It’s the same issue I have with all the HD-2D games and pixel remasters from square. The environments look good enough, but they overuse lighting effects and the non-updated sprites look so out of place compared to the polished up environments.

This has to be the most annoying thing in gaming for a while for me. A company that I don’t like at all gets bought for billions, multi platform games are about to become exclusive, the rightfully earned Activision controversy gets swept under the rug and is the only reason this deal was able to happen, Sony keeps on gassing up Call of Duty like it’s the savior of the industry, and fanboys are now calling for more publishers to be bought.

Hate it here

This is a Mickey Mouse name 💀
(Still hyped)

I know a lot of eyebrows are being raised at the last gen versions, but tbh Jrpgs have always been kind of slow to get off cross gen. Persona 5 released on PS3 in 2017 from this same publisher.

@Would_you_kindly it’s confirmed that PlayStation Stars also involves earning PSN credit.

The reaction to this on Social Media is wild

This is like if everyone hated the Smash Bros trophies by just assuming they were something they weren’t

As a 20 minute showcase with it already setting expectations on Japanese games, that was pretty good. Tekken 8, God of War, the Yakuza Samurai series coming to the west, Rise of the Ronin, and Stellar Blade. Definitely better than the Farm Direct today, everything felt pretty snappy and clean besides some PlayStation Stars stuff, even if there wasn’t a huge showstopper.

Wild how the best thing from that showcase was a 1 minute trailer for a game we all knew existed with no gameplay or even written gameplay details

Disney is pathetic

I know some good can come of this, but I really hate how Ubisoft is trying to live service everything, leading to the point where their singleplayer games are caught up in the crazed crossfire. Making multimillionaire aren’t enough for them, apparently.

@Amin1998 compared to most developers, Naughty Dog has relatively fast turn around I feel. If you don’t count the remasters but do count the remake, then between 2011 and now they’ve released 6 games, 9 if you count DLC and remasters.

@tameshiyaku it’s not among us yet

“remake-cum-remaster”
heh

I know silent hill is cool and all but I cannot imagine a worse combination than Modern Konami + Bloober Team

Say what you want about how you value the game, but it’s been so refreshing that most of the gameplay trailers for this are so intertwined with developer commentary. I’ll always appreciate even little things that get us closer to the development perspective.

@Milt are we comparing the $60 game in one of the most influential gaming franchises ever with AAA type design to angry birds reloaded

Find you a girl that loves you as much as PushSquare loves the phrase Japanese giant

Let it be known that Vampire Survivors, an indie game that had no marketing at all that launched only a month later, has double more steam players than Battlefield 2024. This game was such a colossal failure of the Triple AAA gaming landscape, to the point where I genuinely supported policy that would’ve made releases like these way more regulated in terms of polish. EA’s a failure

Shoutouts to Warner Bros for how they shut down multiple pitches for rereleases and remasters of the original arcade Mortal Kombat titles, yet when it’s actually appropriate for them to release it they rerelease the game that’s been rereleased 3 times now and a 4/10 movie.

Bro this is weird. I’m not one of those who’s ultra mad at Sony for not making Days Gone 2, but why would they expand this IP into film if they don’t have any more plans with it? Wild

I can’t overstate how excited I am for this. Kena was easily my 2nd favorite game of 2021 and my favorite singleplayer game of that year. Beyond that, this looks like one of the most hefty free post launch updates I’ve seen in a while. New Game +, Kena Cosmetics, new skills, a new equipment system that doesn’t seem overbearing like certain games yet still seems like it could make a difference, and brand new trials. This is like, something Nintendo would sell for a $60 port.

If you haven’t already please try this out. I can’t be more thankful that it’s coming to Steam so PC players adverse to the EGS will now have it on their radar. Hopefully it’ll come to PS+ in the future.

Bayonetta being the example of perfect game feel and game control is wild to me

I really hope this is in Spider-Man 2, and I actually don’t think it’s impossible. It would be a major point of distinction between 1 and 2, the trailer heavily emphasizes the multiple Spider-Men, and it’s exclusively on PS5 so any hardware limitations could be potentially sidestepped.

@nomither6 50/50s are situations where you essentially need to guess between two evenly possible situations. For instance, let’s say a character does a low kick and can either cancel it into a follow up attack or a follow up command grab. You either could block the follow up or attack/jump the command grab, but you have to guess.

Also yeah imo MK looks garbage. The visual clarity is such a mess, and yeah compared to even “realistic” looking games like Tekken 7 and Street Fighter 6 are way more stylized. Not to mention the really bad animations.

This is giving me so much hope for this project. It was already a good sign when they got an actually good Director compared to Uncharted, but the fact that he wants to make a samurai movie and not simply an action movie is so exciting.

This is the work of Kratos or something it’s wild how almost everything is getting delayed except GoW seemingly this year

@DrClayman I honestly don’t believe that window like people are saying. Mainly because Resident Evil 4 comes out in that same time period. I don’t think Capcom wants to cannibalize sales. I’m personally thinking either May or June, sometime before Evo definitely.

