I’ve been looking forward to this and I’m certainly considering getting one but………. that price!!! Plus, there’s not too many games out for it yet that make me REALLY want one. Maybe by the end of this Summer or come the holidays I can justify it and (more importantly) have the cash for one saved up.

You had me at ‘a captivatingly crap game’. LOLOLOLOL 😅😂🤣

With far too much that’s out or soon to come out that I’m interested in I don’t see myself ever playing this until I have NOTHING else to play, but this sounds like exactly the type of bargain bin title I’d go for on a $20 or under sale.

As a dedicated trophy hunter I have to say this list looks fun w/ the one exception of a trophy for completing the game on hardcore mode. I get a bit tired of games doing this, depending on the criteria for ‘hardcore’. If it’s just a standard play through but on a harder setting that’s one thing, but if it’s a permadeath mode, very limited saves or something like Wolfenstein 2’s ‘Mein Leiben’ trophy, it’s one of the most un-fun types of trophies IMHO. Something like the aforementioned ’Mein Leiben’ will put me off a game altogether and cause me to skip it. Just too much else out there to play. Here’s to hoping it’s nothing too crazy.

@playstation1995 Absolutely LOVE Vanquish and I agree with you about the gameplay! One of the most fun and underrated games of the PS3 era. Also the toughest platinum I ever got. Harder than any game on my profile by a country mile simply because of that one trophy - ‘Tactical Challenger’. BRRRRUUUUUTAL!!!!

Currently on my ‘Impossible’ run in Dead Space remake. Thoroughly enjoying it!!

I read all the books, saw all the movies and definitely like Harry Potter, but I just have ZERO interest in this game for some reason.

@ZoSo My thoughts exactly. It makes me think of the Futurama meme “Can’t tell if….” as in is it gonna be good or not?

Gotta say, I just love all the armchair politicians in this thread. Like ANY of us know what's REALLY going on between Russia and Ukraine. We know exactly and only what our respective governments and their propaganda arms (IE the media) feed us. Sure, war is bad and nothing I condone, but the truth of what's really going on over there isn't known by the average person. We all just 'see what we want to see'. Don't let something as crappy as politics ruin your entertainment experience. If all of us only listened to musicians we agreed with, and watched film and TV done by people we agree with, etc. etc., we'd have almost no content to enjoy. Just enjoy what you want and let the rest of it all sort itself out.

Wow, if true, that's kind of sad. I mean, I enjoy COD as much as the next person and have played the current iteration to the point of boredom with it, having maxed out my level and all guns. But considering the wealth of quality titles on Playstation (God Of War as just ONE example), you'd think their exclusives would be the primary buying driver. Oh well, no accounting for taste I guess.....

I’ve really been looking forward to this and it does look very stylistic and potentially very good. I just hope it lives up to expectations!

@Grimwood Not sure you're thinking that though correctly. Game prices ALWAYS decrease over time. As just one example, TLOU pt. 2 was $59.99 MSRP when it released and now is $39.99 MSRP. Publishers don't expect games to hold their initial MSRP over time. Ever. Some may have a stronger shelf-life to their initial MSRP (COD titles are a good example), but ALL will come down in price the longer they are out. Another example? Bloodborne. Initial MSRP was $59.99, now it's $19.99. Jus' sayin'....... Besides, I was referring to a sale price so I'm not entirely sure where your comment came from?

Nothing on my wishlist is on sale, though, admittedly, the vast majority of it is games that have yet to release. Still, I'm hoping The Last Of Us part 2 goes back on sale for $9.99. I didn't pull the trigger on it when I saw it at that price a sale or two ago and I knew I should have. :-/

I absolutely loved Steelrising, enjoyed their Terminator game and I'm (strangely) looking forward to Robocop, so I'm curious to see what they'll announce. I have to admit, the black and white picture of the weird skeleton with the combat hat has me hoping for a remake of RESISTANCE: Fall Of Man, though I doubt that's what that is. Anyone know what that game is in the picture above??

