If the quality of the latest Sony PC ports is anything to go by, this stolen build is probably indicative of the end result anyway.

I'll make sure to set aside 30 minutes on my 2025 calendar to play this campaign

Asgard's Wrath 2! Put in about 2 hours into it yesterday and excited to sink my teeth into it over the weekend.

This could be fun. Also a way to throw a bone to the people upset that spiderman 2 wasn't co-op despite Insomniac numerous times stating it was single player only.

He looks like he'd invest that money wisely.

I'll take just a PS5 port of the original game at this point. Don't even need the remake.

Between this and the Harmonix game I almost want to play Fortnite.....almost.

You're supposed to make fun of your peers in award shows. Plus it was one of the few jokes that actually landed. Without it we would just be left with whatever that was that Anthony Mackie did on stage for a few minutes.

Thumper is one of my favorite VR games. As it doesn't seem like we will get a sequel, this appears to be the next best thing.

Clearly the hype of the "Florida Joker" being shown is what got the trailer to 90M views in a day.

I loved the English dub in Yakuza 7 Like a Dragon, but unfortunately the casting will make me switch back to Japanese for future games. I don't get it as the English VO for Kiryu in 7 was perfectly fine. Its a shame I'm really gonna miss Kaiji Tang as Ichiban. He crushed that role.

It truly is a wonder how this Harvest Moon clone made by a lone novice (at the time) developer has changed gaming forever. Not only by selling 20+ million copies, but revolutionizing the genre to the point that there's a new farming/slice of life game coming out every week it seems. Kudos to his accomplishments, and continued work ethic. Many would have cashed out by either investing into a bigger team, or just go into early retirement.

That's a bummer for the six people this will effect.

NG+ is the only answer. Curious with the simplification of gear (most enemies just drop tech parts based on their level) they could also increase the level cap as well without too much additional effort.

Wow fantastic list. Honestly I can't remember a time where I didn't own any of the games, and legitimately would play all of them as well.

Everytime I see Arkham Knight news I hope it gets a 60fps boost. Alas today is not the day.

I enjoyed the uniqueness of the side quest, but sadly my memory goes to taking 15 minutes to figure out I need to stand on an elevator and throw a rock at a button to proceed.

On a somewhat related note, is there any logical reason we still can't gift games on the PSN? With digital taking over physical gaming, this is something that's kind of expected in a storefront nowadays. Sending a gift card is not the same as buying someone a specific game.

Maybe they will add overly exaggerated jiggle physics as a gacha prize down the line to capitalize on this.

A statement straight out of the vaporware handbook.

Literally cost them tens of thousands of sales with that decision.

I still play my Vita, but even if they make another handheld, I don't trust Sony to not put some proprietary nonsense requirement into it. They for some reason can never just release a system and let the consumer use a micro SD card, or their own wireless earbuds.

Kudos to his accomplishments within Housemarque. I selfishly hope he starts a new studio that goes back to the twin stick shooter roots of Housemarque that made them so good.

Quite an accomplishment for this series with just 2 games to be sold 5 different times.

I enjoy the world and characters so I'll be playing it. The spinoffs I'm a bit less warm on. I liked strikers cause it felt like an actual sequel.

BG3 by far has the best odds. Would say AW2 could be wild card as 2nd best chance. If it's TOTK it would be ridiculous. The other 3 games don't have a chance.

Glad this is just a setting. Hate this trend of RPGs having level scaling. Completely removes one of the integral components of an RPG.

@mariomaster96 true. I was mainly counting Like a Dragon and of course Rebirth.

I never expected it to be this soon. So we got 3 giant RPGs from Japan to start the year.

@WolfyTn which is 95% of their player base.

But isn't the game still about shooting people with guns? Or are we replacing those with walkie talkies?

Probably should have held this game and released it around now. Not only do you avoid the loaded summer which clearly affected sales, but they could actually release a more finished product.

I thought I remember them saying they were gonna to make their next game with a much smaller scope. Which I feel is smart. Let's your team work on something and get it out the door in a quicker time, but also doesn't force the pressure on you that so many developer have had over the years to follow up a masterpiece.

That feeling when you realize you'll be well into your 40s by the time the next Persona game comes out. I'll still be playing the ***** out of it.

Between this and Rebirth I'm gonna be well saturated with JRPG goodness for quite a while.

@GamingFan4Lyf RIP Midgar Zolom. Taken from us way too soon. At least let me level up a bit more to learn the enemy skill Beta with less trouble.

While I agree there could be usefulness for AI to enhance certain functions in a game you'd never waste resources on like NPC interactions, it's still a slippery slope that I don't want to support. Unfortunately the corporate goons are just salivating at the thought to replace 90% of their workers with AI.

Not a chance it comes out in six years. Honestly I think there's a better chance of Bioware getting shutdown after Dreadwolf than Mass Effect coming out before 2030

Ooof. It's a shame cause I really enjoyed the English VA in Yakuza 7 Like a Dragon. But I'm not sure if I can play with Kiryu in English. His Japanese VA is so iconic. Would be amazing to have the option to only have him in Japanese.

Oh the difference that 6 years makes. When Persona 5 Vanilla released, Atlus went scorched earth on streamers, YouTubers etc warning them to not show any of the game after a certain date (this was well after the release of the game). Now here they are just releasing the entire game early by mistake.

@NotSoCryptic CDPR has long said Phantom Liberty is the only DLC they will release for CP2077. So this will be the complete edition. They have moved on to the next full game.

Hoping for a new trophy set like they did with Witcher. I may double dip!

I love that they still celebrate the existence of one of the greatest trilogies of all time (not just games). But I refuse to get excited for new Bioware projects. Next Mass Effect was announced 3 years ago and still I doubt it's as actually being worked on.

I'm gonna have to use my Skip card on this one.

Annapurna doesn't miss. I'll check this out at sometime.

Did the leakers take on job losses as well? Sure came in late this month.

I thought there wasn't a way for me to be less interested in a multiplayer shooter, but AI finds a way to prove me wrong again.

Yet I'm sure it'll still be full of microtransactions and paywalls since it was built from the ground up that way. Can't say I'm a fan of this f2p model coming into premium games. Essentially company execs having their cake and eating it too.

Put me in the camp as I didn't expect this to come out on Q1 2024. Gonna be busy with Infinite Wealth and Rebirth anyway!

@ROTTIEMAN16 true Asgards Wrath 2 comes in December (and also is bundled in free and not an extra $50). But Supernatural alone is worth the price of a quest for me personally. Also really digging Samba de Amigo. On top of all their other exclusives (and other 3rd party games) being backwards compatible which we can't say the same for PSVR 2.
