Bring back the pseudo-sim aspects from Mafia 1 & 2 and we're eating good!

I want police to react authentically when I stick up a shop and they put out a description of my appearance. Or when I kill the shop owner, I want there to be barricades and tape around the shop and for it to be closed hours later. That world building that they forgot about in Mafia 3 and Mafia remake needs to come back. It's what sets RDR 2 apart from any other game.

@trev666 it's quite clear this game will get a middling 6 or 7 from most publications seeing how they all love saying no one cares for it

@Frmknst people just want to be told what to do. No spines

@PSfan4Life22 woke nonsense? You’re either 42 or an incel. Just because there’s representation for under represented ethnicities doesn’t make it ‘woke’. You ppl love throwing around that word without knowing what it even means. There’s millions of first person shooters with white characters to play as since that’s what you look for in video games

Edit: There are also green, red and pink coloured people so I guess that's 'woke' too right?

@Westernwolf4 SHAAAUUUUUN

This game gonna be as big of a meme as Heavy Rain and Detroit

@UltimateOtaku91 this will never make sense to me. Why do they want a publisher to only make ONE type of game, then get annoyed when said publisher only releases single player games!?

People wanted to hate on Returnal, GOW, SP2, like what do they actually want!?!?!?!!!

Why can't Sony just do a roadmap for the future of PlayStation, sigh...

@Bez87 but I think the unveil of the game made it so that most didn't care. If they unveiled the game as the free to play model and less of those weird cinematics that told you nothing about the game then I think it would be better received. The micro transactions would be horrible but I think no one really cares that much as it is free

@Bez87 I just think the kicker is that it isn't free to play. Make it that and people will hate on it a whole lot less

I hope this game finds its audience because contrary to the comments on this site, we can't just have everything be single player games

This comment section is very horny!

@Cjam36 that new movie was so empty. When it ended I was so confused, what were they trying to achieve with it? The story was barely there, I guess they just wanted to show what the early hours were like but they did that in part two so what was the point? Like it was so nothing.

Edit: also, if they want to capitalise on the 'quiet' gimmick, it could be done so much better, the sense of tension is secondary in these movies, apart from the first one which did it so well. It seems like a one and done thing but they're trying to milk it for all it has, or all it hasn't got. Tired premise, give us something else.

@Frmknst I reckon down the line, even though they have said it won't come due to player toxicity (even though it is already toxic), they will introduce it and allow a Super Earth vs Other Human Invaders vs Planet Enemies feature. Would honestly be so fun

@REALAIS yeah usually when you have a PS4 disc copy and get a free upgrade to PS5, you need to insert your PS4 disc still to play the PS5 upgrade

@DennisReynolds I respect that

@DennisReynolds what are you gonna do now? Restart your save?

@Nem it's just the state of game development these days. Besides, if he worked for deviation games then it's very likely that he was also absorbed into the secret Jason Blundell PS studio that hasn't been officially announced yet and worked on their project.

It's funny. I want to know from those who disliked it, why? Was it not just a fun action film like Bad Boys but more adventure oriented

Pretty cool. Shame it's going to be in Japan and Asian regions first before we get a hand on it

How does Veilguard capture how they feel about the characters what

@Golem25 even though JC2 had way less functionality with the grappling hook and no wingsuit, it was just miles ahead with the gameplay and story and systems. Bigger isn't always better I guess

Might be there day 1. Though compared to Helldivers 2, don’t think lightning is striking twice with this one.

I also think it’s funny because Fairgame$ I think is a 5 v 5 shooter as well

Pretty sure the dude in that video used to run PSLS. Good to see him doing well

Just Cause 2 one of the best games and atmosphere of all time. Back when demos were so purposeful and enticed you to purchase a game

@8bitOG I hear that but the convenience factor plus just couch gaming goes a long way. I am going to upgrade my PC and enjoy singleplayer games on my PS5 and online, sim and strategy games on my PC. Best of both worlds

@TheTraditional I see that, it makes a lot of sense. I always thought that Astro looked that way because Asobi team worked a lot with the R&D department and the people that designed the hardware so I just assumed it was sort of like a forced mascot from within.

