I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’m looking forward to this game but I’m nowhere near as hyped as everyone else in here, and I loved the first one.

It’s kinda funny how so many games follow a pattern. Soon there will be plenty of space games and samurai games available.

I thought it looked pretty interesting. As long as it reviews decently well I’ll want to play it.

Better than I expected.

I enjoyed: GoW, Tekken 8, Hogwarts, and Project Eve. The rest was meh, games that are a generation or two behind. It’s probably due to their engines though. Japanese games used to be the ones that pushed everything forward. You would think small sandbox’s and corridors worlds would look better.

“Well it’s always good to go in expecting the worst.”

Sony’s new catchphrase lol.

That kinda fits with Sony nowadays.

I’m imagine I have an uncommon opinion on the subject of how I want a majority of games to go.

I want improvements to animation, small details, AI and general world improvement. That doesn’t mean I want bigger worlds. It feels like it’s to the point to where we are getting games now over and over that are very similar to each other. The biggest difference being a different protagonist and world.

Back in the day, games really felt like they were improvements over the previous edition. Now, they are less improved and just slightly different.

The person from ThatGamer preview sounds like they would be real fun at a party.

My kids and I watched the Marvel one and I was surprised by how many phone games were shown. The next day, we starting watching the Ubisoft show. When they got to their 2nd or 3rd phone game I just shut it off and would look it up after it was over and decided to play Rocket League instead. I don’t give a damn about phone games.

GRANTED, I’m getting to the point to where I’m accepting that hardcore gamers are NOT the focus in the entirety of gaming anymore. I find myself getting more and more disappointed year after year with being a long time video game fan. Even with Sony it feels like they care more about their PC and PS4 owners than they do with their PS5 owners.

When it comes down to it, hardcore or traditional gamers, whatever you want to call us are NOT the focus anymore.

Good, wished it would have happened already.

Interested? Yes, but have low expectations. I love Amy but we’ll just have to wait and see. I’m thinking 2025-26 release date.

My kids and I are really looking forward to this. I hope it turns out well. If it does, I’ll buy it first week.

Lol. Microsoft trying to prove they are not forming a video game monopoly and all these people screaming buy everything and make it exclusive.

Also, there is a difference between Sony buying smaller studios and Microsoft buying big publishers and their studios.

Also, people saying Sony made many games exclusive but the truth is Microsoft passed up on many of the opportunities, like, Spider-Man for instance. The games only exist because Sony gave them the go ahead.

There is so much disinformation going around.

I don’t see them really bringing it down in the future. It doesn’t effect their sales, so, they don’t care. They don’t care if you have room for other games.

It would be awesome if they went for smaller games that are around 39.99$

@LiamCroft Just looked it up, it’s likely to come to GamePass. The director/owner/whatever said he’s buddies with Phil and could see it coming after it gets a little time to sale traditionally. So, I imagine it will probably be on it within 6 months after release. So, I can wait.

You were right though. I had read on other sites it was coming. I guess they were wrong. Plague Tale and High on Life will be nice though.

I’ve been catching up on some titles I missed. Gears of War Judgement, I am Fish, Killer Instinct, Forza Horizon 5, State of Decay 2, Sunset Overdrive, and Sea of Thieves mostly. On my PS5, I’ve been enjoying Dying Light 2 especially since I waited for all of the patches. Been playing Rollerdrome, and Midnight Fight Club or whatever it’s called. Borderlands 3 is waiting for me as well.

That all sounds like a ton, but I haven’t spent that much time on any of them. Life gets in the way. I definitely have enough to keep me busy until GoW2. Then that will be my focus, except for when I game with my kids. I spend a lot of time on Rocket League, Apex, and Fortnite with them.

@Would_you_kindly. I with you, but, you have to accept this isn’t the Sony that made the PlayStation super successful. The people that focused on their hardcore fan base are gone. I dislike all the changes that are occurring with PlayStation. I don’t like how Sony is silent with their customers. I don’t like that the PS5 is not their focus, it’s PC and PS4. I don’t like how the best talent is wasted on remakes/remasters. I don’t like that PlayStation is starting to focus on GaaS and micro transactions. I dread to see the state of gaming by 2032.

That all sounds very negative but I’m in pretty good spirits. I don’t like all that crap I mentioned, but, it is what it is. PlayStation has been enough for me since I sold my 360 and bought a PS3. Now though, PlayStation doesn’t release enough that interests me or keeps me busy. I beat all of PlayStation’s 2022 releases months ago, not including Stray. I beat it soon after it released. I’m mostly waiting for the next big experience. That’s GoW2. There is nothing about TLoU that interests me. I beat it multiple times 8 or so years ago.

So, I find myself waiting for the next big thing. To fix that, I bought a Series X to fill in the time that PlayStation leaves open. It’s been really nice catching up on so many games I’ve missed. Now with GamePass I don’t have to buy Plague Tale 2, The Calisto Protocol (edit: calisto is not coming day one) and High on Life when they release.

My advice is just to quit caring as much. Accept that what made us enjoy the PlayStation just doesn’t exist like it use too. Their most dedicated fans are not their focus. It’s crazy that they’ve dominated the video game market yet they are trying their best to mimic Microsoft’s Xbox strategy.

People will read all this and think I’m crazy or whatever but I have a buddy that’s so pissed that GoW2 is not a true PS5 game that he refuses to buy it until it goes on sale. He says F them. His PS5 can collect dust. Like I said, I’m to the point to where, it is what it is. I’m buying it. Probably will end up splitting it with him so neither of us have to pay full price.

Well, this helped me to kill some time. Thanks.

