Push Square calling this a selection of 19 "amazing" games is certainly an interesting way to try and drive clicks.

Honestly, the release schedule is just silly. So many of these titles are going to lose out on sales by being lost in the crush. They'd be better off delaying some of them, even by a few weeks, to give gamers some breathing room and increase their performance potential.

It's like back in the early 00's when both Split Second and Blur released at the same time, cannibalised sales of each other and both underperformed.

@Jacko11 Tell me you're patronising to people with different opinions without telling me...

@get2sammyb It just feels like making 12 solid single player games (or some with multiplayer modes) would generate more guaranteed cash and also sell more consoles.

@Nepp67 Have you even seen it? I saw it at a press screening yesterday and it was a lot of fun but thanks for the sympathy.

@LifeGirl This is such a dreadful take. Unionisation is the best thing that could happen the industry, the only people it's bad for are greedy execs like Bobby Kotick.

It's baffling they're sticking to this policy when they see how many live service games crash and burn.

If they just stick to solid single player titles like Spider-Man and God of War it would be a guaranteed way to make bank instead of trying to chase this nonsense golden goose.

@XanderTigerclaw You only need to have a quick look on Metacritic to see, it's being roasted as one of the worst games of the year.

I really wish they'd stop releasing so much footage when the game is still 4 months away, it's making the wait so much harder.

I really wish a competitor would come along, similar to Cities Skylines, and make a valid rival to The Sims. EA’s outrageous greed with this franchise has completely destroyed any enthusiasm I had for it.

They'd want to start adding a serious amount more titles to justify these insane price rises.

I actually started it last week after picking it up cheap a few months back. It's not unplayable by any means, it all just feels a bit dated and tired.

It's a scummy thing to due but so long as they're purely cosmetic then it could be a lot worse. The joys of modern gaming.

Sony also sent an email a little earlier with "new launch date" right in the header, very confusing.

I picked this up for €10 a while back and have been waiting for this update before jumping in. It's a shame they didn't keep it in the oven 12 months longer to deliver a stronger title.

Aren't they also rumoured to be remaking IX, and X? I'll believe it when I see them.

Incredible figures, Sony is on a roll this gen. How much had PS4 sold at the same stage in its lifetime?

Why bother announcing this stuff so far out, it's literally only in the concept stage if it's still 4 years from release.

I love Monster Hunter but I would never touch another Niantic product having seen how they treat the Pokemon Go player base.

I really wish publishers would stop pumping money into live service nonsense and focus on making great single player titles that gamers actually want to play. It shouldn't be so hard to be logical.

The Bioshock collection is usually on sale for about £5 for anyone worried about missing out on it.

Also not sure I'd class Avengers as "quality".

Just wait until Square Enix hear.

3m copies on a console with a current install base of less than 40m in just a few days seems like a great start.

Yet I'm sure Square Enix will still be hugely disappointed.

@Northern_munkey The Nintendo strategy.

The news cycle wouldn't be this desperate for rumours if the Showcase last week had been stronger. This is totally bogus.

7/10 feels very generous for a game that's so predatory about pushing microtransactions on kids.

Hopefully they’re moving away from the NFT nonsense they’ve been pushing.

Picked this up for €9.99 new (!) in GameStop a few weeks ago. Waiting for all the free DLC to release by August before starting it.

Will Push Square be reviewing Chivalry 2? I've never even heard of it.

Considering how badly Niantic treat the Pokemon Go fanbase I will be avoiding this like the plague.

Kena is well worth checking out and is a hell of a lot of fun.

Shame they can't fix the dreadful gameplay and annoying lead character.

I hope other companies are taking note that good single player IPs are key to a successful business.

I gave up after about 2 hours. The performance was extremely poor with constant frame rate drops. Coupled with the dull gameplay I was really disappointed in Tchia.

Ok but where is the gameplay trailer.

They've made some dreadful decisions in the past few years so this can only be a good thing.

I know it's always on sale but Immortals really is a must at that price.

I'd love to play it but the difficulty is just too off putting for me.

@extragood It also released for PS3 and the various Xbox consoles which would explain the additional sales but either way its total number is staggering.

@JohnSmitheroo They've just been made available to buy on their own:

Wow this looks excellent, a very pleasant surprise. Though I'm still not quite sure what the objective or gameplay loop is?

@NeThZOR It's funny you say that as I thought 2018 was a bit meh but I was absolutely hooked on Ragnarok.

Society really is doomed.

Weird how certain commentators can't just be happy for Sony's achievements without feeling the need to drag the competition. Be glad where we live in a world of so much choice in gaming.

Huge results, especially considering Covid and the challenging stock situation since its launch.

When Square Enix saw the reaction to the demo they should have delayed it further to work on the gameplay and aspects that people didn't like.

Immortals and Kena at these prices are absolute steals. I'd highly recommend both but Immortals if you only pick one.

Considering how many people the demo put off and that Square feel the need to patch it indicates they never should have put it out in the first place.

Amazing how someone can be a "leaker" with such groundbreaking information.

Fingers crossed for a new title but don't Toys for Bob only work on Call of Duty now? Such a waste of talent.
