@KundaliniRising333 after Alan wake didn't get the flowers it deserved, I'm hoping this will be at least as big a hit as control was

@rachetmarvel watch power book 2 and you'll see a lot of her in it. Might be a lil x rated...

@FatalBubbles @KundaliniRising333 so wholesome 🥰

@Impossibilium I think it's meant to be the accurate portrayal of a nerd like Peter Parker trying to sound angry or "bad". I liked it. Has heavy Naruto Shippuden emo Sasuke vibes

Plus won't be for the whole game

@Paultall doom & gloom

Imagine my shock 🤯

And we'll all do it again

@NeonPizza might have to copy you with that idea

Like we all know there's a lot of games to come, why is everyone losing their sh*t over this

@ShogunRok agree. Forspoken is a game that has some bad elements

Redfall is barely a game with little to no working elements. Comparisons should stop there really.

@Bez87 I think there are plenty cases where it makes sense but for me, I seriously would've Day 1'd something like this a few years back.

I know a lot of people that carry their tablets around just to do remote play while hotspotting with their phones so this would be an instant buy for them. Also as mentioned, it's great if you have 1 TV and it's constantly in use or you're on holiday away from PS5 or whatever.

@Critonic yeah that makes sense

@Korgon a small part of me can see it getting delayed to early 2024 but whatever was shown is not going to be exactly what the final game will be like.

The gameplay reveal missions for both predecessors played slightly different in the final game. And what was shown here is bound to be several months old

@Bez87 I see the vision for that, they're giving people more options. I for one loved remote play on my Vita. I hate playing games on my phone. The Project Q thing would be perfect for people like me if I had more time for gaming. These days I'm okay with sitting in front of my TV every now and then rather than gaming on the go.

@twinspectre90 I'm sorry but that was clearly being shown on the easiest difficulty. If you played on Ultimate or Spectacular difficulty on Spider-Man or Miles Morales you'd know the games AI is tough

@Tharsman I remember everyone loving the showcase. It was definitely the best showing when it was revealed. Remember the horde of zombies and them chasing you up the sawmill. The negativity only started when it got released and the buggy launch and reviews came in

@Bez87 I wouldn't hold my breath for the Xbox showcase but here hoping they realise all people want to see are games. Not CGI

@HotGoomba I get what you mean but it's good to have some variety right. The zombie game they showed certainly gives off that "do it your way" vibe.

@KidRyan yeah that's what I'm saying. Re-read what I wrote. If the show is delayed due to the writers strike then there is no rush for then to get the third game out before the season that portrays it releases.

And that's good because there's no way part 2 can fit into 10 episodes of television. Would be cool to see ND do sci-fi. That savage starlight rumour has been going since like 2014

@Judal27 oh that's great then, I didn't see that

@Old-Red yeah definitely, not just him it's also Herman Hulst. But look if no one is playing it, if we're literally in the minority, the few million people that play it then really and truly it's a waste of money for them. That kind of cash loss would lead to major problems for them

But on the other hand, they rake in billions so what's a little loss eh. Those games like puppeteer and tearaway and gravity rush are genuinely what capture people's hearts and make memorable experiences. Those games still come but without the polish and marketing but this is why you can't limit yourself to one console

@Judal27 the music is so good, hoping they release a soundtrack

@Uncharted2007 they do have 3D sound. Have you not calibrated yours? These earbuds are pointless, headphones deliver 100000x better audio for gaming

@Exerion76 you saw the same gameplay we all did, what about that was on rails

@Bez87 oof can you imagine the state of these fans if they went another year without showing anything. I do agree that would've been the better option but if you're Sony you got to keep engagement up somehow eh?

I'm sure we'll see state of plays showing off gameplay for haven studios game and concord but it was just an announcement.

I guess we're all forgetting that at the last showcase we saw a teaser for GOW Ragnarok before they showed it off in the state of play. Maybe that's their tactic on new game announcements

@smallbrownbike 😂😂

@Bez87 that's the thing. You call it a showcase, people expect a showcase. No word from asobi, bend, SP, ND. Those studios at least have something to announce. And now it'll lead people to think the next one will be great and then only a few of those studios will show.