I've had this on my radar for some time now. Very much looking forward to it! Hopefully it turns out to be a good game. Has some strong Returnal vibes to it. Not sure if I'll grab it right away but I'll definitely be playing it at some point.

@JP80 What does this issue have to do with physical or digital? I didn’t see any mention of that in the article….???

After the way Motive handled my favorite game of all time, I can't wait to see what they do with my favorite superhero of all time!

I don’t ever play sports games and I’m by no means a ‘social justice warrior’ but this is a really cool idea and one that seems so obvious and overdue, I can’t believe they didn’t think to do this sooner. Great idea and I hope the game sells well.

OH BOY......... this is a big red flag, IMHO. "By trying to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one".

Gotta say, I just did my first play through of this game entirely at night, in the basement, with all the lights off and with headphones on. What an incredible experience!! It really amped up the creep-out factor. And what an absolutely AMAZING remake of one of my all time favorite games (and game series). HIGHLY recommended!

Not really interested in any of these games but with so many games I’m looking forward to coming out, and soon, I don’t really mind either.

I’m thoroughly enjoying my first play through of the Dead Space remake. I’m only playing it at night, in the basement with all the lights off and on headphones. Absolutely phenomenal remake of one of my favorite games and game series of all time. Couldn’t be happier with what Motive has done with it!

I’m playing through this right now and I don’t get the criticisms of the visuals. The game is absolutely stunning looking.

@Splat Agreed. There was some decent Dual Sense support in the game for sure, but I felt like they missed some real solid opportunities there.

DEAD SPACE. (severed) hands down! And I know it's WAAAAY early, but it may even end up being my GOTY depending on how good Atomic Heart, Remnant 2 and **possibly** one or two others I have my eye on end up being.

I platinumed this on PS4 and definitely enjoyed it but didn't find it near as funny as SW2 - that one I laughed out loud at a good number of times. I suppose I might revisit it if the PS4 trophy stack gets some add'l trophies but I didn't like it enough to replay it all over again on the 5. Still a pretty good game though and definitely a great looking game.

As basically everyone else has said, very well deserved by a masterpiece of a game. SOLID.

I've had this on my 'radar' for quite some time and I'm very excited for it, but cautiously so. I won't pre-order it no matter how good it looks as I've been burned by that far too many times, but I defnitely have some $$ waiting in the wings to be spent on this should it review well; especially by the players - not necessarily by the critics.

OUCH - 45% (currently) have it ranked at 5 or lower and only 15% gave it an 8 or a 9 with ZERO 10’s to boot. Glad I made the choice to stay clear of this one. Seems very much like a niche title.

@GodofCapcom Not sure I follow your comment? I never said or implied anyone would be 'lost' with the amount of time they spent on Bill and Frank. I just think it was unnecessary to the overall narrative and if I'm being honest, was gratutious. But to each their own. It's just entertainment.

@Ravix Well, I, like you, am glad (likely for the first time in, ........well......, EVER!) that a video game adaptation is not only being handled well, but being given the incredible quality of treatment like this show is. Especially since the core material is beloved by the fan base. So true enough, whether you like what they did with ep. 3 (like many aparently do) or whether you found it cumbersome, boring and unnecessary (like I did), there's NO DENYING this show is of very high quality and I'm certinly glad to see it!

@Ravix I certainlly respect your opinion, but plot is the central device to which a story is told. Without it you have nothing but an incoherent mess of ideas struggling for some sort of cohesion. Even Bill & Frank's mini-story had it's own 'plot' or 'narrative'. To deny that is just plain foolishness. So, again, I felt their story added little to nothing to the overall narrative of Joel and Ellie's story, which is, after all, what the entire show is about.

I’m honestly not getting the crazy amount of gushing over this most recent episode. It was well produced and certainly well acted, but the massive focus on Bill and Frank did nothing to move the plot forward or even add to it. In fact, if you removed their ‘love story’ from the show entirely it wouldn’t have made a single bit of difference to the over-arching narrative of the show itself and thus came off as a massive waste of time, money and resources. And I’ll also say that at no point was I ever on the verge of tears and I DO get emotional at well done tragedy in film. I just couldn’t get past the feeling that the vast majority of what I was watching was totally unnecessary and kept waiting for the story to get back on track.

