This would be absolutely fantastic. I love the remake. I feel bad though that I never finished it. I got stuck on the final boss and eventually gave up. Am I the only one who found it frustrating?
@KnightRider1982 Yes, it took a bit for the email address box to pop up for me too. The website froze temporarily when I submitted the info. Maybe the page is getting a lot of traffic?
Fantastic score and the humming is such a novel concept that it pulled me further into the game. It's a perfect melding of storytelling and music. The game looks absolutely gorgeous too. It is easy to get lost in the world.
So great to see! I’d love it if they announced GoW sequel this summer for a spring 2021 release. Everyone who gets a PS5 over the holiday 2020 can have something big to look forward to in the new year. That’s approximately three years of post-release development after GoW (2018).
They really missed the boat on this one. There could have been Mimir heads in boxes under Christmas trees this past season. I know I would have liked a talking head with unlimited knowledge as a present under my tree.
It's not great for me, but I am excited for people who just got a PS4 for Christmas. Getting to play three Uncharted games right off the bat is awesome.
I literally shouted in joy when this trailer hit the screen. It was a huge disappointment when it was cancelled. Here’s hoping the new Telltale can do it justice as IMO the first season is only rivaled by Walking Dead season 1.
After the Batman fake out last time, I’m not betting on any specific game showing up this time despite possible hints. I’ll just be pleasantly surprised by whatever they show us.
@Th3solution yes, this was an issue with Tony Hawk HD on PS3. For me, part of the appeal and certainly now part of the nostalgia factor is the original music. Without it, I'd be less interested in picking it up.
@JoeBlogs This was a problem in God of War among many other games. The issue for that game was blamed on employees sitting very close to monitors during play testing so the issue was never flagged. It should always be tested from an average home viewing distance away so it doesn’t happen. Always including a slider to increase text size in subtitles and in menus is a no brainer too.
So much time has passed, Wahlberg was announced as Nate in 2010, that he is old enough to play Sully now hahaha. Holland is 23 years old. When the movie comes out in 2055, after Wahlberg drops out again, he can play Sully.
I wish they had put these out sooner because I would have used the Kratos stencil.
Pro-tip that I learned last year from a friend:
Tape the stencil to the pumpkin and use a pointed instrument (pen tip, small screwdriver) to poke a series of small holes along the lines where you intend to cut. I always used to free hand with a marker, but the tiny holes allow you to stay in the lines better. You too can, "Be better!"
Remaking a PSOne era title should include more than a visual upgrade in my opinion. Game tech and craft have changed so much in 20 years. The fact that the camera and controls were not modified makes zero sense to me. It will likely appeal to a core audience of nostalgia seekers and very few other gamers.
"Stingy checkpoints mean dying will send you back to the very start of a level." This may be period accurate, but it makes the game a non-starter for me. I had the time as a kid in the PSOne era to replay levels endlessly, but it was frustrating even back then. I think many modern gamers will be turned off by this alone.
I'm very happy for fans of the original game, but I wish it had at least offered optional customizable controls/camera/checkpoints for those of us who want a more modern take on what seems like a wonderful world and character.
We've had a horror game for PS Plus during October since 2016:
2016 - Resident Evil
2017 - Amnesia Collection
2018 - Friday the 13th
I would wager that we will get one this year too:
RE7
Vampyr
Little Nightmares (sequel coming 2020)
Layers of Fear (sequel released this year)/Observer (by Bloober Team for people wanting an indie)
@RogerRoger I loved a lot of Origins, but my favorite part was his music. The inclusion of Christmas bells in Batman mood music was genius for the setting of the game.
Fall is in the air, so I've busted out the Halloween season games. First up is Slayaway Camp: Butcher's Cut. I love Friday the 13th series and the slasher genre, so I can't believe that I have never played this game before. It is gory and hilarious at the same time. A really fun and satisfying puzzle game similar to Hitman GO.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but if you honestly believe that the offerings this month are crap then I do not know what your ideal giveaway looks like. It seems like negativity for negativity's sake from many posters. Even if you own or have played both, this month is still an example of the level of games that PlayStation should be giving out with a PS Plus subscription.
I’m really confused by this headline and that one on Polygon. It doesn’t sound like there will be a new version of a company named Telltale Games, but rather that their projects are being revived under a new company banner. Is that correct?
Thus: “Telltale Games Projects Being Revived by New Company”
They need to let it die. Unless PlayStation Productions has a grand new plan, this cycle will continue indefinitely. There is obviously some mismanagement or creative disagreements which cause a string of five directors to last a year or so in the pre-production phase before very publicly disowning the movie in some cases. The wheels are spinning. But what do I know? Uncharted: The Movie coming July 2035
@Hootnoodle The Valkyries make for some epic battles. There have been few experiences more satisfying in my gaming life than defeating Queen Sigrun. It feels like an insurmountable feat the first few times that you try.
I'd be down for new single player adventures for both characters, if they skip micro-transactions at release and after then I'll buy. Otherwise, I have no interest in supporting that model.
@Rick_Deckard I have been interested in trying out the VR component of Wipeout too. Sammy's article last March made the VR version sound amazing and I just kept forgetting to pick it up.
February would be good. It’ll give enough space between it to coming out on PS4 and then an upgraded version serving as a launch title with PS5 in the fall.
@Cheski Exactly! Why not show this gameplay publicly? The announcement was very mediocre because they didn’t even really detail how the game is structured and whether there is a full single player campaign. I could care less about a Destiny style online open world. But if it has a single player full story mode like Spider-Man then I’m all in.
@Rob_230 Yes, the Drake brothers have reunited with Nolan as Iron Man and Troy Baker as Bruce Banner. There’s an interview clip from the press conference.
This game still seems right up my alley. The review text seemed to be leading to a much lower score than a respectable 7. Still really appreciate the review though as it touched on some gameplay issues that I can now anticipate rather than being surprised by them. I love classic film and atmospheric horror so I do not mind if it is not as scary as Silent Hill. I think there is a broad spectrum of what people gravitate toward in the horror genre in both games and movies. Some want to be disturbed, some to be frightened to the point of sweaty palms, some to be constantly jumping from their seats, and others to bask in a spooky/chilling world. I fall in the latter.
Finally, a release date! Will be pre-ordering as soon as it pops up on the digital store. I cannot wait to play this game and I know that I will want to replay it with the Curator's Cut.
With indications that Microsoft is going to drop details of their next system at E3, I wonder if Sony is hanging back a bit to counter more effectively. Going first is great, but undercutting the competition and learning from their mistakes may be more valuable. Regardless, a more powerful machine doesn’t necessarily trump a great games lineup as the current gen shows.

Great news! I must be in the minority as I loved DD almost as much as Crimes & Punishments. Definitely looking forward to more.

Definitely on my radar now. It looks beautiful and the story intriguing.

Re: Game of the Year: Best PSVR Game of 2019
I forgot about Ghost Giant. I’ll be picking it up soon. Thank you for the list. I really appreciate the PSVR content on PushSquare.
Re: The Wolf Among Us 2 Lives Again Following Re-Announcement
@Rob_230 I'm thinking they might get Batman as Wolf Among Us is based on the DC/Vertigo Fables comic so the partnership seems to be there.
Re: PS4 Exclusive Ghost of Tsushima Has One of the Best Box Arts of This Generation
That is absolutely gorgeous. My most anticipated game of next year.

Re: Rumour: The Last of Us 2 Delayed to Spring 2020
I would rather it be highly polished and the best it can possibly be than rushed.
Uncharted 4 was delayed multiple times. Originally slated for end of 2015 to March 18, 2016 to April 26 to May 10. It was worth the wait.