Either way, I hope that the series lasts long. Plus VR game as well I hope

@glennthefrog I fully agree because the graphical output is at a really good level, we don't need every big game to push that further and further. I'd like to see what everyone thought would happen this gen which was that systems and CPU utilisation would improve.

I hear the need for shiny shiny graphics but really and truly last gen games look amazing still, we don't need it.

Astro being the mascot for PS5 and potentially beyond doesn't fill me with the most confidence tbh. Great for the promotion of Asobi games and Astro bot stuff but how many PS mascots actually last that long. Like Sackboy is effectively dead and many other game series mascots before it.

And no I am not saying that those game series die because they are mascots but just interesting.

@glennthefrog see now if that happens then I think Sony are completely justified in trying to make more live service titles. It's the same thing with those smaller games and Tokyo Studio, if no one is actually buying them and sales are declining, why keep pouring millions into them.

@ShogunRok that is very true, gonna have to start remembering this everytime I scroll to the comments because it confuses me each and every time

@Atreus97 reading some of these comments you'd think it was the worst superhero game ever made lmao.

@TheIronChimp @sanderson72 that is another thing, I remember how different PS4 Tearaway was compared to Vita with no rear touchpad. Personally I think it would take too much fiddling around with, again proving it's probably not worth it.

Everything that was worth playing on console from Vita has already been ported over in my opinion anyway.

One thing that people have to accept is that PC releases since the modern era have and will always be superior to console releases. Expect for bad ports of course. It's just what happens when their CPUs and GPUs are constantly evolving. Stupid argument that that's the reason to go to PC. It will always be the reason to go to PC. It's nothing new.

Go spend 1k on a new rig if that's what you want

@nessisonett that's telegram

I didn't realise how much they lost on PS3. No wonder PS4 was such a change and they effectively ditched the PS3

@Enigk I think it is too soon for that. I hope it's like a surprise pull from the hat when they announce it but more probable to happening for future generations

@TheIronChimp Vita emulation would be nice but it's only a few first party games worth doing it for and the smaller/indie games have all been either ported to mobile, Switch or released on other platforms including PS3 and PS4.

Don't know if they think it's worth doing

@get2sammyb 2030 we will be there 😎🫡

Well if anything this shows us the route they’ll go for PS3 emulation when someone and their team get it running smoothly and consistently

There is so much that can be done quickly with AI. Anyone who has to write reports or do data analysis and things like that know how much help ChatGPT or other tools are. But they should not be replacements for creativity. Only for mundane tasks IMO

@FreasurePlanten yeah that's very true too. I remember there also being some discourse way back about the Left Behind DLC from ppl that thought it was ruined because Ellie kissed a girl. So I guess some of the vocal TLOU fans really don't vibe with inclusion

@IamJT I forget but you're so damn right. ND suffered so much with those leaks. The whole game was leaked months before the release and had people getting mad with no context. Sad really

@Jacko11 I think it's because of the cancelled Factions game but honestly always baffling to see the hate they get here and on Twitter.

One of the most consistent and quality studio out there. Also the hate for Druckmann is weird as well, as far as I can tell it's just because he killed Joel off

Never in doubt tbh. Still don't understand the hate with TLOU Part 2, story aside, one of the best games ever made. Every game they have made just blows the previous one out of the water.

Love this game but some real weirdos on here from day 1. Not surprised it's mostly from PC players

Ehhh, it's something at least. No matter what they do Assassin's Creed will always sell. Though, I'm hoping we can see some trilogy focusing on one Assassin again, like Ezio. I don't like these pump and dump stories.

It's Returnal VR

@sikthvash Federer also looks like he's about to bludgeon Serena with a nasty backhand

@Jacko11 story wise? Or gameplay wise. Because the story was fine. Everything else was not
