@InsertUsername You got a point. I too don’t mind the graphic/art style of the game as long as it’s fun and immersive. I think I was too critical on Sony here, especially that they are having one of their greatest exclusive and first party outputs this gen. But I just wish we see Jak and Sly back.
@InsertUsername I mean in terms of style, yes. Because Uncharted, The Last of Us and God of War all look similar in that hyper realistic type of game. And tbh, I’m getting little bored about it, they look samey. Although I love and enjoy playing them because of the story and characters (especially from Naughty Dog).
I bet it’s a PSVR game. But PlayStation needs these colourful, joyful type of games. Graphics and realism are cool, but you need colour in the mix. I always prefer art style over graphics. I really do hope we see more first party kid friendly games back, Bring back Jak and Sly please.
I highly doubt they’ll go full on details with the PS5, as we didn’t see any hints of it on their social media accounts. Maybe a quick mention of it during the press and that’s it.
I was waiting for this patch. I couldn’t stand the blurriness and as a result, couldn’t continue with it. Let’s hope this is a significant patch as noted in the patch notes.
@GodGamer I’m not. Layden stated in the article that they must support the PlayStation platform, then he went on and said “but” some titles may need to go to a wider audience. They’ll continue supporting the PlayStation platform no doubt, but some titles may need to broaden up to a wider audience. I think it’s clear.
This is not a surprise tbh. I think this hints that Dreams might be released elsewhere too (PC). It fits the description. And it’s the type of game that needs a wider audience for sure. I can see Sony launching a PS Store app on PC.
Just played BL2 for an hour for the first time, and man the gunplay feels archaic. It’s not satisfying at all and I decided to stop playing it. Reading this news is great for BL3. That’s what it should be. Think I’ll buy it now.
I’m paraphrasing here, but Greg Miller from Kinda Funny Games Daily said in the latest episode that Scott Lowe (friend of his and ND Senior Communications Manager) is on leave at South Korea, why would a TLOUP2 announcement would be revealed this week whilst the person responsible for communications is away? I totally agree with this, and especially we haven’t heard anything about it till now. We’ll have to wait a bit longer I guess.
@Paranoimia Play Astro Bot, it’s my 2018 GOTY. Think of PSVR as a peripheral, because you’re connecting it to a console (PS4). Unlike Vita, which is a game console itself. VR is still new, still early to gain mainstream attention.
So Atlus are having some P5R announcement 2 days before this broadcast, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just teased that and the real announcement is on Monday.
Not surprised really. Especially QD decided to go multiplat recently. But that Sony still publishing it really intrigued me, is this the first time it’s happening with Sony?
Edit: never mind, they published Helldivers, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture and Guns Up! for PC under PlayStation Mobile, Inc. But I’m curious, what makes them releasing their titles to PC?
I believe it’s 2020 too. One of the reasons is Days Gone. I don’t think Sony wants to release BOTH of these games that have the same theme at the same year, totally different games mind you. The other thing is we recently saw some Mocap photos going around from Neil Druckmann and ND, I don’t know how far the production is and I’m no expert, but these may indicate that the game is still not ready yet for 2019.
@get2sammyb Totally agree with you on Astro Bot. I’m having tonnes of fun with it and I believe it’s THE killer app that I was waiting for PSVR, despite I’m just only 2 worlds in. Japan Studio is underrated IMO. They’re doing a great job in gameplay and fun, less focus on story and narrative.
@JAMes-BroWWWn They posted the video because they wanted to celebrate for its 2 years anniversary since the reveal. Nothing to do with TGA whatsoever. Although, also I guess to remind people that the game is coming, not to be forgotten in the mix of video game news and trailers in the upcoming days ahead.
@ShogunRok Totally agree. I think one of the reasons it got brushed aside because of a little game called GTA V came out at that same month of September. Hope we get to see Kutaro back soon. ✂️ 🎭
It will definitely have trophy support too, unlike in the PSOne Classic. Seems Castlevania is having a revival, as there’s also a second season of its animated show coming in late October.
The “In a rare break from tradition” quote really was the reason many thought (including me) that Sony would not do a live press conference. They should a better job messaging it. Anyways, I’m now excited.
Well I think they earned it. They realised they were stretching themselves thin with the many conferences (TGS, PGW and PSX). And probably because they’re preparing their next console reveal. Will miss the live orchestra though.
I’m still keeping an eye on it. The game’s tools and progression system blew me away when I heard about them during PSX 2017. Lots of potential, but Sony have to be smart and realistic about it. A Beta will clear up things as you said, and hopefully word of mouth will spread. Media Molecule are so talented, their weirdness is needed in the PlayStaion family.

Eh, I don’t know about Blessing. It’s not the same without Colin and Greg. The chemistry was key of the show’s success. I miss Colin.

Re: You Need to Let Sony Know if You Want More Sly Cooper
That art style intrigued me when I first saw some gameplay footage of Sly 1 on TV. I really hope they do another one. I miss it.
Re: Sony to Develop Critically Acclaimed MLB The Show Series for Other Consoles
Didn’t expect this news waking up in the morning. I can see Dreams now go multi-platform (but only on PC). It makes sense, isn’t it?

Housemarque.

Interesting that this is not in June. So I don’t expect megatons. But excited nevertheless!
Re: Sony's Digital Refund Policy Takes a Welcome Step Forward

Man, I’m tired of these rumours, and I don’t think it’ll be released this year.

It’s a PSVR game. 5 in Roman numerial is V. So, P5 R= PV R. MIND BLOWN.gif.

Re: Images of Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Steelbook Emerge, Room for Two Discs Inside
I’m not sure, but I think it might be required to install the game using BOTH discs. But only use the first disc for playing it?

Re: Soapbox: Sony's in Danger of Becoming Closed Off
Maybe the reason is when John Kodera took the helm as CEO of SIE In late 2017. Changed their strategy.
Re: Review: Guacamelee! 2 (PS4)
I really do hope this game succeeds commercially, because I think Drinkbox made this game a disservice releasing it during Gamescom.
Re: Feature: The Promising PS4 Games of August 2018
Now add Donut County. Developers are now just jam-packing August before the gaming season starts. 😅
Re: Japan Studio Announces Stunning PSVR Exclusive Platformer
The boss fight from the trailer is very reminiscent of another Japan studio game, Puppeteer, which I really liked. This excites me to get a PSVR?

Re: Stormdivers Is the New Game from Nex Machina Dev Housemarque
The most generic name. Eh, sounds like a spiritual successor to Alienation which I didn’t like. Hope it’s more of a Dead Nation.

Re: Sony Is Creating a New Game Development Team in San Diego
I’m all for more Uncharted. I think Naughty Dog tested the water with The Lost Legacy without Nate and it turned out good. Excited.
