@Ravix meanwhile I'm sat here excited to see what Remedy do with their refined sense of weirdness with these remakes. I'm hoping Max gets seamlessly folded into The Remedyverse... I just want the spiderman meme but with Alex Casey, Alex Casey and Max Payne!

@Flaming_Kaiser because my girl Terra deserves The Best... I say that but what I ACTUALLY want is something less graphically intense than VIIRilogy, maybe somewhere between XIV and XVI if that makes sense? oh oh or more like the graphical intensity of World of FF but with XIVs character proportions!

I would prefer a full modern 3D remake, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at a HD-2D remake

I've said it elsewhere but imagine thinking SoTE wasn't a game, what is it then? A Banana Split?

@QiaraIris Guess what won best RPG in 2016? That's right Blood and Wine! But I guess that doesn't matter.

If they give DS3 a Scholar of The First Sin do-over I am all for it. If the rumour of Sony buying kadokawa is true it'll likely open the way to bloodborne's return... Unless Sony ***** that up.

I'm in a small slump at the moment, moving on from finishing Alan Wake II is proving hard. I'm wanting to continue DA Origins but somethings missing... So instead I'll likely focus on levelling Monk in FFXIV.

@z0d15g0d Excellent, you'll get a friend invite from Mintie Choq'tchip and we shall get that Moogle!

@z0d15g0d I can easily pop over to Louisoix, you can only search for online players, I'm free whenever today and over the weekend so just give me a time and I'll hop on to get you through the queue - solo queueing as DPS can be a nightmare for older content.

@z0d15g0d Good King Moogle Mog, he's an 8 man trial, I tend to get him a lot as a roulette I'm on around 7pm UK time. What data center/ world are you on.? If I can get to you I'll happily bump your trial queue times as a tank

IF they can nail a Monster Hunter like feel but giant robot creatures I'll be more than happy to jump in.

I do wonder when we'll see it properly revealed though? Maybe the Game Awards with them being in a month?

Just the news I've been waiting for, this has been sat on my Steam wishlist for ages

I'm going to lose so much time to this... providing it is as delightful as it seems... no wonder my backlog keeps growing at an exponential rate.

It's definitely happening if Grubb says it ain't! He's wrong more often than not, literally only getting things right through repetition.

I was really interested in this before they retooled it as an extraction shooter, now I'll probably never touch it.

There is this part of me that really hopes the Concord episode is good, solid entertainment.

I'm still a bit heartbroken that this had to die so that Alyx could live.

@Sarcasmatwork allow me to introduce you to your new face crimbo carol!

Finished Alan Wake II + DLC, fantastic gam, but now I am in need of MOAR Remedyverse stuff and Control 2 is probably a ways off...

Now to continue my replay of all the Dragon Age games!

We can hope for a Fallout scenario but prepare for a Far Cry situation.

I won't write this off until I at least see a trailer, Personally I hope they go for a prequel, maybe even go for discovering the Relay and the brief war with the Turians...

@get2sammyb I only needed one thing out of the beta and that was to gauge how well it ran on my PC, I'd prefer just straight up playing on PS5 but the PS+ requirement keeps MH firmly on PC. It worked well enough but yeah after how clean Rise was the grunginess of Wilds was a bit... meh... But I do wonder if its just something that needs getting used to.

Currently playing AW2 and loving it, picked it up on the EGS for dirt cheap with all the DLC and it has successfully scratched the spooky itch.

The way it folds in the FBC just makes me even hungrier for Control 2, I do also wonder if the Max Payne games will be folded into the Remedyverse with the remakes.

Just forced myself to uninstall MH Wilds beta because if I don't do it whilst I'm fairly lucid I'll end up losing the whole weekend to hunting the same three monsters... Sooooo I'll be on Alan Wake'2 butt until I finish it probably!

If there wasn't a smorgasbord of third party games already piling up in my backlog I'd be concerned that there are so many studios we have zero idea about what they're working on... but as it is I'm happy for them to beaver away and hopefully not announce more GaaS future flops.

