While there are certainly many problems, I can't help but feel a lot of this is hyped up for clicks. The art controversy in particular, while bad, isn't as massive an issue as influencers have been trying to blow it up to.
Ah almost missed this story! Rally enjoyed the first Hellblade though I heard a mixed response to the sequel. Look forward to diving into this sometime in the future
@AgentMantis oh totally, they obviously have a huge player base I guess I was just curious were the core users of PS interested in these games. There's a lot of articles so I was really wondering what the traffic like was on them
There are a lot of articles about Gatcha games recently on PS. Are they that popular? I imagine it's for SEO and such and I can't blame a site for trying to pay themselves but it feels like a lot!!
Just to be clear, the 40 euro price point has yet to be confirmed but expected from their wording Also Helldivers 2 didn't have much hype around it either pre-launch, worth mentioning
What a disaster. This is a huge blunder from the writer, sure, but also the art director and rest of the art team. This is blatant plagiarism and would have went through so many hands and seen by so many. If you're referencing an artist this much you should hire them. Hope 4nt1r34l gets compensated and compensated well.
Strange article. Headline says members are stunned but does not back the claim up, and then has a poll at the bottom almost like your trying to influence the poll outcome? What's the point in that?
I've played none of these games but Fallout 3 is the most appealing to me to start! Own it and New Vegan on PS3 but in todays day in age I'm just waiting for a likely remaster
Interesting trailer; it's so vague about the story and pretty unfocused beyond the 2 protagonists doing random things. I probably won't okay it unless the story is excellent
There's no transparency on what gets put to the top of this chart though, right? Sony could just bump GoY to the top to advertise the game, I wouldn't just take their word that this is purely based on the number of pre-orders and more so based also on what they would like folks to pre-order
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

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: Bungie's New PS5 Shooter Marathon Grabs September Release Date
