YES PUH-LEASE! I would love new Sony handheld so bad, and while sure I'd love some exclusive games for the device that just isn't realistic anymore. So being able to play my backlog sounds great!
Sony has a real problem on their hands; their fanbase wants their live service games to fail so bad. Hard to turn public sentiment around in that environment. I think their press approach for Marathon, having a glow out of information through influencers and press, is wise and the sentiment is very positive if a bit wait and see. Regardless though there is a huge chorus of folks hoping for this game to crash and burn. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.
The art style is AWESOME. Super slick, great colours and also looks really readable from a gameplay perspective.
I don't play these sort of games though, I don't have the time or interest in live service, but when it eventually comes to PS Plus and I randomly win the lotto and don't need to work then I'll have a look
They announced and immediately cancelled a gig in Finland last year so this has been on shaky ground since the get go. I'd still like to attend so I'll have a look if any tickets are going cheaper now
I buy maybe 1 full price game a year. I don't have the time to jump to a new game straight away so usually when I finally have the time or feeling like playing a certain title, I can pick it up physically new for 20 euro. A game like Ghost of Yotei though I will be buying DAY ONE =D
The lines about the economy are interesting. By the half way point in the original GoT I had way more resources than I needed. Would like a more harsher experience for sure
I've been humming and hawing about that Digimon game for years! Not sure if the gameplay would be something I'd like but I'll definitely give it a try now!
I immediately forgot about this game. I wonder will the story be gripping, the trailer they showed sadly made the game seem quite generic and it's sci fi elements pretty surface level. Interested to see the reviews and how it comes together, always hope every game is great
Actually looks interesting compared to most of these and could find an audience! Not for me though. I bet the team is either happy Concord failed as this looks somewhat similar in theme, it super, super terrified.
I had to stop playing Kena after 2 hours, not a good game despite its presentation. Animal well and Zau are both on my system though I doubt I'll get to either in the next month 😅
To be expected; Uncharted Collection didn't include the multiplayer modes for example. I know the multiplayer was a huge element of Gears but I'm happy just to play the campaigns!
I've always thought about buying an Xbox to play these games so it's great news that it's coming to PS5! I actually own the original trilogy on 360 because the games were like 1 euro each, but never got the machine itself 😅
There are very few games that I would like that I'm unaware of I would say, I listen to too many podcasts! Feel like this is caught between a hardcore that don't need it and a casual market that knows what it likes and isn't looking for anything new
I don't mind the multiple pages, get that ad revenue, but this new style of guide would be much more useful if it was just a straight list. It's a lot of scrolling to get the info and I'm not reading the little run down for most of the games
From the last report it sounded like it was in trouble and years away from release; no doubt due to meddling from executives with little to no understanding and just wanting dollar signs. Shadow of War had very bad word of mouth due to micro-transactions being shoe-horned in, I imagine similar interference was occurring
Unsurprising. I do wonder will this be any good, the gameplay demo they showed off seemed highly scripted like the E3 demos of old. I hope they make a great game but this Perfect Dark remake seems to have been on the struggle bus for years
Did they advertise this heavily? I don't recall seeing much about it. SM2 was, if we're being fair, pretty underwhelming so I'm not surprised that PC players haven't been super interested
I'd love to see Hellblade 2 come over! I really liked the 1st game though I've heard mixed things about the sequel. Would still love to play it with my Dualsense though!
@Titntin Fair point, I'm not reffering to the graphics quality or how well it runs, but the actual art design. It's a generic realism with no personality. A lot of tech allows us to make high quality assets and worlds but sadly there's not much actual artistic thought put into them beyond realism. A really scourge in game development at the minute I think
I could have told them this the day they released the first trailer. You can't make a generic game with no personality and expect people to flock to it.
People in the comments complaining about "uhhh it's political uhhh" are being ridiculous. It's an active genocide where 45,000+ people have died and they copy and pasted from imagery from it to promote their product. It's ghoulish and disgusting, and if you don't get that reexamine your humanity.
"God of War live service" of all the stupid ideas! Jim Ryan did great launching the PS5 but clearly hadn't a clue what he was doing with the studios, and I'm deeply concerned about Herman's judgement too. What a waste of time from 2 great studios. We should be hearing and soon playing their latest single player games. This is so frustrating to hear, I am genuinely angry

Re: Marathon a 'Premium', Paid for Game on PS5, But It's Not $70
Just say it's 40 euro. This sillyness from developers and publishers is ridiculous

Re: New Bungie Game Targeting PS5, PC, and Switch Skips State of Play Reveal

Re: Forza Horizon 5 Confirmed for PS5, Out This Spring
IS the art design or this game just really bland and uninteresting? Very washed out lighting too, looks like a modern Ubisoft game
