I'm genuinely very surprised. I thought they kept a smaller team to do the DLC?

I'm hoping the PS5 slim gets a discount during Black Friday,

@ShogunRok How accessible is this game to people pretty much completely new to Dragon Age? Witcher 3 was very accessible to newbies, is this game, too?

I (almost) feel sorry for devs and publishers at this point. If it's $70, gamers moan about the expense, if it's $50, gamers moan about a possible catch. No wonder there's so much playing it safe with remakes.

'Young Bond' is a bit vague. The movie Bonds tend to be about 35-50 years old. So I'm assuming a 'young' Bond young be late 20's? About 5 years before getting '00' status? I think anyone assuming a teenager or whatever are getting the wrong end of the stick.

I think 'spin-off' is a bit unfair. It's presumably not a kart racer. It's an anthology sequel or standalone sequel

@johnedwin Also, it's possible she might not be an 'official' samurai. She could be primarily a train assassin or something

Apparently it's set in 1603 Hokkaido. Good idea to make it an anthology series. Hopefully the third game will be set in 1800's Edo period!

@michaelf Yeah, I'm going to buy the ps5 slim on black Friday and that'll be my console for 6 years at least. If I have to wait 4 years to buy the PS6, that's fine. I can't imagine it'll be that graphically different to the untrained eye, anyway

Hell, the original PS5 is too expensive, still. Especially with the 'PS6 in 2026' rumours. I'm kind of paralyzed on buying any ps5. What a joke. I'd pay £350 for a PS5 slim with disc drive.

@michaelf I really hope the PS6 isn't coming in two years time. Will that cost £700, too? The folks that spent £700 on the ps5 pro will be fuming if it's obsolete in two years

I'm going to be blunt. I can't justify paying £700 on a games console. TBH, I can't imagine your average casual gamer doing that, either. The online hardcore gamers will love it, though.

Never say never with Sony doing the same. Even if Xbox's ecosystem stays at 30M, that's still 30M untapped potential customers.

I've literally got two PS4 games left and a mountain of games in the 'when I get a ps5' pile. When will the pro be announced? Really want to get a ps5 pretty soon.

The thing of releasing a big free update along with some kind of paid expansion seems to be the done thing, now. Quite a nice idea.

@Yusuo Neither have I. It'll probably do 'surprisingly well' for a few months, then numbers will drop and it'll vanish off the face of the earth. Just another looter shooter. I find the idea of them so boring at this point

Considering the PS7 won't probably be out until 2036, I wouldn't be at all surprised

The graphics remind me of Zelda crossed with HD versions of the old Harry Potter games. I kind of suit that kind of game, TBH.

@belmont The weirdest thing about the Gollum game is apparently the story was decent and the studio previously made visual novel type games. Why didn't they just make a Gollum visual novel? It'd have been better and cost considerably less to make.

That being said, I'm surprised 'LOTR: Total War' and some kind of LOTR action RPG (Do the Shadow of Mordor games count?) hasn't been made yet

@Frmknst That's a really good point. If the 'AAA' gaming industry collapsed into oblivion, we'd still have AA and indie games. Steam is absolutely packed with them.

@Ralizah I'm sure they'll crack, eventually.

@IntrepidWombat Apparently the pc version got a patch that adjusted inventory space

Sigh, still no discount on Star Trek Resurgence, or that QOL patch for Signalis...

I'd pay $60 for hd remasters of the 'trilogy' if there are as good as that earlier remaster collection. $20 for essentially a port is ridiculous. At least the RDR1 port looks a bit better and (I think?) runs in 60fps.

The constant use of the word scoundrel in promotional stuff is starting to grate. Sort of like how every PR guy needs to say 'Merc with a Mouth' at least 3 times a sentence when talking about Deadpool.

@breakneck I believe it's from Deck Nine/Square Enix. Don't Nod are doing 'Lost Records: Bloom & Rage' which looks like a spiritual successor. It'll be interesting to see which is better. Hopefully both are really good

@ecurb7 TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if in 5-10 years Sony released their live service games on ms systems

@get2sammyb To be fair, it looked like a FP hitman to me in a lot of ways. Also wouldn't it make sense for MS to re-release the earlier two games on Xbox and pc at least?

Really excited about this. And DontNod's spiritual successor, too

TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if there were more interesting 3rd party games at the Xbox showcase

Well, at least I'll have a lot of complete editions by the time I get a ps5.

To be fair, depth of gameplay is much more important than map size.

@Oxy For sure. I've got a list of about 30 ps5 games I'm pretty sure I'd really like so I will get it. Just need to see if the pro is worth the extra money, first.

@Oxy I've still got a few PS4 games on my wishlist and a few older PS4 games I want to replay. I'll probably get a ps5 late this year though

I'm pretty certain Sony are saving a few bigger games for the rumoured ps5 pro reveal in September

Ok, I get people who can't access the game because PSN is unavailable being angry. But people you can access PSN not wanting to sign up to one more account 'just because' are making a mountain out of a molehill.

This is good to know. I'm sure this drought/delay/ whatever we want to call it is at least partly due to Sony flailing about, but mostly it's simply due to video games taking so long to make.

Going to get Expanse and Amnesia The Bunker. Would love to get Star Trek Resurgence when it's on offer and RDR1 when it gets 50% off. Lastly, when will the ps4 version of Signalis get that QOL patch?!

Is there usually a corresponding PSN sale?

Ugh, still no 50% off the Star Trek and Expanse adventure games, or the RDR1 port/remaster. Doesn't Sony tend to have a big summer sale in early June?

Hold on, I thought you couldn't see likes and dislikes on YouTube, anymore?

TBH, I don't really get how individual games have DLC when they're being Sold? Hosted? in the same 'hub'. I was expecting standalone AC 'episodes' of varying lengths.

Once again, nothing on my wishlist apart from one thing is discounted. Where's the discount for The Expanse or Star Trek or the RDR1 port/remaster?

I'm sure I'm missing something but why are steam users so insensed at needing to sign up to PSN?

@Uncharted2007 Only one of the new RE games out of the five has mandatory FPS

@mrbone Presumably they'd rename Paramount plus and add Sony stuff to it?

I think so. There's a rumour that seems to imply that Xbox is going to pivot to being more of a Steam competitor+ 3rd party publisher. I wouldn't be surprised if that rumored 2026 console was closer to a steam deck rather than a traditional home console. It's bizarre that the 'big three' might all be in slightly different niches in a few years time. Portable gaming, home console gaming and (sort of) pc gaming. Sony wouldn't have a direct competitor.

I liked all the LIS games to various extents and DON'T NOD seem to be doing pretty well at the moment. I never preorder anything but I'm optimistic for this.

@nessisonett TBH, those souls-like more complicated combat-heavy games aren't my jam anyway.

At this point, I can't really comment until they actually release some games. 🙄 I'll be really annoyed if they continue to neglect Deus Ex, though.
