I’m happy leaving TLoU behind. Part 1 is my favourite. Even though I enjoyed part 2, it was nowhere as special and it won’t get that same greatness part 1 has. It’s not the same without Joel so for me it’s time to move onto new things
I’d never buy it digital. Not a game I care much for anyway but no physical means I’m fine waiting for a PS+ release. Don’t have enough time to play the games I have so it’s not a loss for me
Not for me. Hated the first game because I hated the character and I hated that the first game give me the fear of having my save file deleted. Would be a waste of a State of Play to show that game off. I’d rather Xbox just reveal it on Twitter
I think they are better off keeping the big IPs exclusives on PS and release lower budget games on PC and Online games day and date. Some big titles that aren’t seen as much of a mascot should make their way to PC eventually, just not titles as big as Uncharted/God of War/etc.
Don’t think I will. Not a big racer fan but wouldn’t rule it out entirely. Maybe wait for a big sale or see if they release it on PS+ sometime.
Tried it on Xbox but I didn’t use the platform enough to ever feel comfortable with the controller and the buttons got me mixed up with Nintendo so it was very off putting. On the Dualsense I suppose it will feel far more comfortable and enjoyable for me
I’m not willing to pay more than £60 for anything. Will wait for a sale if it’s any higher. Wait long enough and I may aswell just play certain games from PS+/GamePass instead
Probably would have been better to have shown the game off a lot earlier instead of pushing on with the development. Could have made a better game with fans early criticism. I’m not interested in an Overwatch-alike game. I hope the developers get a chance to make a proper shooter.
Make the game free or put on PS+ to give it a boost. Then move on with the next thing. The game has already become the joke on the internet I don’t think people would care for it anymore even if they managed to turn it into an amazing game later on
I hate the silence. Don’t mind it in some games so it depends on what game it is. A handful of Nintendo’s I don’t like it. Such as Zelda games, I hate the silence of Link. It was fine for older games and handheld games but it’s time for a change.
I don’t buy the excuse leaving it up to our imagination. I think it’s just an excuse to justify cheapening out on paying for voice actors.
Pokémon is much worse though. Older games are fine. But sword/shield and violet/scarlet, the big openings and battle moments make the characters look stupid. We hear the sound of the crowd cheering but the characters have no sound. May aswell just skip the sound entirely or play in mute. There was a video up of a fan doing a voice for one of those characters and it was a night and day difference. The fan voice is far better.
If leaving it up to the player’s imagination is the reason for the silence then they should include it as an option in the game. But I’d like to see them adding voices going forward.
I'm hoping the next game is a brand new one but for the 30th anniversary I'd love to see an announcement for either collection for Xillia 1&2, Graces F, Hearts R and Abyss.
Wouldn't say I'm excited but I am looking foward to playing the campaign. It's a nice little bingeable game in a 1 month sub or take out a trial rather than buying it. Not interested in the multiplayer anymore and it will be a busy gaming season that will free me up to buy other games.
I'm not a fan of mobile games but if they made games like the PSP and Vita then I could be interested. I just don't want to see them using their main studios to make games for it and would prefer to see them partnering with others to use their IPs
Might play a few games on a dummy account just to see what the game is like but I don't want that game added to my trophy list unless it gets a platinum. Adding the platinum can excourage me to play more. Looks ugly in my collection to have 100% but no Platinum to go along with my other games
If I ever plan to take out GP someday, this would be a nice bingeable game in a 1 month/trial sub. Haven't commited to multiplayer in a long time now so I only play the campaign. Don't need to buy it now
Should have been included with the full game. Was clearly cut to be a cash grab and a "generous bonus" on GamePass. On the bright side, at least it's not made into a Golden/Royal game charging full price
Started playing the other day and it's amazing! Going to focus more on Final Fantasy but I'll try fit in a couple games a day. Took a chance on the game out of hype and I love it!
Played some of the beta and I liked the start of it because of AC Black Flag and seeing the sharks. But then after a while I have decided it's not for me. There's nothing "AAAA" about it.
Pretty game to look at in the background and water but the character looked like plastic. The hair is terrible and the gameplay feels boring. From what I played so far it just feels like a fetch this and fetch that game
I would have preferred to see Xbox completing against Sony properly with great games that makes us have to choose which platform we're going to play for that month. But Xbox lost their way with that and GP has been hurting games. The quality drops, they break games into parts and it pushes to release a broken game to get fresh meat onto the service then fix it later.
I hate the thought of games going the way of Netflix. Netflix was amazing once. Now it's just rubbish with a lot of great shows I liked either came to their end or got cancelled. It's filled with so much stuff from different countries with bad voice overs and i hate that. Bringing in ads and everything. And to make things worse, the shows or movies I want to watch, I'm stuck with the service to watch them because of the lack of DVDs. That's a future I don't want to see happening with gaming, especially when those games get removed.
