Crimes and Punishments was really good fun so fingers crossed, hoping this will be as well. I gave TDD a pass, let's hope that wasn't a sign of things to come.
I don't see why people want to know all the details so urgently. It won't make the console come out any more quickly. Timing is important, I think they know what they're doing better than we do.
@TheArt True, I think the focus was definitely on the machines as you say. I think some of the characters you mention have potential. Would be interesting to see them fleshed out a bit more.
I wonder how well this game will lend itself to a comic book narrative. There's a lot of things HZD does really well, but I felt it didn't have many characters that were particularly interesting. By the game's end, outside of Aloy and mysterious / suspicious man, there's no one living who's all that memorable. But hey, maybe this is a good opportunity to create those characters.
@get2sammyb I thought it was great, nice to see someone offering an opinion on this sort of news unlike a lot of large sites where there's little to no personality to the pieces.
I actually joined this website just on the run up to E3 2015, you guys must have been pretty good at building the hype for it, seems too much of a coincidence. Although I do recall you running a rumours article, I think the night before? Which was pretty much bang on but essentially saying, "There's no way this is true! Someone's on the wind up!" Was all very entertaining I have to say.
Easily one of the best games ever made, very few games come anywhere near the story telling in this game. Great interview! Fingers crossed Cyberpunk 2077 is just as amazing.
I preferred it when we got lots of indie games on ps+ but everyone has different tastes. I might give Cities: Skylines a go but honestly I've still got quite a backlog so I don't mind that it's not a game that I'd be jumping up and down to play. The farming game seems an odd choice but it's something a bit different I suppose.
@Wesker Yes, fingers crossed for a big overhaul, they admitted themselves that they're too formulaic and were looking to change so you never know. Going by that cutscene, they're definitely not going for realistic.
Did that guy just casually remove a sword that was completely embedded in his leg and then carry on fighting like it was nothing!? He'd be lucky to not be dead within seconds from a catastrophic bleed, let alone carry on.
I haven't played any AC in years. Vikings are fun, hopefully this is good. But I'm quite wary of Ubisoft in how they have created previous games with their rigid formula.
I currently have 95 platinums, I haven't gone for any in a few months though. Quite a few games I'm determined to play before the PS5 arrives, that's my priority at the moment.
It needs to be a game where the player is Harry and he's taken over from Hagrid. And one day he goes a bit nuts and unleashes his giant spider army and other beasties upon the school. I'd play that. Maybe.
If PS5 doesn't give us a good deal of strong quality indie games, I'm going to be seriously gutted. Give them the attention they deserve, Sony, please.
Great idea, there's a really nice community on this site, many of which are currently stuck indoors (even more than usual). Perfect opportunity for them to show how creative they can be.
To be fair, we never actually see Vaas die, or find his body as I recall. Just the main protagonist going on a drug fueled fever dream. Surprised more people didn't question that. So the return of the only interesting Far Cry character makes a lot of sense.
I occassionally notice a Vita games being discounted on PSN when I hit filter on the PS4 sales and set platform to Vita. I think it's always cross buy games though, and the choice of games tends to be pretty slim. Still worth checking though, I found a few decent games I've never heard of doing that.
Fair play, the dude shows some impressive skills. The super slowly chipping away at health bars doesn't make for the most entertaining spectacle for me though. Would like to see him do, let's say, a no box run on Resident Evil 3 on Inferno difficulty. That would be much more exciting for me to watch.
That's excellent news, well done Sony. So many incredible indie games on Playstation, great to see the developers looked after in tough times like this.
I'm really enjoying Resident Evil 3 so far, it's great fun. Resistance is enjoyable too but maybe could do with some more balancing. A next gen Resi 4, I'd love to see what improvements they can make over the original.
@SoulChimera I'm sure you're right! But, I've waited this long, so... My general rule is to purchase on release or wait for a discount. Can't break the habit of a lifetime, not with this backlog.
Smart strategy to keep banging that drum, but I have a feeling that showing off the actual games is what will sway the most people. And there's still plenty of time to prepare for that.

Re: Talking Point: What Free June 2020 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
At least one cross play title so I've got one ps+ game I can play on my Vita. You never know.

Re: Talking Point: What PS5 Games Do You Expect at Sony's Next-Gen Reveal Event?
Some exciting ideas there but I'd probably be more excited by a new Housemarque launch game.

You guys are welcome to use my PS5 mockup next time if you want to, just saying.

Re: Mini Review: Thy Sword - Thou Shalt Enjoyeth This Roguelike
@get2sammyb @Rob_230
That's good news, cross buy games almost always end up on sale. Only way to get a vita game on sale these says.
Re: Interview: Looking Back on The Witcher 3 with Lead Writer Marcin Blacha
Easily one of the best games ever made, very few games come anywhere near the story telling in this game. Great interview!
Fingers crossed Cyberpunk 2077 is just as amazing.
Re: Mini Review: Thy Sword - Thou Shalt Enjoyeth This Roguelike
Looks quite fun, would it be fair to assume this is cross buy title?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 324
I'm hoping to play Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 4. Fingers crossed!
Will probably have to settle for FF7 though.
Re: PS5's User Interface Could Help You to Plan Your Game Sessions
I do often wonder how far it is to the next save point. But at least we have standby mode these days.
Re: Reaction: Sony Needs to Show Us a True, Next-Gen PS5 Exclusive After Lukewarm Inside Xbox
Last two generations we've seen something awesome from Housemarque as a launch game, so hopefully we see that again with PS5.

If I put my sensible hat on, then yes, I agree.
Re: Instead of Buying IPs, THQ Nordic Is Now Swapping Them
Let me know when Sony & Nintendo swap Uncharted for Mario. Then we can witness the the Internet explode in a fireball of anger and fury.
It will be glorious.

Yes, fingers crossed for a big overhaul, they admitted themselves that they're too formulaic and were looking to change so you never know. Going by that cutscene, they're definitely not going for realistic.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Launches on PS5, PS4 in Holiday 2020
@Wesker
Sadly, they know all too well that as long as the game isn't awful, the name is big enough to sell by the bucket load, regardless.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Launches on PS5, PS4 in Holiday 2020
Did that guy just casually remove a sword that was completely embedded in his leg and then carry on fighting like it was nothing!? He'd be lucky to not be dead within seconds from a catastrophic bleed, let alone carry on.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Revealed, Cinematic Trailer Coming Tomorrow
@tomassi
That is reassuring, many they've turned a corner. I know they admitted they needed to make some changes.

I haven't played any AC in years. Vikings are fun, hopefully this is good. But I'm quite wary of Ubisoft in how they have created previous games with their rigid formula.

Oh, aha, I should have guessed, fair enough!
Re: Job Listing Suggests Apex Legends Is Getting a PS5 Port

I guess so, nothing particularly exciting so far though.
Re: A Whopping 10,000 PlayStation Games Now Support Trophies

I wasn't aware, I love a good bargain so these sort of sites could be really handy, thanks.

Still waiting for a half decent discount on this one, does look fun.
Re: No Man's Sky Gets Mechs in Latest Free Update, Available Now on PS4

Yes, it was really good fun, I agree. Really enjoyable story mode, definitely looking forward to the next game.
Re: No Man's Sky Gets Mechs in Latest Free Update, Available Now on PS4
I love mechs but surely half the fun of them is when they're firing missiles and assaults cannons at one another or punching each other in the face?
