutant Year Zero as I absolutely love the X-Com games. However I hit a massive wall about an hour into the game and just couldn't progress and although planned to give it another shot I've yet to get back to it. I'll be curious to see how this one develops as I really liked the element of exploration between battles.

Re: PS Studios Malaysia Working on Top Secret PS5 Games
I don't get why everyone is discussing remakes in an article about an expanding studio that can help create art assets for other Playstation Studio?
Re: Amicia Displays Her Deadly Crossbow Skills in A Plague Tale: Requiem's Latest Trailer

Re: These Could Be All the Atari Anniversary Collection Games on PS5, PS4

Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Sneaks to PS5, PS4 in 2023, Priced at $50
I'm at least optimistic it will be a solid return to the series' roots but time will tell.

Great game for when you only have 15-30 minutes to mess around with.
Re: Blistering Barnacles! Embark on a New Adventure in Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharoah
I hope it turns out good. Maybe it can drum up enough interest for Spielberg to do another film, I thought it was a lot of fun.

Re: Poll: Did You Ever Use PS5 Accolades?
The very few I gave out and received were all for Wreckfest. Judging by the comments was it only dangerous drivers giving them out?

Re: Shots Fired in First RoboCop: Rogue City PS5 Gameplay Trailer
I hope I get to say this next June.

Re: Find Out if The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Is Preciousss from 1st September on PS5, PS4
There's a reason it's untold methinks. You never know it might end up fun but it doesn't look that appealing to me.
At least the upcoming TV series might be good.
Re: Try Not to Cringe At This Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown PS5, PS4 Trailer
How can be a racing game trailer be cringe I thought? It turns out Sammy is very accurate indeed.
Re: Open World, Survival Terminator Game Will Be Back
I'd never heard of Nacon Studio Milan so did a quick google and it seems they've only made a motor-bike racing game. Still you got to start somewhere.
Re: Shots Fired in First RoboCop: Rogue City PS5 Gameplay Trailer
I wonder if you'll find baby food in the levels to restore your health?
Re: Shots Fired in First RoboCop: Rogue City PS5 Gameplay Trailer
Looks like they have a pretty cool looking Murphy/Robocop ....for cutscenes. Shame it's a FPS but I'll keep an eye out on it to see how it turns out.

Everyone was just assuming today from the 30 anyway.
Re: God of War Ragnarok's PS5, PS4 Release Date Reveal Was Delayed from Today
Maybe they moved it a day to make the Snitch wrong.
Re: Resident Evil 2 (PS5) - A Cheap and Fairly Cheerful Upgrade
@CyberWolf Yes. When you put the disc in there will be an option to download the PS5 version. You will still have to have the disc in to play though.
Re: Resident Evil 3 Walkthrough: Tips, Tricks, and All Collectibles
I'm going to need the collectibles guide. I did a collectible run-through before but somehow came up a couple short and if I remember correctly the game doesn't say which.

Was planning some more playthroughs of 2&3 Remakes for trophies anyway so can do it with the upgrades now. Probably 7 too.
Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Still Set for 2022 in New Trailer
Looking forward to this but a little surprised by no date.
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest Live a Show to Remember?
It was pretty much exactly as expected.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Edgerunners Anime Actually Looks Awesome in Teaser Trailer
I'll certainly check it out in September, it looks impressive. I wonder if they will try and get the DLC ready for when this is on.
Re: XCOM Inspired Superhero Game Marvel's Midnight Suns Brightens Summer Game Fast
I was really excited when I heard it was from the XCOM developers. Then I heard it's card based and my enthusiasm waned. I'll keep an eye on it though.

Re: Resident Evil 4 Remake Announced for PS5, Out March 2023

Re: Sony Confirms Horizon, God of War, and Gran Turismo TV Shows in Development
@Voltan I liked the first movie, I've not yet seen the sequel. I think the series is worth checking out, I enjoyed it.

Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Protects the Precious on PS5, PS4 This September
They should of got Rob from Playstation Access for the voice. He does a more accurate impression of Serkis' Gollum.
Re: Mini Review: A Monster's Expedition (PS5) - Chill Out with This Relaxing and Intelligent Puzzler
I've certainly been finding myself looking for more chilled relaxing games to play alongside the big games. Looks interesting.

Re: Hands On: Matchpoint: Tennis Championships Could Be the Ace We've Been Waiting For
Top Spin 4 would be a remaster I would buy in a heart beat.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Breaks Silence with Stream on 15th February
It would be nice to finally take the game out of the wrapper. I still hold out hope they can turn this game around and regain some reputation.
Re: Maybe Don't Look at Horizon Forbidden West's PS5, PS4 Trophy List
@Voltan that's pretty much all I want to know before starting a game. Missable trophies can be a pain.
Re: Sony Acquires Guns Up Team Valkyrie Entertainment
It seems quite sensible to have a team of devs that can be easily moved from project to project to help other Studios meet deadlines.
