I played it and really didn't get the hype. Lots of people were singing it's praises though but it's a crowded market to break into. Why would anyone choose this game over any other? For a couple of weekends while the game is hot, sure, but what's there to keep them coming back? They were naive if they thought they wouldn't have to do something special to maintain people's interest over established titles and the next new game.

I could, but I won't. Excuse me while I deploy my golden parachute...

Do they own the Driver IP or did Infogrames just publish it back in the day? That's a series that needs a reboot.

No idea what relationship these two things have tbh. Seems like they're clutching at straws and trying to guilt people into forgetting their thin skinned response.

If people can get away with making "adult documentaries" based on some of the biggest ip's out there I highly doubt this dude is going to get much love.

Did the UI guy at Atlus quit a decade ago and they just keep using his stuff or does he have the same work ethic as I do? /jk

Not a big Persona guy but really liked the look of this one. Liked the look of most of the Personas too until I play them and realise it's just not my thing though so we'll see how it goes. Maybe a different theme is what I need to get me into their stuff.

R*'s lawyers would no doubt sign off on stuff like this these days given how many people that have tried to sue them.

My God Ubisoft have no idea sometimes.

Souls like metroidvania has to be the most crowded indy genre on the market at this point.

I've played bits of a couple these games but never beat one. Really like a lot about them but they are pretty overwhelming in the amount of stuff going on.

I don't understand the article title. Facebook?

This line up and the price hike really made the decision not to re-sub when my subscription runs out on the 15th a lot easier...

I mean, it's WiFi only isn't it? I'd probably be sitting next to my ps5 while playing it anyway and be able to plug it in (if I bought one when they're inevitably in the clearance bin).

@PlayStationGamer3919 If it was actually a proper streaming device where you could stream any content you own or have access to it might have a market. No idea why on earth I'd ever need a device that only streams my personal ps5.

Kind of wish they'd move on and make a second game. It's admirable all the work they've done but I feel at this point the limitations that make up the bones of NMS are holding them back. I've put in a bunch of hours at different points and ultimately I start to feel that it's all just a bit pointless and shallow in the end. They can add a million mechanics (I think they might have at this point) but the core of the game is always going to limit their ambitions.

Awesome. Fantastic studio. Can't wait.

Borderlands humour is beyond cringey in 2023. Can't blame anyone trying to distance themselves from it.

Can you even get and change avatars directly on ps5?

Looks dope. Will keep this one on my radar.

Does this company even do anything other than snap up companies and ip's? What's the biggest game any of their subsidiaries have actually published after being acquired?

I've started playing Binding of Isaac again recently. It's still the best one of these ever made by a large margin imo.

Oh bugger off. That's not how this works. Make a good product and I'll buy it. That's how the relationship between consumer and corporation works.

Holding a license to ransom unless people buy a port collection doesn't exactly fill me with confidence for what they do have planned tbh.

Playing it on Gamepass. I feel like it's probably a great game but unfortunately it does an awful job of explaining everything.

The studio should fold or go back to making small games for its own sake.

It was whatever. Not great as a whole but some interesting stuff in there.

I was just thinking though, what's going on with Wolverine? Why wasn't it at the showcase?

Looked awesome. As you say though, very ambitious. Hopefully the dev has the talent and resources to pull it off.

Tone deaf and even more fatally looks like an Ubisoft game. Dead on arrival.

I was embarrassed for them with this one. Don't get me wrong it looks kind of cool but yeah, we've got Splatoon at home... Also, no doubt it's a live game and will be doa.

My God these guys are sad. Get over it.

So given Sony's history and the reality of live service games in general 60% of the titles will be dead on arrival. Sounds great.

Might want to note who Deviation Games is in the article. Had to google to find out. Not surprised I don't know the name given that they've never released a game...

Idk why people are so excited for this. The rules as described in the book are too flawed to make for a good game. Imagine playing Fifa and losing all of a sudden when you were leading by 5 - 0 because the opponent did some weird side thing that's barely related to the rest of the game but worth more points than you're likely to score in normal time.

The rules were invented to create exciting moments for a hero protagonist to succeed against the odds, not to establish an engaging competitive game.

Uh, pretty sure they're all the best boy, push square...

Is that Mineral Town game good? I always get confused between Story of Seasons and Harvest moon.

Very fun to smash the controller with your face and have this dude bust out mad moves.

@PSXDave Gon was some kind of trade marked character I think.

Seriously? What a question. PS1 start up gives me goosebumps.

This the first entry in the series published by EA? I've played a couple of them before and enjoyed them. Will probably wait for this one to come to one of the subscription services though.

My God these comments are sad.

About time! Can't wait.

Sounds like they're going to kill there own game...

Maybe wait until there's a library to justify it?

It just looks bad...

They should make it a permanent one... Idk what they could do to save the game tbh. Change the ip to something that actually relates to the game they've made?

If they have to salvage it they could just give it a generic skin and let it die like every other PvE live service game not called Destiny.

Awful line up.

Looks the part. Will wait for reviews to see if it plays as well as it looks.

What exec that works for a publicly traded company isn't obsessed with growth?

@NEStalgia I often think of the feudal system when I see news stories these days and it's an analogy I've used in the past to express how I feel about our modern economic system. Obviously the majority of us are much better off than your average serf back in the day but when you think of where we could be if we had more emphasis on the socialism side of the spectrum it's more than a little depressing.

But hey, I guess being a pampered modern serf is better than being one from the middle ages.

I didn't think otherwise. Been pretty much vapourware from the pov of the public. No different from something like Beyond Good and Evil 2. It's in development but beyond that I have no expectations of it being on my console any time and wouldn't be surprised if one day we hear it's been cancelled.

Oh, cool. Was looking to buy this anyway as I loved the 3DS game. Demo is always welcome though.

An expansion for a six year old game I have zero interest in playing in 2023, yay!

Like the series but not a fan of this new direction. Looks pretty boring tbh.
