Upskirters are a creepy bunch. PS5 Pro should add electro-shock functionality to the controller so you get violently shocked in addition to getting kicked in the face.
...though some of you may take that as a "feature." Can't win.

How in the flipping heck is Silent Hill 2 not even on the list here. The amount of work that went into that game — sound, haptics, etc. — is worthy of nomination.
I’ve never watched a game awards and now I’m for sure never going to. Credibility is non-existent.
As others are saying, why can’t DLC just be in its own category for best dlc?!

Really worth the extra money to some folks?

Awesome, now all the devs are working to add support for their games when they could be working on new things instead. Wondering if this will create a small stagnation in new game releases over the ne... ugh... it doesn't matter.

I can see them doing 3 next since it takes place in the same regions of 2 (not saying this is a bad thing but re-using assets and environments would be smart from a business perspective). If I could pick though, 1 would be the one that “needs” a remake if any. 1 has its own charm with the distorted visuals and stuff and I love that but it would be great to see it on the same level as 2 now.
I just got to the “3rd level” in SH2 and it’s by far the creepiest, anxiety inducing game I’ve ever played. Highly recommend playing with headphones plugged into the control. If you think the graphics and taptics are given attention to detail, good god the sound is on another level of immersion; immaculate!

That has to be Douglas Cartland‘a hat from Silent Hill 3! I love this nod…

So dumb. Was looking forward to playing this but I won't ever be subbing for this, or any other game.
I already sub to Nintendo and I'm not having Sony stick another wallet IV into me for syphoning funds every month.

I have no clue how some of you played through already and even one or two of you even played through 4... that's right, 4 times!!
I started on launch day and I just only finished the hospital. Granted, I am scouring every nook and cranny because I'm loving the memories you come across and finding extra ammo and health has saved my butt. I'm playing on Normal for combat and puzzles and I am finding myself dying quite often and really trying to conserve health and ammo. I'm finally getting the hang of enemy attack patterns. Some of the enemies just tank through my attacks and I get punished dark souls style which is on me I know but... It's tough for me, I'll say that much.
I guess I got bad at games over the years haha...

By the article, companies bolstered up the work force during the height of the pandemic so they hired all these people. Everything grew proportional. Now they're shaving off the excess they hired because the height is over...
Sounds like these companies --Bandai Namco-- also need to taper down their expectations. The demand is not down, it just might be down in comparison to when everyone was staying home and gaming. Their expectations can't stay inflated like they were during the height. What nonsense. All I hear is greed and it blows my mind how easily things are considered "a flop" nowadays.

@Loamy I fought pyramid head last night in the remake and clinched the entire time. Was dreadfully scared in the lead up to that fight. I feel like I can’t get comfortable with the mechanics and that keeps it feeling fresh constantly. Genuinely didn’t know what to expect in that fight. Pleasantly surprised. I love it so much.

I have a huge backlog. See, what I did was just take one arm and swish the entire lot off the table and now I just have this one game sitting there: Silent Hill 2. It's so good so far! I hate to compare it to Alan Wake 2 but I'm enjoying it much more than that. They're both over-the-shoulder horror games and so that's why. Alan Wake 2's scale is massive whereas Silent Hill 2 is more concise and not as daunting going on item hunts, at least so far.

I'm a huge fan of the original as well so maybe I'm biased but for anyone the fence, it's truly great so far. NICE JOB, BLOOBER + KONAMI!!!

I find it hard to believe Delta is not having any new lines recorded or re-recorded.
I’m certain it’s for MGS3elta or that fan film you mentioned…

Jelly, checking in 🙋‍♂️

I can’t wait to watch this broadcast. I’m so excited for this sequel! I have about 150 hours I think in the first. It really got me into electric vehicles and storage/carrying gear. I already loved bags but now I shop for them differently. I have a Bridges sticker on my OneWheel

Gotta love incels, man. Seriously feel bad for the devs having to deal with this low-level crap.

