I'm taking the whole $400 million budget with a grain of salt but I can definitely believe Hermen's attitude. Who would have thought that not listening to feedback could become the straw that broke the camel's back. I genuinely wonder if Concord is even gonna come back. I mean, it IS Hermen's baby, and they're going through on airing a Secret Level episode.

Skulls and Bones if it was good

I don't mind remasters but there's plenty of franchises out there that deserve actual remasters. I'm still surprised that we don't have a full Uncharted collection on the ps5, just Uncharted 4 with the standalone dlc. Imagine a remaster collection with all the uncharted games, including the Vita one.

Hell, I'm surprised they never bothered to make a God of war remaster collection, especially after Valhalla.

There's a lot of potential with Soul Sacrifice. Back in high school, I started to brainstorm archfiend ideas like one based on Ahab/Moby Dick. The concept of turning literature/mythological creatures into grotesque (and maybe depressing) monsters is pretty fun. And honestly? I can see Forspoken's combat system work much better with Soul Sacrifice's.

I can see Bandai getting the liscense for Soul Sacrifice, considering if we take in account with Freedom Wars, having both Marduk and Dionaia in SS makes it eadier for Bandai to seal the deal. However, they might have to ask permission of Tecmo if they could share the cthonian/abyssal fiend.

Crossing my fingers for Marvelous AQL to do the same for Soul Sacrifice.

@ThomasHL That's what I thought as well. Atleast with Overwatch the story is your standard heroes vs villains, with playable characters from both sides. Even in Paladins, it's centered around the conflict between the magistrate and the resistance, as well as othe factions.

In Concord, freegunners are supposed to be like, mercenaries or something? Supposedly, accorisng to the story, it's focused on a conflict between them and some kind of organization, but we don't have any playable characters that are part of that side, so we just have freegunners fighting other freegunners because...well, it's a competitive 5v5 shooter game, don't think too hard on it. If it was just a singleplayer/co-op action adventure rpg a la Guardians of the Galaxy with multiple choices the player can make given they belong to no one but themselves, I can definitely see this become, at worst, a cult classic like Days Gone.

@thefourfoldroot1 funny enough, there's a concept design for Emari and it looks miles better while keeping some of the good elements of her final design. Makes me hope someone would leak the entire concept art of the game, cause I'm more interested what was behind the game's development process if anything.

@BamBamBaklava89 better to have style than to have none lol the base design was just a generic white dude but with green skin. Atleast this one's tries, unless you're one of the few rare people defending the game's art, in which...well, more power to you 😅

With the PS5 price hike, I wouldn't be surprised if the sales of Astrobot has to do with japanese players not financially stable enough to own the console yet. I've seen plenty of japanese gamers praising Astrobot online so it less has to do with people not caring it and more so of being forced to spend your entire allowance on a pricey console.

Funny how they're adding mister mosquito right after astrobot where you can find one of the bots based on said game lol

I like how Lennox actually looks like a lizard and not some guy doing a Yondu cosplay.

He should be grateful that his game still got acknowledged. Not every franchise had the same blessing like Resistance.

I just have one question: is there a demon's souls robot in the game?

I feel kinda old hearing about New Gundam Breaker again for some reason lol glad to see tht we finally have a good localized Gundam Breaker game. Might definitely check it out in the future.

I'll take it with a grain of salt. I remember some of these insiders, and even Hermen himself, saying the same about Concord before its teaser was shown.

Also, he says that Sony left the game to die, but if that were the case, why spend millions of dollars for Secret Level to produce an episode for it? It just doesn't sit right with me, unless they are planning a big comeback in the future but only time will tell.

Can't help but feel bad for the developers. This is the first every live service title from Sony to be shut down this quickly, and literally before they would even air a Secret Level episode of Concord. I can only hope this could teach Sony a lesson about their focus on live service titles, but I also hope the developers will work on something better. Honestly, there's still a small chance for Concord to make a comeback if they turn the game into something we all wanted instead of another overpriced pvp shooter.

Imo, what the game desperately needa are:

1) better character customization, particularly actually good looking skins that woudl convince me on continuing playing matches to get them (the ones we got aren't that great to say the least)

2) more variants. The fact that there's only one variant in this game is insane and makes me wonder if they only thought up this idea at the last second.

3) PvE content. This is their chance to do something that Blizzard failed to promise for OW2. Make us experience the adventures the characters are going through instead of making us wait each week for a cutscene we can just watch on youtube.

Additionally, i want to see more wacky characters. For a game that takes place in space, there's a big lack of "glup shiittos", something that even star wars hunters is somewhat nailing at better. There's only three characters in the game I would even consider unique base don their appearance while the rest are either human or too "human"-like.

I'll give them props for such move, even if it was too little too late. If only Sony did the same for Destruction All Stars though.

Imagine if the western release also had their own exclusive odd guest character. My choice? Mr. Bean.

How many times have they said this already?

Regardless, if From isn't available yet to work on a sequel, then I'll gladly take a 60fps remaster with quality of life changes/additions.

This is definitely far better than the mega battle one. Still a shame that battle for the grid never got more characters though...

