Imagine being a dev watching everyone hate on "marvel-style" dialogue these last few years knowing what you're working on. I don't know, man. I don't think the interest is there for this one, but I could be wrong.

That had to be the most mediocre state of play we've seen yet. What are Bluepoint, Housemarque, Bend, and Naughty Dog working on? I mean, not even a tease for Ghost of Tsushima???

Wouldn't be surprised to see the announcement for the showcase on Wednesday. They must be making room for big news tomorrow, but we'll see..

Everyone needs to lower their expectations some. I got hyped for the last three showcases and walked away from each mostly unimpressed. Sony doesn't like to show their hand these days.

Finally, another expanded universe no one wanted or asked for

Don't feed the trolls. The Helldivers 2 player base stretches far and wide. What large group of people does not divulge into people being poopy in 2024?

@Icey664 Could be Naughty Dog trying to make up for all the money lost on Factions

I feel that in twenty years people will look back at Death Stranding's story and recognize it as the Kingdom Hearts of strand games.

Every major release from big publishers should have platinum trophies. It is insane that this is still happening.

The publisher that doesn't learn, holy smokes lol. We'll see, but this feels like the final nail in the coffin. Sorry to see you go, Xbox. I'll still take gears and halo on playstation though, thanks!

I'm on PS5, but aside from Demon's Souls, Returnal, and Elden ring (60fps) I could still be on PS4. I'd understand why people haven't upgraded yet due to economic woes.

I'm imagining the big moment at the beginning of TLOU2 will be the penultimate episode of season 2 with season 3 leading the revenge story.

Whoever is selecting the premium titles should be fired. Of all the classics on PS1 they mostly choose games from the nose bleed section. PS1 being a legendary jrpg machine you'd think every month thered be one of those. No one, or at least the vast majority of players, do not care about the games they're putting on premium which will then fuel the Sony corporates to say over and over no one cares about classics. So dumb

How about a Bloodborne remaster already??

On its nose of course this is a fine idea. My only issue with it is that the Switch and I'm assuming it's successor will be so underpowered compared to the competition for PS and PC, that inevitably there games will be kneecapped by Nintendo's weaker system.

There's going to be a lot of people to lay off

Henry leaving isn't as big a problem as the writers room for this show. I've read the books, and this show ain't it. Even as a fantasy show excluding the source material it is very bad.

Mr. Literature Club, nooo!! What an embarrassment. Way to sandbag one of the best things going for you, Sony. See y'all in the PC space after this generation.

Getting a new pure strength build character prepped slowly for the expansion. So pumped. Elden Ring really spoiled us, the fact we're getting more of it is very exciting. What's more exciting though is for FromSoft to make a true next-gen game Souls game.

This feels gross. It feels like Hasbro's trying to make a quick buck off of BG. Larian asked to make Baldur's Gate 3 while they were in their Divine Divinity days. It's the love that counts.

Yay, Tunic!!! I can't wait to play this one.

They should remaster New Vegas and Fallout 3.

They should let Obsidian take care of the Fallout series. They were given a year and a half for New Vegas and I'd say it's still the fan favourite. They deserved those bonuses they never got.

Maybe they'll rerelease Chrono Trigger to rake in the big bucks.

@Victor_Meldrew Enjoy yourself, dude. I tried, but didn't see the point as you cannot kill any story related characters unlike NV.

I still can't fathom why they thought their updated "dialogue trees" were the way to go over F3 and NV. I downloaded a mod on PS5 for a mute protagonist hoping that it would give me full sentences for the dialogue options and was woefully surprised to still see: Yes. No. Sarcasm. Insult. as dialogue options. WTF man 😂 Why did Bethesda do that!? It's so bad.

I'd love it if Larian made the next Fallout.

@Crimson_Ridley I don't disagree. The MGS comparison was more for the court of public opinion. Bethesda didn't create the world of Fallout, so it rustles my jimmies a bit is all.

@Crimson_Ridley Incorrect. Bethesda made Fallout 3 & 4. Obsidian made NV, and 76 was made by a B-tier studio that never launched a game before. So, technically BGS and Black Isle have put out the same amount of games.

Just as there will be new Metal Gear games, but Metal Gear is Kojima.

I loved the first game and thought it was a fun platinum. Hearing that it has monster hunter elements reminds me of Salt & Sacrifice where the series left behind it's Souls-like approach for a Monster Hunter flavour. I'll wait and see how this turns out. I wasn't a fan of Salt & Sacrifice

I don't much like hearing Fallout referred to as Bethesda's game series. I get they own the rights, but that's like saying Disney's Iron-Man. It's off. Excited to start the show tomorrow night.

@Flaming_Kaiser So, you're ideologically driven to see him as a villain then?

Calling it right now that it'll be a part of PS Extra. Finally! The game is dope as hell. Hope it has a fun platinum.

What?!!! I was hoping we would one day get Foam-con. Oh, the horror.. the horror!!!!

The single player modes were boring and ridiculously simple, and the multiplayer was a chaotic mess.

Animal Well and Dave the Diver! Woopwoop

Disney bringing in a new era of small galaxy syndrome.

Rocket Racing felt way to janky to me when it first came out. Hard pass. I'm an old fogey who took that opportunity to try Fortnite and Lego Fortnite and decided they were both trash.

@Flaming_Kaiser Such as? I'm waiting. I mean, if he's so bad surely you'd have enlightened us by now. Clearly he isn't inventing these things, I don't think anyone's saying that who has the capacity to think.

I just got Helldivers this past weekend. Strange time to join up when we "eradicated" the automatons and 90% of the map is liberated. Hoping something crazy happens this week.

I mean, we have the psp version and the remake (which has the original in it). Why not medievil 2?

I'm most interested to hear from Bluepoint and Housemarque. Feels like a slim chance.

@Flaming_Kaiser Are you insinuating I'm a Elon Musk fanboy for pointing out that people who'd rather criticize Musk than celebrate a huge stepping stone in modern medicine are a bunch of grumps? Please enlighten me why I must join you in crapping on Musk rather than feel good for the paraplegic man in this story? What is he doing that's evil exactly?

Recently got back into Diablo 2 for the thousandth time. Never going back to D4.

What are bluepoint and housemarque up to?

I wish they would add an update to make cutscenes shippable lol. Played a little over an hour of this tonight and can't be bothered to play anymore. Not for me, happy for those enjoying.

Oh, man. I hate this game so far. Unskippable cutscenes, GEN Z dialogue, trap music in a fantasy game, obnoxious dialogue. I've got maybe another half hour of this game before I delete it unless it gets better.

@Flaming_Kaiser I just think turning a feel good story into a soapbox for criticizing Musk is not seeing the forest for the trees.

I remember when Nintendo games used to be easy to play and difficult to master. Now, in my opinion, their exclusives are all babby's first video game in terms of difficulty.

Great month for me! I'm so pumped to play Skull after reading reviews. Game sounds awesome.

Brilliant! What a world we live in. This truly is (and should be) an incredible feel good story. People endlessly bashing Elon Musk over this should serve as a barometer over someone's intellectual capabilities. This. Is. Awesome.