I wish I was a fan of space games but most do nothing for me.

Still a definite waste of talent of one of the best studios out there.

It already takes years for new games to release and now those years are delayed further by using some of the best in the industry on what should have been an outsourced project. I don’t care that this started as another studios project that failed, it shouldn’t have gone to Naughty Dog. You’ll probably want to respond that it was a good training project for the PS5. The PS5 is very similar to the PS4. Please don’t buy into that these people needed training. Then you hear it was a good project in between projects. If that’s the truth, Naughty Dog leadership needs to be fired.

I’m calling a 6/10. Which isn’t actually bad.

Im so ready for this game to release so we can move past it.

The only way I could possibly enjoy hearing about this game in the future is if it wins GotY over Elden Ring. People will lose their freaking minds.

Well, I feel like Sony isn’t as good as they once were and that pushed me to buy a Series X this past week. I feel like the wait for Sony’s best games were getting longer and longer. So, I pickup an Xbox to fill in the gaps.

Sony abandoning Evolution, Japan and some of their other franchises like Infamous, Uncharted, Resistance, pushing unneeded remakes, feeling like they are focusing on everything else but the PS5 has really pushed me away.

I haven’t owned an Xbox in 13 years and Sony is the reason I recently bought one.

I really enjoyed the Mafia Remake. This is some of the best game news I’ve heard in a while.

………great. Yeah, that’s uhh, great.

Im a big PlayStation fan. I actually own multiple PS5s but with the Sony releases being so far apart and then releasing remasters/remakes that I have zero interest in, I bought a Series X yesterday. Now, I can play the best of both worlds.

If Microsoft is willing to take the hit to their buy-in profits, this would be a fantastic time to cut the prices of their systems.

Xbox has been getting a ton of positive publicity these past couple years and this would be another pro consumer win for them.

I don’t understand the issue with L3 and R3. It’s NEVER been an issue for me. Quit gripping your controllers so hard.

I would love a game based off of the old cartoon The Real Ghostbusters. I’m really shocked by how much Sony ignores this property. They could do so much more than what they have.

I’m planning to buy this game as long as it turns out to be a solid experience. I had that same plan for Saints Row but I ended up putting it on the wait for sale list.

I had every intention of buying it day one as long as it was as good as 2 or 3, but reviews said otherwise.

I’m going to buy it but it will be when it’s on sale. If it had launched at 40$ I’d bought it still day one. Now though, by November I’ll only buy it for 25$ or less.

This biggest issue that I have with games today is that while being somewhat high quality the VAST majority just run together and I can’t remember what is what or what name belongs to which game.

Nothing really stands out, so many remind me of other games. That everywhere game gave me Fortnite vibes and some other one reminded me of a combination Destiny and Warframe.

This is the first time I actually liked what I’ve seen of this game. I dug the trailer. It looked promising to me.

Like everything else I guess.

Man I wish it was releasing around the middle of Sept since that month has nothing else.

Yesterday some reputable Twitter games journalists started to run with the story that Embracer had also bought the rights to Infamous, Sly and something else from Sony.

They were linking Wario64.

I noticed his Twitter @ was different. His name and profile was Wario64 but his at was Warlo64.

I told them you guys are quoting a fake account. They deleted them.

I have no pull on Twitter but these guys with a decent following need to watch for that crap when they are stating news.

@Anke Probably four years into the PS6.

I wish this was coming out in Sept since it has nothing.

Another day of Sony’s silence.

The 3rd party news is nice but Sony is getting old.

I could see one state of play in the coming months for GoW.

Sony has been mostly silent for a long time now. I assume they think they will be successful regardless, so why bother? That’s pretty much how they conduct themselves. They are nothing like they use to be.

@Realist I’ve never experienced lag once, but it could be from where I’m from. It’s been perfect.

Black Adam and the Gremlin Spike have leaked. Google it.

Id love Beetlejuice and Fred Flintstone.

@Omnistalgic Bare minimum, if they have to factor in low end PC’s that use a HDD in regard to world building (forced crawl/squeeze spots, elevators, etc), that’s a hindrance to the PS5.

I remember in the past year when delays were occurring and everyone was like, man 2022 is stacked. Déjà vu. If it’s needed, oh well, but all these delays suck.

@nomither6 Never heard of dev kits huh?

@Balosi Yeah, PC and PS4 are getting all the focus. There hasn’t been an actual PS5 game release since Ratchet and Clank last year. We got some PS4 ports this year though.

I now own a Steamdeck and can play PlayStation games on the go, but I still NOT a fan of Sony diluting the worth of owning a console. I still prefer console actually having exclusives. Now, with Sony having a PC mindset, they’ll most likely develop games with low PC tech in mind and not actually utilize the PS5. Just like how the PS4 has hindered the PS5.

The second tier is okay, the third is a joke.

It’s an unpopular opinion but I believe the PS3 generation is easily the best ever and it’s been SLOWLY downhill ever since.

The PS3 had:

Uncharted games
Resistance games
Motorstorm games
Little Big Planet games
Infamous games
Sly Cooper
God of War
Puppeteer
TLoU
GTA 4&5
Red Dead Redemption
Bioshock games
Demon & Dark Soul games
Spec Ops The Line
Split Second
Tomb Raider games
TMNT and Double Dragon 2d games
Spelunky

And a ton more I’m forgetting.

Man, I really miss the 360/PS3 generation. Hell, even Microsoft had some of their best games then.

PC, the best place to play PlayStation games.

I’ve never spent a dime on shark cards and I bought this back in 2013.

I dread seeing the state of games by 2032.