It's a shame. This and Deep Down had me incredibly hyped back in middle school, and was hoping they woukd release at some point but after years passed with barely any updates, I sorta moved on and forgot abou them. Still, wish nothing but the best for the devs.

Shame to see them go but it had a good run. Thanks to them that I got more into gaming especially around middle school. Wish nothing but the best of luck to the staff.

That's neat but I still had more fond memories with the sequel. Hopefully it'll come to PS Plus premium as well.

Looks promising but man, what's with China Hero and their obsession with souls-likes lately lol I'm kinda glad that Lost Soul Aside is still gonna retain that ol' hack and slash goodness and not dumb it down to "souls-like". I love souls likes as much as the next guy but atleast spice it up.

On one hand, disappointing. On the other hand, at the very least it looks nowhere near as janky as that Jujutsu Kaisen game so atleast there's that lol I wouldn't mind arena fighter if they atleast offer some sort of side content that isn't just a barebones story mode using screencaps from the anime.

Sucks but not surprised. Knowing how Capcom treated their Resident Evil multiplayer titles, I figured this game wouldn't have lated that long. I don't think the game is bad but it really just cements the fact of how much everyone are desperate for a new Dino Crisis game.

Curious if the soundtrack will remain the same as some of the songs are liscensed.

I'm still annoyed taht the PSVR2 doesn't have backward compatibility. The fact that there are so many underrated games that are still locked on the first version felt like one step backwards for the hardware. I'm glad that third party and indie devs are still showing love but if Sony doesn't care, then what's the point? I would not be surprised if they pull a Vita move on this which is a shame because the system is actually pretty cool. Just wish it had more support from Sony themselves.

You don't know how much I want this. I'm craving for more PS2/Xbox 2000s cheesy goodness.

Crossing my fingers it's not an arena fighter and instead plays more like monster hunter/freedom wars, as you hunt down kaijus as different characters or even as your own.

Edit: sceatch that, it seems to be a mobile release, so my expectattions are lower than before lol

Personally thought the combat itself was kinda eh and the controls were a mess but it was saved by its presentation as well as its cast of characters (the voice acting was great as well). Ngl, I think reboot of the game could work. Add some Blade influence and I'm sold.

Oh and fun fact, one of the ghosts in the game is supposedly a descendnat of Sir Daniel Fortesque, right down to even having one eye.

I'll give them credit for showing more new titles form their first party studios, something that Sony really needs to take notes from besides announcing ports of games we already know about.

Speaking of gritty asian developed souls-likes, nayone knows whatever happened to that one that was accused of stelaing animations from Bloodborne?

Man, I just want a new Rayman game....

But hey, with the Black Flag remake, guess it's a better alternative than Skulls and Bones I suppose. Wonder if they'll keep the multiplayer mode, though. Unrionically wasted more time there than in the single player campaign lol

I feel like I'm one of the few who likes the game. Yeah, it's practically Nioh but open world but as someone who loves Ghost of Tsushima and Nioh, that's good enough for me.

Also, I genuineky didn't care when people complained about the graphics. For me, rhey were good enough. I play Tecmo games for their gameplay, not for the graphics. Why else is the warriors franchise still going to this day?

Anime/manga tie-in games like this are the way to go. The less repetitive slashers and arena fighters we get, the better lol

@theSpectre you don't know how excited I was for Deep Down, just to see the game get canned...

Honestly, I wonder if Bluepoint will also do the same with Demon's Souls Remake's pre-order weapons and armors later.

I have a feeling that it has to do with those clips I've seen online getting traction. I remember seeing one video of someone cosplaying as Vegeta in-gamenand started fist fighting with flames coming out of his hands. That alone convinced me on one day buying this game on a sale.

Oh no! Anyway...

But seriously though, that's hardly surprising, and knowing Square this probably won't stop them from churning out more live service titles.

@Keyblade-Dan Imagine a complete god of war collection WITH betrayal as a bonus lol

I'm surprised that they added a standalone expansion (Miles Morales) over something like say, Days Gone or something. I mean, while we're at it, why not throw in Lost Legacy too?

One question: can we still fight the big worm?

I'm starting to believe that Rise of Ronin is actually the Ghost of Tsushima sequel Sony was hoping to release but couldn't, and I'm not complaining lol

Oh no! Anyway...

Joking aside, this isn't susprising in the slightest. There are some rumors that the justice league might return but I'm pretty sure they're only doing it for damage control, and even if they bring they back, I hatdly doubg the interest would still be there.

As someone who had a soft spot on the Zelda CD-I games thanks to those YTPs, I'll give this a shot.

I'm curious if this is one of those rumored Scifi rpgs in development by one of Sony's first party studios.

The best thing they could have atleast done is give the game a PSV2 port. I don't mind the lack of a PS5 port as you can still play on it with improved performance but the fact that you are forced to have a PSVR1 just to play the game on VR is infuriating. Sony always say how much they care about live service but between this and the cancelled Spiderman and TLoU multiplayer projects, I'm starting to have my doubts.

Curious if this means she'll release it to consoles as well lol