A remake of 2 and 3 wouldn’t be a bad thing per se, but I’m a little worn out with all the remakes and remasters. How about a straight up, all new Dead Space 4?

I don't see how this could be surprising to anyone.

Totally confident in Waller-Bridge’s writing ability. She could be exactly what Tomb Raider needs in that regard.

Sadly, I’m not playing Dead Space because I’m waiting for it to show up in the mail (Amazon is showing a Tuesday delivery) so I’m going to keep wasting time with Modern Warfare 2’s MP even though I’ve maxed out my level, maxed out all the AR’s, LMG’s and most of the SMG’s and unlocked every camo I have any interest in. Tuesday can’t come quick enough…….

HARDDDDD pass on this. Way too much on backlog and too many good games coming out soon I’m far more interested in. And what they described regarding the NPC’s and story is a major turn-off to me with a game. “Ain’t nobody got time for that”

I actually pre-ordered this back in October from Amazon, but strangely, they didn't give me an option for standard delivery so it won't be here until Tuesday next week. Normally they deliver the day a game is released, but not this time...... Oh well - it's more than worth the wait!

@Toypop Just sayin' , but you're missing out by skipping this one. GREAT game, especially if you've never played the OG!! Possibly the best in it's genre ever. And Gotham Knights was quite fun too. I played through that on PS5 to 100% completion on the trophy stack and never got bored of it. Callisto Protocol is a particular taste though for sure.

Also, and I'm asking in genuine curiosity, what is it with frame rates that puts people off SOOOO much that they'll skip a game outright and miss out on a possibly very enjoyable experience? And I'm saying this as someone who, again, played Gotham Knights a LOT and only ever noticed very, very few and only slight frame rate dips, which was, IMHO, nothing that detracted from the gameplay or overall enjoyment of the game in any significant or meaningful way. Again, curious to hear your perspective.

Dead Space on Friday! Oh yeah!!

What? This is about Forspoken? Oh sorry……

Dead Space on Friday! Oh yeah!!

Impossible Mode is permadeath:

“Fans of the maximum difficulty will be able to use the Impossible Mode, in which after the death of the hero the game will start over.”

Ready for this! Can’t wait to play it. The traversal in the first game was so ridiculously fun I RARELY ever used the fast travel which, in and of itself, is rare for me to do.

I was barely interested in this to begin with, especially with so many games coming out this year I'm very interested in, plus a few I still haven't gotten to yet, so this is almost a definite pass for me at this point.

I’m alternating between Modern Warfare 2 MP and a New Game+ run in Callisto Protocol since they added a trophy to the stack.

Awesome! Looks very close to the original PS3 list and even includes the Peng trophy while omitting the x2 trophies of 'Don't Get Cocky Kid' & 'Slugger', both of which required 50% shield strength remaining when completing a task. Just hope the one for completeing the game on Impossible mode isn't akin to DS2's hardcore mode or worse, Wolfenstein 2's Mein Leiben trophy. THAT WOULD SUUUUUCK!!!

Not sure where all the hate for this game is coming from. I get that it’s not for everyone but I can certainly say that I have 100% completion on the trophy stack and at no point was I ever bored, over it or tired of the game. It’s by NO means a bad game.

If the game turns out to be good and more importantly FUN, I’m all over this. No one’s forcing me (or anyone else) to buy the battle pass or anything else that’s cosmetic so it really doesn’t matter.

I’m very much looking forward to this but I refuse to pre-order it. Tired of even occasionally getting burned by doing that. I’m looking at you Callisto Protocol and Battlefield games!

Looks great but what about CALL OF DUTY: Modern Black Ops Advanced Vanguard World At Warfare 13??? 😉😂

Don’t really have anything to play right now except Modern Warfare II MP. Just finished GOD OF WAR: Ragnarok (amaaaaaaazing!!!!) and I’m waiting for Dead Space to show up, so I’m in between games right now.