I think Sony needs to handle the communication better. Temper expectations because we don't know what's happening, and that's leading to us thinking there's a reason for them being quiet, it's because they want to surprise us. But there is no surprise, it's just nothing to show :/

@djlard hahahaha what

Each to their own, I can understand if you don't like Spider-Man but thought that gameplay looked great. Have you played the games because they're definitely not anything like inFamous

I just thought you were an AC fan going by your DP. Yeah I thought that mirage gameplay looked slightly basic. It's like they just threw a coat of paint over black flag. So I'm not very optimistic it'll be a good experience especially after the RPG trilogy

@Old-Red games take a really long time to make so if they got anything magical line returnal it's gonna take a while to cook.

That being said, it definitely should've been a state of play because not many reveals were shown. Plus Sony's fault everyone has big expectations. When you stay silent like this, any movement will cause excitement

@ItsBritneyB_tch that assassin's creed showing was funny to me. Looks incredibly cross gen and also looked heavily like AC Unity X Black Flag. I guess that's what we asked for 😂

@Terry12 reading the comments you'd think there was nothing on show. I am disappointed to not have seen factions but oh well. That was literally the only thing I thought they would show and didn't

Too many people living in fantasy land. There's still the summer games show and next year to come. One thing I really didn't like was the GT trailer. Like why, such a mood kill.

@Westernwolf4 my goodness. I think I will play this for years. The gliding!! I can't stop watching it

@djlard not Spider-Man? AC Mirage?

Those Symbiote abilities look amazing

@Pleasance the stream was 1080p and had a lot of artifacting. Wait for the 4k YouTube upload

These comments are honestly hilarious, people calm down, get a grip, touch some grass. It was not that bad

I thought it was okay, 7/10. For first party stuff it was very underwhelming but I guess that's what happens when you give studios time to cook

@TripleEyeGaming Spider-Man is a fall 2023 release

@Yukairi that Beyond Good & Evil 2 announcement was too hype to be real ffs

The most arbitrary graph I've ever seen 🤣

They have enough cloud gaming for a lot of people though no? Remote play is amazing. What is the next step?

@EquiinoxGII haha almost everything has live service elements these days. Sony even consider MLB The Show to be live service

@EquiinoxGII TF2 (very successful), Fortnite (very successful), Apex (very successful), Warframe (very successful), World of Tanks (very successful), Diablo (very successful), Warzone (very successful), Fall Guys (very successful), GT (very successful), CSGO (very successful), FF14 (very successful), Path of Exile (very successful), any Fifa (very successful).

There are many live service games and many many successful ones. Which is why this industry will keep moving towards them

Edit: expect a live service Ghost of Tsushima game as well after the success of Legends

Daily reminder that once again, live service games are not always solely multiplayer, co-op or MMOs. It just has constant updates and content being added to it

@KidRyan I think regarding TLOU 3 we'll see ND's new IP first. Then hopefully another few years until the third game. The writers strike might be doing them a favour with not needing to rush out the game before season 3 drops. Obviously season 2 still to come but will it be a 1 game fits in a season type thing or split across multiple seasons.

I know I certainly am not in the minority, love TLOU but there's just been too much. A break is well needed, as well as a different project from ND for us to all enjoy

@Flaming_Kaiser no reason why it can't apply to live service too but yeah I'm more of a single player enthusiasts myself

@bpomber eh most of them were just fantasy land anyway

They seem to be doing a lot right with this one. No broken launch (supposedly), no content we should have locked behind DLC and a beautiful looking game as well

@KidRyan director's cut would make sense tbh. Cash in on TLOU TV show. That would make 2 TLOU releases in 2 years.

Its wild because before the year started I always saw this year as a banger but I haven't had the time to enjoy all those games yet so I've just seen it as another okay year. But you're right, in reality it's been spectacular.

@PlayStationGamer3919 it does make me wonder how many people look at my username in confusion
