I agree that it walks a weird line. It's clearly homage but it really is following JSR to a T. On the other hand, I can't feel like it's ripping JSR off if Sega isn't actively using the license.

I hope they improve on JSR's controls though. The PS3 re-release was pretty jarring to play.

Neat, I'd always wanted to try Dreams but knew I likely wouldn't get enough out of it to buy it.

Death's Door is awesome. One of my favorite games of the last couple years.

I assume we'll get a character trailer for Aki in Street Fighter 6. Maybe a teaser trailer for Akuma, but he's so far off still. I also imagine Capcom will start showing off the first selection of premium costumes for SF6.

Rad, was planning on buying this day one. Maybe I'll save my money for a physical copy to put on my shelf, or pick up a Switch copy.

Please not another Ratchet game, unless they totally overhaul the series.

All I want to know is if MJ missions are back <3

I started Yakuza 0 a while back and it wasn't clicking with me. I still think the series is cool but I think I'm done with it.

I sold my copy of Borderlands 3 since it was on Extra, but this feels like another franchise I've had my fill of.

If you are interested in giving gamers more choice please port Starfield to PS5.

Mostly an uninteresting group of games to me. Stuff like Sniper Elite do not appeal to me at all. It Takes Two and Melty Blood are the only things I might check out.

Excited for It Takes Two and Melty Blood, otherwise nothing terribly appealing.

@Vivisapprentice I am very curious to see what DQXII is going to look like. I would love to see DQ evolve a little, but I can't imagine them doing away with turn-based combat and a lot of its existing tropes. I also think they can have a more "mature" plot line that still the graphics and hijinks the franchise is known for.

I wish these passes were a little bit longer. I'd consider buying in it I had the time to possibly reach the fighter coins, but 3 weeks is too short for the amount of time I have to play.

Lol dammit just bought Awake Remastered to replay it for the sequel!

Also, ugggh, CoD.

I'd still like to try this game out for myself, but I won't be buying it for anything more than $30.

Couldn't care less. I almost always reverted back to classic costumes in both og and Miles Morales. I think a lot of the extra costumes are kind of ugly. There's a novelty in them existing, but there's a reason they aren't the costume we see regularly in the comics/movies.

Shredder's Revenge!!!

People are talkng about Crystal Dynamics a lot, but my first guess is Volition will be closed. Saint's Row landed with a big thud and Volition hasn't had a hit since Saint's Row 4, which feels like a lifetime ago now.

I think Crystal Dyanamics has a long enough track record of hits prior to Avengers that they will survive mostly intact. But I worry about Eidos Montreal and Deus Ex, as they didn't officially announce a new title, and they have sort of an up and down history in terms of commercial hits. Thief, Guardian's, I liked both of those games but they both clearly did not perform to Square's expectations. Neither did Mankind Divided.

I can only see this as confirmation of a new Jet Set. JSR is so niche that Sega has to try to get the IP out there ahead of a new game, especially if it's supposed to be one of their "super" games, aka live service.

Otherwise it's a pretty weird collab. Yes they are both rollerblading games, but I don't know anyone who's played Roller Champions, and I know less people IRL that have played JSR.

Hard pass on this Fighters Pass. The avatar cosmetics would be nice to have but I'm not paying $5 for them. I'm mostly playing World Tour currently too, and I don't thiiiiiiink you van level up the Fighters Pass there?

I played most of but never finished og 3 on PS2, but never tried FES or Portable. It's a bummer it's not FES, as I always wanted to experience that content but was not about to restart and rebuy a 100 hour JRPG back then.

I'm not sure whether I'll get this or not. I have limited time and budget for gaming anyway so I might just pass entirely. I'm way more excited about Metaphor anyway.

Looked amazing.

I guess the Xbox Showcase doesn't make me more annoyed with Sony's lack of a road map, it just makes me frustrated once again Microsoft bought so many devs I like. I hope my PC is solid enough to run some of these titles. Obviously I'd like to try Starfield, but Clockwork Revolution also looked really rad to me.

I think they also had some cool 3rd party stuff, as you said. Atlus' Metaphor and the new Capcom Japanese folklore games looked awesome. They're both likely also headed to PlayStation, but having them certainly changed the tenor of the show.

Trailer looks pretty awesome, IMO. The only thing that might be disappointing to me personally is I'd love to see them make a sidescrolling PoP that is like the original PC game. Everything about it was so punishing and required insane precision. I think you can make a new PoP like that with Souls-like gameplay so popular. However, again, this trailer is pretty hype, so I'm interested.

This is the only fall game I care about. Remedy is one of my favorite developers. They have a unique approach and voice in AAA games, and I've been a fan since MaX Payne 1.

