Even with the playtime of non-Fortnite battle royale games going down, I’m not that optimistic that gaming companies will stop trying to make more live service games in the hope of striking gold with the next Fortnite or GTA Online.

Probably won’t get it on Day 1, however will likely buy it by the end of the year. Looking forward most to DK Bananza and Metroid Prime 4. The ports of games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring are enticing too. Never played them on PS4/5 so this would be a good opportunity to finally get around to them.

An all-time classic game. Would buy an HD-2D version of this in a heartbeat. But that makes too much sense so 0% chance SE makes it a reality.

Visions of Mana (PS5) - Started Chapter 7 and completing the many side quests that popped up at the start of this chapter. Having fun too trying out the different classes and abilities now that the game has really opened up.

Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection (Switch) - Started playing X-Men vs. Street Fighter and instantly brought back memories of playing this one at the arcade many moons ago.

I had my doubts about the Portal too, but bought one last fall & glad I did. Unable to play PS5 at night as where the TV it’s connected to is set up in an area of the house that would light up everything and wake everyone. Not an issue anymore. No issues with lag. Went with the recommended setup of connecting the PS5 directly to the modem/router. I do wish it had Bluetooth to be able to use AirPods. Overall though it’s been a great purchase and is used often.

Bloodborne 4K 60 FPS will happen around the same time Nintendo releases Mother 3 in the US with an English translation

It sucked not being able to use the Portal on Friday night. Just played Switch instead. I mostly play single player games so wasn’t an issue on Saturday when I had time to play PS5

@The_Pixel_King It makes too much sense so of course it won’t happen

It takes several months for me to get through a big RPG (100+ hours). Started playing Baldur’s Gate 3 (PS5) and The Witcher 3 (Switch) last summer & haven’t finished either. About 3/4 through each but started getting burned out around the 100 hour mark. Definitely enjoyed both but have played many other games that I’ve been able to get through quicker since then. I’m sure I’ll finish them at some point this year though.

At this point, they just need to rip the bandaid off and announce a slew of games coming to PS5 and Switch 2. Shareholders would be giddy to see all the revenue that’s about to come pouring in.

Cat Quest 3 on the PS5 and Sonic Origins Plus on the Switch

Sonic X Shadow Generations on the Switch. Tekken 8 on the PS5.

Sony announces a sequel to PS All Stars Battle Royale

Good luck there. You’d have better odds teaching a cat how to juggle.

Guess I’ll go ahead and buy Tekken 8 now

@Scarface82G1 We’ll get that right after the Bloodborne 4K 60FPS update

“Mwahahahaha you’ll never catch the PS2 Nintendo!!”

Sounds like this will be a PS6 game

Pass for me. My PS5 is still doing well after 3 years. Can put that money towards a Switch 2.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm - Starting the second episode of the game. Looking to finish all 4 games this summer.

Baldur’s Gate 3 - A few hours into Act 2. Hoping to get to Moonrise Towers this weekend.

The Witcher 3 - 15 hours into this game & have been enjoying just exploring around Velen. Will eventually get back to Main Quests.

What did I just watch?

@IOI Metroid Prime 4 alone made that Direct a 10/10. I thought the game was at least a few years away. Caught me completely off guard when it was shown at the end.

Tears of the Kingdom - Side Quest/Adventure cleanup. Probably find some Lightroots and load up on Zonaite in the Depths.

Baldur’s Gate 3 - Started playing last weekend and still getting used to the mechanics. Had to take it down to Explorer difficulty since the battles were pretty rough to start. Really enjoying just exploring around since there’s so much to see/do in this game.

Sony playing 4D chess vs. themselves

Was definitely a surprise/shock to see that this was coming out on the Switch. Makes a lot of sense though. Lego games are vey popular and plenty of people play them on Switch. Smart business move by Sony that’ll probably make them a good amount of revenue.

Perhaps we’ll see Aloy in the next Smash Bros. game?

Final Fantasy XVI - Got the platinum trophy yesterday. Starting the Echoes of the Fallen DLC this weekend.

Cat Quest - Downloaded this recently on PS Plus. Have only played for about an hour. Pretty fun game so far.

Tears of the Kingdom - About 25 shrines left to find mostly in the Sky. Seeing what random Side Quets/Adventures I may stumble upon in Hyrule too.

@trev666 Could even release them on the Switch too. Between the PC, NS, PS5, and XSX it would be a pretty good flow of revenue for Bethesda while working on Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5.

Maybe just maybe this rise in Fallout’s popularity from the show will get Bethesda to release remasters of 3 and New Vegas for the current lineup of systems.

Welp looks like I’ll have plenty of time to clear out a good chunk of my PS5 backlog. Still a while away, but hopefully when it comes out the game isn’t loaded with bugs for a smooth launch.

Cat Quest 1 & 2 have my attention. Look like a couple of quick fun games to play.

FFXVI - Continuing my 2nd play through in FF Mode. About halfway through it.

Blast Corps - Recently purchased an N64 controller for the Switch. Time to finish what I rage quit back in ‘97.

Tears of the Kingdom - Shrine and Lightroot hunting around Hyrule.

@NoCode23 Would we have Metroid Prime 4 by then though or still waiting?

@Ludacritz Would probably sell well with the popularity of the show. Will be a while before Fallout 5 sees the light of day. Could even put them on Switch. Seems like a no brainer, but who knows if common sense will prevail at Bethesda.

Absolutely loved the show. Burned through it in a few days. Very much looking forward to Season 2.

@Victor_Meldrew Will probably see Metroid Prime 4 before the next Fallout game.

Ubisoft doing all it can to overtake EA as the most despised video game publisher.

Tears of the Kingdom - Finishing up the final temple then some shrine hunting.

Final Fantasy XVI - On the homestretch of the main story. Looking to get the last side quests and some trophies connected to them knocked out this weekend.

Have had a PS5 for 2 years now & pretty happy with it. Doubt I’ll get a Pro unless my PS5 breaks. Other factor for me not wanting one is that the Switch successor will be out soon. Would rather spend for that instead of a PS5 Pro especially if my PS5 is still working.

And I was just starting to make a dent in my backlog…

Final Fantasy XVI - Started playing a few days ago. Made it past the prologue section. Really enjoying the battle system & seeing the story play out now.

Tears of the Kingdom - Trying to stick with the story, but easily distracted when a side quest or shrine comes up. Hopefully can get the second temple completed this weekend.

Blast Corps - First game I ever rage quit. Giving it another go 27 years later now that it’s on NSO.

@IntrepidWombat The rewind ability has been a lifesaver to get through some parts.

Syphon Filter - Finally used to the controls on this one. About halfway through. Hoping to finish it up this weekend. Never played it on PS1. Pretty fun game.

Tears of the Kingdom - Continuing to explore around Hyrule completing shrines and side quests. Maybe finish one of the main quests too.

I’d be interested in playing the Gears of War and Forza games.

@Torque That was the trophy that netted me the Platinum. Had to step away a few times so my Dual Sense didn’t end up getting tossed out of a window.

Probably won’t get this until later in the year, but very much been looking forward to it.

Diving back into Hyrule with Tears of the Kingdom and hopefully getting the Platinum for Klonoa 1 & 2.

Was planning on getting through a game or two in my backlog before playing this, but now seriously rethinking that.

I need to create a mobile free to play game loaded with in-game purchases. Will be able to buy a few islands to live on within a month.

Already have FF7 Rebirth preordered. Will likely get Tekken 8 at some point in 2024 once my backlog is cleared out more.