They need to make the game a little more "grimy" if they're going to make the graphics better. The game looks fantastic but it's also very sterile and bright. At least make a setting to turn things a bit more dull and lifelike.

Im trying hard to think of a few reasons why they would be announcing — talking about — games that are already out. I've only thought of 2 and they're not exciting, and may even be considered bad:
Either there is DLC coming for the games listed, or;
They are choosing to leave all the folks who purchased a PS5 thinking we were getting a next-gen console behind and focus on this PS5 Pro which was probably supposed to be the console that released in place of the standard PS5.

This is ridiculous. Like @Gaia093 said above, glad Shredder's Revenge is getting an upgrade... It's insane to think they expected us to play it in its current state. This is exactly what I was talking about in some of my previous posts: Why do we need a "pro" system when we are playing games with pixel graphics? Outside of tiny graphical bumps, what else is there to improve? Load times? Wasn't the standard PS5 supposed to be like a front-runner for quick load times?

Ya'll, I'm real sour since the announcement of the Pro, if you can't tell.

Maybe they should have led with this video or one similar where you could actually see a difference. Still not getting it because I don't sit and stare at graphics when I, y'know, play games.

…uh… on the original PS5 looks… “awful?”
What is this person smoking?

Don't forget folks, it's only going to be the AAA publishers who are really utilizing all these features. If you're playing games like that new Castlevania collection, or Slave Zero X, or Shin Megami Tensei, etc. what the hell is the point?
It takes massive budgets to make those graphically heavy games and those are usually the ones on the chopping block in all the articles recently. This whole thing, pricing, the improvements, it's all so stupid all around.

Guess I'm not a pro.

@devil76 Yeah it's honestly wild to think about... Prices are on the rise for everything and it's really hard to justify what I won't even call a convenience upgrade.
...that being said, speaking of VR2, I'm kicking myself for not getting VR2 while it was on that recent big sale.

Enjoy it, folks.
Just like Apple having the gall to release that new VR headset at that outrageous price in this economical climate, here comes Sony with this now . Who can afford these things?
I consider myself well off but there is no way in hell even I can afford this, and even if I could, it’s be really hard to even justify it. The PS5 is perfectly fine as is. I’m actually a bit disgusted.

Came to add my two cents:
Cool for those who want it but personally, my PS5 still feels brand new to me. I have zero interest in a pro model at this time.

Oooooooffffffff
Ouch.
Hisss…
Guffaw….

That’s rough, guys. This was a hard sell even for folks who like these online shooters.
:: goes back to waiting for silent hill 2 ::

3 was my least favorite because of the arduous camo management; constantly swapping and blah blah …
Also me: I’m getting this even if I feel like I’m betraying Kojima.

@Wiceheid perhaps you can hold down a button to force walking no matter how far you press the stick. Or maybe you can click the analog stick to lock it to walking only or click it again to unlock and let it be 100% pressure sensitive… just throwing out ideas. You make a good point.

Silent Hill 2, Death Stranding 2, and Small Saga are my top three, and maybe only three, games I'm looking forward to at the moment.
It's not that I don't think anything else is going to be good, its just that I don't have much time.

Well I’ll be getting this!
Really enjoy these kinds of games especially when playing with an SO. Makes for a fun spooky night.

I've been cool with everything I've seen so far, but after they redid James' face, my hype has been elevated even more. I think it looks fantastic and people need to stop bandwagon-hating on Bloober until they actually see the final result. Yes, Bloober has never made a 100% amazing game but neither have a ton of other devs and they don't garner nearly as much hate.
October can't come soon enough!

I’ve never been into the 3D Sonic games, they just seem like a bunch of random things thrown together and too automatic. Adventure 1 and 2 seemed good but I never played them.
That being said, I’ve heard really good things about Generations (even though I felt the 3DS entry’s level design was abysmal (random pits and obtuse design leading to nonsensical deaths)).
I may get this on sale down the road.

