I welcome a rewind feature. If you don’t like it, don’t use it.🤷‍♂️
I never got upset with a game for letting me change the difficulty during gameplay. …I’ve never used that option but I also never held it against the game knowing it was there.
Options are great, it’s just up to the person to decide if they want to use it.

ONE. HUNDRED. PERCENT. Getting this.

@Kienda thank you for this!! I’d buy you a caffeinated bevvie if I could

That really gets under my skin… some people just aren’t aware of themselves or their surroundings a lot of the time. I sadly write this as an overly aware westerner. Between the whole Trump presidency crap and now this I’m so ashamed to be a westerner. 😫
Edit: turns out, it wasn’t westerners 😮‍💨

Article title is hard mode.

I for one appreciate the warning. Wouldn’t you want to be warned if you were affected by something mentioned? Just because you haven’t been affected doesn’t mean someone else hasn’t.

Might try and hit the Seattle or LA one… no Portland, womp womp…

I actually got choked up watching this. My best friend and wife just had a daughter in December so it hit extra hard on that level. He’s also getting this and is a huge fan of Kojima/MGS/DS. I’m freaking stoked for this game…

WOW this looks stellar from the trailer. What I love about it is the grittiness and how it’s not so bright and colorful like GT7. Don’t get me wrong, GT7 is beautiful and dreamlike but sometimes I want my sim to be more sim-y like this with higher contrast etc.
Will likely get this if it reviews well!

So freaking excited to get some news on this. It’s been a delicate balance between avoiding spoilers/keeping things a surprise and trying to get some release date rumors and the like.
This is my number 1 anticipated game this year… hoping it releases sooner than “late 2025”, although that’s perfectly fine all things considered, I guess.
Either way, can’t wait!

I forget if I had Underground or 4 for GameCube back then (pretty sure it was 4) but either way it’ll be cool to revisit this series again. Absolutely loved 1+2 and I’m hoping my wife wants to take turns playing 3+4 together again like we did 1+2!

I’m laughing so hard… this is INSANE.

Loving the attempt to bring the old style gameplay into the world of high fidelity graphics.
I’ll wait for a review as it seems there is some jank to it. Looks promising though!

I learned in this comment section that this is not Forza Motorsport like I’ve played on Xbox back in the day (haven’t played a Forza game since 2!)
Instead this is sort of a spinoff, more arcadey racer.
That’s kind of cool and smart considering there’s already a masterclass sim racer available, optimized for the system: GT7.

I’m still not sure if I’m getting this or not. I’d kind of rather another Dirt game or something instead of this. I do remember loving Forza Motorsport back in the day though so we shall see what reviews say. I’m one of those who thinks $60 is fair: it’s brand new game for some, myself included. I expect to pay $60 for new games.

@Jimmer-jammer this is exactly what I was going to say. It makes sense to do 3 from a cost perspective since some locations in 3 are in 2 (and vice versa) so they can reuse some assets/things but I’d really love for a proper 1 remake in the vein of 2.
If they could combine 1 and 3 or do some kind of interweaving stories thing like last of us part 2, that would be insanely cool and fresh.

Is it bad if I like the art direction better than Returnal’s? I played Returnal for a bit when it was free on PS plus but this is more colorful and “fun”.
I may check it out if it ends up rating well. It just goes to prove to myself, it’s not always about better graphics.

Incredible… I just don’t know how it’s possible. I cringe at the mere thought of having to start one game over because I took a hit, nevermind multiple games.

Ugh, it seems I’m not alone in my wishes for another single-player Rainbow Six.
I played the crap out of every Rainbow Six, especially 3 (the Alcatraz level was awesome) and both Vegas games.
Really wish they’d re-release Vegas for consoles. I don’t play computer games, despite them both being on Steam. Ubisoft, please release a dual pack port for modern consoles for us folks who don’t do this online competitive gameplay! I want to hunt terrorists and unlock stuff!

Let’s goooooooo!!!!
I can’t wait… I want to know more but I don’t want there to be spoiler-y stuff. Kojima is usually pretty good about not giving away key plot points and keeping pretty much all the mystery intact.
I need another set of hands and eyes so I can keep playing the first one but also make a dent in my backlog. The first one for me is infinitely playable.

I’ve always wanted to do it but never have: I’m going to take off a day or two of work when this releases. I cannot wait to play this! I was and still generally am obsessed with the first one. Can’t wait to see what happens next in the story and what technology/cool tools and gadgets will be available for use.