I won't worry about when it releases. If it's great it will hopefully find its audience. The first game in the long run must have justified revisiting, so maybe number 2 is destined for the same.

I played a decent amount of the original Diablo on PC. I enjoyed it at the time. Every subsequent game I've just found exceedingly tedious. I've been told I'm playing it "wrong", but yeah, if I have to beat it 5 times before it becomes "fun", well, yeah...

I'm having a great time learning Manon.

I only need one game a month and Trek to Yomi is that game. I'm happy.

Waiting to get out of work and pick up my copy.

I've been into Street Fighter since playing 2 in the arcades when I was 9, 10, I don't know. FG in general have been a big part of my life and how I made most of my friends in college.

There's nothing like them!

Beyond Good & Evil 2?

@CrispyMango92 Not sure how to respond to this. I've been there multiple times...?

Saving The Bronx and Staten Island for Spider-Man 3.

Pumped for Trek to Yomi!

Picking up SF6 on Friday and going to a local tourney on Sunday. Might be the only retail game I buy launch day all year.

I think it's Q1 2024, February or March.

@Talisman85 Sure they're different games, but there is a lot of crossover among fans of each. And to the average Joe gamer they are both fantasy action games with big dragons.

I don't think it makes sense for Capcom to make Dragon's Dogma multiplayer. They already have Monster Hunter in that realm. They wouldn't want to cannabilize their own market.

Well that sounds like a bummer, if true. Bungie isn't exactly hitting live service hone runs for me. Destiny was fun for a few months to me, and I played the campaign for 2 and then immediately fell off of it because it's too convoluted and difficult to parse.

It might make sense to unveil live service titles during summer games fest if they are launching on PC simultaneously, but if they have big first party titles to show it makes no sense to me.

I could see Death Stranding 2 being a Games Fest thing, but I don't really care about that one.

I'll agree that I kind of thought of Hyenas when Fairgame$ was being shown, that and Payday. I did feel a little cynical because so much was made of how Haven was making something really innovative. And I don't know, maybe the game is, but a PvPvE heist shooter doesn't strike me as especially novel or groundbreaking. But it could be! However that teaser didn't really tell us anything unique about the game.

As for Concord, I thought the teaser was interesting because it could be all sorts of things. The revelation that it's a PvP FPS of any sort is a major bummer.

Alan Wake 2 was the easy winner for me.

I can't call Relink a loser because that was some convincing gameplay that looked great and a release window of Winter 2023 basically makes it December. I don't think that game has actually had a real release date, ever, so saying it's going to be delayed again seems a bit disingenuous.

Is Helldivers II confirmed as a TPS? The trailer EXPLICITLY stated camera angles were changed for effect in the trailer.

Last, Spider-Man 2 was a loser for me. It will be a good, safe game, but it looked entirely business as usual. The only differences were Peter has symbiote powers, which will probably act exactly like Miles' venom powers, they have wing suits which negates the need to web swing(!?), and we get Queens, too.

Insomniac is a quality studio that delivers on time. I just haven't been wowed by them since the PS3.

It won't stop me from getting it, but I'm a big enough Remedy fan that I would have liked it to sit on my shelf.

Was one of the highlights!

Look there were quality games shown off, some of which I am super hype about, like Alan Wake 2, but I think there was an expectation we'd see more first party stuff and we just didn't. We saw two teasers from new acquisitions and Spider-Man 2 - which will be a very well made, safe game, that I will play in a year or two.

It wasn't a bad show, it just did not feel like a PlayStation showcase.

Sf6 beta and No Straight Roads before it's removed from Game Catalog.

It's been 3 years since Ghost of Tsushima, so I think Sucker Punch will announce the inevitable sequel. I'd peg that as a 2024 game. But I imagine it's far along, I can't imagine them not using their existing engine.

I think Sony will start to tip some of their live service cards, beyond just Last of Us MP. Maybe that's the rumored Twisted Metal, which it seems they would want to capitalize on the Peacock show starting this summer.

I don't know what I want out of this show. Sony makes a lot of excellent blockbusters, but I don't want them to totally get stick in their franchise rut - like omg, I want Santa Monica to move on from GoW.

@Nyne11Tyme The fear of disc rot is real lol

And, I mean, a utility bill is still way more than I paid for it

One of my favorite games of all time. I have a CIB Saturn copy I keep think about selling.

Couple of games I'd like to play on there. Gotta bump No Straight Roads up on my to play list!

Anything other than GoW.

Seems weird to knock them for giving players the option to view solutions in-game. It's just a QOL feature that is there if you need it. It just saves the player pulling up Game Help on PS5 or YouTube on their phone and watching a streamer do the same thing.

I'm pumped it's giving off Japan Studio vibes. Maybe someday I'll get my Tokyo Jungle 2...
