Wow that Kong closeup makes Craig The Halo Infinite Brute look like a supermodel.

I finally got out of my trophy addiction when I switched to PC this gen, and now Sony is at the door again like some sleazy drug dealer!

Hey hey now, this is just a rumor so lets not jump the sho-gun yet.

I think whoever makes decisions at these companies need to understand that not every dev team is fit to make every kind of game.

Like Redfall or Anthem for example, this was just the wrong devs for this sort of game. I'm sure if they'd make a point & click LotR game or similar it could have been something much better than what they ended up with.

@Grim Glad you like it! I'm looking forward to both these games.

So co-op isn't confirmed for this one? Maybe the second player could play as the dog so you can finally pet your friend, that will sell the game right there.

I do think you undersell the PSVR2 a bit though, although Sony's first party commitment looks a bit bleak at the moment there should be plenty to play. Just check out PSVR Without Parole's top list of games.

Hold on, kids. It's not the only upcoming motorvania:

I'm playing the same games as last week, so I don't have anything very exciting to share in that regard.

On the hardware side I'm pondering buying a g923. Should cover my PC needs right now and also PS5 when I get one. Anyone have experience with it in GT7?

@Constable_What I assumed you were kidding. Big fan of both but I can quickly get enough of "Just Can't Get Enough".

Seems largely pointless to me.

Now a PSVR2 version on the other hand...

Like Depeche Mode and Joy Division. Same band tbh

Sacrilege!

There must be so much drama behind the scenes at Sony's HQ right now it would make for a brilliant half-fictional soap opera.

This one's getting VR support, but on PC only. Sony should put some pressure or alternatively a little cash on EA for a PSVR2 version, because Rally in VR is just amazing!

@ThaBEN @thefourfoldroot1 Seems so many PSVR2 games are released in a unsatisfactory state lately (at least according to PSVR Without Parole). Switchback, Firewall Ultra, Green Hell, Hellsweeper and now this.

@Flaming_Kaiser I meant the show, which has 6 seasons. No idea what they are planning with the games.

Sony is being tight-lipped as usual, but as we all know; Factions speak louder than words.

@KAIRU @render When playing with controller on PC there is zero aim-assist, so in a 1-on-1 fight with any M&KB with any player with even a modicum of skill will usually leave me very dead - they are just so much faster at aiming than me. And this being a game with very low TTK and slooooow reloads that is pretty much a death sentence. If I had played it on a console I would have had the same aim-assist as anyone else.

Still I'm not complaining, this is something I should have researched before buying so I have only myself to blame here!

Regarding permadeath, that is a big part of the game and makes it much more tense to play. And wow if Prestige 5 takes 500 hours... I've seen plenty with Prestige 100 playing solo in trios, likely to matched up with noobies like me and my pals lol.

It's a great game though, if I get a PS5 I'll likely buy it again.

That's a shame. I like much of what they've put out as a publisher over the years and have some great Worms memories as well.

I'm on Season 2 of the show right now and its very good so far.

However, I don't think I'll ever be in the mood for another Telltale game series.

@Cherip-the-Ripper I'm just terrible with M&KB tbh, and just find playing on the couch with a gamepad far more relaxing.

And yeah I played it with some friends and we keep losing our characters all the time. People who regularly play this are just too good, and we're often put up against players with high Prestige levels who obviously know every nook and cranny of the game environment.

Poor Graham obviously bought a copy of the horrible ET game back in 1982, and in a fit of anger swore to never play a video game ever again.

Hunt Showdown is one of the games I've played on PC that makes me want a PS5 for multiplayer games. I prefer to play with gamepad but that is a death sentence against M&KB players in Hunt.

How good would a remake of Pacific Rift be for PSVR2 right about now? Shame Sony didn't keep these guys around.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Great environments and gameplay, weak story.

Project Cars 2 (PCVR): Awesome, now I just need a racing wheel and pedals!

Pathfinder Kingmaker: Good CRPG. Very similar to Pillars of Eternity, but better in every way.

Sounds like the good old "increase prices to keep shareholders happy" scheme.

A VR version of Hotshot Racing 1 or 2 would have been a better choice, imo.

Always a good idea to make it available to non-VR as long as the game still works without motion controls. Wish there were more multiplayer games with this option too.

Feels like the right time to bring back Kaz Hirai and Ridge Racer in one fell swoop!

Feels like game publishers have been partying way too hard and long and its now time for the inevitable hangover.

@Gooseman42 Hope its VR too! First game was very good, but if they can add motion controls, a bit more variation between levels and a harder difficulty level sans the scanner (it unfortunately made game a lot less scary) it could be an amazing sequel.

A cancelled game is eventually forgotten, but a GAAS game is shameful forever.

The Persistence 2?

Great game in itself, but still my least favorite From game. The hard reliance on parries and poor customization options compared to Souls/Bloodborne were my biggest gripes.

Good. The "everything locked behind subscriptions" future is one I don't want to see. And The Plucky Squire looks amazing!

All you need is love.

@colonelkilgore Same here, I still haven't even gotten around to Nioh 2.

I think this looks awesome! Highly original, funny (I never get tired of stupid slapstick comedy) and looks quite challenging too.

@somnambulance is probably joking but I'd rather play this than Spider-Man 2.

This game has looked great since it was first revealed. Hope it makes it to PC eventually.

I still find it hard to believe (but hilarious) that Strickland is now the MW champion. Wonder if they put him on the cover of this game?

Greak

Gorgeous hand-drawn style side scroller where you play 2 or sometimes 3 characters at the same time. Just started it but it looks promising so far.

Loot River

Top-down roguelike where you float these Tetris-like block in a maze of waterways, with some Souls-like battle along the way. Initially I liked it but it doesn't work well as a roguelike unfortunately. The game is very short but also very grindy so I finished it long before unlocking most of the weapons/spells/armor.

Bioshock 2 (in VR through Vorpx)

My first replay of this game since release and it feels underrated since it was stuck being the odd one out between the huge hits Bioshock 1 and Infinite. A great game in itself though, and seeing Rapture architecture in glorious VR never gets old.

Steamworld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech

Another great deckbuilder game. Not a roguelike this time, but rather a RPG set in the Steamworld universe. Story is a bit so-so but the gameplay and variation of characters, cards and combos keeps it fun.

@CaptD Amen. Whenever I try a flatscreen racing game these days I just start thinking how much more fun it would have been in VR.

@Grumblevolcano That also sounds plausible. Suicide Squads reception reminded me of Anthems reception (perhaps even worse) so I'm sure Sony wants to avoid making that mistake.

I've got this feeling many of the unannounced live service games are being reconsidered or outright cancelled after Bungie evaluated Sony's upcoming portfolio, and that is why so many studios games are unaccounted for so far. And ultimately that's also why there's been so few SoP's.

It wasn't the bad animations. It was spidey killed the beast.

Good. I don't want a future where all entertainment is held ransom within subscriptions owned by a few mega corporations.

Take your time, please...

@Fight_Teza_Fight The first one was pretty mediocre, but this one is by a new team and looks a lot better from what I've seen.

I played 100+ hours of this on a very blurry PSVR1 (and original PS4) and still had a blast, so with this added foveated rendering this now sounds like a must-play to anyone with a PSVR2.

And I should also mention: NMS is one of the few VR games you can also play together with your flatscreen friends. Good co-op times!

Some good stuff, but a lot of boring blah blah too.

The amount of Gamepass/XBOX advertising was just crazy though. Keighley has apparently traded the Doritos and Dew for Microsoft. But hey if they offered me that money I would probably do the same!