My body is parcels are ready!

This is one of my three most anticipated shows at the moment. Severance is finally out so that leaves 2:
-The Last of Us: Part 2, and;
-Yellowjackets Season 3.

Can👏not👏wait👏

Had fun with the first one but have no interest in going back for that or the others again. Was kind of a dark time in my life and I never cared for the roided-out huge upper body macho “dudes”.

Yea, gonna pass. Let’s meet back here when Halo releases, that’s what I’m really looking forward to!

Day one, full price.
I’ll sell plasma if I have to.

@Hyena_socks that’s so good to know it actually is good. It reviewed well but I love a personal recommendation over a mass review any day. It looks so cool and stylish. What sold me was the Shining Force 2 style battles.

@Llamageddon Was not aware of this one but I’ll check it out, thanks!

Looks really cool but the only mouse/rat game I have in my radar at the moment is Small Saga. I hope that comes to consoles so badly…!

I thoroughly enjoyed Outlaws, far more than Survivor. To each their own I guess…

I would, and I will, buy a Master Chief collection on PS5. Day one.
I haven’t played any beyond 2 but I played the crap out of 1 and 2 on Xbox back in the day.
I’d even sign up for PS Online again to play the online portions again.
I am not an online gamer but I will be one (again) if it’s for Halo.

I always read that people try games on GP and then buy them on PS5.

I’ll offer something different:
Kojima is creative, pushes boundaries, has insane attention to detail, and is genuinely one of the only talented visions in the game industry these days. I can play tons of other games that I shoot people and they fall and I loot bodies, etc. I appreciate his offering of something different in this shooter/Ubisoft-open-world/metroidvania/turn-based/dialogue box filled landscape.
This is currently my most hyped game at this point in time. Alongside that on the same list is Dragonyhm, Petal Runner, The Transylvania Adventure Of Simon Quest, Twilight Bastion… a few others.

The first game was great as it unfolded and we learned the story and plot and there were a lot of points where I was like “WTF JUST HAPPENED.” Genuinely confused sometimes but always realizing what was going on. Very interesting, on-brand Kojima stuff.
I can’t say I have that excited reaction for many other games.

This game is amazing and deserves so much more credit!!
It is filled with charm and humo(u)r. It’s fun to play with people watching because it feels like you’re watching/playing a cartoon.

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk @helbertpina well alright then! I’ll give it a watch if there’s at least some gameplay shown. Thanks

Haven’t watched the trailer because “cinematic game trailers” are pointless, more or less, to me. No gameplay, no watch.

However, from what I know about ND, I know it’s going to be a blast, overflowing with charm and quality, so I’m all in.

Best of luck to Tati! Cannot wait to experience this new story from one of the best devs out there.

It looks like PS’ version of Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom. Hard to not see the similarities. Pretty cool!

I’ll keep an open mind because this isn’t an overused setting and so it feels fresh. I’m also a huge Turok and Turok 2 fan so that’s another cool point. Hopefully I can play solo.

I wish they hadn’t divulged that there are no jump scares or monsters. I think that would be more than half the fun being scared something might happen.
Still, I’m going to be checking this out.

I too feel it’s mostly a negative that you can’t earn more lives or continues by getting a good score; rewarding your good gameplay.
It’s not a deal breaker but I think I’ve played more games that go that route than this one.

Can’t wait to play it on switch!

I’d pay 4.99 one-time to keep it.

I just got the game, December 2024, and it’s phenomenal. I’m enjoying it so much! Easily my favorite Star Wars game since shadows of the empire.
The sound design is great and I actually feel like I’m playing in the Star Wars universe. I heard the game was rough when it released but I’ve yet to encounter any weird moments that took me out of the experience, I suppose after many updates. It’s feeling like my big blockbuster holiday game of 2024 ✌️

@GamingFan4Lyf how can I like this post more than once? Hookshot needs to give us a ‘like’ feature like Death Stranding where we can spam the like button as fast as possible for about 10 seconds.
:: death stranding like sound :: 👍

You are spot on.

@The_Wailing_Doom biggest feature for me is the REAL TIMELINE!
I too got rid of Twitter once Elon (which I pronounce “Ellen” 😁) took over.

Bluesky has been great to me! There were few deals accounts I was following on Twitter that I no longer had an eye on after leaving the platform. Luckily most have accounts on Bluesky so I’m back in action again.

It’s between 1 and 2 but I’m certain I’ll be sticking with 1. It sucks it’s limited time!!

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.