The lil friendo is too useful to be silenced! All hail Talking Cat!

Seriously though, I could've sworn the Palicos had been able to speak normally in some of the older games.

@Lavishturtle and yet all signs point towards Dragon Age being a success.

Not yet, waiting for the Steam version to hit!

Oh to be a fly on the wall in PlayStation HQ!

I do wonder if anyone besides the Studio will see consequences and how long it'll be before we see the 'lessons' learned by Sony from this.

Alan Wake 2, 10hrs in and I love it, it's spooky in a way only Remedy can manage.

I have also been playing more Honkai Star Rail cleaning up old side content and finishing the latest msq.

Exactly what I've been wanting, need to see how it runs on my PC before deciding what platform I'm going with... Hopefully PC as I don't have PS+ and enjoy doing hunts with randoms.

Same as Yoshi-P setting FFXIV Dawntrail to after Shadow of The Erdtree...

@PorkChopExpress Monster Hunter's a hard franchise to get into but once it sets its claws in you it'll be with you forever

I just picked up Alan Wake 2 on the EGS for under £28 including all the DLC so I plan on melting my PC and pissing my pants over the weekend

I trust IOI... but I swear if I see Bond dabbing I am going to riot!

I am really looking forward to seeing what their Bond is like.

@roe add on top of that the price increase of gaming AND cost of living crisis and a lot of people are being more selective with what they buy at launch.

I'll need to see some actual live gameplay because my main issue during the MMO versions beta was how amateurish the presentation was for the narrative. The gameplay was okay erring on the fun side.

Awaiting the Re-elected Edition in a year to eighteen months, been burned by the re-release happy Atlus too many times.

@PuppetMaster I blame SF2 Chun-li for the part of my taste in women that centres around them being able to toss me around like a ragdoll.

I'm quite enjoying this over on PC... But I just wish these Korean/Chinese MMOs would hire someone to naturalise their localisations, there is such a stiff ever so slightly off quality that is unmistakable and you know it is because to VO direction was forced to stick to the badly translated script. There is room for the story to shine but it never gets to in these MMOs.

If this game ever reaches market it is going to be fascinating to dissect with how grim development has been... The World of Darkness truly is a cursed IP.

Continued financial woes mean no new full price games for me. Wish me luck on the job hunt!

But if I had the cash I would've been all over this day one!

I want this so bad but I think Atlus burned me one too many times... I can already see the RE-Election Edition in a years time being a thing...

@get2sammyb that and resources saved developing for a single sku... soon to be two sku's but the difference isn't so large as that between X and S.

The Series S has been such an arse ache for this generation.

With the pace I'm replaying the first three Dragon Age games Veilguard will probably hit its first sale before I pick it up... I had planned on getting it day one but bad time management on my part means I'll probably be just getting Hawke settled in Kirkwall by the time Rook and chums come stumbling through the gate.

I need to fiddle around with this Megalights addition, I have a few portfolio environments that would shine with this working in them.

@TheLotteryMan1 Generic monster design? Can you point to a few other games that use similar designs?

I was in London this weekend for the FFVII Rebirth concert at the Royal Albert Hall, was really good!

38 people, that's low enough to be friends and family to make it look like people are pledging.

I'm hoping that some of them realise what they're doing and pull out.

@nessisonett well put.

I don't mind the film being Jin centric because it started a long time ago... but yeah for the games let Atsu shine.

If they do feel compelled to do more Jin I hope they do it as a really dense novel to piss off the nuggets that are whining, but also for me because I'm never truly happy unless the book I'm reading doubles as a bludgeoning weapon.

I need FFVI in the 2.5D style!

This and Thread of Time look so damned good!

@carlos82 I'll do what I did with season 1, wait for it all to be out and Now TV to do a deal on both the entertainment package AND the boost for 4k streaming, then use that month to binge stuff I've missed. But yeah, their standard streaming of horrific

Thanks for the reminder the anime is out! Not a fan of the pvpve extraction stuff, so I'll probably stick to the non-game portion
