So this year we're getting Atlas Fallen, from the developers of Lords of the Fallen, not to be confused with Lords of the Fallen, previously The Lords of the Fallen, that is the actual sequel to Lords of the Fallen, from a different developer, also coming out this year?

I'm confused, do all of these have Gerard Butler in them?

@Rob_230 Yeah, it's bonkers. Sony bought Nixxes that specializes in PC ports (and pretty damn good at it) and then decided to hand this port to Naughty Dog that have literally only been making console games in the past 30 years, and for most of that time for a single platform.

I absolutely love Code Veronica and it's hands down my choice from that list. It's the true sequel to RE2, the story is important for the greater series (far more than 3 and 4 I'd argue), and it's such a great setting, would look amazing with modern visuals.

I'd also like to see a few more fighting collections from Capcom, one with all the versus series from Children of the Atom up to MVC2, and one with their 3D fighters (SF EX, Rival Schools, Power Stone etc).

@get2sammyb I find it really difficult to imagine a God of War without Kratos, don't know if Atreus can carry a game in the series.

Way I see it, Miles is another Spider-Man, but Atreus is not a God of War.

@Jayslow Yeah wondering that myself, unless this is a remake of the first game? And the sequel is The Lords of the Fallen?

Surely they wouldn't release a sequel with exactly the same title? lol

Small correction - MW3 also released on the Wii, and BO2 and Ghosts released on the Wii U. Ghosts I believe was the last COD on Nintendo.

Knack 3 or we riot

Quickest rollercoaster ride I've ever been in.

Yeah, don't mind it being there, but would prefer it to be optional. Either you can turn it on or off in the settings menu, or like some games have done where it's like "hey press button if you want hint" and you can do it if and when you want. I think some early Uncharteds did that?

14/15. Damn Soulcalibur tripped me

Six! Damn, that's gonna be a long Digital Foundry video.

Yeah, really excited. As cross play is becoming more and more common, we need a central comms system across all platforms, and Discord is perfect for that. It will also be on Xbox, so that's all fantastic news.

Shame about PS4 though

I'm not surprised, it's a game with "4" on the title, and primarily known for its narrative, people are going to be more hesitant to jump in.

IMO Sony should have just ported the trilogy, it doesn't need to be up to par with modern releases, people know they're older games, we see old games re-release all the time.

Overwatch 2 is 120fps as well FYI

Yeah, hadn't played since around 2018 and jumped back in big time now. The fact that it's free to play and cross progression as well helps big time, means I can jump between PC and PS5 whenever I feel like it without any hassle.

Oh boy, these are truly horrific

@Olmaz Not gonna lie, a lot of this is going over my head lol, but what I think you mean is that the hardware is capable of using VRR at lower than 48fps, but it's a software limit on the PS5 that doesn't allow it?

Appreciate you explaining though regardless of me being a bit thick lol

@Olmaz While I don't know the ins and outs of how exactly VRR works on PS5, everything I've seen says it only kicks in between 48-120fps, so don't think it would be any help for 30fps games.

Ugh, I was already on the fence with this, but they can get in the bin now with 30fps in 2022. Might give it a shot if it's ever on Game Pass on PC.

@Deityjester @banacheck "forced" "having to play". Has anyone in these comments played a single game of Overwatch?? You don't have to play against PC players, crossplay with PC is off by default, and you can't even choose to, on most occasions. Literally the only time you'll end up in a PC lobby, is when you actively choose to, willingly, team up with a PC player in your group. Which is fair play tbh, how is that not getting through to anyone?

Man this is being made to be such a bigger deal than it actually is.

First off, this is not new, pretty sure it was implemented ever since Overwatch 1 got crossplay.

Second, it only ever comes into effect if you willingly team up with a PC player in your group, in all other cases console players only play with console players and PC with PC.

Lastly, the advantages/disadvantages of aim assist are not as clear cut as people here make it out to be. Go check some footage from Daltoosh in Apex and see how he wrecks on controller vs kb/m players and how much of an advantage aim assist can be if you know how to use it.

I'm not taking a side just to be clear, personally couldn't care less, but just want to point out it's not as easy to make a decision on how to tackle it, some companies will do it one way, and some another. It is an issue, and there never will be a perfect solution.

Bloodborne Royale

It's a fantastic selection tbh, something for everyone. Unfortunately for me, first time in a while that I already own all three titles. Can't complain too much I guess, can't even remember last time that happened.

@ApostateMage Same man! PES 4-6 I played with Spanish commentary permanently on, way more passionate than the english one, and I couldn't understand a word they were saying. Win-win really.

