The only thing that got me truly excited was the Astro Bot game, so I may be one of those fans that PlayStation doesn't cater as much towards anymore. That being said it wasn't a horrible event, there just wasn't a lot there that made me say wow.
Depending on the skins on offer I may check this season out. Always liked the fallout games back in the day and it would be cool to see what areas they add to the game.
I have currently been playing through Pacific Drive myself. It is such a great game once you get to grips with it as there is a lot to learn and micromanage but things do get easier as you get upgrades.
I have a feeling it is going to be a bit of a hidden gem since I haven't seen anyone talking about it but it is very good, and unique. Which you can't say about many games these days.
I think they risk burning people out of the Persona series myself, sometimes less is more and gives people something to look forward to and be surprised when it is announced rather always expecting there to be a Persona game each year.
A shame as it is one of my favorite series and the one that got me into PlayStation back in the day.
With all of these big companies focusing on making big games that can deliver the most profit I don't think Sly really fits into that idea because as much as I would like it I don't think a new game would sell enough to make Sony happy.
At this point I would settle for an HD collection port to the PS5 that includes Sly 4 but even that is a pipe dream right now.
That does seem a tad high, very few games require that and I wouldn't have imagined that Returnal was a particularly taxing game even with how pretty it looks at times.
I have enjoyed the previous Amnesia games and honestly a semi open world approach seems pretty cool to me, the question is will it manage level of the scares of the previous game.
I wish they would just release the original trilogy on PS5 as a remade collection, I have been wanting to play those games again and there are few legitimate means to do so on the Playstation front.
I was playing Deathloop but it was consistently crashing causing me to lose progress so instead I have moved on to Death Stranding until it is fixed.
Really enjoying delivering packages on my trike, it is almost the kind of game I always wanted and while it may not click for everyone, it certainly does for me.
Dang, hopefully there isn't a drop in quality of Rocksteady's games because of this, sometimes when there is new leadership that happens, with any luck the people replacing them have learned enough from the co-founders to continue to make quality games.
I am looking forward to seeing what the two exiting do next.
Personally yes I do, I just want there to be an option for either a performance mode or fidelity mode like on the GTA Definitive Edition collection, options are always nice to have so you cover all bases.
If they were to add ray tracing it would almost certainly be a 30 FPS mode for a game of this scope, I like my souls games to have a smooth frame rate to help with reacting to enemies but having the option wouldn't be a bad idea.
That is fairly disappointing, one of my favorite things about this generation is that most games run at a solid 60 fps, I am not a graphics snob but knowing this game doesn't makes me a little less likely to want to play it and I say that as someone who plays a lot of games on Switch.
They are a large part of why I got into PlayStation gaming, I will always remember playing Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus for the first time, thanks Sucker Punch!
Not a surprise really after the reaction to the game, and honestly I would rather they move on fully to their next project so it gets as much development time and resources as it can.
Still have yet to play Cyberpunk but I plan to pick it up soon on PS5 now that it has gotten a ton of updates.
I will never understand why some people act like heroes because they work super long hours at their job, life is so short, why should we be required to work hours like that just to feel like we are doing a good job?
Work/life balance is super important and most companies just don't care/get it. If you want to work overtime great, but don't put others down because they value their time outside of work.
I personally have contributed to that quite a bit myself, I usually only buy physicals of games I plan to play multiple times, if it is a one time playthrough type of game I am ok with getting it digitally or just playing it through PS Plus Extra.
I got extremely lucky last November when I was invited for the PlayStation queue on the official site and somehow was checked out in just minutes of it going live.
If it wasn't for that I don't know if I would have a PS5 even at this point. Glad to hear the situation is improving though.
Even if it is completely rebuilt I still am not interested, still am very much in the camp that this game didn't need a remake and I have played it recently enough that I probably won't be playing it again for years, if that.
If people are excited to play it again that is great though.
@Keyblade-Dan Yeah I bought my brother that plush for his birthday and now I really wish I would have gotten one for myself because yeah they are expensive now.
I would love a Sly Cooper plushie, a year ago I was collecting all sorts of collectibles from PlayStation and Nintendo but have stopped because I ran out of room, but for a Sly Cooper plushie I would make an exception.
I have it downloading right now, I don't know if I will play it tonight as I have been enjoying Lawn Mowing Simulator better than I thought I would but it is definitely getting played in the near future.
I have been playing through some games on the Extras tier of PlayStation Plus, enjoying the service quite a bit and even just now I have gotten more than my money's worth out of it.

Hopefully the game itself is solid though.