On the other hand, more games is welcome even though they are not to my taste. I'll be happy enough getting to play Indiana Jones on PS5 should it come over even though I'm still disappointed with the first person.
I always thought Xbox and PS is too much of the same console that we only need one or the other unless it has exclusives you need/want. Nintendo stands out for different kind of experience. So in that case, we only need one console to exist.
At the same time I would hate to see a future where Sony takes advantage of us because only Xbox completes against it. Xbox could have been in a stronger place if they made a much bigger range of different games for different taste.
I believe them. Because currently they are trying to focus on current sales. How about some promises we would be offered an upgrade for free should their plans change in weeks/months time
I'm happy the next game won't be Part 3. I'm just tired of the series now so I want to see something new. The remake and the remasters played a part in making me tired of it.
While I did enjoy Part 2, it left me feeling it didn't need to be made, it's not the same without Joel and I just want something new now so I'm not interested in a Part 3 anymore. Maybe trailers will win me over but I'd rather see something fresh and new.
I hope so! Would be amazing to play PS4 and PS5 games on the go properly. Would be nice if it could have Vita features too so we could play our Vita games.
I still buy physical and always will as long as they exist but I'm going to cut down more on how many i buy. I can't see myself buying digital anymore but I wouldn't rule it out entirely.
When I look at my collection I think to myself that is a LOT of games I won't go back to. Most of them will just sit there unplayed again. And if I spent that much on those games brand new, imagine being stuck with them in digital while paying more.
Since the price went up this gen, I've already been cutting down on how many games I've been buying and now I only see myself buying the best of the best while I wait for others to go on sale. But some games like Avatar have opened my eyes to say I'm making the same mistake and need to cut back on more. That is a game I should be waiting to enter PS+ instead.
Should a digital only future happen then I see myself just waiting for the games to go onto PS+ as I'd rather play it on that service than to buy digital. Sometimes I think about trading in a lot of my games that I won't go back to, like that Avatar. One thing that stops me is that I did that with every PS3 game when the PS4 came out and then regretted it so I rebought the games i want to replay. My PS4 collection is too big and I don't want to grow the PS5 library in the same way.
Travelling should be fun, fun enough for the player to feel they don't need or want to fast travel. But fast travel should always be included.
People have different reasons for needing or wanting that. Especially trophy hunters. Travelling won't be fun for everyone even if it was the best designed travelling ever made. Burnout and bordom is a thing too
Very Atlus thing to do. And that's why I'm happy to not buy this game until much much much later. Will play it when it drops price to dirt cheap, goes onto PS+ or they make a better version later on. Don't have the time for it anyway and Final Fantasy is getting my money instead.
I do miss his old ways but I also love that he's matured now. They can still make games of his younger self again to bring it back. Can't be an angry man forever unless the next game has him being tricked into killing Atreus
Maybe they shouldn't have cancelled at all but instead just freeze it until Sony could get/build a studio to take over to support it after ND had finished their job. Shame they didn't just make it a normal multiplayer game
Good move! Single player is where most of Sonys studios shine best and to be stuck supporting a live service game rather than pushing on making new games would really suck.
Little sad that we won't get the multiplayer at all but the push for live service is the problem. A normal multiplayer would have been fine. Live service would have meant no more big campaign games for a long time (if they didn't go on to make another).
Bungie shouldn't even have a say in anything, just lay out guidelines but that's it. I think it's better to just leave the live service stuff to them and let ND aswell as their other first party studios to keep doing what they do best
I think it will come eventually but EG will keep passing the game to another studio until they find one suitable or Disney is trying to end their agreement so they can pass it onto another themselves.
It used to be amazing and felt like a second Christmas. Then it got stale. When Sony left, it was pretty much dead already. Was already dying before then
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is the only one that hits my list the most. Someday I'd get Persona 3 but not buying day 1. Lost Soul Aside and Star Wars Outlaws have my interest too
Personally I think the game is too far away and that Xbox hasn't locked it down yet. It may be made by an Xbox studio but it's not their IP. Marvel could be wanting it on PS too for that money.
I think that if MS was to have it locked down, then they may have to pay more to keep it exclusive to make up for the loss of PS sales or re-negotiate for it. Just because Spider-Man is exclusive to PS, it doesn't mean Blade will be exclusive to Xbox. Depends on the agreement they make
Them developers are just easily triggered and clearly lack some sense of humour so their tweets just came off as immature children that think their better than everyone else. #WhySoSerious
Great show with plenty of games to look forward to. Except for MS, they haven't shown a single thing of interest for me. Out of all the Marvel IPs they could have chosen, their studio is working on one I don't care for. Never liked that studio anyway so it makes sense they would pick something I'm not a fan of.