The game looks amazing. But... am I the only one who immediately thought that everything is hard to see? Like, everything is so detailed and such that the backgrounds and foregrounds start to blend and I can't tell what are obstacles and what are bullets, etc.
It's a me problem likely, I know. But I'll likely have to skip this because of it.

@TheAmbienWalrus Ah! SAME! The rally tracks in 3 were always my favorite. I need an entire rally mode if not an entire rally game.
In the meantime, EA sports WRC is pretty solid if you haven’t tried it yet!

Seeing that Impreza makes me so happy. I’ll be picking this game back up when this update drops just so I can get that car.

Ok I watched it. I’m sold. I can’t imagine I’ll be any good at this because I think I’ll be laughing the entire time. Looks insane lol

I’m flabbergasted that I’m reading from lots of you in here that you’re going to skip playing the DLC because there aren’t any trophies…. Like, what?
It makes no sense to me whatsoever that companies would lose thousands of sales because there aren’t trophies. What the heck planet and timeline am I in. 🤦‍♂️

This right here, folks, is one of my most anticipated games coming out. It’s so nice to see it’s still “alive” and coming.
I have a humble little list full of what I think are going to be heavy hitter games.
Oh, what the heck, here’s my list:
-Silent Hill 2
-R-Type Tactics I & II Cosmos
-WOLFHOUND
-Old School Rally
-Over Jump Rally
-Small Saga
-Dragonyhm
-Dracula: Dark Reign

…and last but absolutely not least:
-EARTHION

I’d buy it… I loved that game back in the day. The story was … 🤏… but the gameplay was 🤌

I love the use of the venue for this event LOL
This is something I wish would happen and it actually did.

Nothing to do with religion, it's just a very fitting venue aesthetically and is consistent with the subject matter.
What would you choose: Best Buy, or big box store, or a church. A trailer in a parking lot with a gaming rig or a church.
I'd pick the church over any other venue.

@Fritz167 (playable) demo? There is no playable demo for SH2 unless you’re confusing it with the almost completely unrelated demo for SH: the short message.

It hurts me to see Silent Hill 2 with such low votes.
That’s my number 1 right now next to SMT:V

@PuppetMaster sounds like you should just play the original if you want absolutely nothing changed 🤷‍♂️
I think they modified just enough so that it doesn’t feel like I’m playing the exact same game. Things will be more or less fresh this way.

@Americansamurai1 This is the exact vibe I get as well.

What else can I say? Enjoy having your eyes bug out of your head, while your tongue rolls out of your mouth like a red carpet, while you pound on the table with a closed fist yelling “AHHH-OOOO-GAH!”

@EchoRange Maliketh would like a word with you. I'd have mentioned Malenia but she's optional.
I don't know, Maliketh was tough as hell for me anyway.

@Hobbesyall Thanks for this. I won't even waste my time watching it now. What's the point of a game trailer if it's not going to show the gameplay? These kinds of trailers are infuriating.

This calls back the late game puzzles in Tunic. Ugh.. that game was freaking amazing and beautiful.
Definitely planning to get this Animal Well game very soon I’m starting to get FOMO.

I’ve only ever played 1 and 2 on their original release. Never touched or looked into any others because I could just tell it was the same thing over and over, re-skinned as we say.
That being said, I did just buy the Ezio collection on sale today (will be playing for the first time since the Xbox 360 days!) and I will be taking a look at black flag remake (if that’s actually a thing) since that seems to be folks’ favorite and it does genuinely seem cool and different.
I always wondered at what point do we find out that assassins creed is actually in the same universe as Hitman? I always thought they were going to reveal that Hitman is actually just assassins creed but in present time.

I’m in Italy right now, just left Florence and now in Rome. Guess who bought the Ezio Collection for 9.99? 😁
Haven’t played it since I think Xbox360 days so I’m excited to revisit…

I’m mainly looking for some Silent Hill 2 news. Everything else is a cherry on top. …and I hope there are a lot of cherries.

PS5 Pro I couldn’t care less about personally but I’ll still want to see what will be so “must have” about it.