***** title like that has to be a Kojima game lol

Noice. 14-16 is the magic number for me for a launch roster, 18 is in the ballpark, not bad.

Anything they bring back from Unity is good news imo (apart from the bugs obvs). That game had a rough launch, but once it had a bit of polish, it was fantastic.

I would really like to see a PS5 remaster tbh, nothing too fancy, but the game on PC is still stunning all these years later.

@Shepherd_Tallon What, but Jim Ryan said without CoD their entire business will collapse and they will vanish off the face of the earth. Do you mean to say you can still have a successful console if you just, I don't know, make good games??? Now that's just crazy talk 😂🤣

Like, someone's taking the piss with titles at square enix, right?

fs 30-40 hours for the main story alone? I was interested but that seems a bit much.

Given how beloved Bloodborne is, it blows my mind how Sony/From are just sitting on that property and let it rot. Hopefully games like this and Steelrising start to pick up the mantle.

Yeah, this game is dead, calling it now. It's heavily multiplayer focused, which was gonna be a struggle to build a community even at a £60 price point. It's a given it will also be full of battle/season passes, microtransactions and gambling, and they expect to make this a success at a £70 entry point? Will love to see what the playerbase is two weeks out from release.

I mean, could there just be heavy shaggin?

@BritneyfR_ee Nah, Naughty Dog has zero say on price point. Don't get me wrong, I agree that launching this at £70 is a terrible decision, but this lies 100% on the publishing side of Sony, not the developers.

Will probably grab it a few years down the line if they ever heavily discount it, but at £70 it's a hard no.

This gereration's Wii Sports lol

@Deoxyr1bose I don't think they care that much about that. RE2 remake and DMC5 came out within about a month and a half of each other, and I feel there's much more crossover between those two titles, than between resi and SF.

Not saying it couldn't be as far as May, but my feeling is earlier in the year, to give people some time to figure out the game before competitions. Combo Breaker is end of May, I don't think they'd still want SF5 there.

@Deoxyr1bose I'd put money on it releasing Feb-Mar next year

That's because it's been bloody impossible to get a PS5 without Horizon! Been looking for a while for a 2nd PS5, digital only, on its own (I already own Horizon), and they're virtually non existent.

Fingers crossed this is a sign of licensing having been figured out and we could see a classics MvC collection for consoles down the road. Regretting every day not buying 2 on PS3 when it was available, but still ain't planning to get a 600 banger arcade cabinet.

Speaking just for myself, I've not bought a day 1 exclusive since the PS5 launched, refuse to pay £70, so I'll either do it if I've got gift vouchers etc lying around from Christmas/birthdays, or wait for a sale. Hell, even with sales they're often sitting above £50, which is ridiculous sometimes. There's games like Returnal and Sackboy that I would have gone for, but because of that I still haven't done so.

Again, I'm just speaking for myself, but can't imagine I'm the only one.

Man I've never understood how on earth people can play with concave buttons comfortably. Don't like bat-tops either, but I get that's a preference thing. Concave buttons look like a recipe for blisters.

If Cerny is involved that can only mean one thing.

Knack 3 confirmed!!

My only hope is that they've gone back to the drawing board with this one, after going radio silent for so long, but I doubt it. If it's still multiplayer focused, solely ship-to-ship combat, I'm not too interested.

I swear I'm having mad Mandela effect right now. Not only I was sure this was already on PS4, but was also certain it was given out as a PS+ title and in my library lol

@Kooky_Daisuke Agreed about the PS3 downloads.

I do wonder if anyone knows if you're able to download the PS3 games on a PS3 as part of your sub? Knowing Sony I highly doubt it, but also can't see why not since that hardware supports them.

Pre-ordered both, thanks for the heads up! I've been looking out for these, was puzzled how they hadn't announced anything yet. I've got the DS trilogy compendium, BB+Old Hunters and Sekiro from them, and they are all magnificent, these will look great next to those. Shame they never did the Demon's Souls remake.

Everything in that wording screams MMO to me. Can't tell if it's a good or a bad idea, I guess we'll see. But considering how long it's taking and them saying it's their biggest game to date, can't see it being anything else.

@twitchtvpat 🤷‍♂️ dunno mate, I see that side by side with the original and can't see much changed. Put RE2 remake side by side with the original and see what that looks like. And even that was £45, not £70.

Ooooooft. I love the game but this looks like barely an upgrade from the 60fps PS4 version, let alone a full £70 game. Only way I'd excuse it is if there's a £10 or so upgrade path for existing owners.