It’s likely gonna be a new character + a veteran, like what happened at EVO. I would really like it if we got a launch window soon tho.

@ROBLIVION this post is even worse than the script

This is gonna be an exhausting time closing this deal. It’s just gonna be Sony weirdly hyping up Actiblizz games while Microsoft downplays it. With regards to this accusation, idk it seems possible but it feels weird to throw this out there without any examples, either from MSoft themselves or even stuff like the Capcom and Bandai internal leaks (to my knowledge). Again, wouldn’t be surprised if they did it, it just feels weird to point this out when both developers have paid for exclusivity deals and Xbox has done some uniquely weird stuff themselves like preventing Atlus from announcing the Persona ports to PlayStation consoles at the same time.

Iron Galaxy went from working on one of the best fighters of the 2010s and one of the best Xbox one games to making Fortnite attempt 84

What happened

@Deljo god I just want to go one day without people bringing up the last of us remake is that too much to ask

This is like peak over ambitious AAA gaming
-Revealed at the Game Awards
-Free to play shooter
-Live Service
-Went dark immediately after it’s reveal
-Delayed a year
Comical at this point

Atlus, your days are over. A new king of nothing teasers has arrived.

I’m waiting for Crossplay before I start taking this game seriously again, but NASB is so fun. It’s the platform fighter kusoge and it couldn’t be more wild. Easily more fun and enjoyable than Multiversus

Ain’t no way y’all highlighted Two Point Campus over Valkyrie Elysium or Soul Hackers 2

It’s good that theyre have a go to place for new reveals and content for anyone who just wants the news. I’m assuming reveals are still happening after grand finals for each respective game though, right?

@Uncharted2007 bro street fighter 6 is seeming like the biggest shakeup the series has ever gotten in terms of aesthetic, single player offering, and the raw gameplay with its heavy resource emphasis

I was always decently skeptical of this game. This studio hasn’t done much beyond ports of PS2/360 era games, like the original KOTOR on Switch. A seemingly unknown studio promising AAA level scope without proving themselves first is always cause for concern.

Anyone can argue that Insomniac wouldn’t be a good fit for a specific superhero game, and that’s fine there’s countless of other devs like Rocksteady and Eidos who have proven themselves good to handle the formula, and it’s good if one developer doesn’t have a monopoly on Superhero or Marvel games.

But for gods sake why EA

We need her at The Game Awards

Those audio description captions or whatever they’re called that they showed off in the gameplay video was extremely impressive. One of the best parts about the intermingling of Sony studios is that since Last of Us 2, almost all of their games have had top notch accessibility. This is going above and beyond even what god of war ragnarok showed. Really impressed.

what the actual

While the rest of the comments talk about Persona 5 Royal, lemme just say that this looks nothing like Vertigo and idk why it even has the Hitchcock name attached

I genuinely don’t know why they did this.

I’m not complaining at all this is a really cool move.

But who at Suckerpunch just woke up this morning and said “yeah this should be free”

Where is the “allergic to cats” poll option

This is injustice

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the first game only have 3 realms with extended gameplay, while the other just had smaller additional things like that gauntlet side mode or the final section? If all 9 realms have traditional gameplay sequences, then this game is going to be massive.

Guilty Gear went from not being at the last in person EVO to being the headliner for almost every single FGC event. I know some GG players don’t like the new direction Strive took it, but I feel like everyone should be proud of where it is now. Street Fighter 6 will undoubtedly explode the scene even more, but that’s the fighting game while this has been a side anime fighter. Congrats to ArcSys, and I can’t wait to see where the FGC goes from here.

As someone who actually attends FG tournaments, this seems pretty useless. Mainly because almost everything uses Start.gg for fighting games at least, which Microsoft owns. I get wanting a competitor, but it’s not a space worth competing in. All it will do is make the occasional Sony tournament more cumbersome to join because of the irregular platform. Bad move from the perspective of someone who actual uses these platforms.

@djlard GaaS are not dying. All the biggest and most popular games in the world are GaaS. The issue is how fiercely competitive and crowded the market is. That’s where publishers struggle, they think they just make any game—no matter the quality—a live service and just expect Fortnite money. This is where Sony is trying to get a foothold with the acquisition. They now have under their umbrella a ton of people who know how a live service works. This acquisition isn’t the best for PlayStation fans directly, but is smart.

Sony seems more interested than the talent this acquisition brings than just what would happen with a normal acquisition where they absorb a studio completely. They’re 100% using that extra 1 billion talent retention payment to have them help with upcoming live service games. And from what I’ve heard that’s not entirely bad, I’ve heard a lot of good things about modern Destiny 2 besides the extremely evident and egregious things like sunsetting.

I’m not as doomy as everyone else is about this, additional funding for additional talent probably won’t subtract that much from their current single player developments. The only interesting thing now is that the ink is dried, another acquisition is likely. I don’t want another one anytime soon because I just hate that practice, but I expect it.
